Penelope Garcia was standing and looking out her living room window watching as the snow fell down on the ground, she crossed her arms and sighed as she remembered past Christmas's with her BAU family in Virginia. She was currently in California with her brothers as she was caring for her elderly grandmother.
She looked over her shoulder when her grandma said, "honey why don't you come over here and talk to me for a little while", she smiled as she walked over and sat down beside her. Her grandma Sarah said, "sweetheart why don't you tell me a little about him"?, she looked puzzled and said, "tell you about who grandma"?, she cupped her grandaughters face in her hands and said, "the man that has stolen your heart".
Penelope said, "grandma I've done something so stupid", Sarah laughed and said, "what have you done"?, she said, "I've fallen in love with my very best friend in the whole world". Sarah laid her head back against the chair and said, "why don't you tell me about him and the rest of your wonderful friends".
She sighed happily and said, "well grandma bossman is an awesome man, he is such a special person you would love him, you would really love all of my friends". Sarah said, "I don't doubt that at all Penelope, not at all", Penelope said, "Hotch aka bossman is married to Emily and they have two of the the sweetest kids in the world, Jack age 5 and Tina age 2".
Sarah said, "what about this Jayje you are talking about"?, she grinned and said, "she is my best female friend gran she is married to a wonderful man named Spencer Reid". She listened as Penelope talked about JJ and Reids to sons Henry and Eric, Henry was 4 and Eric was only a few months old when Penelope had left on leave to help take care of her grandma.
Penelope said, "and then my italian stallion known to the public as David Rossi is an amazing man, he is a wonderful writer", Sarah nodded her head and said, "I know, I've read a few of his books, he is very talented". Penelope nodded her head and said, "that he is gran, that he is and he happens to be married to hotstuffs mom Fran".
Sarah watched as Penelope beamed as she talked about what a great mom Fran was and she filled her grandma in on Dereks two sisters Sarah and Desiree who grinned and said, "ohhhhhhh I love his sisters name". Penelope laughed and said, "I love you gran", she patted Penelope on the top of the head and said, "I love you to baby".
After a few minutes Sarah said, "now that you've told me all about the rest of your team why don't you tell me about this hotstuff of yours", she once again started beaming as she told about Derek. She went on and on about how handsome he was and how he was so kind, loving, sweet and without a doubt the strongest man she had ever met".
She filled her grandma in on everything important that happened between them from the first time he called her by the wrong name up until she left to come to California. Sarah said, "you're right he does sound like an amazing man", she wiped away a tear and said, "oh he is grandma, he is one of the best men I have ever met in my life"
Penelope said, "I only want everybody to have a wonderful life gran because they all deserve to be happy", sarah said, "you deserve to be happy and have a husband and children". Penelope sighed as Sarah grinned and said, "one day you are going to make a great mother and who knows maybe you can marry this best friend of yours", she shrugged her shoulders and said, "I don't think so grandma, I'm soooooo not the type of woman my hotstuff goes for".
Sarah laughed and said, "just what kind of girls does he go for"?, she looked down at the ground and said, "beautiful, smart, loving, ya know the model type". Sarah said, "then you are his type because you are beautiful, smart and the most loving person", Penelope said, "you are a little biased aren't you gran"?, she nodded her head and said, "of course I am but that doesn't make it true".
Penelope smiled and said, "thanks gran", Sarah yawned and said, "can you help me to bed sweetie, I'm tired and would like to nap for a while"?, she stood up and said, "sure grandma". After helping her grandma into the bed Penelope covered her up and kissed her on the cheek and said, "I love you so much grandma".
Sarah grinned and said, "I love you to honey and who knows maybe, just maybe you will get the one thing you want most for Christmas", Penelope nodded her head and said, "maybe buttttt we'll talk about that later". Sarah nodded her head and said, "alright sweetie, later", Penelope then turned and headed toward the open bedroom door.
She walked down the stairs and into the living room and started to sit down in front of the fireplace when there was a knock at the door, she took a deep breath as she headed toward the door. She put her hand on the knob and opened the door and saw the face of the one and only Derek Morgan standing in front of her.
He smiled and said, "hi baby girl", before throwing his arms around her, he smelled her hair and jasmin scented body wash and said, "god how I've missed you". Penelopes heart raced as she wrapped her amrs tighter around the only man that had ever owned her heart, when they pulled apart she said, "what are you doing here, I thought you were spending Christmas with your family".
Derek said, "I was here working with a detective on a case and was getting ready to head to Chicago when my plane was delayed, it seems that we have a 24 hour layover and I couldn't think of anything I wanted more than to spend Christmas with my favorite girl". She smiled and said, "really"?, he laughed and said, "yes really".
She smiled and said, "there's nothing I want more than to spend Christmas with you to hotstuff", he cupped her face in his hands and leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers. Penelopes heart raced as she wrapped her arms around him and deepened the kiss and when they pulled apart he whispered, "baby girl we need to talk".
