As the team got back to the hotel room, Garcia was packing up her equipment. Walking in behind Hotch, she spotted Morgan and beamed at him. He walked straight to her, dipped her back and kissed her deeply.
"Sugar Drop!" she exclaimed. "The team…"
"…knows about us." Morgan said smiling.
"And it's all good, Kitten." Rossi said.
"Where were you, Garcie?" JJ said, trying to keep from grinning.
"Bathroom." Garcia answered. "I'll be glad when we get out of this heat. I went to the hotel doctor for something for the nausea. He took some blood; they say it's necessary, just to make sure I didn't have a parasite ort something."
"Or something is right", Reid said.
"What?" Garcia asked. She put her hands on her hips. "Why do I feel like you all know something I don't?"
"Because we do, Mama", Morgan said. "Baby Girl you might wanna sit down."
"I will when you guys tell me what's up." Garcia finished putting her computer stuff away until Morgan gently grabbed her arm and made her sit down.
"So how do you feel about Henry and Jack?" Hotch said, trying to get in on the fun.
"I love them! They're the best munchkins in the world!" Garcia said. "Are they OK?"
"Just fine, Kitten." Rossi said.
"Somebody tell me something right now!" Garcia said, getting visibly upset.
"OK, stop torturing her. Besides, I still need her help before we get out of here." Hotch said. "Morgan, just tell her."
"Hotstuff?" Garcia said, looking in his eyes with concern.
"Baby Girl", he paused, "we're going to have a munchkin!" Morgan said, hugging her. He let her go and a stunned Garcia just sat there.
"Garcia?" Hotch said.
"Garcie?" JJ asked, coming closer.
"Penelope." Morgan shook her slightly. Garcia looked at him with tears in her eyes.
"I'm pregnant?" she whispered. "How?"
Morgan smiled. "Well, you see…"
Reid placed his hands over his ears, laughing. "TMI Morgan!"
"But how could I not know? How could they not tell me?" Garcia said.
"You were in the bathroom. You didn't answer your phone. And since I'm your emergency contact…"
"Chocolate Drop…"Garcia trailed off. "We're going to have a little person?"
"Yes we are, Goddess." Morgan pulled Garcia close to him and hugged her. Her tears flowed freely and as she sat there stunned.
"Mama?" Morgan said.
"I'm not married." Garcia said and began to cry.
Morgan started to laugh softly and the team smiled.
"It's not funny!" Garcia said. "I don't want to bring a baby here without…."
"Baby Girl." Morgan said cupping her face. "Don't you think I've already thought of that?"
"But you're just saying that 'cause I'm pregnant." Garcia held her stomach. "I don't want you to regret this."
"Does this look like regret?" Morgan pulled a ring box from his bag.
"What?" Garcia said. "How long have you had this?"
"About a month now. I just didn't really know how to do this. I mean a cheesy dinner or a walk on the beach…" Morgan slipped the ring on her finger. "But I can't think of better way to ask you. Here. In front of our family. With love surrounding us", he placed his hand gently on her stomach, "and the love we've created. What do you say? Marry me, Penelope."
Garcia looked up at her family smiling at her. She looked into the eyes of the man she loved. A small 'yes' escaped her lips and she nodded her head vigorously.
Morgan hugged her tight and congratulations came pouring in from the team. Rossi whistled.
"Alright we're doing this right. I think time is of the essence. So we'll plan when we get back and you'll have the wedding of your dreams. Not some rinky-dink courthouse snooze fest."
Garcia hugged Rossi. "As long as you give me away, and", she looked at Hotch, "and you walk me down the aisle, I'm in heaven."
Rossi and Hotch looked at each other and nodded. "We'd be honored, Kitten." Rossi said.
Hotch grabbed Garcia's arm and pulled her away from Morgan. "Do you think Morgan can spare you for an hour or two?" he asked.
"Sure, Boss Man." Garcia answered. "What can I help with?"
"I need to buy a ring too." Hoch said, hushed.
Garcia started to gush loudly but Hotch shushed her.
"It a surprise, Garcia. No one can know yet. I trust you…"
"Won't tell a soul, Sir."
"Thanks Garcia." Hotch cleared his throat. "Alright everybody, let's get ready to head out. Garcia and I are going to finished up with the P.D. and we'll meet back here in about an hour or so."
Morgan grabbed his fiancée and kissed her passionately. "You can borrow her Hotch, but you have to get your own fiancée." Morgan said joking.
Hotch gave him a thumbs up as he and Garcia walked out the door. When they shut the door he looked at Garcia and smiled widely. "I plan on it." Hotch said.
