Recap

"Are either of you Derek Morgan?" asked a petite, olive skinned woman with long black hair.

"That's me," Derek said as the smile left his face and turned back into a worried grimace.

The woman nodded before introducing herself. "I'm Dr. Angela Bell," she said as she extended her hand to shake Derek's, then Reid's. "You're all here for Penelope Garcia?" she asked as she cast her gaze behind them, gesturing where JJ, Hotch, and Rossi were sitting in the waiting area.

"Yes. Dr. Bell, is she alright? Can I see her?" Derek asked, trying to remain calm, but he was anxious to see his Baby Girl and make sure she was alright.

"That's why I came to get you, Mr. Morgan," Dr. Bell started. "She's awake and she's asking for you. If you will follow me, I'll take you to her."

"We'll be right here," said Reid as he looked at Derek.

Derek nodded and began to follow Dr. Bell to Penelope's room.

Derek followed Dr. Bell closely as she led him down the hospital hallway. He was anxious to lay on eyes on Penelope and see for himself that she was truly okay. Derek was about to get his wish when Dr. Bell and he stopped at a patient room door.

Dr. Bell paused before letting him go inside. "I just wanted to let you know that we will be bringing an ultrasound machine in so we can check on your baby and – "

"It's not my baby," Derek interrupted. "I'm not the father," he added quietly.

"Oh, I see," said Dr. Bell. "My apology. I thought since you were the first person that Ms. Garcia asked for, I assumed you the father."

"No, doc. We're just…," Derek paused as searched for the right words. "We're best friends," he said with a slight smile.

"Well, I think your best friend is waiting to see you," Dr. Bell smiled back, as she motioned for Derek to enter Penelope's room. "I will be back soon to perform the ultrasound."

Derek nodded as the older woman walked away. He wasted no time in opening the door to see his Baby Girl.

Hearing the room door open, Penelope whipped her head in that direction to see who was entering the room. "Derek," she gasped with happiness and relief and extended her arms towards him. Derek was there in a flash, sitting on her hospital bed and wrapping her in his arms.

"I'm so glad you're here," Penelope said as she as she hugged tight around Derek's waist and tried not to tear up, again.

"Yes, I'm here. I'm here, Baby Girl," said Derek as kissed her forehead and close his eyes for a moment before he pulled back slightly to look at her at her face. "What all have they done to you?" Derek asked as he finally looked around and noticed that she was wearing a hospital gown and hooked up to an IV.

Penelope sighed, heavily. "Oh, just the normal poking and prodding. They drew blood to run some kind of test. You know how hard my veins are to find," she said as she held out her left arm. "Look, Handsome. I'm already bruising," Penelope said with a pout.

Derek gently held her left arm up to examine it. He saw the makings of a little dark blue bruise in the crook of her arm. "Poor Baby," he whispered as he bent his head to tenderly kiss the spot.

That little action should not have surprised Penelope, but it did and she could not ignore the pleasure of having his hot lips against her skin, or barely contain the moan of pleasure that escaped from her mouth. "Mmm…" she moaned, closing her eyes.

"What, Baby Girl?" Derek asked, as he brought his head back up level with hers.

"Hmm?" Penelope replied, still in a pleasurable daze. But she quickly realized that Derek had asked her a question. "Oh! I—I said mmmild dehydration. That's why I'm hooked up to an IV." She said as she released Derek fully, where they sat facing each other.

"And Jellybean?" Derek asked quietly as slowly reached out and placed a hand on Penelope's stomach. He wasn't sure what her reaction would be and almost regretted it, until he felt her hand rest on top of his.

"Well, I think they are okay" Penelope said smiling and rubbed her thumb against Derek's hand. "Dr. Bell thinks so, too. But she wants to run an ultrasound to be sure. Especially since I just found out I'm pregnant."

"That's good," said Derek. Hearing that Penelope felt good about things made him feel more at ease. "Ready for Jellybean to make her screen debut?" he teased as he looked at her belly and rubbed it slightly.

Penelope giggled; a sound that Derek loved to hear and he hoped her child had that exact way of laughing. "Well it's not the silver screen, but the screen is black and white. And you know I love my black and white movies, Handsome," she said smirking.

Derek was about to add to their banter when he heard the door open. He got up off of Penelope's bed and turned around to see Dr. Bell entering with another nurse who was pushing in the ultrasound machine. Once it was in place, Dr. Bell dismissed the nurse and turned her attention to Derek and Penelope.

"Alright, Penelope. We're just going to do an ultrasound to see how far along you are. So if you will just raise the gown to expose your stomach we can begin," Dr. Bell said as she went back to push buttons on the machine.

Penelope reached under the blanket to pull up the bottom of her gown. She was trying to discreetly do so without exposing her underwear to Derek. Not like he hasn't seen it all before she thought. But I doubt he has ever seen a woman wear panties with owls on them! she berated to herself a she quickly snatched the fabric of her gown out from the blanket, trying to keep her hips covered.

Derek was trying to be a good friend and look away to give Penelope privacy to prepare herself for the ultrasound, but her couldn't help notice her hasty movements as she yanked the bottom of her gown out of blankets in an attempt to remain covered. But what Penelope failed to notice was that her actions left a little bit of skin exposed down around one of her hips, leaving him with a little glimpse of what kind of underwear his Baby Girl was sporting today. Are those… owls? he thought, as he tried to glance from the corner of his eye. But he needed a better look, so Derek turned his head a more so he was able to look down fully and see if his suspicions were right. Sure enough, he saw the top of her panties on one of her hips, with little pink and purple owls sprinkled on them. Derek chuckled internally, Only my Baby Girl. Of course this lead Derek to thinking about how it would be to see her round derriere sporting those owl panties and not much else…

"Hoo…" Derek said a loud in low voice, almost a groan, without realizing.

