Here's the next chapter. I've already started writing the next one, so it will probably be a quick update.

Disclaimed

Twenty minutes later Hotch was in his office filling out paper work when Rossi triumphantly stormed in. "Your problem had been taken care of," Rossi said proudly.

"Are you sure?" Hotch asked warily.

"Positive," Rossi nodded. "I just reminded Erin of a select few times she and I broke the rules" he said with a wink.

Hotch rolled his eyes, "Thank you Dave."

"No problem," Rossi said. "I want you and JJ to know that I love you both, and I'm really sorry for what I said earlier. I'm excited to have another baby in the family."

"I know," Hotch said. "JJ says I shouldn't be so mad at you, I know you were looking out for both of us. I forgive you, and I'm working on forgetting."

"Thank you Aaron," Rossi said to his friend. "How is JJ?"

"She's doing fine," Hotch answered.

"So no mood swings yet?" Rossi asked with a chuckle.

"Some," Hotch replied. "Right now I think she's mostly a little scatter-brained, but don't tell her I said that."

"I wouldn't dream of it," Rossi replied. "How are you doing?"

"I'm doing great," Hotch answered with a smile "JJ and I are looking at houses. I get to be a dad again, and I know JJ's going to be an amazing mother."

"That's good to hear," Rossi said. "On my way back from Strauss's office I overheard her talking to Prentiss about how great it was to have you with her through this."

"She said that?" Hotch questioned.

"I swear to it," Rossi said, raising his right hand. "Are you going to sit here all day and do paperwork?" he asked.

"No, JJ and I are heading to lunch in about ten minutes, and then after I have a meeting with the director," Hotch said.

"Oh yeah," Rossi sarcastically stated, "You two are so not a couple."

"Dave, we're not," Hotch sighed. He was beginning to get tired of the conversation.

"Morgan! Reid!" Rossi called to the two agents walking by.

"What are you doing?" Hotch asked.

Rossi didn't answer, and shut the door behind Morgan and Reid as they entered. "What's up?" Morgan asked.

"Do you think Hotch and JJ are a couple?" Rossi asked, causing Hotch to cover his face with his hands.

"Duh," Morgan answered. "And I heard Rossi talked to Strauss, so you don't have to keep it a secret anymore."

"How did you know that?" Reid asked.

"We're not keeping it a secret," Hotch said in exasperation. "JJ told me she wasn't looking for anything serious."

"You two are moving in together, you eat lunch together everyday, you're having a baby, are you still having sex?" Rossi began listing.

"Alright Dave that's enough. Everyone out of my office," Hotch ordered.

"Sounds like a yes to me," Morgan chuckled.

"That does sound like a relationship," Reid added.

"Oh I forgot the best part," Rossi interjected. "Hotch specifically told me about a year ago he had a crush on JJ."

"I didn't say the word crush," Hotch protested. "But I do like spending time with her. She's obviously beautiful. She's smart. She understands what it's like to have this job."

"I think you should ask her out on a real date," Reid suggested.

"Brilliant idea Reid!" Rossi exclaimed.

"I think JJ would be for it," Morgan said. "I mean even though she said she's not looking for anything serious she does spend a lot of time with you both in and out of work. That, and the fact that there was no hesitation on her part to move in with you tells me that she's changed her mind."

"Stop profiling her," Hotch said sternly. Their meeting was interrupted by a soft knocking on the door.

JJ opened the door and was surprised to see most of the team assembled. "Oh sorry, am I interrupting something?" she asked.

"No they were just leaving," Hotch answered.

"Oh alright. Aaron, I was wondering if maybe you wanted to leave for lunch now? I'm craving a burger, and I know you have that meeting later," JJ explained.

The rest of the team watched the interaction curiously. "Yes, I'll meet you down at the car," he responded. JJ gave a quick nod before leaving, closing the door behind her.

Hotch quickly closed his paperwork before any of his teammates could comment on their obvious observations about the interaction. "Have fun at lunch Aaron!" he heard Morgan call after him as he exited the bullpen. Hotch decided to jog down the stairs to where JJ waited in the parking garage, leaning against his black SUV.

"What did they all want?" JJ asked, referring to the gathering she had just witnessed.

"Nothing, they were just being assholes," Hotch commented.

"Reid too?" JJ asked, as they both stepped into the SUV. Hotch drove as he turned onto the main road.

"No," Hotch almost laughed. "It was mostly Dave, but he encouraged Morgan."

"Can I ask what it was about?" she asked.

