Thank you everyone who's reading this story, I'm glad that you're still here with me! Sorry for the delay, I was planning to update during the week, but life got into the way.

Hope you enjoy this chapter!

I don't own Criminal Minds.


"Can I call Aunt Pen?" Julia asked.

"No." JJ replied.

"Can I call Aunt Em?" She asked again.

"No." Will replied this time.

"Juliette?" The girl tried this time.

"Nope." JJ shook her head.

"Memé?" She tried with Will.

"Nope again." He shook his head without taking his eyes off of the road.

"Why not?" She threw her arms to the air, indignant.

"Because we agreed to call them as soon as we arrived home." JJ explained as she opened her purse, hiding her laugh.

"But I wanna tell them!" Julia exclaimed. Will looked at JJ for a minute and they laughed at the girl's reaction.

"I know you're excited with the news, princess. We are too. But we agreed that we were going to buy everything we needed as soon as we left the doctor's and when we arrived home, you and I would call Memé and Aunt Sylvia and then you and mom would call Aunt Pen, Aunt Em, Juliette and everyone else you wanted." Will explained to Julia as he watched her through the car's mirror.

"Okay." Julia mumbled, crossing her arms at her chest. Will laughed and looked at the papers on JJ's hand.

"What's all that?"

"A short list of the basic things we need for the baby." She explained about the four pages list.

"From where did you get that?" Will asked a little surprised. And scared.

"Juliette. And google." The blonde explained and started reading the list. "To start, what color are we painting the bedroom?" She asked, looking at Will and then Julia.

"Green." Julia suggested.

"Why not yellow?" Will suggested.

"Our room is already yellow." JJ caressed her 24 month old belly. "What about beige?"

"It's a sad color." Julia mumbled, making JJ and Will laugh.

"We could decorate with really colored stuff." JJ suggested.

"No." Julia shook her head at the same time Will shook his.

"Ok, ok." JJ rolled her eyes. "White?"

"It's as sad as beige." Will said and Julia laughed.

"You're leaving me without any options here!" JJ exclaimed.

"Green!" Julia exclaimed, throwing her arms again at the air. Will looked at JJ, nodding his head at Julia's direction.

"Green?" JJ asked Will and he smiled, nodding. "Then, I guess it's green." JJ said as she wrote something on the list.

"Yes!" Julia celebrated. "Could we put a zoo theme?"

"A zoo theme?" Will asked.

"Yes! Like pictures of animals, and bedside lamps with the same graphics and animal's blankets, and animals curtains!" JJ and Will laughed at Julia's animation. "I know my brother will love it!" JJ smiled as Julia spoke so affectionately of the baby. They had just gotten out of the doctor and they were now sure that they were having a baby boy. Julia couldn't contain her excitement, not just because she was right about the gender but because she wanted a baby brother to take care of. After hearing his heartbeat again and not having to calling him 'it' anymore, but him, JJ and Will felt like it was even more real.

"Well, I think we have the room already planned." Will looked at JJ and they laughed.

"So, should we start with the furniture and the things for the bedroom?" JJ asked as she checked her list.

"Well, considering I'm already parking in front of the store." Will raised his eyebrow and the girls laughed.

They started with the furniture. Opting for a clean room, the couple chose for white crib, drawer and closet. Matching with it, JJ chose for a white armchair, a very comfortable one where she could feed the baby comfortably for her and him. After choosing the big stuff, they went to the small things for the bedroom, which required a lot more attention to choose.

"I like this one." Julia pointed to a light green curtain with the graphics of giraffes and elephants.

"I know we're choosing a zoo theme, but we shouldn't exaggerate with this, Jules." JJ commented as she searched through more curtains.

"And I think a darker one would be better." Will commented and Julia nodded, continuing to look for more.

"What about this one?" JJ pulled a dark green curtain with a white stripe at the end of it.

"I like this one." Julia smiled.

"I do too." Will nodded and JJ smiled.

"Ok, so we need two sets of it." JJ said as Will already grabbed the boxes with the curtains.

