Chapter 7- The Delivery
Back at the hospital Garcia's contractions had become closer together, and were now every one and a half to two minutes. It had only been about thirty minutes since Morgan had talked to Reid and the rest of the team. Since then Garcia had tried to continue her search for victims and possible unsubs on Twilight fan sites. So far she hadn't made much progress with her contractions being so close together. Morgan had actually succeeded in persuading her to hold off on the research at least until after she delivered. At that moment the nurse came in and said, "Alright Penelope let's check and see if you've dilated anymore since the last time I checked." Nodding in response Garcia separated her legs into the position that she had assumed so many times since she went into labor five hours ago. With a small smile on her face the nurse said, "Well Penelope you are fully dilated and ready to deliver. I'm going to call the OB doctor that's on duty, and then I will come and get you ready to deliver." Still a little amazed at what the nurse had said Garcia just nodded. As the nurse left Morgan looked at Garcia and saw that her expression had changed like lightning from amazement to nervousness. Seeing this he grabbed her hand and squeezed it as he said, "Hey, what's wrong honey? There's no need to be nervous, you will do great. It won't be long now and then we'll be a family." Squeezing his hand in return Garcia said, "I know I was just shocked to hear that it's finally time to deliver. I guess my nerves just got the best of me." Pulling her hand that was intertwined with his to his face; Morgan kissed it and said, "Everything will be fine like I said. I will be here right beside you, coaching and giving you support the whole time." With a smile on her face Garcia said, "I love you Derek you know that?" Returning the smile Morgan said, "Yeah I know that and I love you too." That said he leaned in and kissed her on the head again. At that moment the nurse walked back into the room followed closely by a second nurse who was carrying something in her arms. Just before they reached the bed the second nurse gave the first nurse one of the objects that she was holding, which happened to be a metal rod with a type of cup in a slanted position on the top. At the bed the nurses went to either sides of the bed and attached the rods to the base of the bed. The nurse looked to Garcia, who had a curious expression on her face, and said, "These are leg supporters, they will hold your legs up in the correct position as you deliver." Giving a small nod Garcia said, "…I've just never seen them before. They must really help with deliveries." Returning the nod the nurse replied, "They make the delivery a little easier for the nurses. It makes it so we have our hands free and we can help you or the doctor during the delivery." Then getting on with her current job the nurse glanced done at Garcia's legs for a split second as she said, "we need to get your legs into position so you will be ready to go when the doctor gets here." In response to what the nurse had asked Garcia lifted her legs up one at a time into place in the cups on top of the supports. At that moment just as Garcia had gotten herself situated a man in blue scrubs and a white medical jacket walked in. The man was the same height as Derek and had short light brown hair. Seeing that Garcia was fully prepped the man said, "Penelope, I'm Dr. Collens. I'm going to be your doctor while you are here. Now I have been informed that you are fully dilated and are ready to deliver, so let's get this baby delivered." That said Dr. Collens removed his medical jacket and acquired a pair of latex gloves in its place as he sat on a stool at the end of the bed. Ducking down he gave Garcia one last check, and sticking his head up once again he said, "Well I can see the head. Now Penelope either on your next contraction or if you feel the urge I want you to start pushing." Garcia gave a quick nod at the instructions that he had given her. A minute later Garcia experienced another contraction, and on Dr. Collens instructions she immediately began to push. As Garcia pushed she kept Morgan's hand within hers for support. After ten minutes of pushing, Garcia's forehead and hair were drenched with sweat. The from over the noise of Garcia's pushing, Dr. Collens revealed, "The head is almost out. Just a few more pushes and it will be completely out." Hearing this Morgan leaned down to Garcia's ear and said, "Hear that baby? Not much longer now." With that Morgan took his free hand and brushed Garcia's damp hair away from her face. While this was happening Garcia continued to push. Three minutes later after more intense pushing Dr. Collens said, "The head is completely out…You are doing great Penelope, keep going." Five minutes later there came the sound of a newborn baby's cry. From over the loud cries Dr. Collens exclaimed, "It's a girl." With identical smiles of joy Morgan and Garcia held each other's hands and leaned their heads together. Turning to Morgan, Dr. Collens asked, "Dad would you like to cut the cord?" Without hesitation Morgan retrieved the scissors that Dr. Collens had extended to him. Scissors in hand, Morgan walked over next to Dr. Collens and cut between the two clamps as the doctor instructed him to do. Returning to Garcia's side they could hear a suctioning noise blended with the baby's steady cries at the end of the bed as Dr. Collens cleared the baby's air ways. The air ways cleared, Dr. Collens handed the baby over to one of the nurses who went to weigh and measure her. Turning back to Garcia Dr. Collens said, "Alright Penelope, we are now going to deliver the after birth. Now I am going to pull on the cord, so you may feel some discomfort in your stomach." Garcia nodded in response as Dr. Collens started to tug. Feeling the placenta dislodge as he pulled, Dr. Collens said, "Ok Penelope I need you to push a little to deliver the placenta." Garcia immediately complied, and after a couple of pushes the placenta was delivered. At that moment the nurse came over to the bed holding their baby girl tightly wrapped in a pink and white blanket. As the nurse come closer Morgan and Garcia heard Dr. Collens stand to leave and say, "You did really well. Congratulations