A/N- Okay so JJ is pregnant here (I would say about 3 1/2 months….)
ENJOY….
"Hey honey, I think its time we told my parents that I'm pregnant." JJ said one afternoon, while lying on the couch wrapped in Emily's arms.
"Are you sure you're ready for that?" Emily asked pulling JJ a little closer.
"I think so. I mean the team knows and it's not like I'm going to be able to keep it a secret for much longer." JJ smiled as she put her hand on her slight baby bump. It was barely there and if you didn't know she was pregnant you would never even notice it.
"I know, but it was different with the team. I mean they knew what happened. Your mother is going to kill us when she finds out." Emily said placing her hand over JJ's.
"Well it's not our fault dad didn't want to tell her."
Flashback…
Emily sat there holding JJ's hand until she fell asleep. She stood up and gave JJ a gentle kiss on the cheek before she left the room. She found Hotch and Morgan sitting on a bench outside the room.
"Hey, how is she?" Morgan asked jumping up to give Emily a hug.
"She's… I don't know she's upset, she's angry, she's hurt and she's…" Emily broke down and Morgan pulled her into another hug.
"Hey it's going to be okay." Morgan said trying to offer Emily some comfort as she continued to cry into his chest. "JJ is strong. She will pull through this, you'll see."
Morgan placed a kiss on Emily's head and Emily nodded her head. She let go of Morgan and wiped her tears away.
"There is going to be dark times ahead Emily but you are strong and you will help JJ get through this." Hotch added once Emily had calmed down. "She loves you and you love her and right now that is all that should matter."
"Thank you Hotch." Emily offered a tired smile. Emily took Morgan's hand and gave it a squeeze. "And you are right Morgan JJ is strong, she will pull through this. I'll make sure she does."
"That's my girl." Morgan smiled.
"I'm going to go call her parents."
"Do you want one of us to do that?" Hotch asked.
"No, I think it would be best coming from me." Both Morgan and Hotch nodded their heads in agreement and Emily turned to find some place quite to call Tom and Angie.
"Hello?" Tom answered the phone.
"Hey Tom, it's Emily." Tom could hear the pain in Emily's voice and immediately new that something wasn't right.
"Hey honey, is everything okay? Did something happen?"
"Actually yes. You might want to put Angie on the phone."
"Well Angie's not home right now she had to run the store. Emily what happened, is JJ okay?" Tom asked starting to panic. Emily took a deep breath before answering.
"We are in Louisville, and JJ's in the hospital."
"Oh
my god, what happened?"
"Yesterday our unsub kidnapped her and…"
"Yesterday?" Tom yelled into the phone. "And why are we just finding out about this."
"I didn't want t worry you until there was a reason to worry."
"A reason to worry? I would say our daughter being kidnapped is a reason to worry." Tom spat back. He was pissed and Emily could tell.
"I'm sorry Tom, but the last thing I need right now is a lecture. I just spent the last 24 hours desperately trying to hold it together long enough to find her so that I wouldn't have to call you and tell you that your daughter was dead! I'm sorry if calling you wasn't at the top of my priorities list during that time!" Emily snapped back at him, struggling to hold back her tears. Once again Tom could hear the emotion in Emily's voice and he knew that she was right and he felt bad that he had yelled at her.
"You're right Emily, I'm sorry. Is JJ okay?"
"She took a pretty good beating; she has a couple broken ribs and a concussion, but luckily no serious injuries."
"Thank goodness. Can I talk to her?" Tom asked.
"She's asleep right now; the doctors said that she needs her rest." Emily sighed and that is when Tom knew there was more. "Tom I need to tell you something else too. JJ was raped."
"Oh no not again." Tom said as tears began to fall down his face. Tom felt his knees go weak and he decided he better sit down.
"I'm afraid so." Emily answered, now with her own tears running down her face. "He raped her. That bastard raped my girlfriend!" Emily cried into the phone.
"Emily, sweetie, breathe. Breathe sweetie." Tom pleaded into the phone. Emily was on the verge of hyperventilating. "Come on Emily, just breathe." They both sat there on the phone in silence as Emily tried to control her breathing.
