A few hours later...

Your eyes flicker open.

"Holy shit."  You say quietly under your breathe while turning over on your side. You roll to the edge of the bed and try to sit up. You lift yourself up from your pillow and clench your stomach to try and stand. 

"Woah, Y/N, lay down." JJ comes running in and stops you before you stand up. She lays you back down into your bed and sits down on it next to you. 

"Hey, how do you feel?" She asks while you mask the pain from your face. "Just sore. Did you get him?" You let a tear slip and JJ quietly says, "He's gone. You got him." 

You try to hide your tears but you can't hold them any longer. JJ comes up and hugs you, and you just breakdown. 

"J, I need to get out of here. I want to go home." You ask while you're ear to ear. She pulls away and smiles, "I know, the nurse is already getting the paperwork ready. Then we'll go home." 

Hotch and Emily walk in to the room both smiling awkwardly. "Hey, Y/N." They say in unison. "The Bureau is sending us a camper van for us all to go home when you're ready." Hotch says with a smile on his face.

"A campervan?" You ask with a croak in your voice. "Well, we have to get you home gently somehow, there's a bed in the back." He says while he heads back out of the room. 

"How you feeling?" Emily asks while walking closer to you and JJ. JJ is holding your hand while you sit up to talk to Emily. 

"Been better. Everything is loud and I'm tired." You breathe deeply and she asks, "How you feeling really?" She asks as she sits down on the bed with you and JJ.

"5 days, just 5 more days and then it'll all be quiet again." You say as your smile fades. "Me and JJ will be with you the whole way, JJ packed a bag for the trip so just a couple more hours." She says reaching for your hand to hold it. 

JJ stands up and heads out the door, as she walks over to the nurse's desk you ask Emily, "How's she doing?" She smiles and replies, "Y/N, she's been attached to your hip. They had to pull her away from you. Stop worrying about her, you're the one in the bed." She gives you a small smile before JJ walks back in.

"Ok, papers. You know the drill." She hands you the discharge papers and you quickly fill them out.

"Y/N? The vans here. You ready?" Hotch says from the door as you hand JJ the papers back. You smile to Hotch while you sit up. 

The nurse and JJ walk in, wheelchair in hand. Emily holds your hand and JJ reaches for the other. They slowly lower you into the wheelchair and out the door. 

You see a big, beige and FBI stamped camper van pull into the driveway with Derek in the driver seat. "Holy shit, you weren't kidding." You say to Hotch as Derek pops open the door.

"Welcome!" Derek says with a big smile on his face. "J? My tags?" You ask her as you notice nothing hanging from your neck. "Oh shoot, yes, here sorry." She pulls the dog tags off her neck and places them around your neck. 

You smile at the fact that she had been wearing them and not Emily. 

"Ok, ready?" Emily says while reaching for your hand again. You breathe deeply and nod your head. Slowly, JJ and Emily lift you out of the wheelchair and walk you up the stairs of the van. 

"Fuck." You wince as your stomach shoots a pain through your body. "Ok, take a break. It's ok." JJ says while they both stop half way up the stairs. You take another deep breathe as you look at JJ. "I'm good." They start walking up with you again. 

You reach the top of the stairs and notice the nurse walking away with the chair. Emily lets go and you rest most of your body weight on JJ. "Come on, the bed is in the back." JJ walks you to the bed slowly as Derek and Hotch fight over the drivers seat. 

You reach the bed and JJ rests you on the end of it. You pull yourself towards the bed head and lay down on a few pillows. 

JJ watches you pull yourself to the head of the bed while helping Emily with the bags. "J!" You yell from the bed as she places the last bag. "You ok?" She says as you smile. "Come here" She walks over and helps you put a pillow under your back.

"J? Take these." You lift your dog tags from your neck and hold them out for her. "Y/N, I can't take your tags." She grabs them but watches them in her hand. 

"J. Take them." She puts them around her neck as Hotch yells, "Everyone buckled in?" He obviously won the driver seat argument as JJ walks back to the seat next to Emily.

"Ready when you are!" She yells from her seat while making sure you're ok.

JJ's POV: 

"Ready when you are!" I say to Hotch as I peek back to Y/N. I smiled and then turned back to Emily. She looked me up and down and then says quietly while leaning over, "The tags? God, their basically proposing!" I smiled as she notices Y/N's dog tags. 

"Do you think they'll be ok?" I asked Emily quietly so Y/N couldn't hear. "It'll be tough but we'll be there for them." She says while placing her hand on mine.
