As Morgan sat waiting with David a group of disgruntled agents burst through the hospital doors, causing a few patrons to stop and stare. The agents quickly and quietly made their way into the hospital to the waiting room lookimg for Rossi and Derek.
Spotting the two, Prentiss, Aaron, and JJ quickly made their way over to them. Quietly as not to draw any more attention to themselves.
Aaron spoke first upon reaching them, "Sorry it took us so long," He apologized.
He hoped no arguments would be sparked as this was not the place to start one, and he'd rather not have to argue with his team in public.
"Your apology isn't needed. I'm almost positive you're not even wanted here," Morgan spit out.
All the agents were taken aback for a second at the harsh tone taken with them. The team had been avoiding talks so there hadn't been any arguments as of lately.
They quickly recovered though ready to throw back an onslaught of viscous words.
"I think Penelope would want everyone here today," JJ hissed back just as fiercely. Stepping closer to Morgan as she got bolder.
Morgan looked down at her ready to attack her with his words. He wouldn't let her win this argument. She don't deserve to win this. Just like they didn't deserve to be here right now.
"Well I don't think-" Morgan stood up to say but was cut off by Rossi.
"I happen to KNOW Penelope wouldn't want us arguing like children right now," He
said.
The agents stopped arguing but they all held their stances. None ready to completely back down just yet. They just stared each other down for a few more seconds.
Morgan was the first to sit down the others filling in the seats soon after. Now it was just a matter of waiting.

3 Hours Later
Spencer slowly walked down the hospital hallways towards the rest of his family.
Upon reaching the others he paused at the sight of Aaron, Prentiss, and JJ. After the shock of seeing them wore down he continued walking.
The others noticed he looked disheveled and had tear tracks on his face. He clothes were rumpled and his hands were fidgeting.
Everyone immediately stood up.
There was silence
"IT'S A BOY!!" He screamed.
Derek and Rossi immediately engulfed him in a bone crushing hug pouring all their love through this hug.
"She wants to see you two," Spencer said.
The agents turned quickly in a rush to see the woman. Before they could go anywhere Spencer turned around to face the others.
He let out a breath before saying, "thanks for being here."
He made eye contact with each of them before turning to make his way back to his family.
Emily stood with tears in her eyes. She remember when Penelope was like her sister. It really hurt now.
Aaron stood and pulled her arm ushering her away, JJ not far behind. The group solemnly making their way out of the hospital

Penelope laid on the bed holding her little bundle of joy as the men quietly made their way into her room. She looked up upon their entrance and beamed a smile at them. The moment felt all too perfect to her.
They all just watched her interact with the baby for a few minutes in silence. It was amazing to see her so happy holding the baby.
Derek was the first to speak, "so what's this little guys name?" He asked.
Penelope looked at Spencer and smiles a 1000 watt smile. They had decided to keep the name a secret until the birth of the baby.
They knew it would be a real surprise. It'll really mean a lot.
"Guys I would like to introduce you to Alexander David Derek Reid." She said.
They both stared at her with blank expressions for a few seconds before they fully understood.
Penelope scoffed.
Such boys
The men looked at her with tears in their eyes after she spoke the little guys name. It was such an honor to have their child bestowed with their names. After all they have been through together they had never felt more like family than in this moment.
Spencer walked towards the bed and sat in the seat next to it.
"Would you like to hold him?" Spencer asked Derek.
Derek smiled, "Of course."
Derek gently picked up the new born baby and cradled his body in his arms. He bent over to look at his face and caught a whiff of the new baby smell.
"Aww he looks just like his dad. He's gonna be a heart breaker when he gets older... Just like uncle Morgan little guy." Morgan said with a laugh.
"Derek!" Penelope screamed.
Everyone in the room laughed. This is what true happiness felt like.
