(Emily's point of view)

As JJ and I sit across from each other in the bathroom of my cramped apartment a million thoughts run through my head at once. "This can't be happening again, what if he hates me, I'll never be able to forgive myself."

(JJ's point of view)

I look over at Emily, she looks like a deer in headlights. I'm almost tempted to tell her everything will be fine but the truth is I'm not sure myself. I'm a nervous wreck and a billion things just eat at my nerves. "What will Henry think, will he hit me again, am I going to have to tell someone what has been going on."

(Emily POV, I won't switch point of views so much after this)

At the exact same time the both of us flip over the tests, two pink lines... for the both of us, JJ immediately starts crying. I'm more so in shock.

"Em, what am I going to do." she asks with worried eyes.

"I don't know, the real question is did you mix your pee with mine cause I'm not the one popping out babies every five years." More like every fifteen I think to myself.

"Emily, stop it, I feel like I'm gonna puke."

I look down as I realize I'm sitting on the lid of the toilet.

"Well don't do it on me." I reply as I stand up. You would think I'd have a lot more emotion right now but I really just wanna help Jayje. Now you may be wondering how this happened so let's take a trip down memory lane.

*2 weeks before, 10 months after Haley's death*

The entire team is at Rossi's mansion and everyone is pretty much shit-faced drunk, not saying that I'm not. I look over distractedly as I see JJ and Reid making out passionately in the corner. "Finally." I thought to myself. Actually I can't be the only one thinking that is what runs through my head as I pull Aaron into the other room and lock the door. Morgan and Penelope might be the only ones not making out. I don't know what fully went down with JJ and Reid until I get a desperate phone call from Jayje two weeks later.

*Back in the present*

"What am I going to tell Will.... and Henry?" JJ asks me, she is still crying and to be honest there isn't really anything I can do.

"I don't know, tell him the truth... if he loves you what is he gonna do, everyone makes mistakes." I reply. I see a flash of panic run across her face, something isn't right. She covers up the look quickly with a tight smile.

"Yeah... what is he going to do." Her voice trails off.

"Well, let's get out of my bathroom and order pizza or something." My situation wasn't nearly as complicated as hers and I mean Aaron and I were still talking and in a bit of a relationship, We didn't necessarily discuss it being official but maybe everything will be fine. I didn't have a boyfriend or any other kids to worry about, just Sergio the cat and A-A-Ron my french bulldog that the real Aaron still does not know about.

"Yeah, let's order pizza" JJ said trying to sound optimistic. Something was bothering but I couldn't think about what it could possibly be... I mean she is pregnant but it seems deeper then that. I ordered the pizza and we ate in silence while we watched "Look who's talking too," with Kristie Alley and John Travolta. Henry was with JJ's mom for the weekend and JJ asked if she could sleep on my couch. I obviously said she could. I didn't understand why she would want to 'cause if I had kids and Aaron and I could have the night alone I would definitely take the chance. I lied in my bed and texted Aaron about JJ's recent behavior, leaving out the part of the both of us being pregnant, I figured he might have better insight as a profiler because he wasn't so close to the problem. His only suggestion was that maybe she was being abused which I couldn't stand to think about so I didn't.

I had been asleep for four hours when I heard screaming coming from the living room. I grabbed my handgun from my nightstand drawer and carefully walked into the living room in a giant t-shirt and pajamas shorts. I turned on the light and lowered my gun when I realized JJ was just screaming in her sleep.

"NO, STOP IT, PLEASE." she begged to someone in her dreams. I was starting to believe that Aaron was right when I gently shook her awake and she thrashed her arms around and smacked me in the face.

"JENNIFER, IT'S JUST ME, EMILY, WAKE UP."

She finally opened her eyes and clung to my arm crying at four o'clock in the morning.

"JJ, it's fine, it was just a nightmare." I sat next to her as she curled up in the corner of the couch.

"Yeah, just a nightmare." she said. I could tell she didn't believe it. I wasn't gonna push her if she didn't want to talk. I was going to tell Aaron. After an hour and a half she fell asleep clinging onto A-A-Ron the dog. Sergio was curled up by her head and I knew I wasn't going to fall asleep. Aaron told me if she didn't tell me what was going on within two weeks we were going to have to confront her. I paced around the apartment, did the dishes, started the laundry. I scrolled through all the pictures on my phone, most of them were of the team and my pets, but a few of them were Aaron and Jack and I. Around seven am I threw up a few times. One of the many perks of being pregnant. Then I stared at the ceiling for awhile when JJ woke up. We had to be at the BAU at nine so I lent her black dress pants and a blue dress shirt. She was a bit shorter then me but everything fit fine. We walked into the BAU and Reid quickly scurried away at the sight of JJ. Poor Reid, I thought, he doesn't really know how to deal with women.

"Hey pretty ladies." Morgan said as we approached him. Aaron gave him a death glare from the door of his office. It was funny when he acted jealous, even if Morgan was always like that. I saw JJ on the phone with Will as she hurried to her office. I was about to sit down at my desk when a very bubbly Penelope came over and squeezed the life out of me.

"TWO DAYS IS TOO MANY." she screeched.

"Penelope you texted me a dozen times, you practically know what I'm doing before I do it. You probably hacked my security cameras too."

"I can't say whether I did or I didn't" A million and one thoughts raced through my head. There is no way she was awake at 4:30am, was there?

(Penelope's POV)

I'm not even usually awake at 4:30 so the fact that I hacked Emily's cameras at 4:28 was an unfortunate coincidence. What I saw made me and friend loving heart die. I wasn't going to ask about it unless I happened to see it again. Maybe next time I'll hack JJ's security cameras and see what sweet little Henry is up to.
