"Joshua is nowhere near as slick as his father at causing pain, but he still managed it. Victor couldn't take any more and he told them to stop. Told them to hurt me. Luckily that was when Michael decided to barge in and save the day, or I don't think-" JJ got quiet, but she wrapped her arms protectively around her belly, so the point was pretty clear. If the demons had tortured her, Victoria likely would have died before ever living.
