I still own nothing.

Emily and Penelope were going through the pictures of the crimes scenes, and dump sites. Penelope rubbed her extended belly and grimaced.

Emily glanced at Penelope and saw her flinch.

Emily worriedly asked, "Are you okay?"

Penelope smiled and said, "The baby is kicking."

Penelope placed her hand over Emily's and brought it over to her upper belly.

Emily felt a sharp movement under her hand and grinned.

Emily excitedly said, "That was amazing."

Penelope said, "I think I can get him to do it again. Hold on a sec."

Penelope picked up her phone and dialed the proper numbers.

Derek chuckled and said, "Hey baby girl. Missin me already?"

Penelope smiled and said, "Hey yourself hot stuff. I was quickly calling because Emily wants the baby to kick again."

Derek laughed and said, "Okay I will talk to peanut."

Hotch looked over at Derek and grinned.

Penelope said, "Okay D we are ready."

Penelope held her iPhone against her belly.

Derek said, "Hey peanut! Are you being good for mama?"

Penelope gasped as she felt a kick land to the left side of her belly.

Penelope giggled and said, "Our little tamale is behaving."

Derek spoke again saying, "Be good lil one. I love you."

Emily looked at Penelope's stomach in awe. Emily saw the front of Penelope's dress slightly move.

Emily felt another kick to the palm of her hand, and smiled widely.

Penelope said, "This one is going to take down doors like his daddy."

Penelope took the phone off of speaker and said, "Thanks handsome."

Derek said, "Anytime mama. We should be leaving the last crime scene in just a few minutes. Then we'll head back to the station."

Penelope and Derek ended their call.

Penelope sighed in relief and said, "Good, I am sick of sitting here."

Emily said, "Tell me about it. I should be out there, not stuck in here."

Penelope looked at Emily and said, "Talk to Hotch tonight. But don't get yourself worked up, and please don't strangle him."

Emily smiled and said, "I will try not to."

Penelope chuckled and said, "That is good enough for me."

JJ stuck her head in Penelope's temporary office and said, "Hey ladies, I am done with the press conference."

Penelope motioned to an empty rolling desk chair and said, "Take a load off."

JJ gratefully sat down and sighed.

Penelope looked at JJ and asked, "Okay what's wrong?"

JJ turned in her chair to face both Emily and Penelope and asked, "Do you ever feel like you just need a break?"

Emily shook her head in the affirmative, while Penelope asked, "Alright Jayje what is going on in that pretty little heard of yours?"

JJ sighed and said, "Will wants to take a family vacation after this case, but we aren't due for time off for another month."

Penelope said, "JJ your family is important. It will be hard but, we can manage a few cases without you. I promise."

Emily said ,"I agree with PG. We will be fine. Take the vacation. You are due for one."

JJ shrugged and said, "If you guys are sure….."

Penelope said, "Of course we are. And if I do say so myself, when you were working for the Pentagon, I did a pretty good job filling your petite Jimmy Choos."

JJ smiled at Penelope and said, "You were the best substitute communications liason I have ever seen."

Emily said, "Now that it's settled, we are you guys going?"

JJ excitedly said, "Texas."

Both JJ and Emily repeated, "Texas?!

JJ said, "Well yeah. Will has a family farm there, oh and there are the cutest sheep, and calves, not to mention the beautiful horses."

Penelope said, "As a city girl I do not share your excitement, but I hope you have fun."

Emily said, "PG looks like JJ is gonna get Will in chaps before you can get Derek into his."

Penelope chuckled and said, "I have Photoshop."

JJ laughed and said, "Garcia you are crazy."

Penelope said, "And none of you would change me for the world."

Emily said, "You're absolutely right."

Hotch and Morgan walked into the precinct to let one of the detectives know that they were all back.

Reid and Rossi were in the parking lot quickly going over what they found out at the morgue.

Once Hotch was done with the debriefing, he went in search for Emily.

Hotch knocked on the little office door where he knew Emily, JJ and, Penelope would be.

Penelope said, "Come in."

Hotch looked at Penelope and JJ and asked, "Do you mind if I speak to Emily alone please?"

JJ and Penelope said, "Sure.", and made their way out of the little room.

JJ looked at Penelope and said, "He better start with I'm an ass, or Hotch will be walking out of there with a limp."

Penelope looked at JJ and couldn't fight the laugh that bubbled from her throat.

Hotch looked at Emily and asked, "May I sit down?"

Emily shrugged and said, "Free country."

Hotch sat down and ran his hand down the front of his tie.

Hotch sighed and said, "I'm sorry."

