London Calling Chapter 17

Disclaimer: Not Mine

A/N – Latest chapter. I think that I have maybe two more and then an epilogue and this will be finished.

Emily and JJ had only been in the BAU for a couple of minutes when Erin Strauss appeared. "Hello ladies. I assume you're awaiting the team's return from California?" She smiled at them pleasantly.

"Yes ma'am. We are." Emily confirmed, checking her watch once more. She was anxious for Derek's return.

This being the first time she had seen Emily since she left the BAU Strauss continued. "I understand congratulations are in order Emily, you have quite a few big changes coming your way."

"Don't remind her," JJ warned. "She's worried that Derek isn't going to make it on time to pick up his mom this evening and she'll have to do it alone."

"Oh he'll be here." Strauss assured the brunette. "I just had a text from Dave." She blushed slightly at that confidence. "Agent Jareau, I was wondering if I could have a word with you while we wait."

"Ma'am?" JJ looked at her in confusion.

"I have an opportunity that I would like to discuss with you." JJ, still not having any clear direction in what it was she wanted to do now that she was no longer affiliated with the BAU, nodded with interest. "Okay."

"Why don't you have a seat, Emily? I know that you no longer work here but you'll always be considered part of the BAU family. Especially now that you're carrying a next generation BAU member." She grinned. "I'd love to hear how the Ambassador took the news."

"You'll see her at the wedding." Emily laughed. "She'll be the one wearing a 'future grandma' brooch." She shook her head. "I'm actually afraid of what is going to happen when she meets Derek's mom."

"That's wonderful." The smile on her face supported her statement. "We'll just be a minute, I'm sure JJ is wondering what I have to say."

She wasn't the only one Emily thought as she watched them walk back to Strauss's office. She felt a slight ping that JJ's future was so undecided when she was the one that put it all in action, but then she knew that her friend had found true happiness in her personal life and that more than made up for it. She wandered over to Derek's desk and made herself at home.

She grinned at the framed sonogram of 'Baby Morgan'. He was such a goof. God she missed him. They had caught a break in the case early, but unfortunately the unsub was a member of law enforcement and had managed to get wind of it and give them the slip. It took them five long days to hunt him down.

She glanced at her watch again, twenty minutes had elapsed since JJ had gone to Strauss's office and she still hadn't returned. She stood to stretch just as the elevator pinged open.

"There's my baby mama." She rolled her eyes as Derek Morgan, larger than life, strolled out of the elevator, made his way over to her, dropped his go bag and pulled her into his arms. "You are a sight for sore eyes, Princess. Kiss me like you mean it." He demanded.

She wasn't sure whether to laugh or growl at him so she did neither. She kissed him like she meant it.

The rest of the team offered catcalls and various comments while they went to their respective offices or cubes to finalize their paperwork so they could get out of there. Emily slowly ended the kiss and smiled up at him. "Hi. I missed you."

"I kind of got that." He chuckled as he bent for another quick peck. "I missed you too."

"I'm a little nervous." She told him quickly, slightly panicked at the thought of picking his mother up.

"Baby, you have nothing to worry about. My mom is going to love you. She already loves you. You're giving her a grandbaby." He placed a kiss on her forehead. "Speaking of that," he stepped back slightly and bent down, "How is daddy's little princess?" He dropped a kiss on her stomach.

"A GIRL! OH MY GOD! YOU'RE HAVING A GIRL!" Penelope squealed loud enough to turn several heads and bring Rossi out of his office.

"I thought we weren't telling anyone until we told your mom?" Emily said with a smirk.

"It slipped." Derek winced.

"Bet that's not the first time he's said that." Rossi joked.

"Don't be vulgar, David." Strauss intoned, behind him. "Congratulations again, Emily. You too, Derek."

"Do you hear that sound?" Rossi asked, as he cupped a hand to his ear. "That's the sound of father's everywhere rejoicing in the irony of Derek Morgan becoming a father to a baby girl." He laughed out loud causing several others to chuckle with him.

"I wasn't that bad." Derek argued.

"Oh where is JJ when you need her, I'm sure she could come up with some zingers."

"She's here, she's meeting with…" Emily looked at Strauss. "Hey, where did JJ disappear to?"

"I believe she is welcoming Agent Hotchner home." She responded, smiling when all of their heads swiveled to the office in question.

