Some Burned Bridges Can Be Repaired
Chapter 1
I Never Said He Was Dead
AN: I don't own anything. Okay so my last story got me thinking about this, what if William Morgan didn't die instead he went undercover, and he was under longer than he even thought he would be, let alone his wife and three children. This story is set right after Emily arrives to the BAU. Kathy thanks for the help again.
"What are you doing, baby girl?" Derek asked walking in the door of their house. He'd had to teach the Bureau's self defense class that night so it was almost nine now, he was just glad it was twice a month and on Thursdays, the same night that JJ and Penelope would have their usual girls night in.
"Well, Jayje canceled on me, because she had to go over something, we might be getting a case in the morning, so I thought we could have little fun tonight," Penelope said, "The kids are with Haley and Hotch, so we are free to do it on anything we want and anywhere we want to," she replied.
"Does that mean here?" Morgan asked before he kissed her, they'd been married for almost two years and had twin one year old daughters Britney and Harmony. Lately it had become hard to have few minutes alone together with all the cases and the twins starting to walk. They had baby proofed everything in the house that the infants could reach and couldn't reach. Penelope was still trying to figure out how to get in the cabinets. She'd claimed he'd baby and Penelope proofed the house.
"Yes, here, the deck, the back of your truck, handsome," Pen replied wrapping her arms around his waist.
"Bedroom," Morgan said before leading the way. Soon as he got inside he started kissing her, he needed his baby girl. He walked her backwards till she hit the bed before the both fell onto it not breaking the kiss.
"I need you, handsome," she replied.
"Sorry baby girl I need you more," Morgan said before rolling her over, got up getting rid of his clothes before getting back on the bed. it had been month since he'd been home more than one day, the cases had been going nonstop and they hadn't even had chance to be together alone.
"I bet you do, hot stuff," Pen said before kissing him. she wasn't concerned about foreplay she just wanted her husband, but she knew he'd try it, he could drive her crazy if he really wanted too, but month without having sex with him was too damn long. Morgan started kissing path down her neck, but before he could go any farther she flipped them again before sinking down on him. "I said I need you, that means inside me, I can wait for those other things, this I can't," Pen said kissing him as she started moving. She wasn't risking him getting another phone call and they had to go to work. Twice now that had happened, not again, she needed her husband and best friend.
"You should do this more often," Derek joked before letting out a moan when she started moving faster.
Pen kissed him so he'd stopped talking, she let her hands wonder around his chest and sides, three years together, two married, she still could get wet just looking at him.
Morgan moved his hands up to her hips holding her still before he thrust up into her making her cry out. That noise drove him crazy, he never could resist getting her to make that noise, what it did to him she'd never know because he couldn't explain it.
"Derek, oh god, I'm so close," She moaned leaning down again and kissing him, before whispering in his ear, "Come on, handsome, make me scream," she baited him before he flipped them over kissing her holding her wrists as he started moving faster, it wasn't long before they both lost it, and she was moaning as he filled her, however, she was trying to hold off just one more second, but when he thrust inside hitting her g-spot and womb she lost it crying out letting her nails dig into his shoulder as she came arching into him.
Morgan rolled them over pulling her into his side once she'd come down from her bliss. "I'll never get tired of you," he said kissing her.
"You ever go a month without satisfying your wife and baby girl again you will be in a world of pain, hot stuff," Pen said snuggling up against his chest.
"I promise, even if JJ says now I'll finish what I started," Derek said with smile.
"You better, because leaving your wife like that was just mean," Pen said, "Seven hours home and you're gone again, with me being as horny as I was, so not funny."
"Don't blame me, tell the bad guys that, they are the ones that keep having us interrupted," Morgan said.
"Then after this next case we are taking vacation, you me, the kids are going to your mom's for her birthday this year," Penelope said, "It's in couple weeks, and by the time this case is over we should just stay behind and go to Chicago from there," she replied.
"Pen, I don't know," Morgan said.
"Yes you do, you always say that every year, right before your mom's birthday and without fail you go, we both go like usual and for week we have fun and she gets to see us and the kids," she replied, "We can have sex in your old room while Sarah watches the twins again," she said with wicked grin.
"You know how to make me want to go and that's not fair," he said, it wasn't that he didn't want to go and see his mom and sisters it was the other part about going home that he really didn't want to deal with. The drama that came with being back in Chicago, most the time Pen and him stayed their during the day, last year they'd stayed there the whole time since Fran refused to let them go anywhere else.
