"Hey guys!" Penelope said, walking in. The kitchen was buzzing. The team was there with their respective significant others. Rossi was finishing the pasta and opening the wine.
"What's the occasion, Rossi?" JJ said. "Not that I mind having dinner cooked for me…"
"I didn't want to be alone tonight", Rossi said.
"I can understand that one", Hotch said, kissing Tia on the cheek. "This last case was pretty gruesome."
"Even those of us who are great at compartmentalizing", Reid said hugging Heather close, "thought this one was bit out there."
"I don't even want to know then", Tia said. "Usually, I'm all about hearing about the bad guys. But if it was this bad, then I don't think I can stomach it."
They headed over to the table and sat down to eat. As Rossi filled the wine glasses, Garcia reached for hers with gusto.
"Stop!" Morgan and Reid yelled together. The whole table went silent.
"Is. There. A. problem? Garcia said in slow motion.
"Baby Girl", Morgan said. You're not supposed to drink."
"Why not?" she said reaching for the glass.
"No!" Reid and Morgan yelled again.
"OK, what's going on?" Garcia said. "Why can't I have wine? I know I get a little giggly, but really guys…"
"You could do damage, Penelope", Reid said, moving the glass out of her way.
"To what?" Garcia said.
"Rather to whom", Reid said. "You know, the, um…"
"OK, this is weird", Garcia said. "One of you explain yourselves, now."
"Baby Girl, I was waiting on you to tell me but", Morgan exhaled. "I know you're pregnant! We're going to have a baby!"
"Say what?!" Garcia said. "I am not pregnant! Who told you that?"
"I heard you in your office", Morgan said, in confusion. "You screamed, 'Yes! Pregnant!'."
"Oh", Garcia said. "You heard that. Well, um, that wasn't for me."
"Wait. It wasn't?" Morgan said.
"Don't worry, Hot Stuff, we'll be in the game soon. They way we practice", Garcia said, snuggling up to him.
"Get a room!" JJ said, laughing.
"Wait, then who's pregnant?" Reid asked her.
"Um, I'm not at liberty to say", Garcia said.
"But I am", Heather said quietly.
"Heather?" Reid said softly. "Sweetheart?"
A small tear ran down her cheek. "I hadn't had a chance to see you yet. Penelope had guessed it a couple of days ago, and I confirmed it today. Are you happy?"
Reid said in his chair silently.
"Pretty Boy?" Morgan said, coming over to him. "I think he's in shock."
Rossi shook him slightly. "Son, are you OK?"
Reid blinked slightly and a goofy grin appeared across his face.
"We're pregnant?" he said, facing Heather. "Well technically you are, but I'm going to be a father?" Reid leaned in and kissed Heather deeply before she could even answer.
"Oh now this is fun", Rossi said. "The both of you pregnant at the same time?" he said, motioning between Tia and Heather.
"Tia will probably deliver first, though", Hotch said.
"How far along are you?" Reid asked.
"Almost three months. If Penelope wouldn't have mentioned anything, I wouldn't have even guessed", Heather said.
"Let me just move this", Rossi said, grabbing Heather's wine glass and laughing. "Well this has really turned this day around."
"I agree", Hotch said. He lifted his glass. "To Heather and Spencer. Congratulations guys!"
The teams raised their glasses in chorus.
"Now", Garcia said, laughing. "Can I drink my wine now?"
