Labor Day-Ch 3
About 90 minutes later Derek looked up and saw his family standing at Penelopes hospital room door, he said, "come in, come in". Fran was the first closely followed by Reid, Derek said, "pretty boy I will never be able to thank you enough for everything you did".
He said, "I'm just glad that I was there", Penelope looked up from her daughter and said, "me to, I don't know what I would have done if you hadn't been there". JJ kissed her husbands cheek and said, "my husband the hero" causing Reid to blush.
Derek said, "pretty boy would you like to hold your namesake"?, he said, "I'd be honored", Derek carefully slid Hank into his arms and said, "Hank Spencer Morgan this is your uncle, the man that helped your momma bring you into this world".
Hank wiggled in Spencers arms and he said, "hey there little man, it's an honor to meet you and your sister", Penelope said, "you are now and will always be my hero Spencer Reid". She then looked at Fran and said, "Fran would you like to hold your granddaughter"?, Fran rubbed her hands and said, "would I, ohhhhh yessssss" as Penelope handed her Heather.
Fran said, "ya know I can definitely handle a few more of these", Derek said, "momma she just gave birth less than 2 hours ago, she's gonna need time to rest". Fran said, "of course she does but what I'm saying is that my babies make beautiful babies and I can't wait for more".
Penelope said, "what about you hotstuff, you wantin more babies"?, he kissed her lips passionately and said, "as long as they're with you we can have as many as you want goddess". Hotch cleared his throat and said, "the director sends his congratulations you two and he has extended your paid leave from 9 weeks to 18 weeks so that you can be home with the twins".
Derek said, "wow, 18 weeks paid"?, Dave laughed and said, "he's probably afraid that you're gonna sue over the elevator breaking down". JJ and Emily laughed and said, "I wonder what he would have done if he would have been the one on the elevator with Garcie"?, Reid said, "he would have probably passed out or freaked out, neither of which would have helped with my niece and nephews births".
Penelope wiggled her fingers for Reid to step closer and when he leaned down she kissed his cheek and said, "you are a special man Spencer Reid and Derek and I are going to be forever grateful that you stayed late to take me to my surprise party".
JJ and Emily looked at each other and then at her and said in unison, "YOU KNEW"?, without skipping a beat he looked at them and said, "well she is the all seeing, all knowing oracle". He then looked at Penelope and winked and said, "right Garcia"?, she said, "right my heap of gray matter" causing everybody to laugh.
For the next couple of hours the family laughed, talked and passed the twins around so that everybody had the chance to love on them. Reid said, "I just remembered what today is", Derek said, "what is today Reid"?, he said, "it's labor day", Penelope put her hand on her stomach and said, "and I'd say I brought this holiday to a new level".
Derek kissed her gently on the lips and said, "that you did baby girl, that you did", Penelope laid her head back and started talking to her friends and it wasn't long before she drifted off to sleep. Derek leaned down and kissed her on the top of the head and said, "thank you for making me the luckiest and happiest man in the world and I promise that I'm going to spend the rest of my life loving you and being loved by you".
He then walked over and kissed his daughter and son on the top of the head and said, "welcome to the clan you two, welcome to the clan". While Penelope slept her family held, played with and fed the twins as they adjusted to their new surroundings.
As Derek looked around the room he knew that labor day would always hold a special place in his heart and his life because that was the day his beautiful twins made their appearance to the world.
