Chapter 7

The team makes up...

Morgan's Office:

Garcia approched Morgan's door aprehensivly, and knocked softly on his open door.

Morgan looked up in shock, seeing Penelope standing in his doorway looking scared.

"Garcia, are you okay, has something happened?" Derek asked, getting up and moving towards her, unable to stand seeing the fear on her pretty face. He was even more shocked when the vibrant woman burst into tears. He moved fast, taking her in his arms trying to calm and comfort her.

"Oh Derek, I'm so sorry, I was so mad because I knew how hurt Emily was, I couldn't see anything else. I can't believe I hit you, I am so sorry, please forgive me." Garcia wailed her fist clenching, in his shirt.

"Baby girl, shuuush...It's okay..." Morgan tighted his arms around her, rocking her gently. "I deserved the slap, of course I forgive you! Do you... can you you forgive me?" He asked pulling back a little, to see her face.

Garcia nodded her head, while trying to wipe away tears. "Yes, God yes, my Chocolate Adonis, I forgive you."

Morgan grinned broadly, not realizing till that moment, just how much he had missed their playful banter. He tugged Garcia in to his arms, for another tight hug, even more relieved, when he felt he return it, just as tightly. And even though he knew they still had alot of talking and healing to do, but he felt better than he had in days.


Garcia And Reid Talk:

Feeling bolstered by her talk with Morgan, Garcia went to go find their resident genius. It was time she, rebuilt that bridge also. She found him in the break room, telling Agent Anderson, about the lifespan of screach owls. She shook her head fondly, smiling, she hadn't realized just how much she missed his random facts and statistics.

"Spencer?" Garcia asked almost timidly, "Can we talk?"

Reid's head jerked up as he turned toward Garcia, "Really?" He asked hopefully.

Garcia smiled nodding, "Yes, unless your busy, I can come back." she said gesturing to Anderson.

Reid looked at the other man, he had forgotten he was there the second he had heard Garcia's voice.

Anderson, seeing his opportunity to escape said, "No Ma'am, it's nothing that can't wait." Turning, he nearly ran out the door, leaving the tech and the genius alone, for the first time in days.

"Garcia.." Reid started, "No, let me go first," Penelope interupted him. Reid nodded, sitting down at the small table they kept in the breakroom. Garcia, sat across from him and took his hand.

"I know you never meant for things to turn out this way. I know that your sorry, I'm sorry too. I should have let you guys explain, instead I let my mad takeover my brain. I want to fix this, all of this..." Garcia trailed off trying to gather her scattered thoughts.

"Me too!" Reid spoke softly, squeezing her hand, "I am so sorry, I never should have suggested that we spy on you guys. I hate what this has done to the team, if I could take it back..." Now, it seemed it was his turn, to search for words.

Garcia nodded, patting his hand comfortingly. "I know sweat pea, I know."

"Are we okay Garcia?" Reid asked.

"Sugarplum, we're more than okay. We're family." Garcia said getting up, coming around the table, to hug him tightly. Reid returned the hug, just as tight, feeling relieved.

Garcia pulled back smiling, "Now I have to go see Rossi, hopefully he won't kill me for what I did."

Reid laughed for the first time in days, "Don't worry Garcia, he's too afraid of you to kill you."

The two laughed and hugged again, before Garcia left to go make amends to the senior profiler.


Rossi's office:

Garcia knocked on Dave's closed office door, hoping he wouldn't slam it in her face when he saw it was her.

Dave opened the door, backing up slightly when he saw Garcia.

Penelope flinched, but took a deep breath, and asked softly, " Can we talk?"

Dave noticing how nervous she seemed to be nodded, gesturing to the chairs in front of his desk. Garcia sat down, waiting for Dave to do the same, before speaking.

"Rossi, I'm sorry, I'm...just sorry," She said not looking at him.

"Kitten," Garcia's head jerked up at the endearment, "It's okay. All of us are sorry, it's time to move past this." Dave said, getting up from behind his desk, moving to lean against it in front of her. He reached out to take her hand, squeezing lightly.

Penelope looked up at him, smiling lightly, "So... are we okay? she asked. " Even after..." Garcia trailed off gesturing helplessly.

Dave laughed, "Yeah, I had it coming, but damn woman, you're good at kicking a man while he's down."

Garcia threw herself into his arms hugging him tightly, laughing softly, agreeing with him.

"Kitten, The Critter Connection? Really?" Dave asked shaking his head, pulling back to look at her.

Garcia grinned, "I knew it would piss you off, but I'm really sorry about the ex thing, and don't worry I took you off the no fly list, and fixed your credit report." The former said sheepishly.

Dave laughed, hugging his favorite tech. He knew they'd be okay.


J.J. And Morgan Make-up:

Morgan approched J.J. uneasily, he wanted to fix things, with the woman who was like a sister to him.

"J.J.?" He asked, "Can we talk?"

J.J. smiled nodding, "I was hoping we could."

Morgan blew out a breath, "Wanna go for a walk?"

"Okay," J.J. taking his arm, as they walked out of the building.

They walked over to a picnic area, sitting down.

"Jay, I'm sorry, I need you to know that. I'd beat the crap out of anyone if they had pulled a stunt like this on you three, I can't believe I let myself hurt you guys this way..." Morgan trailed off, disgusted with himself.

J.J. shook her head, Morgan was always hardest on himself. "Derek, it's okay, I'm sorry too. We all made one hell of mess out of this, didn't we?"

"Yeah, we did, we made a worse one for Hotch and Emily though." Derek said, wondering again just what had happened between the dark haired duo.

"I know, Emily won't talk about it, she'll barely talk at all, we need a plan. Those two are perfect for each other!"J.J. said fustratingly.

Morgan nodded, "I know, Are we good little sister?"

"Yeah, we're good, big brother." J.J. got up and hugged Morgan, who hugged her back happy that they had been able to mend things between them.


Okay, now that the team has made up, they can help Hotch and Emily.

Next chapter the teams plans to get Hotch and Emily together... Plus Hotch's thoughts on this mess.

As always let me know what you think! I could use a few ideas on Hotch, that man's thoughts are so hard to write.