Pen was about to start kissing him again when the phone rang, "No, it is too soon," she replied with groan, "I've only had you here for a day," she complained with pout.
"Don't you worry, I'm sure I could convince JJ and Emily to share a room again," he teased, "Long as you don't get mad at me this time."
"I wasn't mad, handsome, I was six months pregnant and wanted you, but you were too moody, and I wasn't staying with a moody asshole," She said with smile.
"Ha, I said I was tired and really wasn't in the mood except to cuddle, you being hormonal flipped out on me," Derek said with smile before getting his phone, "I promise not to be moody this time," he said before answering the phone.
"Where have you been?" JJ asked him.
"Well I'm sorry I was trying to enjoy some time with my wife is that a crime?" he asked at her tone of voice.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to snap at you, I've been on a phone for the last hour with a CPD Chief of Police and I think I'd prefer you any day," JJ said.
"Huh?" Derek asked confused, "Well thanks sis, but I'm not going to Chicago police force again, I'm staying right here," he said with laugh, "So what can I do for yah sis?" he asked, "Less you called just to distract Pen and me from sex then I suggest it be good reason," he teased.
"Sorry, we got a case, and Pen's gotta come with, Hotch is on his way here already, said to tell you the twins are with Haley and she's keeping them till we get back, so just get here soon as you can," JJ said.
"Alright, we'll be there half hour tops," Morgan said.
"Oh and Hotch wants to see you and Pen before we go, something about the case, I don't know, just said he wanted to talk to you two," JJ said before she hung up.
"So where are you going, handsome?" Penelope asked.
"It's we, you're coming with, and we gotta talk to Hotch first," he said going to get dressed.
Half hour later Morgan and Penelope were walking out the elevator into the bull pen. Hotch was already in the conference room waiting on them before the rest the team got debriefed.
"Hey, so what did you need us for?" Penelope asked.
"We need to have little chat, if you two don't' want to go I'll understand, and I can send the computers here for you to look at, but I really don't want any drama there," Hotch said.
"Why in hell would it be drama?" Morgan asked.
"JJ got phone call from the COP earlier tonight and for the last five years now I could have sworn you said your dad was dead," Hotch said looking at Morgan.
"I never said he was dead," Derek said, "I said I lost him when I was ten, there is a big difference," he replied, "I'm over it, and I can handle being in the same room with him," he said.
Hotch looked between Penelope and Derek, he hadn't missed the fact that Pen had took hold her husband's hand soon as he mentioned the fact his dad wasn't dead. "Alright, but Penelope's coming, no way am I going to risk you going off all of a sudden, and I know you," Hotch replied, "I want you helping her go through the computers, they have them set up in a integration room since most the victims had more than one computer," he said.
"Hotch," Morgan said about to object, but Penelope cut him off instead.
"Hot stuff, listen to him, it's either this or we are stuck here in Virginia, and I for one want to go there, it will be easier," she said.
"Fine, but I'm going with when you catch the guy," Derek said.
Hotch agreed before he went to get the others so they could do quick debriefing before taking off.
After they went over the case more on the plane Derek and Penelope went to the couch farther way from the others so they could talk. "You gotta tell the others too," Pen said when she sat down beside him, "Because, handsome them finding out when we get there, not going to be good," she said.
"We got four hours, it can wait," Derek said not wanting to deal with this now.
"Derek, listen to me, I get it, it sucks like hell the way things went, but you gotta stop doing this, every time we go there you act like he isn't even there, it's gotta stop, and this is a good time for it to start, the twins are with Haley and we have a case," Penelope said.
"I know where my kids are at," Derek said.
"Stop it, don't you dare do this now, Hotch have you benched at the hotel if you dare start, and I need you there with me," Pen said, "I promise I'll do as much interference as I can, but when this case is over the three us are sitting down and we're going to have talk, because a decade without talking to your dad is not right," she added.
"I didn't start it, he did, six months my ass," Derek said before he got up to get something to drink.
Penelope groaned, this was going to be one tough case, and not because they had six dead women without any connection to each other so far, besides their deaths and age. Getting father and son to actually talk to each other was going to be the hard part. She just wished that things were different, and that maybe she could try and help repair the bridges that were burned over the last twenty-three years. The road went both ways she knew that, but it had started when William Morgan went undercover for six months, which turned into six years.
