A/N: The baby's here! Hooray! I've always loved the name Emma and I guess writing gives me a chance to use it. Although it does make writing a bit tough when the mum's name is Emily and the baby's is Emma. Little confusing.

Ok so same drill: R&R please!

DISCLAIMER: I don't own Criminal Minds. Or cute little, dark curly haired babies.

"It's a girl!" JJ cried out, running into the conference room. She hadn't been able to take Emily's call during the press conference announcing that they'd caught the unsub, but she'd called her back as soon as she'd walked out of the station. The guys were busy packing up the paperwork and looked up when she burst through the door. Morgan's face lit up and Reid smiled. Rossi walked over to JJ and looked over her shoulder as she read out the message. "Emma Grace Preston. Born February 15th, 2011 at 3:37pm. 7 pound, 3 ounces. 21 inches long…. Awww look at the photo," she gushed.

The guys crowded around her and looked at the photo Emily had sent. The little baby, with her dark curly hair and long eyelashes, was the spitting image of her mom. "Mom and baby doing well. Mom's exhausted but can't sleep. Must watch small child. Incredible. P.S. Don't tell the guys I said this but OUCH!" JJ bit her lip as she looked up at the guys. "Ok, don't tell her you guys read that last part," she said. They laughed, both at JJ's reaction and at Emily's admission. She had always been the queen of the understatement and, apparently, child-birth was no different.

Hotch smiled when he saw the photo. The kid had definitely hit the jackpot. She had Emily's hair and eyes. Even as newborns go, Emma was beautiful. Hotch couldn't help but smile. He cared for Emily and was truly happy. She seemed happy, why wouldn't she be, so he should be happy for her. Granted, in the back of his head he was still wondering why it couldn't have been his baby that was making her so happy, but he pushed those thoughts and feelings aside. They weren't appropriate. She was married, and now had a child. She had the chance to be happy. And Hotch wasn't going to get in her way.

Emily looked down at her little girl. She was beautiful. Even though she was still only a few hours old she had thick curly black hair and the cutest little button nose. Emily reached her hand up and brushed her fingers through her hair. "I love you so much sweet girl," she whispered.

Emily looked up when she heard the door open and close. She watched as a hand pulled back the curtain and smiled when she saw her husband. "Hey honey," she said quietly. He held out a bear from behind his back and Emily grinned. She shuffled over in the bed and Peter sat down beside her. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders and reached over to run his hand over his new daughter's head. "She's beautiful isn't she?" Emily said quietly. Peter smiled and nodded. "Just like her mom," he whispered back. Emily looked up at him and smiled. He leant forward to kiss her gently.

"I sent a message to the team while you were gone. They just wrapped up a case in Tulsa so I thought this would be just the news to cheer them up," she said as she gently place Emma in the crib. Peter stood up quickly and nodded. "Great," he said, under his breath. Emily frowned. She didn't know what it was that made him so uncomfortable whenever she mentioned the team, but he tensed up every time.

Peter turned and tucked the bear in Emily's overnight bag. She would be staying there one more night so he'd brought her some clothes to change into and some new pajamas. He stood up again and walked over to the crib. "I'm going to have to go. I've got a flight early tomorrow. But I'll be home tomorrow afternoon to pick you up," he said quickly, leaning over to kiss his wife. Emily ran her fingers through his hair and nodded. "If you don't make it back in time, don't worry too much. Dad called to say he and Natalie would fly out in the morning so they should be here in time to pick us up," she said. Peter nodded and looked at the floor. "Ok. I guess I'll see you tomorrow. Either here or at home," he said quietly. Emily smiled as he leant over the crib to kiss their daughter goodbye. "I'll see you tomorrow honey," she said as she watched him walk out.

A/N2: Ok so this was basically showing Hotch putting his thoughts from the Christmas before into action, wanting to be supportive and be a friend to Emily, regardless of his feelings towards her. It was also the place where Peter starts to see that the team will always be in Emily's life and where he starts to feel like she doesn't need him. She's got the team and her own family, so he starts to feel helpless. Without spoiling too much. I hope. Oh well. Won't be long before the shit hits the fan.

Please R&R! I love it when you do.
