Trigger Warning: Slight mention of rape. Please be aware and read at your own discretion!

It's been about three weeks since the school shooting took place. Luckily no one was injured and it was a quick trial for Trevor. The school gave the kids three and a half weeks off, so everyone could do whatever they needed to overcome the traumatic event.

Hotch had given his team the rest of the month off, as he needed to be with Jack and Emily and JJ needed to be with their children.

Halloween was approaching, only being four days away and Emily and JJ were planning on taking to the kids to do some last minutes costume shopping. A.J. changed her mind and instead of being a princess, she wants to be a zombie.

Something JJ couldn't understand.

"Mommy, are we gonna go costume shopping today?" A.J. asks. She's currently sitting in the living room watching Bubble Guppies and she's wearing her favorite Princess gown and slippers.

"Yes we are. Do you want to go brush your teeth and then come help me pick you clothes out?"

"Yes. Can I wear my new shorts and butterfly shirt?"

"Yes, you may."

A.J. ran out of the room with JJ calling 'walk, don't run.' after her. JJ turns to the window and looks out. She had been thinking about a secret that she had and she knew Emily needed to know about it. She just hoped that Emily wouldn't be mad about her keeping it.

Emily walks in then with her phone in hand. "That was Derek. He said he'll be over in a few minutes to watch Henry and the twins."

"Ok." JJ replies but is distant and this concerns Emily.

"Girls, I need you to go downstairs and play down there. Take Henry and be sure to pick a movie all three of you want to watch. No being mean." The twins nod and with a 'yes, ma'am.' They're gone.

Emily walks over to JJ who is staring out the double doors that lead to backyard. The leaves are falling off the trees leaving the grass covered in different colors and a few piles from where Emily had tried to rake the leaves up.

"Jen…are you okay?"

JJ is able to see the concerned look on Emilys face from her reflection in the glass doors. She turns, with tears in her eyes, and looks at Emily.

"No."

Emily immediately sets her cell on the counter and wraps JJ in a hug. "Ok, come here. It's ok."

"No, it's not."

"Ok, well. Do you want to talk about."

JJ is prevented from responding by Derek walking into the kitchen. He opens his mouth to greet them but stops when he sees the look on JJ and Emily's faces.

"Everything ok here, Princess?"

"Um…Im not sure. Derek can you go downstairs to the basement and watch Henry and the girls for us? I need to talk to JJ."

"Yeah sure. Anything in particular they're supp to be doing?"

"I think they have a movie picked out. Just help them put it in and then they'll be good. We'll send A.J. down in a minute."

"All right. I can do that." Derek walks down the stairs leading to the basement.

"Ok, let's go upstairs so we can talk." Emily tells JJ. She leads her up the stairs and to JJ's room.

"Aunt Emmy? I Brushed my teeth. Can you braid my hair like Momma's?" A.J. asks.

"I wil baby, but right now I need you to go to the basement, ok? Uncle Derek is down there."

"But, I thought we were goin' costume shopping?"

"We will. But, right now your Momma is upset and I need to talk to her to find out why. Can you go to the basement while I do that?"

"Yes."

"Ok, thank you, bug. I'll be down later to get you. Ok?" The little girl nods and leaves the hall. Emily sighs and goes into JJ's room to find her sitting on the window seat.

"Hey bug. You ready to talk now?" Emily slips over to the seat and pulls JJ onto a hug.

"I don't know. I don't want you to be mad."

"Why would I be mad?" Emily runs her hair through JJ's curls. She had washed her hair the night before and Emily French braided her wet hair so it would dry curled.

"Because I lied."

"When did you lie, bug?" Emily closes her eyes and tries to remember what JJ could have lied to her about.

"When you asked if Will had ever hurt me."

Emily nods and her hand stills, causing JJ to pull away and look at her. "I'm sorry." She says, her voice breaking.

"No, no don't be sorry. Just…" She sighs. "Just tell me what he did. Ok?"

"Um…It was six years ago. I...uh I had just got home from work. We had a long case and we were gone for most of the week. All I wanted to do was go home, take a bubble bath, and then go to bed. When I got home Will was waiting on the couch. He had been drinking and it was obvious."

"What did he do, Jen?"

"He asked me where I had been." JJ starts out. "I told him a case had pulled me away and then I said that I diidnt want to get into a fight again. I tried to go upstairs, but he stopped me. Grabbed my wrist and said he wanted to talk now."

"I told him to let go and leave it alone. That we could talk later when he was sober, but he wouldn't listen."

"Ok, ok. Listen. I need you to take a breath. Ok?" Emily interupts. "Take a breath and try calm down. You don't have to tell me. I'm not mad and we're ok." Emily soothes. She brushes a loose curl out of JJ's face.

"No, I need to tell. I have to. Please." JJ begs.

"All right. Just take it easy. Ok?"

JJ nods. "After he grabbed my wrists he dragged me upstairs. He made me lay down and t-take my cl-clothes off. He r-raped me Em." JJ has tears streaming down her face.

"Oh, baby. Come here." Emily tightens her grip on JJ and lets her bury her face in Emily's shoulder.

"Two weeks later I missed my period. I took a test and it came back negative."

"Well, that's good. Right?" Emily asks, but thinks otherwise when she sees JJ's face.

"After another week of throwing up in the mornings and not being able to stand certain smells, I went to the doctor. He confirmed that I was pregnant. Nine months later and Henry was born."

"I'm sorry I never told you. I just didn't want you to feel guilty because you were already upset that you had missed so much of my life and you weren't there when I needed you."

"I'm not mad, sweetheart. Not at all. Ok? But, I still wish you would have told me."

"Part of it is my fault. I mean if I had just called to tell him I was going to be late, then he wouldn't have been so upset."

"No, no. Jen look at me. This is absolutely not your fault. Do you understand? This is Will's fault. All of it is. The abuse, him attacking you, you getting pregnant. But, he is in jail now and if we need to, then we'll file a sexual assault charge against him." Emily sighs and hates herself for asking the next question. "Jen, do you have any proof that he raped you? Did you tell your doctor that was how you got pregnant?"

"Yeah, uh…when I went to the doctors I was a little skittish around the male doctor and they just kind of figured it out. So they did an exam. But I insisted on not calling the police."

"All right. Good, that good. How about we put off going costume shopping until later. Ok? Right now I think we just need to rest."

"Ok." The two go over to the bed and lay down. JJ is wore out from the conversation and is asleep in seconds while Emily lays there and wonders how in the world she never realized that was how JJ got pregnant with Will.

Here is the next chapter. Please review.

Was that a surprise?
