"Daddy!" Brooklyn screamed, wriggling to be let down.
Elle complied, asking, "How are you doing?"
"Great now." Spencer answered with a smile as Brooklyn threw her arms around one of his arms.
Elle walked over and helped Brooklyn up onto the bed. Spencer moved his legs and she sat carefully down on the bed. Then she leaned forward to accept a kiss from her husband.
"Would you look at that!" Morgan whistled from the doorway.
Elle and Spencer broke apart and both looked towards him – or more accurately them. The entire team was there. Garcia looked to be taking a video with her phone.
"Uh, um…" Spencer stuttered. He looked at Elle with wide eyes, and she could practically hear his questions: What do I say now? How much do they know?
"They figured it out." She said, putting her husband at ease.
Elle was just glad that she wasn't far enough along for the team to see that she was pregnant. That would cause quite a few more rounds of screaming. Then she saw the quizzical way Hotch kept glancing at her midsection.
A curse almost escaped her lips, but she said instead, "Zip it, Hotchner."
That raised eyebrows all across the room as the team migrated past the doorjamb.
Hotch's own eyes went up. "I didn't say a word."
"I apologize for her." Spencer put in. "She's not responsible for what come out of her mouth right now."
"Or the next six or so months, right?" Hotch asked.
Spencer grinned as Elle squawked, "I said zip it!"
Hotch smirked. "Why should I listen to you? You're a civilian."
"No she's not, not exactly." JJ piped up. "She's a training officer in the police academy. Will told me so. However, he failed to mention that you were married – to SPENCE!"
Elle and Spencer both burst out laughing. It was funny that they had been able to dupe the other profilers so thoroughly.
When the laughter had subsided, Spencer moved to one side of the bed, leaving a little room on the opposite side. Brooklyn scrambled closer to lie in her daddy's arms. All these new people made her nervous. The others began talking amongst themselves and for a long while no one noticed the father and daughter in the bed. Eventually, Elle glanced down at them and smiled. They were both asleep and Spencer had gathered Brooklyn close to his chest. It looked picture book perfect.
"Quite a family we have here, huh?" Morgan came up behind her and asked.
Elle smiled and nodded. "I've really missed this, and you guys."
"Yeah?" Garcia asked, having overheard. "Well, just so you know, we're not going to let you go again."
"Who says I intended to leave again?" Elle asked.
Fun fact, this is the first storyline I came up with outside of my Leah/Reid series. This is the end of this story. Please review! Thanks. :)
