The team walked out of the court house, as if a weight had been taken off it's shoulders. Each member had a smile on his or her face, including Hotch. They were all taken by surprise, when Derek Morgan stopped the whole team, by getting down on one knee in front of Penelope Garcia. JJ, and Emily shared a smile, while he pulled a small velvet box out of his pocket.

"Penelope Garcia,"he began,"over the past few years, you have made my life a little sillier, a little brighter, and a little more bearable. I know this isn't the most ideal place to propose, but these past few weeks have taught me that, I can't wait to make my life better. Will you marry me?"

"Yes, yes,"Garcia repeated,"oh my God, yes!"

He stood up, and put the ring on her finger. Then, he wrapped her up in his arms.

"Good,"he whispered,"because, I am never letting you go again."

Rebecca had washed every last dish in that house. The other kids had tried to help her, but Matthew kept a close eye on her. After meeting all of his requirements, she joined them all in the living room.

"So, what are we watching?"she asked staring at the box.

"Cartoons!"Olivia, and the twins said in unison.

The colors came together to make something beautiful. The voices were filled with emotion, and passion. Rebecca had never seen anything like it her whole life.

"Oh great,"Callie said, looking up from her book,"the last thing youthree need is someone to justify your obsession with these shows."

"Oh, sorry,"Rebecca said, embarrassed.

"Oh, no,"she assured,"it's not your fault. The animation is really appealing to look at."

"What book are you reading?"

"A fighter in the mud,"she said,"I have more books in my room, if you want me to borrow one. What kinds of stories do you like?"

"The only books I've read in the past couple of years have been about taking down the hierarchy of my family,"Rebecca half joked.

"I have some dystopian novels,"Callie offered.

Rebecca nodded her head, neglecting to mention that she didn't know what dystopian meant.

"I know!"Callie stood up, and ran to her room.

When she came back she was holding a huge book.

"A Branch in the Flame,"Callie read the title, while handing it to her,"I could read it everyday."

Rebecca opened it up to the first page, and sat down next to Callie. She was immediately engrossed in the story. The characters were likable, the plot was exiting, and she could sense two love triangles coming up.

Her heart sank, when she heard a knock at the door. That was their foster mom, probably. She would have to stop reading to eat, and then she would have to clean up afterwards.

She heard Matthew open the door, and call,"Rebecca, there are two FBI agents who want to talk to you."

She ran to the door, with her spirits back up. Derek, and Penelope were standing in the doorway with huge smiles on their faces. They immediately hugged.

"Can we talk outside, for a little bit?"Derek asked.

"Yeah sure,"she said,"I found the perfect place, when I was out exploring last night."

Derek, and Penelope exchanged glances.

"you were out by yourself? At night?"Penelope asked her.

"I mean yesterday,"she said panicked,"I I found it during the day."

"Okay,"Derek said,"let's go to this perfect spot you found yesterday."

She led them behind the house, to a creek. There was a bridge, but it was broken. That didn't seem to stop Rebecca. She walked to a row of stones, which she hopped across with ease. Derek, and Penelope slowly inched across. Derek was shaking the whole time, and Penelope had to stop to take off her high heels. Rebecca didn't wait long to keep going, after they were across she ran past the trees, to reveal a meadow, with flowers, and a lake, and a willow tree in the middle.

"Rebecca,"Morgan asked with a completely serious expression,"why did you sneak out last night?"
