Chapter 2;

19thth of March

2010

Two days, it had been two days since she'd found out that she was pregnant. And she still hadn't told Aaron.

They'd had one night of comfort, one night of hot damn sex.

After the BAU's yearly valentine's party they'd both been a bit drunk. They'd taken a cab together, and before they really realized what they were doing, they were making out in her hallway.

The next day they'd both agreed that it couldn't happen again. It wasn't a mistake, they'd both rather enjoyed it, but it just couldn't happen again.

But now it would be hard to ignore, hard to forget it ever happened. And Emily had decided that it wouldn't do Aaron any good if she told him now.

Not that she'd thought of any time that would be the right time to tell him but that didn't really matter, or at least that's what Emily had decided.

But Aaron wasn't dumb. He'd noticed her change in behavior and the way her
breasts seemed to get a bit swollen, yes he'd paid attention to that. He'd
had his suspicions but he couldn't out of the blue just ask, could he?

"Hotch" Aaron startled at the sudden voice "the media wants some details on the McGregory case" he heard there media liaison say "Any details you want me to hold back?"

"I'll be out in a minute" he said 'I've got to get my focus back'

He wanted nothing more than to just ask. He wanted to know if he was going to be a father again. After that one night, he'd tried not to think about it, but the memories came flashing back to him more than often. If he had to be honest, he kind of hoped Emily would be pregnant.

Bullpen

"Prentiss?" Emily looked up from her computer. The Bullpen was empty except from her. After they finished up there latest case everyone had been eager to head home.

"Can I talk to you for a sec?"

Emily watched as her boss-friend-father of her child walked back to his office expecting her to follow him. So she did as she was told.

"Yes?" she said as she closed his door behind her.

"Have a seat" as Hotch saw her sitting down he tried to think of the best way to ask her. "Emily, are you pregnant?" and out of the blue it was. He wanted to hit himself right now; this was not the best way to ask.

Emily opened her mouth and closed it again, than just nodded.

They sat in silence for a while, Hotch trying to get a grip on his thoughts and Emily waiting on Hotch to react. Finally she took lead.

"Hotch" Hotch noticed how she was back at the professional 'Hotch' again. "Before you say anything" he heard her say "I just want you to know that I don't expect anything from you, I'd understand if you couldn't handle this right now and you don't have to decide right now what you want to do. You can take all the time you need"

Hotch was thrown back by this, he'd thought of many ways to handle this situation but chicken out on her definitely wasn't one of them. "No" plain, simple. "I won't step back out of this, Emily. Agreed, it's not the best time, but would it ever be? I'm halve responsible for this and I won't walk away from it"

Emily was squealing of happiness on the inside and she could hardly suppress the grin that was threatening to adorn her face. 'But this doesn't means he will be mine full time' she thought not wanting to make herself happy with nothing.

"Ok" she simply said.

"So, is the baby healthy?" Hotch asked, a warm feeling filling his stomach. It might not be the perfect time but that didn't meant he couldn't be happy about this.

"Well, I only found out two days ago, But I have a doctor's appointment tomorrow afternoon" Emily wanted to ask him to go with her, but didn't know if he would appreciate it. He might be happy with this, but that didn't meant he wanted to be a part of everything, as much as she would like him to be.

"You mind if I join you?" Hotch held his breath. He might be happy with this, but that didn't mean that Emily wanted him to be a part of everything. And after all, it was up to her to decide.

Emily let go of the breath she didn't ever realized she was holding "No" she smiled "I wouldn't mind at all"

'Tomorrow was Saturday' Hotch thought 'it would be perfect if we wouldn't get a call' He nodded "what time is your appointment?" he asked, trying not to sound too excited.

"Two: thirty" Emily said 'oh my god, is he really coming?' she thought. She couldn't help the family feeling filling her stomach.

"Should I pick you up than?" Hotch asked. Knowing she very much appreciated her independency he let her make the call.

"Ok, that's fine with me" Emily said as she stood from her chair. "See you tomorrow than, Aaron"

Hotch smiled. 'And back to personal 'Aaron' ' he thought.

20thth of March

2010

One day, it had been one day since the talk she had with Aaron. And she pretty much hadn't stopped thinking about it. There was still so much they had to consider, the team, the bureau. Because after all, baby or no baby, he still was her boss. And thanks to David Rossi, the bureau was very fond of their fraternization rule.

But right now there wasn't even a relationship between them, yet. So she just wanted to go to this appointment with Hotch, bureau be damned. All she could do was hope that Aaron Hotcher thought the same way about it.

Of course there were the gossips to consider. People will think she got where she is now on her back except with her brains. Just like they thought she got where she was because of her mother. She would look like she trapped Hotch into this. But then again, maybe she did. There was no way of knowing if there would have been a next step without the baby. But right now she didn't care. Damn the bureau, damn the gossips, damn everyone else.

