Disclaimed!
So at the moment, Prentiss is pregnant but only Will knows, Hotch isn't allowing Will to talk to JJ, JJ is not talking to Garcia and Morgan because they knew Will and Prentiss had hooked up at a party. Garcia's not talking to Prentiss because she lied to her, Prentiss is avoiding the team, the team are avoiding Prentiss, Rossi, Morgan and Reid have been kinda absent, because in my fics they usually are, and JJ's basically pissed off but trying her best to keep it together.
.drama.
And there is still more to come!
Let me know what you think.
...
Garcia switched on the light in her liar as she slowly walked into the office the Friday morning after yesterday's revelation in team briefing.
Kevin closely followed the eccentrically dressed woman into room with walls full of screens, his hands holding her handbags and coat. "So, Will and Prentiss have been sleeping together since before New Years?"
"I guess since September." Garcia replied half-heartedly. The blonde smiled thinly as she watched her boyfriend for three years organised her belongings in the room.
Kevin sighed. "God, poor JJ"
"She doesn't want our sympathy, Kev. I honestly thought she was going to disown me yesterday." Garcia sighed as she switched on her beloved machines.
"Why didn't you tell her about Rossi's party?" Kevin cringed as the BAU analyst stopped what she was doing, and faced her partner.
Fixing her steely gaze on the taller man, the frustration the blonde had at herself beginning to surface. "I told you, because JJ was actually happy. In the six years I've known her, Will's the only man that's lasted more than two months and he's Henry's father. I didn't want Henry to not have both his mommy and his daddy."
Kevin placed his hands in his corduroy trousers. "But it was okay for his daddy to be a worthless cheat?"
"Will's always been a good father, Kevin. He's a lousy boyfriend but a good dad." Garcia reasoned apathetically.
The male analyst slowly crept up to Garcia's side and placed his hands on her waist. "Are you going to talk to Prentiss today?"
"I'm planning to avoid her with ninja expertise." The blonde smirked sadly.
Kevin kissed the top of his girlfriends head. "She's still on your team though."
"I'm angry at her. She lied to me. They both did, to my face. They should count their blessings that I'm not wiping their existence off the face of the earth." Garcia stated through gritted teeth as she lingered closer towards her partner's touch.
"How is JJ?" Kevin tilted his head as he searched his girlfriend's eyes for an answer.
Garcia bit her lip guiltily and shrugged. "She's stayed in Hotch's guest bedroom again last night. I think she'll be there until she finds a place of her own. I know she was going to pick up some things up from the house tomorrow, but she doesn't want me to go with her. She really doesn't want me to go with her."
"She's hurt, she'll come back around." Kevin soothed as the shorter woman pulled away from him to enter the password on the computer.
"I don't know if I could." Garcia muttered seriously.
Kevin raised an eye as Garcia shot him a warning glare. "What does that mean?"
"Ever cheat on me Lynch, and your time on this lovely planet would be nigh." He chuckled until he realised Garcia was not joking, then slowly backed out of the room to get them both a cup of coffee.

As the technical analysts got themselves situated in the Quantico office; Hotch, Rossi, Reid and JJ were in DC continuing with their previous case.
Morgan had left to get some sleep, while the others carried on from where they left off the night before while Prentiss was at her desk in the BAU bullpen reading consults.
In the DC police station, Reid and JJ were looking over the board, plastered with the case information, while Hotch and Rossi sat at the square glass table, reading over files.
Hotch looked up from the call sheet he was holding, towards Rossi's uncertain gaze. Hotch raised his eyes, indicating that the elder should speak whatever was on his mind. "Listen, I know what Prentiss did was awful and JJ has every right to be pissed but I didn't think you'd keep them this separated."
Hotch sighed at the determination on the older man's face. "It was Prentiss's decision not to come with us."
"You benched her." Rossi accused instantly but bit his tongue as Hotch shot him a warning glare.
The unit chief placed the file onto the desk and looked behind the elder man to see JJ and Reid were in deep conversation. Leaning in, Hotch breathed out slowly. "Dave, have you got something to say?"
"An affair isn't illegal. Prentiss made a mistake, Will was the one..." Rossi began to reply but was cut off by the younger profiler's head nodding.
"Will is just as much to blame as Prentiss, I know. JJ said she could remain professional and so did Prentiss, but she wanted to stay behind. Morgan and Reid are coping fine without a fifth profiler, JJ is doing her job as she always has done and if we actually needed Prentiss's help, she's in the office with our technical analyst." Hotch stated calmly.
Rossi glanced behind him and kept his voice low. "I just didn't think you'd take sides."
"JJ came to me Dave, and yet she didn't want me to know that it was Prentiss who she found in bed with her boyfriend. I am JJ's friend and I'm still Prentiss's friend but it was Prentiss who made her mistake, that affected the dynamics of our team and if I'm honest, yes I'm on JJ's side." Hotch admitted quietly and flashed his old friend a look of disbelief. "The only reason you're having a difficult time blaming Prentiss, is because you've been in her position before."
"Emily is a good agent, Aaron. She doesn't deserve to be treated this way because of a personal blunder." Rossi responded directly.
Hotch shook his head in disagreement. "A personal blunder would be a one night stand, a five month affair with your best friend's partner who you just so happen to work with, is reckless and spiteful."
Rossi leaned forward so there was little space between the two men. Clasping his hands together, Rossi's gaze fell to them as he spoke. "Now that JJ knows, it's probably over between Prentiss and Will and everyone can move on. Speaking from experience, people can easily move on with their lives without even thinking of that Southern dirt-bag. Wife number two did just fine."
"Dave, I'm pretty sure Prentiss is staying with Will. They just want to talk to JJ first, which I'm not letting happen right now. She needs time." Hotch replied softly as he watched JJ approach the table to ask them a question about the case. Standing, Hotch left the older profiler staring as they dealt with a complication that had apparently occurred.
Reid slowly came to the table and hovered by the elder profiler as Hotch and JJ discussed an issue about the scheduled press conference near the doorway. The young doctor cleared his throat as he watched his colleague stretch up as he stood. "Do you think the team is ever going to get back to normal?"
"Honestly, I'm pretty sure things can only get worse." Rossi warned with a raised eye.
