Penelope sighed happily as she closed the oven door after checking on the turkey, JJ giggled and said, "ohhhhhh that smells wonderful", she said, "thank you Jayje, I know that I usually don't eat meat but that smells so good that I'm thinking that I'm going to tonight". Emily took a sip of her wine and said, "sooooo are you going to tell him tonight"?, she looked up and said, "tell who what"?, Emily said, "ohhhhh stop playing coy with me Penelope Garcia you suck at it".
JJ picked up a cracker and took a bite and said, "come on Garcie you know that you want to tell him", she said, "I don't know what you two girlies are talking about Jayje". Emily turned her head to the side and said, "Penelope Garcia you are head over heels with your hotstuff the one and only Derek Morg" and Penelope ran over and put her hand over her friends mouth and said, "shhhhhhhh he'll hear you".
They looked up when 4 year old Henry Reid ran into the room and said, "momma tan we eat now"?, she ruffled his hair and said, "it won't be long buddy", he smiled and said, "yayyyyy" and turned and ran out of the room. Emily crossed her arms and said, "now PG spill it", Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "I plead guilty as charged girlies" causing all three girls to giggle.
Derek looked over his shoulder and said, "I wonder what has their titter boxes turned on "?, Dave said, "quit stalling Morgan are you going to tell her or not"?, he said, "old man I don't know what you are talking about". Fran walked downstairs and kissed her husband on the lips and said, "don't pick on my baby boy", Derek grinned and said, "thanks momma".
Fran said, "no problem baby boy but seriously when are you going to tell Penelope that you are in love with her"?, Derek spit his beer causing Reid and Hotch to laugh as they watched him wipe it off his mouth. Derek said, "momma if you don't lower your voice she'll hear you", Dave said, "kid if you don't tell her soon there is a chance that somebody else will sweep her up again".
Derek took a deep breath and said, "d d do you know something, is baby girl dating"?, Fran patted him on the shoulder and said, "I'm going to help the girls in the other room so you boys can talk". After his mom was gone Derek said, "pretty boy is Penelope dating anybody"?, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "how am I supppose to know Morgan"?, Derek said, "well you usually do" causing him to grin wickedly as he took a sip of his drink.
Fran walked over and said, "is there anything I can do to help"?, Emily said, "we are trying to convince Penelope to tell her sugar shack how much she truly loves him and wants to be with him". Fran said, "well how's it going"?, JJ said, "we're not sure yet", Penelope said, "what if I tell him and he laughs at me"?, Emily said, "you don't have to worry about that PG he won't laugh, I promise".
Meanwhile in the living room 6 year old Jack Hotchner walked over to Derek and said, "even I know that you and aunt P belong together", Derek laughed and said, "ohhh you do huh"?, he put his hands on Dereks shoulders and said, "well duhhhhhhhhh uncle Derek". The puzzled man looked around and said, "does everybody know that I'm in love with Penelope"?, everybody voice in the room said, "yeppppppppp" causing him to sigh and blow out a breath.
A few minutes later Fran walked to the door and said, "dinner's ready", everybody got up and headed into the beautifully decorated dining room, Derek said, "you really went all out for today didn't you Dave"?, he said, "that would be all on my beautiful wife, your mother". Derek said, "well her two favorite holidays have always been Thanksgiving and Christmas".
They looked up to see the girls carrying in the rest of the food, Derek took the turkey and said, "here sweetness let me take that for you", she smiled and said, "why thank you hotstuff". He winked at her and said, "anything for you baby girl", everybody sat down at the table and Jack said, "wowwwwwwww look at that turkey Henry that sucker's huge".
Henry nodded his head in agreement and said, "it suwe is", after a blessing was given over the food Dave said, "alright everybody dig in", everybody then started to reach across the table to fill their plates. Penelope glanced at Derek and he glanced at her, they both bit down on their bottom lips and then in unison said, "I have something to say" causing the group to turn and look at the couple as they waited to hear what they had to say.
