AN: Thank you to everyone who reviewed/favorited/alerted! I wasn't expecting the response I got to this story! You guys are awesome! Okay, I know that I said this would be a two-shot, but it looks like it will be a three-shot. I hope you guys like it! Oh and this is OOC and slightly AU.

Emily bade Morgan, Garcia, and Reid all good night as she left the BAU room and headed to Hotch's office. She knocked on the door and at his 'come in' she opened the door and took in the sight of his office. It was neat and orderly as usual, but there had been a few additions.

On his desk, next to his pictures of Hailey and Jack was a picture of her and another of her and Jack. Both were taken by Garcia just a few months before she was 'killed.'

They all were at the park and enjoying a picnic. Emily had sat down on the blanket and Jack had decided that he was going to curl up in her lap. He leaned his head into her neck and smiled as Emily had said something into his ear. Garcia snapped a picture then.

The one of her was when she was on a swing at the park and Jack was pushing her. She had the biggest smile on her face. Garcia caught the sight and snapped another picture.

"Hey," Hotch said, "You ok?"

She looked to him and nodded.

"I talked to Morgan. He should act a little more civilly to you now, but I don't know about the others," Emily said.

"Morgan was just upset that he wasn't in on it and the fact that he regretted not going in sooner before Doyle had the chance to spear you with a 2x4. They'll be okay," Hotch said.

"I hope so. I didn't want to hurt them. I didn't want to hurt you," she said looking into his eyes.

Hotch got up from his desk and walked around to her. He took her into his arms and held her tight.

"Emily, you're safe and home. That's all that matters to me, well, that and the baby," Hotch said.

"I've missed you so much Aaron," Emily said. He kissed her hairline.

"I've missed you too. I thought of you every second of every day that you were gone," Hotch said.

"What are we going to do now?" Emily asked, "I'm not dead, but pregnant. You've got Jack already and I have nothing to go through this pregnancy with. I haven't shopped at all for her. I'm going to be such a horrible mother."

Tears began to fall down Emily's cheeks. Hotch pulled back out of the embrace. He made her look at him.

"Emily, you're going to be a wonderful mother. You have three months to get ready for this baby. We're going to be fine. I'm going to be there every step of the way," Hotch says to her.

"I was so hoping you would say that," Emily murmured.

Their lips met for a passionate kiss of all the emotions that coursed through them. Once the kiss broke Emily looked back into his eyes and asked, "What are we going to do about Jack?"

"We'll tell him together. Tonight," Hotch said.

"If that's going to be the case, then we need to get going. It's almost his bedtime," Emily said with a grin.

Hotch put the files he was working on away and gathered his things. They walked out of the office and headed to Hotch's place.

The travel to Hotch's home was quick, but Emily became more and more nervous the closer they got. She kept picking her nails until Hotch reached over and grasped her hand. He gave it a reassuring squeezed to let her know that everything is going to be fine.

They pulled up to the house that Hotch had gotten. It was a four bedroom house with two bathrooms. The outside was red brick with blue shutters. A small fence traveled around the house as it had a small yard.

Hotch led a nervous Emily in. He unlocked the door and the smell of dinner hit him.

"Jessie?" he called. Emily froze.

"In here," a female voice called back. Who was this? That was when she remembered Hailey's sister was the one who cared for Jack. She definitely had been gone too long.

Hotch led Emily into the kitchen. Jessica was stirring a pot of spaghetti sauce and the water to her right contained cooked noodles that Jessica lifted to strain. She turned and nearly dropped the pot at the sight in front of her.

"Aaron, am I seeing things?" Jessica asked.

"Uh, no. Not that I know of," Hotch replied.

"Really? I swear I see the ghost of Emily Prentiss standing right next to you," Jessica said.

"She's not a ghost," Hotch said, "She's very much alive. We faked her death to draw a criminal out and to protect her."

"You know, I'm right here," Emily said. Both Hotch and Jessica looked at her.

"It' good to see you Emily," Jessica said with a smile, "Uh, Jack is out back practicing his soccer kicks."

"Thanks Jessie," Hotch said as he led Emily out of the kitchen to the backyard where his son was playing.

Jack had kicked another goal. His mind was totally focused on his game that he didn't hear his daddy sneak up behind him. He squealed when he felt someone pick him up and spin him around.

"Hey daddy!" Jack said once he realized who had him.

"Hey Jack," Hotch said and set Jack on his feet and knelt down. Jack hugged his dad.

"Did you get the bad guy today?" Jack asked.

"Yep, we sure did, and I have a surprise for you," Hotch said. Jack's face lit up.

"What is it?" Jack asked. Hotch grinned and pointed towards the back door.

Jack looked and saw Emily.

"Is that really my Emmy?" Jack asked.

"Yeah, buddy. That's really her," Hotch said. Jack took off to Emily and hugged her waist as best he could.

Emily put an arm on Jack's back and hugged him as best she could. When he let go, she bent down to talk to him when Jack wrapped his arms around her neck.

"I missed you so much Emmy!" Jack said. Emily felt tells come to her eyes.

"I missed you too Jack," Emily said.

"Jack, be careful with Emily," Hotch said. Jack looked back to his daddy and then back to Emily. Something was different, his Emily was bigger. He knew better to say anything so he looked to his daddy as if to ask him what happened.

"Emily is part of the surprise," Hotch explained, "The other part is that you're going to have a baby sister."

"A sister?" Jack asked. Hotch and Emily nodded. "I guess I can deal with that."

They laughed.

"What's her name and when can I see her?" Jack asked.

Hotch looked at Emily.

"You'll see her in about three months," Hotch said, "And her name is Maia. Maia Abigail-"

"Hotchner," Emily finished. Hotch looked at Emily and she nodded.

"I can't wait to meet her!" Jack said.

"Dinner!" called Jessica.

"Well, time to eat. Jack go wash up," Hotch said. Jack took off to the bathroom and Hotch led Emily back to the kitchen.

Jessica had finished putting the plates on the table including an extra one for Emily. She looked over to Emily who sat down and to Hotch who sat next to her.

"So, how far along are you Emily?" Jessica asked.

"7 months," Emily replied.

Jessica looked at the two.

"So this happened before you 'died'?" Jessica asked. Emily nodded.

"Is it a boy or girl?" she asked.

"A girl. Maia Abigail," Hotch said.

"Maia Abigail Prentiss," Jessica, "That's a good name."

"Not Prentiss," Emily said, "Hotchner."

"Oh, Aaron?" Jessica said looking to Hotch.

"Yeah, she's mine," Hotch said.

"Huh? I didn't even know you two were dating," Jessica said.

"We were before this mess," Emily said.

"What does Jack say?" Jessica asked.

"He's excited," Hotch replied as the boy came into the kitchen.

"Excited about what daddy?" Jack asked.

"About the baby," Hotch replied.

"So daddy, if you and Emmy are having a baby does this mean you're gonna marry her?" Jack asked.

Hotch looked wide-eyed at his son. He then looked to Emily who was trying so hard not to laugh as was Jessica.

"Uh, I don't know, son. One day," Hotch said. Emily looked at Hotch incredulously.

"When?" Jack asked.

"I don't know. When the time is right, I guess," Hotch replied.

"I think we should do it next week," Emily said. Now it was Hotch's turn to be surprise.

"What?" Hotch asked. Emily grinned.

"I think we should do it next week. Just the family," Emily said.

"Are you serious?" Hotch asked.

"Definitely," Emily said.

"So does this mean we're engaged?" Hotch asked.

"Yes," Emily said with a grin.

"Woo-hoo!" Jack exclaimed. The adults all laughed and began eating their dinner.
