Hey guys! So here's the new fanfic called Welcome Home Penelope Garcia! I'm planning it to be about 16 to 18 ch's, but I haven't decided yet!

I know in the show criminal minds, Penelope's parents died when she was 18, but in here they're alive!

Here it is, Hope you guys enjoy it!

It's an beautiful sunny day in Quantico Virginia and instead of being outside and enjoying the weather, I have to pack. See I'm visiting my parents in Texas for two weeks. I haven't seen them since I got my job at the BAU and I thought it would be nice to see them. I'm leaving early tomorrow morning.

So I'm just finished packing my bag when there's a knock on my door.

*I'll be there in a second!* I call towards the door. I zip up my suitcase, and bring it by the front door. I open the front door to find my best friend of six years Derek Morgan.

*Hey baby girl. I wanted to see if you'd be willing to go out with team and I tonight.* He asks me.

*Sorry Handsome, but I can't. I'm visiting my parents tomorrow and I have to wake up early tomorrow to catch my flight.* I gesture towards my suitcase.

*Visiting your parents? Where?* He steps into my house and I close the door behind him.

*Texas for two weeks.* I walk into my bedroom and make sure everything is packed.

*I bet your excited.* He sits on my couch as I come out of my bedroom.

*I guess...*

*I guess? Why arn't you excited?* I stand behind the couch, and he leans his head back against the couch and looks up at me.

*I am, it's just... my father criticizes every choice I've made in my life.* I sigh.

*What would he have to criticize?*

*Well for starters he doesn't like me being in the BAU says it's a waste of my time, then he doesn't like the fact that I'm not engaged or married, always told me that by time he was my my age that I was already born and walking.*

*That's not so bad...* He comments.

*Ohh I'm not finished. He also doesn't like that my best friend is you.* I walk away from the couch and head into the kitchen to grab some water. Derek follows to the kitchen, where he stands by the counter.

*How could he not like me? He doesn't even know me!*

*I know! That's what I said .* I grab two bottles of water and hand one to him.

*Thanks. Why doesn't he like me though?* He asks me then opens the bottle of water and starts drinking it.

*Well... he doesn't like you because your... african american.* He takes the bottle off his mouth, and starts coughing. Once he's done, he finally speaks up.

*What the hell does that have to do with me?* He asks me.

*Well he doesn't particularly like african americans because he thinks every single one of them is 'a no good, lying thief who doesn't contribute to society.'* Derek just sits in silence for awhile, then speaks up.

*I'm going down to Texas with you.* He leaves the kitchen, and starts walking towards the front door.

*What? Why?* I follow him to the front door.

*Because I know you can't stand up for yourself against you for father, so I will go help you, no matter how much he doesn't like it. I'm going to my place to pack my bag, I'll be back soon.* He waves goodbye, then walks out of my house. Guess I can't change his mind huh?

I'm reading a book on my couch when someone knocks on my door about two hours later. I get up off my couch and open the door to have Derek come in with his suitcase.

*You can just put that the front door.* I tell him as I close the front door.

*Thanks. I swear when I get to Texas, It's going to take so much restrant to not punch your father in the face.* He puts his suitcase by the front door, then goes and sits down on the couch.

*And I thank you for holding back.* I start walking towards my bedroom.

*I'm going to sleep, you can sleep on the couch. See ya in the morning.* I walk into my bedroom.

*Goodnight baby girl.*

*Goodnight Derek.* I close my bedroom door. I walk towards my bed and crawl into it, then fall asleep instantly.

My alarm goes off at 5 in the morning, two hours before our plane is suppose to take off. I crawl out of bed and over to my dress, where I put on a white t-shirt, capris, and tennis shoes. I then walk out of my bedroom to see Derek already dressed and on the couch, reading the paper.

*Good Morning Baby girl, I talked to Hotch about Texas and he said it was fine if I went.* He hands me a cup of coffee that's on the table.

*Thank you.* I take the cup from his hand.

*When was the last time you saw your parents?* Derek asks.

*Since I started at the BAU.*

*It's been... six years?*

*Yep, and don't be alarmed if the first time my dad sees you he says 'why is this human disgrace in my household?*

*Ohh I'm counting on that.* He get's up from the couch.

*Probably should start heading towards the airport.* I get up off the couch as well.

*Your right.* I go to grab my suitcase , but Derek's already got it.

*Why do you have to be such a good friend?* I ask him as I open the door for him.

*Cause I know how to treat a women, now let's get going.* With that, we start heading towards the airport.

We got to the airport, went through security, and are now on the plane, waiting for it to take off.

*Hey you ok?* Derek asks as I look out the airplane window.

*Yeah, I'm just nervous that's all.*

*Everything's going to be alright, I'll be by your side the entire time.* I look at him.

*I just hope your right.* Just then the plane starts taking off, soon we're in the air.

After about a 2 hour and 50 minute plan ride, we arrive in texas. We are now in our rental car, on our way to Dallas Texas to where my parents live.

*Texas, the place where I'll be staying with a rascit son of a...* Derek starts to say but I cut him off.

*We're here!* The place where my parents is live is a texas ranch home that sits on 24 acres of land. The car pulls into the driveway. I see my parents standing by the front door. I get out of the car, and walk over to them.

*Mom dad!* I hug them both.

*Hey pumpkin.* My dad says.

*Welcome home dear, Who's that young man in the car?* My mother asks.

*That's my best friend Derek mom.* We look back at the car, and Derek now get's out of the car. I then look back at my dad who looks pissed now.

*How can you make such a stupid mistake by bringing... that here Penelope?* My dad says as he points at Derek. Then he walks inside the house. I look back at Derek, who looks stunned. Texas is going to be very interesting.

I didn't expect it to be out today, but as I was typing it, the thoughts just kept coming into my head and presto! It was written! Hope you guys like it!

Thanks for reading.

Enjoy!
