A Welcomed Surprise-Ch 3
Penelope had to go back to the BAU and talk to Hotch about getting an emergency leave until Mia was more settled, when she parked in the lot at work she got out and walked around to the passenger side. When she got Mia out she said, "I have some people that I want you to meet, people that are sooooo important to me and they are just gonna love you".
Mia put her hand in Penelopes and walked along side her, Penelope looked down and smiled when she saw Mia holding the bear tight to her chest, she remembered feeling the same way about her doll growing up. When they stepped off the elevator she saw the team coming out of the round table room and she said, "I need to talk to all of you but first I need to talk to you bossman".
Hotch said, "sure thing Garcia" as they headed toward his office, Derek smiled and said, "who's little girl is that with baby girl"?, JJ said, "not a clue but seeing that she's with Hotch something's up, somethings definitely up". They all stood there wondering what conversation was going on between their friends right now.
When Penelope sat down she picked Mia up and put her in her lap and said, "Mia, sweetie, this is my bossman and super super friend this is Aaron Hotchner but we all call him Hotch". Mia looked at him and smiled but still never said a word, Hotch said, "I have a little boy named Jack and he's almost 5, how old are you"?, she still wouldn't speak but she held up 3 fingers.
Penelope said, "the reason that I wanted to talk to you was I recently got some bad news, bad medical news", Hotch said, "what kind of bad medical news Garcia"?, Penelope said, "their is only a 15 to 20% chance that I can every conceive a child". Hotch said, "ohhhh Garcia I'm so sorry to hear that".
Penelope said, "thanks bossman but to get back to my story", Hotch grinned as she said, "I listened to a few good friends and went to an adoption agency a few weeks ago and then today I got a call from Anita, she's the owner of the agency and she said that they had a child that needed immediate placement".
Hotch said, "I take it that the little girl is the little angel in your lap"?, she nodded her head and said, "it is", Hotch said, "do you need some time off until you get everything situated with Mia"?, Penelope said, "how did you know that"?, he smiled and said, "profiler, remember"?, she laughed and said, "that I do bossman, that I do", they then spent the next few minutes filling out some papers and getting her emergency time off situated.
Hotch said, "are you ready to tell the others"?, she looked down at Mia and said, "are you ready to meet some more of mommas friends"?, the little girl smiled and nodded her head yes as she jumped down out of Penelopes lap. Penelope stood up and Mia put her hand in Penelopes as they turned around and headed out of the office.
Derek looked up when he saw Penelope and the little girl come walking through the door and he said, "alright sweetness, what's up and who is this adorable little girl"?, Penelope took a deep breath and said, "this is my daughter, this is Mia". Derek said, "d d daughter, did you say Mia is your daughter"?, she nodded her head and said, "I'll fill you guys in soon but right now guys this is Mia and Mia these are mommys bestest friends in the wholeeeee world.
Mia watched as Penelope said, "this is Emily, she's married to bossman", she then pointed to JJ and said, "this is my friend JJ and her husband Spencer Reid and they have a little boy and he's your age and his name is Henry". Mia smiled and hugged Penelopes leg as she said, "and this is a man that is like my father so I guess he'd be your grandpa this is Dave Rossi".
Dave squatted down in front of her and said, "hi honey", she peeped around Penelopes leg and smiled at Dave, Penelope said, "she's shy, she still hasn't spoken a word since I got her today". Reid said, "don't worry she will, she just has to feel comfortable and safe first", Penelope nodded her head and said, "that's what Anita said".
Penelope then pointed to Derek and said, "and this handsome hunk of chocolate is my best friend in the wholeeeee world this is Derek Morgan aka hotstuff". Derek said, "hi there princess", Mia looked up at him and smiled and it was only a matter of a few seconds before she threw her little arms around his neck and said, "Dewekkkkkk" causing Penelope and the others to smile.
