Chapter 20:

Barely two hours after they had laid down both Morgan and Garcia were woken up by the sound of the baby crying. Automatically Garcia went to get up but Morgan stopped her, "I'll go take care of her," He said before gently ordering her to get some more rest.

Garcia nodded and settled back down; Morgan meanwhile made his way to the nursery. "Hey angel," he said as he picked up.

Her only answer as he made his way to the kitchen was another wail. As quickly as he could he made her a bottle and once it was in her mouth she began to suck eagerly and immediately calmed down.

"That's it," Morgan murmured to her as he made his way back to the nursery. Once he was back inside he sat down in the rocking chair and watched as she continued to go to town on the bottle. During that time he just talked to her as if she could understand every word he was saying. When she was finished with the bottle she just stared up at him as he continued to talk. Noticing she wasn't sucking on the bottle he stopped his talking and grinned at her. "Daddy needs to shut up doesn't he?"

She just grinned back in response which Morgan took as a yes.

30 minutes later after she was burped, had her wet diaper changed, and was settled back down he returned to bed.

Hotch had given him the next few days off so two hours later he again got back up with the baby. It was a routine they settled into until he returned to work and Morgan had to admit he loved those times when he just got to hold little Mags in his arms.

Garcia loved those times too and she had plenty of them once Morgan returned back to work because Hotch had given her the same order he'd given JJ when it had come to their maternity leave.

One month after Mags' birth…

"Where is she? Where's my grandbaby," Fran said as soon as Morgan walked into the apartment with her and his two sisters. Much to his surprise his mom had waited almost a month before informing him last week that she and his sisters were flying out to see little Mags.

"She's right here," Garcia said as she appeared in the hallway with Mags.

Quickly the three Morgan women swarmed their way over to Garcia who informed them that she'd just woken up a few minutes ago. Morgan watched as his mom took the baby with a smile before he made his way around them and wrapped Garcia in his arms.

"Mmm," he sighed into her hair as she leaned back against him.

"Miss me much handsome," She teased.

"Always beautiful," He replied back very smoothly before leaning down to kiss her.

"Awe," He heard his younger sister Des say once he pulled his lips away.

"What," He asked as he glared over at her.

"Nothing," His sister said with a grin identical to his, "It's just Sarah was right for once you madly in love is adorable."

He would've said something sarcastic back to that but a phone call from JJ put a stop to that as well as his plans to enjoy the rest of the family gathering.

"I've got to go," He informed them all sadly as he hugged and kissed them all good bye. With that he grabbed his ready bag and left.

It was the first away case he and the team had since Mags birth and with that case and the ones that followed Garcia and the team noticed a very much welcomed change in Morgan. Sure he was as dedicated as he always had been, possibly more depending on how you looked at it. However he didn't take as many chances as they were used to him taking. Their resident macho man thought twice before throwing himself into danger. Weighed the risk more of his actions before he took them if only to make sure that at the end of a case he could return home to his daughter.

Garcia adjusted to motherhood as well and when her maternity leave was over she only returned to work part time, at least to the office that is. It was something she'd decided to do not long after they'd brought Mags home and it was a decision Morgan had supported 100%.

Mags grew like a weed and everyday it seemed as she was doing something she hadn't been able to do the day before. No matter how big the accomplish was she was praised by both her parents someway somehow.

The one year anniversary of Kevin's death fell right around the time Mags was four months old. However Garcia woke up that morning feeling anything but sad. A part of her still missed him. There wasn't any doubt about that. A part of her always would for her daughter's sake because without him she wouldn't be where she was to stay. She wouldn't have what had today.

With that in mind she turned over to face Derek who lay wide awake beside her holding Mags.

"You okay, baby girl," He asked knowing exactly what today was.

She nodded with a smile before saying, "Of course I am my vision."

And that was the honest truth she was because she had him, her rock, beside her. Love couldn't get any more rock solid than the love they had and with that in mind she lowered her head to kiss him.
