"Thanks for helping me," Morgan said as he met the three women at the mall.

"We wouldn't be anywhere else," Emily told him. The other two nodded.

"Are we ready to go shoppin?" Garcia asked excitedly. JJ and Emily squealed in excitement. Derek groaned as he covered his ears. Savanna gave a little squeal of her own.

"You siding with your auntie's, Vanna Bug?" he asked his daughter as she sat in her stroller looking around at everything.

"Okay, lets get started," JJ said, clapping her hands. The little group set off for the store just across the way to begin their shopping expedition.

A few hours later an exhausted Derek morgan sank on to the bench outside the family bathroom where he'd just changed the baby.

"What's the matter, tired?" JJ teased.

"Yeah, you guys wore me out. I'm glad we got what we came here for, but I'm exhausted," he complained. The girls just laughed at him. Just then the baby began to cry.

"I think someone's hungry. How about we go get some lunch?" Emily suggested.

"Sounds good to me," Morgan agreed as he pulled himself off the bench and they headed for the food court. Just as he was beginning to feed Savanna her bottle Morgan's cell phone rang.

"Hello?" he answered it.

"Hey there, babe. How's are girl?" Reid asked into the phone.

"Hey there, Spencer. She's good. We're spending the day with Em, JJ, and Garcia," Morgan answered.

"Sounds like fun, wish I was with you guys instead of speaking at the conference," Spencer replied.

"That bad, huh?" Morgan asked sympathetically. Reid's response was cut off by the baby coughing repeatedly. Morgan began to panic he couldn't figure out what he'd done wrong.

"Morgan, is she okay?" Reid asked frantically.

"Sit her up a bit, Morgan. She's probably choking on the formula. Pat her back, she'll be okay," JJ instructed. Doing what he was told he noticed an immediate change in his daughter. She stopped coughing and began sucking eagerly at the bottle once again.

"Morgan?" Reid repeated.

"She's fine, she slid down in my arms and choked on some of the formula, but everythings okay, now," he assured his boyfriend.

"Okay, and no the conference isn't that bad, I just miss you guys," Spencer reluctantly admitted.

"We miss you to," Morgan told him.

"Well, I've gotta get back. See you at home?" Reid asked.

"Yeah, remember the parties at 6:00," he reminded.

"I know, I've gotta go, love you Derek," Spencer said.

"Love you to, babe, bye." A smile lingered on Derek's face as he put his phone back in his pocket and continued eating his lunch.

"Well, how about we get this little girl a cute new outfit for the party before we all go home?" Garcia addressed the group.

"Yeah, I like that idea," Morgan replied as he tickled his daughters feet. She squirmed away and he laughed. Fifteen minutes later they had found a pretty purple dress with little flowers that said "cute as a Daisy" on it.

"I'll see you at 6:00," Morgan called as he strapped a sleeping Savanna into her car seat.

"See you then," they replied in unison.

The party was in full swing when Derek who had been talking to Hotch and Rossi spotted his boyfriend. Spencer had been cornered by Emily and JJ and was blushing furiously at something JJ was saying.

"What are you doing to my man?" Morgan teased as he wrapped his arms around Reid's waste and kissed his cheek.

"Nothing," JJ replied with an impish grin.

"Uh-huh I believe that like I believe that Strauss has a heart," Derek argued.

"You wound me, Morgan," JJ cried dramatically as she placed a hand over her heart as she pretended to cry. Reid laughed at both of them.

"Dramatic much?" he said. Turning to JJ Morgan gave her a significant look. Nodding in response JJ headed off to the couch where Garcia was holding and entertaining baby Savanna.

"Nice party, huh?" Reid murmured as he leaned in for a kiss.

"MM-hmm," Derek agreed as he attacked Reid's lips with wild abandoment. The sound of someone clearing their throat got their attention. The room fell silent and Reid blushed.

"Someone wanted her Daddy and her Papa," Garcia said as she walked over to them with the baby in her arms. She smiled as she handed the baby to Reid.

"Here you go, sweet pee, here's your Daddy."

"Hey there, baby. Daddy missed you. Did you have fun with Papa today?" he whispered. The baby cooed and kicked her tiny feet. Reid smiled at his little girl. Shifting her in his arms he caught sight of an envelope attached to her dress with a safety pin.

"What's this?" he asked out of curiosity.

"Why don't you open it and find out?" Derek suggested. Confused Reid unpinned the envelope and opened it. Inside was a note written in Morgan's handwriting.

"Daddy, Papa and I love you more than anything or anyone else in the world. Will you stay with us forever? Love 'Vanna and Derek." Reid looked up from the note wondering if Derek was asking what he thought he was asking. Looking down he noticed Morgan down on one knee with a small black box in his hand. Tears shimmered in Reid's eyes.

"Will you mary me, Spencer Michael Reid?" Derek choked out as he blinked back tears.
