A/N: Okay, I know I said I wasn't going to post chapter three until April 30, but I was getting kind of bored. So I've decided to post it a little early. I hope that's okay with all of you. And thank you all for reviewing for the previous chapter. Really appreciate those reviews and I love them. Also, thank you all for voting! Anyway, here is the next chapter…
"Is there any names that you like?" Garcia asked.
"Well there is this one name that I've been quite fond of." Prentiss was staring at her baby daughter, who was now back in her arms.
"What name would that be?" Reid asked.
"I really love the name Emma Sophia. What do you all think about it?" Prentiss looked towards everyone else for their approval.
"My opinion is that I think it's a really beautiful name. It really suits her well." Rossi said and everyone else agreed with him.
"Welcome to the world, Emma Sophia Prentiss." Prentiss kissed her daughter's forehead.
Moments later, a young nurse with short wavy auburn hair and hazel eyes enters the room. She is smiling and the name tag on her shirt says, 'Isabella.'
"Hi Emily, I'm Isabella. I'll be teaching you how to feed the baby. Have you decided how you'd like to feed her?"
"Huh?" Prentiss was a little confused at the question.
"She means are you going to breast feed or bottle feed the baby." JJ said.
"Oh right! Well, I didn't really have time to consider the feeding options considering she's a little surprise, but I think I'll try the whole breast feeding thing."
"Okay then, but if it gets too uncomfortable for you, you can always switch to the bottle. Many women do that." Isabella said.
"We're all going to step outside for a few moments and give you a little privacy." JJ said to Prentiss as she and everyone else left the room.
While Prentiss was being taught how to feed her daughter, everyone else was out in the hallway, talking. There were a few other people out there too.
"Hey, I think we should throw a baby shower for Emily." JJ suggested.
"I like that idea. She doesn't have anything for the baby yet." Garcia said.
"We can throw it for her, when she brings the baby home." Strauss said.
"Yeah, and I've got a key to her apartment. So we can go there and have everything set up for it." Elizabeth said.
The four women then noticed that the men had worried expressions on their faces. They knew what the men were thinking.
"Don't worry boys. You don't have to attend the shower. We all know how that creeps you out." Garcia smiled at the men as they breathed a sigh of relief.
"But you do need to help set it up because there are some things a woman can't do alone." Elizabeth said.
"We've got no problem with setting it up, we just don't want to be there when the party happens." Rossi said.
A few moments later, Isabella walked out of Prentiss' room. She was pushing the baby cart with Emma in it. The baby was now sleeping. The men all rushed around the cart.
"Is she okay?" There's was a bit of panic in Reid's voice. And the rest of the men had worried expressions on their faces. The women just looked at the baby with smiles on their faces.
"She's perfectly fine. I just have to take her back to the nursery." Isabella smiled as the men breathed a sigh of relief. She then walked away from the group.
"You know, I don't think I'll ever be able to understand men. They don't like to attend baby showers, but once they see a doctor or a nurse taking a baby out of a hospital room, that's when they begin to worry." JJ let out a small laugh.
"Forgive us for being a little overprotective." Kevin said.
"Well, if that baby is ever spoiled, then we'll know by whom." Strauss said.
"The men." Garcia, JJ and Elizabeth said in unison with smiles.
When her family and friends reentered the room, Prentiss was sitting up in bed. She was twiddling her thumbs.
"So how did it go?" Garcia asked.
"It went pretty well. I'm still not sure if that's the feeding option I want for Emma." Prentiss replied.
"Well that's okay. I always switched it up with Henry every so often when he was a baby and he turned out just fine." JJ said.
"He sure did." Will chimed in.
"Do you know when you'll be able to bring Emma home?" Morgan asked.
"The nurse said I'd probably be able to take her home tomorrow. I'm a little excited and scared about it. I'm excited to be bringing her home, but I'm scared because I have nothing prepared for her."
"No matter what anyone says, no one is properly prepared for a new baby." Hotch reassured his friend and teammate.
Well that's the end of chapter three. I'm sorry it's a little short. I know you're all probably wondering why the topic of the father hasn't been discussed yet, but don't worry, it will be brought up soon. I mean if I didn't announce the father in the story, then the title would be kind of useless. Also, I'm not a mother. So I really wouldn't know if it's okay to switch up the feeding options with a baby. Please don't be mad at me for that. Anyway, please tell me what you thought of this chapter. Can't wait to read your reviews for it! I'll have chapter four up as soon as I can.
