More Than A Feeling
Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds or NCIS, they're CBS brain child.
Summary: AU fic. Emily and Hotch are best friends. When Emily decides she wants to have a baby on her own she asks her friend NCIS Tony DiNozzo if she can use his sample that he donated years before, but what happens when her best friend Hotch falls for her and doesn't think this is a good idea?
A/N: No set timeline, but on CM's the Doyle drama didn't happen so Emily and JJ are there not Seavers'. On NCIS there's no EJ Barrett so all's clear on that end. Only a tiny tidbit of NCIS is in this story and it's mostly Tony with small cameos of a few NCIS characters.
Eda J. La Shan said "A new baby is like the beginning of all things- wonder, hope, a dream of possiblities.
Emily looked over at her best friend Hotch, and his son, Jack tossing a frisbee around and laughed when Jack caught the frisbee.
Emily enjoyed seeing Hotch relaxed away from the horrors that they see on the job, just happy to be with his son.
'This is what I want.' Emily thought 'A family, a child to laugh with.'
Emily smiled when she saw Jack run over to her and rush into her arms.
"Hey, little man." Emily said as Jack embraced her in a big hug than pulled away "Hungry?"
"Yeah." Jack said looking down at the sandwiches and chips.
"Hotch, lunch is ready." Emily called over to her friend and boss.
Hotch came over and smiled when he saw Jack sit on Emily's lap eating chips.
"Looks like someone's hungry." Hotch said seeing his son munch on the sandwich.
Emily chuckled at Hotch and handed him a sandwich, "Just eat."
Hotch enjoyed seeing his son relaxed with Emily, as he smiled at his two favorite people.
Hotch was aware his feelings for Emily were going beyond that of just best friends, have been so ever since the Foyet drama.
They had been friends, but even when he tried to push away the friendship after his attack, he realized what he felt for his brunette agent was more than friendship.
But as he looked at her and Jack talking, he knew she would never feel more than just friendship for him.
He knew she loved him, but not the way he loved her.
Emily walked into her apartment and thought back to her afternoon with Hotch and Jack, that's when she made her decision.
Emily wanted to have a baby all by herself.
'Well I'll need a donor, but I know the perfect candidate.' Emily thought 'Someone who already made a donation, years ago.'
Emily chuckled remembering her friend's reaction when he found out no one had used his contribution.
"Tony." Emily said laughingly 'Poor Tony DiNozzo.'
'If the prospective mother's had been given a picture of him, he'd been the popular choice.' Emily thought giggling.
'I'll ask Tony if it's cool if I could use his 'donation' even if I don't need his permission he should know.' Emily thought to herself 'It'd be the decent thing to do.'
Emily arrived on her lunch break the next day to her obgyn for a check up.
After the check up the doctor came back in with a smile.
The woman said "You're in excellent shape Emily. I see no reason for you not to successfully be inseminated and carry a child to term."
Emily smiled at her doctor and said "Thank you."
"I'll set up an appointment for you next Monday with a clinic, and you can choose a donor." The doctor said.
"I have a particular donor in mind who already made a donation along time ago." Emily said.
"Well I'll just need the donor's name to run through the database to see if there's any left." The doctor said pulling out a paper and pen.
"Anthony DiNozzo." Emily said smiling.
Emily walked up to the elevator of the BAU pulling out her cell phone to dial Tony.
Ziva sat in the bullpen ignoring Tony throwing paper wads at McGee and her.
When one landed on Ziva's desk she looked up and gave Tony a Gibbs glare and picked up a rubber band.
Tony looked at her with fear, he always hates it when she rubber bands him.
Tony felt relief when his cell phone rang and as he looked at the name that popped up on the caller id, he felt joy at seeing the name.
"DiNozzo." Tony said smiling at the voice on the other end, making Ziva watch and place her rubber band down.
"Hey, Tony." Emily said "Are you busy?"
"Not really, Em." Tony said getting up to walk behind the stairs. "What's up?"
"Do you think you could stop by my place for a chat?" Emily asked walking out of the elevator to her desk.
"Sure, Em." Tony said "Is everything alright?"
"Yeah, I just need to talk to you." Emily said.
Hotch walked through the bullpen smiling when he saw Emily.
"It's really kinda of important, Tony." Emily said.
Hotch frowned when he heard the urgency in her voice, 'She's talking to him.'
"Ok, I'll see you later on." Tony said spotting Gibbs coming. "Gibbs is coming, talk to you later."
Emily smiled and chuckled when she heard "Thank you boss."
Emily noticed Hotch staring at her and she smiled at him, which brought his heart fluttering.
Emily went back to her paperwork unaware that her best friend's feelings had changed for her.
All she was focused on was the fact that soon, she'd have a baby of her own, one that she wanted.
