cw: pregnancy, talks of having a child, going into labor

It started with JJ, not so subtly, going into labor.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I am not a doctor - I don't even play one on TV but I believe young JJ's going into labor," Penelope's own shaky voice echoed through the break room. Y/N's hand reached out to grab Hotch's wrist in shock. His eyes met hers, widened slightly. He cleared his throat, setting down the coffee pot.

"I'll get the car." Her eyes followed his body's steady pace down the hall to the elevator, a soft smile against their mouth.

Y/N moved to buzz around JJ's form, a gentle hand resting against her back alongside Emily and Garcia's. JJ's voice was nervous as her friends fluttered around her, "I need to call Will."

Y/N chuckled, hand rubbing small circles against her spine. "We can call from the car, Jayje, but right now we need to get to the hospital."

The SUV was already parked at the curb, Hotch holding the passenger door open.

Always the gentlemen.

JJ's huffed breathing filled the front of the car while Emily, Garcia, and Y/N were all stuffed in the backseat. Aaron's eyes flitted from the road to the mirrors, to the heaving pregnant coworker in his passenger seat. "Just breathe JJ."

"I am, Hotch," she winced, a hand rubbing over her protruding belly. "But please don't kill us with your reckless driving."

"Sorry," he muttered, smile flitting to the rear view reflection to meet Y/N's eyes. Her face matched his. He soothed further. "We're almost there okay? Just hold on tight."

Her heart thrummed in her chest, his affection for his subordinates peaking through the exterior he usually put on for show at the office. His concerned gaze following JJ's movements next to him, a small smile permanently on his face.

Will's concerned face paced the entrance to the hospital, black dress shoes had to be wearing the sidewalk thin.

"Honey," his panicked voice called out as the SUV pulled to a stop. His hands fell to her back, pressing a kiss to her smiling lips. "I'm fine, Will."

Y/N and Aaron stood at the parked car, watching as their friends ushered JJ inside. His own hand moved to rest on her back. "Should we go in there?"

"They'll be fine without us." He smiled, palm rubbing calming circles against their spine. "They don't need us crowding them even more."

She pouted slightly, before nodding her head. "Do we have to go back to the office?"

"No," he laughed, moving back to the driver's door. "I'm giving us the weekend off."

~~~~~~

It was hard to tell who was more excited to spend time with each other at home - Jack or his parents. Aaron had slept in as late as possible, waking up at 8 to put a pot of coffee on for himself, a kettle heating on the stove for his wife.

Sock-clad feet shuffled against the floorboards to the kitchen, arms wrapped around Aaron's middle. Y/N hummed against his back, "Good morning."

"Morning, love," the deep timber of his voice vibrated through his chest. "Is Jack awake yet?"

She chuckled as she pulled away from the warmth of his body. "Do you really think he would be awake this early if he didn't have to be?"

"...No." He laughed as he poured a spoonful of honey into her tea. "Here you go sweetheart."

"Thank you, baby," she pecked his lips with hers. "Do you have plans for today?"

He hummed, settling into the seat next to her. "We'll see what Jack wants to do. We've got two days."

As if his own small ears were burning, Jack's feet thumped down the stairs. "Where's Aunt Jess?"

"Good morning, baby," Y/N hummed, pulling her stepson into her side. "We don't have to go to work today."

His eyes went wide, a large smile creeping up on his face. "Really? We get to hang out today?"

"Yeah, bud," Aaron smiled over to him. "What do you wanna do today?"

He paused for a second, a dramatic sigh leaving his chest - one far too big for his small form. "Can we do a movie day?"

Y/N's eyes flitted to her husbands. "You just wanna stay here?"

He nodded against her chest. "Maybe we can make a fort?"

"I think we can do that."

~~~~~~~

The fort was something of an architectural masterpiece. Aaron and Jack had somehow made it tall enough for the adults to kneel in, blankets and pillows covering the floor of the living room.

Jack has chosen to watch Captain America(again), his ultimate joy finding itself in the one liners and fighting scenes of Steve Rogers. The small family had huddled together, all of their bodies pressing into each other.

"Can we ask Aunt JJ if Henry can have a sleepover soon?" Y/N made eyes over to her husband, a small smile resting on her rested face.

"Sure, honey, but things might be a little different now," she almost laughed as his little face scrunched under the glow of the TV.

"What do you mean?" Her fingers carded through his dusty blonde hair.

"Well, Aunt J had her baby," Aaron said softly. "Henry's got a little baby brother now."

"A brother?" His eyes went wide. "Whoa."

Jack's parents chuckled against their son, his reaction more dramatic then they had been expecting. He continued. "I want one."

"Want what?"

"A brother- or a sister would be cool too."

If Jack noticed the pause in the air, he didn't mention it. Their laughter stilled, a mixture of shocked expressions resting on their faces. "Would-" Aaron cleared his throat as she stuttered. "Would you really want that?"

"Yeah," he said excitedly. "I've wanted one for like 3 years, Dad."

Aaron sputtered as his wife laughed on the ground. Her fingers went to his sides, Jack's giggle echoing against the blanket walls. "Oh really?" She laughed. "You've wanted one for years, huh? Wanna be a big brother huh?"

Aaron's chuckled mingled with his son's cradling him to his chest as his wife blew raspberries against his belly. Only when he was near tears did his stepmother let up. She pressed him to her chest, happy smiles resting on both of their faces. Aaron pulled her to his side. "We'll see what we can do about that."

Y/N's head shot up from it's resting place on Jack's head, a bright smile lighting the small space. "Really?"

He smiled, pressing a kiss to her forehead. "Yeah baby, really."
