Moving Forward

Part 63

Emily Prentiss' POV

It's our second day of camping and today we're supposed to go fishing and I wanted to go to the beach with the kids because I thought that it might be nice to enjoy the warm sand under our feet, the sound of the waves and the chilliness of the sea before fall starts for real and it becomes too cold outside to go to the beach. Anyway, why not? And who doesn't like to go to the beach?

Jennifer is a bit tired today, but she said she was fine. David and Aaron are preparing the lunch. Spencer is playing with Oliver, Jaeden, and Hope. Desiree is feeding Lacey. Joy is rocking Zoe who's sleeping in her arms. Meg is texting because that's what teenagers do! Derek is packing the cars with Chris, Kate, Savannah, and Carolyn while Penelope makes sure that everything's there and nothing's missing. And I'm resting a bit before we go fishing because I needed a nap and anyway, that's what pregnant women do!

David Rossi's POV

We just arrived at the fishing site and we rent a boat. I give everyone a life vest.

JJ takes some natural ginger anti-nauseant tablets and gives some to her kids. She then offers a few to Emily and Oliver because they forgot theirs.

"Okay! I hope we will get some fish, 'cause it's tonight's meal!" I laugh.

We all get on the boat and we start fishing.

Jennifer Jareau's POV

It has now been 45 minutes that we're on the boat. Even if she had anti-nauseant tablets, Hope has been sick. So she's sleeping in my arms, wrapped in her blanket. Emily doesn't seem to feel well either. I wonder if she's gonna be sick.

* * * * * * * * * *

Emily Prentiss' POV

I'm leaning over the edge of the boat, ready to throw up anytime soon. I hate being on that boat! Aaron passes behind me and puts his hand on my shoulder. I turn back.

"Are you okay?"

"Yeah..." I feel a wave of nausea, so I turn to the water and throw up.

"It's okay, I got you."

"I'm fine. It's only seasickness..."

"You're sure? I want you to sit down, okay?"

Aaron helps me to walk to a seat and I sit down.

* * * * * * * * * *

Jennifer Jareau's POV

It's been now 2 hours that we're on the boat. David caught 3 fishes; Aaron, Derek, and Chris caught 2 fishes; Carolyn and Savannah caught 1 fish; and Spencer didn't catch any fish. He's so bad at fishing!

* * * * * * * * * *

Spencer Reid's POV

I'm so bad at fishing! Jaeden arrives behind me.

"Daddy?"

"What's going on, Buddy?"

"Why you do not have fishes?"

"Why didn't I catch any fish? Probably because Uncle Derek catch them all!"

Once I've finished saying my sentence, I feel someone grabbing me by behind and within a second I'm in the water. I hear everyone laughing.

"Derek!" I yelled.

David and Chris help me to get back on the boat.

"While you still fishing, we could go to the beach," JJ says.

Everyone agrees, so we go back to the coast. I get down, followed by JJ and Hope, Jaeden, Emily, Oliver, Desiree and Lacey, Joy and Zoe, Kate, Meg, Penelope.

"We'll let you one car, you're okay with that?" Joy asks.

"Of course!" They answer.

I get in the first SUV with JJ, Hope, Jaeden, Emily, Oliver. In the other SUV, there are Desiree, Lacey, Joy, Zoe, Kate, Meg, and Penelope. Then we all head to the beach.

Penelope Garcia's POV

We just arrived at the beach. We're all in the water, playing with the kids, except Emily and JJ who stayed on the beach. Zoe and Lacey are experiencing the sea for the first time and they are so cute! Hope comes and takes me by the hand because she wants me to follow her, so I follow her.

Emily Prentiss' POV

While I'm putting sunscreen on my belly, I noticed that JJ is pretty pale, she seems sick.

"JJ, are you okay?"

She turns to me.

"I'm fine," she smiles.

She then continues to stare at the sea, putting her sunglasses on. So I do the same. 

One hour later, I turn to JJ and I notice that she has a lot of blood on her bandage and it starts to flow down.

"JJ? Are you okay? You're bleeding. JJ?!"

I get up and I shake her a little bit, then I take off her sunglasses. Her eyes are closed and her pulse is weak.

"Spencer! There's something wrong with JJ!" I yell.

Spencer looks at me and runs to me.

"What's wrong?" He declares, panicked.

"I don't know! We were chilling and I noticed the blood and..." I start to cry.

The others finally arrive. I let myself fall into Penelope's arms.

"We need to call an ambulance!" Spencer yells.

But there's no signal here. Spencer holds JJ and carries her cold body to the car.

"I'm going to the hospital."

Jennifer Jareau's POV

What happened? Why is it dark? Why don't I feel alive anymore? Did I die? How did that happen? My wound... I should've worried about it... I must've bled to death. I feel so weak... But my kids! I have to fight for them! They already almost lost me too many times. I cannot let this happen again.

"C'mon, JJ. Stay with me. You have to fight. It's all my fault... I should've worried about your wound..."

Is it Spence that I'm hearing? If I'm hearing him, it means I'm not dead yet. I have to fight. But I feel so powerless...

I cannot feel the time anymore... But I have to do it. I have to open my eyes. C'mon JJ. You can do it, you have the strength to do it. C'mon.

I'm dazzled by the bright light. But when my eyes are used to the light, I can see Spencer, sleeping with the kids in the little sofa of the room.

I moan a bit as I sit straight up. It wakes Spencer up.

"Jennifer, you're up," he sighs, relieved.

I weakly nod. He places the kids on the sofa without waking them up.

"How're you feeling?"

"Weird... What happened?"

"Your stitches broke and you lost a lot of blood."

"What time is it?"

"6am. You've been here 16 hours. The team's supposed to arrive soon to pick us up so we can go back home. And you'll need to rest, for real. Derek's gonna drive. But for now, I'll help you to dress up okay?"

I nod and I let Spencer dress me.
