A very nervous Penelope Garcia was sitting in the office of her immediate supervisor Aaron Hotchner, today was her first day and she couldn't remember being this nervous in her entire life. Aaron looked up and said, "I think you are going to be a welcome addition to the team Ms. Garcia", Penelope took a deep breath and said, "please call me Penelope, sir".
Hotch laughed and said, "only if you stop calling me sir, please call me Aaron or Hotch", she nodded her head and said, "alright Hotch", he grinned as he stood up and said, "very good Penelope". He looked at her and said, "we just got a new case and I was getting ready to fill the rest of your team in on the specifics".
Penelope said, "what would you like me to do si, I mean Hotch", he said, "I would like you to come and meet the rest of the team, I am going to need to put you out in the field today, is that okay"?, she said, "oh yes sir, I have a baby sitter with my daughter". Hotch said, "how old is your little girl"?, she smiled and said, "she's 2".
Penelope said, "her name is Gabrielle but I call her Gabby", he smiled and said, "me and my wife have a little boy he's going on 3 now and his name is Jack". She said, "are we the only parents on the team"?, he shook his head and said, "no Jeniffer aka JJ and Reid they have a little boy who's almost a year old and his name is Henry".
Hotch said, "I didn't see in your file where you were married", she said, "ohhhh I'm not, I adopted Gabby when she was 2 weeks old", Hotch smiled and said, "maybe on a day off our kids can get together for a play date or something"?, she followed him out the door and said, "that sounds like a great idea Hotch, I'm sure Gabby would love that".
The rest of the team were waiting in the round table room, Reid looked up and saw Hotch and the blonde woman walk into the room, Hotch said, "everyone I have someone that I would like for you to meet". Everybody smiled as he said, "this is our newest member Penelope Garcia", he pointed to Emily and said, "Penelope this is my wife Emily Hotchner".
Penelope held out her hand and said, "it's nice to meet you Emily", she said, "nice to meet you to", he then pointed to an older agent and said, "and this is David Rossi". She smiled and said, "ohhhhhh I just love to read your books, you are an amazing writer", he smiled as he shook her hand and said,
"it's always nice to meet a fan, especially one as beautiful as you".
Penelope blushed and said, "it's nice to meet you sir", he said, "please Bella, call me Dave", she said, "it's nice to meet you Dave", he said, "it's nice to meet you to Penelope". He then pointed to a blonde haired younger agent standing there and said, "this is Jeniffer Reid aka JJ and this is her husband Spencer Reid".
Penelope shook their hands and said, "it's nice to meet you", JJ smiled and said, "it's nice to meet you to", Reid said, "it's nice to meet you", JJ said, "do we have some time to get to know a little about her before the briefing"?, Hotch nodded his head yes and Penelope said, "I'm a single mother of a 2 year old daughter named Gabby".
JJ said, "ohhhhhhh I have a little boy that is getting ready to turn 1", Penelope said, "yes Henry, Hotch was telling me about your son Henry and his son Jack earlier in his office". Hotch said, "where's Morgan"?, JJ said, "he called, he's running late, traffic on main street is backed up for miles but he should be here soon".
Hotch nodded his head as Penelope showed everybody pictures of Gabby, she was a beautiful dark skinned girl with curly hair, Penelope said, "I adopted Gabby when when she was 2 weeks old". Emily said, "ohhhh Penelope she's beautiful", Penelope said, "she is the light of my life, I can't even remember what my life was life without her".
Reid said, "we can't wait to meet her", Penelope said, "I can't wait to meet Henry and Jack", Hotch looked at his watch and said, "I'm going to go ahead and start the briefing, we can fill Morgan in on the jet". He put the pictures of several women up on the screen and opened his mouth to speak when everybody turned their heads toward the door when the best looking man she had ever seen in her life walked through the door.
Derek said, "sorry man, I got here as fast as I could, traffic is a bear", Hotch said, "Morgan this is the newest member to our unit, this is Penelope Garcia". Derek smiled and said, "it's nice to meet you Penelope", she held out her hand and said, "it's nice to meet you to" and he said, "Morgan, Derek Morgan" and when he smiled at her again her heart started racing, "ohhhhhhhhh yeah this job was definitley gonna be interesting" she thought to herself as Derek sat down beside her and Hotch got ready to go over the case.
