Chapter 25

…...

'Derek Morgan! You're a dead man! You just – oooowwww! You just wait until the next time you even think about batting those big brown eyes at me and doing that thing with your tongue on my neck! Oh, fuckkk!'

Her hand was clenched tight around his as the contraction hit, while he grinned at the amused midwife. 'She's jokin', right, baby? Can't get enough of me.' He winked as Penelope glared up at him.

'I wouldn't fricken count on it, hot stuff. Never mind sharing a bed, we're not even gonna be in the same room alone!'

He chuckled in amusement and then winced when she gripped his hand tightly again. 'Ohhh, Goddd, Derek, I can't do this! Please, knock me out and cut me open! I don't carreee! Oucchhhhh!'

His eyes grew serious as he cupped her cheek and locked his eyes with hers. 'Baby girl, look at me. Listen, you can do this, I promise you can. You're doin' so well, and you're nearly there. Lacey here says you're 9cms dilated, right? That means it won't be long before you're pushing. I'm right here, honey, ok? I'm right here. We can do it together, just a little longer for me sweetheart.'

Her eyes were gentle and she had a soft smile on her face, obviously calmer, even as she scoffed at him. 'Together, handsome? I don't think I like this division of labour. You get all of the pleasure and I get all of the pain?'

He chuckled again and leaned close to her ear, nudging her hair out of the way with his nose as his voice lowered to a sensual whisper. 'Pain, princess? I don't recall you being in pain when I got you pregnant. Unless I misunderstood all that screaming.'

She huffed at him. 'Are you serious, stud? I'm in the middle of the most excruciatingly painful thing I've ever done just to give you the most beautiful children in the whole world, and you're heating up like molten chocolate over there.'

He grinned widely at her. 'I'm distracting you, is it working?'

'Can you believe this fool?'

The midwife shook her head at their antics and gave Penelope one last check, before declaring it time to start pushing. She called for another midwife to assist her as Derek braced himself, kissed her cheek and offered her his hand again. 'Ok, doll, it's time, you ready?'

She gripped his hand and smiled weakly at him, giving him a definitive nod. 'I'm ready.'

'Ok, Penelope, deep breaths, great, now bare down into your bottom and push.'

PG did as she was told, her head dropping down onto her chest as her teeth clenched and she pushed with all of her might.

'Good girl, Penelope, that's great, the little one's moving fast, I think he or she is gonna be out with the next couple of good pushes. Is that another contraction? Ok, push, Penelope, bare right down.'

Before either of them knew it, a squirming baby was placed on Pens chest, just for a moment as he let out a loud cry. His skin was a beautiful cappuccino colour, the perfect blend of the two of them, his head covered in a mop of almost black hair, he had perfect pouty lips, his tongue sticking out adorably as his cries ceased and he snuggled against his mothers chest.

Cooing over their beautiful son, they were both surprised by the speed with which her contractions started again. She thrust the baby into the waiting arms of the midwife, as she gripped Derek's hand and prepared to do it all over again.

'Ohh, oowwww!' She grunted and pushed down with everything she had in her, taking deep heaving gulps of air before doing it all over again. She wasn't sure how long she pushed for, only that it hurt. She was vaguely aware of Derek pushing her hair out of her face, and Lacey telling her to keep pushing. All she knew was that her body wanted the baby out, and eventually, with one last, long push, another cry permitted the room and she watched as the midwife lifted another gorgeous baby up onto her chest, a beautiful little girl.

The midwife gave the baby boy to Derek, who paid rapt attention to his son, watching as his nose wrinkled up and his eyes drifted shut contentedly. He cuddled him close, leaning over and planting a loving kiss on his girls head, before peeking over her shoulder to observe the almost identical, adorable little girl lying on her mothers naked chest.

'We did it, baby girl. Just look at them, they're perfect.'

She looked up at him adoringly, raising her free hand to gently caress his jaw. 'We did, hot stuff. They're beautiful, just like their papa.'

He chuckled and turned his head to kiss her palm. 'And their stunning mama, guess we're even, gorgeous.'

He leaned down and kissed her smiling lips, grinning at her when he pulled away. 'So, they're finally here. We need to stop arguing and decide on their names. Whatcha thinkin', sweetheart?'

…...

An hour later, the entire team had piled into the small room, laughing and cooing over the beautiful babies. Usually, visiting would be restricted to 2 at a time, but the flashing of their badges, and the slight crush Lacey had on Reid had quickly gained them all access.

JJ had quickly taken full possession of their daughter, and had apparently decided she wasn't giving her up. She and Henry were cooing over the baby as Hotch got his turn to hold the baby boy.

Blake grinned as she observed the family around her, laughing together, jokes bouncing freely back and forward, Derek sprawled across the bed in a way that would probably make the midwife have a fit, his new wife cuddled close in his arms as they joined in the fun, both of them radiant in their happiness.

Rossi approached Hotch and pulled the blanket back little, kissing his head, god father style. 'So, come on kids, enquiring minds wanna know. What are you gonna call them?'

Penelope eyed her man, before focusing on the intrigued team and chuckling. 'Why don't you guess?'

JJ chuckled. 'I'll take a guess, Tulip Twinkle?'

They all laughed as Penelope gasped in mock outrage. 'Jayjers, I'm a little eccentric, I'm not cruel.'

Little Jack pouted up at her as only a 7 year old could. 'Come on Auntie P, I wanna know.'

She smiled gently at the precious little boy. 'Ladies and gentleman, welcome to the world, Matilda Jennifer, and Zachary Spencer.'

JJ gasped, her smile wide as they watched Reid cough to disguise the lump in his throat and wiped a sly tear from his eye.

Rossi winked at Penelope as he clapped his hands together. 'Right, well, I think it's about time we went and wet the babes heads. Who's in? Drinks on me.'

Reluctantly, the babies were given back to their parents as one by one the team left the room. Rossi was the last to go, cheekily poking his head back through the door. 'You not coming, Morgan? Good job, kitten. He's well and truly under the thumb and you've only been married for 16 hours.'

Penelope giggled and her new husband shot a glare over to the older agent. 'Hey man, don't mess with me. I'm right where I wanna be, I've got my woman, I've got my gorgeous babies, what more could a guy ask for?'

Dave grinned and threw them a wave on the way out, cherishing the sight of the four of them cuddled together on the small bed.

…...

'Ah, alone at last baby girl.'

She wrinkled her nose at him and giggled. 'Oh, hot stuff, I love you so freaking much. I just-I love them so freaking much.'

'Me too, princess. You, you're a Goddess, I swear you are. Look at this, baby, I've got you, I've got our beautiful babies, you've given me everything. Our own little family. I promise you I'm gonna cherish you forever.'

'And I you, my love.'
