Sorry for the lack of updates life got in the way, apologies, however, there'll be a double update today, to make it up to everyone who is reading!
Drum roll please... And the father is...
...
Emily hovered over the crib, watching Anna peacefully sigh in her sleep. The pair had been home for two days and things had been a little tense between the adults of the house, especially in the middle of the night during the three am feed.
Will was overcompensating, and constantly at the brunettes side. It was sweet, the former profiler thought with a small smile, at first. Now, as she felt his presence behind her all she could think about was telling him to go for a beer or watch TV while she took a shower and had some alone time with her daughter.
Maybe that was the problem, Prentiss mused. She was still thinking of Anna as only her daughter. Not their daughter.
Feeling his arms wrap around her waist, Emily leaned her head back onto his shoulder and sighed. "We're going to make this work, right?"
"I want too. I hope it all works out." Will answered truthfully, his eyes flickering down to the baby as she moved in her sleep. "You should get some rest while Anna sleeps."
"I love you Will." Emily whispered as she turned in his hold.
He kissed her briefly before relinquishing the slightly smaller woman from his arms. "I love you too, Em."
"Will. I know it hasn't been easy. You've been conflicted, we both have. But we're a family." Emily stopped speaking as he brushed his hand against her arm.
Stilling the ambassador's daughter, Will smiled as he settled his wife's doubts. "We are a family and it's going to stay that way. I got a little scared that things weren't going to work. But I'm not giving up on us. This will work out Em, I promise. Now go and get some sleep. I'll be here if Anna wakes."
Nodding, Prentiss reluctantly left the room, pausing at the door to watch Will smile down at the baby in the crib.
Not bothering to change out of her day clothes, Emily's eyes fluttered closed the moment her head touched the pillow.
...
Will stopped the car outside of her apartment building, his gaze kept landing on her with a glint of humour on the edge of his smile. "You got wasted at my two year old son's birthday party."
"No, I'm not wasted. I'm just at that stage." Emily whispered as she slapped the male's thigh while her free hand undid her belt.
Shaking his head, Will picked up her handbag of the floor of the car and gave it to the tipsy profiler. "And what stage would that be?"
"You know, everything's a little more brighter. Like your eyes." Prentiss covered her mouth quickly as she realised she was flirting with her best friend's partner.
"Emily." Will warned quietly, feeling their hands touch as he passed her the black slouch bag.
"I should go." Emily stated slowly, opening the door with her free hand.
Sighing, Will tugged her back into the car seat. "Emily, I don't want things to be awkward. We're both a little off tonight."
"What's wrong?" Prentiss asked in concern, seeing the hesitation in the younger man's eyes.
Shaking his head, Will straightened in his seat, finally taking his eyes off hers dark chocolate eyes. "Nothing I should be talking to you about. Your JJ's best friend, I don't want you to be put in the middle."
"I thought everything is fine between you two, you both looked so happy today." Emily stated with a slight frown, thinking over the familial scene at Henry's birthday party.
Shrugging, Will flashed the agent a half smile and lowered his head. "I wouldn't take things at face value. JJ and I want very different things."
"I'm sorry." Emily replied sympathetically.
They smiled at each other briefly and before the profiler knew what she was doing their lips connected softly. The kiss soon intensified and unconsciously she found herself climbed onto his lap with her back pressing into the steering wheel.
Panting, Will felt her hands slip under his jumper as the brunette shifted on his lap. Pressing a kiss to her lips, Will stilled her hands and met her lustful eyes with a wanting glare of his own. "We should stop, this is wrong."
"Oh God, what are we..." Emily began to shake and pulled herself of off him and back onto the seat. Without meeting his eyes again, Prentiss mumbled her apologies and quickly left the car.
Closing his eyes, Will sighed deeply and took the keys out of the ignition. He was a taken man, he had JJ and Henry at home, but that one kiss with Emily had just confused the hell out of him and all he wanted was to make sure the visibly shaken profiler was okay.
Jogging after the fleeing brunette, he caught her just before she closed her front door. Grabbing Prentiss's wrists, Will backed her into the apartment and grinned as he heard a throaty moan escape her lips as they began kissing once more with heated fervour.
...
Will shifted into bed behind her. His body instantly pressed into her back with his arms resting on her stomach. Prentiss smiled warmly in her sleep, her mind still dreamily drifting over past events.
The results of the paternity test were due any day and she could tell things weren't going to instantly go back to normal. She should never have had slept with Rossi, it was one stupid night after a fight with Will.
But as soon as Will had returned from Pennsylvania, life had been fine. Then she found out she was pregnant and things instantly got messy again. The profiler had planned to tell Will at Rossi's New Year's party but that quickly changed.
...
Emily was grateful Rossi was too busy mingling with his guests, so she didn't have to talk to him, when she quietly slipped into the large house owned by the wealthy agent. Quickly walking into the kitchen as she avoided the older profiler, the brunette noticed JJ, Hotch and Reid in the corner of the living room with the two little boys while Garcia and Morgan were happily dancing in the middle of the floor.
Kevin was pouring Garcia a drink in the kitchen next to Will but the technical analyst quickly excused himself as Prentiss joined the pair.
"Hey, do you want a drink." Will asked politely, looking over the brunette's shoulder at JJ laughing at something Jack was telling her.
Shaking her head, Prentiss smiled with a flirty glint in her eyes. "No thank you. Do you want anything?"
His gaze flickered down the dress that was painted onto the brunette's body. "I can think of one thing."
The party was getting busier and no one seemingly noticed the pair sneak off up the stairs to one of the many bathrooms. Pushing the door closed, Prentiss gasped as his mouth attacked her throat while his fingers unzipped the back of her dress. "Will, I need to tell you something."
"Can it wait?" Will grinned mischievously as he dropped her dress to the floor.
Nodding, Emily chuckled as they began to kiss passionately once more. Pressed against the wall, their minds were lost in the intimate contact when the door flung open haphazardly and they saw Morgan quickly excused his presence with wide judging eyes.
...
Prentiss's eyes slowly opened upon realising Will wasn't in bed anymore. Sitting up slightly, she patted down her wild brunette hair before moving the duvet so she could get out of bed. The sun was up and she could here Will and Anna in the living room.
Catching his eyes as the profiler wandered into the room, she smiled warmly at the sight of Anna cradled in his arms. Pressing a soft kiss to his lips, Prentiss instantly frowned as his gaze fell to the table.
Seeing a brown envelope, Prentiss looked into his solemn eyes and sighed. "Have you opened it?"
He shook his head and placed Anna into the bassinette lovingly. "I didn't want too without you."
"Okay." Emily smiled thinly and picked up the letter. Slowly she opened the envelope and unravelled the paper. Scanning the document, she felt the tears swell in her eyes.
Pressing a hand to her shoulder, Will sighed and kissed the top of her head as he read the results. "Now we know."
"I guess everything can get back too normality now, right?" Emily asked him quietly, watching the southern detective nod before he kissed her deeply.
"Everything is going to be good. We're a family." Will smiled reassuringly. "You should call Rossi and make sure he knows."
"Will, your Anna's dad. You're my husband." Prentiss stated with wide eyes.
Picking up the oblivious infant, Will kissed her forehead and sighed. "Yeah, but Rossi's her biological father."
"No matter what, we're a family remember?" Prentiss confirmed hopefully.
Nodding, Will smiled again before leaving the brunette alone to make her phone call. "Always."
...
Are you happy, sad, don't care who the father is? I went with the majority, so hopefully most of you liked the outcome. Drama is not over quite yet, let me know what you think!
Shout outs are coming!
