AN: Thanks for the reviews I own nothing, two more chapters left this one and one more. Enjoy and thanks Elizabeth Perry for this idea.

Penelope was in her seventh month of pregnancy and so far the cravings hadn't been so bad, she'd even found something that stopped the cravings she'd been having. She still hadn't figured out what she really wanted though. She'd tried everything she could possible combine that didn't make her self sick just thinking about mixing it with something else.

However today, she finally found something that she could make and that finally fixed the cravings she'd been having; ice-cubes covered in strawberry syrup along with pickles that had chocolate syrup, honey mustard and hot sauce covering them. Morgan was away on case with the rest of the team, and Haley was staying with her until they got back since she was now working from home since her last visit to the doctor had about put her on bed rest.

She'd agreed to slow down if she could work out the house, because she refused to start maternity leave until she had to, and she had about went off when Derek suggested he stay home with her. It was the first real fight they'd ever had, and she'd won sorta, until the team got back, Haley was staying with her.

"I think Derek's going to freak when he sees this," Haley said with laugh.

"I know, but it is the only thing that has stopped this craving I've had for two months now, I'm not giving it up," Pen said, "And I don't have to make it either, well I don't have to use any of the appliances," she corrected.

"I can't wait to see his face, Aaron's too," Haley said.

"Sarah had to stay with Derek for week when she was having her twins, he about died from what she was craving. Barbeque wings with pancake syrup and pickles dipped in sour cream, he hasn't touched pickles or sour cream since then," she said.

"He's probably never going to want mustard again either now," Haley replied watching her friend, she was just glad it wasn't grossing her out; it actually looked good to her, probably because she was month into her own pregnancy, just hadn't had chance to tell Hotch yet, she'd told Pen after she promise not to tell him.

"Want some?" Penelope asked.

"Yes," Haley said as Pen moved the plate over sharing with her, "I think both our husbands are going to be grossed out for while, this stuff is so good," she replied.

Penelope just laughed taking some more pickles out the jar covering them with the toppings they were craving.

Derek walked in the door with Hotch behind him week later thankful the case was finally over after two weeks. He'd missed his baby girl so much, he'd only gotten sleep because she'd call him at night talking to him till he was almost asleep. They'd had phone sex few times since she was still craving him as well.

"Pen, Haley, we're back," Morgan said tossing his go back into the bedroom on his way passed the kitchen.

"Maybe they're asleep," Hotch suggested.

"I called her ten minutes ago, and after that little out burst of saying what she was going to do, when I said she was on speaker and to behave I'm pretty sure she's not asleep, don't you?" Derek asked, he was just glad he didn't get as embarrassed around his friends as he used to.

"No comment," Hotch said with smile following Morgan to the room that they'd set up so Pen could work from home and not have to stop working yet, "Haley?" he asked when he opened the door.

"Okay, the back deck is the last option," Morgan said.

"It's three am; you really think they'd be outside?" Hotch asked.

"We camped outside last week because she said she was about to die from all the heat, we got the AC blasting and she's still hot. Last month she was freezing now she is about to burn up every five minutes," Derek said opening the back door that lead to the deck, "There you two are," he said finding them sitting in the lounge chairs with Clooney between them guarding the two them. Lately he had not left Pen at all, and now that she was home all the time, mostly in bed less she was helping them or sitting somewhere he was as close as he could get to her.

"It was hot in there," Penelope said before Morgan kissed her.

"Could have told me where you were when I called," he replied.

"I didn't know you were half way here, I thought you were at the BAU, we live half hour away, hot stuff," Pen said.

"What is that smell?" Hotch asked after he'd kissed Haley.

"It is the most wonderful thing in the world, and finally I'm not about to die now from cravings," Penelope said with smile reaching for the plate beside her.

"It smells like something died," Derek said covering his nose when she put it near him, "What did you two do?" he asked seeing Haley had plate on her lap too.

"Nothing, it is just pickles with honey mustard, chocolate syrup, and hot sauce, we also got ice cubes with strawberry syrup covering them," Penelope said, "And Haley made us smoothies, and they are wonderful too, here," she said handing hers to Morgan.

It didn't smell bad, it smelt good so he tasted it, however he found out that smell means nothing. He handed it back to her before going to spit what was in his mouth over the railing. "Oh my god, what the hell is that?" he asked after trying not to puke at the horrible taste in his mouth.

"I put strawberries, chocolate and strawberry syrup, in them, with Tabasco sauce, lemon juice, sour cream and I think pickles maybe," Haley said, "I wrote it down in the kitchen," she added.

"Are you trying to kill yourself or something?" Hotch asked Penelope.

"No, I don't know why he's dying over there, it is best thing ever, and I got that craving I've been tearing the kitchen apart for under control," Pen replied taking ice cube out the other glass and putting it in her mouth.

"You better be glad you don't have to stay here, Hotch, just think I'm going to die now, I gotta make that smoothie thing for her," Morgan said with horrified look on his face thinking about what was in the thing his wife loved.

"Don't be so sure, Derek," Haley said with smile, "This is good, and he's gotta live with it for another eight months too," she replied with smile dropping the hint she was also expecting.

"Yep, our boss man's going to be a daddy too," Pen said laughing which finally got both men cued in on what their wives were talking about.

"Well, congrads, Hotch," Derek said at the stunned look on his friend's face.

"Aaron you can say something any time," Haley teased knowing that her husband was surprised.

"Sorry, I'm just…" he started.

"Speechless?" Pen asked with smile, she'd known for month now, and keeping that a secret had been hard, it wasn't that Haley hadn't wanted to say anything, but they'd been gone for two weeks and before that it had been week half, no real time to tell Hotch about it. The last time they'd all been together was for their weekly dinner last month after Derek and Pen had found out about the twins.

