Your hands shake as you wait for the test to develop, your mind races with worst case scenarios of the boyfriends reaction. You and Aaron had been married for just over a year and hadn't yet talked about expanding your family. With how fast paced his job is, whenever the subject would come up he was needed elsewhere, he would always promise to return to the conversation but when he returned, the promise would be forgotten. The thought of a family with Aaron made you feel things that weren't able to be put into words. But considering his job and Jack, the thought seemed daunting. The timer went off pulling you out of your thoughts and you locked eyes on what appeared to be the most important thing in the world. Your legs felt like jelly as you crossed the bathroom floor to reach the counter. You picked up the test and did a mental countdown from three, when reaching one your eyes darted to the two pink lines. Pregnant. You were pregnant with Aaron Hotchner’s baby. Aaron Hotchner, whose job was as unpredictable as the mood swings you were to endure as a result of said pregnancy. The front door opens and closes alerting you of your husband's arrival home. You must've forgotten that he had called over an hour again to alert you that the plane touched down and he had landed safely and to not wait for him. You hadn't even heard him walking up the stairs as it was as if you had frozen in time. He calls out your name gently so as to not wake Jack who was sleeping soundly in the bedroom down the hall. You decide it's now or never (not literally but you're not thinking straight so it's fine) you walk into your bedroom from your en suite bathroom and lock eyes with a dishevelled Aaron and your heart breaks at his lack of sleep which is evident by his eyebags. “Hi” you start so soft the sound of your voice wouldn't have been audible if it weren't for the dead silence “i thought i told you not to wait up, rest is important you know” he went on while putting away his blazer jacket in your shared wardrobe “kinda hard to sleep when you're pregnant honey” you whispered. Aaron stopped dead in his tracks. “What did you say?” The question left his mouth void of emotions only making you feel worse “surprise” you trailed off holding a positive test as definitive proof. Silence encases the room as he makes his way to you in 3 quick strides. He takes the test from your hands as if to inspect it but instead he throws it on the bed and kisses you like his life depends on it. Your lips move in sync as any trepidation you had prior disappear in an instant. You finally break apart for air and your husband rests his head against yours, "you're really pregnant?" He knows the answers but has a deep desire to hear you say it again aloud. “Im really pregnant,” you reassure. You feel his hands tighten around your waist as a sign of his unwavering support and devotion to you and the newest addition to your little family.

Your eyes gradually open as you get used to the bright hospital lights. Once your eyes had taken to the lights you stared at the bundle of joy who had her daddy wrapped around her finger despite being alive for less than two hours. “Happiness looks good on you Hotchner” you teased drawing his attention from his newborn daughter “i have you to thank for that” laughed, you smiled in response closing your eyes to enjoy the calm after the storm “you were incredible, thank you so much angel” Aaron mutters while stroking a delicate finger over his daughter’s tiny,adorable face. Your daughter.
