This has story has been playing itself in my head for weeks now, but I have been hesitant to put it down on paper. There are some really great writers for Morgan/Garcia fic (kriketwilliams,loveforpenandderek,klcm…just to name a few) and I wouldn't want to disappoint. The story idea is great and I hope I can get it out the way I am seeing it. Anyways here goes nothing..
Disclaimer…I own nothing sigh..
Derek stared down at his hands folded in his lap, the glint of his wedding ring seeming to hold him in a daze. He unknowingly stroked the cool metal with his thumb as though reminding himself it was still there, unlike so many other things in his life. His marriage, his wife, all gone now. He looked across the desk at the man who was animatedly going through his entire life and picking everything apart, everything being neatly divided as though the last 6 years of his life hadn't even happened.
Every now and again the man would look at him for a reaction or argument but Derek would simply nod. Give her whatever she wants. Those were the first words he told his lawyer. His lawyer! That sounded so wrong. He told her he didn't need a lawyer; he would give her whatever she wanted, because none of it meant anything without her. She argued and said she wanted it done right. Neatly. Quick. Plain and simply she wanted him out of her life as fast as she could make it happen.
He looked out the window as the lawyer continued to talk. Damn he could talk. He wondered about her, his wife. How much longer could he say that for? Soon he would just be Derek Morgan, a lonely bachelor at 39 years of age. Father of two. Divorced. Another statistic. What would Spencer Reid say? Derek almost smiled. It had been a long time since he seen the old team, back when things were simple. It would have been better if they had stayed in Quantico. When did it go so wrong, when did he start to screw up? Who was he kidding, It was all his fault, he was the reason he was sitting here, he was the reason his wife hasn't spoken directly to him in nearly 3 months, he was the reason he was renting a crummy bachelor pad away from his family. Derek lost everything that ever meant anything to him. And now she was going to suffer, her and their boys. His sons. Innocent victims in all of this.
And why? Because Derek Morgan couldn't keep his damn hands to himself……. All because of a woman, a woman if he was honest, he never really wanted in the first place. And now he was losing the only woman he ever truly wanted. Penelope Morgan. His wife.
So please review, I am kind of thinking I am going to bounce around and give flashbacks to how they got here, and continue with the present but just add in the flashbacks to kind of flesh the story out. I kind of have a plan.
FYI they are living in new york but I am thinking of having them move back to Quantico…what do you think.
Oh and I am thinking this is about 6 years after New York. Pen and Derek got together after the whole bombing thing and got married, they moved to New York together when Derek got offered Kate's job and they have two boys ages 2 and 5.
