Chapter 10: The V-Day I

Penelope felt kinda off on this day. She should be overjoyed at the concept of celebrating this most sacred pink and red adorned, romantic day with the very beautiful, inside and out(very)Derek Morgan. The idea of something bothering her, even with those thoughts seemed to mess with her head even more. He's been the same loving, kind and attentive man she's known for the last seven years but only this time they were a couple. A couple who confessed their love to one another verbally and physically almost a month ago… everything should have seemed rushed. However, Penelope didn't feel that rush whatsoever.

Everything just felt perfect. Even the arguments and disagreements they've had along the way didn't deter the feeling she had of their relationship. Even the spanking he gave her days ago, which she did not totally expect at all (and secretly enjoyed), added fuel to the ever burning flame of love she had for Derek.

She felt somewhat selfish though. Penelope could admit to herself was that she felt bad for not planning a special Valentine something for him, as he was probably doing for her. She managed to squeeze out of him last night at his place that he had a surprise for her and to not ask again or she'd spoil it.

Penelope sighed at her appropriately decorated desk, grateful that the team was in the office all day. She spent most of the early morning zoning out on fanfiction or searching for new music to enjoy. Derek, busy with his own paperwork had not come by as of yet. She looked blankly at her computer screen, whizzing by pictures of Valentine's Day treats and such when something caught her eye. A smile spread on her face and she cackled evilly, a wondrous plan forming in her imaginative mind.

"Baby girl?"

Penelope jumped and shrieked at the interruption as well as the closing of the door. She closed her laptop and spun around on her chair facing Derek. Derek walked over to her, looking through a folder.

"I need your help with something, can you please find out when we accessed this information? Hotch wants me to finish this by today…"

"I can take care of that my sweet" she purred taking the files and hoping Derek didn't suspect anything was amiss. Derek smiled at her and quickly pressed a kiss to her lips.

"Thanks doll face," She turned around and facing another computer, searching for Derek's wanted information.

"Not going to use Jeeves?" Derek asked curiously, nodding to Penelope's closed laptop.

Penelope let out a shaky laugh, "No, no Jeeves is under the, uhm, weather. Here you go!" A few pages printed out from a nearby printer and Penelope quickly grabbed them practically shoving them in Derek's face while at the same time pushing him out of her cave.

"Penelope Garcia! What are you?-"

"Smooches my lovely, bye, see you tonight!" she said hurriedly, blowing him a kiss before promptly closing the door on the extremely bewildered look on his face. She pressed her back against it sighing heavily. After a few moments she shook herself and strode confidently over to her laptop opening it to view her latest project.

Everything was going as planned.

Penelope was able to sneak out of the office that afternoon during her lunch break and set up her lair for the Valentine's Day delight for her dear Derek.

She hurried back to the BAU in time to literally bump into Derek near her hideout. He laughed off the jam, holding her close and unafraid of being caught in the secluded area.

"I've been looking for you," he murmured low in her ear sending shivers down her spine and making her heart stop.

"Oh, its nice to be looked for," she replied back in a tone just as low as him. She heard his breath catch and smirked at her affect on him. He lifted his hands slowly from her arms to her face pulling her in for a soft kiss.

"I have a surprise for you baby" he said, taking hold of her hands and leading her to her door. She quirked an eyebrow at him wondering what was in store for her. "At least part one of it" he whispered, taking her glasses while covering her eyes as he pushed open the door and led her inside. Penelope squeed as Derek led her in, doing a little dance and smiling brightly. Derek laughed, "No peeking until you sit down"

Penelope nodded as Derek gently placed her in a seat, her eyes still closed. She heard him rush over to the door closing it before walking back over to her slowly.

"Derek Matthew Morgan! Hurry your cute Hershey behind over here! I wanna see! I wanna see!"

Derek just laughed again, admiring Penelope as he kneeled down to her rustling through a few items.

"Okay sweetness, you can open your beautiful eyes now" he said, placing her glasses upon her face simultaneously as she opened her eyes.

She looked down and gasped at what was around her.

Pink streamers hung about the ceiling, a large chocolate fondue chocolate pot with assorted cakes and fruits for dipping resided at a table. There were blown up pictures of Penelope, frolicking on a FBI company picnic with Derek right behind her, another one where Penelope is giving a fierce model pose to the camera in her bathing suit with Derek beside her, then another where Penelope is making a snow angel-Derek beside her looking up at the camera from their laid down view. The pictures go on and on in the same fashion, causing tears to appear in Penelope's eyes. She looked down at Derek who wore a similar expression presenting her with a velvet box.

"Derek…"

"Another moment in this life with you has been a blessing from God himself. He allowed me to spend seven beautiful, thrilling years with you. I just, can't wait another moment without you being by my side for the rest of my life" he opened the velvet box revealing a ring and heart shaped key. Penelope put her hands to her mouth, face red and shaking. "Penelope Lisa-Marie Garcia will you do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

Quite the cliff hanger, sorry about that LOL

Next chapter her answer and then her surprise for Derek. If there still is…

I'll have it by Friday or Saturday.

Thanks for reading, bye! : )