"What do you think about these lamps?" Julia pointed to a pair of white bedside lamps with graphics of elephants, giraffes and lions.

"I like these ones." JJ smiled as she approached the girl and Will pushed the cart near his girls.

"I like these ones two." Will smiled.

"Then, we already have bedside lamps." Julia smiled as she put the box by herself at the chart.

"Ok, so I think we are done with the furniture. We now need to go to the baby's store." JJ risked on her list everything they had already bought and they headed to pay.

"This one is too beautiful!" Julia exclaimed as she grabbed an animal themed crib bedding set.

"I like this." JJ smiled. "But we need more. So you can choose three more, ok?" The girl nodded to her mother. "I'll be on the next aisle with your dad." Julia nodded again and JJ walked over the other aisle where Will was staring blankly at the million types of pacifiers.

"I have no idea of which one to buy." JJ laughed at Will's comment as she also stared at the pacifiers, wrapping one arm around his waist.

"This one." JJ grabbed the blue one that said 'special for newborns'. "Juliette said we need three." JJ explained as she grabbed two more and put at the cart.

"Ok, momma." Will commented and pushed the cart a little more. "Where's Julia?" He asked as he stopped in front of the bottles.

"Choosing the crib bedding." JJ replied as she also stared at the bottles. "Jane used this one when Christopher was a newborn." JJ explained as she grabbed one of the bottles.

"Do we need a bottle for now? I mean, won't you keep breastfeeding?" Will asked her.

"Well, I'll. But when I get back to work I'll need them." JJ replied, putting two bottles at the chart.

"When you get back at work." Will mumbled, turning himself to push the chart.

"What?" JJ stopped in her tracks, hearing what he had said.

"Nothing." Will shrugged her shoulders as he stared back at her.

"This isn't over." JJ mumbled this time, turning to the shelves. "We're going to need this and this." JJ put on the cart a breast pump and a bottle brush.

"If you say so." Will whispered as JJ rolled her eyes. She was about to say something when Julia arrived with 4 sets of crib bedding.

"I grabbed an animal themed, a blue one, a plaid green and a striped red and orange." Julia said proudly as she put the sets on the cart.

"Very good, princess." Will smiled. "Shall we go to the hygiene sector? There are a lot of things to choose over there." Both girls nodded as they turned to the other aisle.

"Hello?"

"Aunt Pen!" Julia exclaimed as she supported herself on her elbows at the kitchen counter and yelled near the phone.

"Hey, princess." Penelope laughed. "There's no need to yell, I'm right here." JJ and Julia laughed as Will did the same while cooking lunch.

"There's a really girl that's really excited." JJ said.

"Oh, buttercup, I'm on the speaker!" Penelope exclaimed. "Oh God! You were going to the doctor today!"

"Yes, we went." JJ replied while laughing.

"And guess what, Aunt Pen?" Julia replied, a huge smile in her face.

"We're having triplets!" Will yelled from his spot in front of the stove as they could hear Penelope gasping at the other side of the phone. Julia quickly started laughing as JJ glared at him, trying to hide her laugh.

"ARE YOU KIDDING ME?" Penelope yelled. "Oh my God, I'll have more three babies to spoil, can you imagine it? How are you going to do? I mean, four kids is a big thing and..." Penelope started rambling as Julia continued to laugh hysterically.

"Penelope!" JJ almost yelled, getting the attention of the tech again."Will is messing with you." JJ laughed as Julia and Will laughed with her.

"Oh, LaMontagne, you didn't." Penelope said and JJ and Julia couldn't help but laugh.

"I couldn't resist, PG. Sorry." Will replied as he put the chicken wings on the pan.

"I'll only forgive you because you're making my buttercup and my princess happy. And of course, because you with your southern drawl saying PG is really, really sexy." Will laughed as JJ did the same. Julia's cheek turned a little shade of red as she tried to hide her laugh. "Ok, princess. Now you tell me the truth." JJ smiled as she nodded to Julia.

"I'm having a baby brother!" Julia exclaimed proudly as Penelope screamed.

