Can't End Now
Chapter 1
Prologue
AN: I thought of this story after reading LoveForPenandDerek's new chapter for her Perfect Love Story series called Crazy for the Girl. However my story is different, but gotta give you credit for this idea. One thing is similar though Hotch and Derek are at each others throats.
"I wish I could be there, Sarah," Penelope said with a sigh, for the first year since she'd gotten together with Derek she was going to miss his older sister's birthday.
"I'm going to miss you here, sis, the kids are coming with Derek though right?" Sarah asked.
"Yes, Danielle and Tyler are going to be there," Pen said, "I think Jessica is going too, I am hoping so, she's been pissed off at Derek all week," she said.
"I can't believe that she'll be thirteen this year," Sarah said, "I'm glad that Derek went with Jeff to California that summer when he was seventeen, I don't think we would have been lost without you in our lives, Penelope," she said.
"I can't believe I convinced my mom to let me go to Chicago alone when I was seventeen," Pen said, "Course my brother ended up moving there after I chose to stay," she said with a smile thinking back to that summer that lead to the best year of her life, even when her parents died she hadn't lost her world, not that it hadn't hurt more than she'd ever felt something hurt, but she'd had Derek there. They'd fell in love and the day they graduated high school they got married, and three months later welcomed their daughter Jessica into the world with both her grandmothers' names.
"That reminds me, guess who is dating?" Sarah said.
"You, but how's Eric taking that," Pen teased.
"Funny, Penelope," Sarah said with a laugh, she could always count on her best friend to make her laugh, "No, Nick Wells, he and Des hooked up last month," Sarah said with smile.
"Nick is dating Desiree, oh my god, she annoyed him so bad when we were younger," Pen said.
"It's funny how things work out, Nick and Des are together, after thirty years together my parents are renewing their vows too," Sarah said, "Dad's sure going to miss you this year too," she said.
"I know, I'm going to miss him too, William is somebody you can't forget, and he's gave Derek his charms," Pen said, "Maybe I can make the morning flight out," she said.
"Dad would love that, and of course we will too," Sarah said, "Let me know, I have to go now work and three kids to take care of, I love you sis, talk later," she said before hanging up.
"Love you too," Pen said before checking the flight plans for the next two days finding a Saturday morning flight and booking it, Hotch only needed her Friday and then she'd have the rest the weekend to spend with family, and she wasn't missing Sarah's birthday, she hadn't missed one yet and wasn't going to start now.
"Baby girl, you shouldn't have to work at all, you put in for the weekend for vacation, and you have earned it," Derek said.
"I know, but I am the one that holds this team together," Pen said, "I'm flying out Saturday morning," she said, "I wouldn't miss Sarah's birthday or your dad's Chili, I lived on that stuff when I was having Danielle," she said before Derek wrapped her in his arms.
"I remember, and now you and our daughter are addicted to it," Derek said kissing her neck before he picked her up carrying his baby girl and wife to their bedroom, "Want to try for four?" he asked laying her on the bed.
"I thought you said three was charmed?" Pen asked laughing.
"Well they did get that Billie girl in the end, but I'd like another boy," Derek said before he kissed her, "We got three hours before the kids get home, JJ and Will took them out with Henry," he said kissing her neck.
"MM, sounds like a plan," Pen said with a moan feeling Derek's hand moving up under her shirt, "We might get five if you keep it up, we already have four," she said.
"What?" Derek asked looking into her eyes, "You're pregnant?"
"Yeah, I found out for sure today during Lunch, that's where I was at, I'm pregnant," she said.
Derek kissed her showing her how much he loved her pulling her shirt off and smiling down at her, "I love you Penelope Morgan," he said.
"Love you too, Derek Morgan," she said wrapping her arms around his neck pulling him down in a kiss.
It didn't take them long to lose the close and for Derek to be inside her making them whole a feeling that they knew all too well. He moved his hands over her sides kissing her moving slow wanting to make it last since it would be two days before he could see her again.
"Trying to kill mama here, you know I hate slow," She said wrapping her legs around him before flipping them and taking the top position, "Damn, hot stuff, you look good under me," she teased before kissing him.
Derek smiled into their kiss holding her to him as she started riding him, he always did love her on top, "Right where you belong," he said holding her waist to help her keep her balance closing his eyes enjoying the feeling of his baby girl on top him.
