Derek Morgan was eating crow. A huge, gigantic, steaming pile of crow fricassee.

Derek had always made Halloween about finding the closest near naked honey and snuggling up for some tricks and some treats.

Well...that was before as everyone in the B.A.U so eloquently put it: Derek Morgan finally pulled his head out of his ass, and married his Baby Girl. And of course, their relationship wouldn't be uniquely "Derek and Penelope" if she hadn't gotten pregnant on their first date.

Now, Derek sat at the round table in the conference room watching as his twin daughters stare in sheer fascination at their Uncle Reid, who was doing a physics magic show.

For almost ten years Derek made fun of Reid for his love of Halloween, and at the present moment in time Derek felt like buying Reid a Tardis - whatever the hell that was - to say thank you for stopping the cascade of tears coming from Derek and Penelope's tired daughters.

The B.A.U was holding a family friendly Halloween party, which Derek was grateful for. Holidays always kept him on high alert. He couldn't help but profile the masses of people walking around the neighboring streets, and because more often than not, their faces being covered in masks made him hypersensitive to danger.

Spencer Emily, and Madison Jennifer Morgan were enjoying having chocolate coins pulled from behind their ears. Even Derek couldn't help the deep chuckle that escaped his throat.

Reid smiled widely at the girls. He then had Derek cover the girls' eyes and was instructed to close his eyes as well. Spencer shook the small plastic film canister, He gleefully shouted, "Open your eyes."

The girls giggled and clapped, and Derek busted out laughing as he watched Hotch duck quickly to avoid getting hit on the head. Jack turned his head and tried, failing miserably to not laugh at his father.

Hotch narrowed his eyes at Reid and said, "Nice height Reid, but you really need to work on your aim."

Jack pulled a chair next to his Uncle Derek and sat down quickly. Next JJ came in with Henry who was currently dressed as a mini Dr. Who. His blonde locks had been cut, on the insistence of WIll. JJ couldn't argue, because Henry's hair stopped getting in his eyes at soccer practice.

Derek leaned over and whispered to Jack, "Nice costume, Little Hotchner."

Jack smiled brightly and said, "Thanks, Uncle Derek. Can you guess what I am?"

Derek pretended to think about it. He tilted his head left, than right and said," Well you have a sword. Are you a pirate?"

Jack giggled and said, "Nope, guess again."

Derek said, "Hmmm. Well you also have a belt Are you a construction worker?"

Jack laughed and said, "Okay, Uncle D, one more guess."

Derek placed one daughter on JJ's lap and Hotch reached for Madison. Derek stood up and stood in a classic fight stance in front of the conference room.

Jack smiled brightly as he copied Derek's movements. Derek said, "I see that you are a ninja. The question is are you a good ninja or an evil ninja?"

JJ shook her head at the display these two were making.

Penelope was leaning against the door frame when she said, "Okay you two, I think you got all the bad guys. Now come on who wants to get some candy?"

Jack and Henry shouted, "I do!" as Madison and Spencer were perfectly fine staying with Aaron and JJ.

JJ stood up and said, "Come on girls we have to show everyone what cute little witches you are.

Jack grabbed Derek's hand and excitedly yelled, "Let's go see what Uncle Rossi has."

Henry second the thought by dragging Penelope right along with them causing her witches hat to almost topple off of her head.

JJ laughed and shouted, "Don't worry we have the girls."

Hotch shook his head at JJ and said, "You know we should've probably taken our own kids."

JJ smiled and said, "Nope that's okay. You could really tell how much Henry wanted me there."

Hotch shrugged and said, "Sometimes candy trumps everything."

JJ ran her hands lovingly through little Spencer's long light brown and copper curls.

Hotch smiled at an almost asleep Madison.

Hotch whispered, "It seems to me that there are two very adorable little girls who could care less about candy."

JJ smiled softly and she continued to play with Spencer Morgan's hair.

JJ wistfully asked, "Have you ever thought about having another one?'

Hotch took a deep breath and said, "Maybe. I don't know."

JJ said, "It doesn't help that these two are so dang cute."

Hotch took in the baby smell of Madison and couldn't help feeling nostalgic over the way his son stole his heart. Watching all of his firsts, although he missed quite a few, the one's he got to experience was life altering.

JJ knew that look. JJ nudged Hotch's arm and asked, "So, have you and Beth talked about it?"

Hotch sighed again and said, "We live in two different states. How would we raise a baby together?"

