She sat and waited for him, she knew he would be home soon, and she needed more than anything to see him. She fingered the simple gold engagement ring on her finger and lost herself in her thoughts. She didn't even hear him enter the apartment.

"So it's true then" he asked quietly

She looked up at him, startled. He was her best friend, had been for years. But lately since Kevin it seemed they grew further and further apart. He stood in his living room facing her but not approaching her.

"Yeah I guess it is, I mean he proposed yeah but I told him I needed a few days to think about it."

She looked up at him, wishing for him to say something to beg her not to do it, to tell her HE loved her and HE wanted to spend the rest of his days with her.

Instead he cupped her face in his hand and leaned down and kissed her softly, he took her by the hand and led her to his room, and that night she finally knew what it meant to make love.

The next morning when Penelope woke up the first thing she noticed was that she was all alone, she rolled over and clutched the pillow. That was when she noticed the note. She opened it slowly.

Penelope

I am so sorry to do this, but the truth is I cannot give you what you need and deserve. I love you but love isn't always enough. I will never regret this night with you but I feel it is better we both walk away from this. Go to Kevin, he can give you the life you deserve. I will keep what happened between us a secret, so as not to cause your life with Kevin any grief. I wish things could be different, I will miss you.

By the time she had finished the letter the tears were flowing freely. She came to him for answers, for him to tell her not to do it not to marry Kevin, to be with him and have a life with him.

She looked down at the engagement ring on her finger, and a wave of guilt hit her. What had she done, she betrayed a man that loved her, and lost her best friend, all for one night. She quickly got out of Derek's bed and got dressed; she knew he wouldn't come home until he knew she was gone. He obviously didn't want the confrontation. So she would move on, she would marry Kevin and pretend this had never happened.

3 months later

" I just cannot believe you got married and didn't tell me" JJ was glaring at Pen with her arms crossed

"Come on JJ, you know I didn't want a big fancy wedding, so Kevin and I went to Vegas this weekend, and voila I am now Mrs Kevin Lynch." Penelope smiled.

"I am with you Pen, I would never have a big wedding, eloping is perfect." Emily agreed

The three girls were sitting at Emily's desk in the bullpen, while Pen caught them up on her marriage to Kevin over the weekend.

" Eloping is fine, I just would of liked to be there Pen…" JJ Whined

"Whets all the commotion:" Hotch and Rossi entered the bullpen

"Garcia and Lynch eloped this weekend in Vegas." Emily beamed

The two older agents congratulated their tech; just then Garcia noticed Reid and Derek step off the elevator. She quickly jumped off of Emily's desk, said her goodbyes and headed to her office.

Derek noticed Garcia hurry off, and he frowned. It had been three months since they had been together, and he couldn't think of anything else since. He missed her, he missed everything about her. He constantly found himself thinking back to the night they spent together, how perfect it had been. How perfect they were together. But he knew the truth he would only end up messing it up, it was better this way.

Garcia was busy working away, when Kevin entered her lair.

"Hello there my lovely wife,"

Garcia turned around to her husband and smiled.

"Are you off then?"

"Yeah my appt is at 10am. How was it for you this morning?"

"Not bad, I mean I am sure everything is fine, we have only been trying for a few months Kevy"

Kevin smiled and kissed his wife on the head. " I know I just want to be sure, I want us to be a family so bad sweetheart."

Garcia smiled at her husband. He truly loved her, and she was really looking forward to having a family, she needed it. They had been trying to become pregnant since they became engaged, which wasn't very long, but Kevin insisted on them going to get tested to be sure all was well. Garcia quickly kissed her husband and he was off.

She smiled, having a child was just one more way to cement herself to Kevin, and to forget about Derek Morgan.

A week later

"Yes thank you doctor, of course that's great." Penelope smiled as she got off the phone with her doctor. She was PREGNANT! She couldn't believe it. And not only was she pregnant, she was more than 3 months along! How did she manage to miss that? Penelope assumed with all the stress of getting married, things kinda went under the radar for her. But that didn't matter she was pregnant.

Just then she heard the front door of the apartment open, and Kevin walked in, She rushed to him and noticed the crestfallen look on his face.

"Hey what's up?" Penelope leaned in to kiss her husband

"Bad day Pen"

" Well I think I can make it better, Dr Salle called and I'm pregnant!" Penelope beamed at her husband waiting his response.

"How is that possible Pen?"

" Well Kevy If you need me to explain that to you, I am doing something wrong." Penelope teased.

Kevin stepped away from his wife and shook her hand off of his chest. He finally turned and looked at her with the coldest stare. She felt a shiver go through her. She was scared.

"Kevin you are scaring me"

" Who is it Pen?"

"Who is what? Kevin what is going on? Did you hear me, we are having a baby"

"The clinic called me with my results today Pen, I am sterile! I will never have children, so how the hell do you explain being pregnant?!!"
