Chapter 13

It didn't take them too long after the attack on both agents to find the unsub. Once he was in custody and that he confessed all the murders he was so proud of, Emily got back to the hospital with the rest of the team. They let her go and see JJ first, they laft her some privacy and went to grab a coffee and see Garcia and Reid. The brunette sat in the chair just next to the bed JJ was lying on and took her hand in hers. Before entering the room, she had locked her emotions in one of her compartmentalisation box, but at the sight of her girlfriend so pale, so fragile, her feelings were too strong and she cried herself out. After about half an hour, Emily had calmed down and pressed a kiss on JJ's forhead. She sat back and started talking words on confort and love to her.

"I love you so much, Jennifer. Even in the hospital you're still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in my entire life. We're not together for a real long time, but I feel like it's been forever, and I want to keep it that way," she took a deep, calming breath, "I want to spend the rest of my life you. I'll give everything I have to switch our places...Okay, maybe not everything because otherwise you very well might kill me." She smiled slightly while looking deeply at the blonde, who still hadn't move. "I love you, I always will. You have to come back to me, to us, just to prove us that there was nothing to worry about, that you're indeed the strongest woman I know. We miss you, Jennifer. I miss your beautiful blue eyes, your smile, your laugh..." Emily stopped and brushed some blonde hair away from JJ's face. She leaned forward and kissed her gently on the lips, hoping above hope that something would happen, like in every fairy tail. But it wasn't a fairy tail. It was the real world, with real tragedy. She slowly stood up and talked a few more words to the blonde.

"I'm gonna go...Don't worry, you won't be alone, the rest of the team's here and they're waiting to see you. I'll take a coffee, and I'll be right back, okay?" JJ remained motionless. Her heart broken, Emily walked toward the door.


"Em?"

She stopped dead in her tracks. She couldn't have heard right, could she? She waited for a sign, anything, but she couldn't turn around. She just couldn't stand it if her mind was playing some trick.

"Emily?" This time she was sure she had heard the most amazing sound in the whole world. It was a soft voice, a whisper really. But it was there. And for the brunette, it was all that mattered. She spined around and she felt her legs about to give up under her.

Staring back at her were those crystal blue eyes she dreamed of, although they were a little foggy from the pain and the medication JJ was currently on. New tears found their way and she didn't even try to stop them. She was just too happy right now. She almost ran to the bed and took the younger profiler's hand in both her own. She raised their joined hands and kissed the blonde's.

"Hey there, Sleeping beauty." She smiled at her and kissed her hand once more.

"Hey." JJ had a small voice, a little hoarse. "Don't cry Em, I'm here and I'm not going anywhere. Please don't cry." She pleaded and looked at her surroundings, trying to remember what had led her here. "What happened? Where are we?" She tried to sat up but a strong wave of pain shot through her body, "Ugh, damn it, it hurts."

"Easy Jen, just lay down. I'll call the doctor." She pressed the button to the nurse station and helped her girlfriend to settle back down on the bed.

"What happened? The last thing I can remember is us going to interview some witness?" JJ asked again.

"Jen... you were shot. We were on our way back and the unsub shot you in the abdomen." While the doctor came in to assess her vitals, Emily told her every thing that had happened since their visit to Sinclair.

Before he left, the doctor told them that he had great hopes in JJ's total recovery if she rested a lot. He was quite surprised that she awoke in such a good condition, cosidering the alternative.


Not long later, the rest of the team joined them and the blonde was quick to reassure them that she was mostly okay and that she wasn't planning on getting shot anytime soon. But more importantly to her, they said that she could fly back in a week and she couldn't wait to go back home.

They had talked a lot about that with Emily. Home. They both wanted to move in together. What happened in Oregon was a close call, very close, and they didn't want to waist any more time. They both knew they were in love with each other so they decided to move in together as soon as JJ would be able to do so. Her recovery time would give them plenty of time to look at a new house to buy. JJ's old one was a little to small, and Emily wanted something more cosy than hers.

The team helped them get settled and every one was more than happy to see that Strauss wouldn't interfere in their work or relationship. They suspected Rossi to have done some thing to her, but no one would go and ask him, it was a good thing, no matter how it happened. Shortly after they have move in, and when JJ was back at work on desk duty, both women announced that they were engaged and the wedding was planned as soon as possible. Garcia managed to prepare one of the most beautifule wedding of the century, her words. The couple was in a bless and didn't think they could ever be more happier.

They were proved wrong when six months after her injury, JJ was back at the BAU at a 100%, only to get back on desk duty two months later when her IVF worked. The whole team was thrilled and they all welcome into their family the beautiful baby boy Henry Jareau-Prentiss.

After all, maybe fairy tails do exist...
