"He's asleep," JJ said as she looked down at her boy laying his head in her lap. Henry had convinced Will to stay after dinner and watch a movie, but by the end credits he was out of it. "I'm going to put him to bed," she added as she carefully picked up her son so not to wake him.

"I should get going then," Will said standing up, thinking that now Henry had gone to sleep there wasn't much reason to stay around.

"No don't," she said changing Henry's position in her arms. "You said we should talk when were next together, why not tonight?"

"Ah yeah, okay," he said taking his seat again. He really wanted to get everything sorted out as soon as possible.

"I'll be back in a minute," JJ replied walking out the room and down the hall to Henry's room. She tapped the door open with her foot so not to have to rearrange the boy again and then walked over to his bed. She laid him down and pulled his covers up, before giving him a kiss on the forehead. "Good night, I love you," she whispered, before walking back out and leaving the door slightly ajar.

"He went down okay?"

"Yeah, didn't even stir. I think we wore him out," she answered. The situation felt somewhat tense. This was the first time they had be alone together since Will found out about Henry.

"He's a great kid," Will said.

"He is," she agreed.

"You did a real good job raising him up," he admitted.

"Thank you," she said taking the compliment. Other people had told her that, but coming from Will, it meant a whole lot more.

"Just wish I could have been a part of it," Will said and JJ lowered her head. She knew it was unlikely but she hoped one day he would forgive her.

"He's only five, just think of all the things you won't miss because you are now a part of it," JJ said, she knew it wouldn't make up for those five years but it was something.

"Yeah, but what about his first smile, first steps, first words, first day of school? I wasn't there for any of that."

"I'm sorry," JJ was sure that wasn't going to be the only time she said that tonight.

"And all the little moments. Him sleeping in your bed because he's scared, or hiding behind your legs cause there's a stranger. Or all those other little things that I don't know about because I wasn't there."

"Do you want me to apologize again?" She asked, not knowing what else to say.

"No, I want you to tell me everything."

"What?" she questioned perplexed.

"I want to know everything."

"Everything?"

"Start from the beginning," he answered. He didn't want her to leave anything out.

JJ nodded and took the seat across from Will. "Okay. This is about a month after we broke up. I couldn't keep any food down. I thought I had the flu that just wouldn't go away, so I went to my doctor."

"So what brings you in today?" Dr Shey asked. JJ had used the same doctor since she had moved to D.C. but she never was all that sick, so the most she ever came was once a year.

"For the past few weeks I haven't been able to sleep, or keep any food down. And you're just going to tell me it's the flu and tell me to drink lots of water and rest. I just want to know why I'm feeling like this."

"You said a couple weeks already?" Dr Shey didn't know her patient all that well, but she did know she didn't come in for the common cold.

"Two, three weeks, maybe."

"I have to ask, is there any chance you're pregnant?" JJ didn't answer. She hadn't even thought of that, but it could explain it all. "Jennifer?" Dr Shey said trying to get JJ's attention back.

JJ swallowed the lump in her throat before answering. "Um yeah. I could be."

"Okay let's run some tests then."

…

"Congratulations," Dr Shey said looking at the blood test results she had just gotten back. "You are pregnant."

"Okay," JJ didn't know what else to say. She had tried to convince herself that it would all be alright if she was actually pregnant, but right now she didn't know how to feel.

"Is this good news?"

"Yeah," she said hastily.

"Are you sure?"

"I have mixed feelings," JJ said honestly.

"Why's that?"

"The father and I broke up a month ago, and he lives in Louisiana. So I really don't know how to tell him, or if to tell him."

"Unfortunately only you can make that decision."

"I know," JJ said placing a hand on her flat stomach.

…

JJ sat on her bed reading over some pamphlets and brochures the doctor had given her for over an hour now, every ten or so minutes she looked at the phone next to her, and she knew she had to make the call. She had scrolled through her contacts. It was strange not seeing 'Will' in the recent calls log. Her finger would slide across the call button, she almost wished she would accidently hit it, because she knew she couldn't do it by her own free will. When the screen would go black from lack of use, she would throw it back down on her bed. She lost count on how many times she had done that.

…

"You're telling Hotch now?" Emily asked. She was still the only person who knew about the pregnancy.

"It's three months today. I can't keep it secret much longer," JJ explained, placing a hand on her growing stomach.

"Do you want me to come in there with you?" Emily asked.

"No," she replied, it was sweet of Emily to offer, but she had to do it alone. "I'm a big girl, I can handle it."

"Okay, come find me as soon as you're done," Emily said, she wanted the details. JJ nodded, and walked in the direction of the boss' office.

"Come in," Hotch called after JJ knocked on his door. "Do we have a case?" He asked seeing the media liaison come in.

"No, I just need to talk to you about something important."

"What is it?" He questioned and motioned for her to take a seat.

"In about six months I'm going to need some time off," JJ had been going over how she was going to tell him for a couple of days, this however was not what she had settled on. She didn't know why it came out her mouth now.

"Why's that?" He asked. JJ never asked for time off, and making plans that far in advance was unheard of.

"I'm Pregnant," she answered. And Hotch's face dropped in confusion, so she went on. "I'm three months, and the father's no longer in my life anymore, so I'll be doing it alone. And I don't want to leave the BAU, or my position, and I'm telling you now so I can have a plan ready."

"When you walked in I was not expecting this," Hotch said, still wrapping his head around the media liaison being pregnant.

"Yeah, me neither," JJ laughed, it had taken her a couple weeks to get used to it herself.

"You're going to do it alone?"

"Yeah," she answered.

"Well if you need anything, ask. I'm more than happy to help you out in any way," Hotch said, out everybody on the team, he understood what she would be going through. He and Haley had been divorced for half a year or so, and he had Jack over as often as he could. He knew it was going to be difficult for JJ, and she wasn't one to ask for help, so it was up to him to offer.

"Thank you, I'll probably take you up on that."

…

"Thanks for coming with me," JJ said as she and Emily sat in the doctor's waiting room.

"You think I would want to miss this?" Emily asked taking her friends hand.

"Jennifer, we're ready for you," the ultrasound technician said as she came up to the two women. They got up simultaneously and followed the women into the room. JJ lied down on the bed and pulled her shirt up. "Okay, here we go," the technician said squirting the goo onto the evident bump. JJ didn't take her eyes off the screen and she loved hearing the sound of her baby's heartbeat. "Everything looks good," she said taking the different angle pictures. "Did you want to find out the gender?"

"Did you?" Will asked, interrupting JJ's storytelling.

"Yeah. I wanted to be as prepared as possible. My Mom said I should wait, that the surprise would bring great joy, but I didn't want to wait, and knowing was comforting," JJ answered.

"Did you want a boy?"

"Truthfully, at the time I wanted a girl, but that was because having a boy felt daunting."

"How so?" Will asked.

"I grew up in an all-girl family. I only have nieces, and the only children I had ever babysat were girls, so I felt like I'd be a little over my head with a boy," JJ answered honestly.

"I'd have been like that with a girl. I only have a brother."

"So you understand," she smiled, scared that saying she had wanted a girl would make Will think less of her.

"Yeah," he nodded. "And I'm sorry for interrupting you, go on."