Hotch had been disappointed to have arrived back in the office and find Emily alone. He thought for sure JJ would be there as well. He smiled as Derek sauntered over to Emily and kissed her. Not feeling like sticking around he quickly made his escape to his office. The sooner he put his report to bed he could find his own. Or JJ's. He didn't care which, as long as she was in it. With that in mind he powered up his laptop and dropped into his office chair.

"Well, hello, tall, dark and delicious. Did you miss me?"

Hotch looked up in time to see JJ enter his office. He stood without saying a word and pulled her into his arms. He hadn't realized until he actually saw her standing there how horribly he had missed her. The crappy case pushed from his memory as his tongue tangled with hers.

"You did miss me." She sighed, when air became necessary.

"I wasn't done saying hello." He commented, as he captured her mouth once again greedily.

"Damn." Morgan whistled. No one thought it out of character for him to lay one on Emily when he'd strolled in the office but for Hotch to be smacking on JJ like he was in view of the whole office?

"Wow." Penelope used a file folder to fan herself. "The smoke detector is going to go off."

"Maybe someone should tell them they're visible?" Reid suggested.

"Do you think she'd get pissed if I put this on YouTube?" Emily wondered. "Oh my, Hotch totally just copped a feel." She looked over at Derek. "He does have moves. No wonder she calls him a sex god."

The heads that were focused on Hotch's office all swiveled back to Emily whose eyes were now wide with shock at what she just uttered.

"Baby, you've got to start thinking before you speak."

"Aaron Hotchner is a sex god?" Penelope snorted in disbelief.

"No, no, no." Derek growled, turning back to make sure that Hotch and JJ were still occupied. "That was just a joke between Emily and JJ that Emily was never supposed to talk about in mixed company."

His comment did nothing but egg Garcia on. "Oh my gosh, girl talk, so JJ totally said that he was." She glanced back at the office. The pair had broken apart at the mouth but they were still holding one another tightly. "Boss man is good in the sack, huh?" She asked Emily.

"I really don't think this is a topic for the office, Miss Garcia." Strauss observed; the corners of her mouth were kicked up in a smile she was fighting.

"Obviously they are sexually compatible." Reid pointed out. "They are both reluctant to separate and continue to touch one another intimately." They all watched as JJ brushed a lock of Hotch's hair that had fallen forward back.

"I hope they can manage to behave professionally when the situation dictates." Strauss stated dryly.

"She accepted the job?" Dave asked.

"What job?" The rest of the team insisted on knowing.

"Agent Jareau has agreed to work for me as our liaison with the DOJ. She will also be offering a course for all agents on the proper way of dealing with the press in various situations." She turned to Penelope. "I believe the office she used previously is still available?"

"She's coming back here!" Garcia clapped. "Oh, I've got to go and find her nameplate, where did I put that?"

In Hotch's office he continued to shower affection on JJ, oblivious to the rest of the team and their various observations. "You keep that up and I'm going to get fired before I even have a chance to come back here." JJ moaned, as his hands continued to roam over her body.

"What?" Her words snapped him out of his lusty haze. He was surprised that he was as revved up as he was considering where they were.

"Erin Strauss offered me a position."

"I was about ready to offer you one myself." He chuckled.

"This one comes with a paycheck." She giggled and then looked at him sharply. "Don't you dare offer to pay me."

He smirked at her and led them to the couch in his office. "Okay, tell me what it is you'd be doing." He listened as she outlined everything she and Strauss discussed. "Would you travel?"

"If there was a high profile case they might require me to travel. But there wouldn't be near as much travel as there was when I was a full member of the BAU."

"So, what do you think?" He asked, curious to find out what her decision was.

"What do you think?" She volleyed back, wanting his thoughts on the matter.

He thought it was perfect but he didn't want to influence her to take something less than she wanted. "I think it's your decision."

"You don't have an opinion?" She asked, disappointedly. Will had always been very vocal about what it was she should be doing. She didn't always like that fact but at lease he expressed his opinion.

"I do, but I don't want mine to influence yours." His thumb caressed the hand he was holding. "I want you to do what you want to do. Whatever makes you happy; I'll support whatever you decide."

His words were a balm to her soul. "No wonder I love you." She leaned forward and kissed him again. "Hurry up and finish your report so I can take you home and show you how much."

He leaned forward and nipped her lips. "Are you going to tell me what you're going to do?"

