A/N: Chapter upload rate slowing down. I know, but exams are coming up, and that wall is drawing ever closer. Hmmm...I have an idea! BTW, I don't actually know how well babies talk at certain ages, but I'm trying my best. Also, keep in mind that Livy has inherited Spencer's brains.
Disclaimer: I don't own CM. And DerekMorgansGirlForver...you are awesome! Also, someone else suggested something that I'm going to use! Review #112 it was. I'd check your name, but at the moment, I'm not connected to the Internet, but please know that I really appreciate your suggestion!

2 Months On: Just before Olivia turns one.
Olivia sat on JJ and Spencer's bed, repeatedly bouncing her stuffed bunny on the bed quilt. She looked up as her mother came out of the bathroom, pale and tired looking.
"Mama!" she cried, reaching her short little arms out for JJ.
"Come to Mommy Livy," JJ coaxed, kneeling at the edge of the bed. Olivia unsteadily pulled herself onto her hands and knees, and began crawling slowly towards JJ. JJ smiled, and picked Olivia up.
"Olivia Lauren, you are such a cutie," she said, as Olivia rested her head on JJ's shoulder, her blonde curls falling across her eyes. JJ looked down at her daughter, just as Olivia let a big yawn overcome her.
"Wow, baby, you're tired aren't you?" JJ said to the ten month old girl. Olivia rubbed her eyes sleepily. JJ took it as a yes, and went into Olivia's room to lay the little girl down.

Spencer came home to find JJ on the couch with a heat pack on her stomach and a blanket over her as she slept. He had noticed that in the past few weeks, JJ had become increasingly tired, sick, and sometimes, extremely hormonal. Spencer gently brushed her hair off of her face, and kissed her forehead. She stirred as he straightened up.
"Spence?" she mumbled.
"I'm here," he replied, sitting next to her. JJ rubbed her eyes and ran her fingers through her hair as she sat up.
"You alright? You look unwell," Spencer said. JJ gave him a small smile.
"I'm not sick," she said. Spencer frowned.
"JJ...you've been vomiting for two days straight, not to mention occasionally over the past couple of weeks. How can you not be sick?" he said.
"Let's put it this way...," JJ started. Spencer motioned for her to continue.
"Olivia...Olivia's going to be a big sister," JJ said softly, watching Spencer as she spoke. His eyes lit up with joy almost instantaneously, as everything finally made sense.
"Oh my god, JJ! Why didn't you say something?" he said, pulling his wife into a hug. JJ laughed.
"I wanted to be sure," she replied. Spencer accepted this, kissing her cheek, and then her jaw. JJ sighed softly. Spencer swept her up in his arms and carried her into the bedroom, where they made passionate love until dawn.

"Spence!" JJ called from the front door as she came home from work. Spencer came into the hallway, Olivia on his hip.
"Woah! Since when do we have a dog?" he asked, referring to the fluffy white puppy that JJ was carrying. JJ walked towards Spencer, and smiled when Olivia reached out to try and pat the puppy.
"His name is Toby. He's a Maltese Poodle, or a Moodle. One of the guys in Counter Terrorism had to give him away because his son is allergic. He didn't charge me at all, Toby has been vaccinated, microchipped, clipped, and his nails have been filed," JJ rattled off. Spencer looked unsure. Olivia reached out further, trying to touch Toby's fluffy hair.
"JJ...dogs and I don't tend to mix," Spencer said, taking a step closer to JJ. Olivia managed to touch the dog, and recoiled her hand quickly when she did, an expression of shock and amusement on her face. JJ laughed.
"I know. Trust me, Toby loves everyone," she explained, putting Toby down, and taking Olivia from Spencer's arms. Toby ran around the living room frantically, sniffing everything, before running up to Spencer and jumping up at him. Spencer looked unsure of how to respond. Toby continued to jump on Spencer's leg, until Spencer knelt down and gave the dog a pat. Toby put his paws on Spencer's knee, so he could be higher up to get more attention.
"He likes you," JJ said. Olivia struggled against her mother's arms.
"Dada!" she cried out. JJ laughed. Spencer stood, taking Olivia from JJ, and held her in the air, high above his head. Olivia squealed with laughter as Spencer brought her down, and then held her up again. Toby ran mad laps around the lounge room, getting more and more excited as Olivia squealed. JJ was almost in hysterics at the mad scene that was unfolding in her lounge room. Spencer brought Olivia back down into his arms, holding her close. Toby bolted towards JJ, bounding up the step and jumping up at her legs.
"Hey you crazy fluffball," JJ said, picking Toby up. He licked her arm contentedly, making her giggle. Spencer walked over to her, turning the two pairs into a group hug.
"We really are turning into one of those crazy families. When Olivia is about 6, I can just see her tearing around after the dog, her little brother or sister running after her," he said softly. JJ grinned.
"I wonder what it means...because I can see it too"

Emily came back to the table, carrying two coffees and a hot chocolate on a tray.
"Here you go ladies," she said, mocking a waitress as she sat down. She gave Garcia her coffee, and JJ her hot chocolate.
"So, JJ, you have some big news?" Garcia asked excitedly. JJ nodded as she dropped marshmallows into her mug.
"Yeah...," she trailed off. Emily and Garcia watched her closely. JJ grinned.
"Ok, ok, just...stop watching me, it's kind of creepy," she told them. Emily smirked.
"Well?"
"Well, I haven't been feeling that hot lately. I found out last week that...Spence and I are having another baby," JJ explained. Garcia's eyes lit up, while Emily's jaw dropped.
"You guys must have a very hectic sex life," Emily hissed, making JJ laugh, and almost choke on her hot chocolate.
"Oh my god, Jayje! Congratulations!" Garcia exclaimed.
"So Livy's going to be a big sister already?" Emily asked. JJ nodded. Emily smiled.
"That's awesome!" she exclaimed.
"Yeah, I'm just hoping I don't get as sick as I was with Olivia," JJ complained. Emily laughed.
"So, on another note, how's Toby?" she asked.
"Oh, he's adorable! Olivia loves him. She won't leave him alone," JJ told them.
"What was her initial reaction?" Garcia asked.
"She reached out to pat him, and when she managed to touch him, she pulled her arm away, with a look of amusement, and even shock on her face," JJ giggled. Emily burst out laughing, while Garcia chuckled as she stirred her coffee.
"What about Reid?" Garcia asked.
"He wasn't so sure at first, but now, he absolutely adores Toby. The same way he is with Livy," JJ explained. Both Garcia and Emily 'awwed' at the same time.
"You guys are a great family. I'm jealous," Emily said.
"Get Aaron to propose," JJ teased as she stood up to go to the bathroom.
"Whatever," Emily said, waving it off. Garcia laughed as she watched Emily pull a series of faces at JJ as she walked off.
A/N: Wowsers! I know, it took ages. Like I said, wall...oh, hold on. I have an idea. That's never a good thing in reality, because at school, my ideas get me detentions. So does my mouth. Anyway, here it's a good thing, but it's unexpected. You'll never guess it.
Please review! I know it took me ages, but I haven't left you!
