A/N: I'm sensing we all might need something happy/non-drama filled to think about tonight so hope this helps. Not sure what we're in for but I already know I'm not looking forward to figuring out how to work with season 11. I predict a lot of AU changes when I get there at this rate... Anywho, on with some warm fuzzies to settle everyone after tonight.

JJ stared down at the small bundle in her arms. That immediate wave of love and need to protect that hit her when she held Henry for the first time washed over her again. Her daughter blinked and stared up back up at her mom.

"She has your eyes, Spence," JJ whispered. He was sitting on the bed with her, also mesmerized with their newest addition.

"Eye color isn't usually set until six months after birth," he countered, running one of his fingers over Ella's little hand. She immediately reached out and gripped it. JJ smiled at his comment, but was too tired to argue with Mr. Science right now. She yawned, something he caught. "Why don't you try to get some rest, JJ. She looks like she's about to fall asleep too." As if she understood, Ella's eyes started to droop closed.

JJ nodded and bent down to kiss the top of Ella's head. "Love you little girl," she murmured before she handed the baby to her father.

Reid took her into his arms, thankful for his experience with infant Henry so that he was far more comfortable holding her. Once she was secure, he turned and kissed JJ briefly. "I love you, Jen. Thank you for this amazing gift." JJ smiled at him, tears forming. "Now get some sleep."

"Love you too, Spence." She turned in her hospital bed and was soon out, exhausted.

Reid shifted off the bed and into the chair next to it. He looked down at the small bundle in his arms. She blinked slowly, her eyes staying closed this time. "Sleep well, Elizabeth Rose Reid. I'll be here when you wake up, I promise. I may not always be there when you wake up in the future, but I swear I'll always come back. Nothing could keep me from coming back to you, your mom or your big brother. Nothing."

He could tell she was asleep and debated. As much as he wanted to keep holding her, he could feel his own weariness kicking in. He stood and walked over to the hospital provided bassinet. He kissed her just like his wife. "I love you so much, Elizabeth Rose. Sleep well." He set her down, watching her again for a moment before he remembered an important thing he needed to do before getting sleep.

He grabbed JJ's tablet, having remembered how to take a photo with it from a lesson from Garcia. He snapped a quick, cute one of the sleeping girl and emailed it off from JJ's personal account. Then he made a necessary call. "Hi Mo, its Spencer Reid. How is my mom doing today? I have something important to tell her. I sent you a photo to share." He kept his voice down as to not disturb his girls. He grinned at that thought – his girls.

"Hi Spencer! Diana is doing well. Let me pull up the photo and get her," the nurse greeted. "Oh my goodness, she's gorgeous Spencer."

Reid smiled. "Thank you."

A second later he heard his mom's voice. "Spencer?"

"Hi grandma," he greeted. He could hear Maureen in the background showing her the photo.

"Oh, honey, she's breathtaking! How's Jennifer?"

"She is remarkable, mom. She's resting right now; both of them are. I'm going to get some rest too for a bit, but I wanted to share the news with you first." Reid glanced behind him, making sure they were both still sleeping.

"Rest is important, particularly in the beginning, Spencer. So you should go, my dear, but thank you for sending the photo and letting me know little Elizabeth is finally here." She paused. "I'm proud of you."

Reid smiled, touched by his mother's words. It was moments like this that he could forget about her disease for a little while. "Thanks mom. We'll be sure to send along more photos soon and plan a trip in a few months to see you." And possibly his father, depending on the progress they made in the mean time. At least they were still talking, finding a few things in common that Reid hadn't expected. The gifts a few months ago had been a nice gesture, helping their progress.

"That would be wonderful, Spencer."

"Love you mom."

Sandy gently tapped on the hospital door as she pushed it open, peering around the corner. She noticed the couple was awake, her new granddaughter in her son-in-law's arms. She was grateful that she had gotten a moment with Ella the day before, being the only visitor so far. "Hey, you guys okay for some company? I don't think I can contain Penelope much longer."

JJ smiled, "Sure. It's good timing actually, I just finished nursing and she's awake."

Sandy smiled and nodded, opening the door further. This allowed for the team to follow her into the room, Garcia with a big bundle of balloons.

