Prentiss

4 days passed and we were allowed to take Priya home. I buckled her into the new baby seat Morgan had bought for my car and he helped Ainsley. "Hey!" I heard JJ call to me. I turned and saw her standing by Will's car. "Call when you want company."

I smiled and nodded. The whole team had their cars parked near mine unintentionally.

"Good luck with your sleep and food intake!" Garcia called to us with a smirk. She was riding with Hotch. Rossi had his own car and Reid had brought his this morning so he and Sarah were going in his.

"Thanks!" I laughed. I closed the back car door where Priya was as Morgan started the car. I stepped into the passenger seat and looked over my shoulder at Ainsley. "Are you excited?" I asked her.

She nodded with a big smile. She loved Priya so much already; it was so adorable to see them together. "Mummy? Why were you and daddy kissing?" She asked me after a moments silence passed.

I looked at Morgan and he glanced at me, "Are we going to tell her or do we wait?" He asked.

"I don't know. What do you want to do?"

"I guess we tell her." He shrugged his shoulders. I nodded and looked back at her over my shoulder.

"JJ said people only kiss when they love each other."

I cleared my throat quietly, "Do you remember a while ago when I told you that not everything ends like fairy tales?" She nodded, "And I said that daddy and I would never be together like JJ and Will or Reid and Sarah?" She nodded again, "Well I was wrong."

She looked at me with confused eyes, "What?"

"Daddy and I are together."

Her eyes lit up, "Like JJ and Will?"

"Yeah." I nodded with a smile. She looked happy now. She had a smile across her lips and she looked out the window, kicking her feet. I looked at Morgan and he was watching her through the rear-view mirror with his own smile. I sat and looked at his profile as he drove, studying everything I loved about it, which was all of it.

"Why are you staring at me?" He asked me quietly after a while.

"Thank you."

"For what?"

"For staying." I said quietly as I leant over and kissed his cheek.

I lay down on the bed, my head in my pillow. It had been a rough first night and every time Priya woke, so did Ainsley and she would cry because she was tired and it was just insane. I heard Morgan's footsteps walk in and felt his weight drop beside me. His hand caressed my hair and I turned my head to the side to look at him. He kissed behind my ear and looked at my eyes. I smiled, "Appreciate this time to sleep." I said quietly.

He smiled and threw the blanket over me. I closed my eyes and my hand found his. I threaded my fingers through his and dropped them to the bed. We lay in silence for a while and I had almost fallen asleep before I heard her cries again. I groaned and removed my hand from his. He sighed and sat up. Sarah and Reid had stayed at his place last night and picked Ainsley up this morning to take her out.

"I'm going to express milk so that throughout the night, I don't have to get up every time to feed her; you can feed her from a bottle."

"No, I can't do that."

"Why not?" I asked as I walked out towards our crying child.

"She's not even hungry, she just ate. But a bottle is different to a boob."

"Oh, you would know." I teased as I walked into Sarah's room where she told me I could put Priya for the first night or two. I'd move her to my room soon; we just needed some sleep and a space to talk last night without disturbing her. I would have put her with Ainsley, but I didn't want Ainsley to have to wake every time Priya did, although she did anyway.

He laughed at me and stood in the doorway, watching as I lifted Priya from her bassinet and hushed her. I knew she wasn't hungry so I checked her diaper. "I think she was just lonely." I said quietly as she calmed in my arms. It didn't seem like anything was wrong. She started to stir so I sung to her. It always worked with Ainsley and it worked now. I lay her down while I sung softly and stood over her, tracing my fingers down her arms softly in a soothing motion until her eyes fell closed. I kept singing to her for a short while longer until I knew she was asleep and I stopped. I walked back to Morgan and closed the door over, leaving it ajar.

"You just sung in front of me," He smirked as we sat down in the living room, "You used to hate singing in front of people."

"I still do," I nodded, "I was tempted to ask you to leave."

"I don't know why; you have an amazing voice."

I shook my head and looked into his eyes with a small smile.

"What are you thinking about?" He looked back at me.

"Do you ever wonder where we'd be if I never got pregnant? If we didn't have Ainsley and we didn't have Priya, would I have lived the same way I did in London? Would I have ever come back? What if I never left? It would all be totally different."

"Yeah, it would," He agreed quietly, "But as a result of how it all turned out, we have two beautiful daughters and I am completely in love with you." His voice got quieter. He bowed his head and placed a soft kiss on my lips. I kissed him back a few times.

I pulled back momentarily, "I like how things turned out," I whispered. Another kiss, "I love you."

"Back at you." He breathed between kisses. His hands found my hips and he guided me back a bit before lying me back on the couch and kissing me from above. "I hate that you just gave birth." He said quietly after a few more minutes.

"Me too." I laughed.

Most mothers would want some time alone with just their partner and child or children, but I guess I wasn't like most mothers. When I had Ainsley, I didn't have anyone to visit me so I didn't notice how lonely I was but I did this time. The team had taken this week off because of my labour and they needed a break from the job. It was Friday now, only the third day of being home from hospital and even though Morgan was here and Sarah and Reid came by a few times, I still felt lonely. I missed my team as a whole.

Morgan's mother and sisters had arrived yesterday evening and Ainsley was so excited to see them. They met both her and Priya and I don't think they held anything against me for hiding it from Morgan and them. I asked him later that night and he assured me that he talked to them and they understood my reasoning. Personally, now that I thought about it, "I was scared" was not a very good reason for not telling him that someone of his own bloodline existed but it was the only reason I had. An excuse, really.

