Be My Home

Chapter 3:

3 days after

Emily "you're suspended for the next two weeks", Luke "what", Emily "you disobeyed my order, and it almost costed JJ's life", Luke "it wasn't even like that", Emily "you can tell that to David, he's in charge until I come back to work but until then I belong at home with JJ and the boys", Luke "you know if you are dating her that's not allowed", Emily "Luke stay in your lane and out of mine", she grabbed her things and left home. Emily "I'm home", Henry "look we what made with mommy", Emily "oh my gosh this is so lovely. I'm gonna put this on the fridge so we can see it everyday. Speaking of your mother, where is she", JJ "I'm in here", Emily "you've gotta take it easy", JJ "Em really I'm fine", Emily "your doctor wants you to take it easy, you just got back home from the hospital, you need to take it slow", JJ "okay, I'll take it easy". Emily "I'm snapping a picture of you three, you are so cute", JJ smiles.

My babies. For starters i appreciate all of the support and love JJ's been receiving after leaving the hospital, she returns to work when she's ready, same with me, I'd rather be home with them making sure she's okay. Seeing them in all smiles is just making my day, I'm so grateful that my babies are safe. It was clear that JJ was keeping this a secret, she didn't want no one to find out, and I was more than worried when she didn't tell me. I still don't wanna talk about the day I found her, her fragile body, just bare cold. I refuse to talk about it, I'm just glad that JJ and are the boys are safe. We will continue to take it all the love, and we thank you for shedding love upon JJ. To my sweet girl, you are the bravest woman I know, and Ty strongest woman ever. You're my best friend and I love you more than anything in this world, I'm so happy that you're okay, and I look forward to creating more endless memories with you, I love you.

Emily "where's Henry", JJ "I just put him down for a nap, same with Michael. You okay", Emily "yeah, it's just the past few days have been rough", JJ "Em I wouldn't even be okay if it weren't for you. You saved my life, you didn't give up on finding me, you kept looking for me, and you found me. I'm here because of you, try not to beat yourself up over this", Emily "I know I shouldn't be beating myself up over this because at the end of the day you're okay, but what if we didn't find you. What if I would have listened to Luke and gave up on finding you, I would have lost you forever and the boys would have been lonely of a mother", JJ "Emily stop it. This is so unhealthy and unfair. The only reason that I am standing here in front of you is because of you. You're my best friend, if you were in danger and I had to save you I would do so no questions asked, but it's the opposite. You saved my life, I would have died from hypothermia or because of the minor injuries I sustained. But you saved me", Emily started to realize that everything JJ was saying was entirely true. Emily hugged JJ, Emily "I'm sure you don't wanna talk about it but can you tell me when it first started and why you hesitated to tell anyone of us about what was going on", JJ "let me get some wine because I need to drink a bit", Emily "okay", JJ poured two glasses of wine, one for her and one for Emily, who she passed the wine glass to after sitting on the couch. Emily took a sip and then put her glass on the table, JJ sipped hers, Emily "take it easy now, let's not get drunk", JJ "I'm sorry, it's just I really haven't been this free since he changed. It was all lovely and so romantic in the beginning, he was the person that could make me laugh, he made me happy which is of course why I agreed to marry him, it was one of the happiest moments of our marriage. After the case with the whole face cards, it just destroyed him. He started coming home late and would leave on his work trips and stay longer than he needed to, one day he came home really drunk and he swung at me, I thought it was a mistake but as the days went by it became a regular thing. Eventually I developed all of the bruises I currently have, he would force me to have sex with him, he would often choke me until I couldn't breathe. I was scared he was gonna eventually lose his mind completely and go after the baby and Henry. But luckily he never did, I was his torture toy, he took photos, videos, he even recorded himself forcing himself on me. I thought it was never going to be over, when Henry came into the room I saw the look of terror on his face. He knew that it was bad, he just froze until he pushed William off of me, I told him to go straight to your house, all he kept asking me was why, he didn't want me to get hurt anymore but I did what every mother would do, and I saved them", Emily "I wish you would have told me this sooner", JJ "I tried to, numerous amount of times but he would always catch me trying to text or even leave a voice message to your phone, I tried and i eventually gave up losing all hope until you know what", Emily "I'm sorry. He's an asshole for doing all the things he did to you, for putting you through all that misery and suffering. I know this isn't the time to be asking you about this but what's going to happen with the house", JJ "I don't want it anymore, I can't live there anymore, I was tortured there and I don't think I could relive it nor live there anymore knowing it's past", Emily "do you wanna move into my place", JJ "here", Emily "no actually I just bought another house, it was just finished, only if you're okay with it. I'm not gonna force you", JJ "I know, but me and the kids would be invading your privacy, we'll just be a burden", Emily "you're joking right. I'd rather live with you than no one at all, it gets pretty boring being alone and I get all lonely", JJ "are you sure, like I really wouldn't want to if this", Emily "JJ I want you to move in with me, in fact I'm demanding that you move in with me", she chuckled. JJ "yes, we would love to move in with you", the two of them hugged, JJ drunk more of her wine, and in fact she nearly finished the bottle. Emily "okay, let's get you to the shower, you smell like wine and desperation", Emily guided JJ to the bathroom, Emily "your towel is here, the soap is in the shower. No you don't, no more wine for you", she said grabbing the bottle, Emily "I don't want you getting hurt, you take a shower and I'm gonna order our favorite takeout", she left the bathroom. Cleaning up the kitchen, Henry "Emily", Emily "hey buddy. are you okay", Henry "where's mommy", Emily "you're mommy is having a shower, is everything okay", Henry "I'm hungry", Emily "I'm actually ordering some food for us right now, are you okay with anything or do you want something specific", Henry "anything", Emily "okay". Emily ordered the food, JJ "that shower felt so good, it was actually the best shower I have had in a long time", Emily "well I'm glad you enjoyed your shower, how are you feeling wine queen", JJ "how much did I drink", Emily "the whole damn bottle", JJ "I drunk the whole thing", she said covering her mouth in a bit of shock, Emily "you did, the whole thing, look it's empty", she said while turning the bottle upside down. JJ "I'm so sorry", Emily "don't be. It's okay", JJ "do you think I could have the upcoming month off, I'm not sure if I could return to work just yet", Emily "I already told you, you can take as much time as you need before coming back to the BAU, I'm taking off too", JJ "for what", Emily "to be here with you and the boys", JJ "you didn't have to do that", Emily "I know but I really want to be there for you and the boys", JJ "would you be interested in going out", Emily "what do you mean, like out for drinks to have a nice night or something", JJ "have we could have Penelope and Tara tag along with us", Emily "sure. The food's here", JJ "Henry the food is here baby", Henry "I'm coming mommy", they had dinner and they headed to bed. *JJ's nightmare. Will "get the fuck up you bitch I am not gonna tell you again, get the hell up", JJ "leave me alone", Will "get the fuck up Jennifer", JJ "Will Stop It", Will grabbed a belt and started to hit her with the belt, JJ screamed loudly over and over again but that didn't stop him from beating her, bruises formed and she even started bleeding. She tried to move but she fell to the ground as he continued to brutally beat her. JJ was screaming, Emily "JJ, JJ. Honey wake up, JJ", JJ "no, no. Let me go", Emily "JJ it's me, wake up. JJ", Emily shook her continuously, Emily "JJ please. JJ wake up", JJ woke up crying and in state of shock. Emily "JJ it's me", JJ wrapped her arms around Emily's arm, JJ "I'm scared", Emily "you scared the shit out of me Jennifer", JJ "I'm sorry", Emily "no baby, don't be sorry. It's okay". A few days later.

