"Feeling better?" Hotch asked when she entered the office the next morning.

"So much better." Roxanne responded.

"I'm glad." He replied. "I hear it's a nasty one going round this year."

"Yeah, very. I don't normally catch them." She agreed.

"Your lucky, if Jack gets it I almost always come down with it too."

"I hope Jack doesn't get it then."

"So do I." Hotch sighed, knowing it was almost certain that he would at some point, ep he seemed to come down with the stomach flu every year. "Could you keep an eye on Garcia today?" He asked.

"Sure, why?"

"She seemed tired on the phone. Just make sure she's not overworking herself."

"Oh sure. She's pregnant with twins though Hotch, she's bound to be tired."

"I know... I just don't want her to be too tired."

"Alright, I understand that." Roxanne agreed and headed up to Garcia's office. "Everything alright?" She asked, noticing that Penelope looked unusually tired.

"Yeah. The twins just kept me up with their kicking all night."

"Oh dear, Lottie did that." Roxy responded sympathetically. "Do you fancy a hot chocolate? It might make you feel better." She suggested.

"That would be great Rox." She replied "thanks"

Roxanne went downstairs and picked up one of Penelope's favourite mugs to make her hot chocolate in. She was glad she'd taken some into the office the other day for moments like this when people really needed it. She made it just the way Penelope liked then brought it back up to her. "Hot chocolate is served."

"Thanks Rox. You really are the best. You know that." She told her. There were plenty of other people on the team who wouldn't think to make her a hot chocolate when she was tired.

"Well that's what they call me." She responded jokily.

"I can see why." She replied, sipping at her drink. "This is so good."

"Feeling better yet?" She asked.

"Yes, so much better." She replied happily. "Can we go shopping again soon? My clothes are getting tight again." She asked.

"Of course we can!" She answered excitedly.

"Great! We can do Christmas presents at the same time then." She replied happily. "You taking part in the BAU secret Santa this year?" She asked, wanting to get it arranged for the next day.

"You bet!" She responded.

"Great! That's everyone!" She exclaimed excitedly, accidentally wetting herself. "Oh god."

Roxanne tried not to laugh, composing herself before reassuring her friend. "It's alright, just go and get changed and no one will know."

"I don't have spare panties on me."

"Okay, just take off the wet ones and I'll go over to your apartment to get you a clean pair." She offered, giving her a hug.

"Alright. Just hurry please. And get something for me to clean my chair off with."

"Of course Pen. I'll be 20 minutes." She replied, before Penelope handed her the keys and she went over to her place.

"God you saviour!" She exclaimed once Roxanne had come back.

"It's alright. How about you change and I clean off your seat." She suggested. Wanting to make things easier for Penelope.

"Thanks. Your such a lovely person." She complemented before going to get herself changed.

While she was changing she heard someone throwing up in the loo next to her, it sounded like JJ. "Jayje?" She asked sympathetically.

"Pen. I have the stomach flu." She groaned once she'd finished throwing up.

"Oh dear my sweet pee!" She exclaimed, waiting for her to come out of the cubicle.

"Henry had it yesterday." She replied, splashing her face with water hoping the rest of the team wouldn't notice she was sick.

"Oh dear. Do you need a lift home?" She offered, although knowing she would want to stay at work.

"No. Pen I'll be okay until the end of the day." She replied, clutching her stomach briefly and putting her hand over her mouth before going into a cubicle to vomit again.

Penelope held her hair back and sighed. "No jayje, look once your done throwing up I'm going to take you home." She said, caring about her friend. "Rox will be alright running things for a while. It'll actually be good to see how she copes without me to help."

"Alright. Fine." She agreed. "I hate the stomach flu." She grumbled.

"I know. I know." She rubbed JJ's back with the other hand until she had done and then helped her off the floor and to the car.

"Jayje alright?" Roxanne asked once Penelope had come back.

"Yeah she will be. How have you been in here on your own?"

"been alright actually."

"Good. Your a fast learner." She complemented.

"Thanks. I've been told that a lot." She responded smiling.

"Because your smart, your like a mini Reid." She exaggerated, also smiling.

"Not quite like a mini Reid Pen!" She exclaimed, laughing. "But yes I did graduate top of my class at Harvard and I do have a PhD in criminology." She continued, boasting in a lighthearted way knowing Penelope would also see it as lighthearted.

Penelope laughed, although worried she might wet herself again and sighed with relief when she didn't. "Wow Rox. Wow! A Reid in progress." She had to make sure she didn't laugh, not sure she'd get away with not peeing herself for a second time.

"Yes well. I am honoured Pen. I am actually planning on doing a PhD in forensic psychology at some point. It's on my bucket list."

"Ah I see. Is that part of your get more PhD's than Reid masterplan?" She asked.

"oh of course it is." Roxanne joked. "Then I'll do one in law and finally one in politics."

Penelope laughed again. "You really are a mini Reid."

"No pen, I'm a Reid in progress." She repeated what Penelope had said earlier.

Penelope laughed, and gave her friend a hug. "Your going to be great while I'm on maternity leave."

"Oh I really hope so." She replied, noticing Penelope wince. "Twins okay?" She asked.

"I think so. They've been kicking enough. That just felt a bit odd."

"Oh okay. Well your not in labour are you?" She asked, knowing it was way too early.

"No. I think it was just a Braxton hicks. They're normal right?"

"Yes Pen. They're normal. I got them with Lottie all the time." She reassured. "On severely occasions I thought I was actually in labour so Tyler had to take me to the hospital at all the odd hours of the night."

"Yet when you were in labour you thought it was just Braxton hicks." Garcia continued, remembering that day very clearly.

"Yeah. Don't make that mistake Pen. I ended up having her here, in the bathroom because there was no way I was making it any further without her coming out of me. "

Penelope laughed, remembering having to help her friend deliver her first child in the bathroom. "Yeah I won't. I still feel for you... Especially when I had to get Reids help."

"Yeah Pen. That is one place Reid does not need to see ever again." She responded, still finding it embarrassing that he had seen her lady parts.
