A/N: So, Chapter 50 wasn't as grand as I had first hoped. I apologise if I got you all hyped up for nothing. Oh, BTW, all of those who write Emily/Hotch pairings, I hate you. You sucked me in big time. I was going to go with an Emily/Morgan pairing. That went out the window!
Anyways, with the news that, yes, JJ is extremely fertile (DracoMalfoysSweetGirl92), but remember, at this point, she is only in her late twenties, touching on early thirties. And, some of you might like, some might dislike where this pregnancy goes. But I'm not revealing anything...

Spencer rolled over, and put his arm around JJ's waist. She'd had a fairly rough night. As well as having morning sickness, she had also had a stomach flu, which Olivia had somehow managed to get as well. After being violently sick for a few hours around midnight, JJ had crawled back into bed, while Spencer took care of Olivia.
"Spence," JJ mumbled, her voice slightly raspy after the night she had had.
"Hey...how do you feel?" Spencer replied, propping himself up on his elbow, and gently stroking JJ's hair with his free hand. JJ rolled over to face him.
"A little better. How's Livy?" she said softly.
"She's asleep, but she was crying and telling me she felt really sick before she went back to bed," Spencer told her. JJ sighed.
"She probably got it from me. Poor baby," she mumbled. Spencer kicked the covers away, and got out of bed.
"You getting up?" he asked, turning around. JJ didn't reply, just kicked the covers away as well, and stood up. Walking around to Spencer, she slipped her hand into his, and allowed him to lead her down the hall to Olivia's room. They stepped through the door, Spencer reaching for the lamp. JJ saw the bucket Spencer had put at the side of the bed, and stepped around it, sitting on the edge of the bed. Olivia looked pale, but her cheeks were flushed due to the fever. JJ gently brushed Olivia's hair off of her face, which also managed to wake Olivia up.
"Daddy," she mumbled, rubbing her eyes. Spencer knelt down at the side of the bed, so he was eye level with Olivia.
"Hey sweetie. Is your tummy better?" he asked. JJ gently rubbed Olivia's back, noticing how warm she was.
"No," Olivia stated. Spencer and JJ smiled at her defiance. Standing up, Spencer reached down and lifted Olivia up onto his hip. JJ got off the bed, and led them out into the lounge room. Spencer put Olivia down on the couch, and then went to get Nathaniel, who had started crying. JJ sat down on the couch, and immediately became Olivia's pillow, as Olivia lay on JJ's legs.
"Mommy?" she said softly.
"Yeah?" JJ replied, stroking Olivia's hair.
"Mommy sick too?" Olivia asked.
"Uh huh. Is Livy sick?" JJ asked, smiling.
"No, siyyey!" Olivia said, giggling.
"Are you sure?" JJ continued.
"Yes!" Olivia finished defiantly, as Spencer returned with Nathaniel. Toby was also at Spencer's heels, his collar jingling softly as he trotted into the room. Olivia sat up, and flopped against the cushion on the other end of the couch.
"Tebee!" she called. Toby jumped up, settling himself in her lap. Just as Spencer sat down, JJ felt a wave of nausea, and leapt of the couch, sprinting to the bathroom. She got there just in time. Spencer sat Nathaniel against the cushions in the middle of their bed, before going into the bathroom to make sure JJ was ok. He walked in and found her sitting against the wall, head in hands.
"You alright?"
"I'll be better when this flu passes," JJ mumbled. Spencer held out his hand, and pulled her off the floor.
"Hey baby, when are you going to tell people you're pregnant again?" he asked as he led his wife back out to the lounge room.
"I don't know...not yet. This one can be our little secret for quite some time. I'll tell them when I start to show," JJ replied, resting her head on her husband's shoulder.
"That'll be ages from now," Spencer replied.
"No it won't, trust me. If this morning sickness plus stomach flu keeps up, I'm going to lose twice the amount of weight that I already have lost, and I'll show a month earlier," JJ explained.
"Wow. You really are an expert," Spencer laughed as he sat on the couch and pulled JJ into his lap.
"No. Just picked up my husband's genius trait," JJ replied softly, kissing his cheek.

