"Penelope", Dr. Kragen said, as he gently patted her hand.
"What happened?" she said, goofily smiling.
"You passed out Baby Girl", Morgan said. "Is she OK, Doc?"
"Well, looking at her vitals, I think so", Dr. Kragen said. "I think someone just got a little overwhelmed. She's got fluids and we just gave her a little pain medicine to take off the edge."
"Oh good", Morgan said.
"Where is she?" Penelope said.
"They're cleaning her and weighing her", Morgan said, kissing her softly. "I'm so proud of you, Baby Girl."
"Thanks, Love", she said. "I'm sorry if I was mean to you. I love you so much, I…"
"Don't worry about it", Morgan said. "It was just the pain talking. But man, you can really be all kinds of cranky!"
"We're going to move her to her room if you want to meet us there", the nurse said. "We'll bring the baby there too."
"Thank you", Morgan said. "I'm going to give some good news and then meet you guys there." He stepped out the room with a quick kiss to Penelope. "I love you Baby Girl, now and forever."
Morgan walked around the corner to the maternity waiting room to his team; his family. Fran saw him first.
"Son?" she said, standing up.
"You have a very healthy granddaughter", Morgan said, hugging his mother.
"Oh yay, a girl!" JJ said. "Finally, we have a girl in the midst!"
"That's great, Morgan", Hotch said, shaking his hand. "Get ready to not sleep."
"And be a walking zombie", Emily said.
"Well, you've seen us", Reid said, laughing and holding Kari close.
"And I couldn't think doing anything else", Kari said.
"They're moving Baby Girl but then you guys can all come back in a few. Room 203", Morgan said as he got ready to go.
"We're on our way", JJ said.
Morgan got to room just as the nurse was handing Penelope the baby.
"She's so big already", Penelope said. "I guess we'll have to return all the newborn clothes, huh Hotstuff?"
"How much does she weigh?" he said, walking up to the bed side.
"The nurse said 10 pounds 5 ounces", Penelope said.
"She's beautiful", Morgan said, looking down at his daughter with a tear in his eye.
"Here", Penelope said. "Hold her."
"I-I-I might drop her", Morgan said, as she put the baby in his arms.
"You won't." She looked at her husband and child and smiled. "Doing great so far, Daddy."
"I am!" he said a little too loudly and the baby started to cry.
"Shh, Honey. It's OK, Daddy's sorry", Morgan said as the team came in.
"What did you do?" Reid said, coming over to Morgan. "Here, come to uncle Spencer."
Spencer picked up the baby girl and she cried harder.
"I think Pretty Boy", Morgan said. "You magic touch might just be with Kari and Zig."
"Give her here", JJ said. She took the baby and rocked her gently. The baby started to calm and closed her eyes. "Guys are such doofuses", she said quietly to the baby.
"OK", Fran said, looking on at her grandchild. "What's her name?"
"Name?" Penelope said. "Sugar Foot, we need to name her!"
"Didn't you guys pick names?" Rossi asked.
"We did, but God help me if I can think of any of them", Morgan said, watching JJ hand the baby to Fran. Fran started crying immediately after hold her.
"May I?" Fran said.
"Absolutely", Penelope said. "What do you think her name should be?"
"Angela", Fran said almost immediately.
"It has many backgrounds", Reid started. "Celtic, Russian and Anglo Saxon, but all with the same meaning."
"What's that, Reid?" Morgan said.
"Angel", Fran said, wiping her eyes.
"It's perfect", Penelope said. "Hotch, will you give her a middle name? If that's OK with you, Hotstuff."
"Me?" Hotch said.
"Yes, Boss Man, You", Morgan said. "I think the Godfather should."
"I'd be honored", he said. He thought for a minute and then looked the baby in Fran's arms.
"Sophia", Hotch said.
"Oh nice, Hotch", Reid said.
"What does it mean Boy Wonder?" Penelope said.
"Well, literal translation, you baby's name means, Angel, Lover of Wisdom." Reid said. "Let me try one more time." He picked up Angela and cradled her in his arms. She fidgeted a little bit and then reached out his finger and wrapped her tiny hand around it.
"You know", Emily started, "they say, strong grip, strong character."
"Actually", Reid said, bouncing the baby softly, "The reason babies have a strong grip when you place your finger in their hands is due to the Palmar Grasp Reflex. It occurs at birth until approximately 6 months of age." He looked up and the whole team was looking at him. Spencer sighed. "Or it means a strong character", he said laughing.
Listen", Morgan said, taking the baby and smiling at Penelope. "Hate to kick y'all out, but…"
"We get it", Rossi said. "But know that when my little piccola bellezza is a little older, we're having a party!"
"Isn't all we do at your place?" Morgan said, placing the baby in the bedside basinet.
"Oh we do much more than party", he said, winking and kissing his wife.
"Oh Man", Morgan said, chucking as the team laughed. "TMI Pops."
Everybody hugged Morgan and kissed Penelope. When the team was gone, Penelope laid Angela in her arms and started to nurse.
"That has got to be the most beautiful sight I've ever seen", Morgan said. Penelope smiled up at him.
"I love you, Handsome", she said.
"And I will always love you", he said kissing her. A soft moan escaped her lips.
"Has it been six weeks yet?" She said.
"I'm afraid not Sweetness", Morgan said laughing. "Believe me, I'll be the first to let you know!"
*More Soon, love you guys!*
