Epilogue- 2 yrs later.

"You've outdone yourself, Son", Rossi said, as he peeked over Morgan's shoulder at the grill. "Those hamburgers look amazing!"

"You just wait, 'old man'", he said laughing. "They taste even better!"

"I love the Fourth", Kari said. She took off her robe, donning a sparkly red two piece and got up to head to the pool. "The weather is perfect for swimming!" She jumped in head to first to the pool and splashed happily.

Reid groaned inwardly, looking at his wife.

"I see you, Pretty Boy", Morgan said, coming up to him.

"It's like we're newly weds all over again", he said. "She started working out more and she's still thick, just, well her stomach is flatter and she's…"

"Toned?" Morgan said. "Yeah I know. Penelope did it too. Some sort of Mommy and Me class, I think." He sat down next to him. "Can I tell you something?"

"Yeah sure", Reid said, turning towards him.

"It's like, I don't know about you but, she's just always, on" he said, smiling. "I walk in the door, kiss my little baby girl, and then it's on!"

"Oh, good", Reid said. "I thought it was just me. Kari is the same way. It's like when she was…" He looked across the pool and saw Kari and Penelope sitting on the side of the pool, kicking their feet, watching Angela and Arthur play. "Nah, couldn't be."

"Couldn't be what?" Hotch said, walking over. Jack and Jakob headed to the kiddie pool where Angela and Arthur were.

"Well we were just remarking about the ladies rising hormones", Morgan said. "Has Emily been…"

"Charged up?" Hotch said laughing as he watched his wife walk over to the women by the pool. "Yeah she has. No complaints here, though." Hotch said smiling.

"JJ told me to beat it", Will said laughing, grabbing a beer and sitting down with the men. "What ya'll chattin' 'bout?"

"The collective raised hormone levels of our wives", Reid said. "I'm a newlywed again."

"So are we", Hotch and Morgan said together.

"I never stopped", Will said, earning a light punch in the arm from Morgan.

"I wonder if Rossi is going through this too", Reid said.

"Hey Man!" Morgan said. "That's my momma!"

"Who's momma?" Rossi said, coming over to the men. "Why are you guys over here, when there are some delectable, beautiful ladies over there?"

"We're talking about them", Reid said.

"Oh", Rossi said. "Are they in trouble?" he said wiggling his eyebrows.

"I'm going to turn the meat, I do not need to hear this", Morgan said, chuckling as he headed back to the grill.

"It seems as though the girls are little charged", Hotch said, taking a sip from his beer.

"Ah, summer heat", Rossi said. "It happens around this time. Especially since they've taken to their health more."

"Are you experiencing that with Fran?" Reid asked.

"I can hear you!" Morgan bellowed from the grill. Rossi lowered his voice.

"My Bella is, as you young folks say, on point", Rossi said with a chuckle.

Morgan came back over. "What did you say? What did he say?"

"Don't worry about it Youngster", Rossi said walking over to Fran and kissing her cheek.

The team sat at the table eating, watching the kids at the smaller table.

"This is what it's all about", Rossi said. "Family all together."

"Absolutely", Penelope said. She stood up from the table. "So we have some gifts for you guys."

"Um, all of us, Kitten?" Rossi said.

"Yep", JJ said. "All of you." She got up and followed Penelope and Kari joined them.

"Jayje?" Will said.

"It's OK Will", she said. "So we've all been working out lately", JJ started.

"And it's important to stay in shape", Penelope said.

"I mean who doesn't want to look good for they're men?" Kari said.

"OK, Bella what is this about?" Rossi said, looking at Fran.

"The children have something to say to their daddies", Fran said, with a giggle.

The girls called over the kids. Jack stood with Jakob's hand in his. "We're family." Jack said.

"Family", Jakob repeated.

Henry stood next to JJ. "And we're about to get bigger!" he screamed.

"I'm sorry what?" Will said standing up. "Are you for real?"

JJ nodded as Will picked her up and twirled her around. "How far?" Will asked.

"6 weeks", JJ said, tears streaming down her eyes.

Penelope whispered in her daughter's ear.

"And we getting baby boy!" Angela said giggling.

"Wha?" Moran said, jumping up. "What? How do you know?"

Penelope handed him a sonogram. "They're pretty sure, Hotstuff. Are you happy?"

Morgan grabbed Penelope and kissed her deeply. Her picked up Angela and blew on her tummy to make her laugh.

"More than happy, Mama", he said, hugging her. "More than happy."

Reid stood up on shaky legs. "Kari?"

Arthur walked forward. "Daddy?" he said very clear. He was already in the second grade. 2 years ahead of his class.

"Yes Arthur", he said never taking his eyes off of Kari.

"We need another unique name like mine, possible for a girl." Arthur said. Reid bent down and picked up his son.

"What do you think?" Reid said, smiling from ear to ear.

"I like the name Poppy", he said. "Like the poppies from the Wizard of Oz."

"Kari?" he said moving closer to his wife.

"I got the news last week", she said, starting to tear up.

"Amazing", Reid said, kissing her. "You're simply amazing."

"Uh, Em?" Hotch said, noticing she hadn't gotten out of her chair.

"Yeah Aaron?" she said, smiling slightly.

"Tell me", Hotch said. "Don't leave me in suspense like this."

Jakob walked over to him and giggled. He pulled up his shirt and Hotch read it, smiling.

"Read Daddy", Jakob said.

"I'm going to be a big brother, finally", Hotch read choking up a little. "Really?" he said, kissing Emily.

"Yep", she said.

Rossi hugged Fran. "We're Nana and Gramps again", he said.

"Well...", Fran said.

"What?" Rossi, clutching a nearby chair. He stared up at Fran in disbelief. "But how? Are you sure?"

"Gotcha!" Fran yelled as the group laughed heartily.

"Oh Bella", Rossi said, regaining his breathing. "You're so going to pay for that."

"I was hoping you'd say that", she whispered in his ear.

Rossi grabbed a glass of wine. The guys grabbed they're beers as they hugged their wives.

"I don't know how this can happen", Rossi started. "It must have been one hell of a cold winter." He lifted his glass. "To family and all of our additions. The next few months is going to be truly crazy. May God have mercy on us all", he said chuckling.

"Family!" the group said.

As the sun set, the guys and girls watched the babies play and enjoyed the peace of just being with each other.
