Never Together Nor Apart

[Chapter 40]

A/N: I changed Emily's pregnancy time frame!
[Lily is 4 1/2 weeks old; Emily is 3 1/2 months pregnant (14 weeks)]

Emily's POV:

I stare in the mirror at myself. My stomach is beginning to look noticeable. I know I have to tell Aaron but there was never a good time to  do so. We had been so busy the past week with Reid gone. Luckily, he would be coming back today, hopefully giving me some time to speak with Aaron. I had mostly been avoiding him since I found out. I put on a loose fitting shirt, yet it still shows my small bump. I groan. I throw on some pants and my shoes. I enter the hallway to see JJ and Reid eating breakfast with Lily.

"Morning," I smile.

"Good morning," JJ responds.

"I'm gonna leave now, I had some paperwork I forgot to do," I lie.

"Oh ok. I'll just take my own car today," Reid nods.

"Thank you," I say as I exit.

*time skip*

I look at my watch as I exit the elevator. It's 9:27, so I'm thirty-three minutes early. I see Garcia down the hall talking to Morgan. Reid, Rossi, and Alex hadn't yet arrived. I throw my belongings on the desk before I climb the stairs to Aaron's office. I walk in and shut the door behind me before I stand in front of his desk. His face has a confused expression. He studies me, probably trying to profile me.

"Don't profile me," I order.

"I wasn't. Just wondering why you stormed in here after you've been avoiding me for the past three weeks," he states nonchalantly.

"Like I said, I need time," I mutter.

He opens his mouth to say something but stops. I catch his stare at my stomach. I feel heat rise to my cheeks. What if he had already noticed.

"Why are you staring at my stomach like that?" I keep my voice level.

"I-" is all I let him say.

"Do I look fat to you? What? I'm not as sexy as I once was?" I blurt out.

"Emily, that's not what I was implying. I was just-" he rambles.

"I'm pregnant Aaron, for fucks sake!" I yell more loudly than I had intended.

I watch as his eyes grow wide. He just stares at my stomach as I stand before him.

"Is it mine?" He whispers almost to quietly to hear.

I let out a puff of air.

"Of course it's yours! What? I'm I just some slut to you?" I raise my voice once more.

"Emily calm down before someone hears you! And no, that's not what I think of you," he stands up, meeting me in front of his desk.

"How far along are you?" He asks.

"14 weeks," I reply.

"When did you find out?" He asks as he closes the blinds.

"Around the time I started avoiding you. So three weeks ago," I admit.

"Why didn't you just tell me?" He wonders.

"Because I panicked, you cheated on me and you weren't even gonna tell me," I excuse myself.

"That was one of the worst mistakes I have ever made. I just want to be there for you and our baby. Are you're keeping it, right?" asks.

I stop for a moment, horrible memories flood back.
