Where it all began

Exclamation Point

(Elle's POV)

"What the fuck was that?" I asked as we heard the scream again.

"I don't know!" Derek shrieked. "I'm going to go check out the situation." He said as he holstered his gun. "Stay a safe distance behind me... I'd tell you not to come but I know you won't listen."

We walked out of the room cautiously making our way towards the front door. Morgan stuck out his hand to stop me from coming any closer when we saw the sight in front of us. Emily was slowly backing away from Will who was holding a figure that looked to be JJ.

"Why are you here?" Derek questioned.

"Well you see I had my time with Emily and JJ is here... I need the full set." Will sneered. Derek motioned for me to move out of the line of fire and I obviously did so pulling out my phone once I was out of sight. I shot Hotch and Rossi a quick text about the situation. Not even moments later Emily was sitting by my side.

"This really sucks." She said slowly. I nodded my head slowly. I felt my body start to tremble and my head started spinning. I couldn't breathe. I couldn't think. All I could think about was dying. Dying and disappointing everyone. My throat felt like it was getting tighter and tighter by the second. My head kept spinning and spinning and I thought I was going to pass out. I looked at Emily with wide eyes. Every other time I had had an anxiety attack Derek had been there and he had held me tightly in his arms. He pulled my hair back if it had got to the point of throwing up. Now I couldn't ask him to let JJ die just because I couldn't handle life. Emily wrapped her arms around my shoulders attempting to comfort me as I attempted to stimulate my breathing. Around 15 minutes passed and my state of panic was starting to decline. I felt Emily let go of me and Dereks strong arms replace hers. This is how it usually went. Ten minutes later I heard Rossi and Hotch trying to negotiate with Will.

(Rossi's POV)

"William, I thought you cared about Jennifer." I used the name Jennifer to disassociate JJ from the situation. "Holding her at gunpoint doesn't help anything. If you would have just stayed in prison we may have been able to negotiate something." I lied. The charges he was in for were non-negotiable.

"Trying to kill three pregnant women isn't getting you anywhere." Aaron added. Will pushed the gun farther into JJ's temple and I knew we weren't getting anywhere. But we couldn't let her die. At this point Will was turned with his back to the open door and I got an idea. It was extremely far fetched but it might work. I saw Derek, Emily and Elle through the picture window that looked into the living room. Once I made eye contact with Derek a made a few motions with my hands that I knew Morgan would understand. That sent Will into an expected frenzy. He first shot me in the foot. Which hurt. Then Aaron got it in the shoulder and my plan was perfectly executed before he could kill JJ. Emily and Elle came up from behind each grabbing on of his arms and proceeding to handcuff him. You may ask why I didn't just have Derek do it. But the girls had lighter footsteps.

As I felt the blood pour from my foot I thought about Alex at home. We had been eating lunch when I got the call. I told her I could've just called Spencer but she pointed out the fact that him and JJ weren't on good terms and Will would probably kill Spencer if he got the chance. Everything went fuzzy as I was loaded into the ambulance.

(Spencer's POV)
I intently watched what was going on next door as I stayed with all the kids. My heart hurt for all of them. From what I could see. Elle had an anxiety attack, JJ was held at gunpoint and both Hotch and Rossi were shot. I had called JJ earlier in the day and she had yelled a lot. Mostly directed towards me but she took some jabs at Emily and Hotch. Sean was still here. We ate crackers together. He wasn't half bad. I heard a knock at the door. It was JJ.

"I want too see Henry." She stated plainly.

"As you should." I replied. "He's in there watching cartoons with Natalia... maybe don't insult her as much to her face as you do on the phone." Her face went bright red.

"I'm sor-" she started.

"Save it. Just don't be rude to the kid." She nodded seemingly embarrassed. I followed behind her to watch her interaction with the kids. Normally I wouldn't question it but she seemed to have a deep
unexplainable hatred for the four year old that is Natalia. Everything went fine. I got a call from the hospital that both Hotch and Rossi were in stable condition.

"So." JJ said to me after the kids were asleep.

"So." I replied slightly annoyed.

"I'm sorry." She said shocking me.

"It is what it is."

"No it's not. You took responsibility when you had to and I should have respected that. I was mad a Hotch and Emily for letting you stay here. I didn't even try to talk to Henry. I messed up."

"Yeah you did. What was your problem with Natalia anyway. You don't even know her. She's four. What threat does she pose." She pushes her long golden hair behind her ear.

"I don't know. She's a nice kid. She doesn't talk much though. I was being irrational and stupid."

"Yes you were and she hasn't said a word to anyone besides Emily since her mom died so I wouldn't count on her talking to us any time soon. "

"Why Emily?" She asked.

"She lost her mom. And Emily is a mother figure who happens to have the same color hair as Katie  did." JJ looked at her blonde hair.

"Do you think she'll ever talk to me?" She asked.

"I'm sure she will if you stick around." I answered.

"Can you forgive me?" She questioned.

Then we kissed and the rest of the night is history.
