Another update for tonight, please enjoy this is my favorite chapter in this story

Around the 7 months

Morgan sat on the couch resting his legs up on the coffee table in front of him. He looked at his phone wondering where Garcia had got to. He had arrived back from a case and had to take care of something before he came home and he had expected her to be home already. He had text her and she replied so he knew she was ok, but he just wanted to see her, he missed her while he was away and had always enjoyed their welcome home embraces, even before they were together.

He was about to call her again, becoming impatient when he heard keys in the door, he looked up at the door in anticipation for her walking through.

As Garcia walked through the door she smiled at the sight that greeted her. Morgan was staring up at her grinning.

"Aahhh my vision" she said opening her arms up telling him she wanted a hug, Morgan got to his feet to greet her.

"Hey yourself baby girl" he said pulling her in towards his body and placing a soft but passionate kiss on her lips. He felt her smile as he did. They let the kiss linger clear they had missed each other.

After a moment they pulled apart. Morgan rested his forehead on Garcia's.

"I missed you baby" he said.

"I missed you to" she replied still smiling.

Morgan hugged her again.

"I thought you would have been home when I got here" he said.

"Yeah" she said looking suddenly shy "I thought I would be too, but something took longer than I thought it was going to."

"Something?" Morgan asked feeling suddenly nosy.

"Yeah" Garcia said "It's something I need to talk to you about but I need to get out of these clothes first"

She saw Morgan looked concerned.

"Don't worry angel it's nothing bad I promise." She said leaning up to kiss him.

Morgan sat back down on the couch as Garcia went to change. Morgan heard a small shriek from the bedroom, he laughed knowing she had found his gift.

He watched as she came stomping out of the bedroom, holding a pair of shoes.

"Derek where are all my shoes" she said trying to be angry at him.

"And what are these!" She exclaimed holding up a pair of flat sandals.

"Shoes" he said grinning "Baby your other shoes are fine I just put them away where you can't find them. You shouldn't be wearing those big heals now, your way to pregnant for that."

She pouted at him,

"But my babies" she said.

"Your babies will be there when you've had this baby" he said motioning for her to come towards him. He grabbed a hold of her hip pulling her onto to his lap. She straddled his legs so they were sitting face to face. Morgan kept his hands around her hips, the belly between them was taking up a lot of space. She rested her forehead against his.

"Penelope, your shoes are safe I promise, and you can have them back in a few months I just want you to take care of yourself ok" he said.

"Ok" she said smiling, leaning in to kiss him.

"Speaking of which" Morgan asked, "How did your counselling go the other day? I'm sorry I haven't asked you yet."

"Oh" Garcia said "It was good, it doesn't get me down as much as it used to and she said to me that she's noticed a big difference in the last month, so that's a good things I suppose."

She hated talking about counseling, it was still embarrassing to her that she had to do it, but Morgan had been so supportive and always made those days easier.

"That's good baby, I'm so glad to hear that it's marking a difference, I'm sorry I wasn't home"

Garcia smiled and kissed him gently.

"Stop saying sorry angel, it's ok that you weren't here, I need to learn to get through things on my own" she said.

"But I worry about you baby girl" he said to her.

"I know you do" Garcia replied "and I'm grateful that you care. But it's ok really, if I needed you, you know I would have called."

She kissed him gently again, feeling him smile as she did.

"Anyway" she said to him "I wanted to talk you about something important."

He raised an eye brow, wondering what she was talking about.

"Put your eyebrows away" she said smiling "I told you it was nothing bad. I went to the lawyers today, you know, so I could pick up the final paperwork for the case now that it's over. But I asked him about something that I've been thinking about for a while, and you don't have to say yes, it's ok I understand. There's nothing official, I was just asking what had to be done but it's ok if you say no I totally understand" she was rambling.

"Penelope" he said cutting her off "what are you talking about?"

She took a deep breath in not sure why she was scared. She pulled out something from her pocket. She handed him a small box. He took one hand from around her waist, opening the box one handed. Inside was a small frame that said Daddy along the top. The frame contained the latest ultrasound print out of their growing daughter. Down the bottom Garcia had, had four words engraved Hudson Francesca Garcia Morgan. Morgan looked up at her with tears in his eyes. He didn't have any words.

"I know we picked a first name together and we didn't really discuss anything else, and if you don't like it we can change it, but your mom has been so wonderful to me and you are close to her I want you to feel like she's your daughter to you know?" She said still unsure about his reaction.

"You want her to have my last name?" He chocked.

She grinned at him,

"Is that ok?" She asked "I mean we never talked about that either, but when I was in the lawyer's office today, he had the adoption papers as well for us. And he said I can put whatever last name I want on the birth certificate no matter what it says that biological fathers name is. I just thought it was the least I could do, I can never repay you for what you have done for me, not everyone would welcome having someone else baby so openly, and you have just been amazing to me. I can't make this baby yours biological I can't change that, but I want you to know that in every other way she will always be your daughter."

"Oh Penelope" he managed to say. He forgot why he was holding on to her and pulled his other hand away to brush her face, he lent forward to kiss her but as he did, he threw them both of balance, and Garcia who was already on the edge of his lap due to bump between them went flying backwards. Luckily Morgan, with his quick reflexes, caught her before she hit the floor, pulling her up and moving her so she was lying on the lounge. He lent over the top of her.

"Penelope Garcia I swear to you I'm going to marry you some day. I can't tell you how happy you have made me. I love you so much" he said leaning down to kiss her.

"What did you just say?" She asked breaking the moment.

"I said I love you so much" he replied.

"No no before that?" She said.

"I said I'm going to marry you someday" he said.

"Why would you say that?" She asked quietly.

"Baby girl is something wrong? I haven't bought the ring or anything, it's just something I know I want. I'm sorry if upset you" he said.

"Oh angel" she said sighing. "It's not you; I'm just not sure I'm the marrying kind. Promise me you won't ask me. When I'm ready I'll know and I promise you that it will happen. But I don't want you to ask me and get hurt, I just need to do it my own time" she said feeling tears in her eyes.

"Baby, don't cry, it's not a big deal. I promise you, I won't ask you ok. As long as you promise me you're not going anywhere, marriage or not all I need is you" he said.

"Sugar I promise I'm not. I love, so much I just really hope you know that" she said.

"I do, as much as I love you." He lent down kissing her slowly and softly. He was going to show her just how much.