"Emily?" she startled as she heard Hotch coming through the front door. "I used my key, hope you don't mind?"

"No of course not" she smiled. Hotch was wearing a jeans, just like her, and she couldn't help but like this new Hotch. "Shall we go then?"

Gynecologist examination room;

"Well, your baby's healthy, longs are developing right. You're about one month along, but your uterus lays a bit back in your belly. So, as a shame as it is, you won't have a really big baby bump."

Emily smiled up at the gynecologist. She was happy their, Hotch's and her, baby was healthy, and that she wouldn't get a huge baby bump. It wasn't that she minded the extra weight, but pregnant woman mostly were labeled weak, an exception on JJ, and in her line of work that was something she didn´t wanted to happen.

"However" the gynecologist continued the talking and the echo "you have a little noise in your heart"

Emily wondered why she had checked her heart, but she suspected it had something to do with her mother, since she and the gynecologist were long time friends. And Emily rarely went to the doctor.

She'd boldly told her mother over the phone.

"Elisabeth Prentiss" that professional tone, Emily never understood why her mother used it on her, didn't she have Caller ID?

"Hello mother" she'd decided to go for the cheeky way "I need to talk to you"

"Is everything alright?" still that professional tone.

"Well there is one thing, I'm pregnant" she heard her mother choke on her drink and quickly went on before she could answer "I've got an appointment with Allison tomorrow. We can talk about it during dinner next week" Quick, surprising, efficient.

"What... how… who?" a speechless Elizabeth Prentiss 'I've got to do this more often' Emily had thought.

"Yes mother, next week. Bye mother"

"I just would like to do some tests if that's alright with you?" Emily was shaken out of her thoughts as Allison spoke again. She looked at Aaron, who had just been grinning but who now looked worried.

"Sure" she said "What kind of tests?"

"If everything is alright, just a scan" Allison smiled "follow me"

"wait a minute" Hotch interrupted "What if there is something wrong?"

"it wouldn't be anything serious, but just to be sure we'll do a couple more test and then it would depend on the results."

"Ok." Hotch sighed. He saw Emily showing a little irritation. 'time to back of' he thought. "I'll see you in while" he said "I'm just going to grab some coffee, you want some?"

Emily smiled, he was being sweet but the thought of coffee was making her want to throw up, a ´nice´ side effect of pregnancy. "no I'm fine" she said "I'll see you back here?"

Hotch nodded and made his way back out of the building.

"with his and your genes, this is going to be some handsome baby" Allison smiled "you're ready for a scan?"

Emily nodded 'let's just get this over with'

*.*.*.*.*

"Is Emily Prentiss finished yet?" Hotch stood in front of the reception, he'd already finished three cups of coffee and this was about his seventh time he'd asked about Emily.

"No sir, not yet" Hotch saw how the woman was getting irritated and he was just wondering how he got so much woman irritated today when he saw Emily come out of the doctor's office.

He smiled nervously, he felt like a teenager again. And it was a feeling he'd rarely gotten. "Hay"

"Hello" Emily smiled "No more tests"

Hotch let go of the breath he was very consciously holding "good"

"I just need to fill in some papers and then we can get out of here"

"Ok, I'll wait for you in the car" Hotch turned around and walked to the door.

"Thank god you're okay." Emily heard the receptionist say as she filled in the papers.

"Excuse me?"

"He already worried sick about you now; I wouldn't want to experience what he would be like when you would really be sick."

Emily patiently smiled, political training kicking in again; she hated people who minded business they really didn't know anything about.

As she was finished she made her way back to the car. "He" she said as she sat back in her seat.

"Hello, so now problems with your heart?"

"Nope, just a strong heart they said"

"Good" Hotch was truly relieved that she was okay, he wasn't about to see another loved one suffer. "What are you smiling at?" he chuckled, something he rarely did, as he saw Emily smile in a way that made him go weak.

"Nothing" she said "Just glad everything's alright"

"Me too" Hotch nodded as he pulled out of the parking lot.

'God do I love those dimples' Emily thought as she looked at Hotch smiling. She'd just realized that Hotch did cared. This wasn't just about the baby and she could see it in his eyes. They way he looked at her, so worried and so adorable, that wasn't just because she carried his child. And knowing that would make this whole thing a lot easier on her.

Up next; tough case involving toddlers, Hotch realized that he doesn't just wants to stand on the side walk with Emily, Hotch has a talk with Jack, Emily tells Garcia about the whole thing, Hotch and Emily talk again. A fluff moment… And chapter three will be even longer than chapter two! ;]

A/N II; I've already got chapter three typed out, but it might take me a while to upload it because I want to have chapter four finished before I upload again. Just to make sure I stay one chapter ahead of the story, because otherwise I'll probably be way to lousy in uploading!

A/N III; I've put a poll on my profile about this story, you get to decide the sex of Emily's and Hotch's baby! Check it out.
