Chapter 7:

It turned out the information Garcia had been looking up for JJ pertained to their next case so the following day the team was on their way to Yuma, Arizona where six adolescent boys had been taken over the past three months. The authorities there were getting desperate. Not a single boy had been found and the trail had run completely cold.

Fueled by anger and eager to have something to take his mind off his feelings Morgan threw himself into the case over the next two weeks. In the end the victory was only small because they'd only been able to save one of the boys. Nonetheless they'd gotten the sick bastard and at the moment they were on their way back to Quantico.

"We're not going to make on time are we," Emily asked half-way through the flight.

Morgan shook his head. Garcia had a sonogram scheduled for today and to say she was excited to find out the sex of the baby would be the understatement of the year; in fact the last two nights he'd talked to her that's all she'd been able to talk about, "No her appointment's in twenty minutes."

"Hey don't beat yourself up about it," Emily replied, "You'll be there tonight to celebrate the news with her."

"I'm betting it's a girl," JJ added with a thoughtful look on her face.

"Why," Reid asked curiously looking up from the book he'd been reading.

"Because it's time for a girl, we've got Jack and Henry, what we need now is a girl," JJ answered.

"Yeah but do you really think the world is ready for another Garcia," Reid asked.

"He brings up a point," Emily conceded, "But I'm with JJ a little girl would be a nice addition to the fold."

Morgan didn't say a word but the truth was he wouldn't mind it being a little girl especially if it was anything like her mother.

Three hours later…

The team had just stepped off the airplane when Morgan's phone rang, "Hey baby girl," Morgan greeted, "You done with your appointment yet/"

"Yeah I just got done, handsome," Garcia answered excitedly, "Do want me to tell you now or wait till your home tonight?"

"Well we just got off the plane, so what do you say you meet me and the gang for dinner, you can tell us then," Morgan answered as the rest of the team watched him intently.

"Alright, I'm craving pasta, so about Bellario's in a half hour," Garcia agreed.

"Sounds good gorgeous I'll see you in a few," Morgan agreed as well before hanging up. Once he flipped his phone shut he looked at them and asked, "Bellario's you guys up for it?"

"Of course," They all agreed one by one even Hotch.

Less than a half hour later they all arrived at the little Italian restaurant and quickly made their way inside and over to where Garcia was already seated.

Garcia stood up as they approached the table and received a hug from all of them before they all took a seat. Once they were seated she smiled really big before saying, "I'm having a girl."

"You are," Morgan said in wonder.

"Yes I am, isn't that wonderful," Garcia replied.

Breaking into a huge grin Morgan leaned over before he could stop himself and kissed her. "More than wonderful," Morgan agreed mere seconds after he quickly pulled away. He then stood up and excused himself.

"Oh my god I was just telling them I thought is was going to be girl," JJ said to Garcia who wasn't paying attention because she was too busy watching Morgan head towards the restrooms at the front of the restaurant.

"You, what," A very distracted Garcia said as she tried to shake off the feeling she had about the kiss Morgan had just given her. Something was different about it. It wasn't like the chaste friendly kisses he sometimes gave her on the lips. No this was something more; the question was what was it?

"I said I bet everyone on the plane that it was a girl," JJ repeated.

"Yeah she claimed after two boys it was time for a girl to join the fold," Rossi added as he leaned across the table and congratulated her.

Garcia just smiled at that before saying, "Well to be honest I was really hoping for a girl."

A couple minutes after mentally berating himself for kissing her in front of everyone Morgan rejoined them.

"You okay," Garcia asked as he sat back down beside her.

'I'm fine," He answered hoping that nobody would pick up on the tension in his voice.

Garcia nodded deciding she would talk to him alter tonight when they were alone.

The celebration continued as they placed their orders and as they all ate their fair share of delicious pasta.

An hour later…

As soon as they were inside Garcia's apartment she took a deep breath before asked him what was wrong.

"Nothing baby girl," He quickly answered, "I'm just really tired. Happy, but tired alright?"

"Are you sure because you seemed fine until you kissed me," Garcia asked rather than letting the subject go.

"Yes I'm fine. I just got caught up in the moment, sorry if the kiss offended you," Morgan said as he sat down on the couch.

Sitting down right next to him she shook her head, "Offend me Derek, how could someone as sexy as you kissing me be offensive."

Morgan smiled, "Well when you put it that way…"

"Oh stop," Garcia cutting him off before he could finish, "If it wasn't a big deal like you say then we'll just forget the kiss happened, alright?"

"Sounds good to me," Morgan said in agreement even if that was the last thing he actually wanted to do.
