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.

Emily knew she'd have to tell her team soon, she had put on more than 10 pounds and was at four month into her pregnancy.

Emily sighed and said "God."

Emily walked into the parking lot of the BAU and saw Hotch waiting for her.

Hotch noticed the look on her face and said "What's wrong?"

"I have to tell them today." Emily said covering her baby bump with her long black coat.

"Hey look at it this way. JJ and Garcia already know, Dave suspects so that only leaves Morgan and Reid." Hotch said looking at the baby bump hidden by her coat.

Emily chuckled and said "Well, two out of five can't be that bad."

Hotch wrapped his arm around her and said "Besides, today you find out if it's a boy or a girl."

Emily smiled at that and said "And tomorrow I get to finally pick out the baby stuff for the room."

Hotch was thrilled she was pleased and said "So you still want me to go with you to the appointment?"

Emily looked over at him while they walked into the elevator "Oh, yeah. I'll need my best friend there."

Hotch took her hand and gave it a big squeeze, which caused Emily's heart to flutter.

'Damn hormones.' Emily thought 'Playing with my mind, making me fall for my best friend.'

Emily shook her head at that thought and smiled at her best friend as they entered the BAU.


After JJ gave them the paperwork to profile an unsub, Hotch cleared his throat.

The team looked over at their boss and Hotch said, "An announcement needs to be made."

"About what?" Morgan asked looking at Hotch who was smiling at Emily.

'Oh, I know where this is going.' JJ thought 'Go ahead Emily.'

"Emily." Hotch said looking over at the brunette.

"Uh," Emily said and muttered out quickly "I'm pregnant."

"What?" Morgan asked.

"She's pregnant." Dave said smiling as he had suspected that for awhile.

JJ and Garcia ran up to hug their friend.

"How far along?" Dave asked watching the two blondes tightly hug Emily.

"Four months." Emily said as Dave and Hotch finally pried the two blondes off of her.

"Congratulations." Dave said kissing her forehead and whispered in her ear "I've suspected for sometime."

"Thanks for not saying anything." Emily whispered back in his ear.

"I'm happy for you, Princess." Morgan said hugging his friend.

"A baby?" Reid asked than smiled "Who's the father?"

"A donor." Emily replied.

Hotch wished at that moment to tell everyone he was the donor but knew he'd have to tell Emily first.


Emily and Hotch waited for the doctor to come in with the ultrasound machine.

"Are you nervous?" Hotch asked Emily taking her hand and rubbing it.

"A little." Emily said smiling at his actions, 'He's so sweet to me.'

Emily felt her heart flutter when Hotch lifted her chin to look at him and smiled.

"In a few minutes, you'll find out if the baby is a boy or girl. You're going to be a great mother, Emily." Hotch said "You're great with Jack and he loves you like a mother."

"Well, it's hard not to love that little guy." Emily said smiling at the thought of Jack.

Hotch leaned his forehead against hers and said "I'm so glad to be here with you."

Emily smiled up at him and said "Me too."

'God,' Emily thought 'When had he gotten so damn sexy? Damn hormones.'

The doctor walked in and said "Sorry."

Emily turned her head to her doctor and said "No problem."

Emily for an brief moment wished the doctor had waited 5 minutes.

"Ready to find out if what you're having?" the doctor asked.

"Yes." Emily said as the doctor lifted her shirt to put the cold gel on her protruding stomach.

Emily grabbed Hotch's hand and he smiled down at her, glad to be apart of this moment with her.

The doctor moved around the ball on Emily's stomach and smiled at the two people with their eyes intent on the baby.

"Congratulations Emily. It's a boy." The doctor told her.

Emily's face lit up and she looked at Hotch who looked as happy as she was.

"A boy?" Emily said "It's a boy."

Hotch smiled putting his hand on Emily's cheek and said "It's a boy."

'A boy.' Hotch thought looking down at Emily 'We're having a son.'

The doctor printed out two copies and handing them to Emily "Congratulations."

Walking out of her doctor's office with Hotch she looked over at her friend who looked as happy as she felt.

"Do you and Jack want to come over for dinner?" Emily asked looking down at the photo of her son.

"Sure." Hotch said "What do you feel in the mood for?"

"Pizza." Emily said thinking of the treat.


Hotch and Emily picked Jack up from Jessica's and the boy happily greeted Emily with a big hug.

As they awaited for their delivery, Jack chatted with the brunette he loved.

"Emmy?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, little man?" Emily said ruffling the boy's hair which made Hotch smile.

"Are you having a baby?" Jack asked looking at her stomach.

"Yes." Emily said. "There's a little boy in here."

Jack smiled and said "Is that my brother?"

Hotch grinned at that while Emily tried to think of a way to let the boy down gently.

"No, sweetie." Emily said "You'll be this baby's friend but this isn't your brother."

"But I want him to be my brother." Jack said looking from Emily to Hotch.

Hotch looked down at Jack and said "We'll both be important to the baby."

Hotch decided it was time to tell her the truth. "Emily?"

"Hm?" Emily said while keeping her eyes on the little boy who was touching her stomach and smiling.

"I need to tell you something." Hotch said.

"Yea?" Emily said then got distracted when the doorbell rang.

"That's the pizza man?" Jack asked.

"I think so." Emily said getting up to get the door and her purse next to her answering machine.

'I need to replace that thing.' Emily thought thinking back to when it missed her mother's message a few months ago.
