Nine and a half hours later Penelope waited for Fran to bring the twins to the hospital to meet the newest addition to the family. Darren Sean Morgan had entered the world exactly 26 minutes previous and already Emily was pining for the twins to meet him. Penelope had offered to wait outside for the arrival, and just as she was about to give up she saw Fran drive into a nearby packing spot. She walked over with a smiled and hauled William out of the car while Fran grabbed their bag and Isabelle.

'You sure you're okay there Fran? I don't mind taking the bag.'

'Penelope be quiet...I have it under control honestly.' Fran said with a smile. They walked in together and by the time they made it upstairs the group were back in the waiting room and William was sound asleep on his mother's shoulder.

'Well isn't that adorable?' JJ commented.

'That really is.'

Derek couldn't help but smile as they all watched Penelope pull the little boy's top down over his back and rub it intermittently. They smiled at how unconsciously attentive she was.

'I brought the buggy, want me to get it?'

'Ma I'll go... you've done enough already.' He took the keys from her and hurried out. No more than 5 minutes time he was back and unfolding the double buggy. Penelope slowly put the little boy down and then took the restless little girl from her grandmother; meanwhile Derek sorted out the little boy who was just stirring slightly.

'How do you do it?'

'Do what?' Penelope said in amongst bouncing and talking to Isabelle.

'Get them settled?'

'Pen's a pro that's why.' Derek replied, evoking a laugh from Penelope. 'A true natural.'

They sat around for another hour before Hotch came down the corridor. 'Oh finally! She wants Penelope and Derek down there now with those two.'

'Oh really?'

'Yes she threatened death by kisses again.'

Penelope laughed and stood still holding Isabelle. Derek stood and took William, who had not long woken up, from Rossi. They walked down the hallway and entered the room to find Emily rocking a small blue bundle in her arms.

'Aw honey, how does it feel?'

'It's one of the best things to ever happen.'

'He is a little cutie.'

'Who needs to meet his cousins.' Emily finished cheerfully. 'So bring them over here!'

Penelope and Derek complied and placed the twins either side of Emily, they couldn't help but smile as they were introduced to one another.

Penelope knelt down next to Isabelle as Emily looked at her. 'Now Isa, this little fella here is yours and Willa's responsibility, Auntie Em hopes you become close friends.' Isabelle gurgled her response. 'I take that as an agreement.' Emily said looking at Penelope who laughed slightly. Emily then repeated the process with William, evoking the same response.

Penelope stood up and straightened herself out. 'Now Em honey, get some rest. We've successfully thrown out these two's sleeping routine so they could meet the little one here but now we should get them home.'

'Okay, I promise I'll rest.'

'Good girl.' She picked up Isabelle and kissed Emily on the cheek. 'Now boss man, you need to get little Jackers here, I know how much his wanted a little brother.'

'I will don't worry. Thanks for coming.'

'We wouldn't miss it for the world.' She kissed his cheek and made her way to the door.

'See you later Hotch. You better watch out though man or he'll steal all the girl's attentions.'

'Like Will does you mean.'

'I have one to compete against, you have two.' He smiled. 'You need to win back your wife's heart before that little boy gets it all.' He joked before leaving the room.

Penelope woke up again for the eighth time during the night. This time she decided to give up on sleep and got out of bed leaving her husband to sleep peacefully. She walked quietly into the nursery and stood watching her children. Emily giving birth made her appreciate her children even more yet for some strange reason made her yearn for them as well.

After about another 30 minutes and a hundred yawns later she kissed each child, tucked them in a little more and sat in the large arm chair. Soon after she fell asleep peacefully like Derek.

When he woke he wanted to take his wife in his arms but found the bed to be empty. Confused he sat up; Penelope's side of the bed was a ruffled mess and stone cold. He got up and went to the one place he knew she would be and no surprise he found her there still sound asleep.

'Baby girl?' He said as he knelt in front of her and stroked her cheek gently. Slowly her eyes opened. 'Morning baby girl.'

'I'll show you a good morning.'

'Hmm.' He smirked. 'Maybe later eh?' She nodded and rubbed her eyes tiredly. 'What are you doing sleeping in here?'

'I couldn't sleep.'

'Want to talk about it.'

'I just wanted them near.'

'Overpowered by Darren being born?' She nodded. 'Made you want them more?' She nodded again. 'Made you appreciative what you've got?'

'How did you know?'

'Because that's everything I felt but watching you and Emily yesterday I believed life couldn't get better and I knew that in that exact moment I could have them whenever I want them and I can appreicative them for a life time.' He leant in and kissed her forehead. 'Now I think our little ones need food.'

'Come on then handsome.'
