September 2004
Now almost everyone knew that she was pregnant, well at least the team, Megan´s sister Mathilda and Don´s family. Only Megan´s parents did not know about it. Megan´s sister Mathilda has mucoviszidose too and it is hurting Megan. Megan loves her sister and has a hard time with that. Don is worried about her because she is going through the same thing that she has been going through when her other sister Victoria had mukoviszidose in a final stadium.
Megan and Don knew by now that they were expecting a girl. They also already had a name for their future daughter Victoria Grace Rose Eppes.
One evening after work they were sitting on the couch when Megan had an idea. "Don I think we should inform my parents about their granddaughter." "Are you sure?" "No. But they will find out someday anyway. I think we have to do it." Don knew that the meeting with her parents is going to cost her a lot of strength. "Alright. Do you want to invite them of call them." "Well I was thinking of doing it at a neutral place you know, a restaurant or so." "That is a good idea."
The next day they met with Megan´s parents in a restaurant near the FBI Buildung. Megan and Don arrived first. A few minutes later her parents arrived. While they were eating their lunch Megan broke the silence. "Guys I am pregnant with a girl." "Finally. How did you do that Don?" "With patience and time and not with pressure." "Right." Don could see that her parents were not completely satisfied that it took her two years to get pregnant.
A few minutes later David and Colby entered the restaurant and walked directly to their table. "David! Colby! What are you doing here?" asked Megan. "We have a sort of pretty bad case. I think it would be good if you come back to the office. Charlie is already in the office." "Let us go" says Don and helps Megan up from the chair. Megan thinks for a second and says. "Mom and dad we will continue talking at the office." Her parents get up and follow them even if Don does not know what is going on yet.
When they arrive in the office and Megan and Don see the board with the victims they are shocked. The victims are young married women. Megan´s parents take a seat and wait for Don and Megan to finish. The team and Charlie are in a conference. When they exit the conference room they start working immediately. A minute later Don comes into the big office area and speaks. "Hey guys listen up. We are looking for a young man who is interessted in young married women whos husbands work out of town and are only at home on the weekend. Guys we need to close this case fast."
While they were working on the case Megan´s parents were sitting across from their daughter. A minute later David comes by to speak to Megan. "Megan I have to away for a little while." "David we have a major case. You cannot go David." "Megan please my mother had a car accident and is in the hospital." "Alright you can go." "What about Don?" "Do not worry about him I will deal with Don. If you need anything call me David." "Thank you Megan. If Don freaks tell him to call me." "No I will not. I will deal with him. Then let him be mad at me. It will be alright." "Thank you Megan." "Go."
While David is leaving the office Don comes up to Megan. "Where is David going?" "His mother had an accident and is in the hospital." "But we need him Megan." "Don calm down. He will be back when his mother is better again. Cut him some slack." "Alright. But that it not over." "Whatever." Don went back to his desk a little mad her parents noticed it. "Are you alright Megan." "More then alright. Even if Don is mad at me let him be. He will relax again.
An hour later David called Megan. He wanted to talk to Don and Megan called him to her des. "David you are on speaker and Don is here too." "Don I am sorry that I left but I had to." "I understand. How is your mother?" "Not good. Don I do not know when I will be back." "Take your time. We will be alright here." "Thanks guys." "Your welcome David." After ending the comversation Megan says. "Poor David his mother is the only family he has left. He really loves her." Don put his arm around her shoulder and says. "He will be alright Megan. He is not alone." "I know."
When Don goes back to work her parents speak up. "What happened?" "David´s mother had a car accident. He will be alright." Megan´s parents notice that she is very caring towards other people.
