Two months later and their relationship was still a secret from the team, except for Garcia. Their relationship was still full of excitement like that first night, they went out on a lot of dates and afterwards would spend the night in each others arms.
Aaron and Jack had become very Important in Erin's life and she wouldn't sacrifice the happiness she felt for anything in the world.
So as she sat in her office thinking about her boys she felt a sudden wave of nausea and ran to the bathroom. She was bent over the toilet when someone walked in.
"Are you alright ma'am?" It was Penelope.
"Of course Miss Garcia just feeling a little unwell today" she replied
"Do you... Would you like me to get Hotch?"
"No no it's ok I'm feeling better now"
After she had splashed her face with some water she looked in the mirror at Penelope and she had a mischievous gleam in her eyes. She looked at her questionably.
"How long have you been feeling like this? " asked Garcia.
"Just this week but It only occurs during the morning or afternoon.. Wait you don't think I'm pregnant do you?"
"Well has anything unusual been happening to your body?"
"Not that I know of but to be sure would you come with me to buy a pregnancy test?" She asked slightly overwhelmed.
"Yes of course I'll just go tell Hotch we are going out for some lunch and then we will pick up the test"
Just as Penelope was about to leave Erin caught her wrist and she turned to look at her.
"Thank you Penelope"
"For what?"
"For keeping our relationship a secret for now, for coming with me and making sure that I'm ok"
"No need to thank me that's what family does for each other."
Then Penelope left.
After they bought the test they decided to go back to Erin's apartment. Quickly Erin ran into the bathroom, ripping up the box containing the test. After she had used the test she sat it on the counter and looked into the mirror.
She started to second guess everything what of Aaron wasn't ready for a baby? What if he didn't want a baby with her? Will this effect their relationship ? What are we going to tell the team?
To calm her nerves she walked back into the living room and sat with Penelope in a comfortable silence and she was thankful for it. Then the alarm went of on her phone telling her the results were ready.
She walked briskly into the bathroom not bothering to close the door behind her. This was it this will either change their relationship or it will have no effect. Just as she was about to check the test she heard a rustle of keys in the door. She quickly hid the test and walked to the kitchen to compose herself. It was Aaron at the door.
"Erin is everything ok? You both rushed out of the office and you looked..." Erin cut him of by kissing him. When she pulled back he smiled at her.
"I'm fine Aaron I just need a little air and myself and Penelope went to get some lunch. I'm ok now I promise" and she kissed him once more "but you should be getting back to the office your team need you and I know there is a new case to briefed"
"Ok I was just making sure you were ok. Is Penelope coming with me or is she staying with you for a while?"
"She's going to stay with me for a while so we can talk and then we will be back at work within the hour" she kissed him again and pushed him towards the door "now go. I love you"
"I love you too" then he was gone.
