AN: This chapter is rated T for language and some violence.

The next morning Emily woke up in the warm embrace of Derek. When she opened her eyes, she studied every feature pf him. This was so perfect, it was better than she ever imagined. She closed her eyes again just enjoying the warmth of his body next to hers. After a while she doze off again.

An hour later she was awoken by Morgan playing with her hair. When she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a brightly smiling Derek.

"Good morning sunshine" he said and gave her a kiss on the lips

"Good Morning" she smiled "I could definitely get used to this" she said teasing him

He grinned "Come on let's get breakfast"

"Okay" she said and they walked hand in hand into the kitchen. Fran, Sarah and Desirée were already there.

"Morning" Emily and Morgan said as they entered the kitchen

"Good Morning you two" the three women said when Emily pored Derek and herself some coffee while he made breakfast. After they ate Fran decided it was time to decorate the house. They started off with putting some Christmas garlands above the doors. When they were satisfied, they put up the tree and Emily couldn't help but stare at Morgans butt.

"Having a nice view princess?" she quickly looked away, blushing crimson. Fran chuckled. They continued hanging up Christmas balls as well as candy Canes and some ornaments. In the end they put the presents under it. The time flew by and they went out for lunch to a little restaurant. On their way back, a guy Emily had never seen before came out of a side street.

"Well, well if this isn't Derek Morgan"

"Jackson" he grumbled

"And who is that pretty chick" He said and checked Emily out

"Hey back off!" Morgan growled

"Or what, wanna beat me up?" he seared

"What if?" Morgan said, taking a step towards him when Emily put her hand on his shoulder.

"Come on let's go" she said and Morgan seemed to calm down a bit, when they walked past Jackson

"Your chick is smart" Emily felt Morgan tense.

"Don't" she said to him and he kept on walking when Emily felt a slap on her but "Oh no you didn't?" she turned and punched his nose.

"Damn it bitch!" he screamed letting go of his nose looking at the blood, which was now dropping to the floor. As soon as this words left his mouth Emily grabbed his nose with two fingers carefully avoiding the blood.

"You're going to apologize to me right now." she said and when he didn't make any intentions on doing it, she grabbed his nose tighter, making him squirm.

"Damn it, I'm sorry!" he screamed and she let his nose go

"That's more likely" she said and turned

"Slut" he whispered not thinking she had heard it but she did, turned around and kicked his groin with her foot and he fell to the floor. Fran, Sarah and Desirée had a shocked expression on her face, Derek just smiled at her.

As Sarah regained composure she said: "Don't ever make her angry"

"I have no intention on doing that" he still grinned and put one arm around her waist. When they arrived at home they were all laughing. Emily was surprised that she already thought about the apartment as home and Fran, Derek, Desirée and Sarah as part of her family. Fran took Emily with her into the kitchen baking cookies. The sisters as well as Derek went upstairs wrapping up the last presents.

"I know its kinda cliché, but if your intentions with my son aren't true or if you'll hurt him, you'll regret it"

"I don't have any intention in doing that" Emily said confidently and smiled at Fran, which she returned

"Good" Fran said and smiled and returned to her task of stirring the dough while Emily took charge of getting the baking sheet ready. They made chocolate chip cookies. After fifteen minutes they were ready and everybody had returned to the living room. Emily and Morgan took the couch. The brunette laid her head on Morgans chest and he put his arms around her waist, Sara as well as Desirée sat down onto the floor cuddling together with a blanked above them while Fran put in the movie and sat down in the armchair standing next to the couch.

"What movie are we watching?" Emily asked

"How the Grinch stole Christmas. It's kind of a family tradition" Morgan told her

"Oh, what is it about?"

"Wait you've never seen it?" Derek asked shocked, when Emily nodded

"How come?"

"Well we've never made a big thing about Christmas and I often wasn't allowed to watch TV anyway."

"Okay, we seriously have some catching up to do" Emily just laid her head onto his chest again while the movie started playing. After the movie ended Morgan asked Emily if she liked the movie and she nodded and smiled at him. Emily and Derek went to bed early since they were going to drive back tomorrow, leaving the others in the living room by themselves. Arriving in Derek's old room, Emily pulled her shirt over her head, taking Morgan by surprise and he stared at her which made Emily blush. Taking her hand and pulled her towards himself, kissing her, as soon as she felt his lips on hers, she responded. When they broke apart Morgan started trailing kissed down her neck which made Emily moan. She pulled his head back up kissing him on the lips hungrily. Emily started to slow down the kiss and then pulled away.

"As much as I would love to do that right now, your mother and sisters are downstairs"

"Well I can see your point" he said and gave her a light kiss on the lips, before turning to leave the room.

"Where are you going?"

"Taking a cold shower" she chuckled while he left the room. When he returned she was already asleep. Carefully he climbed next to her, trying not to disturb her when she snuggled into him.

When Emily woke up the next morning Derek was already gone but she could still feel his warmth next to him. When she walked into the kitchen he was standing next to the stove flicking eggs inside the pan she gave him a kiss to the cheek. He smiled and then put the eggs onto two plates were bacon was already waiting. Emily took her plate, sat down next to Derek and ate her breakfast. Later the others appeared in the kitchen and started eating breakfast after that they started to hand out the presents.

"This one is for you three" Emily said and handed the present to Desirée, Sarah and Fran.

"You didn't have to"

"Oh no, I wanted to" when they had opened the present, it contained a photo album of various photographs made during their time together. One for example was showing them at the restaurant they visited yesterday, another one was taken at the kitchen on Emily's first day with the Morgans. The next present was from Emily to Derek. It was a first edition of Kurt Vonnegut's 'Mother Night'. Morgan grinned like a fool and kissed her. "I take it you like the present?"

"I most certainly do" he said still grinning. That one is for you he said and gave her the present. It was a golden bracelet with a heart in between the two parts of the chain. Engraved in the heart were the words 'I love you' She smiled when she read those words and then turned to Derek

"I love you too" Emily said and kissed him, trying to put everything she felt right now into the kiss. The rest of the day passed by very fast so when the evening came Derek and Emily were putting their luggage into the trunk of the car, preparing to leave.

Fran hugged Emily and kissed her on the cheek, like she did with Derek "Come and visit us again soon", Fran said, "and remember I'm not getting any younger and I want some grand children."

"Mom!"

"What I'm just saying" she chuckled

Desirée and Sarah hugged both of them "Goodbye baby brother" Sarah said and Derek shot her a look which she just ignored, "and Emily, take good care of him"

"I will" Emily answered getting into the car. Halfway on the drive she fell asleep, waking up next to Derek at his place. Emily silently got out of bed making some coffee. An hour later Derek woke up, finding Emily in the kitchen, hugging her from behind kissing her neck

"How long have you been up?"

"About an hour or so, but I figured you'll probably need the sleep"

"Thanks, so what do you think about staying at my place and just enjoy the day?"

"Well actually I would love too, but I go a text from PG that she's planning on having a Girls day and when I tried to cancel she threatened to put some very very embarrassing pictures onto the FBI website so I figured I'd better obey." Morgan chuckled

"I guess I'll be asking Garcia for those pictures"

"Oh no you wont" she said slapping his arm

"What if I still do?"

"I bet Garcia has some pictures about you two"

"Okay, okay I'll surrender" he said kissing her cheek