JJ cringed as she said, "Will wants another baby, but we really haven't discussed it. We are both always so busy. And."

"And what JJ?"

JJ started to say something, but was relieved when she heard Morgan say, "Guys come on we need to finish up before the Halloween party at Rossi's.

Penelope smiled at Hotch and JJ and said, "You two look good with babies."

At the sound of their mother's voice both little girls stirred and blinked at the two people holding them.

They smiled shamelessly at their godparents.

Penelope reached for one daughter as Morgan reached for the other.

Hotch asked, "Hey where is Jack and Henry."

Derek smirked and said, "Driving Anderson crazy. Dave thought it was a good idea to be the king size of Snickers ™."

Hotch just stared at Derek and said, "Great Jessica is going to kill me. She is watching both boys for us."

JJ walked out into the bullpen and said, "Henry LaMontagne, and Jack Hotchner find a seat and sit now."

Both boys did what they were told to do. Henry and Jack carefully climbed off of Agent Anderson's desk and took two seats at Reid's desk in the bullpen.

Rossi was sitting behind his desk in quiet contemplation when there was a knock on the door.

Penelope peaked her head in and said, "Papa Rossi I have too little good witches who would very much like to see you.

Rossi smiled brightly and said, "Bring em on in."

As soon as Penelope opened the door to very little girls were wiggling their way out of their parents arms to get to Rossi.

Rossi chuckled and said, "Spencer and Maddy..How are my two favorite girls."

Both girls waddled over to Rossi and held both arms out wide. Rossi let out an "Ommf." when he picked both girls up and sat them on his desk.

Derek and Penelope sat side by side on a small couch in his office.

Rossi was caught up in chatting with the girls to notice the amused looks on both Derek and Penelope's faces.

Derek leaned over and whispered, "He's become a big ol softy at his old age."

Penelope let out a small giggle and said, "Like you are any better."

Rossi looked up and said, "Not that I don't love these two angels, but when am I getting a baby named after me?"

Derek grinned wolfishly at Penelope, who in turn just rolled her eyes.

Penelope said, "Come on David they are barely a year old, and I just came back to the B.A.U. Or did you enjoy having Kevin take over for me?"

Rossi grimaced, It wasn't that Kevin was bad at his job, quite the opposite, but as everyone from the B.A.U proclaimed, Kevin Lynch is in no way, was as skilled as Penelope Garcia. Matter of fact, Penelope swore she almost saw Hotch cry in relief when she announced she was returning.

David said, "Alright, alright. But you two better name the next one after me."

Derek chuckled and asked, "What if it is a girl?"

David replied, "Divida isn't that bad of a name."

Penelope quipped, "With a name like that she will never get a boyfriend."

Both Rossi and Derek said, "Exactly."

Rossi turned his attention back to the two little girls.

Rossi said, "Well I know what Spencer, Maddy, and Penelope are, but Morgan why aren't you dressed up?"

Derek replied, "My wife here said I didn't have to dress up until your party tonight."

Penelope said, "Mhmm, and before you ask, he has no clue to what he is going as."

David looked at Derek and said, "Be afraid son. be very afraid."

Derek said, "Trust me I am. I just hope like hell she didn't buy any chaps."

Penelope said, "Well that should make you feel better, you will be wearing pants."

Rossi said, "Thank God."

Penelope stood up and said, "Girls, can you tell Papa Rossi what you learned." Then Penelope pointed to their pumpkin shaped baskets.

Spencer and Maddy in unison said, "Twick Tweat."

Rossi smiled brightly at the girls He gave them both candy bars almost as big as their bodies.

Derek stared at Rossi and asked, "Rossi seriously? They are never going to go to bed."

Rossi chuckled and said, "I am sure Fran can get them to go to sleep."

Spencer and Maddy had pulled out chocolate coins from their little pumpkins. Spencer was trying carefully to open the gold packaging, and Maddy was taking a more brutal approach. Spencer got her candy opened and tried to give a piece to Rossi.

Derek had to catch Maddy's hand before she could smash the chocolate treat open.

Rossi chuckled and pointed at Maddy and said, "I wonder who she takes after?"

Penelope smiled and said, "They have the best of their mommy and daddy."

Rossi laughed and said, "Then you two should be terrified."

Rossi saw Maddy try and give him a bite of her chocolate coin. The little girl shrugged and shoved the whole thing in her mouth.

