Thanksgiving With The Morgan's-Ch 39
Over the next several days it had continued to snow which made traveling impossible, the airports were all closed because of so much snow so Derek, Penelope and the rest of the team decided to make the best of their time off and spent several afternoons playing in the snow with the kids and everybody had a blast.
It seemed that almost as soon as their fun started it had ended and it was time for them to get back to the real world and the world of unsubs back home. Penelope had got to celebrate her first Christmas and New Years Eve as Mrs. Derek Morgan while they stayed in Chicago but sadly now it had come time for them to head back to Virginia and they had no more than got back home and got a nights sleep before they were called away on another case.
This time they were gone for almost 2 weeks making it the third week in January and Penelope was finding it hard because she was missing her husband. Derek didn't have it any easier because he was missing his baby girl but they both knew that work would keep them apart some times but that just made it all that much more sweet when they got back home and could be together.
Penelope sighed as she rubbed her temples, she was exhausted, she had been up almost 48 hours helping her team of crimefighters with their newest case. The unsub had thankfully been caught and their paperwork was done and now the team was on the jet and heading for home, or at least that's what they had hoped for anyway.
They were getting ready to start down the runway when Hotch was notified about another case and after calling Penelope to inform her of the new case the team was headed for Oklahoma. Penelope started her deep dives hoping to find information that would help her team but sadly nothing she was finding was of any help to her team.
Derek and the others had now been away for over two weeks making this the second week of February and only 1 day shy of Valentines Day. Penelope bit down on her bottom lip and said, "come on Garcie, think, think, you can do it, think of something that would help your husband and friends so they can come back home to you".
She was pulled from her thoughts when a wave of nausea rolled over her and before she could get up she was grabbing for her trash can so she could empty the contents of her stomach inside it. She then wiped her mouth and swished some water around and spit it out into her garbage can, she the grabbed the liner out of her trash can and headed down the hall.
She had to get rid of that smell before she threw up again, she then grabbed a new liner and stopped by the break room to grab a tea to see if that would help with her nausea. While she was standing there waiting on the water to get hot she saw some saltines and grabbed one and started nibbling on it hoping it too would help ease the nausea.
Penelope was now heading toward her office with tea and crackers in her hands and as she walked through her door her cell was ringing, she put her tea and crackers down and grabbed her phone. She saw, 'FRAN" flashing on the ID and answered it on the third ring and said, "hey Fran, how are you doing"?, Fran said, "doing okay honey, how are you feeling"?, Penelope said, "I'm exhausted Fran, I've been up a long time now and my head is hurting and I'm nauseated",
Fran said, "could be stress related orrrrrrrrr" and Penelope said, "orrrrrr what"?, Fran said, "sweetie when was your last period"?, Penelope said, "well I've been irregular for the past few months whyyyy" and then it hit her, Fran was talking about her being pregnant and her hand automatically slid down to her stomach.
Fran had called her name several times and finally Penelope said, "uhhh yeah, pregnancy is definitely possible", she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "so what should I do"?, Fran said, "go get a pregnancy test and take it Penelope and then go from there", Penelope said, "okay, I'll do that" and after she finished talking to Fran she grabbed her purse and phone and headed out of the office.
Their was a pharmacy right up the street from her so she went there and grabbed several tests and headed back to the BAU to find out one way or the other if she was pregnant or not. A few minutes later she was sitting in the privacy of her office waiting to read the results of the tests, she sighed and bit down on her lip as memories of her time with Derek and she couldn't help but smile.
Her computer started pinging letting her know that her search was over, she looked up and smiled as a picture of their unsub flashed on her screen. She hit number 2 on her office phone and after two rings Derek said, "please tell me something good sweetness"?, her eyes glanced from the computer screen to the pregnancy tests in front of her.
Her mouth flew open and instead of telling Derek what she had found out she said, "I'm pregnant", Derek said, "what, you're what"?, Penelope said, "I'm pregnant around 6 to 7 weeks". Derek said, "that's wonderful baby girl" and the air was filled with the shouts of congratulations and finally after getting no response from his wife he said, "baby, are you alright, speak to me baby girl".
Penelope said, "huh, oh sorry, yeah I think I found your unsub" and then she continued to tell them what she had found out and then sent them his picture and last known address. Before he ended the call Derek said, "I love you baby girl and I can't wait to get home and celebrate the news of our baby" causing her to smile and say, "me neither handsome, me neither".
After the call ended she quickly dialed Frans number and after a few rings Fran said, "well what did the tests say"?, Penelope smiled and said, "congratulations grandma I'm pregnant". Penelope laughed as Fran started squealing and telling Sarah and Desi the good news that they were about to be aunts and her a grandma".
