A/N So this is it! my last chapter *wipes away tear*. i hope you've had as much fun reading it as i have writing it.


It took a bit of time and a lot of soft gentle words but Emily did eventually manage to calm JJ.

Emily was sitting back on the bed and JJ was lying down next to her with her blonde head resting on Emily's jean covered leg. They were both just quietly thinking when JJ whispered.

"Do they hate me?"

Emily stopped running her fingers through JJ's hair shocked.

"What?"

"The team, do they hate me?"

"Why would they hate you Jayje?"

"Because I lied to them, I didn't tell them about the baby." JJ sat up wincing slightly.

"No Jayje. They don't hate you." Emily noticed the pain expression on JJ's face "You ok?" Emily sat up more alert.

"I'm fine."

"You don't look fine, you look like you in pain."

"They meds are wearing on, my chest and stomach hurt." JJ winced more and held on to her stomach "The doctor said it will be sore for a few days."

The cramps in her stomach were going from a dull ache to the sharp stabbing/cramping pain she had at the beginning.

Emily's phone starting ringing in her pocket making JJ jump out of her skin and look round panicked.

"It's ok Jayje it's just me…" Emily put a reassuring hand on JJ's shoulder as she answered her phone "Prentiss…Hang on for me" Emily turned to JJ "Its Hotch, he wants to talk to me; I'll be right outside the door. Is that ok?"

JJ thought for a second. On one hand she felt safe when Emily was round and she seemed to make things better for a little but on the other JJ hated depending on someone and the fact that she was taking up Emily's free time. Emily Had told JJ that she would rather be there for her than not the same as the rest of the team but it wasn't the point. JJ hated seeming too weak to look after herself.

"Sure." JJ gave Emily a tight smile.

"Ok." Emily put the phone to her ear "I'll be right out." Emily got of the bed and let go of JJ's hand that she didn't realise she was still holding "I'll be right back."

Emily walked out the door to see not only Hotch standing there but the rest of the team too.

"How is she?" Garcia asked worried.

"erm…" Emily looked back at the door she came through wondering if she should tell them the truth of just sugar coat it but seeing as most of them were profilers and the other was one of her best friends she knew they could tell if she was lying "She's upset, scared, angry, the pain meds are starting to wear off so she's hurting, and I don't know how to help her." Emily sighed.

"Can we see her?" Reid asked finding his shoes very interesting.

"I don't know…She's scared that you all hate her and your all mad at her for not talking to you…" Emily continued as Garcia was about to argue "I know you don't think or feel any of those things but its what that bastard did to her head Pen.."

"She needs to realise that we would never hate her no matter what." Rossi said in his deep voice.

"Will you ask her princess?"

"Sure…" Emily walked back into JJ's room.

JJ was curled up on the bed with a far away look in her eyes.

"Jayje…" JJ jumped when Emily called her name from the door way "Sorry I didn't meant to scare you. Are you sure you don't want any more pain meds, I'll go find the doctor." Emily sat on the bed.

"No, I'm ok. What did Hotch want?" JJ asked

"They were wondering if you're ok and if they could come in and see you…" Emily said with caution. She saw the panic in JJ's eyes.

"I…I'm n…not…" JJ started shaking slightly.

"Jayje, its ok, they don't hate you. Their worried about you, we all are."

"Really?" JJ sniffed still not sure.

"Really, can I go get them?"

JJ didn't say anything just sat up slowly and nodded. Emily gave JJ a comforting and reassuring smile and went to the door.

She wanted to see them she really did. JJ loved the team and saw them as her family especially after the last year and a half but she still had the feeling in the pit of her stomach that if she did something wrong they would abandon her like everyone else and she didn't know if she could deal with that hurt.

There was a gentle knock on the door and Emily walked in and went to sit in one of the chairs by JJ's bed closely followed by a cautious looking Garcia and Reid then Morgan, Hotch and lastly Rossi who closed the door behind him. They all stood there waiting for JJ's reaction wither it be good or bad.

JJ gave them a small tight smile waiting for one of them to say something.

"How you doing Bella." JJ warmed slightly when Rossi used that name for her.

"I'm sorry…" JJ whispered as her eyes filled once again with tears.

"You have nothing to be sorry for JJ."

"I do… I should have told you, should have said about the baby but I was scared you would hate me if I got rid of it and then I was scared you would hate me if I kept it too and now I don't have the chance because its gone my babies gone because I didn't fight hard enough again and…"

"JJ stop…" Rossi moved out of the group still standing by the door and went to sit on the edge of the bed taking her hands in his. He was getting worried about the blonde again as she was starting to hyperventilate and panic "Take some deep breaths you're starting to panic…" She did as she was told "Now you listen to me Bella. None of this is any of your fault." JJ went to argue with the profiling legend "No. It's not your fault. Walt hurt you when you were a child and he has kept doing it ever since. He preyed on you because he knew you were too small to fight back and then you became too scared of him and what he would do to you or your sister. Ok? You couldn't stop him it was his choice. Not yours. You did what you had to do to survive." Tears slid down JJ's cheeks as well as Garcia's and Emily's.

"Sorry…" JJ wiped away her tears but Rossi grabbed her wrists and stopped her.

"And stop saying sorry. It's ok to cry and to be hurting. Your baby was taken away from you by someone that wanted to hurt you like your step father." He sighed hating how much JJ was hurting again "You were going to keep it weren't you" it was more of a statement than a question.

"Yeah…" JJ whispered looking down at her lap confirming what Rossi and silently Hotch thought "It wasn't until today at the thought of loosing it that I realised I did want the baby. It was my baby" a single tear slid from her eye.

Hotch, Morgan, Reid and Garcia made them self's comfy round the room knowing JJ wasn't going to kick them out now.

"I thought that maybe something good could come out of this whole nightmare but now that's gone too." JJ sobbed the last word and Rossi pulled her into a tight hug hoping he wouldn't hurt her but knowing she needed to be healed and comforted.

"You know JJ" Hotch said after a few minutes of Rossi holding JJ. She looked up and over to her boss "If it will make you feel better we forgive you…" Hotch smiled when he saw relief fills JJ's eyes.

"But…" Garcia put her hand on JJ's back "There isn't really anything to forgive."

"Thankyou." JJ smiled "All of you, I don't think I would have been able to do any of this with out all of you."

"Anytime princess." Morgan smiled at JJ.

The conversation changed to more of a happy talk about Jack and what they were going to do the next weekend when they all had time off. They all agreed that if the weather was nice they would go to Rossi's beach house and spend some time together.

"Guys shhhh" Emily said as they all started laughing. They all turned to see JJ sleeping with her head rested on Rossi's shoulder with a slight smile on her face.

Maybe just maybe they had saved the woman they saw as a daughter or sister. Maybe with a little time she could be the woman they used to know again.
