Chapter 15:

It turned out it was probably very wise of Morgan to finish up the nursery like they had because when they got to work that Monday once again him and the team were headed out of town. This time to Mississippi after a week there they returned home for maybe three days before they were out the door again. The next month or so went like that and last night when they'd finally arrived back home Morgan found a very different Garcia than the one he'd seen during the second trimester of her pregnancy. The energy she'd gotten back during those three months was gone by this point and he could tell she just wasn't feeling good at all.

"What's wrong baby girl," He'd immediately asked after letting himself inside.

"I can't wait for this to be over," Was her answer as she tried once again to find a comfortable position.

Not knowing what to really say to that he'd just dropped his bag and made his way over for to her. "Is their anything I can do goddess,"

"Could you just work some magic with those gorgeous hands of yours," She'd asked.

"Of course," He had replied as he set down on the couch and helped her settle against him. Once she was settled he immediately began to rub her lower back. Eventually she fell asleep but it was still a very long night for the both of them.

That was last night and as a tired Morgan made his way to work he was glad he was able to convince Garcia to stay home for the day.

"How's she doing," A slightly concerned JJ called out as Morgan walked passed her office.

Morgan paused and said, "She wants it to be over and I think I'm starting to agree with her."

JJ smiled, "Yeah I was the same way. Tell you what I'll give her a call in bit alright?"

"Thanks," Morgan said in response, "I'm just going to finish up some paper work so tell her I'll be home early."

"Will do," JJ said as she watched him leave her office.

Later that day…

Garcia shook her head as Morgan let him self in around one in the afternoon. "You know you didn't have to leave work early handsome," She said as he sat down on the couch. "I'm feeling much better now."

"Glad to hear it, babe," Morgan replied with a tired grin, "But we didn't have much going on anyways."

"Alright," She said with a nod. "Take a nap with me you look exhausted."

"Sounds good," Morgan agreed as he helped her up and led the way to the bedroom.

A couple of hours later a refreshed Morgan awoke to find Garcia watching him.

"What's up," He asked as he stretched.

"Not much,' Garcia answered, "Your sister Sarah called a few minutes ago."

"I see," Morgan replied, "What did she want?"

"Michael's uncle passed away so she and him are leaving the boys with your mom and are flying out to Annapolis," Garcia explained.

Morgan nodded as she continued. He'd almost forgotten his brother-in-law had family out here.

"Anyways the funeral is Friday and she wanted to know if we were busy on Saturday since their not leaving until Sunday," Garcia continued to explain.

"Let me guess you told her we didn't have any plans," Morgan said in response when she was finished.

'Of course I did," Garcia said with a smile. "I told her we'd make reservations and meet up for lunch somewhere in D.C."

"Sounds good to me but only if you're up for it," Morgan agreed.

"I should be and if I'm not you're going by yourself because it's been way to long since you've seen her," Garcia replied.

"Baby girl," He started to argue but was quickly off by a kiss from her.

"You're going no matter what, ok," Garcia said when she pulled away.

Relenting he gave her a nod before leaning in to kiss her again.

Moments later they parted and she looked at him and grinned before saying, 'Now that we've got that settled it's time to feed me and the baby."

"Your wish is my command, beautiful," Morgan said as he slid out of bed and helped her up as well.

Together once they were in the kitchen they fixed them each a grilled ham and cheese sandwich and settled on the couch to eat them. Afterwards Garcia shifted positions once again indicating that her back was starting to hurt again.

"Is their anything we can do for that," Morgan asked as he automatically began to rub her back like she'd asked him to do the night before.

"Yeah JJ suggested putting some heat on it earlier and it really seemed to help earlier," Garcia answered with a sigh as he continued to massage her lower back, "Right now though that feels wonderful."

"Good,' Morgan said as he placed a kiss to her hair.

20 minutes late they replaced his hands with a heating pad and Morgan put a movie in.

And that's how the two of them quietly spent the evening. Around 10pm she opted for a warm shower hoping it would relax her and allow her to sleep. It did snuggled up against him she was almost asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow.
