David Rossi grinned as he looked up from his paperwork to see Derek and Penelope doing their usually flirty banter, he shook his head and said, "I wonder when they arr going to realize that they are perfect together". He sighed as he then looked at a picture of his wife Fran Morgan Rossi sitting on his desk, he ran his finger over her face before putting the picture back on his desk.
He looked up when there was a knock at his door, he smiled and said, "come in Aaron", Hotch stepped inside and closed the door, Dave sat back and said, "this must be serious you just shut my door". Hotch sat down and said, "Dave it's time", Dave said, "I'm a little lost here Aaron, what's it time for"?, he pointed to the duo of Garcia and Morgan and said, "it's time we get them together".
Dave nodded his head yes in agreement and said, "I'm ready", Hotch said, "wellllll we were thinking that since tomorrow is Christmas Eve that we could" and Hotch then spent the next few minutes filling Dave in on the plan that him and the rest of the team had come up with". Dave laughed and said, "count me and Fran in", Hotch smiled and said, "great".
He stood up and Dave said, "I'll do you one better, we'll have the party at my house", Hotch said, "that works out great, that way Fran can see everything happening first hand". Dave stood up and said, "I love the way you think Aaron", Hotch laughed and said, "how about we go down and tell the team about the party"?, he nodded his head and said, "ohhhh wait, what about Sam"?, Hotch said, "ohhhhh you don't have to worry about him, she broke up with him several weeks ago".
Dave said, "well let's go spring the party on the next couple of the BAU" causing Hotch to laugh as he opened the door so the two men could head down to the bullpen and their team. Derek was laughing at something his baby girl had said when Dave said, "alright kiddos there is a family get together at our house tomorrow, can you all come"?, it didn't take long before everybody had agreed, well everybody but Derek and Penelope.
Derek said, "I don't know Rossi I", Penelope said, "yeah I was planning on spending Christmas Eve with some Cherry Garcia and the Hallmark Channel", Hotch said, "ohhhh come on Garcia you don't want to let your two nephews down now do ya"?, she said, "so not fair bossman, using my adorable munchkins against me", JJ smiled and thought,
"all is fair in love and war".
Derek said, "alright I'll go but I'm not making any promises on how long I'll stay", Dave said, "deal", he said, "well I'm heading out, I'll see you all at Casa Rossi tomorow about 12:00 then"?, everybody nodded their heads and said, "see ya there". Penelope said, "well I better go shut my babies down but I'll definitely see ya there Rossi".
Derek then sat there watching as his baby girl headed toward her office, he inwardly moaned as he watched her butt sway back and forth, he shook his head and said,
"snap of it Morgan, she's your best friend". Reid leaned in and said, "good friends make great lovers", Derek looked up and said, "welllllll listen at you pretty boy".
Reid laughed and said, "I'm serious", Derek said, "TMI Spencer, TMI", JJ walked over and said, "you ready to head out Spence, I want some alone time before we pick Henry up". Reid put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "remember what I said", Derek grinned and said, "I will pretty boy, I will" and he watched as Reid snaked his arm around JJ's waist as they stepped onto the elevator.
He sat there for a minute thinking, was Reid right, he then shook his head and said, "she doesn't think of you that way Morgan, she only thinks of you as her best friend and nothing more". He couldn't help but smile as he looked up and saw Penelope heading toward him, he held out his arm and said, "shall we baby girl"?, she giggled and said, "we shall handsome".
As they stepped onto the elevator he wrapped his arms around her and rested his forehead on the top of her head, she said, "are you alright sugar"?, he kissed the top of her head and said, "more than fine, I'm perfect as long as I have my girl in my arms". Penelope sighed happily and wrapped her arms around Dereks waist and said, "and I'm more than fine as long as I have my chocolate adonis in my arms".
Derek laughed and shook his head as they stepped off the elevator, he walked her to her car and opened the door, she kissed his cheek and said, "thank you ever so much kind sir". He said, "anything for you baby girl", as she pulled away Derek waved and as she disappeared onto the street he stood there wondering if maybe it was time to tell Penelope how he felt.
He laughed as he climbed into his SUV and said, "maybeeeeeee" as he pulled out of the parking lot heading home
