(Disclaimer: I do not own Criminal Minds or it's characters)

Long time no see, and that's entirely my fault sorry, this story isn't that well received so I'd rather work on ones people will review and feedback on (thank you ahowell1993 for being a constant reviewer!)

Sorry for the delay! Like I said this story is going to have slow updates because I'm busy busy busy!

Just a short and sweet chapter because I knew I needed to update, but I didn't have the will to do a massive chapter.

Thanks for the reviews! Please leave more, I will be forever grateful!

"You're not pregnant, are you?" Spencer passed by JJ who had just opened a packet of crackers. JJ tried futilely to hide her cracker.

"Um..."

Spencer's brow furrowed with realisation and he looked down at her stomach.

"You are!" He gasped. JJ shrugged sheepishly and Spencer flung his arms around her, breaking the cracker she had been enjoying.

"I'm so happy for you!" He said, shaking his head in disbelief.

"What's going on over here?" Rossi asked, trudging laboriously down the steps. Spencer opened his mouth but stopped himself knowing it was JJ's news to tell.

"Well um-"

"How come you guys have stopped working?" Demanded Emily, slamming her files shut and narrowing her eyes at the other agents before breaking into a smirk.

"I-" JJ tried to explain as Hotch walked by with his traditional frown on his brow.

"Aren't those the crackers you ate when you were pregnant with Henry?" He deadpanned.

Morgan who had been eavesdropping after Rossi arrived dropped his file and gaped at JJ.

"You're pregnant?"

"This isn't how I was planning to tell you guys, but yes; I'm two months pregnant," she admitted and Rossi jumped to attention, kissing her cheeks in the conventional Italian custom.

"Congratulations, Bella!" He cried. Emily pulled her into a hug next.

"Congratulations to you both," Hotch said; a small and incredibly rare smile on his lips.

"I see Will's still got it in him," chuckled Morgan crudely and Emily jammed her elbow between his ribs turning his laughter into a fit of coughs.

"Really?" JJ raised her eyebrows and smirked at Morgan who hunched over clutching his chest.

"Don't be such a hypochondriac," Emily chided.

"You got me good!"

Garcia trotted out of her office and caught a glimpse of her team bickering in the bullpen. Her eyes widened and she scurried across the tiles; her dress didn't permit long strides so she shuffled along precariously; eager to knuckle in on the gossip.

"Hey, what's happening? What's going on? Am I missing something? It's not your birthday because I know when that is...have you got a new job? Oh you've totally got a new job...why am I always the last to know!?" Garcia hurried awkwardly on her heels into the bullpen; her mouth running a mile. Morgan held her steady and just grinned at her.

"Chill Mama, she isn't leaving...well, not yet anyway."

"Wait, what's that supposed to mean? JJ, what's happening?" Garcia glanced at each team member who had equally wide grins.

"Don't tell me they want you to transfer, because if they do I will bombard them with emails and letters...I-I will hack the hell out of them! I'll sue them! I-I'll shut them down! They'll regret messing with me when I attack their system. They won't know what's hit-," Garcia was already scheming in her mind how she was going to wreak havoc within the FBI's computing system before JJ quickly cut in.

"Garcia! Slow down! It's not that...it's...I'm...I'm pregnant."

"Oh!" Garcia's eyes widened as the news hit. "OH! OH, OH MY GOD! You're and... he's... baby... and... pregnant..." she waffled and she pulled JJ into a bear hug.

"We're having another BAU baby!" She yelled, bouncing around excitedly. She stopped and grabbed JJ's arms, shaking her happily. She looked into the other blonde's eyes her mouth hung open in shock before she muttered, "We have to celebrate!"

Rossi chose the restaurant and Garcia informed everyone's families before the team could even look at their phones. By 5pm Garcia and Rossi were already at the restaurant waiting for the others to arrive.

"What's taking them so long?" Garcia whined. She continuously glanced at her watch, her teeth rubbing anxiously against her gum.

Rossi rolled his eyes. "Perhaps because we were early. And they all have their families to organise."

"What about Emily?"

"Yea well it's Emily; I've gotten used to expecting the unexpected from her," Rossi chuckled and took a small sip of the wine he had ordered before they were even seated. As he set the glass down he caught sight of a pair of big golden brown eyes and curly hair peeking over the tables.

"I think someone's arrived," he hissed and Garcia whipped her head around as Eva bounced past the tables. The golden eyes found the Italian and made a mad dash for him.

"Uncle Dave!" Eva cried; she barrelled into the older agent and started giggling happily as he made exaggerated gasping noises in response.

Maeve hurried over; her cheeks flushed pink.

"Sorry, Dave," She panted, pulling Eva off him.

"That's okay; I love seeing the little bambinos."

"Have you seen Bambi?" Eva asked; she glanced curiously at Rossi who's brow creased.

"Um... sorry, Kiddo, don't think I've heard that one."

"Oh. Well how come you always call us bambino if you haven't seen Bambi?" She questioned.

Rossi raised his eyebrows and smirked. He opened his mouth to reply but the young girl was rambling before he could get a single word in.

"It's a film about a baby deer who's mummy dies and then he's all alone and a big-"

Eva rabbited on and Reid rolled his eyes as he and Georgy caught up. The small boy clutched his father's hand and had his tongue stuck out in concentration as he tried to mimic Reid's long strides.

"Sorry we're late; somebody lost their giraffe," Spencer said with a smile, motioning to Georgy who looked up with puffy red eyes.

"Well, you're not even late," Rossi started and he shot Garcia a quick look when she opened her mouth to protest that he wasn't early either.

"And I'm sure he'll turn up soon."

He turned to Georgy and ruffled his unruly hair.

