More Than A Feeling
Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds or NCIS, they're CBS brain child.
Summary: AU fic. Emily and Hotch are best friends. When Emily decides she wants to have a baby on her own she asks her friend NCIS Tony DiNozzo if she can use his sample that he donated years before, but what happens when her best friend Hotch falls for her and doesn't think this is a good idea?
A/N: No set timeline, but on CM's the Doyle drama didn't happen so Emily and JJ are there not Seavers'. On NCIS there's no EJ Barrett so all's clear on that end. Only a tiny tidbit of NCIS is in this story and it's mostly Tony with small cameos of a few NCIS characters.

Hotch had decided to spend the day with Emily since he called off as well.
Driving her back to her apartment he kept watching her out of the corner of his eye.
When Emily noticed this she said, "What?"
"Are you feeling ok?" Hotch asked.
"I'm fine." Emily said "Except that you keep looking at me every three minutes."
Hotch at that moment said "Just want to make sure you're ok."
"I'm fine." Emily repeated again "Just a little hungry."
"Alright, what do you feel like eating?" Hotch asked hoping to change the subject.
"I don't know, maybe some Chinese." Emily said "Doesn't matter."
Returning to Emily's apartment Hotch ordered some Chinese for them and had her lay on the couch much to Emily's annoyance.
"I'm not an invalid, Hotch." Emily said while he placed a red throw blanket on her "Or injured."
"Emily." Hotch said in his boss toned voiced. "You're suppose to rest for the rest of the day."
Emily huffed at that and wrapped the blanket around her giving Hotch a glare which made him smile at her annoyance.
Emily grabbed the remote muttering insults under her breath whenever she noticed Hotch looking at her.
Emily fed up with this said "Stop staring at me."
Hotch looked over at the but still kept looking at her every once in awhile.
Hotch cleared his throat and was relieved when their lunch arrived.
Hotch handed her the food and gave her some juice.
"Juice?" Emily said "Really?"
"Healthier than soda." Hotch said watching her face.
"We don't even know if the procedure was successful." Emily said "God, are you going to be like this if it worked?"
"Emily..." Hotch said "It's just juice."
"And your suppose to be my best friend." Emily said looking at the juice.
"Just take it." Hotch said watching her grab the cup and give him a dirty look.
"You're acting worse than when you hurt your knee." Hotch said eating his food.
"Yeah, well you weren't hovering than." Emily muttered eating her egg roll.
"I heard that." Hotch said smirking as she looked at her fortune cookie.
"Shut up." Emily said turning her attention back to the tv.
Over an hour later Hotch noticed that Emily fell asleep watching the movie on tv and picked her up to put her into bed.
'God she's so beautiful.' Hotch thought covering her up in her blankets.
Hotch lightly placed a kiss on her forehead and hoped that the procedure worked.
Hotch saw Emily roll on her side and wished that she felt the same way about him.
Walking back in the living room he sat down on the couch and wondered if or when Emily found out that he contributed the donation to her hopefully successful pregnancy, would she kill him or hate him?
Hotch shook his head and wondered why hadn't he just told her how he felt a long time ago, if she had rejected him it would of hurt but at least she would of known.
Looking out the window Hotch stood up and saw the sun going down and he knew, he didn't care about not telling Emily how he felt.
He wanted a place in her life and if there is a baby it's theirs not hers and Tony's.
Hotch knew that Emily felt no romantic feelings for Tony, that Tony had feelings for his female NCIS co-worker Ziva.
Hotch understood that, falling for a co-worker, he just wished that the woman he loved, felt the same.
Hotch walked out the front door to head for home, leaving the woman he loves, who hopefully is carrying his baby, to sleep in peace.
Hotch knew he felt no regret about that. Now he just had to wait a few weeks to see if there was a baby.
