JJ hung on the cabinet door as she let it swing shut. She gave out a tired groan as the door slammed into the cabinet.

"Can you please not do that?" the busty, redheaded real estate agent asked.

"Whatever," JJ mumbled. This was the third house they had looked at that day, and they were all starting to blend together for her. They were finally on the last stop for the house tour, which was the kitchen.

"So what do you think?" Hotch asked beside her. He was the one who fought against going house hunting so soon, but JJ had put her foot down. Now, she was regretting that decision because all she really wanted was a nap.

"I don't know," she said. "I can't really see us living here."

'It is on a busy street, and there might not be enough room," Hotch commented.

"How many bedrooms are there?" JJ asked the real estate agent.

"We just took a tour of the house," she stated in an annoyed tone.

"How many bedrooms?" Hotch repeated sternly.

"Three," The real estate agent answered.

"Yeah it is too small," JJ said. "I mean we need a room for the baby, Jack, the nanny, us."

"So we do get to share a room?" Hotch questioned with a mischievous look in his eyes.

"I haven't decided yet," JJ answered coyly. "Have you been thinking about it?"

Hotch shrugged, "I wondered."

"Well do you want to?" JJ persisted.

"It's really up to you," Hotch answered.

"So did you want to make an offer?" The real estate agent asked. She was looking only at Hotch, all together ignoring JJ presence.

"I don't think so," Hotch answered.

She gave Hotch a flirty pout that made, that made JJ roll her eyes. "Well I guess we'll have to see another."

"Actually we can't," JJ interjected. "We have an appointment at two."

"Ohh what for?" she once again asked only Hotch.

"We're going to find out the gender of our baby," JJ answered, rubbing her small bump with a smile when she saw the woman's face fall.

"Well congratulations."

"Thank you," Hotch nodded as he guided JJ out the door, and to the car.

"I think we need a new Realtor. She's so unprofessional," JJ huffed once they were in the car.

Hotch laughed, "Whatever you wish."

"'I'm serious!" JJ exclaimed. "I can't believe she was openly flirting with you while we were buying a house together."

"She was not flirting with me," Hotch denied.

"Oh Mr. HOT-chner," JJ mimicked the Realtor, causing Hotch to chuckle.

"Maybe she just thought we were friends," Hotch said quietly.

"And can she not even see that I'm pregnant? And we were discussing work and everything! UGH," JJ continued, much to Hotch's amusement.

"To be fair," Hotch said, only for his own amusement, "You're not really showing, and we were talking about separate bedrooms."

"I can't believe you're not on my side," JJ huffed.

"I didn't realize there were sides," Hotch chuckled.

"You only like her because you think she's hot."

"I actually didn't even really notice, but we can have another Realtor when we look at houses another time. Okay?"

"Okay," JJ said. "So what do you hope we have?"

Hotch smiled at the change of conversation. "Honestly as long the baby's healthy I don't care. What about you?"

"I'm the same," JJ answered. "But I feel like it's going to be a girl."

"Well we're here now, so I guess we'll find out," Hotch said as he pulled into the parking lot.

The pair sat in the doctor's office while JJ laid across the small doctor bed.

"I'm just going to put this on your stomach so that we can see the baby," her doctor addressed JJ. Doctor Cook was a kind, older woman who JJ had been going to for years.

JJ nodded, and once that was done. The doctor began scanning for the ultrasound. JJ reached out and grabbed Hotch's hand when their baby appeared on the screen.

"Do you see it?" Doctor Cook asked.

"That's our baby," JJ cooed.

"Yeah it is," Hotch replied lovingly. Both of their faces were smiling at the screen.

"Would you like to know the sex?" Doctor Cook asked.

"Yes," JJ and Hotch replied together.

Doctor Cook moved the stick around a little bit before speaking. "You're having a girl," she said.

"Looks like you were right," Hotch said with a smile.

"A girl," JJ breathed. They both stared at the small screen that showed their daughter.

