Chapter 4:

Monday morning…

"It's just hormones I'm fine," Garcia kept reassuring Morgan over and over when Monday morning rolled around.

Morgan nodded at her despite how unsure he was of that very fact. To him she just seemed to have no energy at all; instead of being her usual bubbly self she'd spent much of the weekend with her eyes closed and her head on him or a pillow.

"Seriously," She said as they headed out the door for work, "If I get worn out I'll call it a day, alright hot stuff."

"Alright," Morgan agreed, "In the meantime I'll just worry about you."

She smiled before saying, "And I'll appreciate it very much despite how annoying it is."

He just smiled back in response as he opened the car door for her.

45 minutes later, BAU Headquarters…

"Good to have you both back," Emily said to both Garcia and JJ as they waited for this morning's briefing to start.

Reid nodded in agreement before JJ spoke, "It feels like I've been gone forever."

"Three months away from this job is a lifetime," Morgan piped up, "I can't imagine being away from it for that long."

"Try 10 years," Rossi said as he joined them in the conference room.

"You bring up a very good point," JJ replied with a smile they had all missed seeing while she was gone before their leader, Hotch, walked in. Once he called the meeting to order it was back to normal for them as JJ stood up to present their next case.

Garcia perhaps more so than the others was grateful for this return to normalcy because that meant that Morgan—God bless his handsome soul—would have something else to concentrate on besides her.

Nearly one hour later the team was on the jet to Utah where four high-school girls had been murdered in the past month. Seeing Morgan reaching for his phone JJ made her way over to him and whispered, "Let her be."

Huh?" Morgan questioned.

"I said let her be," JJ repeated before explaining how Will had been the same way with her while she was pregnant, "If something's wrong she'll call you."

"I know she will… I just…" Morgan replied.

He was however quickly interrupted by JJ, "Yes I know you're worried about her, we all are. But hovering isn't going to make any of this better."

Morgan nodded and was surprisingly able to resist the urge to call her until well after they had decided to call it a night in Utah.

"Hey baby girl," He greeted when she answered on the first ring.

"How's Utah, my chocolate Adonis," Was her reply.

"Cold," Was his answer, "It's snowing as we speak, how are you?"

"Good," Garcia said and she really was despite being on her own for the first night since Kevin's death.

"Ok I just wanted to check on you before I make an attempt at sleeping," Morgan replied.

Garcia smiled as she shook her head, "Don't worry that pretty head of yours I'm about to head to bed myself."

"Well, good night then Mama," Morgan said.

"Same to you my love," Garcia said right back before hanging up.

Much to Morgan's dismay it took three more weeks and three more victims before they were finally able to nail the unsub. As soon as the team returned to headquarters none of them were at all surprised to see him head directly to Garcia's bunker.

Garcia's bunker…

Morgan, himself, was also not all surprised to find her dosing lightly in her chair when he entered her domain moments later. Quietly he moved over to her and whispered, "Missed me gorgeous?"

With a sleepy smile Garcia opened her eyes to see that her dark knight had at long last returned, "Of course I did sweet cheeks."

He smiled back at her and thought to himself that she seemed to be glowing more than she usually did. Not to mention the fact that at nearly three months pregnant her curvaceous body was even curvier.

"What," She prompted when he continued to just stare at her.

"Nothing," He answered quickly before sheepishly admitting that pregnancy seemed to suit her.

"Why thank you," She said in response to that compliment, "Just wait until I look like a beach whale though."

"Not possible," Morgan replied with an adamant shake of his head before pulling her up to her feet, "Let's go home."

"Alright, lead the way my love," She agreed as she grabbed her purse and followed him out the door.

On the way out they waved goodbye to the team and one hour later they were finishing up dinner at her apartment.

"Ugh!" Morgan groaned out loud as he set his empty plate on the coffee table.

"Long three weeks, huh, handsome," Garcia asked with concern as she watched him.

He nodded, "Yeah I don't any of us slept much towards the end."

Garcia nodded knowing all too well that the longer a case lasted the less any of them slept, "I can't say the same," She then went on to say, "All I did besides what you guys needed me to do was sleep."

"Yeah but you need the rest right now," Morgan replied.

"Yeah I'm just hoping I'll at least get some of my energy back," Garcia agreed.

"Well according to our young genius you should have more energy in your second trimester," Morgan informed as he squeezed her hand.

Garcia smiled, "That's exactly what my doctor said, but enough of that for now I think it's time for you to get some rest."

He just nodded before resting his head on her shoulder.

Within a matter of seconds his eyes were closed and he was snoring. Smiling Garcia closed her eyes too.
