CHAPTER 14 – D's and V's

Em and JJ were relaxing in bed with Emily massaging JJ's scalp and neck. JJ started crying, "Em, I love you so much. I can't begin to comprehend what it was like for you as a child who had no one. That will never be the case again for as long as you live. Your family loves you dearly."

"Honey, it sucked growing up the way I did but I refuse to wallow in the past when I have been abundantly blessed by my present and future. Let's take out your frustration on my mom by spending her money on the nursery. What do you think about combining to bedrooms into a huge nursery for the babies? Also soundproofing the floor, walls and ceiling we can add a childproof unit kitchen, and murphy bed."

"I like it. We can add a waste chute and stackable washer and dryer. I saw a beautiful cherry wood section round crib for quads. This is going to be fun because I'm really mad at your mother." They broke out with laughter.

Four people sat in a private office to be briefed on the relocation next steps. "The relocation went very smoothly and from all reports our identity is still unknown. We now have to assimilate into a persona of a third world native culture. In addition our recruitment structure must be overhauled. We have the capability to identify protégés as early as three years old. Our recruitment will now entail adoption of orphans and home schooling by our alumni. A few seizures will be planned as opportunities arise that avoids detection. Our medical staff has created drugs to simulate death and we will simply obtain the bodies before cremation."

"Among the Universities we don't own or control, which are few, articulation agreements have been drafted. We will provide undergraduate education with the Universities absorbing students within their classes and crediting them with hours toward their degrees. Students will graduate with credentials from the partner university and assimilate into graduate programs or our various positions within major corporations and/or governments."

"We have a two-day orientation scheduled for all. Let's review security and island access protocols…"

TWO WEEKS LATER

David R., facilitated assignment of Clyde, the BAU, Gabriel, Jane, Maura, Ambassador Prentiss, and Emily to the discovery and possible elimination of this powerful organization. Their identities have been restricted with exception of the group. The team has been assigned indefinitely to the project to be done in conjunction with their regular duties with the assignment taking precedence as required.

Morgan reported their findings in the Ukraine. "We spoke to several of the locals who were heartbroken for the loss of innocent life. No one new how many nuns, monks, support staff or students resided in the monastery. There were no records of any kind. The local hospital never treated anyone. The monastery generated its own utilities and grew their own food. They would pump money into the town through gifts they shared from wealthy benefactors. The funds would arrive by cash payments as they were told by the Abbess it was given to them."

Clyde was frustrated and impressed, "Merde, could this setup be anymore perfect."

Morgan continued, "We did discover that a few locals saw several busses and trucks leaving around 1:00 am the day of the bombing. We were able to determine that the vehicles traveled to a clearing that could have been used as an airport taxiway. Their were no signs of buses or trucks in the area which was bombed also. A forensics team sifted through the rubble and it was determined that a form of napalm was used to destroy any evidence."

Gabriel interjected, "They must have used an aircraft large enough to transport the vehicles which could only be military grade. They avoided detection by our military surveillance and are super efficient. If this organization has been in existence for years its resources can be unquantifiable. Also, we need to consider what we do with the organization once they are found. Especially if they used innocent children and implanted them with nanoscience technology."

Clyde spoke up, "David R and I will handle that aspect. Tentative plans are being reviewed and evaluated as we speak."

THREE MONTHS LATER

Dr. Sharon kept her office open an hour later to accommodate the Jareau-Prentiss family, which included the boys, Elizabeth, Jane, Maura, Tara, and Penelope. Today they will be finding out the sex of the babies. Penelope provided a drop screen and projector to serve as a dual monitor since they moved the equipment into the waiting room to accommodate the crowd.

Emily went first. Everyone held his or her breaths in excitement. Dr. Sharon circled what looked like a turtle. Triplet A is a boy. Everyone whoop for joy. Dr. Sharon circled an area and asked the crowd to guess…BOY! And Triplet C it took some maneuvering but she was able to circle the genital area…BOY!