Reid tore his gaze off of the little one and smiled at the group. "Everyone, I'd like you'd to meet Elizabeth Rose Reid." He locked eyes with Morgan first. "Want to hold your goddaughter, Derek?"

The agent sent him a wide smile. "Of course, gotta start to bond with my god baby girl." The group smiled at the name as Reid gently shifted the baby into his friend's arms. Garcia again offered him directions even though he didn't need them. Morgan was immediately smitten, holding the little girl's gaze. "Hey there, Princess, I'm your Uncle Derek. We're going to have so much fun as you get older. Believe me, I have two sisters, I know what things are fun for little angels like yourself."

"Oh, I need a photo of this," Garcia gushed, pulling out her phone and snapped a few. "I knew Mr. Tough Guy was really just delicious chocolate and muscle coating with a marshmallow center."

Rossi and Blake chuckled softly at that; Hotch smirked. The team leader turned to the couple. Surprising them, he hugged Reid for a moment before bending down to kiss JJ on the cheek. "Congratulations, you two."

"Thanks Aaron," JJ replied with a smile.

Hotch turned back to Reid. "The house is all set, everything is all moved. Maeve and Bobby stocked your fridge with Garcia's help. I returned the truck for you and we made sure to set up a few things for you as well."

"Thank you, Hotch," Reid nodded. "Thank all of you." Sandy smiled, amused that Hotch left out just how much they had set up. It was part of the reason the team didn't visit yesterday.

"It was nothing, Sugar," Garcia replied. "Now, Chocolate Thunder, hand over that angel and no one will get hurt." The group chuckled as Morgan passed the baby over to her aunt. "That's better. Hi there Ella, I'm your Auntie Penelope and since your godmomma lives in another country, I'm going to be sure to spoil you rotten just like your big brother."

JJ shook her head and then smiled at Reid, who was trying to not show his anxiety of Ella being passed around. "Speaking of which," she got his attention. "We need to set up a video chat with Henry." They had been too tired yesterday to attempt that, not wanting him to think something was wrong with their weariness showing through.

Reid nodded but Garcia beat him to it. "I can do that in a jiff!" One handed, she quickly got JJ's tablet set up on her side/dining table after Rossi helped her position it across the bed near the foot of it. Reid and JJ positioned themselves on the bed as they called up Will.

"Hey JJ, Spencer," Will greeted with a smile. He noted their backdrop and JJ's attire. "Oh, I see someone came early like her brother, huh?"

JJ smiled. She was beyond grateful that they had such an amicable split that they could talk about these things. "She did. Is Henry around so he can see her?"

Will nodded. "Sure thing, just give me a sec." They could see him set up his tablet on their coffee table and then stand to fetch the boy, disappearing from the screen for a second. "Henry, your momma and Spencer want to talk to you!" They could hear feet running and then a laugh from the man. "Did you roll in the chalk while you were drawing, bud? You're all blue and green you silly boy."

The group in Virginia chuckled as the LaMontagne boys appeared on the screen, Will trying to rub off some of the chalk on his face. "Mommy! Spence!"

JJ grinned. "Hey there little man! Are you having fun?" Henry nodded. "Good. Are you excited to come back here soon? Your new room will be all ready for you when you arrive."

"With Lightening McQueen and Mader?"

Reid nodded. "That's right bud."

"Cool!" The boy seemed to realize something was different about his mom. "Where Ella?"

JJ smiled and looked up at Garcia, who passed her the baby. "She's right here, Henry. She was ready to stop growing in my womb and be with us out here now." Garcia shifted the table a little closer to the family now so Henry could get a good look.

The boy stared intently at the screen for a minute. The adults waited him out. "Hi Ella," he whispered, his eyes big. "You are tiny."

Reid smiled. "Yeah, she is. Remember, she won't be able to play with you right away when you get here. She's going to want to mostly sleep and eat for while. But she will start to learn voices and will want to hear yours all the time so you can talk to her when she's awake, you just can't play with trucks and things yet."

Henry nodded, his eyes still trained on his sister. "She pretty."

Jackie, who had now joined them on the couch, agreed. "She's beautiful, you two. Congratulations."

"Agreed," Will offered. He looked at Henry. "You excited to see her in person soon, Henry?" The boy nodded, but remained quiet.