JJ walked through the glass doors to the bullpen. The team were finally all back, all together again. As she walked over to Emily, Morgan, and Spencer, something shiny caught her eye. Getting closer, she realised it was coming from Emily, and gasped as she walked up beside her.
"Oh my god, Emily!" she said excitedly. Emily laughed, and held out her hand so JJ could see the engagement ring. Morgan leant over to Spencer.
"Have you noticed your wife is like a magpie? Attracted to shiny objects," he teased. Spencer laughed, and hit his friend with a file.
"Oh, wow! Em, I'm so happy for you!" JJ exclaimed. Emily got up, and the two women hugged each other, laughing. Morgan raised his eyebrows, and Spencer shook his head, grinning. JJ grabbed Emily's hand, and dragged her off to her office. Morgan laughed.
"Alright, Reid, pay up," he said, leaning back in his chair.
"Why?" Spencer asked. Morgan laughed.
"Your bet was that JJ wouldn't drag Emily away to gossip about her engagement. Shows how well you know your wife," he teased. Scowling, Spencer grudgingly handed over $50.

"So, how did he propose?" JJ asked excitedly.
"Jack and Keeley stayed at Garcia's for the night. Aaron made dinner himself," Emily started. JJ nodded, a satisfied look on her face.
"We ate by candlelight, we danced around the living room, and then he got down on one knee and asked me to marry him," Emily finished.
"And I don't have to be a rocket scientist to know that you said yes!" JJ replied excitedly. Emily nodded, grinning like a fool.
"You guys are going to make an awesome married couple,"

"No cases!" Morgan said happily. JJ laughed as he threw a bundle of blank and scrap papers in the air. Suddenly, she was overcome by a wave of nausea. Setting the file she was carrying down, she ran off towards the bathroom. Emily looked concernedly at Spencer.
"Is she alright?"
"She had the stomach flu last week. Probably hasn't gotten over it fully yet. I'll go see if she's ok," Spencer replied, getting up, although he knew exactly why JJ was sick.

JJ made it to the bathroom just in time. Holding her hair back, she threw up violently in the sink, as she couldn't make it to the stall. Hearing the door open, she groaned inwardly. She hadn't locked it.
"Woah! Are you ok?" someone asked. JJ realised it was Melissa Deary, the agent who worked closely with Anderson.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I think it's just the stomach flu," she said, straightening up as she rinsed out the sink.
"You should probably go home," Melissa suggested, as she dug around in her pocket for change for the tampon dispenser.
"Damn, no change," Melissa muttered, searching her pockets again. JJ quickly felt her inside pocket, and found some change.
"Here," she said, offering it to Melissa.
"Thanks," Melissa said gratefully. JJ slipped into one of the stalls, and locked the door. As she sat down on the toilet, she panicked. There was blood. Blood where there was not supposed to be blood. She was definitely pregnant. She'd had her OB appointment last week for Christ's sake.
Straightening up her clothes, JJ flushed, and walked back to the sink. She was suddenly pale, with panic. Exiting the bathroom, she walked quickly down the hall, and almost ran into Spencer.
"Spence! You scared me," she gasped. Spencer pulled her back around the corner, where they were still in the hallway, but had a little more privacy.
"Are you ok?" he asked. JJ swallowed, wiling herself not to cry, and keeping the panic at bay.
"Spence...I was kind of crampy this morning," she told him.
"Yes?"
"I was cramping, and now, I'm bleeding," she said softly, so only he would hear. Spencer's expression fell.
"Oh god. You don't think...?" he questioned. JJ couldn't hold it any longer. A few tears slipped out.
"No, no, I can't have it happen again," she said, wiping her eyes. Spencer pulled her into a comforting embrace, and pressed a gentle kiss to the top of her head.
"Jay, I'm going to take you to the hospital, ok?"
"What about the others?"
"They think you have stomach flu. I'll tell them I'm taking you home. Go get your bag," Spencer said calmly.

"Everything is fine," Dr Lockard said, moving the transducer over a little way.
"You're sure?" JJ asked.
"I'm sure. The bleeding was just a little bit of post implantation bleeding. Nothing to worry about, I assure you. It should stop within the next 24 hours. If it doesn't, you'll need to come back. But I can tell you now, I'm sure it will," Dr Lockard said comfortingly, removing the transducer and wiping her stomach with a soft towel. JJ looked at Spencer and smiled.
"First time parents?" Lockard asked.
"Third time," JJ corrected. Lockard grinned.
"You must be great parents. Having a third is definitely brave," she said. JJ laughed.
"We're prepared," she said.
"Trust me on this guys, I've got four. You'll never be prepared. You just need to take what gets thrown at you and improvise," Lockard advised.
"Only way to do it," JJ said, looking up at Spencer lovingly as she sat up.