Matt turned around grinning at his brothers, "I win. There are three DICKS!" The women paused to stare at Matt. Matt looked up, curious at the stares. "What? We made a bet and there are three penises for three boys. I win." Matt turned back to his brothers, "You two dicks pay up."

Emily and JJ scream "Matteo! Matt!" He knew he was in trouble when his mom spoke Italian. Who taught you to say "dick?"

"Dad."

Emily cut Matt off, "I am going to wring Clyde's neck."

Matt continued, "Uncle Anthony, Aaron, Morgan, Gabriel, and Reid. Oh also Grandpa Rossi. They told us that when we speak to women to call it a "penis. When talking among the guys we can say 'dick.'"

The women holding their laughter recognized the problem. Emily was holding back her laughter. She pointed to JJ to clarify the terms because if she opened her mouth she would crack up.

"Matt, Henry, Declan the guys meant that you need to say "penis" whenever you are around women and only when appropriate. You can use the word "dick" only when you are around guys and there are no other women around. Understand."

The boys said, "Yes ma'am."

Dr. Sharon turned around wiping her eyes from the merriment. "Emily, the babies look great and have good strong heart beats. Your lab results came back and there are no issues. Your blood pressure is great as well as your diet. JJ keep doing whatever it is you're doing to keep her happy and healthy."

JJ gave her wife a kiss and helped her off the table. "JJ, hop up."

Dr. Sharon gave a glowing report for JJ. "Let's see the sex of this baby. Dr. Sharon circled the area Matt and Henry yelled, "It's a Va-jay-jay!"

The women lost it. Declan turned red but all were ecstatic that they were getting a little sister. The ladies texted the men and made them aware that they were in trouble. Emily was especially animated texting Clyde.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The ladies helped Dr. Sharon return the equipment and straighten the waiting area. Dr. Sharon conferred with the group, "Emily be prepared to deliver the boys within 10 to 14 weeks. JJ you are looking at 12 to 20 weeks. However, you know how these things work the babies can be born the same day if the moon and nature are in alignment. Especially since you both were in sync enough to conceive on the same day. So my money is on 12 to 14 weeks. Emily the triplets will be a cesarean birth. JJ depending on the conditions you have the option of either. Who will be in the delivery room with you guys?

Matt, eloquent as usual, "We just want to drive thru and pick them up like In-n-Out Burger."

Jane whispered to the laughing ladies Maura, Pen, Tara and Elizabeth, "She is about to have three more of him." The women chuckled agreeing to that scary prospect.

Emily shared that she wanted, JJ, Elizabeth and Maura. Jane or Tara will be my alternate.

JJ stated Emily, her mother and Maura with Tara or Jane as alternate.

Dr. Sharon raised her eye questioningly at Penelope. Garcia responded, "Only in the case of a dire emergency. I'm too squeamish and nosey. I will be to tempted to look at the business end and will either spaz, throw up or pass-out from the birth.

After thanking Dr. Sharon for accommodating their family the group piled into vehicles heading to the Jareau-Prentiss house to review plans to expand the bedrooms into a huge nursery. JJ was still pissed at Elizabeth and was looking forward to sticking it to her.

The boys loved the fact that they were going to be big brothers to three boys and a girl and decided to be in charge of baby toys and names.

Everyone was task to pick names as a backup. Emily and JJ stated that they wanted to complete the nursery within the next 8 weeks before they become too ponderous.

"Our associate in the states provided an update on Maura's pregnancy. Her patient records indicate that she is using the name Tazia Esposito. She is healthy and having identical triplet boys."

"When are we going to seize Maura/Tazia? The optimum time would be in two and a half months."

"True but I am hesitant to acquire them. We need more time to guarantee we won't alert the wrong organizations."

"When do you feel the time would be right?"

"Perhaps in six months."

"Whatever you feel is best."

"Let's conduct an audit of our holdings to shore up any weaknesses."

"I will make it so."
