The next morning
JJ woke up hearing her phone beeping; she had slept more last night then in the last two weeks. She grabbed her phone so that it wouldn't wake up Mia before looking at the message she turned over to see Will asleep with Mia laying on his chest. She started giggling as she looked at her messages.
"Just got in and heard your message. Call me when you get up I had one message from you and three from PG a little worried. Em."
Before getting up and calling Emily she took a picture of Will and Mia. When Mia started to stir, JJ slowly picked her up letting Will get more sleep.
JJ went to the living room sitting on the couch she hit the button for Emily's number.
"Hello" a small voice answered
"Hello" JJ answered
"Hi Aunt JJ" Jack
"Buddy, why are you answering Emily's phone." JJ smiling, she wasn't the only one keeping a secret
"She's in the bathroom. Did you know I get to play with Henry today?" Jack
"Who told you that?" JJ asked
"My dad, when he told me I couldn't tell Emmy about you know who?" Jack whispered
JJ started laughing; the kid was smart "You're keeping the secret too."
"Yes, here comes Emmy." Jack
"Hello" Emily
"So are you explaining why you're at Hotchs and Jack is answering your phone." JJ asked
"Umm I told you I was worried and if something was wrong Hotch would tell me." Emily trying to sound like she meant it
"I might believe you if you hadn't started out with Umm." JJ
"You suck" Emily laughing
""Are you going to Rossi's?" JJ asked
"Yeah, I guess the beans will be spilled there" Emily
"How about you come here first?" JJ
"Ok, I'm sure Jack and Henry would love to get an early start on playing together." Emily
"Henry is with my mom and Rossi already, he spent the night. But" JJ started, seeing Will come down the steps
"But what" Emily
"Sorry, I think Will is trying to distract me by walking around with no shirt on." JJ
"Isn't that how you got in the condition your in." Emily laughing
"You're so funny; I think I remember someone encouraging me to have another one." JJ
"Well, that's because the first one turned out so cute." Emily
"He did didn't he. Wait until you see your goddaughter, she would like to finally meet you." JJ told her
"What? You had the baby and your waiting until now to tell me." Emily almost yelling
"The day after you left, which is why I left the message." JJ laughing
"So the whole team knew, including Aaron." Emily
"Yeah and Jack they both came to the hospital to see her. But, everyone knew I wanted to tell you." JJ
"I'll be there in ten minutes" Emily
"Okay, we'll see you then." JJ laughing as she hung up.
She turned around to look at Will, who was still half asleep
"Emily will be here in ten minutes. I am going to dress Mia and myself, you should go back to sleep for a little bit." JJ
"Jen, I swear I don't know how you've been doing it for the last two weeks." Will
JJ stood up with Mia and started up the stairs with Will following behind.
"What do you mean?" JJ asked
"I mean she's awake every fifteen to twenty minutes, no sooner did I close my eyes she was awake again. The only time I slept longer than that was when you needed to nurse her." Will as JJ was changing Mia
"Thank you for last night and for calling my mom. I needed both and tonight I'll take her so you can sleep." JJ as she gave him a kiss
"How about you do half the night and I do the other half?" Will suggested
"That sounds like a plan, but you can go back to sleep." JJ smiling at him
"I'll be fine." He told her as they walked back into their room.
"You sound like me. You might want to get dressed I would say that Hotch and Jack are coming too" JJ laughing
"Did I miss something?" Will
"Oh, we all did." JJ smiling

Ten minutes later
Will opened the door to Emily, Hotch and Jack.
"Well, did you finally decide to show up?" Will as he was hugging Emily
"Yes, and they won't even tell me what you named the baby." Emily
"I like my life. You have seen JJ fight and shot a gun before right." Hotch
"She put me under strict orders not to say a word. She is the only one allowed to tell you." Will told them as they walked into the living room.
"And where is she at" Emily
"Someone was hungry. They'll be down in a minute, anyone want something to drink." Will asked
"Uncle Will where's Henry" Jack asked
"He stayed with his Nana last night, but he will be at Rossi's. You can go play in his room if you want." Will smiling at Jack
"Can I hold the baby later?" Jack asked
"If you can get her away from Emily and sit on the couch." Will
"You are funny." Emily
They watched Jack run towards Henry's room as JJ was coming down the stairs.
"Hey Jack" JJ
"Hi aunt JJ, can I hold her before Emmy." He whispered to her
"Sure come on." JJ whispered back
"I thought you were going to play" Hotch asked
"Not yet" Jack told him as he sat on the couch next to Emily
"Are you ready?" JJ asked
"Yes, please" he was smiling
"He outsmarted Emily." Will as he watched JJ put Mia in Jacks arms.
