Chapter 19:

Later that evening…

"Please, Derek," Garcia practically begged as she watched him feed the baby this time.

"Are you sure," Morgan questioned as he looked away from the baby.

"Yes I'm sure," Garcia answered figuring he not only needed but deserved one really good night of sleep before they brought the baby home.

"Alright," Morgan finally conceded, "Emily's going to stay with you right?"

"Yes I am, now leave," Emily who had just arrived back answered.

"A little too eager, aren't we," Morgan teased as he took the now empty bottle out of his daughter mouth.

"Possibly," Emily agreed, "But seriously Morgan you look pretty exhausted."

He nodded and leaned his down to kiss his daughter goodnight before standing up and laying her down on Garcia's chest. "I'll see all you tomorrow morning," He then said before leaning down to kiss her. With once final glance he was gone.

"That was easier than I thought it would be," Emily said as she sat down in a chair next to Garcia's hospital bed.

"That's because you missed all the fuss he put up," Garcia explained with a grin.

Emily just nodded and smiled as the baby snuggled closer to her mother.

Meanwhile…

Morgan had just arrived home and it was no surprise where he found himself heading as soon as he entered Garcia's apartment. Once inside he moved directly to the nursery. Standing in the doorway he couldn't help but smile as he looked around the still empty nursery. He knew that it would be the last time he looked at without his daughter being in it and with that in mind he turned off the light and headed straight to the bed. Sleep came surprisingly easy despite the fact that Garcia wasn't in bed beside him.

The next morning…

The next morning Morgan woke up incredibly refreshed and as he had his first cup of coffee it dawned on him there was somewhere he wanted to go before heading straight the hospital. Therefore after a quick shower he headed out and drove to his destination.

Twenty minutes later he arrived at the cemetery. He'd been here three or four times before with Garcia but had always stayed in the car while she visited Kevin's grave; mainly because he figured it was something she wanted to do alone. This time was a bit different though so with one final deep breath he stepped out of the car.

He took another deep breath once he was standing at Kevin's grave before speaking. "Hey man," He began, "I bet I'm the last person you ever expected to be here but I just wanted to let you know that she's here…"

Pausing to collect his thoughts he let out yet another deep breath before continuing, "She's beautiful too, just like her mother but then agin tehre was never any doubt about that was there? Anyways I just wanted you to know that and to know that I'll take care of both of them. I promise."

With that he said goodbye and climbed back in his car. After one more final look at Kevin's grave he drove off to the hospital.

Garcia's hospital room 30 minutes later…

"How are my angels, this morning," A rather subdued Morgan asked as he entered the room and saw Magdalene in Garcia's arms just like he had left her the night before.

"We're both great," Garcia answered, "In fact we're both getting kicked out of here this afternoon."

"Good," Morgan said as he sat on the edge beside her, "Because the apartment's too lonely without you."

"Oh come here handsome," Garcia said as she brought his head down to her shoulder with her one hand; the other remained around her daughter. 'What's wrong," She then asked.

"Not much, I umm… I went to see Kevin," He murmured against her shoulder, "I just wanted him to know she was here, you know."

"Thank you for that sweetness," She replied unaware that Emily who had just returned from finding coffee was standing in the doorway watching them with a smile on her face.

"Your welcome baby girl," Morgan said as he lifted his head off her shoulder and smiled.

Garcia returned his smile before bringing his lips down to hers.

"Hey cut it out you two before you scar my niece for life," Emily finally said as she stepped further into the room.

Morgan pulled away and shot Emily a glare before saying, "Good morning to you too."

Emily just smiled before asking, "Did she tell you they both get to leave today?"

Morgan nodded before the adults were interrupted by a cry from little Magdalene letting them know she was awake.

Immediately he reached for her and scooped her up into his arms, "Good morning angel, I missed you."

She just wiggled and stretched in his arms.

"I think she missed you too, hot stuff," Garcia observed.

Morgan just nodded but his eyes remained glued to the little girl in his arms.

Garcia's apartment later on that afternoon…

Morgan opened the door to reveal the rest of the team waiting there to greet them.

"Welcome home," Hotch said as he led her to the couch. Morgan meanwhile went to drop Garcia's bag in their bedroom.

"Thanks sir," Garcia said as she slowly sat down.

"We're not staying too long we just wanted welcome her home," Morgan heard JJ explain as he arrived back in the living room.

Garcia shook her head, "Stay as long as you want, I'm sure she won't mind."

The team stayed to true to JJ's word however and were gone within the next hour. Morgan saw them out and after the last of them were gone he found Garcia in the nursery standing beside the crib where Magdalene lay with the blanket his mom had made wrapped around her.

Coming up behind her he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed the top of her head before saying, "I think the nursery's finally finished."

She leaned back against him before murmuring, "You're right the only thing it was missing was her."

He nodded before saying, "Come on Mama, let's get you some sleep while we can."

And with that he led her out of the nursery.
