A/N: I just had an idea for a new recurring character. Thought I'd share. I'm not really good with writing unsub plot lines- so please bare with me on that part. It also might seem a bit choppy-I just really don't want to fill in a lot. Also, Jeanne is pronounced Zhawn(think French).
Disclaimer: I don't own anything, with the exception of Jeanne.

Hotch, Reid, and Garcia are on a video call with Emily.
Reid: Emily, I know you don't have any plans on returning to the BAU full time. But we could really use your help. Just until Kate returns in May.
Garcia: It would help us so much having someone who already knows not just how the BAU works, but also knows our team.
Hotch: We could work around your work there at Interpol. We-
Emily: Guys! It's not so much that I don't want to help you out for a few months. But- I just. I don't know how much help I would be to you at this time.
Spencer: I-I don't understand. Emily, you know this job. You know us. The only reasons I can-Were you injured? Are you sick?-
Emily: (sighs) Spence- (her tell-exhale). I'm pregnant.
(Garcia squeals with excitement, Reid's jaw is slack, Hotch just raises his eybrows slightly)
Emily: I don't know how much help I'll be because, I can't support the team fully in the field.
Hotch: How far along are you?
Emily: 19 weeks.
[everyone is silent for a moment]
Hotch: We can still use you. We'll just make sure that you stay in the backseat. You can work alongside us for as long as you are able to. If we have to go a couple of weeks shorthanded, it's still better than a few months with someone who doesn't understand this team. [pause] What do you say?
Garcia is mouthing 'please'.
Emily: (exhales) Okay. I guess we can figure out how long I'll stay later. But plan on me arriving in a few days. I just need to sort things out here first.
Reid: You mean it?!
Garcia: YES!
Hotch: We'll see you in a few days. Call me back with details of your arrival- if you need anything.
Emily: I will.
