"Something is going on Hotch, I can't quite put my finger on it, but that is NOT the Emily Prentiss I knew 3 months ago" Morgan looked out through Hotch's office window and looked at Emily working at her desk.

"She has been on the ball in every case for the last 3 months. There is nothing else to suggest that there is something wrong with her, other than she has been overly efficient during the last cases" Hotch replied.

"Come on man. Did you see what she did to the last unsub? The guy got his leg blown off and his nose was broken, now I've taken down and rough housed my share of unsubs, but is that something you would expect out of Emily?" Morgan commented.

Hotch remained silent. Morgan wasn't sure if he didn't have anything to say on the matter or if he was thinking.

Morgan sighed. "I don't know, there is just something off about her. She just isn't herself" He turned to look back at Hotch.

"For now there is nothing that proves anything is wrong" Hotch replied back, Morgan was about to interject "however… if you start to see signs of instability that could be detrimental to her well being, keep me posted. The last thing I need is another Gideon or Elle." Morgan's shoulders slumped, defeated for now in the concern of his partner. He nodded reluctantly and made his way out of the office, eyeing Prentiss as he made his way back to his desk.

He accidently bumped into JJ along the way. "oh hey… sorry, I wasn't looking". He was thrown of his train of thought. JJ smiled back, "it's alright, I have an announcement, could you get everyone into the conference room?" Derek nodded as JJ continued to walk over to Hotch's office.

JJ POV

I didn't know how it happened. Actually I did know, but how it led to this I couldn't quite explain. I was thinking more and more of breaking it with Will, it wasn't really working, I just didn't see it working in the long run. He was a gentleman, and he would be a great father, but I didn't see my love as being unconditional for him.

A week and a half ago, I missed my menstrual cycle and next thing I knew I was frantically rushing to the drug store and staring at a pregnancy stick in the public washroom. I wasn't sure if I was ready for this, sure I wanted kids, but I didn't want them with Will.

A week ago I made an appointment with my doctor to confirm the news, and now I was in the conference room about to tell my family and closest friends that I was pregnant.

Will was more than ecstatic. Maybe he felt that I was slowly drifting and thought that this would seal the deal. That I was indefinitely going to stay with him, I had to admit I couldn't think about what it would be like to raise a child on my own, let alone with the job I had. It was just all happening so fast, but I had to stay calm. I had to organize and do what needed to be done. First I needed to make sure my work was taken care of, as scared as I was, I had to be responsible, I couldn't let the team down because of my mistake.

I shifted side to side nervously as everyone settled in the conference room they all had curious expressions on their faces, knowing this didn't have to do with a case.

I forced a smile as they all gave me their undivided attention. "As you may all know, this meeting doesn't have to do with a case, but because I have something very important to tell all of you." I paused trying to gauge all of their expressions, they all wore different levels of curiosity in their eyes.

I breathed in, my voice sounding loud amidst the silence. "I'm pregnant" I tried to place the most convincing smile I had after the announcement. Derek, Rossi and Penelope both smiled. Of course they would be happy for me. Hotch, was well Hotch, he wore a slight smug smile on this face, calm as he always was. My eyes quickly glanced over to Emily. She looked like a statue, her expression was blank, but it looked like her mind was running a mile a minute. Her eyes made contact with mine, and she quickly blinked and smiled back at me. Penelope was out of her seat and was about to give me a hug, my eyes were still on Emily and I could read her lips mouth 'congratulations' but her eyes said something else. Before I knew it Derek was giving me a big hug and everyone's voices were drowned together as cheers of congratulation filled the room.
