Disclaimed!

So this is the last chapter before it would have moved on to 'Because love sometimes hurts,' I would have continued but I want to get at least one of my in progress fics, complete.

Thanks to everyone who has been reading and reviewing!

Let me know what you think.

...

There was a high pitched white noise filling the profiler's ears as she stared at the piece of paper sticking out from underneath the pile of folders on her desk.

The nausea was under control, but the noise in her ears was deafening.

"Prentiss." Reid called out from his desk opposite.

Blinking down at the small triangle of paper visible under the manila folder, the Ambassador's daughter recoiled in trepidation of the future.

She was pregnant.

A phone call had changed her world and this tiny piece of paper verified it.

She was pregnant.

She was pregnant with a JJ's boyfriend's child.

She was finally going to be a mom and her whole world was going to be turned upside down because of this miracle.

She was finally going to have a family that was her own, who loved her unconditionally but she was going to end up destroying everything that meant something to her.

She was pregnant, freaking out and elated at the same time.

No wonder everyone was thinking she was going crazy.

"Prentiss, are you alright?" Reid asked once more.

Snapping her head up, the brunette agent forced an unconvincing smile onto her face. "I'm fine, Reid. I'm just a little tired."

Anderson drifted past the desks, raising a concerned eye at the older agent. "Long case Agent Prentiss?"

"The longest." She muttered in response.

"Maybe you should ask Hotch, if you can leave early?" The young doctor suggested thoughtfully.

Prentiss nodded once. "Yeah, maybe you're right."

Awkwardly, Prentiss hurriedly cleared her desk, placing the batch of folders in the centre of the table into her large designer handbag and hesitantly walked up to the Unit Chief's office.

Tapping on the door lightly, Emily stepped into the room nervously.

"Hotch." The team leader looked up from the desk sharply.

Frowning from his chair at the back of the room, the supervisor glanced in his colleague's direction. "Yes."

Stunned that they weren't alone, Prentiss blankly looked at JJ who was staring at her while sitting on the couch, next to Hotch's chair. Piles of files were stacked around the blonde as she stared in concern at her older friend. "Emily, are you alright, you look ill?"

"I don't think that flu I had has shifted." Prentiss replied weakly.

The media liaison tilted her head and sighed. "You've been a little off all week. Has the doctor not got the test results back yet?"

"I've just got a virus thing... All I need is a good sleep in my own bed, ten days is far too long to be working on one case." The brunette dismissed and bemoaned.

"You should go home. We all should. Do you need a ride?" Hotch offered quietly.

Emily shook her head instantly. "No, I'll be fine, thanks Hotch."

"Are you sure you'll be okay Em?" JJ asked worriedly.

'No, I won't be okay. I'm pregnant with your boyfriends baby and I'm about to ruin the only friendships... the only family, that I've ever cared about,' Prentiss screamed in her head. "I'll be fine, are you sure it's alright for me to go, there seems to be a lot to do."

"This is an all nighter." Hotch muttered dismally.

JJ smiled warmly. "Go home and get some sleep Em, we've got all of this covered."

"OK, night." The female profiler wandered numbly out of the bullpen and the building then found her car.

By the time she pulled her thoughts into focus, and after a few hours driving aimlessly, she found herself sitting outside of her younger friend's home.

Examining the dimly lit house across the street, Prentiss rested her head against the driver's seat attempting to come up with a plan, yet the suburban neighbourhood had her distracted.

'This street would be a great place to raise the children,' she mused silently.

"Woah, where did that come from?" Prentiss flattened her palm against her soon to be growing stomach.

It was no lie that the forty-ish woman had wanted children for a while now, but this wasn't exactly how she wanted her life to be.

Determined to tell Will the news, Prentiss gripped the steering wheel between her fingers and opened her mouth to practice. "Erm... Will, you wanted to break up with JJ and I stopped you. That was stupid. I want to be with you. I want us to be a family. Because, Will, during the last case the doctor called. I'm pregnant."

Dropping her forehead to the top of the steering wheel, the profiler groaned in frustration. "Nooooo."

JJ should have been home by now. It was after midnight and the team had been away for ten days, but her car was nowhere in sight.

The profiler considered waiting. Having a good talk with one of her closest friends might help her sort her mind. JJ didn't need to know that Will had been having an affair with her, nor did the younger woman need to know her five year partner was going to be the father of the profiler's unborn baby, those details could be omitted.

Prentiss could talk things through, make a plan. Then when JJ was checking on Henry she could talk to Will in private.

Straightening her back, Prentiss sniffled emotively, feeling her eyes swell with tears. "Will, I can't do this anymore. I don't want to be a home-wrecker. I'm leaving. Please don't come after me. Stay here with JJ and be a family... oh and I'm pregnant, but that's not going to be a factor. I don't need a man in my life to be a mom. I'm sorry but we have to end this now."

Finding some strength and determination, Prentiss unbuckled her seat belt and opened the car door. Within seconds she was knocking quietly on the front door, hoping not to disturb the young child in the house.

Will opened the door slowly, his surprise evident at the sight of the quivering woman on his doorstep. "Emily, what's wrong."

Holding back the tears, Prentiss took a few deep breaths and wiped away some fallen tears. "Will, I..."

"Em, come on in, you're frightening me." He led her into the hallway and closed the door behind them. "Tell me what's wrong."

Shaking her head, Prentiss allowed her tears to fall before pushing Will, back against the wall and capturing his lips beneath hers.

...

The end
