Pregnancy

When he got home on Friday night Emily ran up to him and jumped onto him and he caught her twirling her round then kissing her on the lips. He then put her down and the kids ran up hugging him. They'd all missed each other very much.

That night they were getting ready for bed when Aaron came up from behind Emily and wrapped his arms around her placing his hands on her stomach while she smiled sinking back into his arms. He rested his head on her shoulder and kissed her cheek. She placed her hands over his and stroked the hair lovingly on them and his arms.

"So what's the news?" he asked.

"I'm pregnant," she answered.

"What?"

She turned round and smiled at him taking his head into her hands then placing his hands back on her small bump. "I'm pregnant, Aaron. We're going to have a baby."

He looked at her numbly while she chewed her lip nervously. Did he want another child? Would he ask her to get rid of it? She wanted this baby so badly. She still felt twinges of guilt when she thought about the baby she'd aborted when she was fifteen.

It felt like an eternity before she noticed a smile spread across his face. They were going to have a baby. He was going to have a child with Emily. He was going to be a father again!

He picked her up and swung her round while she laughed so happy to see her husband ecstatic. When he placed her back down he had tears in his eyes. He just couldn't believe his luck. He'd been married to Emily for six months, she'd wanted three months for them to consummate the marriage and now they were going to have a baby. Could things get any better?

"When did you find out? How far along are we?" he asked excited holding out her hands to look at her bump.

"I found out a few days ago just before you rang me up from New York. I'm twelve weeks pregnant," she smiled.

He smiled then looked a little confused. Twelve weeks! They'd only been having sex for twelve weeks. Had he really got her pregnant the first time they did it? "Twelve weeks?" he asked shocked.

"Yer, guess you got really lucky sperm," she teased. He laughed and kissed her nose.

"Maybe I do," he smiled and she kissed him on the chin.

Later that night he was lying in bed staring up at the ceiling. What would happen with work? Though he tried to spend a lot of time with his family some of his free time was taken up with training. Now he was having a baby could he still train to be Unit Chief again. He didn't want to miss out on the pregnancy but neither did he want the last three weeks to have been a waste of time.

"What is it?" she asked looking over concerned.

"Should I be carrying on training to be Unit Chief now we're having a baby?" he asked worried.

She understood he was worried he would miss out but she was going to be pregnant for six months. Training only took a few hours every week. He wouldn't miss out on the pregnancy.

"Honey," she answered tracing her hand over his cheek missing his beard a little. "No don't give up the last three weeks of training. You'll only regret it if you do. It's where you belong; it's your rightful place. I'd rather have a happy Unit Chief for the father of my baby than a miserable profiler. I just want you to be happy, Aaron, and you loved running the BAU. It's where you belong and I want you there."

"But the baby?" he asked.

"Will still have you, Aaron. I know you'll be a great dad to our baby along with Jack and Frankie. I'm going to be pregnant for six months, Aaron, not six weeks. You're not going to miss a moment of the pregnancy, trust me."

He smiled and added, "You sure?"

"I'm positive, Aaron. You're the only father I'll ever want for my children."

He smiled at her and kissed her so happy that everything was finally sorting itself out. His hearing had come back, he was working his way back to being Unit Chief and now he was having another baby.