Hotch wasn't sure how to reply. Were the guys right about JJ saying yes to a date? He decided not to risk it and ask her. "You," he answered simply.

JJ's face didn't show any signs of surprise. "What about me?"

"Don't worry about it," Hotch assured. "They were just talking about the whole Strauss thing." It wasn't technically a lie, but it also wasn't the whole truth.

"Oh yeah how did that go?" JJ asked. She couldn't believe what she had spent most of her morning worrying about had actually slipped her mind.

"Obviously Strauss said she was going to report me, and make sure it went through," he answered through gritted teeth. "But Dave said he took care of it."

"How?"

"Do you really want to know?"

"I guess not," JJ laughed. "Can you turn up here?"

"I thought you wanted a burger?" Hotch asked. "The place you like is straight ahead."

"Oh please we could have just gone to Burger King, which we will be doing after I help you relieve the obvious stress that the morning has caused," JJ finished seductively. She put her hand on his upper thigh and gave it a squeeze. "And I know you know my apartment is right around the corner."

"Jesus JJ I'm driving," Hotch swore. She had such an effect on him, that he almost swerved into a tree trying to make the turn. Car horns honked behind them, and JJ grinned happily as she moved her hand back to her own lap. Hotch sped into the nearest parking spot outside her small building, suddenly thankful that JJ lived on the first floor. He flung his car door open and nearly ran to open JJ's.

"Who would have thought you would be so into a lunch time quickie," JJ teased as she kissed him on the neck.

"May I suggest that you go unlock your door before this gets out of hand," Hotch said as he basically carried her into the building and to her front door. JJ fumbled with the lock before the door opened and Hotch pushed them both inside kicking the door shut.

The following Friday afternoon Hotch sat miserably on JJ's bed while she tried on yet another outfit. "Okay does this one make me look pregnant?" she asked. JJ wore a loose fitting dark navy dress and dark flats to match.

"No," Hotch answered. In his opinion JJ was barely showing, and it was crazy of her to make him watch her try on outfits that in her imagination made her look fat.

"You said that about all of them!" JJ exclaimed in frustration.

"Because they all look great!' Hotch retorted. As much as he loved spending time with JJ, this was becoming tedious. He had counted that so far she had tried on seven different outfit combinations.

JJ pouted and looked at herself in the full length mirror from the side. "I think I'll go with the first one again," she said. Hotch flopped backwards on the bed in exasperation. While JJ stripped out of her dress and stepped into the first dress, a black loose fitting dress, and cork wedge heels. As she was pulling her shoes on JJ's doorbell rang. "That's them," she said. Hotch sprung up from the bed and adjusted his suit while JJ darted across the small apartment to open the door.

"Mom," JJ breathed as she pulled her mother into a hug. "Dad," she said doing the same with her father. JJ's parent's entered the living room carrying their large suitcases, revealing JJ's older brother and his wife. Her brother was a good 6'6 with blonde hair like JJ's and a muscular build.

"Jenny," he pulled his sister into a bear hug, and lifted her into the air. This made Hotch nervous given her present condition.

"Put me down Micheal," JJ commanded, but her brother only began to spin her. "Cara please make him stop," JJ begged her sister in-law.

"Okay that's enough," Hotch said, intervening. He was becoming increasingly nervous for the condition of both JJ and the baby as she was slung over her brother's shoulders.

"And who's this," Sandy Jareau asked her daughter once she was back on the ground.

"Um this is Aaron," JJ introduced. Hotch took turns shaking hands with each member of JJ's family and exchanging pleasantries while JJ watched nervously.

"And how do you know our JJ?" JJ's father asked.

Hotch wasn't sure how to answer the question until JJ stepped in. "Aaron's my boss," she said, earning her confused looks from her family. "We're very good friends." JJ was beginning to wish she didn't introduce him as that, considering what she was about to announce.

"And why is your boss here?" her mother asked.

"Well, now that you mention it, I have an announcement," JJ said.

"I told you she was going to be a spy!" Micheal exclaimed. "Now we're never going to get to see her again."

"JJ is that true?" her mother asked worriedly.

"Erm no," JJ shook her head at her brother. "But you might want to sit down."

Mr. and Mrs. Jareau sat on the sofa next to Cara while Micheal remained standing. Hotch's hand on the small of her back gave JJ the courage to continue. "This is going to be hard for you to understand," JJ started. "But we uh, I uh,"

"JJ's pregnant," Hotch finished, earning him a grateful look from her.. "And I'm the baby's father." Before Hotch could register what was happening he felt a fist connect with his face.
