The SUV swung into entrance from the street, and in arrowed into the ER entrance at the south side of the hospital. Morgan screeched to a halt at the top of the half turn driveway. He nearly clipped an EMT that was heading out to the ambulance that sat just in front of the SUV.

Morgan leapt out of the truck, ignoring the tall, skinny, and blond EMT that was cursing. The man's green eyes blazed at the agent and a lesser man would a quailed before them.

"I said… What the hell is your problem?" He stepped to the right and blocked Morgan's path.

"My wife is in labor, back off." Morgan moved around him and opened the door. "And so is the woman in the back seat

The paramedic took this news very well and instead of decking the big man like he wanted to, he went to find wheelchairs. He thought as he went into the ER that he should have known… Only expectant fathers drove up to the ER like that.

"Okay baby girl… We're here." Morgan said as calmly as he could while opening the door to the passenger side. He lifted her out despite her protests that she was okay.

"Morgan… I love the whole, 'Me Tarzan, you Jane,' thing, it's sexy. But, if you don't -"

She gasped and her face went sheet white. "Baby… I don't feel so good." Her beautiful brown eye fluttered shut and she went limp in his arms.

Reid was helping JJ out of the SUV when Morgan suddenly sprinted away with Penelope. "Morgan…" He yelled.

His friend didn't turn around… Instead he disappeared into the ER entrance, "What do you suppose that was about?" He asked JJ.

"I don't know… Let's get inside!"

They walked into the ER entrance in time to see Garcia being wheeled away on a gurney with a doctor shouting orders at the nurses.

"Morgan… What the hell…" Reid began. His friend was running behind the gurney through the large swinging doors.

JJ's large blue eyes were filling up with tears when he looked back at her, bewilderment clouding his large eyes.

"What's wrong? JJ asked.

"I don't know…" He headed to the check in desk and pulled out his badge. "The woman that was just taken away, her name is Penelope Garcia. What's wrong with her?" He demanded with as much authority as he could muster.

Of course the nurse at the desk wasn't impressed with the badge, or the tone of Reid's voice. Her black hair was pulled back in a pony tail and her dark brown eyes bored into him like the laser site of a rifle.

"Who are you?" She snapped, ignoring the badge he held out to here.

"I'm Supervisory Special Agent Dr Reid. I'm with the BAU at Quantico."

"Oh… well in that case… No, I can't tell you anything about a patient unless your family or an emergency contact."

She went back to her paperwork, acting like he wasn't there. "Ma'am I'm not asking out of idle curiosity. That woman is a friend and she's like family and -"

"Look… if you're not here in an official capacity, you're going to have to wait and talk to her husband. Now please get out of the way."

"But…" The nurse had gone back to her computer as though he wasn't there.

He remembered JJ was there when she began yanking on his sleeve. "Babe… I know you're concerned and so am I, but I'm in labor too."

The nurse looked back up and addressed JJ, while continuing to ignore Reid. "Did you say you're in labor, sweetie?"

"Yeah…"

"Well… let's get you admitted. Who is your doctor?"

Reid decided that since the nurse was ignoring him, he'd find a wheelchair. There was one near the entrance of the ER and he rolled it over to JJ. She gave him a grateful smile and sat down. He took the paperwork from her and filled it out while the nurse took preliminary vitals.

A few minutes later, they were in the Women's Center and JJ was getting into a gown and into bed. Reid sat anxiously on a chair while the nurse set up leads to monitor the baby's heart rate and JJ's blood pressure. There was a monitor to track contractions and the nurse had assured her that Dr. Baker would be there soon.

JJ hitched in a breath and tried not to scream when another contraction hit. "Damn… that was a bad one," She gasped after several seconds of trying to remember her Lamaze breathing and getting through the worst part the contraction.

Reid was holding her hand, and his face went red and then blotchy white when the contraction peaked.

"It's all over now… He tried to say with as much sympathy as he could despite the throbbing in his hand.

"What would you know about it?" She snapped.

"Um… Nothing I guess!"

Here comes the abuse the books and the doctor had warned him about. The books said that it was temporary and it would all be over when the baby came. Even so, he was very glad that JJ didn't have her gun.

"I'm sorry Spence… I guess I'm just worried. Why won't they tell us about Penelope?"

