Penelope grabbed Derek's hand as they stood to the side and watched intently as the nurse and doctor checked their daughter over. It had been well over a month since Penelope had give birth and so much was changing.

The doctor turned to the pair with a smile. "Well in the 6 weeks that Annabelle was born her longs have matured, we're going to keep her on a ventilator for another week or less and then we'll look at taking her off. Her weight's no longer alarmingly low, and everything seems to be working accordingly."

"What about her kidneys?" Derek asked as Penelope began to silence with worry.

"What can I say?" He said and smiled. "Perfectly developed." He told them and he could see it was a big weight of their mind. "We'll give her until the ventilators off and we'll get her out of the incubator. We'll keep her in it to give her the biggest fighting chance possible."

Both the nurse and doctor left after finishing up and Penelope turned to Derek. "I want us to live together." She blurted out; she saw his expression and frowned. "What?"

"I just thought you didn't want to."

"Oh, Handsome, I've gotten too use to falling asleep in your arms at night. I can't just stop that now. I feel like we're a proper family. I love you, you love me, we love our daughter. Living in different houses makes it hard to love each other."

"It's just a change." He almost doubted her, she was so adamant to start living nearer then together, not together from the moment Annabelle was out of the hospital.

"I know it is. When she was born I was confused, I was in shock, I was scared. Now I know where my priorities lie. I know what I want in life; I'm not confused or dazed or messed up. I know full well what I've got and if I keep living indecisively, I'll lose that."

"I think my day just got even better." Derek said and wrapped his arms around Penelope and kissed her hard and passionate, making her moan out and wrap her arms around him to keep him there a moment. "I told you I'd wait."

"If that was the type of acceptance I'd have known I'd have got, I would've done this earlier!" Penelope quipped and Derek pressed his forehead to hers, in times of need he did this, for that or just keep her locked in his eyes. "I will make you Penelope Morgan by the time this year is out."

"If you had a Church right now, I'd be waiting for the Priest by now." Derek pulled away stunned. "I've wasted so much of my life doubting Hot Stuff, but this, this makes me realise a lot of things. It's not just about me anymore. It's about me, my daughter and the father of my little girl. This is a life time commitment and I know I want to do it right."

"Hallelujah!" The pair jumped apart at JJ's voice. She stood with a besieging grin and a tear in her eyes. "Taken you long enough hasn't it?"

"Jayje, you knew it was coming. I just had to get my life in order." Penelope told her calmly. "Wouldn't want Agent Morgan getting confused now would we?" She joked.

"I won't take that as an insult." Derek said almost immediately.

"No, good, don't." Penelope said looking at him. "You're not just a pretty face." Penelope said and pinched his cheek; she looked towards a laughing JJ and smiled. "Where are the others?"

"Behind me." She said and Penelope and Derek left, knowing that not many people were allowed in the room at a time.

"We have news." Penelope said, as Derek put his arms around her as he stood behind her. Everyone looked at them cautiously. "About us and Annabelle." Everyone continued to stare, not knowing quite how to react at that moment.

"Belle's kidneys have developed properly now, her weight's up and the doc said she'll be off the ventilator in the next week or so." Everyone's seriousness broke and their faces flooded with relief and smiles. "Once that's done we can start with holding her." Derek told them with a big smile, he was ecstatic about the news.

"Oh that's amazing." Emily said and Penelope was JJ received a range of hugs and handshakes for the good news.

"And me and Penelope are going to look for a house. Once we've found one and we know that Belle's going to be okay for sure, I'll work on flipping it with my time off." Penelope looked at Derek; she assumed they would move into his. "As nice as my house is, it's a bit too bachelor and I want a new home with my future wife and my baby girl."

Penelope's face lit up to above normal and her eyes welled up.

"Does this mean you're getting married?" They heard Reid asked and Penelope watched Derek intently.

Derek got down on one knee and Penelope's eyes widened at him. "I know life's a little crazy right now and I don't have a ring to give you, but Penelope Garcia, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife and making me the happiest man that ever walked this earth?"

Penelope didn't realise she was nodding her head at first, only when her lips whispered the answer did she know what she was doing. "Yes." She said almost so silent if there was a noise it would've been missed.

Derek stood up and pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately. Pulling away Penelope blushed as she realised the attention on her. "I'm going to find us the perfect home."

"I knew you would." Penelope said as she remained pressed to his chest. "God, why did you have to make me love you so much?" Penelope said as she pushed a balled fist into his chest. "This is all I've ever wanted." She told him and he remembered the night after Annabelle was born, where they made it sound like neither wanted the other.

Fran watched with tear filled eyes as her son looked the happiest he had. Today was going from strength to strength and she couldn't be happier with having Penelope be the woman to join her family.

