Disclaimed!

Happy Monday!

Let me know what you think.

...

Prentiss strolled out of Rossi's office with little apprehension about her next priority. Stepping down into the bullpen, she headed towards the kitchenette, where JJ and Garcia were sipping coffee.

Taking a deep breath, the brunette profiler took a few steps forwards so she was in the analyst's eye line.

"I'm leaving the BAU." Prentiss blurted out, seeing the surprised expressions on both of the women's faces as they both turned towards her in silence.

Garcia scrunched her eyes and put her cup of coffee down. "Emily, are you sure that's what you want?"

Nodding, the brunette smiled and pressed a hand to her stomach. "It's definitely what I want. I think it's time."

"This whole thing is insane." Garcia shook her head. "What are you going to do next?"

"I'm going to have the baby and be a mom for a while. I'll be going on maternity leave soon, and I'm only going to be in the DC field office until then." Prentiss explained confidently, noting JJ had remained quiet.

The technical analyst also noticed her friend's silence and stepped forward, hugging Prentiss quickly. "I hope you're happy and find what you're looking for. I know a lot has happened and I might not forgive you for what you've done, but this is still your team."

Smiling, Prentiss faced the media liaison as Garcia left the kitchenette, to probably to tell Morgan the latest developments. Sensing JJ edging away, the profiler reached out, touching the blonde's arm faintly. "I know you're the one who talked to Will. I can't imagine how difficult all of this is for you, but thank you sending him back to me, last night."

"Hotch was the one that called the cab. I just told Will, what he already knew." JJ replied stoically.

Prentiss nodded and looked down at the ground nervously. "JJ, I know I hurt you, but one day, even if you still don't like me, I hope you can forgive me."

"I hope everything goes well with the baby." JJ smiled thinly and backed away to her office, leaving the brunette to her thoughts.

A little while later, JJ was sat behind her desk when Rossi slowly walked into her office unannounced and sat down in the guest chair with a huff. "So Prentiss and the guys are saying their goodbyes, seems like she'll be gone by the end of the week."

JJ nodded and continued with her highlighting. Sighing, Rossi puffed his lips impatiently. "But today is never ending, huh kiddo?"

JJ eyed him knowingly and pursed her lips. "When you told me about Prentiss's pregnancy it was to spite her, wasn't it?"

"Partly. I was a little pissed off." The profiler admitted with a nod.

JJ placed her pen down onto the file and watched the profiler closely. "Hotch told me what happened earlier. Are you okay?"

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you about what happened with me and Prentiss." Rossi answered sheepishly.

Shaking her head, JJ could see a hint of pain, in the older man's eyes. "That was none of my business and don't worry, I haven't told anyone about it. I'm sorry you're upset."

"I'm not..." Before he could finish his sentence, JJ's eyes glared at him disbelievingly. "I'll be okay. What about you, are you okay?"

"Will left me a voicemail, apologising for last night and asking for a meeting, apparently he has some more news." JJ rolled her eyes, remembering her ex's hung-over slur.

Raising his eyes, Rossi smirked. "You're not getting any breaks, are you?"

"I'll be fine. I have to be right?" JJ chuckled cynically.

"Well don't worry, JJ, things aren't as bad as it seems. You have Henry, your job and that idiot of a unit chief in his office." Rossi smiled mischievously, the spark between the teams' two single parents, hadn't gone unnoticed by any of the team.

Frowning, the liaison sat back in her seat defensively. "What does that mean?"

"You can't fool me, Jareau. I'm David Rossi, acclaimed profiler and author." The profiler grinned as he stood and headed towards the exit.

"Watch yourself Agent Rossi, that door is far too narrow, for both you and your ego." JJ quipped instantly as her colleague chuckled while leaving her office.

"Dave!" JJ called out as he disappeared around the corner.

Slowly, the elder agent walked back into the office with a confused expression. "What?"

"If the baby is yours, don't let them take it away from you." JJ stated sincerely, then smiled warmly as Rossi nodded as he turned back out of the office.

Seeing his salt and pepper haired man enter the corridor once more, JJ chuckled as he yelled back. "I'm a stubborn, old man JJ. I don't give up without a fight over nothing never mind my own flesh and blood."

Looking at the closed door, the liaison sighed and reluctantly picked up her phone. Opening a new message, JJ typed in a time and her office, then found Will's number to press send.

Looking at the Blackberry nervously, JJ mused that if the news was Prentiss leaving the team or arranging a time to see Henry, she could cope, but if there were more mistresses or kids out there, well she had her gun in the desk drawer.