"I expect your giraffe is watching cartoons and eating your cereal," he said and Georgy giggled and wiped his nose and eyes on his sleeves.

"Really?" Georgy asked; his watery brown eyes gazing up at Rossi.

"Yea, and I bet he's gonna eat all of Eva's chocolate too."

"That's not true!" Eva said matter-O-factly. She crossed her arms stubbornly.

"Spotty is made of polyester! He couldn't possibly eat cereal and chocolate," she explained, throwing her arms wildly in the air like her father did on cases.

"Ah right..." Rossi Mumbled.

Eva grinned and skipped off to a seat. Georgy didn't let go of Reid's hand and he clambered into the chair beside his father's.

JJ, Will, Henry, Hotch, Emily, and Jack were next to arrive and the profiler in Reid and Rossi took note how close Emily and Hotch were; they exchanged a quick smirk before their boss was too near to see. The boys scrambled up to the table. Henry immediately went to Eva's side of the table and tried to get into the chair beside her.

"Password," Eva demanded, putting her hand on the chair next to her to stop Henry sitting down.

"Huh?"

"You've got to have the password if you want to sit in the chair," she explained. Henry's smile fell and his eyebrows scrunched together.

"I don't know the password," he replied.

"Then you can't sit here," Eva said simply.

"I know the password," Jack announced; he grinned at Henry who had began to pout angrily.

"I'm waiting," Eva said, yawning and glancing down at her nails in boredom.

"Is it; Eva is the...greatest?" Jack asked. Eva looked up and licked her lips thoughtfully.

"Close enough," she took her hand from the seat and let Jack sit down. Henry stormed away and scrambled into the seat beside Georgy who beamed at him.

"Hey, Henry!" He cried.

Maeve pulled JJ into a hug and motioned to her stomach.

"Congratulations!"

"Thank you; now you won't be the only one suffering in maternity

Savannah caught sight of the group and dashed over, hugging Garcia.

"Where did you leave Derek and Hank?" Emily laughed.

"They're both as slow as each other. I swear Derek is teaching him bad habits."

She rolled her eyes before turning to JJ.

"And you! I can't believe it! Does this mean Derek and I have to have another?" She gasped, hugging JJ close to her.

"Yes!" Garcia hissed. "More!"

Morgan strode through the doors with Hank in his arms, peering out at the other tables. What hair Hank had on his head was jelled back slightly.

"See what I mean," Savannah sighed.

"My little guy has to look his best," Morgan winked.

Rossi rolled his eyes and the team took their seats. Hotch and Emily somehow managed to sit together. They exchanged a smile and their hands met under the table.

Eva waited for the adults to order dessert and become distracted with a conversation before ducking under the table leaving Jack staring at her empty seat.

"Eva," Reid sighed, setting his fork down. Eva held her breath, hoping that her father was simply talking about her and that she hadn't been caught.

"Come up from under there," he said. Eva frowned with annoyance and crawled over to the pair of black converse under the table.

A small head poked up from under the table cloth. She rested her hands on Reid's knee.

"Daddy!" Eva whined.

"I'm a deep sea diver," she informed him before ducking back under the table.

"I wanna go deep sea diving too!" Henry wailed. JJ glanced at Will who shrugged. Henry took that as his answer and shimmied out of his seat.

The team returned to their conversation and quiet giggles leaked out from under the table.

Georgy was too absorbed with his game of noughts and crosses with his dad to notice the older kids laughter. Spencer was talking as he played, and had let Georgy win several times. Jack, on the other hand, was sat quietly, occasionally swinging his legs out to catch one of the younger kids under the table. He knew he hit his target when a small 'hey' echoed from beneath the cream table cloth.

The waiter and waitress came back with their desserts; they barely fluttered an eyelid at the empty seats and instead set the bowls of ice cream on the abandoned placemats.

Spencer took his cheesecake from the waiter and almost threw it into his lap when a set of teeth chomped down on his leg.

"Gah!" He cried, dropping his plate on the table and cringing at the look the waiter gave him. He lifted the table cloth and saw Henry smiling nervously up at him.

"What was that for?" He asked, rubbing his shin.

"Eva said I was the shark...sh-she told me to bite you. Sorry, uncle Spence," he stuttered.

JJ frowned.

"Henry, did you bite uncle Spence?"

Morgan and Will snickered but the dark look JJ cast silenced them. Slowly Henry poked his head out from under the table and he looked up at his mother.

"Y-Yes."

"It's okay, JJ. They were just playing," Spencer said, winking at Henry.

"Sit down, Henry, and apologise," she jibbed. Henry turned to Spencer, biting his lip and trying not to cry.

"Sorry," he whispered.

"That's okay, just warn me next time there's a great white lurking under the table."

Henry giggled but quickly hicupped to a stop when he caught his mother glaring at him.

"Aw! We were playing!" Eva groaned, slithering up from under the table.

"Did you tell Henry to bite me?" Reid asked with a smirk. Eva nodded and blinded him with her own innocent smile.

"Well he was a shark, Daddy!" She said.

"Could he not have been a friendly shark?" Garcia asked. Eva looked thoughtful for a moment before shaking her head.

"He was hungry."

Henry shoved a heaping spoonful of ice cream into his mouth and Eva motioned to him.

"See!"

"Well, actually, Sharks attacks are rare. You are 30 times more likely to be struck by lightening that for a shark to hurt you," Georgy informed them before returning to his chocolate cake.

The team paused between mouthfuls and looked over at the young boy carefully eating his chocolate cake. They glanced at Reid who was smiling proudly.

"No prizes for who told him that," Emily chuckled.

Please review, I don't get many for this story and I need motivation to keep going with it... I was close to just giving up on it the last few months.

Thanks for reading!