"What, Sugar?" Penelope asked him she adjusted the blankets to wear she was now fully covered.

"Hmm?" Derek replied before he realized what he had said out loud. "Oh! Nothing, Sweetness," he answered smiling and trying to cover the fact that he had just had a naughty thought about his best friend with her doctor in the same room! Penelope eyed him in disbelief and was about to retort when Dr. Bell spoke.

"Ready to see your baby Penelope?"

Penelope shook her head eagerly. "Oh yes, Dr. Bell," she said with a bright smile and then turned to Derek. "Drag up a chair, Hot Stuff."

Derek turned and pulled up one of the visitor chairs as close as he could to the bed. When he was settled, he noticed Penelope reach her hand out for his. He grasped hers and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"Okay, Penelope," Dr. Bell started. "I'm going to put some gel on your stomach, which will be cold."

Dr. Bell squeezed out a bit of gel. As soon as it hit her belly, Penelope tensed up a bit but soon relaxed as Dr. Bell began moving the Doppler around. Penelope watched the screen on the monitor, she didn't want to miss a thing.

"Okay, if you see this round area here," Dr. Bell pointed out the shape on the screen. "This is the amniotic sac. And this here is your bab- well wait a minute now…"

"What is it, Dr. Bell? Is something wrong?" Penelope asked in a panicky voice. "I did something wrong, didn't I?" she asked trying not to tear up. Derek squeezed her hand that he was holding in both of his.

"Calm down, Penelope," Dr. Bell said as she tried to soothe Penelope by patting her other hand. "Nothing is wrong. I'm sorry, I didn't meant to scare you. I just wanted to make sure what I was looking for is right."

"What are you looking for?" Derek asked as he looked from Dr. Bell to the screen. All he saw were two little blobby white dots that looked oddly enough, like jellybeans.

"Well, you see these two white spots here?" Dr. Bell said as she pointed to them. Both Penelope and Derek nodded, so she continued. "They're both in the same amniotic sac."

"Wait a minute! Dr. Bell, are you saying what I think you're saying?" Penelope asked getting excited.

"Yes, Penelope. Congratulations! Judging from size, looks like in about 6 ½ months you will be the mother to identical twins," Dr. Bell finished, smiling.

"Twins!?" both Penelope and Derek shouted at the same time. They looked at each other in surprise, then down at Penelope's belly, then back to the screen.

Dr. Bell chuckled a bit at the pair. "Yes, twins. Penelope, here's a cloth to wipe off your belly," she said as she handed Penelope a blue cloth. "Now, I'll print a copy of the sonogram in my office. I'll bring it back when I check on you later, and as of right now I would like to keep you overnight for observation, since your fainting is the reason you are here in the first place."

"Oh, alright Dr. Bell," Penelope answered without really thinking. She was still in shock of the news, all she could do was stair down at her stomach as she wiped the gel off.

"I'll leave you two alone now," Dr. Bell said as she turned off the machine and walked out the door.

"Wow," Derek said as he continued to look from Penelope's face to her stomach.

"I know," Penelope replied. "Twins. I mean it really is—WOW!" Penelope exclaimed as she shook her head and looked at Derek. She noticed her was still looking at her belly. "What's going through your head right now, Baby?"

"I…" Derek said as he shook his head a bit. "I think I'm just as surprised as you are!" he said in amazement.

"You're surprised?" Penelope scoffed jokingly.

"Well, yeah. Now instead of having one mini goddess to spoil," Derek said as he raised an eyebrow. "I'll have two."

"Mmm hmm. And what makes you think they'll be girls?" Penelope smirked.

"I have a… feeling," Derek answered with a shoulder shrug.

Penelope laughed at that, but then her gaze fell to her stomach as she turned serious. "This," she said as she started to rub her belly. "This is more than I could have ever asked for," she said as a few tears slipped down her cheeks.

"Hey," Derek said as he reached up to wipe the tears away. "Everything's going to be alright."

"I know, but I never thought I would be doing something like this alone and—"

"You won't have to do it alone," Derek interrupted. "You have me. And I'll be there with you. Every step of the way," he said smiling up at Penelope.

"Oh, I really do love you, Derek Morgan," said Penelope with a watery smile.

Derek picked her hand up and kissed it reverently. "I really do love you, Penelope Garcia," he replied. He noticed Penelope was about to pull her gown back down. "Wait a minute, Baby Girl."

Penelope gave him a puzzled look, but stopped her movements. Derek released her hand and moved so he was sitting on the bed again. He bend his head down close to her stomach.

"Um, hi Jellybeans," he started and looked up toward Penelope's face. When he saw her smile, he continued. "I'm your—well, I'm your Derek. I just want you to know that you two are lucking out, as far as mommies go. Your mommy is the best and she loves you so much already," Derek paused as he looked up at her face again. "And so do I."

"Oh, Derek," Penelope cried, happily. Something about Derek talking to her unborn children through her stomach moved her to no end. She smiled even bigger when she felt him kiss her belly, twice.

Derek sat back upright and pulled the gown back down so that it covered Penelope. "I mean it, Penelope," he said as he grabbed both of her hands in his. "I love them, too."

"I know," Penelope said back as she looked into his eyes and saw the love there. She squeezed his hands back. She could feel something change between them just now. Penelope couldn't quite put her finger on it now, but she couldn't help feel that it would be for the better.