"I'm happy, just surprised, you never said anything," Aaron replied.

"Wanted to surprise you honey, and apparently I did," Haley said standing up giving him a hug and kiss, "We're going to get out here, and leave you two alone, night Pen, Derek," she said.

"Night you two, and have fun," Pen said.

Morgan told then night before he turned to Penelope, "You are so in trouble, baby girl, you're trying to kill me, you knew I'd spit that back out," he said before he kissed her.

Penelope held him to her, little difficult since she was pregnant, but after couple seconds she found prefect angle not letting him go. "I need you," she said when he pulled away for air.

"You promise to leave that out here, my Goddess and I'll do anything you want me to," he replied.

"Hey, you are going to have to suck it up, my handsome sexy chocolate God," Pen said wrapping her arms around his waist, "You promised not to say a word if I was craving strawberries, and I am technically," She protested, "just few extra things with it," she added with pout.

Derek shook his head with smile, "Come on, my sex kitten, I'm pretty sure I can last three more months," he said.

"Two months, I'm seven months pregnant," she stated.

"Sarah was pregnant for ten months, trust me I counted and Eric did the math, you got three more months, baby girl," he said making her stop.

"The hell it will be, I am going to deliver early," Pen said crossing her arms.

"I'm just saying, they had to induce labor, she was three weeks late, and ten months," Morgan said, "But you'll deliver early," he said seeing her look of panic.

"If I don't deliver on my due date, you Derek Morgan are going to be sleeping on the couch, and Clooney's going to be sleeping beside me," she said before walking past him.

"Baby girl," Morgan said going after her, but she shut the door on him locking it too.

"Nope, don't baby girl me, you are staying out there and until you apologize for that little statement you are…" Penelope thought for few minutes, "Grounded," she came up with, "No sex, no pet names, no touching me either, I got the vibrator, I'm sure that will do until you are off punishment," she said turning around.

"Penelope Michelle Garcia," Derek yelled out using her maiden name.

Pen ignored him walking off towards the kitchen.

"Clooney, I'm in the dog house I believe, again," he added looking over at his dog who was giving him a look. "Come on, I still got the keys in my pocket, we can get in the front door," he replied going down the steps and around to the front of the house.

Penelope was sitting on the couch lying on her side. She heard the front door open and Clooney came running over to her. "Hey buddy, I'm sorry I left you out there, but your daddy was in the way and I'm mad at him right now," she said rubbing his head.

"She's right, I'm an asshole," Derek said sitting down on the floor beside the couch, "I'm sorry, baby girl, I was teasing you," he said wiping her tears away.

"You know I'm an emotional wreck right now, and then I went and said I didn't need you, but I'm about to die without you near me," she said.

"I know you need me, just like I need you, silly girl," Morgan said with smile, "I'm never going to take you seriously if you tell me to take a hike, have I ever?" he asked.

"No, but I hate being mean to you," she sniffled, "I need you so much, and with you gone, I've been crying every night without you in our bed, even with the phone calls," she admitted.

"Well, we got week off, I'm not going anywhere for seven whole days, I'm your personal sex toy for the next week," he said getting laugh out of her.

"I might give you night off," she teased back with smile as she giggled.

"There's my Goddess," Derek said kissing her.

"Still mad at you, you haven't apologized for saying ten months," she stated.

"You will give birth on your due date, not day later," Derek said kissing her again, "Want another one those smoothies?"

"In the morning when we get up, now I just want to go to bed and sleep with my handsome husband," she stated sitting up.

"Then come on mamma," Morgan said standing up leading the way to the bedroom.

It was almost noon when Morgan woke up that morning. He didn't care; he'd been tired after being away for so long. Morgan kissed her before getting out the bed; he decided to make her breakfast or rather lunch in bed. Clooney followed him out joining him in the kitchen barking for his own lunch.

"Okay, give me minute buddy," Derek said scooping out some the dog food and filling the bowl before giving him fresh water, "Let's see if I can make this without getting sick," he said before getting the blender out along with all the ingredients he needed.

Ten minutes later he had everything he needed in the blender turning it on mixing everything together trying not to gag at the smell. "I can do this, it's only for another two months," he said to himself hitting the button on the blender to mix it together once the top was on it.

Pen was standing in the doorway of their bedroom watching him with smile. She couldn't help but want to cry watching him suffer, but refusing to complain again. She continued watching him for few more minutes as he finished with that and started making the rest of what she was craving for. "Derek, you don't have to make the rest of that, just make us some strawberry waffles with strawberries on top them and hot sauce and I'll deal with that," she said walking over.

"No, you like this stuff, and I'm going to make it, it's not for life, at least I hope it's not," he said with laugh putting the smoothie thing in front of her.

"Thank you hot stuff and I love you, but there is a whole pitcher in the fridge with this in it," she said with giggle, "I knew you'd be sick trying to make it so I got Haley to make me extra," she said.

"You could told me last night, woman," he laughed, "But now you got two things of this," he added, "Should last for two days maybe three, after all I gotta take care of you three," he said.

"I know, but the look on your face while you were trying to make this was killing me, next time, I'll put it in, and you can just mix it, I don't want you sick," she said.

"I can deal, Pen, if I can deal with dead bodies, I think I can get used to this which smells like them," Derek said giving her a kiss, "Might can get used to the horrible taste too, cause I'm not giving up kissing you, princess," he said with smile.

"I love you more everyday, Derek Morgan," she said hugging him.

"Love you too, baby girl," he replied, "Love those strange craving kids of ours too," he added.