"Oh God, you were right, we are going to have a baby boy to spoil!"

"I know!" Julia replied. "That bodysuit we saw on the internet is perfect for him!"

"Which bodysuit?" JJ asked, raising her eyebrow.

"One of a lot of bodysuits that you will get crazy about on your baby shower." Penelope replied and Julia laughed.

"Oh, man." JJ shook her head as Julia laughed.

"The doctor said that he's perfect Aunt Pen. And I saw him on the monitor. He was smiling when I was talking to him." Julia said as JJ admired how her eyes shined while she talked about her baby brother.

"Oh princess, I know he's going to love you! You're going to be an amazing big sister!" Julia laughed. "Did the doctor say anything more? Is everything ok with your mom too?"

"Everything is perfect, Pen. Without considering the stretch marks and the swollen ankles." Will rolled his eyes at JJ's comment. "The little guy wasn't really cooperating to show us his 'part' but he finally did." Will and Julia laughed.

"Dinner is ready." Will whispered to JJ and Julia and they nodded.

"Aunt Pen, we have to eat. The doctor said that mom has to eat correctly because she has to feed the baby too." Julia explained to her Aunt.

"Ok then, Doctor Jareau." Julia laughed. "Buttercup, I talk to you later. LaMontagne, take care of my girls."

"I will, PG. Don't worry." Will smiled through the phone.

"We talk later, Pen." JJ nodded.

"Can I text everyone telling the good news?" JJ laughed as Penelope seemed to be as excited as Julia.

"You, Spence and Emily already know. I'll tell the rest of the guys on Monday."

"Oh, ok then." Penelope said with a tone of disappointment. "But I wanna be there." She let her knowing. "Bye, family!"

"'24 weeks.'" JJ read out loud from her spot in her bed as Will brushed his teeth. "'Since last week the baby has gained about 90 grams. His skin is thin and fragile, but the body is taking shape and occupying more and more space insde of your uterus.' Tell me about it." JJ mumbled and Will laughed, sitting in front of her in bed. " 'At this stage, your baby may even be developing a weakness for sweets. Taste buds are forming and the weakness for sweets is part of the process.'"

"Well, I'm sure this baby has a weakness for sweets since he was the size of a bean." Will shook his head and JJ laughed. She closed the book and put on her bedside table. "Can we talk?" Will asked as she leaned herself back at the bed frame.

"Of course." JJ smiled as she caressed Will's hand that was in her leg.

"It's just something you said earlier." Will explained, shaking his head.

"What?" JJ asked, trying to play innocent. She knew that she wasn't going to avoid the conversation with Will and now that Julia was already sleeping, she knew that he was going to touch the subject. She also wanted to talk to him about it but she knew that this could lead to a fight.

"Earlier, you said at the store that we were going to need the breast pump and the bottles for when you started to work." Will said as he stared down at her leg.

"Yeah?" JJ nodded, knowing exactly what his point was.

"Are you going to get back at work when the baby is born?" Will asked, starring back at her.

"Yes." JJ simply replied as she grabbed Will's hands and put on the sides of her bump and they could feel their baby moving.

"And are we going to do with the baby and Julia?" Will asked, smiling with the feel of his baby. "I mean, Julia is turning eleven soon and she's a really responsible little girl. But the baby will require a lot more of attention, attention that I don't think Juliette will be able to give as she takes care of Robert, Macy, Julia and Carly." He took off his hands of JJ's as the baby stopped moving.

"I talked to her about that." JJ stared down at her belly and them back to him. "She said that she wouldn't have any problems taking care of the baby. Julia, Macy and Robert are already very independent and she said it wouldn't be hard for her to watch one more."

"And you are comfortable with leaving your baby to be just one more kid at your sister's house?" JJ stared at Will, raising her eyebrows.

"He won't be 'just one more kid'. Juliette loves children and since when I told her I was pregnant she kept telling me that she would watch the baby. And this baby is her nephew. She will love him." She said as she caressed her belly.

