'I like the all listening Penelope.' George said as he sat down opposite Penelope in the garden. 'Makes me wonder why she never did it before.'

'You weren't forceful enough.'

'Weren't forceful enough! Kiddo, any more forceful would've been tying you down.'

'Which you'd never do because you love your little sister.' Penelope said with a smile full of innocence.

'I'd say we've finally found some people to break Pen's independency.'

'Took them long enough.' She said looking at Hotch, Derek and Rossi. 'You don't need to worry about me I'll rest and you wait until I'm back in full force.'

'Which won't be for another couple of weeks Penelope.'

'I know!' She groaned sarcastically at the boss. 'I hear it every day, if I don't know it by now then I never will.'

'Well then it's good you know it.'

'Yeah I bet.'

'Shall we show her something really fun?' George asked the other brothers.

'Show me what?' Penelope asked seeing as she was the only female currently sitting around. They looked at her. 'What have you got now?'

'We'll show you.' Andy said as he stood. 'Sitting too long's got to hurt as much as too much standing.'

'Spot on big bro.' She said as she stood gingerly, only to feel arms wrap around her.

'You need to slow down from time to time goddess.'

'Ha! Pen slow down! Miracle!'

'Stop making me a joke yeah... what was it mom always said?'

'You were only the joke because you learnt it.'

'Well take her sound advice and listen to it.' Penelope quipped after the four brothers' spoke in unison.

'So who did I learn it off?'

'Carl.'

'And me?' Carl asked intrigued.

'George.'

'And then who did I learn it off?'

'Joel.'

'Oh so where did I learn it?'

'Oh you were bore stupid.' Penelope added, making everyone laugh even Joel as he picked up the joke quickly.

'Oh you're just so funny aren't you eh kiddo?'

'I thought so.' She replied as she followed them throughout the house into the family room in the front of the house. When she stood there, she stood astounded. 'Oh my.'

'Oh don't do that!' George said smirking as she looked in awe at the art piece on the wall. 'You thought we'd get rid of it?'

'Well no but...'

'No buts Pen.' George finalised as Penelope gawped at the piece on the wall. 'That was a sheer masterpiece kiddo... a Penelope Garcia original.'

'Penelope did that?' Hotch asked amazed but not surprised that Penelope had another trick up her sleeve.

'She did indeed, just before our mom and dad passed on.'

'You made mom proud with that Pen.'

'It's just paint.'

'Hey baby girl, don't you dare cut yourself short you hear.' She nodded at Derek's claim and looked at her brothers.

'Why do you have it?'

'Well George has it because you two were always closest, and he did help with it.'

'His whirlwind lifestyle.' Penelope whispered not sure where to look so she looked at the art work. 'I really forgot about this.'

'We didn't! ' Andy said as he put his arm around Penelope. 'Kiddo, you've always been remembered.'

'Yeah just go up George's stairs.'

'Oh and Joel's.'

'All of ours.' Joel commented.

'Your stairs?'

'Come on, then you can get sitting down while everyone arrives.' They lead the way throughout the house again, pictures everywhere, old and new intermingled but on the stairs all old pictures of them growing up. 'We split them fairly, taking our favourite.' George said as he pointed one out and took it off the wall and handed it to Penelope.

'What are you doing?' She said as she looked at it, it was one from her bedroom, one of her and George sitting under a tree drawing. Penelope's eyes blurred as the tears gathered, she kept her eyes down and remained silent.

'It was your favourite kiddo, its from your bedroom, only fair you have it back.'

'I can't do that.'

'Pen you'll have the ones back from your room.'

'No.'

'Why not?'

'Because they're not mine, they're yours.'

'No they're all of ours to share.' George looked at them and the three others agreed. 'Now can someone put this and a few others in your car before she finds a way to get it back on the wall please?'

'I take them...' Hotch offered, knowing that Penelope was not going to win this.

'Okay Aaron, we'll sort this business out while everyone else get outside and start a party please.' George pushed everyone outside, the day was about fun and family, and everyone was soon going to be there, part of a farewell to Penelope and the team seeing as they leaving in 2 days. The four brothers wanted to lap up their sister's presence with them for a bit more.
