It had been three days since Emily announced she was pregnant, and they had barely spoke. When Aaron had said he didn't know how he felt, Emily walked out and had burst into tears. Since then, it had been awkward and hostile between the two. Neither of them knew what to say. It had been the first time they'd fallen out and not spoke for this long since the accident. Emily woke up and saw that the bed was empty, she sighed and sat up. For a few minutes, she stared at the wall deep in her own thought. All she had wanted was a child with Aaron and now she finally had the chance, and he didn't want it? Nothing hurt more than thinking her child was unwanted by her husband.

She got up from the bed, grabbing her robe and going downstairs. She saw Aaron at the breakfast bar, sipping his coffee as he attempted to read the newspaper. His reading had improved a lot and was getting better every day. He glanced up as he saw Emily come into the kitchen, he had barely spoke to her, he didn't know what to say. "Em..this has been long enough." He said, finally breaking the awkward silence. "What?" She said, turning to face him as she made herself a decaf coffee.
"We need to talk about this." He said, putting the newspaper down.
"What is there too say, if you was happy about the baby..there would be no hesitation. It's not- it's not rocket science, I get it. You don't want this." She said, her voice breaking slightly. "Emily!" He said raising his voice, which took her back. He stood up going over to her, "I never said I don't want this baby. Our baby." "Then what?" She said with a small scoff. "All we've wanted together is..a child of our own. But how can we? I can't be a good dad! I can barely be a good husband!" "That's not true at all! Your a good husband and your a good father to Jack. Why would your ever thing different?" She said, moving over closer to him. "Because of this!" He said, pointing to the walker. "When I can't walk unassisted? I still can't work? At least with Jack he wouldn't need- constant care like a baby does. And I can't promise to be that! How could I?"

She shook her head, putting a hand to his face, "If I thought for a second...that was true, I would of been hesitant to tell you. But as soon as I found out, I couldn't wait to tell you. Because, it was the best news. Especially after this year. I don't have any doubts of how good of a father you'd be, because I know each day your stronger." He sighed, looking into her eyes, "I just..I didn't want to disappoint you or-" She stopped him but leaning in and kissing him softly, "You'd never disappoint me, Aaron. Your strong and you- you fought so much already and I think..your going to be an amazing father to our child. I never thought I'd get to say that." She said with a chuckle.
"Me neither, I thought after my accident that was it. But- you..you did it" he said, kissing her head.
She smiled, "So...your happy about this?" She asked, her hormones were all over the place all the time and she was still nervous he didn't want this.
He nodded, "Of course I am. I was just scared...but of course I'm happy about having a baby with you. I love you, Emily" She moved in and wrapped her arms around him, "Good because..I couldn't stand not talking to you" she said.

Two weeks had passed since she announced to him she was pregnant, they had been to their first scan and she was just under 8 weeks. It was still early, and the only person they had told was Jack. They wanted to save telling the team until a later date, until she was 12 weeks.

Emily's morning sickness had definitely kicked in by this point, and each morning was awful. Aaron had tried to be there for her, but her hormones would get the best of her and she'd get annoyed by him which led to him backing off and finding ways to cheer her up. He brought her hot chocolate, and they'd spend the mornings watching movies until she felt better. In the meantime, Aaron's sessions with Reid were getting a lot better and his writing had improved by far. In two months, Aaron had his tests to see if he was well enough to come back to desk work. He couldn't be unit chief yet, or go out into the field but it was definitely a start.

"How do you feel about dinner tonight?" Aaron said, coming next to Emily who was in the living room. She'd had a horrible morning, she had spent hours next to the toilet and this baby was giving her a good run for her money.

"Hmm?" She said, turning to him. "I want to take you out for dinner tonight..if your up for it." He said, raising a brow. "You do?" She said, sitting up, they hadn't gone out on a date together since before the accident. "Yeah, that Italian that Rossi always recommended we should visit?" She nodded, "Yeah, we never got round to going." "So..Let's go, tonight." He said, kissing her hand. "You deserve it after the past couple mornings"
She nodded, smiling, "Yeah, let's go!" She said, excitedly. It had been too long since they had gone out together and she had missed it. Too much. It finally felt like she was getting her husband back, and they were having a baby together. It felt like things were finally looking up for them.

The evening arrived and Emily was getting ready, she had curled her hair and put on more makeup than she normally would. She sighed as she tried on her outfit, she wasn't far along but she could already see her growing bump. It was small, but she noticed it and it made her uncomfortable. "Aaron.." she moaned, walking out without her clothes on, throwing her outfit on the floor. "What? Not that I don't love to see you naked..but why are you throwing your clothes on the floor? You should be dressed by now." "I look fatter and because I don't look pregnant yet, I just look fatter!" She said ranting. "You don't look fat." He chuckled, going over to her. "Yeah I do. Look." She said, pointing to the smallest bump. "It's nothing, baby. You don't look any different. You can't even notice a difference." "Yeah, but I do. And I feel horrible." She sighed. "You look beautiful, and you don't look any different. I promise,sweetheart." He said kissing her softly. She nodded reluctantly and picked her up outfit, "I should go put this back on." "Don't worry..you could definitely take it back off lately" he smirked.
She rolled her eyes and walked away to go get ready.

They arrived at the restaurant, they were sat in a small booth that was candlelit and had already ordered. "Rossi was right...this place is really nice." Emily said, sipping her soda. "Yeah, it is. And it feels weird..being out. On a date. It's been a long time" She nodded, "I agree, and I've missed this." "Me too." He said, kissing her hand. Their food arrived, and Emily tucked into her pasta, she closed her eyes in pleasure and let out a moan. "This pasta is amazing, quite literally the best I've ever tried..except Rossi's."
He chuckled as he watched her and nodded, "I agree. It's amazing." He said, as he took a bite of his own. The rest of the night, it felt like barely minutes had passed and they had been there hours. They had missed being a couple, going on dates and doing normal things. Things were finally looking up, and both of them were happy.
