My conversations with Rossi and Spencer were much the same. They congratulated me, laughed off my concern for their feelings, and expressed their sentiments about me moving to Denver.

The next morning, Tara was waiting in my office when I walked in. "Good morning!" I greeted, closing the door behind me as I entered.

"Hey! How was your extended stay in Denver?"

"It was really good, much needed." I spot the cup of coffee waiting for me. "Oh, you're a goddess. Thank you for this!" Sitting down, I take a sip.

"No problem. So, what's going on that you wanted me in early? Do we have a new case?" Tara inquired, leaning back in the chair and taking a swig of her own coffee.

"Actually, I have a proposal for you. I'll cut right to the chase. I'm pregnant and I'm going to be moving to Denver to live with Andrew."

"Emily, that's wonderful! Congratulations!"

"Thank you!" I folded my hands on my desk. "That means however, that I will be stepping down as unit chief. I'd really like it if you would consider taking the position."

Tara's jaw dropped and she was silent for a minute before responding. "I can't tell you how honored I am that you would consider me but are you sure? I mean, there are a lot of people that have been with the BAU a lot longer and I'm sure are far more qualified."

"You're right, there are people that have been here longer and a few of them are qualified. Unit chief is a big responsibility though, and it's not a position any of them are looking to take on. You've been here 4 years, Tara. I may not have been here personally when you first started, but I kept in touch with everyone until my return enough to know that you've done great work since day one. You have the skills necessary to lead this team, and I know they'd be grateful to have someone they already know and trust taking over once I'm gone. I understand if you need some time to think about it, but if you could let me know by the end of the week, I'd really appreciate it."

"Of course, I'll let you know." Tara said, standing and reaching out her hand. "Thank you, Emily. I really appreciate the offer."

"It is much deserved." I reply, shaking her hand. "Also, if we could keep this on the down low until you've come to a decision. Not everyone on the team knows I'm leaving yet."

"Understood. I'll see you at the round table later this morning."

An hour later, JJ popped her head in the office. "Hey, you got a minute?"

"Of course, come in."

"So, how did this morning go?"

"She's taking some time to think about it, but I'm confident she'll take the position."

"Good! So, I was thinking about how you have yet to tell Penelope about, you know…" She gestures to my stomach.

"Any ideas on how to break the news?"

"One. I was rummaging through Henry's closet after you left last night and found a onesie that Garcia got him when he was born. It's too small for him now, obviously, but it was one of the few I kept in case we ever had a second. I thought you could use it." She pulls a light gray onesie from her bag handing it to me. I look over to make sure she shut the door before holding it up in front of me. In white, flowy writing are the words If you mess with me, you mess with my aunt (and you DON'T want to mess with her).

"Oh, that's good. That's really good." I laugh at the accuracy of the words. Garcia is the last person on the planet you want to mess with.

"That's what I thought. So, I brought a gift bag and some tissue paper. What do you say we make a visit to our favorite tech lair?"

"Let's do it." I stand up, finishing the last drink of my coffee before rounding the desk. JJ pulls out a plain white gift bag and wraps the onesie in orange tissue paper, placing it inside and adding some extra tissue paper for filler.

We wander down the stairs, out of the bullpen and down the hall to Garcia's office. Sliding my ID card for access, I open the door and Garcia turns around in her chair, greeting JJ and I with a bright smile. "Good morning, my lovelies. To what do I owe the pleasure of seeing your beautiful faces?" Then she spots it, the gift bag in JJ's hand. "Ooh, presents! For whom? For what? Did I miss somebody's birthday, I thought I had them all in my calendar!"

"Actually, it's for you." I say, taking the bag from JJ and passing it to Penelope.

"For moi? My, my, what's the occasion?"

"It's a surprise." I smirk.

Penelope start to pull the tissue paper out of the bag. "Get ready." JJ smiles at me, covering her ears.

"Oh my god. Oh my god. You, you're… ahhh!" Penelope screams in delight, dropping the bag on the ground, onesie still in hand, and pulling me into a tight hug. Tight enough that it was getting difficult to breath.

"Penelope, I need air." I laugh.

"Oh, oh right. Of course, I don't want to hurt the baby. Oh my gosh, the baby. You're pregnant. We get another BAU baby! Wait." She pauses, and I can see the moment it hits her. "It's Andrew's?"

"Yes, it's his." I know what's coming next.

"That means… you're leaving us, aren't you?"

"I'll be joining him in Denver at the end of July."

"Oh, my gumdrop." She pulls me into another hug, this one not as tight, but all the more sentimental. Pulling back, Penelope wipes a tear from her eye. "Ok, ok. I will not cry. Not yet. I will soak up your time here, I will come visit as often as I can and you better come back and visit us too."

"I will, I promise."

"I'll be glad that Penelope will have two munchkins to split her spoiling nature between." JJ jokes, trying to shift the mood.

"Oh, if you think that means I'll lay off of Henry, you're sorely mistaken." Penelope looks around my shoulder at JJ, who just laughs.

"I just hope the closets at Andrew's place are big." JJ remarks.

Furrowing my brow, I recall the last time I was in Henry's room. Henry has a decent sized walk in closet, and the one in JJ's room is twice that size. "The closets at your place are big."

"Yeah, not big enough. Half of Henry's wardrobe is in the guest room closet." My mouth drops open in disbelief. "Uh huh, get ready sister." JJ chuckles.

Tara stops by at lunch, officially confirming she is accepting my offer. By the end of the day, everyone on the team is aware of my pregnancy and the fact that Tara will be transitioning into the role as unit chief.

As I'm packing up my bag to head home for the evening, my phone buzzes. Picking it up off the desk I am surprised to see who is calling. "Derek Morgan." I answer.

"Princess. How you been? How is life at the BAU?"

"I'm good, the BAU is good. We miss you. How are Savannah and Hank?"

"They're amazing. That's actually part of why I'm calling. A little birdy told me you're moving to Denver."

I laugh. "Uh huh, end of July. I'm assuming little birdy told you why?"

"So that Hank has a playmate of course."

That wasn't quite the response I expected. "Umm, it's a little hard to have a playmate across state lines. But we'd be glad to have you out to visit."

"Oh, but you won't have to cross state lines. Savannah and I are moving to Denver next month. Garcia didn't tell you?"

"Shut the front door! No, she did not."

"Yeah, Savannah accepted a position as head of University of Colorado Health's department of pulmonology. It's a teaching hospital, so she'll be working with med students from the university. I broke the news to Garcia last week when we finalized our move in date. We wanted to get settled in before the semester starts on August 1st for the students."

"Derek Morgan, you just made my night. It will be so nice to have some family in the area."

"That's what I was thinking. I didn't even know Andrew had moved out there."

"Two months ago, yeah. His daughter, Keely, is there."

"That's awesome. Well, I got to get Hank into the bath. I just wanted to call and tell you about the move."

"Give Savannah and Hank my love. I'll catch up with you again soon."

"Will do. And hey, congratulations mama!"

"Thanks, Derek!"
