Chapter 3 – Test Of Time

Eight weeks had flown past since that fateful night fuelled on passion, lust and love between Derek Morgan and his 'baby girl' Penelope Garcia when they both admitted their love for one another, they had been on six real dates, which only confirmed that they were perfect for one another.

For the past week Garcia has started to feel nauseous and vomiting at all times of day with no physical cause, just feeling run down and Morgan was starting to get worried, but didn't push the subject as their relationship was still a secret from the team.

Garcia was pacing around the en suite bathroom in her apartment which directly linked up with her master bedroom. Waiting for what seemed to be the longest two minutes of her life. She was late and Penelope Garcia had never been late like never, there was no doubt she was pregnant, pregnant with Derek Morgan's baby.

The timer began to shriek announcing that the two minutes were up, causing Garcia to stop wearing a hole in the bathroom floor. The thirty four year old looked down at the array of pregnancy tests which were laid out upon the bathroom counter. All six of the pregnancy tests did in fact conclude that she is pregnant. Garcia was going to have the love of her life's baby, even though they had only been dating two months.

Feeling lightheaded, Garcia made her way into the master bedroom and sat on the edge of of her bed. Sat in silence allowing the news to sink in, tears glistening in her eyes she placed her hands on her lower abdomen. Suddenly the sound of a key in the look of the front door to her apartment, invaded the silence which had surrounded Garcia, it was 19:45 PM.

Morgan had a key to Garcia's apartment ever since she got shot by her date a few years back and now used it when he came home from cases. The BAU team had been on a case in Houston, Texas for the past week and once they had finally caught the UnSub Graham Michaels thanks to Garcia narrowing the suspect pool by digging into the personal lives of the victims, they were flying home this evening.

Garcia quickly jumped up and made her way back in the en suite to attempt to hide the pregnancy tests, Morgan had returned home from the case.

"Baby girl, I'm back," Morgan called out as he put his jacket on the coat rack, dumping his bag in the living area, in search of his girlfriend.

"In the bedroom," Garcia replied calling from the master bedroom, trying to get a hold of herself drying her tear, would it push him away if Garcia told him she was pregnant?

Walking from the living area in Garcia's apartment to her bedroom, he could here his girlfriend crying, so he gently knocked on the bedroom door before entering.

"Pen, baby girl, are you alright?" Morgan asked, whilst perching himself on the edge of the bed, pulling Garcia into a tender embrace, trying to console her.

Continuing to cry, Garcia took comfort from her boyfriend of eight weeks embrace. Morgan continued to hold her in his strong arms, rubbing gentle circles on her back, placing kisses to her temple and hairline.

"Derek, please don't be mad," Garcia began to explain, whilst gaining control of her sobs. Morgan just looked at her with soft caring eyes.

"Pen, I could never be mad at you," Morgan replied truthfully, lifting her head up gently with his hand so he could look deep into her eyes.

Managing to release herself from Morgan's tender embrace, Garcia headed towards the en suite, pulling Morgan's arm indicating she wanted him to follow her. Immediately as he entered the en suite behind his girlfriend, his eyes made contact with the small array of pregnancy tests that were on top of the bathroom counter.

"I'm pregnant Derek, it's yours," Garcia announced with fresh tears lining up in her eyes, gazing up at Morgan whom himself had a lone tear escaping his eye trickling down his soft cheek.

Without saying another word Morgan placed his lips onto hers into what should have been a gentle soft peck, soon turned into a passionate dance of tongues battling for dominance, leaving Garcia weak at the knees, finally breaking the kiss due to the dire need for oxygen, both of them panting in order to catch their breath.

"I love you Penelope, I know we have only been dating two months but I love the baby, I want to be with you and create a wonderful family with you," Morgan murmured placing one hand on Garcia's abdomen, the other taking Garcia's hand in his.

"You mean that?" Garcia asked as if to reassure herself that this was really happening.

"Of course I do Pen, I know we have been only been in a relationship for a short while, but I have loved you for so long, since the first day I met you, but we can do this, we can be parents," Morgan exclaimed, only admiration in his eyes.

"We're going to be parents, you know we are going to have to tell your family and the team right," Garcia stated quietly as she buried her head into Morgan's muscular chest, drawing as much strength as she could from her boyfriend.

"I know how about we invite them all out for a BAU family get together, and maybe ask permission for a long weekend off to fly to Chicago to tell my mom, Desiree and Sarah in person," Morgan suggested guiding Garcia back into the master bedroom.

"I like that idea very much," Garcia smiled allowing herself to feel happy about the pregnancy.

Half an hour later it was 20:15 PM, Garcia and Morgan were finishing up their Chinese take-out dinner, it was too late to cook dinner at home to enjoy a home cooked meal. Snuggled up on the sofa in the living area Morgan wrapped his arms around Garcia's abdomen where his unborn child lay. Garcia had dozed off in her boyfriend's arms after finishing their feast.

"I'm going to take care of you little one, you and your beautiful mommy, I love you both very much, I'm not going to let anything happen to you," Morgan admitted as he rubbed Garcia's stomach.

They were going to be parents, Morgan lifted Garcia into his arms and carried her to the master bedroom, Morgan laid next to his girlfriend the women he loves, and he fell asleep happy with the news that he was going to become a father.

Next step tell the team.
