A/N: Probably the shortest epilogue I ever wrote. I hope you liked my contribution to the CCOACs Valentine's fic exchange, especially BonesBird, who this was written for. Have to say the original epilogue didn't reveal who it was, but my beta said it might be better. LOL

My next story might be a bit away since I have to head to the US for a few weeks on business and I wouldn't be able to guarentee any frequent updates. Thanks to everyone who stuck with this til the end.


When I heard the news the next day I sure as hell knew I finally got them where they had belonged years ago. What I didn't know in that very moment was that from that day on, Valentine's Days were the days of momentous events in the relationship of SSA Derek Morgan and our Technical Analyst Penelope Garcia.

They started dating on that day.

On Valentine's Day a year later he proposed to her, at which she of course said yes, although it was more like a whisper and it took her nearly five minutes to fight her tears and the overwhelming feeling this proposal had.

It was a year after his proposal that they got married, on Valentine's Day, having probably a whole church weeping about their emotion filled self-written vows.

And it should be Valentine's Day once again, when their daughter was born, as well as their twin-sons two years later.

Love certainly was on their side. And never left them again. For the rest of their lives.

I never did reveal that I played cupid for them but whenever I see their kids playing in my yard with Henry I know that mine and Emily's secret matchmaking was well worth the effort and deceit.