Pen knew he was close, eighteen years married, three children with fourth one on the way, she knew him like the back of her hand, and he knew her as well. "Cum for me handsome, fill me up with your need for me," she whispered in his ear, holding his hands down on the bed kissing and nipping at his neck thrusting down hard over and over till they both came exploding as their names came flooding from each other's name.
Derek rolled over few hours later finding Penelope already out of the bed, he found his clothes before going to their living room finding JJ, Will, and Penelope sitting around talking with Henry sleeping in Pen's arms.
"Getting some practice in?" Derek teased kissing her neck, "Hey you two," he said before going to the kitchen to get something to drink.
"What was Derek talking about practice?" JJ asked.
"We're having another baby," Pen said, "I found out today at lunch," she said before JJ squealed getting up and hugging her friend, "Congratulations, I can't believe it," she said.
"You and me both," Pen said, "After two miscarriages I was giving up, but I'm three months along, and the doc said that I'm doing fine," she said.
"That's wonderful," Will said, "You two have enough rooms in this house for at least four more kids," he joked.
"Watch now," Derek said, "She has four kids, she might hit you, is said twins and she about killed me," he said.
"You two are crazy," JJ said, "Is Jessica going with you this weekend?" she asked.
"She wouldn't miss seeing her grandpa no matter how pissed she is at me," Derek said, "She'll get over it, but she's twelve, she's not about to date, she's done lost her mind," he said.
"She wanted a dirt bike to impress some boy," Pen said, "Derek said no, she has yet to say the second word since I hate you,"
"Like I'd buy into that," Derek said, "The kid would go crazy without me," he said.
"You got that right," Pen said, "She's a daddy's girl, they pout the same way too," she added.
"Hey, I do not pout," Derek said.
"Ha, you've been pouting since I said I had to work," Penelope said.
"I was not pouting," Derek said.
"Whatever, pouty pants," Pen said with smile standing up handing Henry over to his dad before going passed Derek spanking his ass on the way to the kitchen.
Derek turned around picking her up and smacking her bottom making her squeal before he started tickling her, "Who's pouting now?" he asked.
"Stop, I have to go to the bathroom," she squealed.
Derek let her up as she took of to the bathroom, "You two staying for dinner, I was going to make lasagna," he said.
"We have to go, but thanks for the offer and I promise Pen will be fine," JJ said.
"It's not her I'm worried about, three days without her in Chicago, I'm going to get the hell worried out of me why she wasn't there," Derek said, "I'm hoping she gets done, and can come up Saturday," he said.
"Maybe," JJ said.
Danielle and Tyler were three years apart with Danni being older and it was uncanny how they looked a like at times. However these days it was easy to know who was who. Tyler had wanted his hair shaved off like his dad for his seventh birthday, and since then Pen had given in letting Derek shave it off once a month. Danni had her mom's hair, and she loved finding new colors to put in it, this week it was purple and green streaks through her blonde hair. They both had their parents brown eyes; it was hard to shake that.
Jessica however had long black hair that was past her shoulders, it was her dad's hair color if he didn't keep is shaved off, and just like her younger siblings she had brown eyes. Most the time she was hanging out with her dad, she'd always been his little girl following him around since she was two years old and even when she wasn't the only one, she'd stayed with her dad, but almost a teenager she was wanting to be anywhere but around her dad.
Derek and Penelope had gotten married at eighteen and had Jessica three months after that, they made their way through college, and his days as a cop, then to the bomb squad. Doing undercover work with a wife and three kids, that was another story all together, however they'd made it, and when those eighteen months were over, after a lot of help from a friend after Penelope breached not only the Chicago PD's security system but the FBI, they'd both gotten jobs there at the BAU, Derek a profiler, and his baby girl the brilliant tech that could solve almost everything they through at her.
They had lost two kids however, Jackie and J.D., they'd been twins, however three months in Penelope had lost them, and it had taken time for them to recover, but they'd made it, and now were stronger for that. Being apart was something they weren't good at, it was hell when Derek had to go away, not just on them but the kids since they'd always had their dad around.
However the next few days and weeks would prove to not only test them again as a family, but the jobs that Derek and Pen had. Going home without Penelope might prove to be the one mistake that couldn't be taken back.
