'You know I should be forced to take a pregnant woman home more often.' George said relaxing on the couch in Penelope's office.

'Yeah because it's working so well bro that I refuse to move.' Penelope quipped at him her voice slick with her pleasurable sarcastic tones.

'I'll fireman's carry if need be.'

'You do and you'll pay.'

'How so kiddo?'

'Oh your little sister knows many a ways to serve pay back.' Penelope said as she spun around with a crooked smile that he knew she was getting to the end of her work load. 'I'm giving up.' She admitted and turned back to her computers, hitting multiple keys, George watched some of the screens fizzle out and turn off, he stood up and approached her.

'Let's get you home.' He said and helped her stand up. 'Still in pain?' He asked as she got a look of discomfort sprawl across her features.

'It's more isolated discomfort than anything.'

'Then shouldn't you tell Derek?'

'I'm pregnant with twins, we were told before we started IVF that if anything multiple pregnancies would occur and it did, we were told what would happen and it is but come on 2 more months, I can survive.'

'You'll rest?'

'Well to get off my feet I'll rest for a life time.'

'You learn quickly little one.' He said and tapped her nose. 'You know pregnancy suits you.'

'I guess so...'

'What's up?' Penelope sighed nonchalantly and looked up at her brother, another one of her off loaders, another protector.

'2 weeks they've been gone, I just miss him.'

'I know you do kiddo, but let's get you home and he'll be back before you know it.'

'You staying again?'

'I am indeed.' George said as he turned her light off in her office and headed out with her. 'So you two thought of names yet?'

'Apart from tadpoles and peanuts? No.'

'Not even a little bit.'

'We haven't found the right names yet.' Penelope said as they walked. 'I want to ask if we can call one if ones a girl, Isabella.'

'After mom?'

'Right.'

'So where's the problem?'

'Its not a joint decision.'

'Put it forward Pen... then decide...'

'I do like James if its a boy... after Derek's dad but ...'

'But nothing, there's a compromise there, tell him that and let him see, its only fair.' Penelope nodded and smiled as they got closer to George's SUV.

'I know, too much time alone makes me over think.' She looked at him as he helped her in. 'I need to chill out more.'

'We know you're like it because of the babies' kiddo... its warranted.' George reasoned with her and saw her understand. 'Now how are those cravings today?'

'Not so bizarre.' Penelope told him and looked at him. 'I just fancy a quiet night in, DVD, multiple covers, food.'

'Do you want PJ's in there too?'

'Sounds like bliss.' Penelope agreed as they neared closer and closer to hers and Derek's humble abode. 'You know I think I might miss being pregnant.'

'You are going to go for more than these two though right?'

'I don't know... I mean it's taken us nearly 3 years to get these and it was a struggle I must admit, I didn't want to keep feeling the loss but we've got two children on the way, surely that's better than one?'

'That is kiddo.' George mused. 'I'm going to try and be the best uncle I can be.'

'How about God father?'

'Me? Why me?'

'Because both me and Derek decided that you of all people should be it, you've looked after me when the team have been away, I mean Christ George you looked after me when I had the flu and got me better before Derek got home, no ones ever done that.'

'The others wanted to come and help out.' He said remembering how Jimmy and the other brothers wanted to get to Quantico just to help out. Lance even booked tickets before Penelope warned them against it.

'I don't like the fuss so I'm glad they didn't.'

Not long after Penelope found herself opening the door to a place she loved too much, a place that ebbed the presence of her family, but mostly her husband. George shut the door and locked it how he knew his sister and brother-in-law liked and followed her, she turned the light on and he smirked.

'BABY SHOWER!' The mass of people sat, George caught Penelope as she jumped back and felt uneasy on her feet at the surprise, he felt her quickly recover and released her as Derek approached her, a huge smile on his lips and eloped her into a bear hug, Penelope nuzzled his chest as she hung on tight.

'Hey baby girl... you going to let go and look who's come here?'

'No.' She said into his chest.

'And why not?'

'Because I've missed you too much.' She said and felt him laugh at her declaration, it was the laugh she loved so much, that rang through his chest and reverberated into her head. She finally pulled away and looked at him. 'What are you doing home?'

'We finished the case just didn't tell you... there's been a group of this lot sorting this out, ringing us and making plans all the while we've done our job.'

Penelope looked at all the people and smiled. 'Thank you.'

'Hey! No baby or well babies born into this family deserve to go unnoticed Doris.' Lance said stepping into full view. His eyes bulged at her, how she radiated with the pregnancy. 'Now this is the reason I am never going away and not seeing you for 3 months!'

'Ditto.' Owen said stepping out too, the pair approached Penelope and hugged her and she willing reciprocated the gesture. 'You look beautiful.'

'No I look frumpy.' Penelope corrected pointedly.

'Beautiful!' She got corrected, this time with anyone joining in making her laugh and back down.

'So kiddo, you still want a quiet night?'

'Not when the party's here now.'

'Penelope Morgan and a quiet night?' Jimmy asked. 'Now those two don't mingle in imagination.'

'But they do in real life.'

'Is that so?'

'Let's just say me and George might have burnt out the DVD player.' Penelope admitted and looked around smiling. 'So, how we getting this party started?'

'Now we can.' Emily said and the music got turned on and up. 'Plus we have presents.' Penelope rolled her eyes almost knowingly.

'That you are accepting like the good mommy you are!' Kat said with a smile.

'That's okay on me.' Penelope responded as Derek looped his arm around her waist and pulled her close.

'I do believe pregnancy has made one Penelope Morgan soft!' Andy teased as the first of the presents was given to the soon to be parents.