on your baby girl." Reaching Garcia the nurse gently placed the baby in Garcia's arms. Having heard the baby cry and now holding her in her arms Garcia immediately began to cry herself. Looking over to Morgan Garcia saw that he had an even bigger smile on his face than before. Seeing this Garcia smiled back and said, "I can't believe it. She's finally here. She is such a beautiful baby." Looking at both the baby and Garcia Morgan replied, "Yeah she is, just like her momma. I am the happiest man in the world. I love you so much Penelope Garcia-Morgan." "I love you too Derek Morgan," replied Garcia. That said Morgan leaned in and kissed Garcia on her lips and again on her head. Looking down at their little bundle of joy Morgan asked, "So what do we name her?" Glancing at Morgan for a split second Garcia said, "How about Allison Elizabeth?" After thinking about it Morgan replied, "Allison Elizabeth Morgan, I love it." Turning to look at the baby Morgan cooed, "Hey Allison, you are the cutest baby I have ever seen." Looking back to Morgan as he adored their daughter Garcia asked, "You want to hold her, Daddy?" Morgan smiled and nodded as he replied, "Oh yeah." Baby in his arms Morgan started to rock her back and forth. Then looking to Garcia Morgan asked, "So do you want to inform the rest of the guys that we have a new female member on the team, or do you want to wait and do it all later when they come to visit?" Watching Morgan with Allison Garcia could see that he was bursting at the seams with joy. Seeing this she knew that he would have a hard time keeping quiet when he talked to the others. With that in mind Garcia said, "You can call them now and give them the news. They need to hear some good news while they are working on this case." At that moment the nurse returned and said, "Sorry to interrupt but I have to take her to the nursery so she can get her shots and a full check up." Understanding what was needed Morgan immediately placed Allison into the nurse's arms. As she placed Allison into the bed the nurse turned to them and asked, "Have you given her a name yet? I can place it on the birth certificate as well as on yours and hers bracelet, and on the cradle too." Looking at her baby lying in the bed Garcia replied, "We decided to name her Allison Elizabeth Morgan." Writing the name on a sheet attached to her clipboard, the nurse nodded. When she was done she said, "Someone will bring her back once everything is completed." Garcia nodded in response, and took one last look of her baby girl as the nurse wheeled her out of the room. Taking a calming breath Garcia turned to Morgan and said, "Pass me my computer. I might as well look for the Twilight fan sites to keep myself busy."Pushing the table with Garcia's laptop in front of her Morgan settled into the chair next to the bed. Grabbing the phone from the side table Morgan said, "I'm going to call the rest of the team and tell them the good news and see if they have made any leads on the case." Garcia gave a small smirk as she said, "By that time I shall have found a Twilight fan site and the owner of the site as they have requested." With a small laugh Morgan dialed Reid's cell number. After two rings he heard,
"Reid"
"Reid, its Morgan"
"Hey Morgan, let me put you on speaker phone so everyone else can hear."
"Ok go ahead."
Before he could say a thing Morgan heard someone in the back ground ask,
"Did Garcia find the website owner?"
Knowing who had asked the question Morgan grinned and replied,
"No, but she is working on it now. She was kind of busy doing something else a little while ago."
Not able to keep the news within him Morgan blurted,
"We have a new junior member on the team…Garcia had the baby!"
"Boy or girl?"
"Girl, we named her Allison Elizabeth Morgan. I'm a daddy. I can't believe it."
"Congratulations. We'll come and see you guys after the case is solved."
Before he could respond he heard Garcia say, "Hey let me talk to them. I found something on the Twilight fan site search."
Hearing this Morgan said,
"Guys, I'm going to put Garcia on. She says she's found something dealing with the Twilight fan website."
Handing the phone to Garcia she immediately began,
"Hey my people I have found the answer to your Twilight fan site question. Jacob Bliley created a website devoted to the Twilight books and movies for the fans. Along with that he also had a Twilight character Look-A-Like Contest on his website complete with photos and personal information. Now what is strange is that he added information on the case to his website, and his information seems to be very personal. And some information sounds like the kind that would be known to the killer himself."
"That's great Garcia. Do you have an address for him?"
"Yeah he lives in a house on the lonely outskirts of town right next to the Quilette reservation."
"Great Garcia we'll check that out straight away. Now Garcia we searched the lists of recently graduated students from Forks High School, and there is one more name that caught our eyes. Can you look up anything on a student named Isabella Tyler?"
"Wait…Isabella Tyler? She was on the character Look-A-Like Contest, she really resembled Bella Swan. With her last name being Tyler, wouldn't that mean that she's chief Tyler's daughter?"
"That's what we are assuming but we need you to make sure."
"Ok just give me a second."
Garcia immediately began to zing her fingers over the keys on the keyboard. After a few minutes Garcia said,
"Isabella Tyler graduated from Forks High School the same year as the other victims, works part time at the same sporting goods store as Mike Edenson, and her father is indeed Chief Tyler."
From the other end of the line Garcia could distinguish JJ's voice as she said,
"Oh my God she is the unsub's next victim. Kill Bella Swan."
"Thanks Garcia, we'll get the Tyler's address from Chief Tyler when we inform him of what we have found. You enjoy your time bonding with your new addition. We'll see you later."
"You got it."
Right as she hung up the phone the nurse returned pushing baby Allison in her crib in front of her. Stopping the crib next to the bed the nurse immediately placed Allison back into Garcia's arms where she belonged. For the rest of the evening Garcia and Morgan took turns holding and fondling over Allison…
