I don't own Criminal Minds but if I did, Derek Morgan would never, and I do mean ever wear a shirt. :)

Will and Derek were bustling around JJ's newly redone kitchen. JJ had the kitchen redone like an old Tuscan villa. There was a lot of marble, and brick. She got every detail perfectly down to the wine and menu chalkboard.

The two men were getting everything ready for their annual New Year's Eve party. The entire BAU team was going to be there.

Penelope and JJ were setting up the living room. JJ's living room was just as elegant as her kitchen. Her walls were a dark gold; she has sconces on the wall that gave off soft and comforting lights. She had hardwood floors, and large rich dark chocolate furniture.

Penelope was setting out silver champagne flutes, and JJ was setting out the Hors d'oeuvres. Penelope and Derek at her apartment made artful trays of cold cuts. Penelope being the all knowing supreme genius found a way to make the slices of meat look like roses and skewed them with toothpicks. Derek made dumplings, and together they made bruschetta and pigs in a blanket. JJ and Will made fruit kebobs. The kebobs were actually Henry's idea. They also made crepes and mini Greek pizzas.

Derek yelled from the kitchen, "Hey baby girl can you bring me the bottles of wine we bought so we can start chilling them?"

Penelope yelled back, "Derek anything for you my love."

Derek shouted back, "Thank you sweetness."

JJ rolled her eyes and said, "You two are going to give me a toothache."

Penelope chuckled and said, "Well JJ this is your entire fault."

JJ smiled and said, "Yeah I know. But I am glad you guys are happy."

In a sing song manner Penelope said, "Hard not to be happy when you have your own personal chocolate god of thunder."

Back in the kitchen…

Will looked over at Derek and said, "It's about time you two finally get together."

Derek grinned and said, "Yeah it took us a minute to figure it out.

"You mean my meddling wife forced you to fess up."

Derek laughed and said, "Yeah something like that."

Will laughed and shook his head, and said, "I still can't believe she locked the two of you in your office, after you got shot."

"Well she did walk in on Penelope basically feelling me up."

Will cocked his eyebrow.

Derek laughed again and said, "I was just trying to show Penelope that I was okay after I got shot. Thank god for Kevlar."

Will drawled, "Preach brotha."

Derek chuckled.

Penelope walked into the kitchen holding several bottles of wine and said, "Here you go hot stuff."

Will smirked and said, "So do you plan on sharing those?"

Derek laughed and said, "We are not from New Orleans, this amount of wine must be about right for a New Orleans lunch but around these parts, this is enough to sedate a polar bear."

Will smiled and took a big gulp of beer and said, "Yeah, what can I say. We love our alcohol."

JJ called from the living, "Penelope can you help me get these tea candles in place?"

"Sure Jayje just let me stick these bottles of wine in the fridge."

Will said, "Penelope you can just put them in the crisper. It pulls out."

Penelope smiled and said, "Whatever you say Mardi Gras."

Penelope bent down to put the wine bottles away. Derek couldn't help it, he gave your butt a healthy smack.

Penelope looked at Derek with a smirk and said, "Ouch D."

Derek just grinned and said, "Couldn't help it. I have been telling you for years I was gonna do it. Consider yourself warned."

Will rolled his eyes and said, "Ah new love."

"Actually not new, just out in the open."

Penelope quickly said, "Okay JJ where do you want me to put the rest of these candles?"

"Just put them where we don't burn down my house."

"Sure no problem." Penelope straightened the front of her dress. It was a navy blue sweetheart neckline dress, with white polka dots, and a small navy blue rose in her hair.

She then set out the candles.

JJ said, "I need to go upstairs and get Henry ready for the sitter. She is picking him up in about 20 minutes."

Penelope clapped her hands together and said, "Good I will get to see my favorite little man before he leaves."

Derek came out of the kitchen and gave Penelope a quick kiss.

In Penelope's words Derek looked like sex personified. He wore a midnight blue Henley shirt, and a pair of dark jeans that fit his butt just right.

Derek asked, "So Ms. Garcia what is your New Year's resolution."

Garcia bit her bottom lip, and thought about it.

She smiled and said, "I don't have one. I have the same resolution since I met you."

"What would that be?"

Penelope smirked and said, "To do this."

Penelope gave Derek a loud smack on the lips.

A sleepy Henry said, "Ewww gross mom make Aunt P, and Uncle Dewek stop it."

JJ raised her eyebrow and said, "Children behave."

Penelope blushed, and Derek just laughed.

Penelope looked down at the floor and said, "Sorry JJ."

"Eh it's okay Will and I were about that bad when we first met."

Will drawled, "Yeah well it seems a beautiful blonde couldn't keep her hands off me."

JJ put her hand on her forehead and said, "Will you did not just say that."

Will had a huge grin on his face.

JJ blushed and hung her head because Will was absolutely right.

JJ poked Will in the chest and said, "Okay Mr. LaMontagne Jr. you were more than a willing participant."

Will gave his wife a kiss on the cheek and said, "Don't I know it."

Penelope rolled her eyes and said, "Okay now who is grossing Henry out?"

The doorbell rang stopping the amusing small talk the small group was having.

JJ went to the door, and opened it. "Hey Mrs. Scott thank you so much for keeping Henry and Jack tonight."

The older woman said, "JJ you know my grandkids moved away so it is my pleasure to have these two sweet boys in my home for the evening."

JJ said, "Okay well we will be there to pick them up about 9 in the morning."

Mrs. Scott sweetly said, "Dear you might be up all night just get them around 4 or 5 in the afternoon."

Will smiled and said, Thank you so much Mrs. Scott. Won't you come in for a moment?"

"I wish I could but I have cookies in the oven."

A sleepy Henry was suddenly not so sleepy

Henry plastered a huge smile on his face and said, "Are these your famous granny Scott cookies."

Mrs. Scott said matter of fatly, "Why yes it is young man."

Mrs. Scott gave Henry a high five and Henry said, "Awesome."

"Alright Henry we better get going."

JJ said, "Okay here is his bag. Henry did you get your dinosaur."

"Yes mommy."

JJ gave Henry a kiss and a hug and said, "I love you sweetheart."

Will repeated JJ's actions and said, "Hey buddy you be good for Mrs. Scott okay."

"I will daddy."

"Aunt P can I have a hug?"

Penelope smiled and said, "I wouldn't let you leave without one."

Henry fist bumped Derek and said, "Bye Uncle Dewek."

"See you later lil man. Don't forget we are going to the park next Sunday.

Henry did his best impression of his Uncle Derek and said, "Cool."

JJ rolled her eyes. Since Derek has been dating Penelope he has been spending a lot of his free time with Jack and Henry. JJ laughed internally thinking about her son coming home with new cool phrases, and handshakes when Derek would drop Henry off.

So what do you think about it so far. Rated M for later chapters..
