"Slow down, Woman", Morgan said, laughing at his fiancée. Garcia was running around her apartment, throwing things in bags are mumbling to herself. "Baby Girl, we have time! You don't have to pack everything tonight!"
Garcia stopped and looked at him. "But we're engaged to be, Sugar Lump", Garcia said. "We should move all our stuff together. We should…" Garcia looked around her apartment and gasped. "Are you sure you want to marry me?" she asked, her eyes getting bigger. "We have vastly different decorating ideas…"
Morgan laughed and got up from the sofa. He pulled Garcia down next to him and hugged her close.
"This is going to be an awesome adventure, you and me", he said smiling. "You're flair and I'm not. The combination will be good."
"But how, Sweetums?" How do we blend us?" Garcia said.
"We take the best of you and me and make it work. For instance", he said, nuzzling her neck. "If we make a baby, it'll the best of you and me." He kissed her softly and she purred.
"Baby?" she said softly. "You don't want to wait?"
"For what?" Morgan said. "I don't want to be fifty changing diapers."
Garcia giggled. "OK. But what about our stuff?"
"I have an idea", he said. "Why don't we have a garage sale? You go through your things…"
She gave him a side eye look.
"…and I'll go through mine", he said laughing. "And we'll sell the stuff we don't need. Then we'll blend what we have left into our home."
"Our home?" Garcia said. "Where's that?"
"That's right! You've haven't been there." Morgan got up off the sofa and pulled Garcia with him. "Let's go."
"Where?" Garcia said, as she let him pull her out the door.
"Home", he said, kissing her on the cheek.
They drove about 15 minutes until they stopped in front of a 1920's renovated Craftsman. It was painted with pale green trim and light and dark brown bricks made the house seem inviting and homely.
"Hot Stuff!" Garcia exclaimed. "It's gorgeous."
"Wait till you see the inside", he said. They walked up the porch steps and he unlocked the door.
"Baby! It's amazing. You did all of this?" Penelope said in awe.
"Yep. It had really good bones. Most of it was just bringing it back to life. Look down." Morgan showed her the foyer floor. "These are the original hardwoods. I just sanded them and stained them a dark color to enhance the wood grain."
Garcia listened as he took her on a tour of the house. He replaced the floors, blew out walls, and created extra bedrooms. As he talked, she saw the light in his eyes get brighter. The smile he wore was so wide and it made her heart burst seeing him so happy.
"Are we gonna live here?" Garcia asked as they finished the tour in the master bedroom.
"If you want", he said in a small voice. "I thought, maybe we could begin our new life here."
"Oh Adonis", Garcia said. She leaned in to kiss him and both of their cells went off at the same time.
"Fudge!" she said.
"You know what we do", he said kissing her cheek. "Besides", he said, looking down at his cell and frowning, "we can christen our new room soon, as husband and wife." He grabbed her hand. "Come on, Goddess. Let's go save the world."
Arriving at the BAU, they found everyone at the round table.
"No fair", Reid said. "Morgan gets to bring his girl to work." He smiled at Morgan as Hotch nodded.
"I agree", Hotch said. "But we got bigger problems than that."
As JJ filled the team in on the case, Morgan sat in the corner a bit preoccupied. Important as this may be, all he could think of Garcia's reaction to christening their bedroom…