Pen knew about what had happened in those six years, Derek had told her few months after they'd started dating, when he'd taken her home to see his mom and sisters for the first time. She had never wished death on a person, but after what she'd found out about a certain man who'd deceived her husband she'd wanted to kill him, thankfully somebody else had done that. The man had been shot and killed by somebody that had found out what he'd been doing instead of just helping kids; he'd been abusing them too. Derek had been one of them, and she knew even now it still got to him at times, especially with cases that had to deal with kids and the Unsubs that abused and killed them too.
Jeff Daniels had shot and killed Carl Buford after he'd caught him trying to do little more than molest one the kids he claimed he'd been helping. Jeff was William's best friend, and the only real father figure that Derek had had for the last twenty some years. He still was that person to Derek, and it wasn't like William had done anything to change that when he'd gotten back. He'd been distant and even the first couple years back had been horrible strain on his marriage to Fran, but they'd gotten through it, however the damage had been done between him and Derek.
They'd been so close before he'd gone under, Fran had told her how they'd hung out so many times, and that Derek would stay at the station with him sometimes after school till William got off work. Saturday's they'd spend outside playing football or catch most the day. Desiree had been too little to join in, and Sarah had claimed it was too boring for her at fifteen. It had been just the two them, and it was hard to believe they'd gone from that to not even talking to each other. It was heartbreaking, she'd tried the last three years to work her magic on their relationship, but so far it was a stale mate, neither would even speak to the other.
Jeff had stepped in for so long being the dad that Derek had needed especially after what had happened with Buford. He still was, but not even Jeff had been able to help repair what father and son had once, it wasn't that he hadn't wanted the role, and he'd done the best he possible could, but not even that had been enough. He'd told Penelope about everything in hopes that she could help him this year, because Deb, his wife, Fran's best friend had told him what she wanted for her birthday, her son and husband talking again. It was going to be hard, but she hoped that maybe she could help him and give her mother in-law the best birthday present in years, besides her grandbabies she'd wanted.
Penelope got up and went towards the other team members, she'd seen Derek go into the bathroom so she had few minutes.
"I need all of you all's help," Pen said, "I know we're working a case, but after the case, I need your help giving Fran the birthday present she wants," she said.
"Why are you talking so low?" Emily asked her, she was new to the team and didn't know about certain things, this was one of them.
"The birthday present she wants is her husband and son talking to each other again," JJ said remembering what Penelope had told her few days ago.
"Derek's not close with his step dad?" Emily asked.
"No, he doesn't have a step dad, he has a dad, long story short, undercover work is a bitch and six months turned into six years, a lot things happened while William was under and that pretty much destroyed his relationship with his son," Pen said, "I've been trying for three years now without success, but his mom wants that for her birthday present, and I'm not letting her down," she added.
"We'll help, but try and keep things civil before this case is over," Hotch said, "I just don't want family problems coming to heads when we get there, while we're working the case," he said, even though it would be a lot of tension and he knew that.
"Wait, the Chief of Police that we are helping is Derek's dad?" Reid asked before looking up to see Morgan coming towards them.
"No, he doesn't even come close to who my dad was," Derek said, he should have know his wife would start with the repairing their relationship again, "And I told you to stay out of it, woman, I am not going to pretend like it's okay, it will never be okay again."
"You two were best friends once, he's your dad whether you like it or not, and you two are just alike," Pen said.
"No, the only thing we have in common is a last name," he replied.
Hotch groaned, this was headed for a fight between the two them, "Put a cork in it now, or Derek will be at the hotel and he won't be doing anything on this case,"
The rest the team waited to see if there was anything going to be said and were shocked when Morgan just walked away not saying anything, he looked like he'd just been told his dog was dead.
"Aaron Hotchner," Penelope said, "You really trying to make him snap at you too, of all the things you could said, have you learned nothing over the last few years?" she asked.
"Sorry," Hotch said before Penelope walked away.
"No wonder Gideon told you to tread lightly," JJ said, "Which reminds me, is he going to be there?" she asked.
"Yeah, Jason's going to meet us there later today, he's already there, he was going to come back before we got the case," Hotch said, "I didn't even know Derek's dad was alive till today," he admitted, "Apparently I lost my dad at ten doesn't mean the same as it used to." He replied.

AN: Okay I decided to put Jeff and Deb from my last story in this one too, but it's completely different as you can see. Hope you all enjoy and if you got couple ideas let me know, I'm playing by ear at the moment trying to figure out where to go with this, cases are hard for me to write, but I'm going to do my best. Thanks for the reviews in advance.
