When the pair arrived at work, Emily went over to her desk as Hotch went to his office. Once Hotch had finished with Strauss, making sure he was fit for work, Emily went into to visit him.

"Miss me?" She smirked, as she peeped in.

"Depends which Emily this is...hormonal Emily or normal Emily" he said with a grin.

"Hey! But...normal Emily, for now" she said as she came and sat across from him.

"Listen..while your here, there's something I want to talk about with you."

Emily nodded, "You sound serious, what's up?" She asked.

"I think...now your pregnant, you should out the field..with Garcia when we get called out."

Emily widened her eyes, "No way, Aaron! Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean I'm useless! I plan on staying until I get really heavily due!" She scoffed.

"I don't think that's a good idea, what if you get hurt and it affects the baby?"

"No! You know I'd be careful and you know me better than to know I'd be happy with spending the next 6 or so months out the field!" She said, standing up.

"Well I don't think it's a good idea! You have no idea what could go wrong."

"So what, as my boss are going to order me too?"

"I don't want too. I hoped you'd agree."

"Well I don't. And I'm not doing." She said before leaving the room.

Hotch sighed, running a hand through his hair, he understood where she was coming from but he only wanted to protect her and the baby. He was mad she didn't want to keep the baby as safe as possible.

That following night, Emily had gone home whilst Hotch stayed before to catch up on missed work. She'd made dinner for her and Jack and put him to bed, she hadn't spoke to Hotch since the whole argument and she didn't plan on.

She went upstairs to their room, she had started to buy some bigger clothes, this bump was growing faster and she was already starting to show. She put on the shirt and looked in the mirror, rubbing the bump.

"If only your daddy would realise I'd never put myself in a position where you'd get hurt" she said with a sigh.

As she went downstairs to make herself a hot chocolate, Hotch came through the door. She looked at him before walking into the kitchen, ignoring him.

Hotch watched as she walked past him, he hadn't realise how much the baby had come along until he saw her then. He smiled to himself, she looked cute in that top.

Emily started making her hot chocolate, as Hotch walked into the kitchen.

"Your not even willing to discuss what I said?" Hotch asked.

"There's nothing to discuss, Aaron. I don't want to be kept in DC..I can't believe you'd even think I wouldn't do everything to make sure our baby never got hurt."

"That's not what I mean, Emily! Now your twisting it!" He said, raising his voice a little.

Emily rolled her eyes, "But that's what you think." She said as she grabbed a cup.

"Sorry that I want to make sure my baby is safe from harm!"

She scoffed, "But JJ was fine to come with us until she had to leave. So why is it any different for me?" She said before walking off.

That night, they didn't talk and slept far away from each other in the bed. They were both too stubborn to admit their faults, and this was their first big argument.

The next day came, Aaron had woke up already to take Jack to school and he was out when Emily woke. She went downstairs and saw he had left her out a croissant for when she woke.

She chuckled lightly, even mad he still made sure she was looked after. She ate it sat at the breakfast bar as she waited for Hotch to return. She hated the fact they had properly argued for the first time.

As Hotch came back in, Emily was cleaning up in the kitchen, he came into the kitchen and put the keys down.

"I made you your usual coffee." Emily said handing it him, "Thanks for the crossaint." She said, sipping her tea.

"Thanks." He said, taking it and taking a sip.

They could both still feel the tension between them, and both of them wanted to make up.

"I understand where your coming from." Emily said a few minutes later finally breaking the awful silence between them both.

He looked at her, "Do you?" He asked.

She nodded, coming closer to him, "Of course I do..because I know how it feels to not want to loose you, and to be scared of the fact that anything could happen to you out in the field. And I also know how it feels to be scared for the baby..because I am too."

Hotch sighed, he didn't know how to reply.

"But you should also know that I'd never let anything happen to either of us.." she said, putting a hand on her belly.

He nodded lightly, coming over to her and putting a hand on her face, "Of course I know that. I just- I'm scared that I won't be able to protect you both out there and that something will happen...because there's always that chance."

She leaned her face into his hand, "I know. But I promise you, I'll be careful. And it's only until I can't fly anymore." She said.

He nodded, "Okay.."

"Now, please can we stop arguing because I hated it..and I couldn't stand not sleeping beside you" she said, looking up at him.

He chuckled, pulling her into his arms, "Yeah, I hated it too." He said, kissing her head.

Emily smiled, wrapping herself into his embrace, "I love you even if your just as stubborn as I am"

A week later, it was finally time for the 12 week scan.