"We've got the day off, how about us men leave you women and we go look for houses."

"As long as I get a say in the matter." Penelope jumped in. "I want to help pick my future home."

"We'll get a list." Rossi told her. "Then later or tomorrow, Morgan and you can go look."

"It all seems sudden."

"Well all of a sudden life's going somewhere." Derek told her and pulled her into his arms. "We need a house fit for our baby and I want one fit for my wife first."

"Smooth talker." Penelope told him and turned to the other men. "Nothing grotty and nothing in a bad area." She stated firmly.

"I think it's safe to say that was our first idea to avoid." Hotch told her truthfully.

"You girls make sure she gets some food, we were just going when the doc turned up." Derek said and kissed Penelope's cheek and left with the other men.

"You three go down, I'll stick around." Fran offered and JJ and Emily near enough dragged Penelope towards the elevator the men were waiting on. Fran smiled and entered the room.

Derek looked up and saw Penelope looking the calmest she'd look in a while walk towards them. He knew he'd be lucky to marry her and he knew he would love her forever. He would thank the heavens later, once a house was found, that she was his.

Penelope was feeling better about things, and Derek could tell she was in a mischievous mood. What he didn't expect was her to say something in an overly filled elevator, with the team and 4 total strangers. However, he should've known better.

"Ooh!" Penelope said as Derek fell slightly forward into her. She looked at JJ and Emily and smirked. "Something sure poked me." She said turning around. "I sure hope your weapon's remaining holstered, Agent Morgan." She told him and turned back. "We wouldn't want any unnecessary probing."

"You are so paying for that Baby Girl." He whispered as they finally made it to the ground floor, they were all laughing.

"Bring it, Handsome." She near enough purred teasingly and willingly and walked away towards the cafeteria.

"You sure you can handle her?" Rossi asked as they all walked out.

"It's only ever been Morgan that can to some extent." Hotch said amused as he walked in front. He'd missed Penelope's full on sarcastic and inappropriate behaviour. He knew from that little scene she put on, her love of embarrassing Derek, meant that things were on the up.

Penelope sat in the cafeteria with a tray of food, and her two best girl friend's. She'd never felt so relaxed at being away from Annabelle. Her faith and optimism now slipping in to become a normal Penelope Garcia trait once again.

"So engaged... how's it feel PG?" Emily asked as she stabbed her fork into her food and took some.

"Absolutely perfect and amazingly right." Penelope told her positively. "I sudden realised that living in two places wouldn't do anything. I love Derek now, I've slept in his arms since Belle was born and I don't want to lose that."

"It's good to know." JJ told her as she smiled warmly. "You scared us all that day you know that?"

Penelope laughed. "Scared you? I was the one that passed out remember." Penelope reminded them. "I still remember Derek's face when I came too. He looked scared and so ready to bolt and the fact that I knew full well Belle was his scared me because he didn't look ready and willing to be a dad."

"He was scared." Emily vouched.

"I know, but I was the one in labour. I was the one that missed the entire pregnancy. That scared me and I just wanted to feel Derek. No offence Jayje, but seeing you come through the door that day just told me that I'd lost him, but you did an amazing job and I'm so thankful for you doing that for me."

"She was quite forthright with it all." Emily jumped in.

"I told Derek how it was when I left you again. Hence why he was down there. I milked it, I got you to open up, in labour or not, and he realised you were as blind as he was."

"I'm thankful for it. I've never been happier."

"You'll be happier once you hold that little girl." JJ told her with a smile, she was remembering when she held Henry for the first time. It was a moment she still hadn't forgotten and knew she never would.

"What I want to know is just how exactly it all happened." Emily asked her clearing intrigued and she leant in, she was ready for some long lost gossip.

"He gave me a night of passionate love making because I was, in my words, drying up. I was beginning to just work with the throes of life. He wanted to make me feel alive again and, gee, did he make me feel alive."

"He really did love you all along." Emily commented.

Penelope looked down somewhat embarrassed. "I guess he did, I guess I was just blind to it."

"Not anymore!" JJ near enough yelled at her excitedly. "So what type of wedding you thinking?"

"I don't know JJ!" Penelope said laughing. "I've been engaged for all of half hour."

"These matters need addressing. Like bridesmaids, who do you want? Colours? Flowers? Rings?"

"JJ, calm down. Penelope will do that step by step." Emily calmed her clearly amused.

"She's got it right Jayje, first port of a call is a home for us to live in. We'll see how successful that is."

Later that night Penelope found out as she had three houses to go see, Derek was keeping the one he was most certain about until last. It was the only one he could see his wife and children living in.

He just hoped Penelope agreed.

He guessed he'd soon find out.
