JJ and Morgan both agreed never to talk about that night. The night where, after a really tough case, the team all went out for drinks and partying. The night where, both JJ and Morgan were drunk off their asses, and somehow, JJ refuses to think, they ended up at Morgan's apartment. The night they both through caution to the wind and had unprotected sex. But as she stood in her bathroom staring at the positive sign on the pregnancy test, she knew they were going to finally have to talk about it.
JJ had always been in love with Morgan. She had loved him from day one, but she was too afraid to admit her feelings. She didn't want to be another one of those girls he took home and left behind the next day. Garcia, the only one who knew how she felt, tried to get her to believe that Morgan wouldn't do that to her, but JJ wasn't convinced and kept her feelings for him buried inside until that day.
"Mommy I go' go potty," Henry called from outside the bathroom door.
JJ dropped the test in the trash and opened the door, "Come on sweetie. Sorry mommy was taking so long."
JJ smiled as she helped her two year old son use the bathroom. She will never forget the day she had met his father. They had gone to New Orleans for a case after Hurricane Katrina. She instantly fell for him. She thought it was probably because he wasn't Derek Morgan and off limits. She remembered calling him frightened out of her mind when she found out that she was pregnant, but Will calmed her down and moved to Quantico to be with her. However, and JJ thinks it had something to do with her job; she was unable to make it work between them. She remembered the day; Henry was only a year old, when he deliberately asked her to choose between him and her job. She had chosen her job, and Will moved back to New Orleans the next day. She didn't blame him one bit, but it made it harder on Henry since he didn't really understand why his daddy left.
She grinned as she lifted up her son so he could wash his hands and then they left the bathroom and she chased her son around the living room. Monday she would talk to Morgan, today, she was going to enjoy her time with her son.
~~~3/3~~~
By the time she was headed into work on Monday, JJ was nervous. She had no idea how she would tell Morgan about the baby, but she did have a slight idea of how he'd react once he found out. Morgan wasn't the type to settle down with a wife and kids. He had said so himself which is why, as she parked in the BAU parking lot, JJ decided she wouldn't tell him.
She smiled at the guard as she swiped her badge and headed up to the 6th floor. She was always glad to be the first one there and today she was extremely glad when she had to run to the bathroom to throw up the minute she walked into the bullpen. After taking care of business in the bathroom, she headed up to her office where she started to prepare for the day. She checked her email, and voicemail before going through the files on her desk went through to see if there were any seriously pressing ones.
JJ was heading back to her office after throwing up in the bathroom yet again when she passed by Garcia.
"Morning Pen," she said cheerfully as she started to walk to her office.
Penelope froze and shook her head, "Uh-uh, freeze sugar," she said walking over to JJ. "There's something different about you."
JJ chuckled, "What are you talking about?"
"What's who talking about?" Reid asked coming into the bullpen with Morgan.
Shit. JJ smiled, "Nothing," she said before hurrying to her office and shut the door behind her.
Morgan raised his eyebrow, "What was that about gorgeous?"
Garcia shrugged, "There's something going on with JJ. I can feel it."
Reid just shrugged and sat down to begin working on his unfinished files. Garcia sighed as she headed down to her office. She was determined to find out what was going on with her friend. Hotch was the next to come into the office followed by Rossi and Prentiss. Hotch took a look at JJ's closed door and turned to Morgan and Reid. Morgan shrugged.
"Don't look at me. She was acting funny when we walked in."
Hotch nodded and headed up the stairs and knocked on JJ's door, "JJ, are you alright?"
JJ opened the door and smiled, "Yeah, I'm fine Hotch," she said yawning.
Hotch frowned, "Rough night?"
JJ laughed, "Try rough weekend. Henry had me all over the place, but it was nice to finally be able to spend a weekend with him. I guess I'm just a little exhausted that's all."
"You sure? Morgan said you were acting a little funny."
JJ scoffed, "I'm fine Hotch. Morgan is just being stupid. I'm not acting funny," she said pushing past him and headed to the bathroom.
Hotch raised his eyebrows but shook his head and headed into his office.
~~~3/3~~~
JJ sighed as she leaned against the stall. She knew that her best bet was to try and avoid Morgan, but then she realized that if she avoided Morgan, then everyone, including him, would know something was up. She groaned banging her head on the door. She was doomed.
