Chapter 10

A/N: Sorry to leave you hanging last time...Well, kind of! He he. Thank you for the reviews, glad you're enjoying the story. Not right away, but there will be other 'issues' that come up in this story, it's not all gonna be plain sailing. So if you are after a completely worry free story, I'm afraid you won't get it here. Life in the real world is almost never worry free, so I wanna make it realistic. That being said it's still gonna be a nice story, just thought I'd best pre-warn you there will be a couple of moments. On the whole it's gonna be very nice though :)

Anyway, I'm done babbling...Enjoy!

Emily, JJ and Reid continued to work, oblivious to the situation currently being brought to Rossi's attention. JJ was just rounded off a telephone conversation with Garcia, while Emily and Reid narrowed down their list of suspects. As Reid rattled off a list of reasons it couldn't be at least three of those on their list, Emily twisted in her chair letting out sighs of frustration with each turn.

Hanging up the phone, JJ looked at Emily with concern, "Em, you ok?"

Emily let out an exagerated huff and looked up to the ceiling, "These chairs are ridiculously uncomfortable! No matter how I sit, I get...Ugh! This is stupid!" She stood abruptly and said with hands raised in the air, "I give up!"

Reid decided to add something to the conversation, "Emily..."

He was interuppted by the flustered brunette, who said with a roll of the eyes, "Reid, if you're gonna spout some fact about the actual reason I'm not comfortable at the moment, please don't! I know - from experience - that my second child is currently growing and pressing on a variety of organs. So I realise - thank you - that the chances of me being comfortable right now, are slim to none!"

Reid looked at Emily warily before he said, "I was only going to suggest you try sitting on the couch over there." He said with an outstretched finger, pointing towards a couch covered in files and boxes.

As she eyed the couch Emily rolled her lips inward and raised her eyebrows and said sheepishly, "Reid I apologise! And thank you!" With a flick of her head she added "Baby's just making Mommy a little cranky today!"

JJ didn't manage to supress the laugh that escaped her lips. Emily looked at the blonde and said with a hint of humour, "I don't why you're laughing Jareau, you're helping me move these files!"

When all the files were moved and Emily sank into the couch, she sighed contentedly and said with closed eyes, "Spencer Reid, don't ever let anybody underestimate you! You are a genius in every sense of the word!"

After a quick smug smile, Reid said, "Actually there is only one sense of the word gen..." He noticed Emily raise her eyebrows at him so he back pedalled, "You know I'm just gonna quit while I'm ahead."

Emily closed her eyes again and said "Smart boy!"

JJ broke the silence and looked toward Emily who was resting a hand protectively on her bump. "Have you felt it move yet Em?"

"No, not yet. Shouldn't be long now though." She gazed fondly at the growing mound as she smoothed a hand over it and said, "We have our second scan in a couple weeks so we should find out what we're having. I'd love a boy, but I think Aaron would like a girl."

"I bet you'll both be happy whatever you have, right?"

"Oh of course! As long as it's...Ooh!" Emily's other hand flew to her stomach and the look of shock changed into a huge grin. "It moved! Wow, I'd forgotten how amazing that feels!"

JJ stood and walked over to sit on the couch next to Emily, "May I?" she asked as she went to place a hand next to her friend's.

"Sure!" Emily replied, still grinning, "I don't know if you'll feel anything though, might be just me that's able to feel it for now."

Just then the door opened and Rossi walked into the room. JJ looked up and said with a smile, "Hey Dave, Em just felt the baby move."

Dave smiled slightly and said, "JJ, can I speak to you for a sec?"

Seeing the look on Dave's face, JJ didn't ask anymore questions, she just got up and followed him out of the room, leaving Reid and Emily to wonder what was going on.

Once they were in the Deputy's office with the door closed, Rossi sat on the edge of the desk. He let out a breath and said, "We have a problem."

JJ looked at him and knew something was very wrong, "Dave, what is it?"

"The unsub returned to the crime scene...Jen, one of the guys has been shot."

JJ brought a hand up to cover her mouth that was currently hanging open, "Do we know who?"

"It's either Morgan or Hotch."

JJ sank down into the seat and said, "Do we know how serious?"

"No. All we know is it's either Hotch or Morgan and they've been taken to hospital." Dave looked down at his hands and said, "I wanted your opinion on what we should tell Emily."

JJ threw her head back and looked towards the ceiling. "Is there any way of finding out more first?"

"We've tried their cell's and their both off, we've tried the hospital and we can't get any information from them. I'm gonna see if I can go down to the hospital and find out. Do you think we should tell her?"

JJ looked at the floor hoping to find the answer in the bad carpet, "I think we should wait until we know more first." She screwed her eyes shut and said in frustration, "But then if it's serious we should tell her straight away. I don't know what to do!"

After a moment of silent thought between the two of them, Dave said decisively, "We should tell her. She's going to find out eventually and she'll wished she'd have known sooner."

JJ nodded, "You're right. Want me to tell her?"

"I think that would be best."

JJ had broken the news as gently as she could. Emily had immediately broken down and insisted on accompanying Dave to the hospital. JJ had also gone along to make sure Emily was ok. As Dave rounded the corner with lights and sirens blaring, the hospital came into view. Emily sobs continued to fill the SUV.

They all shot out of the vehicle and ran (Emily with great difficulty, but even more determination) towards the main entrance. Once inside Dave took the lead in asking the receptionist for information, while JJ wrapped her arms around Emily as the brunette sobbed into her shoulder.

A familiar voice sounded off to their right. "Emily!" She looked towards the source of the voice and ran once again down the corridor, collapsing into Hotch's arms and sobbing against his chest.

"I thought I'd lost you!" she cried as she clung to him with everything she had.

"Oh Sweetheart I'm sorry." he murmurred against the top of her head as he gripped her tightly.

The realisation that it was Derek who was hurt hit Emily, "Morgan...is he ok?"

Hotch stroked comforting circles up her back and said, "He's gonna be fine! The bullet caught his shoulder, they've removed it but he'll be in a lot of pain for a while."

Emily sank back against him. Hotch gestured toward a bench and said, "Come on let's sit you down."

Once the couple were sat on the bench (all the time Emily not letting go of Hotch), JJ and Dave followed the nurse down the corridor to go check on Morgan.

Hotch pulled back to look Emily in the eyes and asked gently, "Do you wanna go see him?"

She shook her head and dropped it once again on his chest and said, "If you don't mind I just wanna sit here with you for a little longer."

He rested his chin on top of her head and said "I don't mind at all Sweetheart!"

They sat there for a while longer just holding one another. Emily broke the silence, "Hey guess what!" she said excitedly.

Hotch chuckled at how much Lilly was just like her mother, "What?"

"The baby moved today!"

Hotch reached out a hand and placed it lovingly on the bump. He said in a very disappointed voice, "I missed it!"

"Oh Sweetie, I don't think you'd have been able to feel it anyway. I think it was only just enough for me to notice."

A smile crossed Hotch's face and he said, "Still, I would have liked to have been there when it happened."

Emily placed her hand on top of his and said, "Well it's definitely not going to be the last time it happens. I'm sure you'll be there next...Ooh!" Her face lit up with a smile, "Junior has amazing timing!"

Hotch beamed as he asked, "It moved again?"

Emily nodded as she moved his hand to the spot where the baby was fluttering about. Even though he couldn't feel it, Hotch felt much better knowing he was there. They sat for a while longer, just enjoying the fact that they were all safe.

A/N: Sorry if that was cruel leaving it that long until you find out what happened. Hopefully I made up for it the fact that I updated quickly, oh and you got a nice ending to the chapter.

Please let me know what you think! :)
