I decided not to tell anyone about the pregnancy, not even Aaron, until I hit the 13 weeks mark just to be sure. I didn't want to disappoint him again. I was getting a heparin injection once a day to treat my pulmonary embolism that the pregnancy was causing and my Ob/Gyn told my that I will probably going to take them until a couple of months after delivery. To Aaron, I said that the shots were just to treat the pulmonary embolism and that I will need to take them for the next three months. Thankfully, that didn't stop me from going back to work after a few weeks at home but I was being more careful than before. Aaron probably knows that something is going on but I don't think he knows exactly what that is.

Yesterday I had my second ultrasound and I got pictures. I hid them in my bag though because I was planning on leaving them on Aaron's office this morning. I went earlier than him at the bureau and got straight into his office. I pulled out a form and filled out the application for a leave.

Reason:    Pregnancy/Maternity leave     

I am sure that I am blushing while writing the reason of the time off and I can't keep myself from smile. I take a deep breath and I leave the paper on his desk right in from of his chair to make sure it's the first thing he'll read. I hide the photos of the ultrasound under the application and I leave from his office. "Good morning" Spencer says as he enters the bullpen
"Good morning" I say sitting on my desk
"What are you doing here so early?" he asks
"What are you doing here so early?" I ask him
"I just came but you seem to be here for some time now" he says
"I just needed to finish something and leave it in Hotch's office" I say
"Sure..." he says as he sits down. 

That moment we both got a message from Garcia to get to the BAU ASAP. "Seems like the others will be here soon" I say looking at the messege and then Penelope comes in "Sooner than I thought" I say
"You're already here. Good. Where is Hotch?" she asks
"On his way probably" I answer
"You didn't come together?" she asks
"Why does this seem so weird to both of you?" I ask
"She answered with the question with a question. You say that that always means that she's hiding something" she says
"I just woke up earlier and decided to come to the office and finish something that I didn't yesterday. How about that?" I say "He is not my bodyguard" I continue.

"Good morning" Hotch says as he comes in
"Speak of the devil..." I whisper to myself
"I didn't see you this morning. Everythink ok?" he asks me
"Ok, if one more person asks me that I'm gonna shoot them" I say and he smiles.
"Sir, you got my messege?" Penelope asks
"I did, let's go to the conference room" he says
"What about the others?" I ask
"They are on their way" he says and I nod. 

The others came within the next 30 minutes we were all in the conference room and got the presentation of the case from Penelope. "Hey, have you being to your office yet?" I ask Aaron as we leave the conference room
"No, not yet. Why?" he asks
"Nothing. I'll see you later" I say
"See you" he says and pecks my lips before I leave the room. After that I went to my desk to get my go-bag and I watched Aaron as he went to his office. He sits on his desk and notices the paper. He takes it and starts reading it. I try to hide my smile from the others by looking down "Jessie, in my office now" I hear and I turn to look at Aaron. I nod and I go in the office with him "What is this?" he says showing me the paper in his hand
"I don't know what you're talking about" I say but I can't hide my smile
"Is it true or a joke?" he asks
"It's true" I say. He lets the paper down and smiles. He kisses me and hugs me.

He pulls away just enough to look at me
"When did you find out?" he asks
"When I got shot. That's why I have pulmonary embolism. I was actually waiting to complete the 12th week and then tell you because I wanted it to be sure that everything will be ok this time. I'm sorry I didn't tell you right away" I say
"You have nothing to apoligize for. I'm actually relieved, I thought that something more serious is going on and you didn't want to worry me. I love you so much" he says
"I love you too" I say and he hugs me again.

"So this is our baby" he says looking at the pictures with the biggest smile
"Yeah. Our healthy 13 weeks old and in the right place baby" I say and I feel the tears form in my eyes "And I'm crying again" I say trying to blink them away
"It's ok" he says and hugs me.
"I get emotional very easily these days, it's one of the perks with the pulmonary embolism" I say as we pull away
"Now that you mentioned that, it's not gonna be only for three months, right?" he asks
"No. My OB said that it will probably go on even for a few months after delivery. And when my belly starts to grow, I'll have to change the place I do the injections..." I say
"And you'll need help" he says completing my sentence
"Yeah, I will because I can't see my buttcheeks" I say
"But I can" he says and kisses me
"Yeah, you can" I say laughing and he kisses me again.
"And my boobs are already getting bigger, I think I need to go get new bras already" I say
"Well, that's not necessarily a bad thing" he says and I chuckle
"It's not unless daddy starts touching and mommy is in pain" I say causing him to laugh
"Daddy never makes a promise he can't keep" he says and we kiss.

"But I need you to promise me something else" I say
"And what is that?" he asks
"That you won't become overprotective. I know that I have to be careful and I am but I don't want us to change the way that we are and work" I say
"I'll do my best" he says rubbing my cheek "I love you" he says looking me in the eyes
"I love you too" I say and we kiss again.
