I wish - want a thing like this to happen in season 9. We need some MP, I miss them lots... It's not the same anymore :(
Anyway, I hope you will enjoy this..

It was about 7:00 am when Morgan walked out of the elevator on the sixth floor at Quantico, he looked into the bullpen, it was empty, not even Rossi or Hotch where here yet. Morgan had been down in the gym for an early work out. He preferred to work out alone, in silence, it was easier to get the job done and keep the focus then. Morgan walked towards his office, he dumped the bag on the floor and sat down in the chair at his desk. He leaned back and closed his eyes, when he heard a sound. He opened one eye and then he saw how the iPad in front of him lit up. He took it and looked at it, he saw it was an incoming call. He smiled when he saw read the name of the caller. Gently he touched the 'answer button' and a familiar face made an appearance on the screen.
"Hi", she said with a soft voice.
"Hey you, I thought you would be asleep by now. Isn't the clock like, what, 2am at you?" Derek said and looked at her trough the screen. He didn't see much, except from her face, she looked tired, her dark hair surrounded her face, and her dark brown orbs looked back at him. Morgan caught a bit of the background, he could see that she was in her kitchen, because he could identify the color of the walls, which had a soft whit shape and it only existed in the kitchen of her apartment.
"You're right, I should be asleep, but I just got back from a case and wanted to say 'hi' first." She yawned and looked back at him. "What about you? The clock is just 7am in your time. We never needed to be at the office that early." She continued. Derek smirked, over the fact that she remembered things like that, even though it had been almost a year since she had left. But on the other hand, she'd been working there in six years.
"No, but I was down in the gym… And honestly, I hoped that you would call." Derek said and looked her in the eye. She looked back at him and then she smiled.
"Yeah… You must keep up that strong sexy core, right?" she winked at him, both of them remembered it, from a conversion they had years ago. Derek laughed, he missed her jokes, and he just missed her strong, funny energy. "Haha… Yeah. But I think it worth it..." he said teasily and he saw how she rolled her eyes. But then she bit her bottom lip and saw him in the eyes.
"It's definitely worth it…" she said dreamily. He smirked. He loved to talk with her, but it wasn't the same as meting her I person.
"I miss you Em." Derek said with a low voice. She looked back at him, he could see the feelings in her eyes, missing. She missed him too, sure she missed all of them, but most him. She had never thought it would be this hard, that she would miss him this much…
"I miss you too.." she said softly. "All of you." She added. She missed her old team too, a lot. She didn't miss the work so much, but she definitely missed her old team, even if she had moved across the Atlantic, they were still her family. They would always be, no matter what, she would always be a part of the family. She missed the girl's night with JJ and Garcia, they were like sisters to her. Reid, she missed the genius boy, even all his facts and statistics. He were like a younger brother to her. She missed Rossi too, the older profiler, who had always been the father figure she never had. Hotch, she missed her old boss too, he'd been a really good friend, and a good chief. He never treated any of them as a lower workers, he treated them as equals, even though he was the boss. Derek's voice took her back to the reality…
"They miss you too, Em. Do you know how mad Garcia was at me when I got back, after visiting you. She was really mad, but I couldn't have told her anything, because it wasn't planed." Derek said. She could just imagine how the blonde techie had been, she smiled.
"No it wasn't. You surprised me when you showed up outside my apartment. I almost couldn't believe it." She said half laughing.
"No, I almost didn't know what I was doing either. After what happen with 'The Replicator'… and Strauss… I knew I wanted to get away and I that I needed you." Derek said, honestly. His thoughts flashed back to the memories… but he quickly pushed them away.
"Yeah… It was terrible, I mean I never exactly liked her, but she didn't deserve what she had to go through, but neither of you did... I'm just glad it ended quite okay anyway." She said with a low voice. She remembered when Derek had showed up at her apartment, he had said anything, he'd just hugged her. It had taken her hours to get him to pull himself together to tell what had happened. She caught his stare glance, she could see that he wanted to change the subject, even though it had been about three months ago.
"Yeah… You know it have just been three weeks ago since I visited you last time, but it feels like three months…" Derek said with a bit of sadness in his voice. He had been visited her almost four times this summer, visit which had lasted at least two, three weeks.
"I know.. I really hope this will work..." she swallowed. "I don't doubt it, but it just so hard sometimes..." she signed. Derek nodded, he knew, sometimes was really hard, those times when he missed her like crazy.
"I know we'll make it work Em, it's still fresh and it's new ground for both of us. But we've been avoiding our feelings for each other in so many years, but I know what I feel for you is strong." Derek paused. "It will be hard times, but the good thing then, is that we can do this. And Hotch and Beth does it too, it works pretty well for them. Oh and Blake and her husband too, they've been in a long distance relationship for years. So why wouldn't we fix it?" Derek said, he actually felt optimistic, even though he knew it was going to be hard. But then he saw her smiling at him.
"You're right Derek. It's still new, but I know we can make it work. And you know, we'll enjoy the time with each other more, than if we would meet every day." Derek smiled at her, they could do this, together. He didn't doubt their love and he knew she didn't either. Just as she was about to something, Derek saw in the corner of his eye, how someone appeared in the doorway to his office.
Hotch stood there, he just looked at him. Derek figured he had guessed who he was talking to, since Hotch was in the same position, he knew how precious those times where. It made Hotch's thoughts wander to Beth, he remained himself that he would call her when he got home again, but right now work was calling.
"Sorry Morgan, but we have a case, meeting in the roundtable room." Hotch said, before he left. Derek sighed and turned his eyes back to the iPad screen.
"A case?" she asked, but it sounded more like a statement. He just nodded.
"Sorry, but I need to go." He shook his head.
"I know. But we talk again soon and I will be visiting in just a few weeks, remember?" she smiled, even though she was sad that he needed to go. But after all, she needed to go to sleep.
"Yeah, we do. And you, Princess, need to go and get you beauty sleep." He said and winked, she rolled her eyes, bit smiled at him.
"Yeah, I better go to sleep. Good luck with the case." She said and yawed, she hadn't released how tired she actually was.
"Thanks.." Derek answered, but then he locked his eyes with hers, the looked each other deep in the eyes.
"I love you Emily." Derek said. She looked back at him and smiled.
"I love you too, Derek."