Derek sighed and said, "Seriously no more candy."

Rossi said, "Okay. Okay."

Penelope scooped Maddy off the desk and said, "We really should be going. I have to get these two home and changed into their pajamas, and get ready for the party."

Derek picked up Spencer Emily and said, "Yeah man, thanks for the stuff for the girls."

Rossi stood up to walk them out and said, "No problem."

The three adults were almost out of the room but were stopped when they saw JJ give Aaron a hug.

Rossi whispered, "Well that is interesting."

Penelope smiled and said, "Oh if you only knew."

Derek asked, "Knew what?"

Penelope cursed herself, "Nothing you need to worry that gorgeous mocha head about."

Derek said, "Nu-uh woman."

Both girls said, "Nu-uh."

Penelope sighed and said, "Both of you sit." while motioning towards Derek and Rossi.

Penelope stood in the middle of the room like a teacher instructing her class.

Penelope said, "Listen up because I am only telling this once, and frankly I can't believe I have waited this long to say anything."

Derek said, "Well mama get to it."

Penelope placed her hands on her hips and said, "Geez a little patience Morgan."

Derek said, "Baby if I had any patience we wouldn't have these two."

Penelope said, "Point taken."

Rossi said, "Hey innocent people are here too you know."

Penelope took a big breath and said, "Aaron and JJ have spent a lot of time together in the past couple of weeks. I am not sure if it is anything other than them letting the boys play together or if there's more."

Rossi said, "Well I haven't really noticed anything, not that I was looking."

Derek asked, "What about Will?"

Penelope knew JJ would kill her, but she had to tell someone.

"JJ and WIll have been legally separated for over six months now. They stay in the same house, but don't sleep in the same bed anymore."

Rossi went wide-eyed and Penelope confession.

Penelope said, "Wait there's more. But you two cannot get mad at me."

Derek said, "We promise."

"Nope my Italian Stallion has to promise too."

David said, "Fine Garcia get on with it."

Penelope quickly said, "Well ever since what happened with the whole Foyet stabbing Hotch thing, I have kept tabs on you guys,. Not like big brother tabs, but in the I want to protect my family so I every once in a while scan for anything that is not on the up and up."

Derek's eyebrows knitted in confusion. "P what are you saying?"

"JJ didn't tell me they were seperated, I saw the HR file. Apparently breaking up when you are in the F.B.I consists of a lot of paperwork."

Rossi rolled his eyes and said, "Tell me about it."

The two little girls were getting squirmy being stuck sitting down, so Derek and David placed both girls on the floor and moved the chairs until the were forming a little ring around them.

Penelope said, "Well anyway. It seems JJ and Will are making JJ and Will no longer permanently. And every since Beth took that job in New York, Hotch sees less and less of her."

Derek said, "I figured it would only be a matter of time, before those two figured it out."

Rossi roared a laughed startling the little girls, who gaped at Rossi.

Rossi said, "Pot calling the kettle, man."

Derek sighed and said, "Haven't we heard that enough?"

Rossi said, "Not a chance."

Penelope said, "Anywho… Well that's all I know, well that and Jack once told Hotch he wanted Henry to be his little brother."

David said, "Well I'll be."

Penelope nodded and smiled widely.

Derek looked between his wife, and his friend and said, "Hell no. We stay out of this. You two are not meddling with JJ and Hotch's love lives."

Penelope pouted and said, "But sugar."

Derek said, "No P."

Penelope smiled sweetly and said, "Fine, but I shall not be your Halloween honey."

Derek groaned and said, "Fine but you two, keep me out of whatever nonsense you cook up."

David said, "Fine. But we all know Garcia can get you to do her bidding if she really wanted you too."

Derek wisely changed the subject.

"So Rossi what do you have planned for the party?"

"Good drinks, and a good time with friends."

Spencer Emily and Madison Jennifer had enough of playing on the floor and were ready for bed.

Penelope and Derek bid Rossi adieu as they made their way out of the F.B.I building and towards home.

Derek glanced over at Penelope who was in the passenger side and said, "P do we really have to mess with JJ and Hotch. You know out of all of us they are the most private."

Penelope looked over at Derek and said, "I know you think this is silly, but I want them to be happy. Derek we are a family, albeit a strange one built on serial killers, but a family none the less. I think we could help them. They both deserve to be happy. Don't they?"

Derek smiled and said, "Yeah they do."
