Chapter Fourteen
They got to work and headed into the elevator going up to there floor. JJ smiled at them. "Hey guys how are things?"
"Its going good. How are things going with you?"
"Not bad. Henry has a cold. That makes things very difficult."
"Can I come play with Henry some time?" Ellie asked. "I want some practice."
"Sure thing," JJ agreed. "Any time."
Garcia sat down in a chair. She smiled as she stroked her stomach. "The little ones have started moving."
"I want to feel." Ellie went over putting her hand on her stomach and felt the little movements. She smiled. "That feels weird."
"You should feel it from in here." Garcia laughed
"Do they do that all the time?" Ellie asked putting her hand back on her belly.
"You bet. When you're sleeping is the worse." Garcia smiled.
"Wow that's cool." she said enthusiastically.
"Want to feel something cooler?"Morgan smiled as he knelt down, kissing her stomach. "Hey babies, daddy loves you."
As soon as they heard his voice you could see them bouncing back and forth. It looked as though there was something trying to get out inside her belly.
"That's cool." Ellie said.
"It sure is, princess."
Garcia smiles at them.
"They are going to be going nuts the rest of the day now." Morgan smiled.
"Yeah, I know and thanks." Garcia smiled, glowing.
"This fits you two so well," Reid said, walking out smiling.
"Oh hush, little brother," Penelope told him. She was quite content with the family she had and adding to it only made it better.

At the end of the day, they were all heading home, walking through the parking garage to the truck, Ellie following behind them and then she was gone. Morgan just about went crazy with worrying, calling her name. When they finally found her she was with a man.
"Who is that Ellie?" Morgan asked.
"It's him, Daddy."
Morgan went after him and he pulled a gun on Ellie. "Back away or I kill her. Do you enjoy hurting kids, you sick bastard?"
"Not really, I just enjoy this one. Her mother pretty much gave her to me to play with and you came and took her away."
Ellie kicked him in the groin and he fired his weapon. It hit Garcia in the hand. Morgan drew his gun and fired, killing him and he rushed to Garcia while calling 911 on his phone.
"Is momma gonna be ok, daddy?"
"We're gonna get her to a hospital," he said, wrapping his shirt around her wound.
The ambulance took her to the hospital and Morgan and Ellie followed in the truck. Penelope cried out in pain but she couldn't have any pain medication because she was pregnant.
"I'm sorry, Daddy," Ellie said for the umpteenth time.
"This is not your fault."
"He told me something, daddy. He said Strauss told him where I was."
Hearing her name made his blood boil. As soon as he made sure all was well with Garcia he planned to pay Strauss a visit. As soon as he got to the hospital he was informed they had taken Penelope to a birthing room. The stress from getting shot again had brought on labor. He ran to find her and prayed everything would be ok. He found her door, flinging the door open a nurse instantly stopped him.
"Family members only, sir."
"I am her husband" he said. The nurse nodded moving back as he rushed to Garcia's side. "Baby girl, its okay I am here." He kissed her on the head and took her hand.
"Where's Ellie?" She asked.
"With JJ. She can't wait till the babies are born."
"Please, Derek, pray they are ok."
"I am, baby, I am." He pulled a chair up next to her bed then took her hand, holding it between his two.
"Where's your doctor?" Morgan asked.
"He said he had another patient to take care of," Garcia said.
The door swung open and a guy walked into the room in a lab coat. "Oh, your husband came." He smiled.
"Hi, Dr. Kraft."
"Derek Morgan." He shook his hand. "What can you tell me about my wife and the babies?"
"She needs to deliver because they are in distress. If we wait much longer we may lose one or both."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Morgan asked.
"Let's proceed. We will prep her. You need to get cleaned up and put on a sterile hospital gown."
"What's the chances of them surviving?" Morgan asked, walking with a nurse.
"She's considered full term with the twins so this will be a normal delivery."
"Oh thank god."
The nurse helped him put a scrub top on, a scrub hat, gloves, and the little boots. They walked to where Garcia was to find her happy as can be, her medication had already kicked in. The babies were born without complication and they took them to neonatal for observations while they monitored Garcia to make sure her blood pressure came down.
"How are they?" she asked, waking up.
"They are great. How you feeling, momma?"
"Not bad. A bit sore but ok. Where is Ellie?"
"She is in the neonatal nursery with JJ."
"Can I go see them?"
"I'll ask the nurse. Be right back." A few minutes later Morgan came back with a wheelchair and helped Garcia into the chair.
A nurse said "We need to get her feeding the babies so she can breast feed them if she wants to."
"Yeah that's what I wanted to do," Garcia said, as Morgan pushed her into the room.
"Here's our perfect little boys," Morgan said, as he put her in front of the twins beds.
"They are so perfect." She smiled. "How big are they?" she asked, not remembering if she was told or not.
"5lbs 4 oz and 5 lbs 6 oz," the nurse informed her. "Chance was the smallest and Connor was the biggest."
"Can I hold one?" she asked. The nurse passed her a baby and she held him to her chest, helping him latch on. "Should I try the second too?"
"You can, but it may be awkward at first."
She passed the second baby and he latched on like a trooper.
Ellie walked in. "What's momma doing?"
"Feeding your brothers," Morgan said.
"That doesn't look very comfortable," she said of the 2 boys held up by her arms as she supported them against the wheel chair.
"Its not uncomfortable in the least." Garcia smiled as she kissed the boys on their heads.
"They are so perfect. I can't get over it baby girl." Morgan smiled.
"Your very right, handsome."
"Can I hold one?" Morgan asked.
Garcia unlatched Connor and passed him to his father, he took him and cradled him in his arms.
"I don't want to drop him," He admitted.
"You are doing fine, handsome." She smiled.
He smiled, getting the hang of it, as Garcia smiled up at him. "Hey there, little man," Morgan said to Conner.
"So you still practising?" Hotch said with the team at the doorway.
"Kinda hard to practice these days." Morgan laughed. "Things are gonna get busier by the day."
"Looks good on you." Hotch laughed
"Thanks man."
"Can I hold Connor, daddy?" Ellie asked.
"Sure Princess." Morgan turned to Reid. " Bro, can you get me that chair?" Reid nodded and got the chair bringing it over so Ellie can sit on the chair. After she sits he hands her Connor. "Brace the head," Morgan said, helping her.
"What are the little guys names?" JJ asked.
"Chance and Conner" Garcia said smiling as she unlatched Chance.
"Those are nice names." JJ smiled. "Can I hold Chance?" Garcia stood up and passed her the baby. "I miss these days."
"JJ, your still young why don't Will and you have more?" Garcia asked.
"I have asked him what he thought of the idea and he didn't say no but he hasn't been in the mood to put in the time." Her mood shifted. "In all honesty, Garcie, I'm not sure how I feel about Will anymore."
"Oh, hunny, if you need to talk, come find me."
"I will be over often to coddle the kiddos anyway."
"You're more than welcome to anytime you would like." Garcia smiled as she leaned back in her wheel chair.
"Congrats once again, guys." Rossi smiled.
"Thanks." Penelope looked to Morgan, "When are we going home?
"Tomorrow, for you, baby girl, but the babies require a few more days."
"You can't think I am leaving here without my boys!"
Morgan looked with sad eyes. "I know, princess, but we can come visit them."
"Derek, how are they going to get feed without me? I am the carrier of their food." She pouted. "I am
not going and that is final!" She stomped in the wheelchair.
"Garcia, you are such a hard head."
"Damn straight, and I am not leaving here until they are with me."
