A/N – ok so I had finished the story but found a bunch of one-shots that I had written afterwards so thought that I would carry on and post them, this first one is set around the season three finale...italics are scenes from the episode...

An Announcement –

JJ was looking forward to seeing Will, although things were still a bit strange between the two of them as they both adapted to the news that she was pregnant. JJ had yet to tell anybody her news which had been hard on her but until she got her own head around it herself she wasn't prepared to share. She had sat on her own on the plane, avoiding Garcia and Emily which had concerned her two friends but they had left her alone seeing that she clearly had something on her mind.

They were all absolutely shattered, it had been a long stressful day. Morgan had stormed off earlier after disagreeing with Hotch and Rossi had gone to check up on him. Garcia was still in her New York 'lair' sifting through CCTV footage to try and get them a lead. JJ was walking over to the reception to sort out the details of the rooms she had booked earlier when Reid tapped her on the shoulder.

"JJ."

"Will!"

"I took a shot and flew to D.C. The train ride was only another 3 more hours."

"Detective."

Hotch shook Will's hand, surprised to see him there.

"I'm sorry for showing up like this I know you're working."

Will looked deep into JJ's eyes.

"I can't stand you on this case. Not with what's going on."

Hotch looked confused.

"Is there a problem?"

JJ took a breath and finally plucked up the courage to say what had been on her mind.

"I'm pregnant!"

"Oh my god JJ, congratulations!"

Emily quickly moved to hug her close friend.

"I've asked JJ to marry me."

JJ moved away from her embrace interrupts Reid.

"Will."

"We're working out some kinks!"

"We'll give you both some privacy."

Hotch walked away from the group but JJ ran after him.

"Hotch."

"JJ you could have told me!"

"I know."

"Listen I understand if you need some time?"

"No I want to be here."

"Ok 7am."

Hotch walked away with Emily and Reid following him but JJ turned and quickly grabbed her female friend for another word.

"Emily, can you not tell Kate please, I want to tell her myself when we get back."

"Of course JJ, congratulations again."

Emily went up to her room and crashed out on the bed, she quickly checked her phone but the battery had long since died. After putting it onto charge she checked her messages and found the one that she was looking for.

"Hi mom. Hope everything is going ok. I got an A in my maths test so can you thank Uncle Spence for the help! Anyway Grandma wants me to go and have some dinner, take care and I love you, bye mom."

Emily smiled as she listened to the message, immensely proud of her daughter's maths result. Kate's education had been severely disrupted over the last 18 months or so and now she was at a top private school she was finding it hard to catch up. Emily glanced at her watch, 11.42pm, however much she wanted to speak to her daughter it was too late to phone, she made a mental note to phone and congratulate her first thing in the morning.

Emily was too tired to get up and change, she had managed to kick her boots off and dropped her suit jacket on the floor, her gun and badge had been carefully on the nightstand beside the bed. Emily's head rested on the pillow and her eyes quickly shut but the peace only lasted for a couple of minutes when she was woken by someone knocking at her door.

"Ok ok I'm coming."

Emily drowsily got off the bed, stopping at the door she peered through the spy hole and was surprised to see JJ standing there.

"JJ is everything ok, shouldn't you be cuddling up with Will?"

"Hey, I just needed a chat. Can I come in?"

"Of course."

Emily stood aside and let JJ walk in and watched her go and sit on the bed, shutting the door she then went and sat next to her friend putting a comforting arm around her.

"Hotch is really mad. I should have told him before, I should have told you all but this wasn't exactly planned..."

JJ took a breath while Emily sat there quietly listening to her friend.

"Will and I, well look at us, one in New Orleans the other in Quantico. I don't want to give up my job, I love it, but I also want this baby."

JJ stopped and looked at Emily, tears slowly dripping down her cheeks. Emily gently wiped the tears away with her thumb.

"JJ don't worry about Hotch, tomorrow he'll be fine, you just shocked him, and us! But in a great way, you are going to be an excellent mom I have no doubts about that. As for the rest, sweetheart you need to get your butt off my bed and go back and talk to Will!"

JJ nodded and gave her friend a hug.

"Thanks for listening Emily."

"No worries, you've done your fair share of listening for me! Now go and see your man, he'll be wondering where you are!"

JJ smiled and left Emily to crash out on her bed once again, hopefully for at least five hours sleep.

Emily's alarm went off at 6am the next morning, she had an hour before the team met and although she felt terrible after sleeping in her clothes and the first thing she wanted to do was jump in the shower for at least 30 minutes she knew what she had to do first. She dragged her tired body upright and reached for her now fully charged phone and hit the number that was programmed first in her speed dial list.

"MMmm...mom?"

"Morning munchkin, sorry did I wake you?"

"It's ok. What's the time?"

"Just gone 6am. Hey congratulations sweetheart, I got your message last night but it was too late to phone you."

"Thanks, I couldn't believe it, me an A grade student who would have thought it?"

"Hey Kate, stop putting yourself down, you're a very bright girl, you've just had a rough time lately."

Emily didn't want to say anymore, they both knew what had happened before and what had brought them together.

"Anyway I've got to go and get showered and changed. Take care sweetheart and I'll speak to you soon."

"Thanks mom. Take care please."

"Always Kate."

Emily finished the conversation, placed the phone back on the nightstand and walked slowly to the bathroom to take her long needed shower.

The plane felt eerily empty, what with Morgan driving Hotch back to D.C. Rossi and Reid sat together playing chess, while Garcia sat with JJ talking about baby names and pregnancy sickness. Emily found herself sitting alone, staring out of the window, thinking about the case and how close they had come to losing not just one but two members of the team. Emily checked her watch, hopefully they would be back in time to go and pick Kate up from school. Emily was too busy lost in her own thoughts to see JJ come and sit opposite her.

"Hey are you ok Emily?"

Emily quickly turned from the window slightly hurting her neck in the process.

"Ouch!"

"Well I guess that would be a no then!"

"Uh huh! Sorry JJ did you want something?"

"Yeah I was wondering if I could come and see Kate tonight and tell her my news?"

"Sure no problem. I'm going to pick her up from school after we land if you want to join me?"

"That sounds like a good idea. Thanks."

Emily pulled up outside the school, and saw Kate standing outside waiting for her ride home.

"Mom?"

Kate ran over to the car, surprised that it wasn't her grandmother picking her up.

"Hi munchkin!"

Kate hugged her mom as she always did when she returned from a case.

"Aunt Jen?"

"Hi Kate."

"JJ here wanted to tag along as she has got some news that she wanted to tell you."

"What is it Aunt Jen?"

"I'm pregnant!"

Kate squealed with delight and then ran around to JJ and hugged her tightly. Emily laughed as JJ managed to put Kate into the car and listen to the young girl talk about her day at school.
