Three Year On

'I return to you two little terrors.'

'Unca George!!' The twin girls whined with a giggle in their voices as they appeared either side of George.

'What's up girlies?' Penelope asked as she left the room, her pregnant stomach looking perfect in a flowing top.

'Unca called us tewors.'

'That's because you two are.' Penelope said adoringly and hugged the pair of them. 'How were they?'

'Absolutely perfect.' George said as the girls ran outside to where there was a larger commotion occurring.

'Well they'd better be they've been spoilt for their 3rd birthday already, plus a whole day with the best Uncle in the world.'

'I wouldn't say that.'

'I would.' Penelope said as she rubbed a hand over her stomach. 'Can you carry this out for me please?'

'Of course I can kiddo.' George responded taking the castle decorated cake. 'How you doing today? I didn't have time to ask earlier.'

'I'm doing okay, one day away from resting this is. I refuse to be on bed rest for this.'

'Don't tire yourself out though eh?'

'I won't.'

'Baby girl... outside now and sit!' Derek said as he came through the door.

'Or what?'

'Or I'll spank you.'

'No you won't!'

'Well if you go outside I won't need to consider it... now go and rest, you've been on the go all week.' Derek heard George laughed, and Penelope smile sweetly. 'Is she trying to pull the wool over your eyes as well?'

'It seems so.' George replied. 'Now get outside Pen... before I kick you out.'

'Oh and harm the next generation of Morgan children?'

'Don't play the pregnancy card on me missy!' George warned, Derek watched on highly amused at yet another Penelope and George show. 'You won't be pregnant forever.'

'Well no... but then you'd be harming the mother of the next generation of Morgan children.' Penelope retorted at him. 'One's, might I add, love you to pieces.' She said pinching his cheek. 'So you wouldn't dare kick me.'

'Just get outside!'

'I'm going!' Penelope laughed and joined the gathering party outside.

'Never wins now days.' Derek and George said together before going outside to really start up the festivities.

As both the men looked on they couldn't help but smile at how life had evolved from such a tragedy that had occurred all those years ago. Penelope and Derek had a growing family. George and JJ had began to make a family for themselves, Hotch and Emily had settled, as had Reid and Desiree. The happy families extended into Rossi, Fran and the remaining Garcia brothers and Lance and Owen, all using the loss of the child to gain strength to make each day even better.

As the saying goes, they lived each day to the fullest. Never missing a moment for nothing, life was too precious to them all.