Penelope "so when will you two be back at work", JJ "I really like being at home with the boys", Penelope "you and Emily live together", JJ "yes, she actually asked me to move in after the whole you know what", Emily "you are drunk lol", JJ "I am not", Emily "are too, you've had almost ten shots and drunk a whole bottle", JJ "can you please take me home", Emily "girls I think we're gonna call it a night", Penelope "yeah", Emily "yeah", Penelope "I will drop you off", Emily "no, none of us can drive. I am calling a cab for us", Emily called for a cab, Penelope "you get home safe", Emily "you two", Emily climbed in the car and then JJ got in beside her. They got home, Spencer "the boys are sleeping", JJ "thank you for watching them", Spencer "no problem", after Spencer left. Emily got in the shower and then JJ took a shower, JJ "I have a bad headache", Emily "you're gonna have a hangover too lol. Just wait until the morning", JJ "do you have anything I can take", Emily "let me check, JJ come", JJ "yes", Emily "take these", JJ took the pills, Emily "what", JJ kissed Emily. Emily "not like this. JJ not like this", JJ "I'm sorry I don't know what I was thinking", she left going to the room to bed, Emily "JJ", JJ "leave me alone. It was a mistake, I'm sorry", JJ slept with the Henry, Michael was in the crib with next to the bed, and Emily slept on the couch. Emily drunk her coffee and sat on the patio, just taking in the fresh air and beautiful sun rise. Henry "Emily", Emily "good morning little man. How did you sleep", she said while tickling him, he let out cutest little laugh, Henry "good. Mommy slept in the bed with me", Emily "do you wanna make breakfast with me", Henry "can we make Mickey Mouse pancakes", Emily "we sure can, come on", Emily whipped up the batter and poured the pancakes on the burner. JJ "I'm going on a little run, I will be back", she said kissing Henry on the cheek, Emily "JJ would you let loose a little bit", JJ "I'm going".
