A/N So the direction this story is taking is, in one chapter you get introduced into more and more of Aaron and Emily's secrets and the another chapter will be a series of flashbacks. Some of the flashbacks will connect with episodes but I don't think they all will.
Emily had been feeling off all morning. It's why she was running late. She didn't know what was going on, but today was shaping up to be a long day. Coffee I need coffee. The smell hit her nose. Oh god I think I'm going to be sick. Emily sprinted to the bathroom and barely made it to the toilet before losing her breakfast. Oh god what is going on? After she finished, she unsteadily stood up and made her way to the sinks. She made herself look presentable. All right Emily, think what is going on? Ok I've been feeling off all day. The smell of coffee made me throw up. Ok think Emily think. … Oh crap. Wait, do the math … Oh crap. How could have I not noticed I'm two weeks late. What am I going to do? What am I going to do! WhatamIgoingtodo? Ok calm down. Breathe you don't know anything yet. Ok I need to tell Aaron.
Emily snuck in to Hotch's office and quickly shut the door and closed the blinds.
"Am I going to get lucky? Because I thought we agreed to do that only when no one is here."
"Ha ha. That's funny." Her face was sarcastic and fake happy. It quickly turned serious. "Speaking of "getting lucky" I'm late. And the smell of coffee just made me throw up."
It took Hotch a moment to follow the conversation. Emily saw the light bulb go off above his head. "Oh. Uh. Ok. Well I guess we get a test and go from there. Do you want to do it at lunch?"
"Yeah." She was in a daze. She walked to the door.
"Hey. It's going to be ok." He smiled hoping it would reassure her.
She gave him a smile back. It was half real half fake.

"All right are you ready to do this?"
She nodded. She didn't trust herself to speak. She walked into the bathroom. What am I going to do if I'm pregnant? What am I going to do if I'm not pregnant? Whoa where did that come from? Do I want to be pregnant? Well I've always wanted to be pregnant. Yeah ok. And I don't have a lot of time left, that old biological clock is getting pretty deafening. Ok, but what are you going to do about work? Well I'll do what JJ did. Ok, but what are you going to do about with the kids when you have a case? You can't have Jessica watch your child like she does Jack. That's a good question. And what are you going to do about you and Aaron? That's another good question. You can't avoid the subject by saying "that's a good question". What do you want from me? I don't have all of the answers. Well you better come up with some soon. I might not even be pregnant. Yeah but you know you want to be.
Emily didn't have an answer for that one. She walked out of the bathroom.
"How long do we have to wait?"
"Two minutes. Aaron what are we going to do if it's positive?"
"I guess we are going to have to face the music. We always knew this day would come."
"Not like this. I thought it would be different. We talked about this. We both want kids, but we didn't think we were ready. Do you think we are ready now?"
"I don't know. But we might need to be. What does the stick say?"
Emily took a long look at the stick. She stared at it. She looked away and took a second look. She took a third. She handed it to Hotch.
"This means its positive right?"
She nodded. He pulled her into his arms.
"Ok these things aren't a hundred percent. We need to call a doctor."
"Aaron I want this child."
"I do to.
"What are we going to tell the team?"
"Let's not tell the team just yet."
"We're going to have to."
"I know. But we don't have to do it yet. You're not going to start showing for a couple of months."
"Aaron we've been avoiding telling the team for all this time. We can't keep avoiding this forever."
"I know, but I like that this is just ours."
"Yeah but if we told then we could share a room on cases. I hate having to sleep in a cold and empty bed. I miss you. It doesn't feel right when you're not next to me."
"That's a very compelling argument. But admit it, you're enjoying the fact that we've conned the world's greatest profilers for all this time."
She didn't want to admit. She didn't want him to be right.
Hotch laughed "We are going to have to tell them. But I saw we do one final big con. Go out with a bang."
She smiled conspiratorially. "What do you have in mind?"
"Well it goes like this."
