The elevator door opens and he sees her – he breathes a sigh of relief, like he always does when she's there waiting for him. But something's wrong this time – her hands are balled in fists and there are angry tears rolling down her cheeks. JJ and Emily both squeeze her shoulder as they go by and she keeps her eyes fixed on him, grabs his wrist and drags him into her office. "You promised," she sobs as she slams the door behind them. "You took another stupid risk after promising you wouldn't." She wipes tears from her face furiously. "It's not just me and you any more, it's not only me you'll leave behind -"

"Hey, woah," he says, holding up his hands. "I'm fine, we're fine, it was just -"

"Are you kidding me? We're not 'fine'! It wasn't just anything – you promised." She throws desk drawers open looking for makeup wipes. "You promised," she repeats, scrubbing at her mascara, glaring at his feet because she can't look at his face.

"Sweetness, I -"

He reaches for her and she bats his hand away. "Don't," she says, and he drops his arm to his side immediately. "Just please leave."

"Penelope," he says, his voice low and quiet. "I'm not leaving until you let me -"

"Get out," she says, choking back a sob and clinging to the fabric of the dress at her waist. "I can't talk to you right now."

"Will you please let me -"

She shakes her head, leaning against her desk and staring at the floor at his feet, her hands settled on the bump just now becoming obvious no matter what she wears. "You can't just… Make promises and then…"

"Hey," he says softly, tilting her chin up. Big brown eyes meet his, wide and frightened. "I'm sorry. I'm sorry I scared you."

She sighs, taking his hand. "But you're not sorry you did it."

It's not a question, and he shakes his head slowly. "I meant it when I said it. But I couldn't -"

She sighs and settles his hand on her stomach. He holds his palm flat against her, keeps still, waiting for a kick. He can't help the stupid grin that spreads over his face when he feels it, and he kisses the top of her head. "You're an idiot," she mumbles.
