One Year Later….

Penelope got up from her office chair to stretch her back. She placed her hand on her stomach as the baby kicked. She was eight months pregnant and was supposed to be on bed rest, but the team had really needed her and although Hotch had told her to work from home she had better equipment in her office. Now the case was almost over and her back was starting to ache from sitting up straight for so long.

So she decided to walk down the hall and get something to eat for her and jr.. As she reached out to open the door she smiled at the sight of her left hand. It'd been a year, but her wedding ring still made her smile uncontrollably. She walked down the hall smiling at the other agents but had to stop once in awhile because of back pains.

When she reached the bullpen she had to sit down because of a sudden spasm. She took a breath and felt the baby moving under her hand. A second later her eyes popped upon when she realized that her water just broke.

"Uh oh." She whispered. "You couldn't just wait a couple more days could you?" Garcia said looking down at her stomach.

She tried to stand, but found she was going to need help. So she waved over a junior agent who was going through a file.

"Yes ma'am?" He asked as he approached.

"I need you to help me up and drive me to the hospital." She said quickly as another contraction made her take a sharp breath.

"Why…" The agent began.

"Because I'm having a baby and if I don't get to the hospital you can delver it right here!" She said gritting her teeth and trying not to yell.

"Um right." The young agent said nervously.

He took her arm and helped her up then helped her to the elevator as the contractions kept coming.

As a nurse pushed Penelope's wheelchair down the hall another one took instructions from her about who to call. After they got her set up in a hospital bed the nurse went back to the front desk and dialed the number Penelope had given her.

"Hello?" Morgan asked as he answered his phone.

"Is this Mr. Morgan?" an unfamiliar voice asked.

"Yes, who is this?" He asked getting a questioning look from Rossi who was sitting next to him.

"It's about your wife, Mrs. Morgan, she's…"

"Penelope? What's wrong?" He said getting extremely worried, which must of shown because now the whole team was watching him.

"She's fine Mr. Morgan; it's just that she's gone into labor and…"

"What? I'll be right there!" Morgan said hurriedly as he jumped up and looked over at Hotch.

"I got to go. Penelope's in labor. I got to…" He said as he got his bag.

"Morgan, just go." Hotch said with an amused smile as he watched the normally composed agent frantically looking for his things.

"Thanks Hotch." Morgan said as he rushed out.

"Tell Penelope we'll be there as soon as we can." JJ yelled after him.

The others watched amused as he hurried out with a smile on his face.

"Let's finish this up so we can go see jr. too." Emily said once he was out of sight.

Morgan took and when it landed he rushed over to the hospital. He was nervous, worried, and happy all at the same time and just couldn't seem to move fast enough.

When he finally reached the hospital a nurse showed him to Penelope's room before leaving. Morgan walked over to his baby girl and took her hand in both of his.

"You're here." Penelope said with a smile.

"Of course I am. I wasn't about to let you do this all by yourself." He said as he brushed some stray hair out of her face. "I love you princess."

Penelope opened her mouth to reply, but just then another contraction hit and instead she screamed and cut off circulation to Derek's hand.

Five and a half hours later the team was sitting in the waiting room when a nurse came toward them.

"Excuse me Agent Hotchner?" She asked.

"Yes." Hotch replied as he stood up and walked forward.

"Mr. and Mrs. Morgan have asked that I bring you and the others to see them." She said with a smile before leading them down the hall.

When they entered Penelope's room they found her sitting up with a small bundle in her arms and Morgan sitting on the edge of Penelope's bed with one hand in her hair as he stared down lovingly at the little bundle.

Before either of them realized they had company JJ pulled out a camera and took a picture. Morgan looked up and smiled before waving them over.

"How are you Penelope?" Rossi asked as they walked closer.

"I'm absolutely perfect." She said with a smile that lit up her face. "Are you guys done with the case already?"

"Yeah, we only had a little paperwork left, so we hurried up and came home as soon as possible." Emily said as she peered down and smiled at the little baby in Penelope's arms.

"Have you chosen a name yet?" Hotch asked.

"Yep." Morgan answered with a smile.

"Guys, meet William Kai Morgan." Penelope said as she moved the little blue blanket so everyone could see the small tan baby with golden brown hair and brown eyes.

"Interesting name." Rossi said.

"Kai means fire." Morgan replied.

"And William means determined protector." Reid added.

Morgan laughed slightly then leaned down to whisper in Penelope's ear before kissing her. When he stood up he gently took William and walked around the bed. He walked up to Reid and held out his son.

"You want to hold him Reid?" Morgan asked making Reid's head pop up from were he was smiling down at the baby.

"What?" Reid asked nervously. "I don't think…"

"Reid sweetie, just hold your godson." Penelope said from the bed.

Reid looked over at Penelope then carefully took his godson from Derek. The other agents watched silently as he began to rock the little baby and talk to him quietly.

"I knew it, he's a natural." Penelope said tiredly as the last few hours began to catch up with her.

"Baby girl, why don't you try to get some sleep?" Morgan said as he pushed some hair behind her ear.

"But…" She began.

"Morgan's right, you need to rest." Hotch said before she could continue.

"Alright fine, but first let me take a picture of jr. with his extended family." She said and reached for JJ's camera.

"Come on Reid let his godmother hold him some." Morgan said as he took his son and handed him to JJ.

"It's my turn next right?" Emily said as JJ swayed with her godson.

"Everyone will get a turn." Morgan said with an amused smile.

Hotch handed Penelope the camera then went to stand with Rossi, Reid, JJ, Emily, and Morgan jr.

When the picture was taken JJ took William over to his mother who kissed his head and handed him to Emily. Morgan sat next to Penelope and ran his hand through her hair as she began to fall asleep.

"I love you Penelope." He whispered in her ear.

"I love you too Derek." She said quietly as her eyes drifted shut.

Morgan looked around at his team as they played with his son and then looked back down at his goddess. He didn't like to think what might have happened if he hadn't went to her house a year ago, but he knew he was the luckiest guy on the planet.