"They can't honey. I'm sure she's okay and so are the babies. I'm sure that Morgan will tell us everything. All we can do now is to make sure to think positive thoughts."

She gripped his hand again, but this time it was a gentle squeeze that reassured him that everything was going to be okay. What if it wasn't though? If something could happen to Penelope and the twins, then that meant that something could go wrong for JJ and their baby… He shivered and his eyes went to the lead peeking out from her gown. Yeah… something could go wrong. He should go get the doctor and make sure that JJ and the baby are okay…

"Hey Spence… You look a little scared over there. You're very pale. I'm sure that Morgan and Garcia are just fine and that -

"No…" He let go of her hand and stood up. He began to pace rapidly up and down the room. His long fingers skimmed through his hair, and made it stand on end as though he'd got an electric shock.

"Baby… What's wrong, you're scaring me!"

He looked back at her and felt his whole heart constrict at the fear in her face. "I'm sorry… I don't want anything to happen to our baby."

JJ opened her mouth and another contraction hit. They were coming faster and faster and she was beginning to think that maybe she couldn't do this.

"JJ… I'm sorry." He rushed over and took her hand again. Once more she squeezed it so hard he almost screamed. After the worst of the pain had passed and after her breathing got back to normal she let him have it.

"Damn it Spence. Don't you think that I'm not scared to do this? Haven't you thought that giving birth is a very scary experience, and then you start talking about what could happen to me or the baby? I know the next thing you'll be doing is quoting some statistics about birth defects or something equally frightening. I know that we don't know what happened to Garcia. She did everything the doctors told her to do when they determined that pre-eclampsia was a problem for her. If she did everything right and something has gone wrong, then how do you think I feel? I'm trying to keep it together and you're losing it. I can't have you lose it Spence. I need you to be strong for me. I need you!"

She was right… Now wasn't the time to freak out. He would have to be strong for once in his life and not worry about all the stuff in his head from medical journals and books.

"I'm sorry JJ. I… I'm sorry." It was all he could think of to say and it sounded so inadequate to his own ears. What must it sound like to her?

"I know honey. I didn't mean to shout at you." She reached over and caressed his cheek with one finger.

"Don't apologize… I'm going to sit here, and be with you till it's time for our baby to come."

She smiled and wondered how she deserved such a great man. He leaned over to kiss her forehead and she hugged him tight despite the next contraction. It was going much faster than she expected and she wondered if it was normal.

"Hello Jennifer…" A female voice spoke from behind them, "Hey Dr Reid."

He turned to see JJ's doctor, Susan Baker standing there watching them with a grin. "Ah… hi Dr. Baker," He squeaked.

"Hello yourself… Looks like you're the ones I have to thank for interrupting the delicious barbecue I was at."

"I'm sorry Sue." JJ said.

"Oh don't be ridiculous. I should be thanking you. You got me away from my mother who wants to know what I haven't gotten married and had kids yet. She still thinks this doctor thing is a passing phase. Now, I need to see how you're progressing. "

"I'll just wait outside." Reid said. He left at a near run, leaving the small red haired doctor to look after his wife.

--

Morgan came around the corner at the same time that Reid left the room and they almost knocked each other over.

"Geez Morgan… You scared me to death. Where is Penelope? Is she okay? Are the twins okay and -

Morgan was still dressed in the scrubs they'd given him in the operating room. "Yes… She's great and so are the boys." He grinned.

"Boys…" Reid exclaimed. "They're both boys. That's great…"

"Yeah… I'm over the moon and Pen is doing so well. They had to do an emergency C-section as her blood pressure spiked. She's had medication and will be just fine."

Morgan was leaning against the wall as though all the weight of the world had been lifted off his shoulders by the simple fact that his wife and children were okay.

"Why are you here? You should be with Penelope and the babies." Reid asked. He was leaning against the other wall and looked as tense as Morgan did relaxed.

"The docs and nurses are doing their thing to make them all comfortable. I'm going up to her room in a bit. She made me promise to find out how you two were doing."

Reid hesitated with his next question. He really shouldn't ask, but he was very curious. "So… Ah what was it like?" He asked hesitantly.

