AN: Heyy guys. Well here is chapter 6. As I said in my last chapter (which was sooo long ago), I was going to have the next chapter as the team's thoughts, well I've done that but it was too long to put into one chapter so it'll just be this as Part 1 and the next chapter as Part 2. This chapter is for Bailee Neal, who is awesome. :D. So Enjoy. Luvya, Tayy,
Electric Feel
Ch. 6.
It had been almost 2 months since that case and it was Emily's first day back at the BAU. She hadn't seen or spoken to anyone from the BAU besides Morgan and Rossi, since the plane home. As she and Morgan stood patiently in the elevator she started to chew on her bottom lip in nervousness; Morgan noticing this, took hold of her hand and gave it a light squeeze. When the doors opened Morgan gave her a light kiss on the temple to reassure her. It would be the first time she would be surrounded by more than one man at a time.
Reid watched as Morgan walked in holding Emily's hand. Why was Morgan arriving with Emily? And why was he holding her hand? Reid thought. He hadn't seen Emily in almost two months and he'd thought she'd look, well, he didn't really know but he certainly didn't expect her to look "glowing", if someone could glow, which they couldn't. He waved giving her an awkward smile as she settled her stuff at her desk.
'Hey, Emily,' He greeted, as she smiled nervously her left hand uncharacteristically, resting on her stomach; that's when he noticed her stomach was slightly, bigger then usual. He didn't say anything for fear of upsetting her. He was grateful to see JJ come into the bullpen.
'Emily,' JJ said happily, as she approached Emily. She studied Emily carefully before pulling her into an unsure hug. Emily hesitated for a moment before hugging her back.
'How are you?' She whispered into Emily's ear. As Emily pulled back JJ noticed Emily smiling softly. JJ was happy that Emily was getting better she'd heard what happened the day after they got back, she'd rushed straight to the hospital with Garcia, of course but Emily had refused to see anyone except Morgan.
'Fine. Better now.' Emily said, her eyes glancing down happily to her growing stomach. As JJ's eyes travelled down to Emily's stomach she noticed with immense happiness that Emily was pregnant and JJ knew that the baby was Derek's and not a result of that case. She'd figured out they were together on the plane home, when Emily isolated herself form the team, only allowing Morgan to sit with her. It became obvious when Derek took two weeks off to stay with Emily. JJ pulled her friend into another light hug, whispering her congratulations. As they pulled back, Emily looked confused, but a glance at JJ and she knew JJ knew.
'Prentiss, can I see you in my office.' Hotch called a little while later, from his office door. As she left her paperwork, Hotch noticed how she looked to Morgan wearily and how the other agent nodded reassuringly. Hotch felt a pang of jealousy sweep through him, at the closeness of the two agents, but quickly banished it. As she entered his office and he went to close the door, he noticed Emily fidget nervously with the hem of her shirt, before deciding to keep the door open.
'Emily are you sure you are ready to be back at work? I don't want you to push yourself.' Hotch said sincerely as she nodded in understanding.
'Funny, that's what Dr. Bridges said. Though I assure you Hotch, I am perfectly capable to work,' Emily reassured hesitantly her boss, 'Although there is something I need to tell you Hotch.'
As he silently studied her, waiting for her to speak, he quickly worked out what she was going to say.
'You're pregnant aren't you?' He asked. She nodded faintly, smiling.
'Yeah, I'm 12 weeks along,' She said her smile growing into a full blown smile now.
'And the father?' Hotch had a fairly good idea as to who the father could be but he stilled wanted it confirmed.
'Derek. We've been together for 9 months now, sir.' Emily admitted as Hotch's desk phone rang.
'I see. You can go now, Emily. We will discuss this later though.' Hotch dismissed.
