Thanks for the great reviews, I absolutely love them! This chapter actually has some sweet stuff in it, opposed to the usual angst :) I don't think I will be able to update at my usual pace tomorrow because I have a suprise party planned for my friend :D but expect one on friday.

I do not own Criminal Minds

Hotch took another breath in. He felt in so many ways that he was failing this team. He hadn't been able to help any of them. Instead he had stood to the side and watched them fall apart. He walked into Emily's room and saw her with her head down. Hotch glanced over to Morgan who shook his head.

"Emily?" Hotch asked.

Emily shot her head up and looked at him. In that split second before she had time to cover it up her eyes showed so much pain and fear.

"They are going to try to treat her with medication and that usually works," Hotch told Emily.

Just as he had, she went to the worst case scenario. "And if it doesn't?"

"Then she will require heart surgery. But you can go see her now," He added hoping it would lift her spirits.

Her eyes brightened at the information, and she looked around the room, "Where's JJ?" She asked.

"Umm," Hotch was at a loss for words. What was he supposed to say? Finally he decided with, "She needed to get some air."

"I want her to come," Emily said soberly.

"I'll go find her," Morgan volunteered. Hotch nodded and Morgan stood up. He left the room and walked down the hallway Hotch told him she went down. He didn't see anyone except for a single nurse reading a chart as she walked down the hall. He turned the corner and was glancing into windows of empty rooms to see if she had gone there. When finally it seemed Morgan had checked all the halls and rooms around Emily's hospital room, he walked outside.

There he saw JJ sitting on a bench in the grass. Her head was bent down and her blonde hair fell across her back. Morgan walked over and sat down next to her. JJ glanced over to see who on the team had found her. She knew that she wouldn't be able to find solace with the whole team here.

Morgan just sat silently next to her and put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her in. He knew during this whole ordeal; from Bates to the baby, JJ had been most affected, other than Emily that was. JJ sat rigidly staring at the beautiful grass.

"If anything happens to Emily or that baby, it's my fault," JJ said continuing to stare down.

"JJ this is not your fault, and it has never been," Morgan turned himself so that he was facing her.

"The doctor said it was the stress that caused this. The stress from when I got shot."

"Maybe it was. But JJ remember that was when you got shot. That wasn't your choice. It was that bastard's who is so insignificant that I don't even remember his name." Morgan turned JJ so that she was now facing him.

"I should have been here."

"We were on a case. It is not your fault you couldn't be here," He said sternly. Ever since the beginning JJ had been blaming herself for what had happened, "Now you can sit here and dwell about things that you had no control over, or you can go back into that hospital to a woman who needs you right now. She has the chance to see her child, but she won't do that until you are with her."

"Really?" JJ asked.

"Yes. Now let's go," Morgan stood up and JJ followed. He kept his arm around her as they walked back through the hospital. It was in the moment that they got back to Emily's room and he saw their looks that he understood. The feelings that something else had been going on now made sense. Morgan smiled at the two women and walked over to Hotch, Rossi, Reid, and Garcia.

"You figured it out, huh?" Garcia asked him.

"You already knew?" Morgan was astonished.

"It doesn't take a profiler to figure it out. They kind of suck at hiding it," Garcia gave a small laugh.


The entire BAU team walked down the hallway together. Emily, Garcia, and JJ walked together first. JJ and Garcia were helping support Emily despite her argument that she was fine.

The men all walked behind them.

"You did good Morgan," Rossi told him.

"No," Morgan shook his head, "They did good." He nodded his head to the women in front of him.

Finally the team arrived outside of the NICU. They looked in and there was Emily's baby. She was lying down with tubes attached to her. On the outside of the crib it read: Baby Prentiss.

Emily knocked on the door of the NICU and a nurse opened it.

"Are you Emily Prentiss?" The nurse asked.

All Emily could do was nod. She was in awe at the sight of her baby.

"We've been expecting you," The nurse opened the door. She then glanced over to the group of people she had in tow with her. She couldn't help but admit it was a strange looking group. And it really was. One woman was in a hospital gown and another in neon clothing and accessories. Another woman and two men were wearing suits. One man was wearing a polka dotted tie with a blue shirt. And lastly there was a pretty attractive man wearing a long sleeved brown shirt. That's when her eyes glanced at the guns. She didn't want to know.

"I'm sorry you can only have two people in the NICU with you."

Emily glanced around her. "Go on," Rossi motioned the three women into the NICU, "We'll be okay."

Emily immediately walked over to her daughter. "The machines?" She asked the nurse.

"They are just to monitor her breathing. Other than the blood vessel she seems to be a very healthy little girl."

Emily couldn't help but loose her breath when she saw her tiny face. She was beautiful. Emily put her finger out and her baby grasped it. "She has a strong grip," Emily smiled.

Garcia and JJ both oohed and awed over the cute little baby.

"Here," The nurse said, "Let me check these machines quickly, but I think you may be able to hold her and bring her out to the rest of your friends for a few minutes."

Emily grinned at the idea of getting to hold her. It seemed as though the baby was staring straight into her eyes.

After a few moments the nurse came over and detached the machines from her, "Her breathing is normal so I'm going to let you hold her."

After the machines came off the nurse picked her up and gave her to Emily. Emily felt tears of happiness spring to her eyes. This was her baby!

The nurse looked over and saw the four men trying to see through the window. "You may take her outside for a little bit. I will be right here if you need anything."

"Thank you," Emily smiled again. With her baby in her arms she walked out of the NICU. She was met by the men who were trying not to show how excited they were.

"She's all you Princess. From her looks to her determination. All you," Morgan told her.

The others agreed. "She's so tiny!" Reid exclaimed.

JJ looked at the grin on Emily's face and couldn't help but grin too. This baby was the most beautiful thing any of them had seen in a very long time.

"This is going to be the safest and most loved little girl in the world," Garcia commented when she noticed all the profilers gaze of admiration towards her, "She's going to have FBI protection everywhere. And me to monitor everyone who comes into contact with her."

"And don't you forget that Princess," Morgan said, "You two always have us."

Emily's grin stayed plastered on her face. Not an ounce of it was fake.

"All I've been hearing is your baby. Or daughter," Rossi noted, "Do you have a name picked out yet?"

Emily had been thinking about this for quite a while now. "This," She gazed down to her beautiful little girl, "Is Jennifer Garcia Prentiss."

Awww :) I hope you enjoyed, and I would love to hear what you think!
