Derek watches lovingly as two of his best friends got married and when he saw that woman that he had been in love with for years standing across from him all he could do was wonder if he would ever get another chance with his baby girl. The room was filled with happy smiling faces as Hotch and Emily finally got married after fighting their feelings for years and as he watched Hotch slid the ring on Emilys finger he couldn't help but wish that the couple getting married today were him and Penelope.
Penelope glanced across the aisle and saw the man that would always own her heart smiling back at her, she had loved Derek for years but when their relationship eneded so suddenly and he moved to New York what else was there for her to do but move on. She could still feel Dereks lips on hers, she could feel his arms wrapped around her and now seeing him again she couldn't help but wonder how things were for him.
Derek watched as Emily and Hotch made their way back up the aisle and headed toward the reception hall, he walked to the center of the aisle and held his arm out and grinned when Penelope happily put her hand on his arm. He leaned in and said, "you look beautiful Penelope", she smiled happily at him and said, "thank you Derek and might I say you look as handsome as ever", he have her another Derek Morgan smile as they headed up the aisle toward the back of the church.
Once they were in the reception hall Derek made his way over to everybody and hugged the bride and groom, Emily smiled and said, "we are so glad that you could make it Derek". Hotch laughed and said, "we were afraid that you wouldn't be able to come", Derek patted Hotch on the shoulder and said, "ohhhhhh there was nothing that could keep me away from this wedding".
Reid grinned as he hugged Derek and said, "when are you coming back to the team we miss you"?, Derek laughed and said, "sooner than you think pretty boy, sooner than you think". JJ grinned and said, "really, you are really coming back"?, Derek smiled and said, "yeah I'm not happy there and being the chief isn't all I hoped it would be".
Dereks heart fell when he watched a dark haired man wrap his arm around Penelopes shoulders and kiss her cheek and say, "how are you doing beautiful"?, she smiled and said, "I am fine, a little tired but I'm good". Penelope looked at Derek and said, "Derek Morgan this is Chris Daniels my boyfriend, Chris this is my friend Derek Morgan".
Chris held his hand out and shook hands with the new man in Penelope life and said, "it's nice to meet you Chris", Chris nodded his head and said, "it's nice to finally meet you". Chris said, "I have heard alot about you", Derek laughed and said, "I hope that some of it was good", he nodded his head and said, "ohh yes it is".
Chris leaned in and whispered something into Penelopes ear and she giggled and said, "I would love to handsome", Derek felt his heart tear into pieces at hearing her use his nickname on another man. Derek watched as Chris led her to the center of the floor and pulled Penelope into his arms and all he could do was wish that it was him holding Penelope instead of Chris.
Reid tapped Derek on the shoulder and said, "so how are you doing man"?, Derek said, "man I have missed you all so much and I'm glad to be back", Reid laughed and said, "so when do you start again at the BAU"?, Derek smiled and said, "I start Monday". JJ grinned and said, "we are glad that you are back, we missed you a lot".
Derek glanced over his shoulder and saw how happy Penelope was and then he said, "so how long have they been dating"?, JJ said, "officially about a month but they have been talking for about two months". JJ punched Derek on the shoulder and said, "why did you leave without saying goodbye to us and why wouldn't you call us or take any of our calls"?, Derek sighed and said, "it hurt to much Jayje".
Rossi walked over and said, "I'm gonna call bullshit on that one Morgan", Derek turned around and said, "how have you been old man"?, Rossi laughed and said, "I've been doing good but it's been lonely here without you". Derek put his hand on Daves shoulder and said, "well I am back to stay", Rossi looked over at Penelope and Chris dancing and said, "you broke her heart Derek, you broke her, I mean you completely devastated her when you left".
Derek and the rest of the team minus Penelope sat down at the table and he said, "I am stupid for leaving, everything in me was telling me to stay here with you guys and with Penelope". Emily said, "so why didn't you"?, Derek dropped his head and said, "I don't know, I love you all so much but the job offer came right after me and Penelope had a huge fight and she said things and I said things and ahhhhhh hell I don't know anymore".
JJ nodded over to Penelope and said, "you lost a great woman Derek, she loved you with her whole heart, she tried and tried to call you, she emailed you and did everything she could to get in touch with you". He nodded his head and said, "I know and it broke my heart to not talk to her, all I ever wanted was her,
I wanted a life with her, hell I still want a life with her".
Rossi smiled and said, "why don't you go and see if you can cut in and dance with her"?, Derek said, "I'm afraid that she will say no", JJ sighed and said, "she won't say no Derek, she still loves you". He took a deep breath and walked across the room and tapped Chris on the shoulder and said, "can I cut in"?, Chris looked at Penelope and she nodded her head and he said, "sure", he kissed Penelopes cheek and walked over to get something to drink.
Derek smiled as he wrapped his arms around Penelope, he said, "I have missed you baby girl", Penelope said, "you don't have the right to call me that anymore Derek, you lost that right". Derek said, "I think we need to talk", she put her hands on his chest and pushed away from him and said, "we don't have anything to talk about".
Derek said, "please goddess", she pushed away from him again and headed back across the room, he walked over and put his hand on her arm and said, "why won't you talk to me"?, she wiped away a tear and said, "you left me, you never called me and told me goodbye, you never tried to make things work, you just tucked your fucking tail between your legs and left me".
Derek opened his mouth to say something and she said, "save it for the next notch on your bedpost because I sure as hell don't want to hear it", she then practically ran over to join the rest of the team.