"Hey, can I invite the team over?" I asked Morgan as he walked into my room after his shower. A towel was wrapped around his bottom half and his torso was still glistening from the water droplets. It was extremely attractive and I had to fight myself to look at his face instead of his body.

"Don't you want a little time alone with Priya first?" He asked.

I gave him a guilty look, "I miss them."

He smiled, "You can if you want. It doesn't bother me."

"Okay, thanks." I lifted my phone and started texting. I was lying on the bed as he got changed and it was hard for me to keep my eyes and concentration on the text and not him. He smirked at me once he was changed and walked over as I bit my lip. He kissed me teasingly.

"Don't you just wish?" He winked.

"Don't be mean." I pouted.

He laughed and kissed me once more as he slid his hand down from the side of my face to my thigh. I hit him, "Stop teasing me!" He laughed again. I laughed with him for a short while before we calmed down.

"So what am I supposed to tell people?"

"What?"

"About us," He clarified, "I mean, mum, Sarah and Desiree asked me last night if we were dating or not. I didn't really know what to tell them."

"You can tell your family and whoever else what you want to tell them." I shrugged my shoulders.

"So…I can say that we're dating?"

I smiled, "Yeah. Was that not clear to you before?"

"Well I didn't know what you were thinking or where you were standing at the moment."

"Well yes Morgan, you can tell people we're dating." I nodded.

"Okay cool." He smiled and kissed me again, this time it was quick and not mischievous. I sat up as I heard Priya wake and start to cry. A second later, I heard Desiree and Sarah, Morgan's Sarah, not my Sarah, groan at the sound that must have woken them.

I got up quickly and walked to the other side of my room where she screamed from. I lifted her up and hushed her, calming her down. It worked quicker when I started to sing and Morgan smiled as he listened before walking out of the room momentarily. I heard him apologise to his sisters and mother and he came back with a hand towel. "Thanks." I took it from him and put it over my shoulder before unclipping the nursing bra and waiting for her to latch on.

My phone sounded and he checked it for me, "The team wants to know what time to be here."

"You decide. I don't know when your mum and sisters will be up and wanting to communicate."

He texted on my phone before putting it back down, "It's going to get confusing with two Sarah's, don't you think?"

"Yes, I do. We have Sarah and we have Reid's Sarah. There you go."

"You call Sarah "Sar" sometimes, right? My Sarah hates that, so we can call one Sarah and one Sar?" He suggested.

I laughed to myself, ""My Sarah", that's so cute."

"Shut up." He smiled and looked down.

The day with the team and Morgan's family went quickly and we resorted to having dinner here too and it turned into a games night. We played board games and laughed a lot. I was having a great night and I hadn't felt this good in so long. I wasn't even drinking, considering I was breastfeeding.

We were playing Monopoly in teams. Morgan and his mother and sisters on one team, JJ, Will and I on another, Hotch, Garcia and Rossi on another and Reid and Sarah on their own. Ainsley was staying up late and sitting by Reid, colouring in and humming to herself lightly. It was a joyful sound for me. She hummed when she was happy and she was humming the song I always sang to her. I was smiling at her across the table as the others laughed and Garcia and Morgan argued. Her eyes were heavy but she fought to stay awake.

I stood up and JJ smiled at me as I did. I walked around the table and crouched to her, "Hey princess, come on, bedtime." She dropped her pencil as her eyes drooped again and I stood up, lifting her with me. "I'll be back." I said to JJ as I walked past her and she looked at me again.

I lay Ainsley down in her bed and pulled her blankets over her, tucking her in. I brushed her hair behind her ear, out of her face and kissed her forehead, "Sweet dreams my little princess." I whispered.

"I love you mummy."

I smiled, "I love you too. Get some sleep." I stood and walked back out, closing the door shut behind me. I closed the door to the hallway over but left it ajar in case Priya woke up. I returned to JJ's side just in time for our turn. We had to discuss what we were going to do so we did this for a few seconds before JJ groaned.

"Thank the lord I didn't study business." She said, leaning back onto her hands and looking up as Will and I whispered from either side of her.

"But this would help Hotch, Rossi and Garcia." I said quietly to him.

"Do it!" Garcia encouraged.

"But if we don't do it then they'll trade with Reid and Sarah and they'll win." Will countered.

"Alright, buy it then." He was probably right, and I knew Garcia, Hotch and Rossi and Morgan and his family were both working with us to stop Reid from winning yet another game.

"So has your mum come to see Priya yet? Has she even seen Ainsley?" JJ asked me once our turn was over. They all looked at me and waited for an answer. I guess they all wanted to ask the same question.

"She has met Ainsley on several occasions," I nodded, "She wasn't exactly thrilled that I had a child but she was actually kind of nice to her. She was better with her than she was with me."

"And is she coming to see Pre?" Sarah asked that again, noting how I had avoided that part.

"Well, the ambassador was supposed to come yesterday, but she called me and said she couldn't make it until next week. She called me again this morning and said she can't make next week, she'll be here the next. I'm expecting a weekly call to postpone."

The game was longer than it should have been. Reid and Sarah won, obviously. We sat around and talked afterwards for a while before the team decided it was time to go home. It was nights like these that really made my life so enjoyable; that and my children.
