3 Months Later:

"Oh god. Oh god. Oh my freaking god!" she kept muttering as she paced back and forth across her office. Penelope Garcia was in a crisis. Def Con 5 Crisis. Her boyfriend of 3 months, Derek Morgan didn't have the faintest clue on how to help her calm down either. He had tried talking to her, holding her, even her favorite macchiato hadn't gotten her to stop her pacing. She just kept muttering and pacing. Making an executive decision, Derek slowly backed out of the office and went down the hall to the office of Jennifer Jareau. One of the best friends of his girlfriend should be able to help.

"Hey, JJ?" Morgan called gently as he knocked on the open door.

"Morgan. What's up?" JJ put down the file she was looking at and gestured for him to sit in the only chair that was free from files.

"I need some help." Morgan started. JJ didn't interrupt, she figured that Morgan would get to the point soon enough without needing her to prod him to it. "Garcia is in her office and she just keeps pacing. I can't get her to look at anything or to stop moving."

"I'll see what I can do. This happened once before. I think I can snap her out of it. Something probably just took her for a loop."

"Thanks JJ."

"No problem. Can you tell Emily, I need her to meet me in Garcia's office? I figure it won't hurt to have her there."

"No problem."

10 MINUTES LATER

"How long has she been like this?" Emily whispered to JJ.

"For about an hour. Morgan tried to snap her out of it but he couldn't do it. So he came looking for some help. Did you get that bottle of water?"

"Yeah. It's right here. What are you going to do with that?"

"It's not nice, but I'm going to throw it on her."

"What? That's cold. I just got it from the vending machine."

"So, it will work presumably at least. Look, I don't like the idea but if we can't get her to snap out of it before anybody else notices Strauss will call for a psych eval."

"I guess that's true. I hope PG will forgive you."

"Me too." And with that statement, JJ took aim and the cold water hit Penelope Garcia square in the face.

"What the hell?" Garcia yelled.

"Sorry sweetie. You were pacing and nothing could snap you out of it. Are you okay?" JJ asked as she handed Garcia a towel and she and Emily helped her dry off.

"Yeah Jay. I'm fine. Don't worry about it. But I've got a problem."

AN HOUR LATER:

Emily found Morgan at his desk checking his watch anxiously and fidgeting in his chair. "She's okay." Emily said to him as she took a seat at her desk next to his.

"Really? Good. Where is she?"

"JJ is still in her office with her and she needs to talk to you."

"Now?"

"Yes. The sooner the better."

Morgan was up in a flash and down the hall to find his baby girl. "Garcia?" Derek asked from the doorway. His eyes finding Garcia and JJ embraced on the couch. Garcia's eyes were red and puffy from crying. "Baby Girl what is the matter?"

"Derek. I'm sorry. I know that we've talked about it and I thought we had been careful." JJ silently moved off the couch and out the door pulling it shut behind her. Derek sat next to Garcia and pulled her to him.

"Garcia. You're gonna have to spell it out for me here mama. I'm lost."

"Derek, I'm pregnant."

"Pregnant? Right now?"

"Yes Derek. Right now. And I'm so sorry. I know you don't want kids but I can't do anything to this baby. I feel like it's a part of me so I understand if this is the end of us. I'll come get my stuff this weekend, and,"

"Motor mouth. Will you stop and give me a minute here?" He put his hand across her abdomen slowly. "How far along are you?"

"The doctor called this morning said I was 11 weeks. That's why I feel tired all the time and why I keep throwing up. Derek are you upset or what?" Penelope looked up at him and waited for his response.

"I'm definitely not upset Baby. I'm so overwhelmed with excitement. You and me and going to have a baby. Half of each of us."

"Yeah Derek. Half of each of us. So your happy?"

"Hell yes. I'm happy." Derek pulled her close and kissed her until she forgot her own name.

6 MONTHS LATER

"Derek Franklin Morgan!"

Derek cringed from where he stood in the kitchen making his cup of coffee. His mother had flew in for the last month or so of Penelope's pregnancy to help them get the house ready for her grandson. Unfortunately, everything she had found since her arrival, yesterday ended up with her bellowing for her son.

"Yeah mom?" Derek answered while climbing the stairs towards his mothers voice.

"Mrs. Morgan. I can"

"Now dear, there will be none of that Mrs. nonsense. I'm Fran darling."

"Fran, I can help. I'm perfectly mobile."

"I'm going to have to call your bluff on that one baby." Derek said as he entered the nursery. He and Penelope had decided on an underwater theme for the nursery and the walls were a deep blue with various underwater creatures painted here and there. Penelope was currently sitting on the clam-shaped window seat/book shelf and his mother was organizing clothes and socks on the octopus storage unit.

"Jerk." Penelope muttered and tossed a book in his direction. She rubbed her belly and scowled at her fiancé.

"Baby. You know I was only joking." Derek said as he walked toward her. "I think you are the most beautiful woman in the world." He gently held either side of her face and looked her in the eyes. "Thank you for my son."

"God, I love you Derek Morgan." Penelope replied and then proceeded to kiss him with jest.

Fran Morgan smiled from her spot across the room. She decided to give him this moment with his fiancé. After that minute was up, Fran Morgan was going to do some renovations of her own. The current setup for this toy chest would simply not do.
