Chapter Three

*I own nothing, except all my mistakes* Thank you to everyone who's reviewed, I really appreciate it!

It had been five months since JJ and Morgan had their chance meeting, Five months of spending every waking moment of their free time together. JJ couldn't remember a time she had been this happy in a relationship. JJ wasn't really the type to believe in true love or fairytale relationships but she was slowly started to come around to the fact that sometimes, when you weren't looking good things or rather good people can and do come your way. It was great to be able to spend time with Morgan after getting back from a gruesome case, and she'd imagine it was the same way for him given that their careers were so similar. Morgan had even been getting along with her friends and co-workers, especially Penelope and Spencer Morgan and Spencer seemed to have developed a really cute big brother, little brother dynamic and Pen and Morgan had developed a fun, flirtily yet deep friendship that if JJ were a jealous person she'd be worried about. Come to think of it the only two Morgan didn't seem to have a connection with were Emily and Hotch. Before JJ could dwell on it, Morgan came in from the bedroom, holding two glasses of wine.

"You never told me what we were celebrating, Morgan. You know I hate surprises." JJ said as she excepted the glass from Morgan's outstretched hand.

Morgan just winked at her as he took a gulp of his drink. "Today, my dear, marks six months since that fateful day we met based on our mutual need for coffee."

JJ nearly spit out her drink. Had it really been that long? It felt like just yesterday. "Oh wow. I can't believe it's been that long."

Morgan laughed. "You know what they say baby, time flys when you're having fun." JJ shook her had at him in exasperation.

"Here." Morgan said, handing her a gift wrapped in purple. "I got you something." JJ took the box, feeling guilty she hadn't got him something in return.

"Open it, Jenny. I hope you like it." Morgan watched as she opened his gift to her. He had thought long and hard about it when he realized just how long they had managed to keep their relationship going. Morgan wasn't much better than JJ at the whole relationship thing but Morgan knew a good thing when he found it and Jenny was a good thing, no she was a great thing.

"It's a key. You got me a key? Morgan, are you being sappy and trying to tell me I have the key to your heart?" JJ asked with a laugh. At his wounded look, she almost apologized for offending him. JJ just hadn't thought he was the overtly sappy time.

"No, Jenny. I'm not that saccarhine just yet. While it is a key, it's a ket to my apartment. I was wondering if you'd like to take a step with me, and move in with me. " Morgan said, nervous. He'd never asked a woman that question before. Morgan valued his personal space and he knew Jenny did too.

JJ was shocked. First, she hadn't realized it had been six months and now he was asking her to make even more of a commitment. What shocked her the most was that she wanted to say yes. JJ realized then that she was in love with him.

"Morgan, before I say yes, I have to tell you something that I just realized and I want you to try not to freak out." JJ said very seriously.

Morgan looked slightly uncomfortable. What could she have to tell him that would cause him to freak out. Oh no. She was pregnant. He wasn't ready for children. Living together was one thing, children was a whole other business. Morgan knew he loved her, but kids, he wasn't so sure about just yet.

"JJ, I'll admit, I'm shocked and it'll take me awhile to get used to it, but I'm positive we can make this work." Morgan said pulling his girlfriend in for a hug. He thought the best course of action would be to put on a bravado for her benefit that he was not feeling.

JJ was confused. She hadn't even told him yet and he was hugging her and saying the weirdest things to her.

"Morgan, stop. I haven't even said anything yet." JJ said. Morgan looked at her and forced a bright smile on to his face.

"It's okay, Jenny. I know. You don't have to keep it a secret anymore. How far along are you?" Morgan asked and was met with laughter.

"Jenny? I don't think this is a funny subject. It's a baby. Our baby. I'm trying really hard not to freak out here. " Morgan said, unnerved by his Jenny's continuous laughter.

"I'm not pregnant."

"You're not? Are you sure?"

"Positive. I was going to tell you that I realized that I was in love with you but if you'd rather I were pregnant..." JJ trailed off.

Morgan pulled her into a kiss. "I'm so happy you're not pregnant. Not that there's anything wrong with pregnancy per say.." Morgan trailed off and JJ laughed again."But we're not ready to even think about that yet."

Morgan nodded in agreement. " I love you too, Jenny. More than I've ever loved anyone. You're something new for me."

JJ smiled widely. "Is that a good thing or a bad thing?"

Morgan smiled back. "It's a very good thing, darling."

Emily quickly pulled her pants back on, following with her bra and shirt. She then glanced over a her bed partner and sighed. They had slept together on and off for three months now. It was anything romantic, more of a comfort than anything. She had tried to comfort him one drunken night and he had tried to forget his feelings for a certain blonde and then they were going at it.

"Hotch, it's been six months. I think this is the real deal. Unless you're willing to make a move, I think you're going to just have to let it go." Emily said to her boxer-clad boss. She didn't want to hurt his feelings but really, unless he let her know how he felt, there wasn't any use in wallowing like he was doing. Either fight for her or let it go. That's what Emily would do anyway.

"I know you're right Emily, I just know she doesn't feel the way I do, and even if she did I wouldn't want to ruin what she has with Morgan. They seem really happy." Hotch said, regret filling her voice. Hotch knew he should forget his feelings for his Media Liaison, especially now that she was happy with another man. Not only that, he was sleeping with Emily. He felt guilty for the longest time using Emily for sex and companionship, until she frankly told him he wasn't using her anymore than she was using him.

"Well, if you aren't going to do anything about it, I'd advise you to make nice with Morgan, like I'm going to do. If you don't want to try for more with JJ, you might want to be nice to her boyfriend if you want to keep your friendship intact. " Emily said wisely. She'd noticed JJ sending odd glances her way when she made little effort to get to know Morgan. It wasn't that she didn't want to. She was sure she could find something in common with the dark attractive man, it's just, she didn't want Hotch to be the only one acting standoffish towards him.

Hotch sighed. Emily was right. It seemed Emily was always right lately.

"Okay. You win. I'll get to know him. You're right, if I can't have her they way I'd like to, I'll be more than happy to settle for her friendship." Hotch said throwing Emily a friendly smile.

"Glad to see we're on the same page. I'm going to head out. Early day tomorrow. Have a good night, Hotch." Emily said kindly before she walked out the door, presumably back to her home. Hotch layed back on his bed, wondering how he ended up in love with one colleague and sleeping with the other. He had become David Rossi.