"I'm not saying she won't love the baby." Will put his hand in JJ's bump and caressed it. "I'm just saying that maybe it's too much for her. We're talking about five kids."

"Five kids that only get together at the end of the day." JJ sighed. "Julia, Macy and Robert spend most of their time at school and Carly is in kindergarten. The baby would have her full attention during almost the whole day." JJ stared at Will but he didn't reply, he just kept staring at her. "Ok. What would you suggest then?" JJ asked as she raised her eyebrows.

"Have you ever considered not coming back to the BAU after the baby is born?" JJ raised her eyebrow at Will.

"You're kidding me, right?" She replied, shocked. She wondered if Will was going to suggest something like that but she thought he would be a little more delicate.

"Of course not." Will shook his head. He knew that JJ loved her job but he was truly surprised that she had never considered stopping working. "You would be able to stay full time with the baby, watch he and Julia grow up. You wouldn't have to worry about losing special moments with them because you're at the other side of the country chasing serial killers."

"Excuse me? What happened with the man who used to support me and my job?" JJ stared incredulously at Will. "You know I love my job and I do what I do to make this world better for Julia, our baby boy and all those kids out there. Julia understands that and I know he will too." Will got up from bed, sliding his hand through his hair.

"I'm not saying they won't understand, JJ. And I'm still here supporting you." Will turned himself to look at her. "But we now have a baby to think about and we need to decide whatever it's best for him."

"The best for him would be for both of his parents to stay at home taking care of him 24-hours a day, Will!" JJ raised her voice a little "But we both know this is impossible and you also work crazy hours, weekends and holidays! We have to balance our job, what we love to do with what it's best for our family!"

"And the best for this family is for you to stay at home taking care of our children!" Will raised his voice at her, losing his patience.

"You know that I was never this kinds of woman, William!" JJ got up from bed, losing her patience too. "The best for this family is not what you want but what everyone wants!" She said out loud, almost yelling.

"You can ask Julia and I know that what she wants is for you to stay at home taking care of them!"

"This is what YOU want, William." JJ put her finger at Will's chest. "She's proud of my job as this baby will be. She gets mad when I have to leave in weekends as this baby will get and as I get because I won't spend time with my family. But I know she also cares about my happiness and she knows that I'm happy saving them from the worst that is in this world!"

"You're just saying you're happier out there than here in our house!" Will almost yelled, throwing his arms up.

"No! You're saying this, William!" JJ slid her hand through her hair and walked over the closet, opening Will's side of it. "Because clearly you're the one happier when I'm out there!" As JJ yelled, she threw a magazine at Will's chest.

"This has nothing to do with this discussion, Jennifer!" Will yelled as he picked the Playboy from the ground. "I'm here saying that you should stay home full time so whatever you're implying doesn't make any sense!" JJ snorted and walked over their bed, grabbing Will's pillow and throwing at him.

"Go!" She simply yelled as she put her hands in her belly.

"What?" Will stared at her as he held his pillow in his other hand.

"Go to the couch, to the car, go to wherever you want, I don't care!"

"I will." Will said as he took a deep breath. "We're both stressed and continue to argue like that won't end well."

"Just go!" JJ said as a kid, hitting her feet on the floor and tears threatening to fall. Will sighed and walked over the door, putting the magazine on his bedside table and opening the door. "And take this thing with you!" JJ threw the magazine in the hallway's wall, making a loud noise. Before they could say or do anything, Julia opened her bedroom's door as she rubbed her eyes.

"What's going on?" She asked in a groggy voice. JJ quickly looked at Will, who quickly grabbed the magazine from the floor and put in his chest, blocking it with his pillow.

"Nothing, princess. Nothing." JJ shook her head. "Why don't you come to sleep with me?" JJ smiled and Julia could see that it was a fake smile. She then looked at Will, who was also smiling falsely.

"Were you fighting?" Julia asked staring between the couple.

"I'm snoring too much so your mom kicked me out of our room." Will let out a little laugh, trying to ease the situation.

"Come on." JJ nodded her head to inside of her room and Julia nodded, quickly running inside of her room and grabbing her pillow in her bed.

