A/N: This takes place about five weeks weeks after the last chapter.  This is set in the episode "The Performer" but it is before the case.

The last five weeks had been a whirlwind for the team. They obviously had cases but two relationships between four team members had formed. The whole team knew about Emily's pregnancy but the father. She was showing and she still hadn't told him. Since they had started their relationship two weeks before, she was surprised that he hadn't noticed.

Emily was sleeping on Penelope's couch in her office, they didn't have anything to do, her paperwork was done and they didn't have a case. She would have been sleeping Hotch's couch but she would have had to explain to him. She had an arm under a pillow and the other on her growing stomach. She had been covered with a blanket that Penelope had in her office. 

Meanwhile, Rossi was in Hotch's office, they were talking. Hotch was a little worried about Emily, he noticed that she was acting a little differently than she normally did. He said, " Dave, have you noticed that Emily's acting different lately?"

Rossi knew why but he wasn't going to say anything just yet. He said, " What do you mean?"

Hotch said, " I don't know she is just acting differently than normal, she is spending a lot more time in Garcia's or JJ's office when we don't have a case and when we are done at work, she spends a lot more time with me. Maybe, it's because we are together now but I don't know."

Rossi nodded before he said, " That's not necessarily a bad thing."

Hotch said, "I know."

Rossi decided to just tell him. He said," She's pregnant, Aaron."

He paused for a moment before he continued," Don't be mad at her, she's going to tell you she just doesn't know how to."

Hotch nodded, he didn't say anything but he was actually happy that he was going to be a father again. He said," Thanks Dave."

/////////////////

It was after the case when Emily went to Hotch's office. It was late, the rest of the team had gone home, even Morgan who was their acting unit chief. She lightly knocked on his door before she walked in and over to his desk. Since no one else was around, she kissed him lightly on the lips. She pulled away after he kissed her back and sat down on his desk. She said," I'm surprised that Strauss hasn't said anything about there being two couples on this team, us obviously then Morgan and Garcia."

He said," I don't think she knows but she can't exactly do anything, we all keep it out of work."

He stood up from his chair and held his hand out to her. He said," Dance with me."

She smiled slightly before she said," There's no music."

He had it all planned out, he had brought a CD player to his office the morning of the day they went on the case. He pressed play on the player and slow song came out of the speakers. The sound was low, just loud enough for them to hear. He held his hand back out to her. This time she took it. 

He moved with her to the other side of the desk where there was more room. He placed his arms around her waist. She had her arms around his neck. They slowly danced in his office.

She didn't know why he asked her to dance with him but she honestly didn't care. She was now resting her head on his shoulder. 

He kissed the top of her head before he said," I know."

She didn't move her head from his shoulder as she said," I was going to tell you, I just didn't know how. I didn't know what your reaction was going to be and I didn't want you to be mad."

He said," I'm not mad."

She smiled once more, she was glad that he wasn't mad. She said," I'm having twins by the way."

Before he even asked, she answered his question that he was thinking about. " I'm thirteen weeks along."

The song ended soon after and he pressed stop after they both pulled away. He moved back over to her and looked down at her stomach. His hand reach out to touch her stomach, but he stopped. He said," May I?"

She nodded and said," Yeah, go ahead. You didn't have to ask."

She pushed her shirt up so he could actually she her 'bump' since she was still wearing bigger clothes. He placed his hand on her stomach and actually smiled.
