I don't know if you guys have realized this yet, but I'm kind of a people pleaser. I asked for your thoughts on JJ and Emily's relationship and got a variety of answers. I wish I could make everybody happy, but I know thats not going to happen, so I can only hope that you will continue reading if it doesn't go where you like. And I thank you for commenting! This chapter is more of a lighter one, and I am guessing the next one will be too :) I hope you guys have a great 4th of July!

I do not own Criminal Minds

When the two women got out of sight of Reid and Morgan Emily twisted her hand into JJ's. JJ smiled and grasped the rough hand back. Together they made their way to the other woman of the BAU's lair. Emily knocked on the door with her free hand, and they heard Garcia hustle to the door. The second it was opened Emily dropped her hand out of JJ's. JJ felt a pang of hurt, but she understood.

"Oh Deary!" Garcia exclaimed to Emily. She quickly ushered the pair into her computer filled room.

"Hey Garcia," Emily said meekly.

"Morgan told me you were in the hospital again! You've got to stop doing that! I hate seeing anyone of you guys hurt! Do you think it's easy for me to just sit here while you guys go out and almost get yourself killed? Oh, your nose! What happened?" Garcia rambled.

Emily waited until Garcia had that out of her system until she answered. She knew she owed Garcia a huge deal of explanation. Her promise to tell her about Bate's had been dropped, and she knew Garcia wouldn't bring it up again. "My nose is broken." Emily said.

"Oh!" Garcia gasped.

"Garcia, you should have seen what Emily did to the unsub," JJ smiled, "She knocked him unconscious."

"What world has this come to that knocking someone unconscious is a good thing?" Garcia exclaimed, but she still flashed Emily a thumbs up and a smile.

"A pretty crappy one," Emily answered Garcia's rhetorical question, "But you have gotten your wish."

"What wish?" Garcia asked confused.

"I'm out of the field for a while." Emily answered. There was still a small feeling of anger about that matter.

Garcia had never once in her career at the BAU seen someone voluntarily step out of field work. No matter how much she was glad her friend was going to be safe, she couldn't help but fret over the reason. "Why are you out of the field?" Garcia asked cautiously.

Emily knew this was coming, this was even the reason she had come, yet the question took her off guard. Emily glanced over to JJ who gave her a nod of encouragement.

Garcia noticed the small exchange between the two agents, "What aren't you guys telling me here?" She exclaimed feeling out of the loop.

"Garcia, I'm really sorry I didn't tell you this earlier. I even just told Hotch and Rossi and Reid." Emily said.

"Just told them what?" Garcia felt as though she would explode if Emily didn't just tell her what was going on.

Emily obviously didn't feel the same way. She wanted Garcia to understand why she was just finding out now. She knew the technical analysis could be fragile and sometimes take things personally that she shouldn't. "After Bates had… "Emily started over, "After I got back and was in the hospital, I was so overwhelmed. I couldn't even imagine telling everybody what I am telling them now."

"Please Emily just tell me before I have a heart attack!" Garcia interrupted her friend.

"Okay. I'm pregnant." The sentence came out as more of a question than it did an actual statement.

"Oh Emily!" Garcia squealed and pulled her friend into a tight hug, "I thought this was going to be bad news, the way you were drawing it out and everything." Suddenly Garcia paused and pulled out of the hug. She held Emily's shoulders in her hands and held the agent out at arm's length.

"Is this good news?" Garcia asked suddenly.

"I think so, yes." Emily answered.

"Oh thank god!" Garcia pulled her back into the hug. "I'm so happy for you! I can't believe there is going to be a little Prentiss!"

Emily and Garcia ended their hug, but Garcia still had a lot to say.

"Do you know if it is a girl or a boy?" Garcia asked.

"The doctor isn't able to check yet. I might be able to find out in a few months." Emily informed her.

"Oh I know exactly what we need to do!" Garcia squealed again looking between JJ and Emily, "We need another girl's night! We can discuss everything then."

JJ and Emily both nodded in agreement, "That sounds great."

"One problem," Garcia made a small frown, "My apartment is being fumigated."

"Where have you been staying?" JJ asked.

Garcia's frown turned into a devious smile, "The one and only Derek Morgan has let me room with him a few days."

"Gar-ci-a!" It was now Emily and JJ's turn to exclaim.

"I know, I know," Garcia said with a smile still plastered on her face, "And I don't think a girls night at Morgan's would work well."

"Then we'll have it over at my house," JJ offered.

"That sounds great!" Garcia was excited; she already had plans running through her head.

"Let's go to the bullpen and see when Hotch will let us out." Emily suggested.

The three BAU women left Garcia's computer lair and made their way up to the bullpen. When they entered it they saw Hotch was at Morgan's desk. Reid and Rossi could be seen snickering in the background.

"I think Morgan just got busted for playing video games instead of working." Emily snickered, and JJ and Garcia joined in. They walked over to where Reid and Rossi were. Then they all walked over to Morgan and Hotch. It looked like Morgan was done receiving a speech from Hotch. Morgan saw Reid laughing and loudly whispered, "You're just lucky I didn't rat you out Pretty boy."

Reid then looked sheepishly around the room making the rest of the team laugh even louder.

"Hotch did you have any more work for us?" Emily asked her boss.

"Well even if I did, I doubt any of it would get done." Hotch glanced and Morgan and Reid this time. This got another round of laughs from the rest of the team, "You guys can head out for the night."

"Thanks Hotch." Emily said.

"Hey Morgan I won't be over 'till late," Garcia winked at him, "We are having a girls night at JJ. But be sure to wait up for me," She flirted.

This received a few glances from the other men of the team that didn't know the back story.

"No! You guys Garcia's apartment, its being fumigated," Morgan tried to explain.

"Sure it is," Emily said faux doubting his claim.

"No really! She is just staying over until its okay to stay at her own place!" Morgan defended himself.

"Oh so that's how it's going to be?" Garcia fake gasped, "I thought you were different than that Derek Morgan, but you're just like all other men!"

Morgan was at a fault for words and confused. The woman smiled at their successfulness to set up Morgan.

"Well we better head out," Garcia looked between Emily and JJ. They both nodded in agreement. The three of them walked out and left the baffled FBI agent Derek Morgan behind them.


Hotch had been examining Emily in the few minutes she was in the bullpen, he didn't want to admit he was profiling her again. She looked and acted happy. It was as if her emotions had drastically changed since she talked to him and Rossi.

"You noticed it too?" Rossi walked over to Hotch.

"I don't understand. Earlier today she was nervous and jittery, but now she is laughing and well she's happy." Hotch stated baffled.

"After three failed marriages I can answer that statement with complete confidence. I'm surprised you don't remember this during Haley's pregnancy with Jack. It's called hormones."

Thanks for reading! And I would really appreciate it if you would comment! :D
