We Found Love Right Where We Are

It's My Fault, Princess

Morgan's POV
I punched the wall, "god damn, when are they going to update us on Emily." I yelled. "I think you spoke to soon." Garcia said, pointing at the nurse coming our way. "Family of Emily Prentiss?" The whole team shot up out of their seats. "That's us." JJ said. "Big family. Well, Emily is awake now. Everyone can visit her." The nurse said. "I should call Emily's parents." Hotch said. "I'll call my parents also. When we spent the week in Pennsylvania, you can tell that they really love Emily." JJ said. After JJ called her parents and Hotch called Ambassador Prentiss, we went to go and visit Emily. "She's still asleep, but you can all stay in the room. She will wake up soon." The nurse said. "Em, you better wake up. We need to start making wedding plans. I miss you, even though I saw you in the last 24 hours" JJ said. As if on cue, Emily opened her eyes. "Hey guys. I missed you all." Emily said. "I missed you too baby." JJ said as she kissed Emily on the lips. "Oh my god. Seriously guys? Get a room." I said. Everybody laughed. "We are in a room, you just happen to be in the same room as me." Emily said. "Ouch." I said, pretending to be hurt. "When can I get out of this damn hospital?" Everyone laughed at Emily. "You got shot in the shoulder, and you're asking to be discharged from the hospital already? You're out of your mind, Emily." Rossi said. "Emily, you wouldn't even be in this hospital bed if you didn't take the shot for me. It's my fault, Princess. I should've been paying attention. I'm so sorry." I said.

Emily's POV
"Emily, you wouldn't even be in this hospital bed if you didn't take the shot for me. It's my fault, Princess. I should've been paying attention. I'm so sorry." Morgan said. I could see the hurt in his eyes. "Hey guys, mine if me and Morgan talk for a little bit?" I asked the team. "I don't mind. Let's go guys." Hotch said. Once they all left, I told Morgan to get a chair and sit by my hospital bed. "Hey Morgan." I said. Morgan was still looking down. "Hey Emily." He still didn't look look up. "Morgan look at me." He looked up. "Don't blame yourself. I took the bullet for you because I love you. It's not your fault." I said. "It is my fault. I should've been paying attention to my surroundings. If I had been paying attention, then the bullet wouldn't hit either of us." Morgan said to me. His tears threatened to fall. "What I did for you was my choice. I would do it again. I would take a bullet for you. Hell, I would take a bullet for anyone on our team. If the bullet hit you, chances are, you wouldn't be alive right now. The shooter wouldn't hesitate to kill you." I said to Morgan. The shooter didn't kill me because he works for Doyle, and Doyle doesn't want me dead, so that he can torture and kill me. I thought to myself. "It isn't fair, Princess." Morgan said. "What isn't fair?" I asked. "Almost every time we have a case, you get hurt. What if the next time you get hurt on a case, we don't come back home as a full team?" Morgan asked. "Hey, don't think like that. I try my best to come back home in one piece, but even if we don't come
back home as a full team, know that I will always love you guys. Our team is the closest thing to family that I've got." I said to Morgan. I can see Morgan's tears falling. "Oh, stop being such a baby, you little fucker. Give me a hug." I said, Morgan finally smiled.
