Six months later
"Derek..." Desiree gasped before she dashed forward, hugging her brother the moment she opened the door. "What are you doing here?"
"What?" You're not going to allow me to come inside?" Morgan smiled.
"Of course not, come in." Desiree moved aside, allowing her brother to walk in." Mom, check who is here... Your sweet little son."
Fran walked in,moments later, wiping her hand with a towel. "Derek, honey, what a pleasant surprise."
"Hey, momma." Derek smiled, before embracing his mother with a big hug.
"Sarah will be back soon, come on, let's have some family time." Fran said before she took her kids to her kitchen.

"So, what brought you here?" Desiree asked as she passed Morgan a clean blanket.
"Nothing, what... I can't even visit my family?" Morgan asked before he jumped on his favorite bed.
Desiree sat on the edge of the bed. "Derek... I was about to tell you..."
"Something is going on between you and Reid..." Morgan sat up, facing her sister.
Desiree signed. She closed her eyes, took a inhale deeply, before she looked back at Morgan. "I am falling for him, Derek."
Morgan could see a deep concern behind her beautiful eyes. "Des, sweetheart, you know I wouldn't be angry with all these, in fact, I am glad it is him..."
Desiree cut in before Morgan could further talk. "But he is not, he is not ready to risk the thing he has with you."
"I told him before that I won't mind if you guys are into each other,"
"I know, he told me that." Desiree ran her fingers through her hair. "God... It is so complicated."
"No, it is not."Morgan said before he moved forward and took a seat beside Desiree. "Des, look at me." Morgan lifted her chin, gaining her eye contact.
Desiree blinked a few times, strongly holding her tears back, but failed miserably as the tears rolled down her cheeks.
"You really like him, don't you?" Morgan asked.
Desiree nodded, pushing Morgan's hand off her chin.
"Do you know something?" Morgan asked, again gaining back Desiree attention.
"What?" Desiree wiped off her tears.
Morgan smiled, "He likes you."
"You don't know that." Desiree said.
"I am your big brother, believe me when I said he likes you."
Desiree raised her eyebrows, lost in confusion. Morgan inhaled before he began, "I know something was wrong, Reid was one kind, and whenever I talked to you, you were lost in some world of yours, so I made some connection and did my own investigation, look what I have found."
Desiree looked at his brother hopefully. "Let me put an end to this." Morgan said before he picked up his phone.
"Derek." Reid's voice comes up through the speaker.
"Hey, kid."Morgan spoke, looking at Desiree. "Guess who is with me?"
There were few moments of silence before Morgan decided to speak. "Come on guys, we all know what is going on here." Again, Morgan lost his patient when no one decided to speak.
"Okay, Reid... You like her and Des, you like him, I am very clear about this, you have all my blessings for this relationship. Reid, I am still going to say the same thing, I trust that you will take care of my little sis..." Morgan handed over the phone to Desiree. "Talk to your boyfriend and get all the things sorted out and for God sake, let me out of this."
Desiree took the phone from Morgan, smiled in gratitude as she watched her brother crashing on his bed. Morgan pulled his blanket over his head, "Just because you have my blessings, it doesn't mean you can do anything.
"Oh, shut up, Derek." Desiree mumbled before she walked out of the room. "Hey." Desiree whispered.
"Hey." Reid responded. There were few moments of silence before Reid spoke again. "I am sorry."
"For what?" Desiree asked.
"For not being able to tell what I really felt about you."
Desiree felt a lot lighter and finally she could smile. "I can understand"
"Desiree," Reid called "I really like you, do you think you can forgive me and give me a chance ? I want to start all over, one by one."
"Baby steps." Desiree agreed "One at a time."
"Desiree."
"Hmm," Desiree hummed in response to Reid's calling
"I... I love you."