"Night, dad." Julia smiled and kissed Will's cheek. He smiled back at her and kissed her forehead, as he watched JJ close the door behind her.

/-/

As JJ rolled in bed, she looked at her beautiful girl sleeping beside her. Taking a strand of hair from her face, she kissed her forehead as she looked at the clock. 3:37 and she couldn't close her eyes.

She felt bad for yelling at Will. She knew that all he wanted was the happiness of them. But she also felt sad for everything he had said to her. Since they had met he knew how important her job was for her and how she was being able to balance it with taking care of Julia and now she didn't know why he thought they weren't able to do that with the baby. 3:47

Was she being too stubborn and selfish about it? Was Will right about all of that? Should she stay at home taking care of their children? Was she going to regret if she continued at the BAU? Risking to lose the important moments of the baby's and Julia's lives? 3:57.

JJ got up from bed, covering Julia with her pink blanket and grabbing her own from the bed. Wrapping it around her body, she went downstairs, carefully to not bump in anything during the night. As she arrived at the living room, Will was curled up on his side in the couch, the sheet from Julia's bed over his body. JJ smiled and sat in the little space left at the couch, in front of his abdomen.

"Hey." She whispered as she caressed his cheek, carefully to not scare him. Will let out a yawn and turned on his back, rubbing his eyes.

"Is everything ok?" He asked, his voice groggy from sleeping.

"Yes." JJ nodded, whispering. Even in the darkness of the night, Will could see JJ's eyes shining and he knew she was on the verge of tears.

"What happened?" He asked, quickly sitting up and hugging her.

"I'm sorry." JJ whispered as a single tear felt down her cheek. Will rubbed her back as she kissed his shoulder, not wanting to let it go.

"Shh, it's ok, cher." Will whispered in her ear, kissing her cheek. He pulled away, brushing away the tears with his thumb.

"I shouldn't have spoken to you like that." JJ shook her head. "I shouldn't have yelled. Nor kicked you out of our room."

"And I shouldn't have spoken to you like that either." Will grabbed her hands and put on his. "I was wrong on thinking that you should give up on your career because of us."

"Will." JJ said with a shaky voice, felling a little bit of irony on his statement.

"I'm not being ironic, Jay." Will shook his head. "I mean that to make our kids happy we need to be happy. And I know that taking you out of the BAU will make you miserable."

"We can make it work." JJ whispered. "I know we can." Will smiled.

"Yes, we can." He nodded. "With your sister helping us and with me staying home a bit more, I know we can." JJ's eyes got big.

"What do you mean with you staying home a bit more?"

"I was thinking. And while the kids are at school, Juliette can watch our little man and I can work. But as soon as school finishes, I come home with them."

"No." JJ shook her head.

"Why not?" Will raised his eyebrow.

"Because now you're giving up on your career because I won't give up on mine." Tears felt down again on her cheeks and Will brushed them away again.

"I'm not giving up on my career, JJ. I can talk to my captain and see if this can happen. I can't promise I won't have to work sometimes on weekend or night shifts but I can do that."

"You already gave up so much for us. Your career in New Orleans, your family, your friends. And now this?" She raised her eyebrow.

"And now this." Will nodded. "Because I would give up on anything in this world for you and these kids." He said as he put both of his hands on the sides of her bump.

"I still don't know what I did to deserve you." JJ shook her head and Will laughed, hugging her.

"I love you." He whispered as he pulled away from the hug and brought her lips into his.

"I love you too." JJ said. "More than you can imagine." Will smiled as he kissed her forehead. "Now, can you please come back to bed?" She pleaded with her eyes. "I need you as my bump pillow." He laughed, caressing her belly. "And I can't sleep with Julia, it's unbearable. She keeps kicking and moving and I can't sleep." He continued to laugh as he got up from the couch and grabbed her hand, rearranging the blanket over her back.

"I'll carry her to her bed." JJ kissed his cheek.

"Thank you." She smiled as they walked back to their bedroom.
