Instant Family-Ch 40

Epilogue- 7 Months Later

Penelope squeezes Dereks hand and says, "ohhhhhhhhhh I can't do this, I can't do this", he brings her hand to his lips and kisses it and says, "yes you can baby girl". She blew out a deep breath and said, "how much longer, how much longer"?, the doctor said, "you are almost fully dilated so it won't be much longer now Penelope".

Reid was chasing Megan around the waiting room as she squealed, he picked her up and said, "I got you monkeyyyyy", she squealed as he wrapped his arms around her. JJ laughed and snapped a few pictures, Penelope had surprised them by going into labor during her baby shower, Sarah and Desiree stayed back at Derek and Penelopes so that Henry and Jack could play and watch movies while they all waited news on the arrival of their newest member.

Fran looked down at her watch and said, "the poor thing, she's been in labor for 10 hours now, she must be exhausted", Dave kissed her gently on the cheek and said, "you are just anxious to hold that grandbaby aren't you"?, she laughed and said, "you know me to well Mr. Rossi". He grinned and said, "that is true Bella,
that is true".

Alexis looked up at Reid and said, "mommaaaaaa", Reid said, "momma is back there getting ready to have the baby"?, she turned her head to the side and looked at him and said, "bee beeeeee"?, he tapped the end of her nose and said, "that's right baby". JJ laughed and said, "I can't believe that she went into labor in the middle of her shower".

Emily said, "I've learned to expect the unexpected in this family", Hotch laughed and said, "true dat", Reid laughed and said, "you did not just say true dat did you"?, he nodded his head and said, "true dat homey". Emily threw back her head and said, "who are you and what have you done to my husband"?, he looked at her and said, "I want to be the cool uncle".

Emily said, "awwwwww, you are cool honey it's just a different type of cool", he looked at her and said, "geeeeee thanks Em", she kissed his cheek and said, "he or she is gonna love you just like Megan and Henry do". He sighed and said, "do you really think so"?, she said, "I know so", he intertwined their fingers as they sat there waiting for information about Penelope and the baby.

Dave leaned in and said, "I'm glad that everything worked out and Megan was able to get the money that Shawn was suppose to get", Hotch said, "yeah me to and with Derek and Penelope as her parents she will be level headed so when she reaches the age of 21 she will be able to handle the responsibility". Dave nodded his head in agreement.

Derek wiped her forehead and said, "you are doing so good goddess", the doctor said, "you are doing a great job Penelope and we are one push away from welcoming your little one into the world". On the next contraction she grabbed Dereks hand and squeezed and a few seconds later the room was filled with the sound of their baby crying.

The doctor looked at Derek and said, "daddy would you like to cut the cord"?, he nodded his head happily and said, "I definitely would", she said, "just cut between the two clamps". After cutting the cord the doctor said, "ohhhhhh lookey at you, you are just adorable", Penelope said, "is everything okay, is the baby okay"?, the doctor wrapped the baby into a towel and said, "he's perfect".

Penelope looked at Derek and said, "he's perfect, we have a son hotstuff", Derek said, "he's beautiful just like his momma", she kissed the babies little forehead and said, "he's a mini hotstuff, he looks just like you". Derek kissed her gently on the lips and said, "I love you", she said, "I love you to", the doctor said,
"we need to take him and get him cleaned up and then we will be moving you to your room so that your family can see you both".

Derek said, "thank you for everything doctor", she said, "anytime and congratulations he's gorgeous", she then finished sewing Penelope up and said, "we will be moving you to your room in a few minutes". She looked at Penelope and said, "are you feeling alright"?, she said, "tired and sore but amazing, how is our little man"?, she laughed said, "he's fine, they are weighing and mearusring him right now so by the time we get you back to your room he will be ready to join you".

After the doctor left Derek looked down at Penelope and said, "we need to decide on a name", she said, "welllllll I have an idea on that", he said, "and what would your idea be"?, he leaned down and she whispered a name into his ear. He smiled and said, "that's perfect, a strong name for him", she noded her head yes as they readied to move her.

Derek said, "I'll go get the rest of our family and meet you in your room", she waved and said, "give Megan a kiss for me", he said, "I will baby" as he walked out of the room. when Megan looked up and saw Derek coming toward them she ran across the floor squealing, "daddyyyyyyyyyyyyyy". He picked her up and said, "hi princess, are you ready to go see momma"?, she nodded her head and said, "uh huhhhhh".

Fran said, "wellllll"?, he said, "both Penelope and our son are fine", Fran hugged him and said, "congratulations baby boy", he said, "thanks momma, why don't we go ahead and head up to her room and then you can meet the newest member of our family. As they headed toward the elevator they tried several times to get Derek to tell them the name and he told them that Penelope was going to be telling the name.

When they walked into Penelopes room she was holding the baby and Megan said, "mommaaaaaaaaaaaa", Penelope smiled and said, "hi baby girl", Derek carried her over and held her up over the baby. She said, "awwwwwwww", Derek said, "that's your baby brother". she said, "awwwww beeeee beeeee", Penelope said, "everybody I want to introduce to you James Derek Morgan".

Fran wiped her eyes and said, "a strong name for a strong little boy", Penelope said, "would you like to hold your grandson"?, she said, "of course I would" and as Penelope put the baby into her arms she said, "hello James Derek Morgan I'm your nana Fran and I am going to spoil you rotten". Everybody gathered closer and Reid said, "he's gorgeous".

As Penelope watched her family pass their newest addition around she laid her head on Dereks shoulder and closed her eyes and it didn't take long for her to drift off to sleep. Derek kissed the top of her head and whispered, "I love you baby girl", Megan kissed her mommy on the cheek and said, "nigh nigh" before running over to Hotch and saying, "uppppp upppppp".

As Derek looked around the room he realized that right here with him was everything he would ever need, his family
