Spencer looks at his wife wearily as she cradles Jenny. "Pen she'll be fine." It was Penelope's first day back to work and she was struggling to leave her daughter at the FBI's daycare.
"You left Athena here, before she started school." he supplies but she doesn't release her grip on the baby. "She'll only be a few floors down from you." Penelope glares at Spencer before looking back down at their youngest daughter.
Reluctantly she hands him the baby, knowing that if she doesn't she'd never let her go. "Mommy is being a bit paranoid." he whispers to the baby, but he understands her hesitation. After all Jenny was ripped, quite literally, out her womb and taken away from her.
Stepping out the elevator Penelope is meet with hugs from the team. "Baby girl, we missed you." Derek says hugging her.
"How are you?" JJ asks giving her friend a look of concern.
"Good." she says but a pointed look from Rossi and Hotch has her reevaluating her answer. "Really guys, I'm good, Just having a little separation anxiety from Jenny." Everyone nods in understanding, Emily grimaces remembering what happened.
"I sat on Reid." she blurts out trying to ease the tension.
Penelope raises her eyebrows, "Now this is a story I haven't heard." Spencer groans as Emily animatedly tells her the story breaking the icy atmosphere.
Two hours into paperwork the team catches a case. So they head off to their newest location leaving Penelope to her thoughts, for the first time that day.
"Baby-girl", Derek said on the video conference with her. "We need that beautiful brain of yours." As she rambles on about her findings, Morgan pauses hearing a small whimper that obviously didn't come from the tech analyst. Penelope face switches from disgusted to panicked.
"You didn't?" he asks his best friend, already knowing the answer already.
"I did." Not feeling the least bit guilty. Derek puts his hands on his head as she reaches over and picks up a whimpering Jenny. The baby's cries alert the rest if the ream who had been knee deep in paperwork. Spencer looks at the screen his eyes moving from hers to their daughter's who was happily laying in her mother's arms.
"Penelope..." behind him Hotch tries to hide a smirk, while Rossi coughs to smother a laugh. "You kidnapped her?"
"First off you can't kidnap your own child." she says causes JJ and Emily to laugh out loud. "Secondly I was going to bring her back to the daycare" At the teams disbelieving look she speaks again, "Eventually..."
Jenny decides to grab her mother's finger then and all though the current events Spencer lets out a smile at the scene in front of him.
"She needs to go back to the daycare Pen. Statistically babies..." Hotch cuts Reid off before he can start rambling facts and numbers, "I agree with Reid."
"I'm still working." she says pouting slightly as if sensing this Jenny starts wiggling in her mom's lap.
Smiling shyly she shrugs at Hotch's patted down unsub glare, she then promises to return her daughter to the daycare and get back to work.
"Just so you should know I am perfectly capable of multitasking." she huffs out, disconnecting the video call."
