More Than A Feeling

Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds or NCIS, they're CBS brain child.

Summary: AU fic. Emily and Hotch are best friends. When Emily decides she wants to have a baby on her own she asks her friend NCIS Tony DiNozzo if she can use his sample that he donated years before, but what happens when her best friend Hotch falls for her and doesn't think this is a good idea?

A/N: No set timeline, but on CM's the Doyle drama didn't happen so Emily and JJ are there not Seavers. On NCIS there's no EJ Barrett so all's clear on that end. Only a tiny tidbit of NCIS is in this story and it's mostly Tony with small cameos of a few NCIS characters.

A/N 2: Wow 40 reviews? I'm feeling the love, the most I've ever gotten, :)

Emily squeezed Garcia's hand tight the whole way to the hospital while JJ drove.

"We need help." Garcia said as the two blondes helped Emily into the hospital.

"She's having a baby." JJ said more composed than the other two.

"I think they can see that." Emily muttered still angry about the Hotch debacle.

As the nurse wheeled Emily in, Garcia grabbed JJ's hand and said, "Should we call Hotch?"

Emily grabbed the edge of a man's hospital bed and screamed "You do and I'll shoot you!"

"Ma'am" the young nurse said "We need to get you to a room."

"Not until I stop them!" Emily shouted at the nurse "You hear me?"

"Don't worry, Em." JJ said "We won't call him."

The nurse wheeled Emily to a curtain area, and Garcia turned to JJ.

"Are serious?" Garcia whispered as they went to sit in the waiting room "We're not going to tell Hotch?"

"No we're not." JJ said "But we never said we wouldn't tell Dave who could tell Hotch."

Garcia seemed relieve and said "Oh you sneaky, woman."

JJ pulled out her cell phone to dial when she heard angry shouting and a woman cursing in Hebrew.

"I don't need a hospital, I only need a band aid and some ice." Ziva shouted.

"Ziva, you got hit in the head with a baseball, you need an MRI and a doctor not just some ice and a band aid." Tony said.

Garcia and JJ looked at the two and both said "Tony?"

Tony holding Ziva up turned around to the two blondes and said "Hey, what are you two doing here?"

Garcia looked at JJ and said "Emily's in labor."

Tony looked shock at that and said "Emily?"

Garcia helped a reluctant Ziva to the nurse's desk while Tony stayed behind to talk to JJ.

"It took?" Tony said "Emily never told me. She said she'd tell me."

"Yea, about that..." JJ started and said "Can you give me literally one minute?"

Tony nodded and turned his attention to Ziva while wondering what had happened with Emily.

The last he heard of this situation was when he talked to Hotch about not being able to go to the clinic because of case.

Garcia went back to JJ and Tony when Ziva was wheeled into see a doctor.

"Dave?" JJ said into her cell phone "It's me. Emily went into labor, Garcia and I are with her at the hospital."

"Oh. Ok." Dave said "He's here. Should I tell him?"

"Well, the thing is Garcia and I promised not to tell Hotch. But we never promised not to tell you, and you never made a promise not to tell Hotch." JJ said.

"Got it." Dave said eyeing Hotch who was staring out the window.

"Hurry up here then." JJ said seeing Tony look anxious for Ziva and for news on Emily.

Dave hanged up with JJ and said casually "That was JJ. Emily's in labor."

Hotch turned around and looked at Dave. "Do I go down there? Will she even want me there?"

"Well according to JJ, they promised not to tell you. But they never promised not to tell me." Dave said "And I never promised not to tell you."

Hotch contemplated that and said "Let's get Jack to Jessica and then we can go down there."

"Glad to hear that." Dave muttered "Don't screw this up."

"JJ?" Tony asked looking from her to Garcia "What is it?"

"Tony, you need to sit down." JJ said.

"Is something wrong with Emily or the baby?" Tony asked in fear for his friend and the baby.

"No, no." JJ said calming the man down "Emily and her son are fine."

"Oh thank god." Tony said "Son?"

"Yes, my gumdrop is having a boy." Garcia said smiling.

"Tony" JJ said turning his attention back to her "Emily's baby isn't yours."

"What?" Tony asked confused "She asked if she could use my... well you know."

"They misplaced it and Hotch well he..." JJ started.

"Replaced it with his own." Tony finished shaking his head and chuckling "That guy will do anything to be connected to her."

"How'd you figure that?" Garcia asked.

"Because I'd do that for the woman I love." Tony said "You do know he loves her right?"

"Well that much is obvious," JJ muttered "I mean what guy would pull this crap if he wasn't into her?"

"Yeah well she loves him too." Garcia said "You have noticed the last few months how she's looked at him. Right?"

JJ thought about it and nodded.

Ziva came out wheeled by an orderly who looked scared at the woman cursing in Hebrew.

"Ziva." Tony said smiling brightly at the woman "How's the head?"

"Fine I told you I'm ok." Ziva said rubbing the bandage on her head "Just a few stitches."

"Glad you're ok." JJ said smiling as she saw the two look at each other.

