Chapter 9-

"Ask me again." Penelope was 8 months pregnant now and on bed rest. Derek was getting ready for work. Teasing her as she laid propped up by several pillows and a book balancing in her belly.

"What?" Derek was confused by her question.

"Ask me to marry you again."

"Why? I mean I get it if you want it a little more romantic but I thought doing it before we found out about having triplets was romantic." Derek had an important meeting that morning so he was trying to put on a tie in front of a mirror that was over their dresser.

"Come here." Derek went to her and bent down by the bed. Penelope started fixing his tie. "We've been so worried about being ready for the triplets that we never talked about what we want for our wedding."

"Baby, we don't need a wedding to know that we want to stay together forever. We can even wait until after they're born." Derek pointed at her stomach. It was moving a little and you could tell. "Princesses, I know that it's you giving mommy a hard time. Hey Lil' Man make sure you take care of mom. I love you guys." Derek spoke to her belly. Penelope teared up a little at his nicknames. "You, no more sneaking into the nursery just to look at the baby clothes. Only get up for the bathroom or for food. I love you." He bent down to kiss Penelope. As he did so he cupped her face and wiped off the tears.

"I love you too. Come back unharmed please."

"As you wish." Derek left for work. Penelope was getting paid for her pre maternity leave, but wasn't going to for her maternity leave. Penelope turned on the tv that was in her room and started to watch her recorded Jeopardy's from the previous days. She was happily in the middle of one of her episodes when a shooting pain went through her. From stories JJ told her she knew that she was having contractions. They started off slow like they always did, Penelope counted the minutes so she could be sure. When the contractions were reduced to 8 minutes apart she called Derek.

"Hey hun, tell me you don't have a case."

"No I've been put on desk duty just in case you go into labor." Derek sounded calm and distracted.

"Well guess what? 3 probably very lovely kids wanted to say hello." Penelope spoke through her teeth as each new pain hit.

"Oh God! Ok I'll be right there. I sent JJ to check on you so she's on her way. She'll bring you to the hospital and I'll meet you there. Ok?"

"Ok. We…don't have names."

"That's ok we'll think of ones when they get here."

"Ok, owww!" Penelope screamed in his ear.

"Hey Pen, I'm gonna help you get up and get you to my car." JJ helped her stand up but shortly after had to hold her up when another contraction hit.

"Owww wow. That hurt." JJ chuckled. JJ was finally able to get Penelope in the car. She put her sirens in so she would be able to get her to the hospital fast. Derek was able to get to the hospital a few minutes after they had arrived.

"Hey Baby Girl, how are you feeling?" Derek said when he was in her room. She was hooked up to a bunch of monitors that Derek didn't know what they did.

"I feel like I want to push 3 humans out of me." She said through clenched teeth.

"Hello, I am ." The doctor reached out his hand to Derek's to shake. Derek shook his hand.

"I'm her fiance. Derek."

"Yeah, I know. Your kind of famous around here." Derek chuckled. "Well your close to start pushing but your going to have to wait. A little while longer." he finished his sentence with a smile. It was slightly unnerving. The doctor left them to be alone together, JJ followed him.

"Derek, I'm scared. This is my first time I'm going through this and I'm having 3 right away. Then I don't know if I'm going to be doing this right."

"Doing what right? So far your doing everything right."

"Mothering. Parenting. Exceptionally parenting a boy. I don't know anything about boys growing up. I mean yeah I had brothers but we weren't…." Derek stopped her from ranting even more by kissing her. "Close." She finished her sentence.

"This is my first time being a parent also. We're are surrounded by amazing parents where we work, hell Reid could even be a parent he's read that much. Before I was your hotstuff, I was a boy. And what first time parent know what they are doing right away?"

"Thank you. You settled…my nerves…a little." Penelope winced in pain.

" …." The doctor came into the room and lifted up Penelope's blanket to check on everything. Derek became defensive until Penelope intertwined her small fingers into his long ones. "It looks like you are ready to push. We're just going to bring you into the delivery room, and only the father can be with you." He looked up at Derek and smiled.

*Hours later*

Reid, JJ, Emily, Hotch, and Emily were in the waiting room. Waiting to hear news about the babies. Derek rushed out and nearly startled them.

"They're here." JJ and Emily ran (literally ran) to him and wrapped their arms around him.

"Congrats. Derek" Rossi shook his hand. Reid blabbed a bunch of statistics that Derek zoned out.

"Would you like to see them." Derek led them to her room where Penelope was with the babies. It wasn't long after they walked down the hallway they got to her room. The three babies laid across her chest. All of them had a beautiful mix of Penelope's skin tone with Derek's.

"Aww, Pen!" JJ and Emily squeaked. They went to her side. They looked at Pen with eyes that asked if they could hold them. Penelope nodded. Each one took a girl.

"Hey Reid," Penelope called out to him. "Would you like to hold him?" Reid's face lit up.

"Yes, please." Reid said very politely. He held the baby look like a pro.

"Have you thought of names?" Hotch asked. Penelope smiled at Derek. Derek stuffed his hands in his pockets.

"Teagan Ruby, Melody Madelyn, and Spencer Michael Morgan." Reid's head shot up.

"Why me? There's plenty of other people he could be named after."

"Reid I hate to admit it, but other than Penelope I trust you with my life. And hopefully sharing a name with you he'll become a genius also." Derek answered.

"Aw, a little Spence 2.0." JJ joked. They all passed around the babies, while doing so Penelope fell asleep. She woke up later from the girls crying.

The hospital let Penelope stay for a couple more days. But today was the day to bring them home. A very nice nurse had brought Penelope outside in a wheelchair Derek's SUV was parked right in front. One of the back doors were open, inside are 3 carseats. Penelope couldn't help but laugh at the fact that his car became such a dad car in less than 24 hours. On the drive home it was quiet. Penelope stole some looks at Derek. Now that the babies were born she couldn't help but feel so hot for him. She closed her eyes and imagined Derek's hands wrapping around her. One massaging her breast and the other fingers plunging themselves in her hot, wet center. Penelope opened her eyes and noticed how wet she was already.

"You ok, baby girl?" Derek asked. His eyes still on the road.

"Yea…just thinking." Penelope said flustered.

A/N-I was so close to waiting to post this but I had to just get this out. Next chapter won't be a Morcia wedding. There is going to be an epilogueand that obviously is the last chapter but this story is going to end at 11 (if you count the epilogueas 11). I didn't really do anything with the eyebrows from last chapter but I've been thinking on doing a one shot with the Black Queen. The next story option is either a Shemar Moore x OG or Derek Morgan x Reader. Tell me which one you think would be interesting.
