Hey guys sorry i haven't posted in awhile I've been crazy busy with school and on top of that training a horse so life's been a little hectic lately. Any way here is the next chapter if you would write a little review if you have the time i love reading them.
"A baby as in a tiny little human who is half you and half him" asked JJ sounding more like a 8 year old then a grown woman who had a child of her own.
"Yes JJ that's typically how it works I assumed you would know this having a child and all" teased Hotch.
"Did our stoic no nonsense boss just make a joke that's extremely unhotchley of you" said JJ making a comeback.
While JJ and Hotch bantered Reid turned to Emily who was busying her self with the impossible task of strapping a sleeping Jack into his car seat without waking him.
"Emily why didn't you tell us" he asked.
"We wanted to but you guys where so shocked that we were together that we wanted to give you time to adjust" she explained.
"Well I for one am glad that secrets out I don't know how long I could of gone without telling someone" said Garcia with relief evident in her voice.
"Baby girl you knew" asked Morgan shocked.
"The great almighty and powerful Garcia knows all" she answered earning a laugh from the team.
"Well we defiantly have to celebrate now. If only we had a understanding boss who was willing to give his hardworking team tomorrow off" suggested Rossi.
"I want to but Strauss is already on us" answered Hotch contemplating wether or not they could get a day off past Strauss.
"Well good thing I have a kind loving boyfriend who is eager to celebrate being a father again. So much in fact that he is willing to tell our boss to get over it and give his team a Saturday off" answered Emily.
"Is he well this boyfriend must be truly amazing" questioned Hotch.
"Of course he is I only date the best" answered Emily stepping closer to him.
"We'll then I'm sure I can talk to this boyfriend of yours and arrange something" smiled Hotch.
"it's settled then wine at my house" said Rossi putting and end to the couples flirting.
With a nod of agreement Hotch turned to walk to the drivers side of the car.
"Hey babe can I drive" asked Emily.
"Really you never let me drive your car" said Hotch.
"You never ask. Anyway in a few months you get to do all the driving I won't fit behind the steering wheel thanks to you" she countered.
Knowing there was no winning he handed over the keys before making his way to the passenger side. Morgan who along with the rest of the team had witnesses the entire scene coughed the word whipped in his direction.
"Hahaha" muttered Hotch.
Once the couple had drove off the team made there way towards their cars.
"That was weird for everyone else's to right" questioned Reid.
"What watching Emily and Hotch flirt like two love sick teenagers ya kid that will defiantly take some getting use to" answered Morgan.
"At least there happy" countered JJ.
"JJ's right their perfect for each other" answered Rossi.
"Not to mention Emily's the only one I've ever seen stand toe to toe with Hotch and win" pointed out Reid.
"Is it not obvious she has him wrapped around her finger" stated Morgan.
"Well we all know Emily will only use her powers for good" mentioned Garcia.
"Like getting us a day off" joked JJ.
"Well then why don't we stop standing in a cold parking lot talking and go celebrate at my place" suggested Rossi.
When the team reached Rossi they found Hotch pacing back and forth infront of the car obviously in a heated conversation with someone on the phone. After a few minutes of Hotch shaking his head, pacing and rubbing the bridge of his nose as though he had a headache he finally ended the call and put his phone back in his pocket.
"Sorry about that was just calling Strauss to let her know we wouldn't be coming in tomorrow" said Hotch approaching the group.
"I'm sure that went over well" mentioned Morgan sarcastically.
"Where's Emily" asked JJ noticing her friends absence.
"Looking through jacks overnight bag for pjs and looking through her bag something more comfortable" he answered.
It was true with Strauss's meeting the team had dressed more professional then they normally would and while it didn't bother the male members of the team who wore suits and could easily remove there jackets and loosen their ties. Emily was still in her 3 piece suit and JJ in her pencil skirt and blouse.
"I think I'm gonna do the same" said JJ jogging back to her car for a change of clothes.
When JJ returned along with Emily who was carrying Jack and their clothes. The team headed into Rossi's.
"You can lay Jack in the downstairs bedroom so we can hear him if he wakes up" offered Rossi.
With a nod of approval Emily and JJ walked off to change and put Jack down. The rest of the team headed towards the kitchen leaving Hotch and Rossi.
"Hopefully he sleeps through the night he's been going through this phase where he wakes up and wants to climb in bed with me and Emily" said Hotch confining in his best friend.
"O" questioned Rossi.
"Ya it doesn't bother me but I just wish Emily would get some rest" he answered.
"She hasn't been sleeping" asked Rossi concerned about the younger girl he consider a daughter.
"She tosses and turns in her sleep for a couple hours and by the time shes finally peaceful Jack comes in and wants to sleep with us" he sighed.
"I'm sure Emily's happy about that" mentioned Rossi. He had made the mistake of trying to wake her when the plane was about to land only to discover the Emily Prentiss liked her sleep.
"That's the thing Dave she so great about it. Every night when Jack comes in he always wants to lay next to Emily and she just snuggles him into her side, tucks the covers around them, and sings him back to sleep. It doesn't phase her the slightest or even upset her that she was woken up" explained Hotch.
"Wait Prentiss sings" asked Rossi.
"Really David that's what you get out of this conversation" sighed Hotch.
"Well think about it from my perspective which would you believe fist Emily's a natural born mom or Emily sings" he countered.
"You've got a point" admitted Hotch.
"If course I do" he retorted.
Meanwhile...
It hadn't taken Emily long to change Jack into his pjs the boy was exhausted and once being laid down was out cold. The entire time however JJ hadn't said a word.