She opened the stall door just in time to see Garcia and Prentiss walk in the bathroom. She cleared her throat and went to the sink and washed her hands acting like nothing happened. She dried her hands and started to walk out of the bathroom when Garcia stopped her.
"JJ."
JJ slowly turned around, "Yes?"
"You're pregnant aren't you?" Garcia asked.
JJ frowned, "What makes you say that?"
Garcia chuckled, "I may not be a profiler but no one uses the bathroom three times in the span of two minutes."
"That doesn't mean anything!" JJ shouted. Prentiss put her hand on her friend's shoulder.
"Hey calm down. We're your friends remember? How far along are you?"
JJ didn't know how they managed to find out that she was pregnant but she blamed it on the fact that they were profilers, well Emily was anyway, and they had worked together for so long. She didn't know what to do or even what to say. She wrapped her arms protectively around her belly.
"You can't say anything. To anyone."
The girls both looked at each other and nodded. Neither of them wanted to ask the question they were so dying to know and they had a feeling JJ wouldn't give them that information anyway. The three girls walked out of the bathroom and back to their desks or offices. Morgan watched JJ and frowned.
Reid nudged him, "Morgan, when are you going to talk to her?"
"What are you talking about man?"
"About that night? You have to talk to her about it."
Morgan frowned, "I told you, we talked about it. That night meant nothing to us. It was a drunken mistake now drop it Reid."
Unbeknownst to Reid and Morgan, JJ heard them. She went into her office, shut the door and silently cried as she sat on the floor. She knew it. Morgan didn't have any feelings for her at all. This confirmed her decision not to tell him about the baby. He wouldn't care. She cleared her throat and stood up wiping her face. She walked down the hall to Hotch's office.
"Hotch?" she called quietly knocking on the door.
He held up a finger as he was on the phone but motioned for her to enter the room. He hung up the phone and looked at her, "Are you alright JJ?"
She shook her head, "I'm not feeling very well. I was going to head home if that's alright."
Hotch frowned looking at her before nodding, "Of course. It seems to be pretty slow today. Do you need a ride?"
JJ shook her head, "No. I'm good thanks."
"Feel better," Hotch nodded.
JJ left Hotch's office and walked out of the bullpen without a glance at Morgan and headed home. She didn't know what she would do once she got home but just that she couldn't stand to be their where she was near Morgan any longer. She decided that since Henry was at daycare she was going to make most of the day and pamper herself as best she could.
~~~3/3~~~
Morgan stared after JJ long after she left wondering what on earth was wrong. He knew something was wrong but he just couldn't figure out what and he was trying not to profile his friend.
Yeah what kind person has a one-night stand with his best friend?
Sue me, I was drunk.
That's no excuse. You wanted her and you made up that excuse. Now she can barely stand to look at you.
I never wanted her. It was a drunken mistake!
"Thunder God?"
Morgan looked up and saw Garcia standing there, "Hey mama, what's up?"
"When you get a moment I need to see you in my office," she said before walking away.
Morgan glanced at Reid who shrugged. He sighed as he headed down to Garcia's lair. He walked in cautiously and shut the door behind him.
"What?"
"When are you going to talk to JJ?"
Morgan groaned, "You're just as bad as Reid. I knew I should've never said anything. We talked about already. We agreed that it was just a stupid drunken mistake and that we'd never speak of it again."
"Derek, honey…"
"Penelope, leave it alone. I know what you're thinking and you're wrong. I don't. JJ is my friend, that's it. She's like a sister to me! This is why what happened was so stupid."
Garcia sighed, "I agree, it never should've happened but it did. Now you have to deal with the consequences of your actions."
"What consequences? What the hell are you talking about?" Morgan said irritably.
Garcia touched Morgan's cheek, "My sweet and delectable, but small minded friend, please go talk to JJ. Even if you think there's nothing to talk about, she really could use a friend about now."
Morgan stared at her. He knew she was up to something and it bothered him because he could never figure out what she was up to. He sighed and walked out of the office and back to his desk.
"What was that about?" Reid asked.
"I don't even fucking know," Morgan said opening a file.
