A/N; before you start reading this story you should know I'm from Europe and Englisch ain't my first language, I try as best to get by grammar and spelling right but it doesn't always work out. So if anyone has the time to beta for me that would be so great, or if any one knows a good beta? Just PM me please! And have fun reading ;D
A/N II; Will won't be around for JJ anymore in this story. I guess I never really liked Will and it really comes in handy for the story line.
Chapter 1;
17th of March
2010
Four weeks, it had been four weeks since Valentine's Day. Four weeks since the night of her life.
Emily Prentiss sat across her desk, trying to concentrate on the paperwork in front of her, but all she could think of was how tired she was. And it didn't help that flashbacks of Valentine's Day (well night, if she thought about it) came rushing back to her every three minutes.
"Em, are you Ok?" Emily got shaken out of her thoughts as her blonde colleague spoke.
"Yeah sure, why wouldn't I?" lie, if she would be honest, she'd have to say that she'd been feeling sick for a couple of day's now. But if she was what she suspected she was, than she wasn't going to admit it to herself.
"Well for a start, you look paler than you normally look and in the three hours you've been sitting at my desk you haven't written more than three words"
Emily chuckled "You've been spending too much time with profilers, Jareau"
JJ smiled "Well, are you going to tell me how you really feel?"
Emily sighed "Just tired Jayje, nothing to worry about."
"Are you sure? Because you've been acting a little out these last days" JJ looked at her best friend with a worried look.
Emily took a deep breath 'well, what the hell' she thought 'what does it matter if I told one person' "Jayje?" she nervously started.
"Yeah?" JJ dropped her pen back to her desk.
"Were you often tired during your pregnancy?" Emily bit her lower lip and JJ's sharp intake of breath wasn't very encouraging either.
"Well…" JJ thought for a moment "I was at the beginning." She sat there watching Emily "something you want to tell me?"
Emily looked up "do you remember I told you about Valentine's night?"
'Oh yeah do I remember' JJ thought "yeah, what about it?"
"Well" Emily blushed a little "I don't think we used birth control"
JJ gasped as she put one and one together "Emily you don't think you're…" she trailed off.
"I'm not sure yet" Emily bit her lip again "I don't really want to know"
They sat in silence for a while and just as JJ was going to say something her phone started beeping. "Hang on for a second" she said to Emily.
"Jareau" Emily watched as JJ's face got covered by her professional mask "we'll call you back in an hour with more details"
JJ turned back to Emily "we'll talk about this later" it wasn't a question, it was a statement. No way was JJ going to let this go.
Conference room;
"Michael Rigsby. 38 year old male. Abducted four women in two weeks, by the time local police found the man three of them were already dead."
"So if they already caught the man, why are we called in?" Morgan reached for the coffee in the middle of the table, after a shit load of paperwork coffee was the only thing that worked.
"We won't be flying in, but they need our help on the profile. Rigsby has recently admitted that he's got another woman, held in some storage locker of which he won't give the location."
"Are they sure he's telling the truth?"
"Yes, Rigsby told the police they could find photo's in his old apartment, and they did. They need us to make a list of environments where he could possibly be holding another woman"
"He keeps one woman a part" Emily said "why?"
"She's the most important to him, maybe he knows her, or she looks like someone he knew." Morgan tried to think straight but the coffee wasn't doing its usual good work.
"People tend to keep the people they see as important close so they can see them as much as possible." Reid said "so he probably is keeping her somewhere close to his apartment or job"
"Why did he abduct the first three women?"
JJ searched through the file "he told the police that he wanted to see if he could get away with it." She said.
"That's probably a lie" Hotch said "something must have triggered him and I guess we'll know what if we find the other woman"
Prentiss residence;
"This is definitely the worst part"
The team had finished the case and they'd been right. The last woman had been his high school sweet heart and Rigsby had been getting urges to kill woman right after she had broke up with him. He'd kept her in a storage locker a few blocks from where he worked.
So right after they could go home, Emily and JJ had dropped by the pharmacy to get a test.
"Which one should we take?" Emily asked.
"I don't know, do I look like I take these things a lot?" JJ had laughed.
"Well, you're the one who's been pregnant before"
"Yeah, and I found out when I went for my check up at the doctor. So I don't know which one to take"
So they'd just chosen a couple. And now they were sitting in Emily's bathroom waiting for the results to come back.
"This is definitely the worst part" Emily said "the waiting"
"Just promise me that you won't start banging your head against a wall if you're pregnant"
"You banged your head against a wall when you found out? Poor doctors" Emily was glad she hadn't been there, an angry JJ was far worse than any unsub they'd dealt with.
"No" JJ said "I smiled politely, went home and banged my head against a wall."
"Ouch" Emily flinched as the test beeped "guess we'll find out now" she said and hesitated to pick up the test.
"You want me to look first?" JJ asked knowing that this wasn't exactly the greatest part of pregnancy.
Emily nodded.
"Ok" JJ stood from the edge of the bathtub and reached for the test.
"You can start banging your head now" she said after a moment "because we're going to have another member on the team"
Emily sighed but she stayed pretty calm.
JJ sat back next to her as she saw Emily looking down to the ground and took her hand. "You've always wanted a baby" she whispered.
"Yes, but not like this. I want a baby with someone who loves me, not with someone who just lost his wife and isn't really waiting on a one-night-stand-baby"
"Em, you know Hotch will take responsibility. And you've got the whole BAU family behind you"
As more tears started to run down Emily's cheeks JJ pulled her into a hug.
'This is not good' she thought, because the Emily she knew almost never cried.
Up next; Explanation of the Valentine's night. Emily tries to find the courage to tell Aaron, doctor's (Gyno) appointment. And the next chapter will be longer, I've already got it written out and finished op to chapter three, so if you want the next chapter drop a line! Tell me what you think, and if you've advice or tips on my way of writing, let me know! Anyone know a good beta? Or anyone who's a good beta and has the time to beta for me?
