Penelope walked into the room and smiled as she saw the beautiful little girl sleeping in the crib, she walked over and said, "she's so tiny", the social worker said, "she's perfect, the doctor just checked her before we called you". Penelope gently caressed the little girls cheek and said, "hi little girl I'm gonna be your momma".
Penelope turned to look at the social worker and said, "I'm sorry I forgot your name", the woman smiled and said, "that's alright Ms. Garcia and my name is Ms.
April Denton". She grinned and said, "I still can't believe that this beautiful little bundle is all mine", April put her hand on Penelopes shoulder and said,
"believe it Ms. Garcia because Megan is all yours".
They both walked over and sat down at the desk as they went over the little girls file, April said, "Amber is 6 weeks old and as far as we know has no allergies or at least none right now". Penelope looked over her shoulder and grinned knowing that the little angel sleeping a few feet from her was now her daughter, her very own little girl.
April said, "I have a few things here in this diaper bag, these were with her when we got custody of her", Penelope said, "thank you, everything happened so fast that I didn't have a lot of time to get things together". April said, "that is completely understandable, we just got her in a few hours ago and you were on the top of our list soooooo congratulations Ms. Garcia".
Penelope stood up and shook hands with April and said, "thank you again April, thank you for that beautiful little angel", April said, "it is so good to be able to hand a child over to an amazing person like you, someone that definitley wants to be a parent, we don't get that much nowadays". Penelope said, "that's a real shame, there are millions and millions of babies out there that need good homes", April nodded her head yes in agreement and said, "that they are Penelope,
that they are".
Penelope sighed happily as she walked over and picked up the sleeping child and put her in the carseat, after getting her strapped in she leaned over and kissed the top of her little head and said, "lets head home Megan". April said, "if you have any questions or need anything please don't hesitate to call", Penelope picked up the carseat and diaper bag and said, "thank you, I will" before turning and heading out the door.
Once she got her daughter settled into the backseat she closed the door and happily headed around the car and got behind the steering wheel, she said, "well Garcie it isn't just you anymore, you have a beautiful daughter, a very beautiful daughter named Megan Garcia". She started her car and said, "before we head home mommy has some nice people she wants you to meet".
About half an hour later Penelope and Megan stepped off the elevator and headed toward Hotchs office, she raised her hand to knock on the door and it didn't take long before she heard, "come in". She stepped inside and closed the door and said, "sir I hate to bother you but I need to talk to you about something", he looked up and said, "well who do we have here"?, she smiled and said, "bossman I would like for you to meet my daughter Megan and Megan mommy wants you to meet the bossman Aaron Hotchner".
Hotch stood up and walked around the desk and said, "ohhhhh Garcia she's gorgeous", she said, "thank you sir", he said, "I didn't know that you were trying to adopt". She said, "I've always wanted children and the doctors said that I might not be able to conceive because of the scarring on my tubes", he put his hand on her shoulder and said, "I'm so sorry Garcia".
She said, "thanks bossman", he said, "you are going to be a great mommy", she said, "do you really think so sir"?, he nodded his head and said, "I know so", she said, "if it's alright I would like for the team to meet our newest member"?, he said, "of course", he picked up his cell and dialed JJ's number and said, "can you get the team together in the round table room in 5"?, she said, "sure thing Hotch".
He smiled and said, "they will be meeting us in 5 minutes", she took a deep breath and said, "I'm nervous sir, I've never really done this before, I mean I have watched Henry and Jackers but that was different". He said, "Megan is a lucky little girl to have a mommy like you", she hugged him and said, "thank you so much bossman".
Hotch said, "I will talk to Strauss and get you a few weeks off to get your little bundle settled into your place", she said, "well first I need to find some place bigger for us, my apartment won't be big enough for long". He said, "Emily and JJ will love to help you look for a place", she sighed and said, "that would sooooooo be appreciated".
Hotch said, "we are all on standown for the next week so we can all help you", they were all smiles as they headed out of his office and up the hall toward the round table room. When they saw Hotch walk into the room Derek said, "please tell me that we don't have a case"?, Hotch said, "no case but there is someone that wants to meet you".
The team all stood as they turned to see Penelope walking into the room with a bundle in her arms
