When Love Lasts x Jemily

Chapter 13

Emily's pov:
JJ wasn't doing any better. She wasn't sleeping and she hadn't take more than a few sips of water. She couldn't even eat anything without getting sick.

She was laying in bed constantly getting burning hot and freezing cold. I went and laid down beside her kissing her temple. "Do you want anything? Water?"

She just shook her head. "Okay why don't you try and go back to sleep for a little bit?" I said stroking I piece of her hair. She closed her eyes and fell in and out of sleep for a while.

About 15 minutes later she was asleep when her whole body started shaking. She was having a seizure. It went on for about a minute until she finally work up.

"Okay baby we're going to the hospital." I said picking her up and carrying her into the car.

She was admitted to the emergency room and they started doing tests. I was in the waiting area when a doctor came out. "What happened?" I asked her quickly.

"Jennifer is doing okay as of right now, but this isn't just a normal cold. We need to do more tests to find out what's happening. She's in room 104 if you'd like to go see her." the doctor said.

"Okay thank you." I said walking towards the room. I decided to text the team and tell them what was happening, and of course they all rushed down to the hospital to see JJ.

I walked into the hospital room and saw JJ laying on the bed. "Emilyyyy." She sang. "Hey sweetie pie." I smiled pulling a chair and sitting next to her.

"I want to go home. Can I go home?" She said looking at me. "They still need to do a few more tests. So not quite yet" I said with a frown.

She sighed. I heard my phone beep so I checked it. "Hey the team is here. They're all worried about you. Do you want to see them?" I said smoothing some of her hair back. "Okay." She nodded.

The whole team came up to see JJ. "Oh kid what happened?" Rossi asked. "That's a real good question" JJ said with a smile.

"They don't know yet their still doing more tests." I said with a laugh.

Everyone talked for a little while. Tara, Morgan, Spencer, Rossi, Garcia, and Hotch. I was pretty crowded in here. Then we heard a knock on the door.

"Hey it's Dr. Taylor." She called through the door. "Come in." JJ said.

"Hi Jennifer, we have some of the results. I think it'd be best if everyone step outside for a minute." She said looking around. Everyone started shuffling outside.

JJ grabbed my arm and stopped me from getting up. "Stay." She said. I nodded and sat back down holding her hand tightly.

"Okay so I have good news and bad news. The good news is that you should be fine. Everything's looking pretty good. The bad news however, you weren't just sick. You had trace amounts of cyanide in your system." The doctor sighed.

My jaw dropped. "I'm sorry, cyanide?" I said in disbelief. The doctor nodded. "Someone tried to poison me?" JJ said with a sad look on her face. She looked hurt.

"Someone will be by later with your discharge papers and then you should be free to go. I'll give you a minute alone." She said walking out of the room.

JJ just looked really sad. She was staring at the floor and playing with her fingers. I mean I'm not really sure how you're supposed to react when you find out that someone is trying to kill you.

"Hey." I said grabbing both her hands. "We are going to find out who did this. Everything's going to be okay." I mumble pulling her into a hug.

The truth is I have know idea who would want to do this. JJ has put away so many criminals the list is basically endless. But I was going to do whatever it took to keep her safe. Because you protect the people that you love.

JJ came home the same day. She was allowed to go back to work tomorrow. "So how you feeling?" I said setting down my keys on the counter.

"Fine." She said with a small smile. "I'm going to take a shower. I feel icky." She said heading to the bathroom. I nodded and started cleaning up a bit.

About 20 minutes later I was sitting on the bed. I realized that the shower had turned off, but JJ hadn't come out yet.

"JJ are you okay?" I called through the door. I just heard small whimpering sounds. "JJ?" I called again knocking on the door.

When she still said nothing I opened it. I walked into the bathroom and pulled back the shower curtain. I saw JJ sitting on the floor crying.

She looked up at me. "Go away!" She screamed. I turned around so I wasn't facing her and sat on the floor. "Get out!" She screamed again.

"Baby I'm sorry I can't leave you here like this. I can help you if you let me." I said. She completely collapsed onto the floor of the shower her entire body going limp.

She just let out big heaving sobs. I grabbed a towel and wrapped her in if pulling her off of the floor. "It's okay it's okay." I rocked back and forth holding her in my arms.

Eventually I got up and got JJ dressed in pyjamas. I climbed into bed with JJ. She was only softly crying now. "Do you want to talk to me now?" I said quietly holding her in my arms. "I'm sorry I yelled at you I didn't mean too. Please don't be mad at me." She said softly.

"It's okay sweetie. I'm not mad at you at all. I promise." I said. "Can you please tell me what's going on?"

"Someone wants to kill me." She said slowly. "I know it's terrible. But we won't let them okay?" I said holding her tighter.

"But what if they should?" She said. Now I was confused. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"Maybe I deserve it. I mean look at what we do for a living. It's not accident that I'm being targeted. Probably by someone I hurt. I've killed people Emily. I've killed more people than some serial killers. Maybe I deserve what I'm bound to get." She said tears streaming down her face again.

I was in total shock. "No." I said plainly. She looked up at me confused. "I'm sorry jayje but your just wrong." She looked even more curious now.

"The people that we catch, are terrible people. People that hurt innocent people. and sometimes, we do have to kill them. But we do it to protect ourselves and other people. But we save way more people than we kill. Those guys, there nothing like us. So if you think that you deserve to die for hurting on of those maniacs, then you're wrong. You deserve everything. Your a freaking hero. And I don't want to hear you say deserve to get hurt ever ever again."

She looked up at me a little shocked about what I had just said. But I knew that I was right. JJ does not deserve to die and I'm sure of that. 

"We are going to catch this son of a bitch you hear me?" I said kissing her lips.  "I love you JJ. And I need you to never forget that." I said hugging her. "I love you too Emily." She said. We both laid down under the covers and slowly fell asleep.