Emily at the same time said, "We need to talk."

Emily motioned for Hotch to go first.

Hotch said, "Emily I'm sorry."

Emily said, "Good. You should be."

Emily then said, "I'm sorry too."

Hotch asked, "What are you sorry for?"

Emily looked down at her hands and said, "For making this just about me. I know this is a scary time for you too."

Hotch took Emily's hands and said, "Emily this is harder than you think. I know you can take care of yourself, and I know you will do everything in this world to take care of our baby. But cut me some slack here."

Emily raised an eyebrow and asked, "How much slack are we talkin?"

Hotch chuckled and said, "Not quite enough to hang myself."

Emily nodded and said, "I can do that. Now this me not being out in the field, is not fair."

Hotch sighed and said, "I know. Keeping you at the precinct all done long must have driven you crazy?"

Emily said, "You better thank your lucky stars I have Pen in my life. She talked me out of killing you."

Hotch kissed Penelope's cheek and murmered, "Remind me to send her flowers."

Rossi, Morgan, Reid, JJ, and Penelope were in the precinct's meeting room, waiting for Hotch and Emily to show up, so they could quickly debrief and head home. They had all been at the precinct for well over 12 hours and were beat.

Morgan murmered to no one in particular, "Why can't any of these psychopaths dump bodies, where I don't have to go on a damn hike."

Rossi chuckled and said, "I'll put out a memo, that Morgan is getting old and needs for bodies to start showing up in easier places to access."

Derek flatly said, "Thanks for that smart ass."

Hotch and Emily walked into the room.

Hotch walked over to the evidence board and started placing pictures in front of locations.

Reid helped direct where the photos should go since he and Rossi were the ones that talked to the morgue, and found out the identities of the bodies.

Next Rossi placed photos of the appropriate weapon with the right victim.

Derek and Reid drew lines that intersected each other. From the location of one dump site to all the others, in a pattern.

Finally Penelope and Emily filled in the blanks.

Emily and Penelope found a few connections between some of the victims.

Emily said, "Most of them attend the same gym. A few of them went to the same coffee shop. There was nothing that they all shared. Well nothing we can find on record."

Derek asked, "What do you mean?"

Penelope said, "Well what if they belonged to the same support group."

Reid asked, "You mean like AA?"

Penelope shook her head no and said, "Not necessarily. I looked at the medical records of all of our victims. They all had some sort of procedure done at the same hospital."

Rossi raised his eyebrows in curiosity."

Emily said, "They all had a hysterectomy."

JJ asked, "So you think this Unsub is going after infertile women?"

Emily tilted her head and said, "I'm not sure. But from what I could tell, they all opted to have the procedure done to avoid ovarian cancer."

Reid said, "I get it. So the victim goes to see their doctor and is told that they have a very high percentage of getting ovarian cancer, so instead of waiting, they decided to remove the ovaries instead."

Penelope said, "Exactly my heap of gray matter."

Hotch said, "Good work everyone. Now let's go home and get some sleep. Garcia in the morning I want you to go through the medical records again, and see if they all had the same surgeon, or surgical nurse, anyone that the women could have all run into at the hospital."

Penelope took notes with her fluffy pen and said, "Got it Hotch."

Hotch turned his attention to JJ and said, "I want you and Rossi to interview the families again. See if you can find out if any of them belonged to a support group."

Rossi and JJ both nodded and started to pack their things.

Hotch then looked at Derek and said, "Morgan you and Prentiss take the information Penelope finds and head to the hospital. Interview anyone in the hospital to see if they noticed any unusual activity in the last few months. Also Garcia cast a wide net and see if this has happened in any other neighboring states."

Penelope quickly wrote again in her little notebook.

The BAU silently and quickly packed to leave for the evening.

Hotch said, "Everyone be in at nine a.m sharp. We have a lot of ground to cover and little time."

Derek said, "If the Unsub sticks to his M.O we are looking at another body in the next 24 hours, and another abduction shortly afterwards."

The lead detective came in the room and said, "See you guys in the morning."

Hotch said, "We're delivering the profile tomorrow. I would like you to call a press conference tomorrow."

The detective asked, "What time?"

Jj said, "After four, but in plenty of time to make local news stations."

The detective nodded and said, "I can do that. Anything else?"

Hotch said, "Nope that should do it."

The BAU left the local precinct and headed towards their homes.

As always read and review!

So to be honest I have been avoiding writing a love scene like the plague, but another fanfiction writer gave me some advice and she has convinced me to take a stab at it again. So I guess be prepared for some lovin in the next few chapters.