"Ok spill" said Emily speaking up
"What" questioned JJ.
"Your my best friend I can tell when something's wrong with you" answered Emily.
"Are you sure because you didn't tell me about you and Hotch" remarked JJ coming clean about her feelings.
"JJ listen" started Emily.
"I am your best friend Emily, your best friend, do you know what that means that means that nothing not hell or high water or earthquakes or hurricanes or anything could come between us. You use to tell me everything and now I find out your living with someone helping to raise their child and pregnant. Did you not trust me or something" she asked hurt evident in her voice.
"O course I wanted to tell you we wanted to tell all of you"
"Then why didn't you" asked JJ
"I was scared ok. I love him JJ in a way that I can't even begin to explain because I don't understand it myself. I've never loved anyone the way I love Aaron, and if Strauss somehow found out we where together she would fire him. He loves his job and if I was the reason he couldn't work at the BAU anymore it would kill me. So I told him I wanted to keep it a secrete because if no one knew then Strauss couldn't fire him" confessed Emily crying for the third time that night.
"Emily I'm sorry I understand why you didn't tell us, and I have no right be upset that you tried to protect someone you love" said JJ hugging her best friend.
"Thanks, sorry about crying all over you I've been hormonal all week" admitted Emily.
"Emily you don't have to apologize to me about being hormonal ask Will about the time I cried because he bought crunchy peanut butter and not creamy" joked JJ
"Why doesn't that surprise me" joked Emily wiping her eyes "Why don't we hurry up and get dressed before someone comes looking for us" she suggested.
Both of them went about getting dressed they had changed in front of each other countless times on cases when they shared rooms and it didn't bother either of them. Both of the them had opted to wear work our clothes.
Emily changed into a pair of black need length leggings and a purple V-neck tee shirt. JJ also put on a leggings but instead of a tee shirt she put on a light blue running tank top.
It wasn't until Emily sat down to put on a pair of ankle socks that JJ noticed her bump. "Wow Emily when you said you where pregnant I didn't think you where far enough along to show" mentioned JJ.
"Sorry I didn't think to warn you that unless I'm in loose fitting blouses I show"
"How far along are you" asked JJ
"13 weeks" answered Emily.
"Wow I can't believe no one on the team noticed" mentioned JJ.
"I'm just glad you guys finally know"
"Speaking of team why don't we go join them" she offered
With one final goodnight kiss to Jack Emily followed JJ out of the room and flipped off the light.
Emily and JJ found the team standing around in the kitchen talking amongst themselves.
"I believe I was promised wine" said JJ walking in the direction of Rossi who was pouring her a glass.
"Did Jack go down easy" asked Hotch coming to Emily's side.
"He did" she answered.
"Emily do you want an ice tea or something" offered Rossi approaching the couple.
"A tea would be great" smiled Emily.
"Wow princess someones got a bump" mentioned Morgan noticing her stomach.
Blushing Emily placed her hand over over her stomach "Thanks".
"How far along are you" asked Morgan
"13 weeks"
"Well that explains why you haven't thrown a fit about working victimology for the last 3 months"
"Don't get me wrong it's boring but worth it" she answered.
After getting their drinks the team decide to move to the living room so everyone could sit. It didn't take long for everyone to fall into a peaceful conversation and before anyone noticed it was past 11:00.
"Well you are all welcome to stay here tonight there's plenty of room" offered Rossi noticing Emily who was trying her hardest to fight sleep.
"Well I'll think I'll take Rossi up on his offer" said JJ standing up to stretch.
"I'm with JJ it's getting late" mentioned Reid.
With the exemption of Emily and JJ who already had on comfortable clothes to sleep in and Rossi the team headed out to the cars to retrieve go bags. When Hotch returned Emily was already asleep with Jack curled into her side. What Hotch hadn't taken into consideration was the bed was only a queen meaning Emily and Jack took up the entire space. Grabbing his clothes Hotch changed into a FBI tee shirt and sweatpants before kissing them both on the forehead, switching off the light and walking out to the hallway in search of another room.
When Hotch walked into the living room Rossi's was locking his gun along with the teams in the safe by the door.
"Someone get sent to the dog house" asked Rossi.
"No Emily and Jack are bed hogs" he answered.
"O I bet that's nice" joked Rossi
"At least they both get a good nights sleep" said Hotch sitting on the couch.
"Speaking of sleep the only room left open is right across from me" said Rossi.
"Really" sighed Hotch it was a well know fact in the BAU that David Rossi snored. Whenever the team roomed in hotels they always put Rossi at the opposite end of the hall.
"Hey it's not my fault" answered Rossi.
"Fine" sighed Hotch standing up.
"And Aaron" said Rossi also standing up.
"Ya"
"Emily's father may not care enough to be in her life but I consider her a daughter. You may be my best friend but if you hurt her or make her cry I won't hesitate to make you regret it"
stated Rossi.
"I would never but I'm glad you care enough to threaten me" answered Hotch.
Much to there surprise the conversation was interrupted by Hotch's phone.
"Hotchner" said Aaron answering the phone.
The conversation went on for a couple of minutes before Hotch sighed and hung up the phone.
"Well so much for our day off we're flying out at 9 tomorrow morning. We have a case"
"Really do serial killers not know we deserve a day off" complained Rossi.
"I guess not" answered Hotch. "And Rossi" he continued. "If I have to wake Emily you get the honer of waking Garcia"
"Arron that's not fair and think about it you need me for this case" complained Rossi.
"So... " asked Hotch.
"So I can't die send someone else" he answered.
Laughing they climbed the stairs to get a few hours if rest before there next case.
