Before Hotch and JJ walked into the interrogation room Hotch grabbed her wrist and turned her to face him.

"I need to know that you will be able to hold it together in there."

"Hotch, I'm fine." JJ said sternly as she yanked her wrist out of his grasp and opened the door.

When they walked in Charles Howard looked up at them. Absolutely no emotion showing on his face.

JJ sat down opposite of him while Hotch stood behind her but not in the way of the people on the other side of the glass.

JJ opened the file she held in her hands and took out the photo they got of him from the daycare security cameras. "This is you. Is it not?" She asked blankly, a stern and hard look on her face.

"Yes, that is me." Howard said leaning forward and looking at the photo for a split second.

"So you're admitting to kidnapping Henry Lamontagne?" JJ said, a little surprised that he didn't deny it was him.

"Why use his last name? I know he's your son." He replied smugly.

"Did you or did you not kidnap this child?" She said more harshly this time. They needed him to say that he kidnapped Henry so they could charge him.

"Yes, I did."

"Where is he?" JJ was starting to have a hard time keeping her cool. But she held it together because she knew if she didn't then Hotch would pull her out of there in a heartbeat.

"I don't know." He simply said shrugging his shoulders.

"Now's not the time to play games with me," Her voice started to rise, "Just tell me where he is!"

"I don't know! That's the truth. My employer told me to get the kid and once I did I got a text from a private number saying to meet them at a parking lot. So I did and I gave them the boy and I haven't seen either of them since." He said, and JJ could hear the truth behind his words. Though she noted that he was careful to say "them" when talking about his employer so they wouldn't know if it was a man or a woman they were looking for.

"What's your employers' name? I know you know it." She said starring him in the eye.

He starred her right back before leaning back in his chair with a blank expression, "I want my lawyer."

"You sick son of a-"

"Agent Jareau! Stand down!" Hotch cut her off quickly.

JJ looked at Howard with a look that could kill before getting up and walking out of the room, slamming the door behind her.

She didn't turn around though when Hotch came out of the room to and started calling after her, or when she heard her other colleagues open the door to the room they were in and poke their heads, shocked that she was ignoring Hotch, even when he ordered her to come back.

She continued to walk briskly until she was back in the conference room where she started pacing around the room furiously to control her anger that was beginning to boil over.

"When I give you an order I expect you to obey it." She whipped around to see Hotch standing in the doorway, his voice almost had a coldness to it.

"If it were Jack that was missing right now would you have obeyed an order?!" She yelled as the rest of the team plus Will came up behind Hotch, but kept their distance.

"Yes I would have! He requested a lawyer; there is nothing more that we could say to him!" Hotch said, becoming angry that she was bringing Jack into this.

"HE'S MY LITTLE BOY!" She finally screamed, "I CAN'T LOSE HIM TOO!"

"What do you mean 'too'?" Hotch asked, suddenly calm.

JJ realized to late at what she had just said, she looked at Will who nodded as he came and stood beside her, taking her hand in his, "Last month I found out I was pregnant," Various "What's" were heard around the room. "I wasn't going to tell you all until I had my first ultrasound. But when I went to the doctor about two weeks ago he said I had had a miscarriage." Her voice broke at the end and she looked down at the floor.

A collection of gasps and sighs were heard as they took in the information shared by their friend.

"Is that why you called and requested sick leave two weeks ago?" Hotch asked. She simply nodded, still looking at the floor.

"I had to go to the hospital and deliver my stillborn child," She whispered and looked back up at them with tears in her eyes, "No mother should ever have to do that."

Hotch, Rossi, Morgan and Emily just closed their eyes and sighed sympathetically while Reid just stood there, still shocked that she had been pregnant and Garcia had tears running down her face.

"You're right, no mother should ever have to do that," Hotch finally said after a moment of silence, "And I'm sorry that I yelled at you earlier."

JJ simply nodded.

"And don't worry, we will find Henry. I promise you." Hotch said and put his hand on her shoulder.

"Hotch," JJ said and paused, thinking, "What if this Unsub was a mother?"
