Special thanks to MrsPenelopeMorgan for the idea!!

Just as Penelope got to her bedroom she turned around and gave Morgan a mischievous smile.

"But if you're thinking of taking advantage of me; let me call my doctor so he can revive me afterwards." She said causing both of them to laugh before turning back around.

"Hey silly girl," Morgan said and watched as she turned toward him. "I love you, you know that right?"

"I love you too." Garcia whispered with a small smile. Morgan's heart jumped at her words. She had no idea what she did to him. He watched as tears began to pool in her eyes, but she continued to smile and start towards her bed.

He couldn't take it. He just couldn't watch her walk away from him with tears in her eyes. So he quickly walked up to her and gently turned her around so that he could wrap her in his arms. She stiffened at first from the surprise, but quickly relaxed in his embrace. It felt so right to have her head nestled against his chest and his arms wrapped around her shoulders.

At that moment he wanted to scream and yell it from the rooftops that he was in love with Penelope Garcia; that he was in love with his best friend. But he didn't, not yet anyways.

He felt Garcia lean into his chest more and realized she was breathing slower. 'The pain medicine must be kicking in.' Morgan thought to himself and smiled. He slowly pulled away, but kept his hands on her shoulders.

"Time for bed baby girl." He said still smiling as he tucked a hair behind her ear.

She smiled up at him tiredly before turning back toward her bed. Morgan stood close by and once she was laying down he pulled the covers up around her and brushed her hair to the side. He then leaned down and kissed her forehead gently.

Morgan stood back up and noticed Garcia was already dozing off. He stood and watched her sleep for a minute with a contented smile on his face. Even in sleep she seemed to comfort him. "Sleep tight princess." He whispered before turning and heading for the living room.

Just as he was in the doorway he heard a slight noise. Turning quickly and looking around he didn't see anything. He stood for a second and then realized what he'd heard. Penelope's face was contorted in pain and a slight moan escaped her mouth, but she seemed to still be asleep.

The sight broke his heart and all he wanted to do was capture her in his arms and never let her go. He heard another moan and watched as Penelope unconsciously pressed a hand to her abdomen.

Morgan made up his mind; he quickly made his way to the other side of the bed, crawled under the covers, and slid closer to Penelope. He pressed his chest against her back and gently draped his arm around her waist so that his hand laid flat against her abdomen and the warmth of his hand eased the pain.

He sighed and buried his face in her hair. Penelope obviously hadn't known exactly what he meant when he told her that he loved her. But he'd fix that. Once they caught the guy trying to kill Penelope and things calmed down he'd tell her exactly how he felt. It took him too long to realize it, but he was in love; and defiantly not brotherly love.

He relaxed and felt himself start to fall asleep against Penelope's soft curls. He was just about asleep when he heard a gunshot echo in the street below. He jumped up and ran into the front room to look out the window just as Penelope too woke up.

So what do you think so far? Next chapter up soon!
