Sorry, I meant to have this chapter posted yesterday, but the site wouldn't let me upload it. So here's the epilogue! Hope you like it! And as always thanks for all your reviews!
Four months later…
Morgan grinned as he walked into the break room to get some fresh coffee. He saw Penelope sitting at the table with JJ and Emily and winked at her on his way to the coffee pot. After the amazing weekend they had only a few months ago he found his mind wondering to her even more then it usually did and he seemed to be grinning more then he had in years. And why shouldn't he be happy? He had everything he wanted now that Penelope was officially his.
He had the feeling that the rest of the team was starting to get suspicious. On more than one occasion he caught Reid watching him as if he was trying to figure something out. JJ and Emily could often be found glancing knowingly at each other whenever Penelope and he were in the same room. Hotch of course already knew of their new relationship and promised to do everything in his power to make sure the wicked witch of the BAU couldn't interfere with them. Rossi seemed to know something was different the minute they walked into the office after that first weekend because he had smirked and later on warned him to 'turn off the cameras' when Morgan said he was going to Garcia's office.
Morgan had been contemplating a way to officially tell the team for a few weeks now. He was planning on asking Penelope to move in with him, since most of her things were at his house anyways, and he wanted the team to know about them before he did.
With those thoughts running through his head he turned away from the coffee pot and leaned on the counter, not bothering to hide the way his eyes immediately began to roam over Penelope.
She glanced over at him and he grinned while taking a sip of coffee. When she smiled back mischievously with a familiar glint in her eyes he knew she was up to something. He cocked an eyebrow and continued to watch her while she went back to the conversation with Emily and JJ.
Reid walked in a few seconds later and began to make his own cup of coffee and that's when he found out what his baby girl was up to. He watched curiously as she reached into her lunch bag and pulled something out. He nearly choked on his coffee when he saw what it was.
"Morgan? Are you alright?" Reid asked looking at him with a puzzled look.
Morgan couldn't seem to form words, so instead just nodded while he stared at Penelope who was holding a pickle. 'Damn' he thought as he felt his pants getting tighter.
His eyes widened when Penelope suddenly began to suck on the tip of the pickle. Ever since that blissful weekend he had never been able to look or even think of a pickle the same way. It always led to naughty thoughts that would eventually lead to mind blowing sex with his glorious love goddess.
But they were at work. He couldn't do any of the things he wanted to here, at least not after the incident with Hotch walking into Penelope's office without knocking. Hotch still gave him a threatening look whenever he headed toward Garcia's office.
This was not fair. She was torturing him and she knew he couldn't do anything about it for another four and a half hours at least and that was as long as they didn't get a case.
'Oh God.' He thought when his knees started to feel weak as Penelope enclosed her lips around half the pickle before slowly pulling it away.
He was only faintly aware of Reid still standing next him. His whole attention was focused solely on Penelope.
Suddenly JJ stood up, followed by Emily, and then his baby girl. As JJ and Emily tossed what was left of their lunch in a near by garbage can Penelope walked over to him with a sweet smile. She stopped just in front of him, giving him a generous view of her cleavage, before smirking and tossing the pickle and her other garbage into the small waste bin next to him. She smiled mischievously at him and blew him a kiss before walking away with Emily and JJ.
Morgan watched her retreating form and was hypnotized by her slightly swaying hips and bouncing curls. With an intense look on his face he left his coffee on the counter and walked passed Reid who was still watching him with obvious confusion. The girls separated as they went to their respective desks and Morgan followed Penelope to her office.
When he finally reached her bunker he opened the door without bothering to knock and then closed it with a snap behind him. He stalked over to where she was sitting with a smirk on her face and pulled her up from the chair before capturing her lips in a hungry kiss.
He wrapped his arms around her waist and when they eventually had to come up for air he rested his forehead against hers.
"Baby girl, if you wanted to kill me there are a lot less painful ways to do it." He said in a deep, rough voice with a hint of teasing.
"Yes, but what would the fun of that be?" She said innocently, but with that same mischievous glint in her eyes.
He laughed slightly before leaning down and nipping her bottom lip. "You are going to be in so much trouble when we get home, baby." He growled before nuzzling her neck playfully.
"Is that so, stud muffin?" She asked with a grin as she closed her eyes while he started kissing a trail down her neck.
"Oh yes, most definitely sweetness." He murmured into her shoulder.
He brought his lips back to hers and pulled her closer with one hand while the other roamed over her back before stopping to rest on her hip. She whimpered softly when his tongue swept into her mouth and she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulling him down closer. They were so caught up in each other that they jumped in shock when the door opened. They barely had time to pull apart and look up before the intruder spoke.
"Oh my God! I knew it!" Emily exclaimed with amusement in her voice and a grin. "Just wait till I tell Reid and JJ." She added and before they could say a word she was out the door again.
Morgan shook his head and laughed while Penelope buried her face in his chest. "Hot stuff, I really need to teach you how to lock a door." She said with a smile when she looked up at him.
"Sorry mamma, but my head was a little too preoccupied to worry about a door." He said with a grin and kissed her softly.
"I guess we don't have to worry about telling them any more." He added with a laugh.
"You sure you don't mind the whole team knowing?" She asked.
"Of course not. If I had it my way I'd be shouting it from the roof tops." He answered and caressed her cheek lightly. "Besides I was going to talk to you about telling them anyways, but now that we got that out of the way I guess I can go ahead and ask you about the second topic." He said and kissed the tip of her nose when he noticed the confused and slightly nervous look in her eyes.
"What's the second topic?" She asked.
"If you'll move in with me?" He half stated and half asked. "Or we can just buy a new home together if you want." He added when she didn't respond at first.
Suddenly she smiled excitedly and pulled him down for another kiss that made his heart pound in his chest. "I'd love to, handsome." She answered, her voice laced with emotion and her eyes shining happily.
Before he could say anything else the door was swung open again and JJ was walking in, followed closely by a grinning Emily and a smiling Reid. He laughed as JJ hugged Penelope, nearly knocking her off her feet in the process.
"So how long were you planning on trying to hide this from the rest of us?" JJ asked when she finally released Penelope.
Penelope laughed at her friends' enthusiasm and Morgan edged his way back toward her to wrap an arm around her waist, making the others smile wider.
A few minutes later Rossi wondered into the room as well and over the next half hour they answered all the questions that were thrown at them. The whole time Morgan kept his arm around Penelope or held her hand tightly in his with the occasional glance at each other. The whole team officially knowing about them seemed to set their relationship in stone and gave them an odd sense of contentment. It was reassuring to know their BAU family approved so enthusiastically.
Morgan glanced at Penelope again and they shared a look that conveyed just how much love there was between them and they both knew that nothing would come between that love. Their relationship, and their family, would only continue to grow; all thanks to one accidental encounter and a jar of pickles.
What do think? Review please!
