Chapter 16: Turning Points

Mid Friday morning Morgan family home…

"Mom I'll be fine, between Des and the team I'll be well taken care of," Morgan said to his mom as she hugged him goodbye

"I know just humor me and let me be sad to see you both go okay," Fran said as she finally pulled away and looked up at him.

Morgan gave his mom one final smile and turned only to be enveloped in another hug by his older sister Sarah.

"You know baby brother, it's surprisingly easier this time to let you go," Sarah whispered.

"Why," He whispered back.

"Because I have a feeling that the next time I see you you'll be happier than I've ever seen you," Sarah answered as she started to pull away.

"Yeah if I have my way I will," Morgan admitted with a wink.

"Just hang in there, she's coming around I can feel it," Sarah said before she and her mom watched both him and Des leave.

Later that day BAU Headquarters…

"Good to see you upright Mighty Morgan," Emily greeted with a smile when she looked op to see Morgan and his sister standing there in the bullpen.

Morgan's brow furrowed. Where in the hell had that nickname come from? Instead of asking that though he said, "Thanks it's good to be able to stand up without feeling like I'm going to fall over any second."

Emily nodded as she stood up and moved to give him a hug, "Ask Hotch if you want to know the story behind the nickname," She said sensing how curious he was before pulling away.

Morgan made a note to do just that.

JJ and Hotch who had been going discussing some potential cases had seen Morgan arrive and had quickly wrapped up what they'd been talking about so they could welcome Morgan back.

"She already called you Mighty Morgan didn't she?" JJ asked as she stepped forward and greeted him with a hug once she and Hotch were in the bullpen with everyone else.

"Yeah I've been told Hotch has the story behind the new nickname," Morgan replied.

"Apparently you've reached superhero status in my son's eyes," Hotch said answering the question Morgan had yet to ask.

Morgan smiled at that as he held out his hand to his boss.

Hotch shook his good hand and then Morgan watched as his sister basically ignored everyone except for the youngest member of the team.

"So are we still on for tonight, Dr. Reid," Des asked with a smile as she leaned down and kissed him on the cheek.

Reid smiled shyly as he finally looked up from the paperwork he'd been focused on and said, "Yes we are."

"What date?" Morgan asked clearly confused by this new information.

"Oh I forgot to mention that to you didn't I," Des said with a mischievous grin as she turned and looked over at her brother. "I guess you're on your own tonight bro, because I already have plans."

Morgan just shook his head before heading to off to the one person he was looking forward to see the most, his baby girl. As for Reid and his sister he was pretty sure that was something he'd never get used to.

Garcia's office…

Garcia had been watching the clock for the past couple of hours knowing full well any minute her dark night would be arriving. She couldn't help but smile to herself when she heard a familiar knock on her office door.

"The goddess is in, enter at your own risk," She quipped in greeting as she heard him step furthering into her domain.

"So how's cyberspace, baby girl," Morgan greeted with a smile when she turned around.

"It's fantastic now that you're back," She replied her eyes twinkling as she stood up and made her way over to him.

"You feel so good," He said after a minute or two of just holding her as close as he could.

Garcia couldn't help but smile against his good shoulder, "So do you handsome," She easily replied before going onto say. "I think even my babies have missed you."

Morgan chuckled in response to that and had to admit he had missed being in her office as well.

They pulled a part after a few minutes and he sat down beside her before speaking again, "So my sister's leaving me all alone tonight."

"Yeah I heard our resident genius has plans for her tonight," Was Garcia's response.

Morgan shook his head, "I'm really trying not to think about that."

"Oh come on," Garcia exclaimed with a grin, "its Reid there's nothing to worry about."

"Yeah I know," Morgan agreed admitting to her that he never pictured his sister with someone like Reid. "So like I was saying she's leaving me all alone…"

"Are you asking for some company sugar," Garcia interrupted.

"Yeah we're kind of behind on our movie nights aren't we," Morgan replied.

"Well in that case I think I can make time for you," Garcia said with a grin.

"Good," Morgan said grinning in return, "I guess I'll see you tonight around 7pm."

"You bet," Garcia said as she instinctively reached out to help him to his feet.

"Thank you," he whispered after accepting her help. He then kissed her forehead before heading out.