"I'm nervous, I know I'm not bothered with the gender...but I'm still nervous" Emily said to hotch as they waited to be seen.

"I mean I wouldn't mind either..it would be nice to have a girl for you."

She nodded, "Yeah, I am overpowered by boys in the house" she smirked, "even Sergio as well"

He chuckled, "Anyway..I have something else to discuss with you. It's your birthday soon."

Emily nodded, "Yeah, so?" She said, tucking her hair back.

"Any ideas what you want? Or what we could do?"

"I already told you, you don't need to do anything" she smiled, "A night in with you and Jack sounds perfect to me."

Hotch nodded, "Fine if you won't tell me..I'll have to think" he smirked.

Soon after, they were called in and Emily was sat on the bed, Hotch was holding her hand as they waited.

"Baby is all healthy, and growing just as we want" she smiled. "Would you like to know the gender?" She asked.

Emily nodded, "Yes, please"

"Your having a girl. Congratulations"

Emily chuckled and nodded, hugging Hotch. "A mini me" she said jokingly.

"That's amazing news, Babe" he said as he kissed her head.

"Yeah, I'm happy with that" she said.

Emily's birthday-

Emily awoke to Hotch and Jack singing her happy birthday , bringing her a tray of breakfast with all her favourite food. "Happy birthday Emmy!" Jack said going to hug her as she stood up.

Emily smiled, "Thank you, you two!" She chuckled, hugging Jack back.

"Here are your presents." Aaron smiled, handing her a bag of presents.

"Aaron, Jack..you didn't have to get me so many" she smiled.

"Open mine first,Emmy!" Jack said handing her the ones he had got.

Emily chuckled, "Okay." She said and started unwrapping the presents.

"Jack...this is so nice!" She smiled, it was a silver locket with a picture of the three of them inside.

Jack giggled, "And this one.." he said handing her another.

Emily opened the present, unwrapping it too a box, as she opened the box it was a pair of diamond earrings. "Aw, Jack...these are gorgeous! I love them!" She said as she hugged him.

"Now daddy's time" Jack said, crossing legs as he watched.

"Well...this one is from the baby" Hotch smiled and handed it her.

Emily widened her eyes, "What has baby got me?" She chuckled as she opened the present. It two pairs maternity fluffy pjs and some slippers.

"I think that's the baby's way of telling you she's sorry for making you grow out of your own pyjamas" Hotch grinned.

"Well thank you, little miss" she chuckled, putting a hand on her belly.

Emily started unwrapping her presents from Hotch. The first present was a new dress, it was burgundy and was lace. "This is such a pretty dress." She smiled.

"Just wait for why I got you that..you'll see why I did then" he said smirking.

"What have you done Aaron Hotchner?" She smiled, as she continued to open the presents.

Secondly, was a pair of sexy underwear which Hotch had forgot he was meant to save for when Jack had left the room. Jack covered his eyes, as the pair laughed.

"You sure that's not a present for yourself?" She whispered with a smirk.

Finally, was a present in an envelope, "What's this?" Emily said as she unwrapped it.

"Well...since we both have the weekend off and Monday...and I know how much you love the place...we're having a weekend in Paris. And I've booked your favourite restaurant, which took a lot of digging to find out may I add." Hotch said smiling.

Emily was speechless, "I- I love it! I love you." She said wrapping her arms around him, "Thank you" she said kissing him softly before Jack squirmed.

"And then..I promised Jack that since he can't come, when we get back we'll have an extra fun weekend to celebrate with him"

Emily chuckled and nodded, "Of course we can,Jack" she said hugging him.

"Our flight leaves tomorrow morning." He kissed her head.

"Then we best get ready...but not before we all tuck into this delicious looking breakfast" she said moving up so Hotch and Jack were both next to her.

It was the following morning, it was 7AM and the pair were in the airport waiting to board. They had dropped Jack off at Garcia's for the weekend, she was more than happy to have him and was going to take him out with JJ and Henry.

"I know I've said it a million times...but thank you for this, this is the best birthday present I've ever been given" she smiled.

"Well like you said yourself...not all of them are yours." He smirked referring to the underwear.

She nudged him softly, "don't worry..you'll be rewarded good for all your efforts for my birthday" she smirked.

"Oh, I can't wait." He smirked before they heard their flight be called.

(hotchniss in Paris...just like I pretend that's what happened when Emily was away ;)
