A/N: Wow seriously over 100 reviews already that's just awesome. Anyways I just wanted to thank all of you for that. Honestly this chapter here should have been up already but I just haven't gotten around to typing any of the new ones up yet. No good excuse other than pure laziness on my part but I plan on rectifying that today. Anyways here's another chapter at last, enjoy and as always don't forget to review.
As for where I'm ending this story that's still a bit up in the air, the good news for you though is that it means there will definitely be more of it than what I had initially intended because I have decided that I'm definitely not going to end it right after the baby is born. Right now the baby's birth looks about three or four chapters away and I'm thinking about writing another three or four chapters past that. Does that sound okay to you all?
Chapter 13:
The next day …
"Okay let's get the party started," Emily exclaimed as she ushered Garcia into JJ's office and shut the door.
Garcia just shook her head and moved slowly over to a chair. Once she was seated she looked at all of the presents, "Those all aren't from you two are they?"
"No there's at least one from every member of the team," JJ answered.
"And about 1000 from just Morgan alone," Emily added.
"Not quite that many," JJ reassured shaking her head at Emily whom at least four of the presents were from.
Garcia just smiled in response before reaching for the first gift. Picking up the bag that was closest to her she reached inside and pulled out several books one was a complete anthology of Aesop's Fables, another was a collection of Mother Goose Nursery Rhymes, as well as another couple of classic stories.
"Reid said you were going to need some good books to read to her," JJ remarked as Garcia thumbed through the books.
"He did the same thing for Henry, didn't he," She asked as she placed the books back in the bag.
"Yeah Will swears he sends a new one every week," JJ answered, "My son's not even a year old and he has his own library."
"That's what happens when you give your kid a genius for a godfather," Emily quipped.
JJ just shook her head again as she handed Garcia another gift, this one was from her.
"Oh how adorable," Garcia gushed as she pulled out one of the many dresses JJ hadn't been able to resist buying.
"I know," JJ agreed as Garcia pulled out about four more outfits, "I couldn't resist."
"Neither could I," Emily agreed as she handed one of her presents, "We're here to make sure she end's up being as much of a fashionista as you are."
"Sounds good to me," Garcia replied who had no problem leaving today with another complete wardrobe for her daughter. Derek might but oh well.
BAU bullpen…
"So it's settled then," Morgan asked.
Reid nodded. He didn't really know how much help he would be but nonetheless he'd agreed to help Morgan finish up the nursery this weekend.
"What'd you con the boy into now," Rossi asked as he approached the two younger men.
"Helping me finish the nursery this weekend; I've still got plenty of things to put together and walls to paint," Morgan explained, "You want to volunteer?"
"Depends what's in it for me," Rossi replied seeing how he had no actual plans for the weekend.
"Oh maybe a nice bottle of scotch or two," Morgan offered in response.
"Hey how come you didn't offer me anything," Reid asked before Rossi could say anything.
"Because I knew I could talk you into without offering you anything, face it kid you're easy," Morgan answered before turning his attention back to Rossi who appeared to still be contemplating his answer.
"Scotch, you say,'" Rossi finally said.
"Yep and the never ending adoration of Penelope," Morgan added.
"Alright then," Rossi agreed.
"Thanks," Morgan said as their unit chief made his way over to them.
"What's going on," Hotch asked as he looked at the three of them.
"Morgan conned us into helping him finish the nursery,' Rossi answered.
"Conning is such a strong word man I like to think of it as persuading," Morgan argued.
Hotch just shook his head before he heard Morgan ask whether or not he wanted to help. "I've got Jack for the weekend," He answered, "But I could still swing by for a little bit."
"Good you've got more experience with this than I do," Morgan replied.
Hotch didn't argue instead he just nodded before heading back to his office.
Later that day Emily and the others helped Morgan load his SUV with all of the gifts because he had refused to let Garcia carry anything.
That weekend…
"I can't believe you conned the whole team into helping you," Garcia teased as they ate breakfast.
"Hey like I said to Rossi conned is such a strong word I like to think of it as persuasion,' Morgan replied right back.
"Yeah and I know just how persuasive you can be," Garcia agreed.
Morgan smiled as they continued to eat everyone would be here in about an hour or so.
Once they were finished eating they quickly cleaned up the kitchen together before making there way over to the couch. Where once again Garcia brought up what she'd been saying to him all week, "You know you don't have to finish it this weekend, we still have three months till she arrives."
"Yeah and like I've told you a dozen times now, with our crazy schedule I'd rather get it done now while I can rather than wait and have it unfinished," Morgan replied.
Garcia nodded whispering, "That's why I love you hot stuff," Before she leaned up and kissed him.
Using his hand to cup her cheek he held her lips to his and kissed her back with equal fervor. "Right back at you gorgeous,' he whispered breathlessly moment later when they pulled apart for air.
Garcia just smiled and Morgan couldn't resist leaning in to kiss her once again.
"They'll be here any minute," Garcia warned as he kissed his way over to her earlobe and nipped at it.
"Yeah I know," He whispered back, "Until then we can play."
As if on cue not a moment or two later there was a knock on her door.