"She looks so lost Tom, I don't know what to do." Emily said through the crying as she continued to work on controlling her breathing.
"Emily you listen to me. JJ made it through this once, she will make it through it again and this time she has you to help. You have to be strong for her."
"I know Tom and I'm going to be. It's just seeing her in the bed all bruised and battered was the worst thing I have ever seen."Emily took a deep breath. "She's already tired to pull away. I love her and I just want to help, but I don't know what to do."
"Do you want me and Angie to fly down to Louisville tonight?" Emily thought for a minute before she answered. She wanted to say yes, just to be able to feel some comfort in Tom's arms, but decided to say no.
"No that's okay. The doctor said that she will be released tomorrow and then we will be flying back to DC."
"Okay, we'll come up this weekend." Tom told her. "And Emily I know that this is going to sound strange but I'm not going to Angie about the rape." The word rape caught in Tom's throat as he struggled to say it. The thought of some man with his griming little hands all over his little girl was killing him. "It nearly killed her the last time this happened. I don't think she could go through it again."
"What ever you think is best."
"It is and JJ will agree. She hated seeing her mother like that."
"Okay, I will tell her."
"Okay, tell her we love her and we will see her this weekend." Tom paused before continuing. "And Emily?"
"Yeah?"
"We
love you too and I'm sorry I yelled at you earlier." Fresh tears
began to fall as Emily heard those words.
"I love you too and don't apologize, I understand."
The next weekend Emily and JJ packed up their bags and headed for East Allegeheny to visit JJ's parents. They didn't tell them they were coming because JJ wanted it to be a surprise.
"I think I'm more nervous this time than I was the last time." Emily half laughed as JJ knocked on the front door. JJ laughed as she thought about how nervous Emily had been about meeting Tom and Angie for the first time.
"Just relax." JJ smiled, just as the front door open. "Surprise!" JJ yelled as her shocked mother threw her arms around her daughter.
"What are you two doing here?" Angie asked as she hugged Emily.
"We thought that we would come down for a visit. You know stay the weekend." JJ smiled.
"Oh this is so exciting." Angie beamed. "I'm so happy you're here."
"What's all the noise down… JJ, Emily what are you doing here?"
"They came for the weekend." Angie answered for them as Tom hugged both JJ and Emily.
"Well this is a nice surprise." Tom smiled. "How have things been?" Tom asked as the four walked into the living room.
"Good." Emily replied, sitting down next to JJ.
"Great actually." JJ smiled as she took Emily's hand. She looked over at Emily and decided that it was now or never. "Actually we have something we want to tell you."
"Okay, what is it?" Tom asked suddenly very nervous.
"Well first I think we need to tell mom something." JJ looked at her dad and he immediately knew what she was talking about.
"Are you sure?" Tom asked, not really wanting to tell her.
"Yes dad, I'm sure."
"What do you need to tell me?" Angie asked totally confused.
"Well you know just over three months ago when I was kidnapped?" Angie nodded. "We left a small detail out." Angie looked back and forth between JJ and Tom.
"What did you leave out?"
"I was raped." Just hearing the word made Emily cringe and she squeezed JJ's hand. Angie's eyes flew to Tom.
"You knew and you didn't tell me?"
"I didn't want to…"
"Our daughter was raped and you didn't tell me." Angie was pissed and tears were streaming down her face. "How could you? How could you not tell me?"
"Honey, listen to me. The first time was so hard on you and I didn't want you go through that again." Tom pleaded with Angie.
"You had no right to do that." Angie turned her attention to JJ and Emily. "Why didn't you tell me? I could have been there for you. I could've helped.
"I know that mom and I know that you are angry with dad but he only did what he thought was best."
"But you shouldn't have had to go through that alone."
"I didn't. Emily has been beside me every step of the way. Even on those nights when I tried to push away she never moved. Whether it was yelling or crying she took it all." Angie looked over at Emily and offered a weak smile. She was glad that JJ had someone as special as Emily.
"I still wish you
would have told me." Angie said as she wiped the tears from her
face. "I'm glad you told me now, but why the sudden change of
heart?"
