~Three Months Later~

Joey's POV*

I sat in a small room with Ashley. She smiled as she looked at the screen, showing our baby. The doctor went on about normal things during the first and second trimester of pregnancy.

"You're approximately 17 weeks." The doctor stated. Ashley turned her head and looked at me. She held her hand out, and I took it gently, lacing our fingers together. "First baby?" The doctor asked.

"Yeah." I nodded. She smiled at the both of us.

"Would you like pictures?" The doctor asked.

"Please." Ashley nodded.

It wasn't long until they printed small photos and gave them to us, then sending us off.

Ashley looked through the photos as I drove home. Occasionally, I'd steal glances her. She'd smile, or look down at her stomach, and wipe the occasional tear. It made me smile when she did.

"I can't wait." She muttered. I smiled once again, and gently laid my hand on her thigh.

"Neither can I, baby." I grinned. I couldn't be any happier right now. All that mattered was my wife and my baby were healthy. It was only a matter of months until our baby was here.

"Arlo." She whispered.

"What?" I asked, taking a quick look at her.

"Arlo. It's a name I seen, and I loved the meaning." She explained.

"What does it mean?" I asked.

"Fighter." She answered.

"What if it's a girl?" I smirked. She glared at me, and I laughed.

"Claire?" She shrugged.

"It's beautiful. What's the meaning on that one?" I commented.

"It's latin, and it means bright." She smiles.

"They're perfect." I replied as I pulled into our driveway. I leaned over and kissed her cheek as I turned off our car. Ashley exited the car and I followed.

As soon as we walked in, Ashley sat the photos on the counter, then sat on the couch. Within five minutes, she was passed out.

I smiled as I pulled a blanket over body and kissed her forehead. I returned to the kitchen. I sat on the bar stool, looking at the photos.

Just by the photos, the baby wasn't that big. Ashley had just started to barely show. Even after three months of knowing, I still couldn't believe this. My baby.

A knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. I sat the photos down, and answered the door. Kelsey smiled as she saw me.

"Hey Kels." I greet.

"Hey Joe." She smiled, "How's Ashley?"

I looked back at the couch. I laughed, "She's good. She's just passed out on the couch. Traveling and the baby's getting to her."

"Not surprising. How about the doctors?" Kels asks.

"Ashley and the baby are both healthy." I grinned.

"Good. You seem thrilled about this." She laughs.

"I am. Just seeing the photos from the ultrasound make me happy." I nod.

"You have pictures! Can I see?" She squealed.

"Yeah. Come in." I laughed. I stepped away from the door, and she walked in. I shut the door, and walked to the kitchen. Kelsey followed me and I showed her the pictures. She grinned and squealed.

I guess Ashley woke up. She came in and laid her head against my back. I turned around and Ashley leaned into my body. I placed my arm around her body.

"Awh! It's soo tiny!" Kelsey squealed. Ashley smiled as she laid her hand on her small stomach. "She's gonna be beautiful."

"Kels, we don't even know yet. I still have another month." Ashley replied.

"So, names?" Kels asked.

"They're not definite, but I like Arlo and Claire." Ashley smiled.

"So, what about you, Joe?" Kelsey asked me.

"I like them too. Especially Arlo, it's nice and unique." I responded.

"Does it have a meaning?" She asks.

"It means Fighter." Ashley smiled.

"It's literally perfect!" Kelsey grinned.

"But I also like Donald." Ashley continues.

"What? Donald, but no Joseph?" I tease.

"Okay, so I looked those up. Donald means Ruler of the world. Joseph means He will add." She states.

"Nice to know that my brother is the ruler of the world." I laughed. She shook her head and kissed my cheek.

"So. Tell me everything." Kelsey demanded.

"I'm 17 weeks," Ashley started, "I'm showing; just barely." Ashley removed her hand from her stomach, letting Kelsey see.

"Oh!" Kelsey grinned.

~*~*~

Ashley snuggled into my body as she fell asleep. It wasn't long until I was asleep too.

"Buddy, come on. Let's go see mommy." I called to my kid. I smiled as a little boy came into view. He was running around in my sneakers.

"Daddy! Look I'm just like you!" He grinned.

"Yeah. Come on. Go get your own shoes and we'll go visit mommy." I smiled. He nodded and ran to the front of the house. I slid my hoodie on and met him. "Here buddy. Put your jacket on."

He nodded and put it on, like I said too. "I'm ready!" He yelled.

"Hey, I'm right here. No need for yelling." I start.

"I'm sorry daddy." He frowned.

I smiled as I ruffled his hair. "It's okay. Just don't yell." I grabbed his little beanie and put it on his head. He smiled up at me and grabbed my hand.

He followed me to the car, and I helped him im. Then getting in myself.

It wasn't long until we arrived at the federal building. I got out, then helped my son. I carried him inside and we upstairs to the BAU office.

As we walked through the doors, my son's eyes caught his mother's.

"Mommy!" He squealed. Ashley came over, she kissed my cheek and took him out of my arms.

"Hey bud." She smiled, kissing his forehead.

"We wanted to see you." I spoke up.

"Well, it was a great surprise." Ashley grinned. She quickly kissed me and bounced our son on her hip. He wrapped his tiny arm around her neck.

"Daddy said I'm just like him." He spoke.

"Oh really?" Ashley laughed.

"I wanna be just like him!" He declared.

"Well, your daddy is the most amazing man on God's green earth." She smiled.

"He is. He's the best daddy ever." He agreed.

"That reminds me." Ashley states, turning to me.

"Yeah?" I responded.

"Babe, I'm pregnant." She announced.

***

I woke up, my dream replaying in my head. I was confused, but I was happy and satisfied by the dream. Like it was a glimpse into the future with my family. I shook my head, and rolled over.

Ashley snuggled into my body again. My arms went around her waist. I kissed her forehead, "I love you."
