A/N: Here you go! I promise Rossi has good reasons for getting on to Kate. Enjoy!
JJ and Penelope only looked at their intruder in shock. How could he have heard their conversation? They were barely speaking above whispers the entire time, yet somehow Derek Morgan had heard everything except the obvious.
"Who's pregnant?" Penelope finally scoffed, giving him a look. "You actually think it could be me?"
"Well, yeah," Derek said. "It's a possibility. We're pretty active in the bedroom, Baby Girl."
"Too much information!" JJ cried, covering her ears and trying to force the pictures of Morgan and Garcia out of her head. "Talk about something else!"
Penelope snickered at JJ, who looked as embarrassed as Reid when sex was brought into the conversation. Apparently they were a perfect match, even more so than Penelope had noticed.
She pursed her lips at Derek. "No, my love, I am not the one who's carrying a bun in the oven," she said. "Our genetically perfect embryo has yet to be conceived. JJ, however, is stuffed like a turkey on Thanksgiving day."
Derek turned to JJ and grinned. "Really?" he asked and she nodded. "Congratulations," he said. "You and Reid must be really happy about this."
"He doesn't know yet!" JJ said and suddenly realized that she needed to tell him right then. How could she have told two other members of the BAU team and not her beloved? "I'll be right back!"
The blonde dashed out of the tent, practically knocking Derek over when she crawled across him and Penelope.
Once she was gone, Penelope looked at Derek strangely. "How did you know?" she asked.
"About what?"
"JJ and Will!" she whispered. "I didn't even know they'd broken up, much less that her and genius boy were together! Why am I suddenly the one who's out of the loop?"
"Baby," Derek started. "They've been keeping it on the down low. Reid told me on the way here about them."
"What did he say?" she asked. She hadn't had a chance to talk with her favorite genius yet.
"That they were very happy," he said. "He wanted my advice on telling Rossi and Hotch."
"And?" Penelope prompted. "What did you say?"
"I told him to spring it on them in surprise," Derek said. "That's what we did and they've been completely accepting of us."
"Everyone accepted us but that crazy lady," she grumbled. "Whatever her name is who blasts us during seminars. I mean, my goodness, even Kevin ships us together! How can she not love us?"
Derek laughed. "Well, Baby Girl, we are pretty cute together if I do say so myself. The lady must be blind."
She rolled her eyes at him playfully. "I can't believe you thought I was the pregnant one. What were you doing, out there trying to overhear what was being said? If so, you are horrible at eavesdropping."
"No," he said. "I honestly could just tell by your voices that something was up. I figured if I made a joke about one of you being pregnant you two would tell me what was going on."
"You were joking?" Penelope shrieked. "You blindly guessed and we told you?"
Derek really laughed this time. Yes," he said and practically doubled over while Penelope's eyes went into slits and she crossed her arms. He was going to wind up in the doghouse at this rate.
"How did you do that?" she asked. "You're so good at profiling now that you can read minds too?"
"No, " he said. "I'm still the same behavioral analyst that you know and love."
"Derek, you're magical! " Penelope insisted. "Are you sure that profilers can't get into Hogwarts?"
"You give me too much credit, baby," he said and kissed her. "I swear it was just a lucky guess. Besides, you're pretty magical when it comes to computers. You're a whiz."
"Is that the best word you can think of to describe me in my element?" Penelope asked. "I'm offended."
"Fine," Derek said. "You're brilliant, tech-savvy, and completely bat-shit crazy when it comes to Adobe photoshop and pictures of me in chaps…"
"Did I mention I made more of them?" she interrupted with a grin.
"Baby," Derek groaned. "The wrong person is going to stumble across those photographs and think they're real."
"Well, don't we want them to see the real thing?" Penelope asked. "Besides, if the Wicked Witch of Seminars is going to be breathing down our necks, shouldn't she see what you actually look like?"
"Nice try," he said. "I'm not letting you take pictures of me in chaps no matter how much you threaten me."
"Mhm," she said. "We'll see about that."
They continued to flirt back and forth, completely unaware of what was going on outside the tent with JJ and Reid, and all the other members of the team...
JJ found Reid chowing down on trout with Jack and Henry. Hotch was also with them, while Kate and Rossi were nowhere to be found.
She smiled at Reid. "Hey you," she said. "Want to take a quick walk?"
He nodded as he forked up a final bite. Then he followed her into the trees where they could have some privacy and time to talk. "Are you feeling any better?" he asked. "We have more fish back there if you're hungry."
"A little," JJ admitted. "I'll probably pass on the fish for tonight though. It doesn't sound all that appetizing, and I really don't want to get sick."