JJ looked up confused
"Will told him he would have to get her away from Emily." Hotch
"Okay so do I get to know her name now" Emily asked looking at Mia
"Depends" JJ answered
"On" Emily
"Do I get a Hello?" JJ laughing
"I am sorry of course you do." Emily getting up to hug JJ
"Thanks." JJ
"Okay you can have her back" Jack told JJ
"Thank you" JJ as she was picking up Mia
"Emily, meet Mia." JJ as she was handing her to Emily
"Mia" Emily asked
"Yeah, Mia Nicole" JJ smiled, she knew that Emily understood the meaning of her name
"I thought Will was naming the baby since she was a girl." Emily
"I did, it was one of the names I had picked out when JJ was pregnant with Henry. Then she reminded me of the meaning of it now." Will told her
"Someone want to share the meaning" Hotch confused
Emily looked around to make sure Jack wasn't in the room
"I told you that I played scramble with JJ when I was supposed to be dead." Emily
"Right" Hotch
"When JJ went back to the BAU, Will and I played scrambled while she was on a case." Emily
"Em's screen name was Mia Cher, so I would know who she was." JJ told him
"You named her after Emily without naming her after Emily." Hotch
"Yeah" Will
"Nicole is after my sister." JJ told Hotch
"She looks like Will. Is her getting curly?" Emily
"I think so." JJ
"We should get to Dave's" Will told them
"Okay, I need the diaper bag and our bag they're in our room." JJ told him

An hour later
Everyone was at Dave's laughing and having a good time. JJ watched as the guys played football with Henry and Jack, Mia was being passed around from one person to the other. Garcia was asking Emily how long her and Hotch had been together. When she started crying JJ knew she was hungry.
"I think someone is hungry." JJ getting Mia from Garcia
JJ walked into the house, finding the room she knew Henry slept in when she spent the night. She was relaxed enough for Mia to start nursing right away. There was a small knock on the door.
"Jen, its mom." Sandy
"Come in" JJ
"I just wanted to check on you." Sandy told her
"I am a little better today. I made a deal with Will last night and he got up with her so I got some sleep." JJ told her
"Good. You're also not giving fake smiles out today." Sandy
"Yeah, I am sorry about that. Henry had asked me about swimming with him today and I started getting self-conscious." JJ explaining
"Jen, you don't have to explain." Sandy
"Will was right for calling you and yes I told him he was. I really wish you would stay." JJ
"I told you that I would stay until you needed me too." Sandy
"I mean for good mom." JJ
"Baby girl, I know but it's still hard to think about giving up the house. Your daddy and I raised six kids in that house." Sandy
"I know I want that for Henry and Mia." JJ
"We can talk about it later. Let's get back out there." Sandy
/
After eating
"Mommy can I swim now" Henry asked JJ
"Let's get you changed and your jacket on." JJ told him
"Jack is getting his trunks on but he doesn't have to wear a jacket." Henry
"I know and after you learn to swim we'll see about the jacket." JJ
Sandy had Mia while Will was talking to Rossi and Hotch
"Mom, I am going to go change Henry" JJ
"Go ahead, I have her." Sandy smiling
JJ walked in the house as Jack came running out of the bedroom
"Jack make sure you tell your dad." Emily
Henry started pulling on JJ's arm
"Hurry mommy" he told her
"Okay" JJ smiling at him
She had put his trunks on and life jacket before Emily came out of the bathroom.
"Go let daddy know you're ready." JJ told him
"Are you swimming with me?" He asked
"No, daddy is" JJ
"But, I want you too." Henry whined
"I'll think about it." JJ told him
"Okay" Henry as he went out of the room
JJ turned around to see Emily and Garcia staring at her.
"What?" JJ asked
"Why are you not swimming?" Garcia
"Because I had a baby two weeks ago." JJ answered
"Really that's the reason why" Emily
"Yes" JJ
"You could barely tell you were pregnant and you look amazing." Emily
"And even better your boobs look great." Garcia
JJ shook her head "I can't walk out there in front everybody in a bathing suit. Thank you both for the complements and I don't think my boobs will fit into any bathing suit."
"JJ, really you look amazing. Put a shirt on over your suit if it will make you feel better." Garcia told her
"Garcia's right" Emily
"Let me put my suit on and see how it looks." JJ
"You have to let us see too." Emily
JJ rolled her eyes and went it the bathroom. When she was in her suit she looked in the mirror, she wasn't going out there.
"Come on J let us see." Emily
"No way" JJ from the bathroom
"Come one we will tell you the truth." Emily
"I can pick the lock or have Morgan bust down the door." Garcia
"Fine, get in my bag and find one of Will's shirts." JJ
She walked out of the bathroom
"Wow" Garcia
"I don't like you anymore. You just had Mia and other than your boobs you couldn't tell" Emily
"My stomach looks bad and my boobs are too big." JJ, ready to cry
"I'll give you the boob thing, but everything else looks great." Emily
Before JJ could answer Morgan opened the door
"Sorry, I didn't think you were in here." Morgan
"Just go" JJ, feeling self-conscious
"Okay, but I have to say even for my sister JJ you look hot." Morgan as he closed the door.
"Put the top on and let's go." Emily