Garcia gave JJ a knowing wink and whispered "Just like gumdrop and the bossman."

The four looked up to see Hotch and Dave barrel in headed for the nurses station.

"News on Emily Prentiss?" Hotch asked.

"Are you family?" the nurse asked.

"He's the baby's father." Dave said glancing back at JJ, Garcia, Tony and a confused Ziva.

Tony looked Hotch over waited until the nurse said "She's in active labor and headed up for delivery."

Tony helped Ziva sit down in a chair and walked over to Hotch, "Can we speak?"

Hotch nodded following the younger agent out.

"You here to beat me up?" Hotch asked "I take it that JJ and Garcia told you about my... told you."

Tony nodded and said "As one of Emily's close friends I should punch you, but instead I'm just going to give you a piece of advice. Never lie to her. It takes a lot for her to give her trust. If you lose that, then you lose the best thing you ever had."

Hotch nodded and said "I got that."

Tony said "Good because if you lie to her or trick her again, I'll kill you and have a lot of people help me cover it up."

Tony started to walk away and said "Go win her back, earn back that trust."

As Tony was about turn the corner to go back into the waiting area "You know this reminds me of the movie..."

Hotch walked away shaking his head 'Tony and his movies.'

Hotch knocked on Emily's hospital room door, and a nurse opened the door.

"I'm the father." Hotch said and the nurse allowed him to come in.

Hotch could hear Emily breathing deeply and she groaned when she saw him, "Who the hell called you?"

Hotch said "Dave told me."

"I'm going to kill JJ for calling him." Emily groaned and tried to pull her hand from Hotch when he went to grab it.

"I'm not leaving you here to do this by yourself." Hotch said.

"I'm going to kill you too." Emily said as the nurse was about to leave "Get JJ and Garcia."

The nurse nodded leaving in fear of the mother to be.

"How are you feeling?" Hotch asked the woman he loved who looked angrily at him.

"How the hell do you think I'm feeling?" Emily asked "I feel like crap and I can't believe you're here."

"I love you Emily." Hotch said shocking the pregnant woman "I should of just told you that earlier, I love you."

"Now? Really you do this now?" Emily said.

Emily felt a contraction and groaned "God, get out."

"I told you I'm not leaving you." Hotch said.

"You have no rights to this baby." Emily said grabbing his hand squeezing when another contraction hit her. "God where the hell is that woman with that damn epidural."

Hotch lowered himself to be eye to eye with Emily and said "I'm sorry that I lied to you, and that I didn't tell you the truth."

"But you don't regret what you did?" Emily said breathing deeply.

"No, I don't, but I regret that I didn't tell you." Hotch said "I love you Emily."

Emily closed her eyes focusing on her breathing "You know, I started having feelings for you, until I found out from my answering machine the truth."

Hotch watching Emily said "Do you still have feelings for me?"

Groaning from the contractions, Emily looked up at the clock to time it, whispered "Yes."

Hotch kissed her and said "Please let me and Jack be apart of yours and the baby's life."

Emily's doctor walked in with a nurse "Time to check you out and start the epidural, Emily."

"Oh thank God." Emily said and Hotch turned his attention to her.

"Anything else you keeping from me, Hotch?" Emily asked as she got up to get her shot.

"Uh, well JJ and Garcia told Tony the truth an hour ago." Hotch said.

"What?" Emily asked "They just called him up to tell him that?"

"No, he and Ziva are here." Hotch said "Ziva needed stitches and they told Tony then."

"Is he mad?" Emily asked laying back down on the bed.

JJ heard Emily and Hotch talking, and walked away heared him making progress.

"No, I guess Tony said he understood why I did what I did." Hotch said.

"Oh great." Emily said "Of course he'd stick with the guy for the damn "bro code"."

Hotch smirked at that "Actually he told me that if I ever lied or trick you again he'll make me "disappear" and have his people cover it up."

Emily smirked and said "That's my Tony."

"He also said I better earn your trust back." Hotch said watching her closely "So are you going to answer my question?"

"What question?" Emily asked.

"Can Jack and I be apart of you and the baby's life?" Hotch asked.

"Oh alright, fine." Emily said. "Yes, you and Jack can be involved."

"I want to ask you out on a date." Hotch said "I plan to after our son is born."

"You got this whole thing backwards" Emily chuckled.

"Well we're not like everyone else." Hotch said "When do we do anything by the book?"

Hotch kissed her again and said "I love you, Emily Prentiss and I plan to make this up to you for the rest of our lives."

"You keep thinking that Romeo." Emily said chuckling "I love ya, but I highly doubt you can make up for this mess."

Hotch smiled at what she said and how she didn't even realized it.

"What are you grinning at?" Emily said.

"Did you even realize what you just said?" Hotch said knowing that she had meant it.

"No, what?" Emily said trying to rack her brain at their prolonged conversation.

"You just said you loved me." Hotch said watching her reaction.

Emily's eyes looked confused than widen in shock "No I didn't." Emily said realizing she did say it.