"Maybe you should go to the doctor," Reid said concerned. "I mean, what's it been now? Two weeks and no change? It could be something serious."
She was glad he'd given her an opening. "That's what I wanted to talk about," she said, stopping to take both his hands. "I know why I keep getting sick so much."
"Why?" Reid asked, going through a bunch of scenrios in his head. Was it stomach flu? Stomach cancer? He couldn't be losing JJ already after only having her for so short of time.
"I'm pregnant," JJ said quickly. She didn't want to lose her nerve or chicken out entirely. "I've only known for a few days myself, and I was trying to wait until after this trip to come clean."
She watched the emotions cross his face. Shock, disbelief, and then, pure happiness.
A lopsided grin crossed his face. "Really?" he said. "Why didn't I figure that? I mean, I've been reading books on what causes nausea and was scared it was cancer. I never...I thought...Wow."
He scratched his head and looked sheepishly at her. "How far along are you?" Reid asked.
"Nine weeks," JJ said.
He glanced at her stomach, which was still completely flat and toned the way she liked. He could hardly believe that JJ was pregnant with his child. It seemed his dream of starting a family with her was coming true.
"Wow," he said. "Does, uh, Will know?"
"No," she said. "I haven't seen him in weeks. He hasn't even called about Henry."
Reid instantly felt the anger swelling up in his chest, but he hid it from JJ well. It really ticked him off sometimes the way that Will treated JJ and Henry, especially since Henry was still young and needing his father around. Trying to distract himself, he changed the subject.
"We probably need to tell Hotch soon, huh?" Reid asked. "He probably won't be too happy though after what happened with Morgan and Garcia."
"The hotdogs, you mean?" JJ joked. "I can't believe you said that."
"I really thought that's what he said!" Reid cried. "When Hotch is mad, he mumbles! It's a bad habit of his. He needs to work on it, or people are going to keep misunderstanding him!"
JJ only laughed and hugged him. She was so happy that he finally knew about her little secret, and that she didn't have to hide it anymore. "Well," she said. "You and I have some news to tell. Should we go get Henry and tell him he's a big brother?"
"Let's go find him," he said. "Be warned that we may have some trouble getting him and Jack apart. They're inseparable."
"Threaten him then," JJ said giggling. "Say that he'll have no television privileges if he doesn't come walk with us. You have to get the practice sometime, Daddy."
The two headed off then, giddy and ready to let Henry in on their little secret.
Kate was super pissed. Who did Rossi think he was, anyway? She was a grown woman and could kiss any man she pleased. Even men like Aaron Hotchner who had the authority to make her go weak in the knees.
"Why is this your business?" she replied coldly, not missing a beat. "Remind me of that again."
"It's not my business," the older man said. "I know it's not."
"Then what?"
"Don't get me wrong," Rossi started. "You two would make an interesting couple. But Strauss's replacement is breathing down our necks right now with Morgan and Garcia. I don't know if she could handle another hookup in our department."
"The dragon is still mad about Morgan and Garcia?" Kate asked in disbelief. None of them had bothered to learn the lady's name at this point. "They've been together for months now!"
"I know," Rossi said. "She's not like Erin in that regard. Erin didn't mind the employee fraternization very much at all. She just didn't want them flirting over the phone because the calls can be monitored at random. She was afraid the wrong boss would hear and fire us all."
Kate suddenly missed Strauss right at that moment. She had only know her from afar, but the woman seemed miles better than their current boss lady. Apparently this chick lacked real emotions and heart.
"What can the heartless bitch actually do?" Kate said finally. "She isn't the one who fires and hires. She just makes up the rules and leads sexual harassment seminars."
"Kate," he said. "That's the thing. She doesn't have the ability to fire and hire. However, she can do one thing that's even worse than firing one of us."
The burnette's eyebrows shot up. "What is that?" she asked. "What can she do?"
"She can disband the BAU," Rossi said. "Especially if she thinks we're too busy with other things to be following protocol. She has the authority to make that call, and it would put us all out of work."
Shit, Kate thought. Shit.
Before she could answer Rossi, JJ and Reid appeared suddenly at the campsite with Henry in tow. They were all holding hands. "We have an announcement," Reid said, his entire face flushed, but he was smiling. Everyone turned to look at them.
"We're having a baby!" they yelled in unison.
The entire team, including Jack and Hotch, erupted into screams and shouts. Derek and Penelope had came out of a tent and were crowding around the happy couple, everyone asking questions at once. All Kate and Rossi could do was share a look.
Would the ice queen really disband the BAU after an announcement like that?
