So here is the epilogue. I know this story has been going on for awhile so it's a bittersweet thing to say goodbye to it. I hope everyone enjoyed the journey and I hope that my other stories will suffice from now on. I have been in pain and things have been weird for me lately. So I am grateful for the reviews, favs, and follows. It makes me smile when I see that you all are enjoying my stories. Please, know that no matter how old a story is, I will always appreciate a review you leave, so don't hesitate. This story may be over but it was something I worked on for a long time so of course I appreciate you reaching out.

"Conference room, kiddos. We have a case," Penelope called out as she strolled through the bullpen holding her files in one hand and her water in the other.

She set all of her stuff down and picked up the remote. The team were all gathered around the table, so she started explaining the case. After only the first picture of a victim came up, she stopped and had to steady herself putting her palm on the cool surface of the table and holding the other hand with the remote against her body.

"Garcia, if the pictures are too much for you, we can-" Prentiss was confused since the case wasn't even close to the most gruesome they'd seen, but she was interrupted when Penelope held up her hand and dropped the remote to the table.

Everyone stared at her with concern all over their faces, all of them ready to help, but Penelope kept her hand up to stop them.

Except Luke who was highly unamused when they all glanced to him for answers. "Honey, it's going to happen. There's no point in trying to stop it." She glared at him, but it was less intimidating than she would've liked when she whirled around to the trash can and threw up.

Luke stood up and held her hair as he rubbed comforting circles on her back. She felt her stomach even out, and Luke pointed to her water. Matt reached over and handed it to him. Luke brought it in front of her, and she drank some before nodding to him that she was okay.

He helped her turn to the others who resembled deer in headlights. "So, uh, I'm pregnant, if that wasn't blatantly obvious at this point." The sarcasm dripped off of her.

Although, the past couple minutes made them all assume that, their faces all widened in shock at the confirmation.

"You've been together for like two months," JJ said in wonder and befuddlement.

"Yup, and it's true what they say, kids. You really can get pregnant the first time. Well to be fair, we don't know which time - well the point is I'm eight weeks along, so do the math for yourselves."

"Uh, wow, uh, we're happy for you," Emily said.

Both Tara and Matt said congratulations at the same time, followed by JJ and Spencer.

"Ha, so when's the wedding?" Rossi cracked the joke.

"Actually, we were hoping in about two months," Luke said to them all, the shock was coming back to them full force again.

"I was joking, kid. You don't have to get married just because you knocked her up. No offense." Rossi said to Penelope who shrugged.

"We only found out she was pregnant a couple weeks ago. We've been engaged since New York," Luke informed them. As he kept his arm around her, she leaned into him for support.

"Wait, so that ring is real? I thought it was some of your costume jewelry. You wear rings on your left hand all the time." JJ got up to pull Penelope's hand in hers to inspect the ring closer.

"Aren't you all supposed to know my secrets before I do?" she joked.

Emily scoffed. "Well yeah, but we thought the relationship was enough revelation. At least until winter was over."

"I thought we'd have at least a year of you two sneaking around the office trying to hide secret rendezvous," Matt laughed.

"It's nice that you knew you wanted to get married before you knew this." Tara smiled sweetly.

Luke gave her a gracious nod. "Thank you. That's what I've been saying. She asks me everyday if I want to take it back, but somehow she didn't have any problem possibly bringing a kid into the world." Luke gave a half eye roll as he glanced at the women currently curled into his side.

"Well, I don't know. The ring is an agreement. A kid is an accident," she tried to argue shyly.

"It's not an accident if you're not trying to prevent it. We can get divorced and tear up the marriage certificate. I can't shove a kid back inside you. Are you really trying to argue that it's less of a commitment? Seriously, Penelope, we've been over this."

"Yeah yeah, I know. I know you're right. Just leave me alone," she said defeated as she held onto to his middle tighter.

Luke smiled at her affectionately, before turning towards the sound of JJ's voice. "So you were trying to get pregnant?"

"Not exactly, but not exactly not." Penelope squinted at her as she spoke.

"Well I guess we have a wedding to plan for," Rossi said.

"Yeah, I get to be a Godparent again," Spencer said.

"How presumptuous," Emily said laughingly.

"Not at all, Garcia and I have an agreement, one we sealed in the most sacred of places, Comic-Con afterparty," Spencer announced proudly.

"He's right," Penelope said to Emily before addressing Luke. "Sorry, Honey, it's a contract I have to uphold. You get no say. Oh shit! No one tell Derek." She realized in that moment that the abstract agreement she made years ago was actually not well thought out at all. She assumed it would always be hypothetical, but here she was smack dab in the face of reality.

Everyone laughed at her very real fear. "Okay, I hate being the boss sometimes, but we do have a case. Garcia, if you need to go home, we can get someone from the tech pool to fill in," Emily said.

"No, no, I'll be fine in like twenty minutes. It seems to happen an hour after breakfast, and then right after I fall asleep, the time in between I'm actually not so bad," she confirmed. "But someone else present the case. I need to sit."

Luke pulled her chair out for her, and she took a seat as Emily picked up the remote to continue.

"Oh wait, just one more thing," Penelope stopped everyone, and they waited for her to speak. "Was the agreement for the first born only?" she asked Spencer.

He furrowed his brow. "Uh, yes."

"Phew, well Derek should forgive me then." She nodded at Luke, before turning to the others, "Because we're having twins."

I am behind on responding to all of you. Sometimes sitting at the computer can really irk my pain so that is why. But I will get there eventually. I appreciate those of you who are intrigued by Manor, I just updated it yesterday and I know it's a different kind of story which is exactly why it is one of my favorite, along with Signals. I appreciate those of you going on a different journey with me.

I know this story ended with a happy pregnancy. I wrote it this way about six or maybe more months ago. It is rare I will ever write something with a baby. I truly believe. as Luke's character does, that a baby is a very serious commitment. It's another human being who will live and struggle the way we all do. I think it was okay to do that here because it is clear that their relationship is deeper than just infatuation. But, I have never believed kids are the only way to be happy. And I truly believe that Penelope wouldn't think having a child with someone she didn't think was good enough to marry was a good idea. I am not lecturing, at all. Some of the best kids I know are happy accidents, but it's the intention, and I believe Penelope knows Luke is the kind of man that would be an actual great father instead of just a dad. But, that is why the baby storyline is rare for me. I think it is a serious thing. But I know most of you enjoy it! Thank you all for understanding!

Thanks to BookDragon2013 for getting through this story with me.