"Because something else happened that day and
although it was a lot to take in at first it is something that Emily
and I are really happy about."
"What is it sweetheart?" Tom asked looking at JJ.
"You're going to be grandparents." JJ smiled. "I'm pregnant."
"Oh my, are you serious?" Angie asked as she jumped up from the couch.
"Yep. I'm 14 weeks along." JJ gave Emily's hand another squeeze. However, the next thing she knew she was wrapped up in her mother's arms.
"I'm going to be a grandmother." Angie cried as she continued to hug JJ; while Tom gave Emily a hug. However, in all the commotion it began to dawn on Tom what exactly JJ had said.
"Wait a minute, did you say that this happened when you were kidnapped? Is that piece of scum the father?"
"Yes." JJ said as she pried herself out of her mother's arms. "And I know what you are thinking, but this is something we have talked about and this is something that we both want." JJ said looking over at Emily.
"Tom, this was not a decision that JJ came too easily, but this is what she has decided and I'm standing by that decision 100 percent. We both want this. Obviously this is not how we would have planned it but it happened and in just over five months we're going to be parents."
"Okay, well if this is what you want then I'm happy for you." Tom smiled. "I'm happy for both of you." Tom gave Emily another hug, before turning to Angie. "See I told you that we would get those grandbabies after all." Tom and Angie laughed.
Later that night…
"I can't believe our little girl is going to have a baby." Tom smiled as he climbed into bed next Angie. JJ and Emily had long since retired; JJ was exhausted from the trip.
"I know." Angie said softly.
"What's wrong honey? You still upset that we didn't tell you?"
"No, I understand why you didn't and to be honest I wish I still didn't know. I just hate knowing that our baby girl was violated like that. It makes me sick." Angie said with tears in her eyes.
"I know it does. That's why we didn't tell you."
"I mean how can someone do something like that?" Angie began crying a little harder. Tom wrapped his arms around Angie's waist and pulled her a little closer.
"I don't know. I really don't know." Tom sighed. "But what I do know is that JJ is strong and she is not about to let this tear her apart. She has too much good in her life right now." He placed a gently kiss on Angie's head. "She had us, she has her friends at the BAU and she has Emily. Emily is not about to let JJ give up." Angie let out a sight chuckle.
"Well that is true." She said wiping the tears from her face.
"Plus she has something else to hold on to this time; our grandbaby." Tom smiled. "Obviously this is not how I would have liked to see it played out, but did you see how happy she looked when she told us?"
"She did look happy. They both did."
"Yes they did. That child's life my have started in the worst possible way, but it will the most loved child on the planet. I can guarantee that." Tom laughed.
"I think spoiled will be more like it." Angie smiled.
"You're probably right." Tom pulled Angie a little closer. "You know, we joked about it a lot but I never really thought we would have grandkids."
"Really?"
"Yeah and not because JJ is gay but I just didn't think it was something that JJ wanted; but then she met Emily and all that changed. I know that her job is still important to her but it kind of took a back burner to Emily. She has been good for JJ."
"Yes she has. You know JJ told me a several months back that she would quit her job in a heartbeat if came down to the FBI or Emily. That is something I never thought I would hear JJ say. With all her other girlfriends the job always came first."
"And I know that in my heart she will never do anything to hurt JJ. I don't think we could have asked a better girlfriend for our daughter." Tom leaned over and turned out the light before kissing Angie goodnight and drifting off to sleep.
Outside in the hallway Emily had to wipe the tears from her eyes. She hadn't meant to eavesdrop on Tom and Angie's conversation, but when she was on her way to the bathroom she overhead Angie crying. What she heard made her heart swell. She quietly made her way back to the guest bedroom and climbed into bed with JJ. She wrapped her arms around JJ's waist and pulled her close, laying her hands on JJ's belly.
"Did you get lost?" JJ teased as she relaxed into Emily's arms.
"No." Emily placed a kiss on the back of JJ's neck. "I love you so much Jennifer. You know that right?"
"Of course I do." JJ replied, her voice thick with sleep. "I love you too." JJ added placing her hands on top of Emily's.
