Hours ...

Minutes ...

Seconds ...

Nothing that Luke had previously dreamed of about this moment turned out to be little close to the agony he felt. A nurse, knowing what Penelope meant, made him wear special clothes.

It was the doctor who said that no father should miss this moment. He thanked her so quietly and went to her now sedated wife. He knew she would not be able to give birth naturally, but that was too agonizing.

- Prepare to be born the first girl. The doctor said. "Are you ready to be a father?"

- I have always been. Luke answered and let the tears escape. "I just wanted her to be awake.

- I know. - The doctor was supportive. - Believe Agent Alvez. She'll be able to have more babies. And she'll be up for it.

- Doctor. The wizard called. "We're ready for the first princess."

- Right. The doctor smiled. - Here we go.

He pulled something from inside Penelope. A child was still connected to the umbilical cord.

- Congratulations, Agent Alvez. The doctor looked at him. "You have a little princess."

He handed the little girl to Luke, wrapped in a blanket. She was absolutely wonderful. Looking at Pen, Luke wished his wife had not taken that shot.

They were seeing names in the last week. Names that they both liked. Penelope suggested Ziva to one of the little girls. Luke started to love his wife more. She was spectacularly wonderful at everything.

Then he passed the little girl to the nurse. He kissed the forehead of his wife and whispered words of passion.

The second baby would be a bit complicated, but everything would work out.

Meanwhile...

- Very well. The doctor stopped in front of an anxious Spencer. "Shall we bring your child into the world?"

- Please. Spencer smiled. - I am anxious.

"I heard you brought a baby into the world." The doctor smiled at Spencer. "Did not you want the honor?"

"I really preferred to watch it this time. Spencer joked. "I think Abby would be happier."

"Time for strength, ma'am. The doctor told Abby. Time to bring your baby into the world.

Reid took her hand. Abby started to push.

"More strength, my love. Reid encouraged her. - More strength.

- Arghh! Abby moaned, forcing herself. - Oh, my God.

"One more, miss!" The doctor encouraged her. - Another!

- Ohhhh! Abby felt her body rip. - Oh my God!

A baby cry was heard in the room and Spencer began to cry. The baby was finally here.

"Would you like to have the honor?" - The doctor passed a pair of scissors. "Would you like to cut his cord?"

Reid took the doctor's scissors and, following her instructions, cut the cord. Abby smiled and took her son in her arms as soon as he was wrapped in a hospital blanket.

- He is so beautiful. Spencer smiled at the boy in his arms. "So much like you."

"But he has his eyes." Abby kissed him. - A perfect blend of ours.

"We need to give him a name." Reid said. "We can not call him a baby."

"What did you like?" Abby looked at him. - Then?

- What about Andrew? Reid saw her smile. - Liked?

- It's perfect. Abby kissed him. "Go tell your team that we finally got our baby."

Reid left the delivery room. Now he was not just a genius kid. Now he had his own son, just as the team had.

Walking down the hallway, he felt something tense. He remembered that Penelope was brought to the emergency cesarean and had no idea what to do.

- Spence? JJ ran to him. - Then?

- He was born. Reid said. "His name is Andrew, and he's sensational."

- We got happy. JJ hugged him. "You have a son now.

"How is Penelope?" He felt the air change again. - What?

"One of the girls was born, but-" JJ needed air. "Penelope is not well.

They looked down the hall. Waiting for good news.

- We got the bleeding to stop. The nurse said. - But her B.P is falling. "We'll have to close the wound now."

"Let's get the girl and do it. The gynecologist replied. - Shit.

As soon as they took the girl, Penelope's pressure dropped too much and she began coding.

- Take the shovels. He shouted, mingling with the baby's cry. - Come on, Penelope. You did not get here to die, did you?

After what seemed like hours, but it was only two o'clock, Luke finally left. The little girls were born two minutes in advance each, were healthy, at least on the first exam.

Sitting in the chair, beside a worried Rossi and an Emily with unshed tears, Luke sighed.

- The girls were born. He said, almost robotic. - Pen is recovering in the intensive unit.

They let out the sigh that was stuck. They managed to get her back on the fourth try.

- Can we see the little ones? JJ had hopes. - Please.

- Clear. Luke helped JJ get to the maternity ward. "They're there."

Luke pointed to the two girls, sleeping angelically in their beds. The pink overalls that Rossi brought when he went home.

"They're beautiful, Luke. JJ sighed. "I suppose they still do not have a name."

"I want to wait for Pen, but at the moment, they call themselves Ziva and Antoniella. Luke replied. "It was the two names Pen and I wanted and discussed.

- Can I see her? JJ asked. "I just want to know if she's still okay."

- Hey, JJ! Spencer came quickly to her side. "That baby is Andrew.

"He's so handsome, Spence. JJ leaned against the glass. "He's a perfect mix of you and Abby.

"I'm going to see Penelope." Reid pulled a small box out of his pocket. And give it to her.

Opening the small box, he showed the angel necklace he bought for Penelope a few years ago. He never had the guts to give her, but it was the perfect opportunity.

Entering the room, Luke headed straight for his wife. She had been strong and brave.

Reid stepped closer and opened the box, removing the necklace from it. He knew he could not move her yet, so he slipped the necklace into her hand.

- I saw the little girls, Pen. Reid kissed her forehead. "They're beautiful like you."

- Spence. JJ did not want to cut the weather. "Two weeks from now, it's been a year.

"She was so strong. Reid sat down with his friend. "Abby's coming in a few hours."

- I'll stay here with her. Luke took Penelope's hand. - I'll let you know when she wakes up.

Emily, Rossi, Tara, Hotch, and Matt were watching the new babies.

"Do you think they chose to be born together?" Matt smiled at the coincidence. "Right after Prentiss comment?"

- Power of suggestion. Reid and JJ said together.

- For sure. Hotch smiled. "Now our family is complete.

They smiled. Everything was finally going to a good end.
