If there's one thing the Morgan men of many generations did not do, it was be unfaithful to there wives. Derek's late father, grandfather, and many of his uncles instilled that into his head growing up. Morgan men were loyal and brave. Some say they were natural born protectors, the majority of them had a job in law enforcement waking up everyday with the good gracious of saving as many lives as they came in contact with even If it meant putting there own at risk.
Derek Morgan was no different he was a profiler at the behavioral analyst unit for the f.b.I. Has been for the past 6 years. He has saved many lives during his duration with the bau, He often got a ear full from the people that love him about how he is always so willing to put his own life on the line, they claim he has a hero complex. But its was a natural reaction for Derek just like breathing, he wanted to live up to the Morgan name he always prayed that when his father looked down over him, he'd be proud of the man Derek grew up to be.
As of today Derek knew he hadn't lived up to the Morgan expectations. Which he was disgusted with him self for. All his family asked of him was to do the right thing, respect his mother, and always remain faithful to the woman he married and started a family with. But no he didn't even do that!
That's what brought him here today. He walked into the home he shared with his wife and child. He noticed a few box's by the front door and a lot of noise coming from upstairs. He called out to his wife but received no answer. Jogging up the stairs he went into the master bedroom to find his wife packing and his daughter napping in her play pen. He immediately felt panicked.
"Hey baby girl what are you doing?" he had a feeling he wouldn't like her answer but he needed to know. "I'm just packing mine and Analia's things." Ok so this was bad his wife, his baby girl, his god given solace, his everything was leaving him he needed to stop her but the coldness of what she had just told him had him frozen in place. He needed to move!
"No your not, now tell me mama what has you trying to leave me? Did I upset you? Just tell me whatever I did baby so I can fix it" he tried to pull her into his arms and give her a kiss she backed away quick as if my touch had burned her. He felt sick, this cant be happening! Oh but it was cause she just kept on throwing her things in a suitcase. I began taking her things out and putting them back where they belonged. "Derek I don't want to talk to you ever again! Let me pack mine and lia's things in peace. You can keep on putting my things back but it doesn't make a difference we are still moving out either way all those things are replaceable, I can always buy new ones!" he didn't know what to do he wished there were some magic words he could say to make her stay.
"Why don't you want to talk to me ever again? You cant leave me baby I wont allow it you're my everything I love you and our daughter to death if you left me my world wouldn't make any sense please tell me what's wrong I'm begging you! Are you pregnant? Last time you were this emotional and upset you were and if that's the case talk to me beautiful let me take care of you-" he was cut off as he watched pen remove her wedding ring from her finger set it on the dresser, pick up the baby and walk out the room to go down stairs. He raced after her pleading for her not to do this. "Please baby girl don't go your killing me here I don't even know what I did wrong I want to fix it, please let me fix it I love you!" when they got downstairs she laid Lia down in her baby hammock. I tried to hold her and give her a kiss she yanked away from me and that's when she finally spoke.
"You make me sick, you see that I'm leaving so you start telling me how you love us how were your everything.. But truly were not. My beautiful daughter and I aren't enough for you hot stuff, obviously if we were you wouldn't of been cheating on me! Using my daughter and I just for show, well sorry to ruin all the fun you've been having while I've been busy here raising the daughter you were supposed to raise with me but the fun you've been having behind your wife's back ends right now! Want to know why Derek? Because we are over, have been from the moment you met Tamara Barnes. I want a divorce sooner rather then later! Pen spat at Derek angrily, crying her eyes out she looked so heart broken. The one man that vowed to never do any of these things had officially broken her.
They just stared at each other for a few moment tears streaming down both of there faces, they heard a little giggle and looked over. Lia must of woken up when pen was yelling at Derek. Pen walked towards her immediately wiping the tears from her face to give her four month old the most sincere smile she could. "Hey my gorgeous baby what are you over here giggling about huh?" Lia just smiled at her mommy and giggled again. "Your such a happy baby girl, are you ready to go bye bye?" pen picked the baby up then grabbed her purse and made her way toward the door to leave.
Derek hadn't sed anything just watched his daughter and now soon to be ex wife gosh, he hated that! No, no, no this cant happen I cant let her leave me. "Pen I'm sorry, I know that's not good enough but baby please I'm begging you PLEASE don't leave me. I love you and Lia so much life without you two here isn't a life worth living to me. I'm so sorry ill do whatever it takes to make it work with you baby" Derek was on his knees begging for forgiveness. "Your bridges are burned with me Derek you and I are exactly that 'you' and 'I' no longer a 'us' You want to apologize handsome? Apologize to our daughter, for lying to her when you sed you were at work doing paper work when truthfully you were with another woman who wasn't her mommy. Its completely your loss Derek you could have been here spending time with her. I couldn't imagine spending my evenings any other way. And most importantly apologize to her for not being a daddy to her because Derek I can find myself a husband that wont cheat on me but Lia.. She'll never find another daddy that'll love her as much as her real daddy should of" with that sed pen walked outside to her suv put her baby girl in her car seat jumped in the driver seat Derek had followed her out and was pleading again for her not to go she glanced at him before starting the vehicle and sed " I just have one question. Was it worth it? and despites his protest she drove off to start a new life away from Derek.
He just stood there for an hour after she drove off trying to let everything that just happened sink in. He walked back inside the first thing he glanced at was a picture frame that had a picture of the two of them on the left, a ultra sound of analia in the middle, and there first family photo on the right picking it up he cried "No baby girl's it wasn't worth it, nothings worth loosing you two."