As they were driving home JJ called her parents in Pennsylvania to invite them to D.C. for the weekend. She explained that she hadn't seen them in a while and missed them. Her mother said that they would be arriving on Friday.

"Are you ready for this?" Hotch asked, he knew how nervous JJ was at telling her parents she was having a baby.

"Are you ready?" JJ asked. "Because my mom took the liberty of inviting my brother and his wife along."

"They're all going to fit in your apartment?" Hotch asked.

"That's your main concern?" JJ questioned. "Besides maybe if you would have decided on a house today..."

Hotch gave a look of mock offense, "You were the one being difficult, and swinging on cabinet doors."

"Can we stop for food I'm starving?" JJ asked, once again changing the subject.

"Sure what are you in the mood for?" Hotch asked, amused at her behavior.

"That chicken dish you make," JJ answered.

"Alright, but we can't stop for that. I'm going to have to cook it myself," Hotch said with a smile.

JJ swatted him on the arm playfully, "You know what I meant."

The next morning Hotch and JJ were the last ones to arrive at work.

"There they are!" Morgan yelled. The team instantly swarmed around the pair.

"Remind me again why we told them we were finding out the sex of the baby?" JJ whispered to Hotch.

Hotch shrugged, 'You're the one who did it."

"So what are you having?" Prentiss asked. "We kind of have a poll going, and I think I'm right."

Reid shook his head. "I'm right. It's all about statistics."

"You can't use statistics to predict what a baby will be," Rossi piped up.

"Hush so they can tell us," Garcia scolded.

"It's a girl!" JJ announced.

"Pay up!" Prentiss commanded to Reid.

"It would have worked if Hotch had more kids I could have based my research on," Reid mumbled, causing Hotch to give him a confused look.

"Doesn't matter pretty boy," Morgan teased, as he also collected the money from Reid.

"JJ we are going to have so much fun dressing the baby, and doing her hair, and all that fun girly stuff," Garcia began rambling.

"Congratulations," Rossi said to Hotch.

"Thanks," Hotch said shortly, before turning away from Rossi. To be honest he wasn't done being mad at Dave, his anger had died down, but it wasn't yet gone.

"Agent Hotchner, I would like a word with you," Strauss said, interrupting the team's moment. She turned on her heel and walked back to her office, expecting that Hotch would follow.

"Are you-" JJ started.

"It's fine," Hotch reassured. JJ watched him follow Strauss, and a pit grew in her stomach. Strauss had always been after Aaron, and now she finally had her reason to fire him.

"Agent Jareau has requested maternity leave," Strauss said once they were in her office.

"Yes," Hotch replied, not giving anything away.

"It says here she's due in August," Strauss said, reading over JJ's form.

"Also correct."

"I've heard whispers about your relationship with Agent Jareau," Strauss suggested.

"With all due respect mam, I didn't see you as the type to participate in office gossip," Hotch stated.

"I don't," Strauss gritted. "But I'm going to ask you right now, was there an inappropriate relationship occurring between you and Agent Jareau?"

"Yes," Hotch sighed. It was best to tell the truth.

Strauss grinned, "I'm going to report this Agent Hotchner. The director does not take kindly to the leader of one of his elite teams impregnating an agent."

"Erin please," Hotch begged.

"You can leave now," Strauss quipped. Hotch gave her a glare before exiting the office.

"What did Strauss want?" Rossi asked once Hotch had re-entered the bullpen.

"She knows about me and JJ, and she's reporting it directly to the director," Hotch answered. He so furious with Strauss, he forgot he was supposed to be mad at Rossi too.

"Do you think they'll fire you?" Rossi asked with concern.

"Under normal circumstances they would just let it go, but if Strauss makes enough noise they might not have a choice," Hotch replied. "At least now JJ won't have to worry about a nanny."

"I'll be right back," Rossi said before storming off in the direction of Strauss's office.
