[Hospital waiting room; yes we are back tracking a bit]
JJ's POV:
I sit in the hospital, my hormones going crazy. I know I'm in shock, but I can't seem to grasp reality. I ball my feet up, turning myself into a fetal position. I stare at my feet, praying Emily walks out. However, I know all too well it won't happen, even if she is ok. I see dark hair around the corner. I feel hope rise, but I know it was wishful thinking. Elle turns to look at us. Her face shows remorse, along with grief. I come to realize Emily hadn't made it. I burst into tears. Longing for Spence's touch. He had been pacing, but rushes to my side when the news broke. I let myself fall, releasing my weight onto him.
"I didn't get to tell her-" I stop my sentence, I hadn't yet told anyone.
I find the need to be closer to Spence, I nuzzle my face in the crook of his neck. The team didn't know we were dating, but I didn't care anymore. He seems to know my intentions, he places a sweet kiss on my forehead. It causes me to sob even more. I feel myself reach but a stop my hand.
*flashback*
'I'm pregnant' the words echo through my brain. They try to escape my throat. Spence and I had only had sex once, but that seemed to be enough. I'm pregnant—I am pregnant. I speak the words aloud. I smile to myself as I stare at the two tests on the counter. I feel a pit in my stomach, nervousness seeps through my body. I thought about Spence. What would he think? Was it too fast? Did he want kids? Did he want kids with ME? I shoo the thoughts away. I place my hand on my stomach, it wouldn't grow for months, but I loved the idea of my child growing there.
I open my eyes, the vision fading from view. I grab Spence's hand. I begin thinking about Emily. I was going to tell her after I told Spence. I had wanted her to be the godmother.
[2 weeks after Emily's funeral; JJ is about 7 weeks pregnant]
I was ready. I needed to tell him before I started showing. I grab the hidden pregnancy tests and make my way into the living room.
"Spence," I hear the worry in my voice.
"JJ? What's wrong?" He turns around, facing me with both tests.
I watch has his jaw drops. He jumps off the couch, tripping over his book. He collects himself quickly, pulling me into his arms.
"I'm pregnant," the shock had caused my words to come late.
"Jennifer, I love you," he pulls away tears in his eyes.
"I was so sure you'd be mad at me. I wasn't even sure if you wanted kids, and if you did, I didn't even know if you would want them with me," I fidget with the two tests in my hand.
"Jen, I would never be mad at you for that. I may not have been expecting a child so quickly, but I couldn't think of anyone else I'd want him or her with," he attaches himself to me, feeling me with warmth.
"I'm about 7 weeks pregnant. So I figure I should make an appointment?" I suggest.
"Near the 10 week mark, you actually can begin to see a pea sized mark that represents the baby," he begins one of his rants.
"So I should make my appointment on or after the 10 week mark?" I look at him with a sarcastic grin.
[JJ is 11 weeks 3 days pregnant]
I walk in the office, holding tightly onto Spence's hand. I hadn't been in a hospital since Emily's passing. The smell of serialized rooms. It engulfed me, bringing me back to that night. My breathing grows heavy. I feel myself slipping into a panic attack.
"JJ, it's ok. It's ok. Everything is ok," Spence holds me close, trying to comfort me, "just breathe. In and out".
I eventually become calmer. I just wanted to get this appointment over with.
"Jennifer Jareau?" A nurse calls out.
I give Spence a nervous look, before we head in. She leads us to a room where there is a monitor.
"It says here your 11 weeks 3 days?" How are you so sure?" She looks confused.
"We um. We've only had sex once.." I look at the floor, feeling embarrassed.
"Oh, of course. Let's get on with it shall we? If you could just lift up your shirt please?"
I do as directed, exposing my stomach to the cool air. I wince as she places the cold, jelly substance on my stomach. She places a sort of stick, and begins moving it across.
"If you can see here," she points to a small dot, "this is baby 'A'. And over here, is baby 'B'," she smiles.
I pause. Taking in the information. Baby 'A' and 'B'. It hits me.
"I'm having twins?!" I shout in disbelief, "Spence! We are having twins!" I crush his hand in excitement, my earlier weariness fading.
He has tears in his eyes, he wipes the cold jelly substance from my stomach before placing his hand. I put mine on his, closing my eyes as I smile.
"Would you like pictures?" The nurse asks.
"Definitely, could we have 8 copies?" I hope I wasn't asking for too many.
"Of course. I'll be back shortly," she closes the door leaving us alone.
"Wow, that's gonna be quite a handful—and I can't wait," he kisses my lips.
"How are we going to tell them?" The question pops into mind.
"I didn't even think about that. They don't even know we're dating," he stares at the ground.
"We could tell them tomorrow?" I suggest.
He nods.
Reid's POV:
I wake up to see JJ asleep on my chest. Her golden hair sprawled out. I watch as she stirs from her sleep. Sadly we had work, or I could have lied here all day.
"Morning," JJ says as she opens her eyes, revealing the ocean blue color.
"I hope the babies get your eyes," I say aloud.
She plants a light kiss on my lips before getting out of bed. She places on a dark blue, tight shirt. I notice her small stomach protruding outwards. I had read up that women who are pregnant with multiples can show up to their first 4 weeks of their pregnancy. She slips on her black jeans along with boots. I had placed on a grey vest with a blue button down. I pull into some black suit pants and loafers. JJ had been in the bathroom doing her makeup.
*time skip*
We emerge from the car, JJ holds the ultrasound pictures in her hand. We walk into the building, riding up the elevator. We see Morgan, and Garcia in the bullpen.
"Where is Gideon and Hotch?" I ask.
"In their offices," Garcia responds in her happy state.
JJ and I split up, I grab Gideon, while she gets Hotch. We sit around the round table.
"JJ and I," I start off, "are dating".
We wait for a response but are met with a light chuckle from Morgan.
"Kid, we know. It's pretty obvious," he smiles.
I give him a glare.
"Well, I bet this isn't obvious," JJ grins.
She passes out the ultrasound pictures to everyone.
"Spence and I are pregnant... with twins," she informs happily.
I lean over, kissing her cheek.
"Congratulations," Hotch says.
I watch as Gideon eyes JJ's stomach.
"Ohhh I'm gonna be an aunt!!!" Garcia jumps up, hugging JJ.
"Pretty boy—who knew you had it in you," Morgan teases.
I watch as a tear comes from JJ's eyes as she hugs Garcia. I couldn't wait for our children.
Hmmm... I don't know if I like this chapter. It's just mmmm, I feel like this chapter is a let down. I think I'm just at a stuck point with one of the MAIN characters for the book gone, lol. I'm gonna have to bring her back soon or else I won't know what to write.
