Epilogue- Final
The DJ looked at Rossi and the 'Safety Dance' started to play. Instantly, Sonia's head popped up and she stopped eating.
"Spence…"
"Let's go!" Reid said helping her up. All the couples headed out to floor and the kids followed. Sonia led a subdued version of the 'Safety Dance' because of her pregnancy, but the kids were more than energetic enough.
Morgan spun Penelope around when he noticed that Rossi and his mom were watching from a very safe distance away. Fran had a sneaky look on her face and Rossi was definitely laughing manically.
"Guys", Morgan said.
Hotch looked at Morgan. "What's up?"
"Something is about to happen, I can feel it", Morgan said. As soon as the words were out of his mouth, the sprinkler above them went off. The isolate part of the floor where they were was sprayed with icy cold water. The kids started shrieking and laughing and the girls tried to run, but only succeed in being wet up.
"Rossi!" Emily said, as her hair started to paste itself against her face.
"That prankster!" Sonia said, giggling. "Baby, help me before I slip."
Reid helped Sonia to a near by chair and JJ and Will ran off the floor. Eva and Matt started laughing and Penelope and Morgan just stood there giggling.
The sprinklers stopped and Rossi got on the mic. "Gotcha", he said laughing. "You can't scheme a schemer!"
Reid looked up from helping Sonia dry off with napkins and laughed evilly. "That's what you think." Reid said.
"You know, Pretty Boy", Morgan said sliding over to them. "I don't even feel bad for what about to happen to them now. Mom was in on it, I bet you."
Emily and Hotch walked over shaking water off of them. "Knowing Rossi, she was", Hotch said. "I can't wait until he gets his."
"Looks like we won't have to wait long", Sonia said, looking up. Fran and Rossi took to the floor, pointing at the group in the corner that had gathered. Fran and Rossi, in matching white, started dancing and the strings of "It had to be You" started. As the chorus began, a loud buzz came and then mountains of pink foam dropped on the couple. As they danced, their wonderful white outfits turned a hot pink with lines of white showing through.
"Ugh!" Rossi said stepping back and examining his tux. "Pink!?"
"Gotcha!" the group yelled together.
The group walked over to the middle of the floor where the now pink couple stood laughing in wiping foam away from their faces. The kids ran around playing in the foam, and the group laughed with each other and hugged.
The photographer came over. "Say cheese!" he said.
The group all gathered together, soaked, and pink and happily took the picture. Running mascaras, smeared lipsticks, and soaking tuxes, everyone finished out the song playing from the DJ before taking off.
Saying their goodbyes, the group took off in their separate directions. With everyone almost home, a group text came in. "991. Mercy Med."
Everybody's car's did a u-turn from their destinations and high-tailed it to Mercy Medical.
Morgan and Penelope got their first with Derek Jr. Emily and Hotch got there with Jack and JJ and Will showed up Henry and Layla. Eva and Matt and Rossi and Fran walked through the doors.
"OK, So where's Pretty Boy and Sonia?" Morgan said.
Just then Reid and Sonia rushed in looking wet and excited. Sonia's lilac dress had streaks of pink on it from the foam and her hair was wet and matted. She was breathing heavily and trying not to cry.
"So as soon as we pulled away, Sonia said she wanted ice cream." Reid said hurriedly." I stopped at a market to get the ice cream and when I came back out to the car she was in labor."
"So, we, uh, ooh, hurried here and Spencer sent a group message." Sonia said though labored breaths. "I, um, see, wow, that you guys got it."
"Don't talk Hon", Reid said coming back with a nurse and a wheel chair.
"Um, is it raining?" the nurse said.
"No", Rossi said. "It's a long story."
They wheeled Sonia back and Reid went in while the team waited with the kids for news.
"OK, Mrs. Reid, you're doing wonderful." Dr. Barlem said.
"I need to push, Doctor", Sonia said grunting.
"OK, let's get you delivered!"
Two hours later, the nurse came out.
"You guys can come back now", the nurse said.
The team followed the nurse to the recovery room for Sonia and Reid.
Morgan opened the door softly and Sonia looked up and smiled. "Come in Uncle Derek."
The team came in and Sonia was holding a caramel, curly head baby boy in her arms and Reid stood holding another curly head caramel boy.
"Twins!" Penelope said excitedly.
"You guys!" JJ said, coming close to Sonia. "They're beautiful!"
Reid smiled. "Yep, twins. Meet Spencer David Aaron Reid", he said motioning to the baby Sonia was holding, "and Jason William Derek Reid", he said nodding to the bundle in his arms.
The men in the room were silent. The girls started to tear up and Morgan stepped forward.
"All of us?" Morgan said, choking up.
"Including Gideon, the men in this room have had the greatest impact on my life. I've learned who I am, and what I can be. Gideon was the first father figure I ever had and Rossi stepped up took over when he left. Will is my confidant and Hotch the big brother I never had." He turned to Morgan and handed Morgan the bundle in his arms. "You're the best friend I never knew existed."
Morgan shed a tear and pulled Reid into a small hug while holding the baby. "Thanks Man", he said quietly.
The team stood by admiring the babies and talking among themselves until the nurse came in and said they were a fire hazard and kicked them out.
"We'll be back tomorrow", Hotch said. "You guys get some rest."
Goodbyes were said and Reid looked down at sleeping son in his wife's arms. He picked up his son and placed him in bassinet next his brother. The instant he put him down the boys woke up and started crying. Reid reached for his son, but Sonia stopped him.
"I want to do an experiment", she said sleepily. She cleared her throat. "We can dance if we want to, we can leave your friends behind…"she began.
"…cause you're friends don't dance, and if they don't dance, then they ain't no friends of mine…" Reid finished smiling and laughing softly. He looked down in the bassinet. They boys had stopped crying as soon as Sonia started singing and lay holding hands as Reid finished.
"Guess it runs in the family", Sonia said as she drifted off to sleep.
Reid kissed his sleeping wife and climbed into the chair next to her.
"Safety Dance", he said chuckling. "Ha."
