Just recently been made aware of this gem of a scene (I know, I know, and I call myself an M/G fan!) and thought I'd use it instead of the 'God Given Solace' scene...although that one's bound to be used eventually :)
Morgan: Hello?
Garcia, can you hear me?
Garcia:(with tears in her eyes)
We saw the explosion on TV.
Morgan:
Yeah I know, we lost the SWAT agent.
Garcia:
Oh, God.
Morgan:
Don't worry, don't think you're gonna get rid of me that
easy.
Garcia:(smiling through her tears)
Do you need anything?
Morgan:(laughs softly) I know
who to call if I do.
Later that night...
"Morgan?" She questioned softly as the phone was picked up.
"Baby Girl, what's wrong?" He questions, concern evident in his voice.
"Are you ok? Truly ok?" She asks, ignoring his question.
"Baby, I'm fine. Just a few scratches." He replies with feeling. "Are you ok sweetness?" He asks again, not liking the fragility in her voice.
"Yes handsome, I just...I thought...I-"
"You thought I'd been hurt, that you'd lost me?" He finished for her.
"Yeah." She said so softly that he almost missed it.
"I am here Pen, and I'm not going anywhere. Never." He said with feeling hoping to reassure her, he wasn't going anywhere.
"Good." She replied, her voice stronger and he was never more glad of her inner strength and occasional hard headed-ness than at that moment. She would hold it together, she would put up her wall for now. And when he got back she'd know he was truly alright, and then she could break down. But then it would be out of relief rather than fear.
"I'll see you when we get back Baby Girl, and there better be a hug with my name on it." He said, trying to inject a slight dose of their usual banter into the conversation, hoping to perk her up a little more.
"Oh, there will be...that and more if you play your cards right hot stuff." She replied with a smile, loving the way he could have her almost completely forgetting about what had happened earlier with his words alone and a well placed classic Morgan comment.
This one's just short...more soon :)
