This isn't what I want

chapter 31

** Two months later **

** Emily's POV **

Two months have passed, and we've all been given vacation time. Time away from the job. That's what the director said. He said we needed the time off. I'm not complaining.

Have you ever binge-watched something on the television? I tried doing that, but in all honesty, I got bored after watching half and hour. Sitting around, doing nothing is something I'm not really a fan of. That's probably why I suggested to have JJ's baby shower over at mine. The distractions.

She's getting big now, being like seven months pregnant. She says she's fat, but she's beautiful. I don't understand how she can stay beautiful, it amazes me.

I've been decorating my apartment with balloons and getting food out, including a rather large bowl of Cheetos, and the doorbell rings.

JJ's accompanied by Garcia, who looks ecstatic.

"Emily! It's been ages, almost a week!" She says with a laugh.

"Don't I know it." I say with a laugh, and let them inside.

JJ's eyes light up as she looks around the room and sees all the balloons and the fairy lights I put up. It's been ages since I last saw her look so happy.

"Wow, Em, you sure know how to throw a baby shower." She giggles, and makes herself comfortable in my big armchair.

The doorbell rings again, and I let Reid and Morgan in, followed by Aaron and Rossi.

"It's almost like being back at work." I say as I pass round glasses of champagne, and a glass of sparkling elderflower for JJ.

"No alcohol, remember." I say with a stern expression.

She winks at me and drains her glass in one.

"Steady on there, Jaydge, she's only got one bottle." Morgan teases.

JJ raises an eyebrow and holds out her glass whilst I fetch the bottle of elderflower. We begin to give JJ our presents, and she only manages about three before she rushes to the bathroom. So far, she's got two pairs of baby boots from Garcia, a personalised baby top that says My mommy's the best from Morgan, and a collection of fairy tales from Reid.

She comes back from the bathroom about five minutes later, her eyes slightly shiny.

"You alright?" I ask, concerned.

"Yeah, of course. Shall we continue?" She answers, not looking at me directly.

She opens all of her presents, which takes about another hour, and then her phone buzzes. Her mom's coming over.

"I thought she had Henry?" Reid asks her.

"No, Henry's with Kate. I told Mom about the baby shower."

Ten minutes later, the bell rings, and JJ's mom stands in the hall with a baby buggy and a ribbon tied around the handle.

"Surprise!" She says, with a large smile.

I thought JJ would be happy, but she gets up relatively quickly (as quick as you can whilst seven months pregnant), and storms into my bedroom, slamming the door behind her.

What is going on?

** A/N **

Sorry, it's been a while, and this is a slightly shorter chapter. It's more cheerful than the others, but it gets darker again. Updates will be slower as I start school tomorrow, so bear with. Thanks for reading!