"Yes you did." Hotch said.

"Ah damn it." Emily said "Alright I did, but don't make a big deal out of it."

Hotch was interrupted by the nurse and doctor coming in.

"Alright, Emily." the doctor said "Let's see how your doing?"

Emily looked over at Hotch and said "Go get the team down here, and get Jack, so he can see his brother."

Hotch smiled at that and headed for the door "I'll be back."

Tony looked over at Ziva who was talking with JJ and Garcia deep in conversation when Hotch walked out.

"Dave?" Hotch said walking over to his friend "Can you call the team, Emily wants them to be here for when our son is born."

"Oh really?" Dave asked with a knowing smile, Tony felt a smile on his lips.

"JJ?" Hotch said causing the blonde to look up.

"Yea, Hotch?" JJ said seeing the smirks on Garcia and Ziva's faces.

"Can you get Jack down here?" Hotch asked "Jessica's watching him."

"Sure, Hotch." JJ said pulling out her cell phone dialing the number.

Filled with hope, Hotch walked back to Emily's room to help her bring their son into the world.

JJ brought Jack into the waiting room and Tony smiled at the little boy.

'Maybe this was the way it was meant to be' Tony thought 'Hotch gets Emily, and I get my crazy ninja.'

Tony looked over to see JJ sit next to Ziva to talk to her with Jack on her lap.

Dave sat next to the younger man and said "Learn from Hotch's mistake."

"Excuse me?" Tony said.

"Tell Ziva how you feel about her, I can guarantee it that she feels the same." Dave said as he patted Tony on the shoulder, walking over to greet Morgan and Reid.

Less than an hour later Tony sat in a conversation with Morgan and Reid.

While Dave was reading a magazine, Garcia, JJ and Ziva were entertaining Jack, and all saw Hotch walk out.

"It's a boy." Hotch said smiling at the happy group.

"When can we see the little guy?" Morgan said smiling thinking about his Princess' baby.

"You can all come back in 5 minutes, they're just doing a quick check up on both of them." Hotch said going over to get Jack.

Hotch took Jack to greet his new family.

Hotch knocked on the door and the nurse said "Mr. Hotchner, we need to ID you."

"Sorry." Hotch said holding out his wrist to have the nurse who placed a hospital bracelet on it.

"Hey, is that my special little man, Jack there?" Emily said holding her son and looking over at Hotch who held Jack.

"Emmy!" Jack said "You had your baby."

Hotch walked Jack over to her and held him up to sit with her on the bed.

"Hi, baby." Jack said kissing the baby boy "What's his name?"

"Matthew." Emily said "Jack, this is your little brother Matthew."

"You did it daddy." Jack said "You made him my brother."

Hotch grinned at his son, "You bet I did."

The sound of the knock interrupted the family moment between them.

"Can we come in?" JJ asked "Some of us want to see that baby."

Emily grinned and said "You better let them in before JJ throws a fit."

Hotch shook his head and opened the door and saw two blondes run straight for the baby.

"Where's my godson?" Garcia said rushing to Emily.

"Uh what do you mean your godson? He's my godson." JJ said smiling down at the baby.

"He's both of your godsons." Emily said which caused both women to smile.

"And the godfather is?" Dave asked.

"All of you guys." Emily said and heard Tony clear his throat. "You too, Tony."

"Thank god." Tony said "Hello my little friend when you turn 21, we are really going to have fun."

"Where's Gibbs when you need him?" Emily muttered loudly.

"Allow me." Ziva said breathed on her hand and smacked Tony on the back of the head.

This caused the group to laugh.

"Everyone, meet Matthew." Emily said holding the baby boy up.

Ziva walked up to the baby and looked over at Hotch and said "He has your dimples."

Ziva looked back at Tony and said "Wow, Tony. Looks like no one wants your contribution."

Tony gave her a glare but wasn't really angry "Funny, Ziva."

Hotch sat in the chair next to Emily and his sons and felt happy and hope for the future of his new family.

Emily watched as their friends left to give the family privacy.

Jack cozied up to Emily and his baby brother while Emily looked over at Hotch who was watching the whole thing.

"I love you, Emily." Hotch told her "And I'm sorry for lying to you."

"I forgive you" Emily said looking down at her new son "You gave me Matthew."

Hotch got up to join his family on the hospital bed and heard Emily whispered "I love you too."

Hotch kissed her on the forehead and said "This is just the beginning."

"Mm hmm." Emily said watching Jack fall asleep on her she looked up and smiled "Would you like to hold our son?"

Hotch smiled at her when he picked up Matthew and saw her wrap her arms around Jack.

"This is just the beginning." Emily whispered kissing Jack on the forehead.

"Matthew Aaron Hotchner." Hotch read off of the baby's bracelet "Welcome to the world."

Hotch looked down at his new son than over to the woman he loved holding his other son smiling he said "Thank you, Emily."

Emily looked over at him and said "You're more than just my best friend. I love you."

Paul Boese said "Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the future."