"She can't wait," JJ added. "We can't wait to see you, my sweet boy." Henry's gaze shifted to his mom for a moment and JJ remembered Reid's comment from the shower. "Things will be different when you come home, Henry, but always remember that Spence and I love you just as much as we always have and nothing will ever change that, okay?"

"Okay mommy," Henry replied. He smiled after a second, seeming to except that. "I play with Jackie and chalk today. I draw cars on the sidewalk!" The group smiled, as he seemed to switch back to his normal self.

"I'll take your bag to the laundry room," Sandy offered as the tired but excited family entered their new house later that day.

"Thanks mom," JJ replied as she watched Reid ever so carefully carry in the car seat into the house. After she saw Ella was safely in the house, only then did she look at her surroundings. "Oh my god."

Reid had just set the car seat on the floor and had been bending down to scoop up the sleeping infant when he heard his wife's comment. He looked up then too and noticed that their house was basically unpacked and arranged. Their living room and dining room area were set up, including all the electronics, undoubtedly done by Garcia. The only boxes they seemed to notice were ones that contained things like movies, personal items or décor. Sandy came back into the room and scooped up her granddaughter. "Go, check it out," she encouraged the adults.

They finally moved and walked though the great room. JJ opened up cupboards to find their kitchen mostly unpacked, a few boxes near the island. Reid opened the fridge and freezer, seeing the food Hotch had mentioned along with several freezer meals Garcia had prepared them. He squinted at the handwriting on some of them and realized Blake had done some of the meals too. That made him smile. They walked around to what was now the library area since the built-in shelves were added. Reid sighed happily when he noticed his boxes of books still piled up. But, his favorite chair and office desk were set up in the room. He walked over to the boxes and picked up the note he saw.

'Don't worry, I didn't let Morgan unpack the books.' He smiled at Maeve's handwriting.

JJ smiled as well and then spoke, getting his attention. "Should we go check upstairs?" Reid nodded and the couple headed up to the bedrooms, taking them slow for JJ's sake. They reached Henry's room, which was completely finished.

"He's going to love it," Reid commented and JJ nodded. They walked by the bathroom, noticing it had a cute fish shower curtain and other accessories added to it; things they hadn't bought previously. They then walked into Ella's room.

JJ sighed, leaning into Reid. "It's perfect." They had gone with a soft yellow color with a flower/garden mural to capture her attention. The crib was made up; the rocking chair JJ had saved from when she first had Henry was in the corner. Even the changing table was ready to go and all of her clothes were put away.

Reid smiled at JJ's comment and nodded. "Agreed." They pulled away from that room to enter theirs. It wasn't quite as put together, but close. The most important parts were – their bed and the bassinet on JJ's side of the bed. Their furniture was arranged for them as were some of the necessities for the bathroom. It was enough to get them started. The boxes of clothing were in the walk in closet.

JJ found the note this time. 'Figured you'd want to decide how to divide up the closet.'

JJ shook her head in awe and turned to Reid. He wrapped his arms around her and kissed her. When they parted, he rested their foreheads together. "Welcome home."

Sandy found them just holding each other in their new home a moment later, the cry of the infant quickly pulling them apart. "I think someone is hungry," Sandy offered. She came carrying the pillow JJ was using while nursing as well.

JJ smiled and took her daughter and the pillow. "Thanks mom. For everything. I can't believe you guys did all of this for us." She climbed onto their bed, sitting up against the headboard as she adjusted her top and brought Ella to her breast.

"Well we couldn't have you bring that little one home to a house of boxes, could we?" Sandy winked. She noticed how Reid was fascinated by his wife and daughter and smiled. "I think I'm going to let you three get settled in. Call me if you need a break, I'll be finishing up my own unpacking."

JJ nodded and looked up from watching Ella to see her husband's gaze. She blushed some, not sure why he couldn't take his eyes off of her. "Sounds good." Sandy smiled and patted Reid on the arm as she left, gently pulling their bedroom door shut behind her. "What?" JJ asked, catching Reid's eyes.

He just smiled and climbed onto the bed with her. "The human body is just a remarkable thing. Yours not only sheltered our daughter as she grew, but now it's producing her nourishment. I find it fascinating, is all."

JJ shook her head and smiled. "I find you," she kissed his cheek and then turned back to Ella, knowing she was close to having to switch sides. "Both of you, fascinating."