She smiled wide. "I'm coming back to the BAU." He felt the weight life off his shoulders as she made the statement. "It's a perfect opportunity. I get to use my degree, I get to work around you, and I get to tell everyone what to do in regards to dealing with the press." She reached out and grabbed his tie, "You, Sweet face, are going to get private tutoring." She pressed a kiss on him again. "And I'll get to go home almost every night. Sure there will be times when I have to travel, but that's okay."

"You don't want to travel?" He knew that had been a cause of a lot of the strife between her and Will.

"The one thing I found I like during my tenure with Interpol was the fact that I could spend time with Henry daily." JJ shrugged. "He's starting preschool and he needs me around more, before I argued that we could work around it and we probably could, but the fact is, I don't want to anymore. I want to be there for him." She looked up at him through her lashes. "I'd also like to be there for Jack, too, maybe if Jessica needs a hand."

He leaned in and touched his lips to hers. "No wonder I love you." Hotch told her, repeating her earlier words. "Screw the report, I'll do it tomorrow, I'm ready to go and see the boys."

"No!" JJ responded, horrified. "I promised Strauss that we could be professional."

He raised a brow. "We are professional."

"Not if your first response is 'I'll do it tomorrow'. We have to behave normally." She inched away from him. "Go, finish your work." She shooed him away.

Shaking his head he made his way back to his desk. "When do you officially start?"

"Monday." She smiled as he grabbed hold of the file he was working on when she walked in.

"Fine." He looked over at her. "I'm going to need you to close the shades and shut the door. When I'm done with this damn report I have every intention of nailing you on my couch." He watched as her eyes heated and she licked her lips. "Maybe my desk."

"Definitely your desk." She breathed out. "Do you know that during one of my evaluations I fantasized about you laying me down on your desk and kissing your way up my body?" She grinned at him. "You asked me if I was okay, because I was flushed."

"I knew it! I knew you were thinking about sex. You kept looking at my mouth and biting your lips and your nipples were rock hard."

She felt them tighten as he stared at them now. "How very ungentlemanly of you to notice."

"It wasn't the only thing rock hard in the room." He looked at her chest again. "Then or now."

"Is that right?" She reached behind her and dropped the shades covering one window, with a flick of the wrist you couldn't see in or out of the office.

"Hey, so I did something really stupid but to make up for it I'm going to prevent you two from having sex in Hotch's office in front of the rest of the team." Emily announced loudly, stepping into the office. She looked at the two of them. "Jeez, I kind of feel like I'm walking into a porno. I'm half surprised JJ isn't spread out in front of you on the desk."

"I might have been if you wouldn't have interrupted." JJ grumbled under her breath as Hotch turned a scary shade of red.

"Riiiight. Okay then. We're going to go for drinks if you want to join us?" She smiled winningly, then hurriedly added, "Oh, and I might have announced that you referred to Hotch as a sex god in front of everyone." She grimaced as Hotch went redder still and dropped his head into his hands. JJ groaned, already imagining the teasing they would both be subjected to. "Don't be embarrassed, Hotch, JJ's like ten years younger than you and in really good shape, her saying that you do it for her is a huge endorsement, you're kind of hero like."

"Emily, shut up." JJ growled.

"I'm sorry, you two were up here putting on a show and really the air around you is palpable and it just slipped out." She sighed, "I admit, I didn't see it before but seeing you together? I think you look beautiful. Sensual, electric. Hot." She rubbed a hand over her stomach. "You're going to make gorgeous babies."

"Emily!" JJ said in a strangled voice. "SHUT UP!"

Continuing to ignore her Emily smiled softly over at Hotch. "JJ really loves you, you know…"

"You're lucky I love you, you hormonal nut." JJ growled. "You're embarrassing him. Of course he knows I love him."

"I just wanted to warn him to treat you good or he'd answer to me but the way he looks at you makes me think a warning really isn't necessary." She sniffled. "It's really sweet."

"Em." Derek stepped in and put his hand on her shoulder. "Baby, let's go get you a snack, your blood sugar is all over the place and you are just rambling." He shook his head. "Seriously though, ya'll might want to close the rest of those blinds."

Emily could be heard as they walked away. "Man, I am hungry. Can we get some fries?"

JJ was relieved when Hotch let out a chuckle. "Well, I guess we're not going to have sex on your couch now." She stated. She watched as he reclosed the file and put it in his briefcase. He stood from the desk and held his hand out to her.

"No, but every surface in both of our homes is fair game. And we are leaving now."

His tone brooked no room for argument, but who was she to even think about arguing with that? She slipped her hand into his and winked over at him. "You do have a home office."
