I do not own Criminal Minds

Emily walked up the steps to her supervisor's office. Nervously she picked at her fingernails. She wished she had taken JJ's offer to come with her. But Emily decided she needed to tell Hotch herself. She stood in the doorway and hesitated. Rossi was sitting in the office with Hotch. She wasn't expecting this, but she had made her choice. She knew if she didn't tell them now she might chicken out. Emily couldn't understand why she was so nervous. Maybe she was afraid of what he would think. Or that he would be angry. But it was more than that. As much as she hated to admit it this whole thing terrified her. Finally she was able to push those feelings down and knocked of the open door.

"Come in," Hotch said, him and Rossi looked up from their paper work.

"Hey Hotch and Rossi," Emily said.

"Hello Prentiss," Hotch replied offering her a seat.

Emily took the seat to be polite, even though she would much rather be standing.

Emily looked down at her feet, "There's something I need to tell both of you. Well actually the whole team."

Both Hotch and Rossi immediately noticed her demeanor, she was nervous and they didn't know why. Both men quickly started profiling her as discreetly as possible. "What's on your mind?" Rossi asked.

"I know I should have told you this sooner, but it was just… I just couldn't. Not then." Emily mumbled.

"What is it Emily?" Hotch started to worry.

"I'm pregnant." Emily answered bracing herself for their anger.

"Emily, why didn't you think you could tell us that?" He asked.

"I don't know, it's just… " She trialed off, "Never mind."

"How far along are you?" Rossi asked.

"A little over two months," Emily answered.

Two months, Hotch and Rossi both thought simultaneously. That was when… oh. Everything suddenly became clear. It was Bate's. Both men stared at her. Waiting for anything really.

Emily looked up at them, "It was just a lot to handle at the time. And because of the circumstances, and because," She sighed, "Because,"

"Emily, you don't need to go into detail." Rossi told her, "We understand."

"Have you seen a doctor?" Hotch asked, as usual he was all business.

"I saw the doctor yesterday and she doesn't want me working in the field doing anything dangerous until the baby is born." Emily answered.

"Of course," Hotch answered, "For all of our cases when you feel okay working, you can just stay at the station and work on the profile. And we can discuss your time off when we need to."

"Thank you Hotch." Emily said grateful.

"Emily, if you need anything," Rossi started, he then reached over and put his hand on her shoulder, "This whole team is here for you. For anything, at anytime."

"I know Rossi, thank you."

Hotch nodded at Emily as she stood up. She left his office feeling a little better than she did earlier. But she kept in mind that she still had two more people to tell. God, it shouldn't be this hard, she thought. And the truth was if her baby wasn't also Bate's it wouldn't be.

"What are you thinking?" Rossi asked, looking over at Hotch.

"I'm thinking I wish that son of a bitch wasn't dead, so I could do it myself." He answered.

Rossi nodded his head in agreement, "I'm with you on that one Hotch. Just remember, this doesn't have to be all bad."

Hotch looked over at him, it was obvious on his face that Hotch had no idea what Rossi was talking about, "Was I the only one profiling there? Did you not see her nervousness, her fear?"

"Emily's pregnant, yes it's Bate's, but that part doesn't need to be focused on. Of course this is hard for her, but as a team we need to help her."

Hotch saw where Rossi was coming from and nodded.

"But we will need to keep an eye on her. She is going to need a lot of support now. And you know how Emily is; she will probably refuse it." Rossi added.

Emily walked down the stairs and met JJ at the bottom.

"How did it go?" JJ asked.

"It was fine. They understood." Emily said in monotone.

"Em, what is it?"

Emily gave up on keeping things from JJ a while ago, "I just, they already know I was raped. Isn't that enough? Didn't this 'man' do enough? Now I have to go around and re- advertise to the team how weak I am."

JJ opened her mouth to say something, but Emily stopped her before she could, "I know, I know, 'I'm not weak,'" She mocked what JJ was about to say, "God, you're a broken record!"

JJ just stood and looked at the brunette.

Emily looked over at JJ and their eyes locked. Inside her friends eyes, Emily saw hurt. And she realized she was the one who had put it there. She hated seeing it there, and was so ashamed of herself. She was hurting so she took the opportunity to give her pain to the one person that she fully trusted.

"Oh god JJ, I'm so sorry!" Emily urgently apologized.

JJ continued to just stand there. She had nothing to say.

"Please JJ, I didn't mean what I said!" Emily pulled the stunned blonde into a hug.

At the close contact JJ realized what was going on. "It's okay Em," She said into her friend's ear, "It's okay." She put her arm on Emily's back.

"I'm so sorry; I know you are just helping." Emily said back, a tear slipped down her cheek. JJ pulled out of the hug although she wanted to stay in the warm embrace forever.

"Why am I crying?" Emily asked in utter confusion.

JJ smiled at her confused friend, "its hormones Emily. The sudden anger, then the sadness those all come with being pregnant." JJ took a strand on Emily's hair and played with it.

"You mean this is going to happen a lot?" Emily gasped astonished, and angry.

"Hormones are a bitch," JJ answered the question using those words.

"Oh, god," Emily groaned, "These are going to be some rough months."

"Tell me about it," JJ laughed.

Emily laughed back and quickly wiped the tears off her cheeks. She would need to concentrate more on keeping her emotions in check. Especially in the office.

Emily glanced around the office and saw Morgan and Reid sitting together playing a computer game. "Jayje will you come with me to tell Reid?"

"Of course!" JJ and Emily walked together toward the two men.

"Looks like your paper work is going well," Emily said behind them. Both men jumped and turned around. They hadn't realized she was there. In their moment of shock the airplane they had been flying crashed to the ground.

"Emily! You crashed our airplane!" Reid whined.

"I think you'll get over it when Hotch comes down and sees your playing games instead of working." Emily smiled.

"Fine," Morgan pouted, but turned his computer screen back to Microsoft Word where he had been writing something.

"Reid there's something I wanted to tell you," Emily said.

"Yeah?" He asked looking around the room.

Morgan also turned back around; he wanted any excuse not to do his paper work.

"Well, I'm pregnant." Emily said bluntly.

Reid stared at her wide eyed, "Oh, well that's… um, that's…"

"This is a good thing Reid… I think." Emily told him. She could tell he was confused about how to react.

"Oh well then congratulations," He stood up and hugged Emily, "If there is anything you need just ask, like I can help you with your paper work if you want." He offered.

"That's a dangerous thing to offer boy genius," Morgan warned him.

Emily glared at Morgan, "I'm really starting to wonder how you ever get any girls."

"It's all these good looks," Morgan gloated, but then he stood up from his desk, "But I am glad I get to congratulate you formally." He then hugged Emily. "And I was joking before, if you need anything I am here too."

"Thanks guys," Emily smiled at both of them as she pulled out of the hug with Morgan, "Now I just have one more person to tell."

The four of them exchanged glances.

"You might want to get prepared." Morgan offered Emily some advice.

Emily nodded and she and JJ made their way to Garcia's lair.

I hope you enjoyed the chapter! I want to thank Kat-D11 again for all of the help! Don't forget to answer my question and write other comments :) Thanks!
