Her Kind Of Hero

Chapter 21

Epilogue

AN: I own nothing thanks for the reviews hope you enjoy. Last chapter.

Derek and Penelope were outside with their kids along with Nick, Desiree and Billy playing in the foot snow that had fallen in the last few days. Nick and Derek were having a snowball fight so far Nick was winning, however it didn't last long. Derek threw one getting him in the chest, and then Danni picked up a snowball and threw it at Nick.

"Hey," Nick said, "You're supposed to get your dad not me," he joked.

"Nope," Danni said before she threw another one at Nick, "Get him," She said looking at her brothers.

Tyler and Johnny picked up a couple snowballs, but they turned facing their dad before throwing snowballs at Derek too. Billy who was standing beside Derek he reached down getting some snow before going over helping Danielle get Nick.

Desiree and Penelope were watching them and laughing as their husbands get hit by snowballs from their kids. Pen saw Derek reach down and he came up with snowball throwing it at Danielle.

"HEY," the six year old yelled out looking to see who'd threw the snowball, "You getting it daddy," she said before she started throwing the snowballs at Derek too.

"That's right get him," Nick said with laugh before Derek threw another one at him getting him right in the mouth, "Oh you are so dead," he said.

"Truths," Derek called out before looking at Nick and nodding towards the kids. Nick smiled before Derek and him both started tossing the snowballs at the kids.

"MOMMY," all four kids yelled out when Nick and Derek hit them with snowballs.

Desiree and Penelope smiled looking down at the kids, "What's the matter they being mean?" Des asked with smile.

"Well protect you," Pen said, "Boys play nice," she said looking at Nick and Derek.

"No," Derek said before he threw a snowball at Penelope, "Sorry baby girl," he said before he took off running knowing she was going to get him.

"Derek Morgan," Pen yelled out before she took off after him going through the snow, "Hot stuff you are so dead when I catch you," Pen said.

Derek grabbed another snow ball throwing it back at Penelope trying to get her, but Midnight got behind him and he tripped falling backwards into the snow landing flat on his back.

Nick and Desiree were laughing at Derek and when Pen got to him they knew that it was going to be funny. Pen picked up some snow and she dropped it right on him. "I think your mom's going to get your dad good," Nick said before Desiree stuffed some snow into his mouth and all over his face.

"I think you are too Uncle Nick," Danni said with laugh watching her uncle and aunt start their own snow ball fight.

-------

Two hours later after some more snowball fights, and few sleigh rides they all came in the house to get warm. Nick went and got some more wood for the fire place while Derek started it up inside to get them warm. Pen and Des were in the kitchen with the boys while Danni was playing in the living room with the dogs.

"Can we watch a movie?" Danielle asked.

"What would you like to watch?" Pen asked her.

"Little Mermaid," Danielle said.

"NO," the three boys yelled out, "Peter Pan," they cheered.

"NO," Danielle said back, "Ariel,"

"Okay how about we compromise here, Danni gets her movie first since she asked, then we can watch Peter Pan," Desiree said.

"Fine, but she's not aloud to watch our movie," Tyler said.

"Yes I can," Danni said, "Mommy, tell them I can watch," she said.

"Tyler be nice," Pen said giving her son a look.

"But she always gets to pick first," Johnny complained.

"I'm older that's why," Danni said with smile before she left the kitchen.

"I will be older one day," Tyler called back with huff before stomping off behind his sister.

Penelope couldn't help but smile at her kids, she was glad that Derek and her had gotten the chance to have the boys. They had agreed if they wanted more kids that they would adopt not wanting to risk her life. She still couldn't get over how lucky she'd gotten being Derek's wife. Something she'd never thought could happen, she now knew that she could have had any guy she'd wanted, but she needed Derek.

"You and Derek talked about adopting yet?" Desiree asked.

"We both said it would be nice, but right now we want to just enjoy these three," Penelope said, "What about Nick and you?" she asked.

"We've been talking to a social worker, we think we found little girl, her mom died when she was born and she had nobody else, she's two years old, they've been trying to find her a home for two years, but nobody wanted her," Des said.

"That's wonderful, I knew you two would find a little girl," Pen said.

"I know, I just wish I could have one myself," Desiree said, "But I get why Nick doesn't want to, having Billy was rough, and he almost died too, I couldn't have bared that," she said.

"Nick's just thinking about his wife, doesn't want her going anywhere, just like Derek doesn't want me to die either," Pen said with smile.

"If you could redo things would you?" Desiree asked.

"I'd make Danni Derek's, I would have taken him up on his offers, but I can't and Derek has been wonderful to me, and Danni is his no doubt about that," she said.

"Hey are you two coming in here or what?" Nick asked before picking Billy up.

"Yeah, just finishing the hot chocolate," Penelope said.

------------

Derek and Nick had the fire going nice and hot with Clooney and Midnight lying beside it. They'd put the guard up so the kids or pets didn't get near it. Danielle was sitting on Derek's lap with Tyler and Johnny on the other side of Derek. There was spot for Pen and she sat down beside them. Nick was sitting in the love seat with Desiree beside him and Billy on his lap. Smurf was lying under the coffee table along with Rainbow the kitten that Desiree had gotten Danni.

They all sat around watching movies mostly for the kids and having fun together. They'd come a long ways in the last seven years, six with kids and one without. Haley and Hotch had made things work out in the end and had a little girl Taylor, Derek had teased Hotch that he was trying to copy him. The BAU had grown with Emily and Rossi joining when they had. It was eight of them now, and even though at times it was crazy with work and kids they found time to keep those two worlds separate.

Reid and JJ had little boy and girl Henry and Alison who were twins, Hotch and Haley had Jack and Taylor, and what had shocked everybody was when Emily and Rossi had started dating couple years back, they were still going on, but hadn't decided on marriage or anything yet.

Daniel had even found himself a wife and they were expecting their first baby in few more months, they wanted to be surprised by what it was going to be so they still didn't know. Daniel had moved out two years back getting his own place for Lilly and him. They lived near Hotch and Haley across the street to be exact.

The team was a family and it was still growing, Sarah and Eric were expecting another set of twins soon to add to their three kids. They were also thinking about moving down here to be closer to their family. Fran didn't live far away, ten minutes to be exact near Desiree and Nick, the house that Derek and Pen had lived in for a while.

Life had given them lots of curve balls, but they'd taken them and knocked them out the park for home runs, they were still going strong, even with all they'd been through. None of them would trade the lives they had for what they could have had back then. The scars to their hearts and emotional damaged had healed with time all that was left was the distant memory of Rodney and Ryan, what they'd done to Desiree and Penelope.