"It was the greatest feeling in the world man, when you hold your baby for the first time, it's like nuthin' else matters in the world. I always thought my baby girl is beautiful, but now I know she's the most spectacular thing in the world. She came through it like a champ. Don't worry… JJ is going to be okay."

Reid looked up in surprise and his friend chuckled. "I know exactly what you're thinking my man. I promise it's going to be okay."

He slapped Reid shoulder and almost knocked him to the ground. Dr Baker came out and even at five foot three she exuded more authority than Hotch on his best day. "We're getting ready to take her into delivery.

Morgan slapped him again, "Go get em tiger!"

--

"Alright JJ, one more push…" The doctor ordered.

JJ hitched in a breath, and felt Reid's arms around her lifting her up and holding her safe while she pushed for the last time. There was a moment of silence and then a small cry that became an indignant wail.

"It's a girl…" Dr. Baker said.

JJ collapsed against Spencer and began to cry. He could feel the rush of adrenaline fueling his tears and the sense that nothing in the world was ever going to be the same again.

A nurse looked up at the clock. It was nine pm exactly and fireworks would be starting soon. The doctor called Spencer up to cut the cord, which he did with shaking hands and tears streaming down his face.

The nurse took his small baby girl and began to clean her off a bit and do an Apgar score. He went back to JJ and held her tightly till the nurse came back with the baby.

"Here you go. Seven pounds exactly and nineteen inches. She's beautiful… Congratulations." She laid the baby on JJ chest.

The baby was crying, and her eyes were tightly shut as though she didn't quite know what to make of the world around her yet. There was abundant brown hair the very shade of her father's all over her head.

"She's so beautiful," JJ whispered through her tears. Her hair was mussed and her makeup smeared. She was a bit pale in the face, but like Morgan had said, she was the most beautiful woman in the world.

"You want to hold her dad." She asked.

"Um… okay… I guess."

He cradled the baby in his arms and she promptly went to sleep. "Wow… looks like you have the magic touch," JJ said with a tired smile.

"What do you want to call her?" He asked.

"I still like Amy for a girl…"

"It means, 'loved,'" He said.

"I know… I looked it up. She is loved. Why don't we make her middle name Kayla?"

"Kayla means 'who is like God,' I think it suits her just fine." He agreed. "Welcome to the world, Amy Kayla Reid."

--

"Okay… It's time for the fireworks, and you have the best room in the house to seen them." The nurse told the group in Garcia's room. JJ and Garcia rooms were right next to each other.

Reid had gone in to visit them, and he and Morgan had brought the boys into meet JJ, and Hotch and Emily who Morgan had called. Rossi was out of town for the fourth, but he'd spoken to the proud parents on the phone and congratulated them. He made arrangements to see them when he got back the next week. Emily had gone to Reid and JJ's house to get JJ's bag before coming to the hospital, and JJ was feeling much more comfortable in her own night gown and robe.

Reid was holding Derek Reid Morgan Jr. in his arms, and looking down at the little caramel colored face and dark brown eyes that were half shut. Matthew David Morgan was in his father's arms and sleeping contentedly.

The boys weighed in at six pounds five ounces for Matthew and six pounds three ounces for Derek. They were both fifteen inches long, and had their mother's curly hair and their father's dark skin and piercing eyes.

Amy had her father's angelic features and hair, but her mother's mouth and eyes. It was a striking combination that had Derek teasing Reid about all the boys that would be hanging around. To which Reid had informed him that he was locking her up at the age of thirteen till she was thirty.

They'd all laughed at that, even though JJ knew that he was serious. Emily had stolen Amy from him the minute she'd got to the hospital and was cooing over her with a very wistful look.

When Nurse Jane had informed them that they could see the fireworks at Magnolia Park from there, Reid left Hotch holding Derek Jr. and went back to his wife. Emily was talking to her softly while JJ nursed the new baby.

"Hey… the nurse said the fireworks are about to start." He told the girls.

Reid pulled the curtains open just in time to see the first burst of gold and red spangles over the trees. They were followed by white bursts and then green and purple. He glanced over at JJ who was smiling at him. Her face reflected the bursts of color and he realized that all of his fears had been in vain. This was perfect and this was right. Now it was time for his real life to begin.

THE END
