Derek Morgan was nervous. He didn't think he's been this nervous since he was a football player and blew out his knee. He was so nervous that the injury he suffered was one that would end his career and it turned out that the injury he suffered would mean the last game he would play. He looked down at the hand he held and he knew that this situation could end badly or well, he hoped for the latter. So much has happened in the past couple days, weeks, Derek's track of time has been off and he feels as if he has aged considerably. He looked up at JJ and as weary as she looked she was still the most beautiful woman in the world to him. He looked over to see Em and Spence talking to each other quietly. Derek thought about how everyone in the team seemed to be getting in a relationship with someone. It was kind of hilarious what these cases can do to people. Derek couldn't deny that he was happy about the closeness that developed between him and JJ but at the same time he hated the constant feeling of danger that surrounded them. He hated this tension, this pressure that was building. He knew that the unsub was coming, he knew that psycho was coming for them tonight and the thing that scared him most was that he wasn't sure that they were prepared for it.

JJ squeezed Derek's hand and sighed, knowing that she rather be in her bed with Derek sleeping or doing something else that would end up with them sleeping together in bed. Last night was amazing, her body still hummed from what happen. To JJ it couldn't have happened at a better time, they were so close to losing each other and JJ did not want to go through her life not knowing what making love to Derek Morgan's body felt like; on top of hers, inside hers. This case brought her something beautiful, something she wasn't sure she would ever find, in actuality she never thought something like this would happen to her, but it did and she knew that she did not want to miss out on any of it. She leaned her head on his shoulder and hid her face in his chest, wishing this case were over more than anything in world. The trap was set, all that was left to do now was to play it out and hope for the best.

She looked at the clock and wondered when the unsub would make his move and come after them. She just wanted this to be over, she just wanted this to play out and hope that they could put this guy away and go home. She tried to compartmentalize her fears and put them behind her. This whirlwind of adventure has had her on edge and she wished she could relax and just be. She looked down to her hand and wondered if the ring would remain or if her or if her and Derek wanted to get a divorce and try going about their relationship the right way, dating and all that, she had a feeling though that if they went about their relationship that way, that it wouldn't be long before wedding rings were adorning her finger again. She really did like being Ms. Derek Morgan; she liked the idea of being in a relationship with a man that valued the morals of marriage as heavily as Derek Morgan did. She knows all about his "a different girl a week" thing but with all of that there was no doubt in anyone's mind that when Derek did settle down, it would be to last.

She looked over the rest of the team as they sat about anxiously, waiting for the unsub to make his move. It was kind funny to her, what this case revealed about people. Emily, who has been in love with Reid for months, even years finally got the resident genius to notice her feelings for him, and instead of running, Spence revealed that he liked her too. She smiled as they sat next to each other kidding around over a game of 21. She was so happy for them and wished them the best of luck in their relationship, and prayed that they never end up in the same situation Derek and her found themselves in right now. She looked to Hotch who was watching the street like a sentinel, Rossi and Gideon sat comfortably in the armchairs, playing a game of chess. Pen and Ryan were back at the Police HQ watching every thing that was happening from the cameras in the house.

She jumped when she felt Derek shift; he nodded to her for them to go into a back room. She shrugged in reply and followed him into the hallway. They continued walking until they were alone. She looked to Derek confused as he gripped her hands. She got nervous and wondered for once if all the things that she was picturing in her mind were just her wishful thinking. She shook her head, after everything that was said between them last night, she had no reason to fear that her and Derek were going somewhere in this relationship. She looked into his eyes and waited for him to build the nerve to say what he needed to get off his chest.

He sighed and then took a deep breath before beginning to speak. "JJ, I know there is a good chance that this case will be ending soon and I just want to make sure that even when this is over, you still want to be with me?" He looked so unsure, so unlike the confident Derek Morgan she was used to that it was unnerving and at the same time it was adorable and exhilarating. She reached up and caressed the side of his face before leaning toward him and bringing him into a slow kiss. She moaned as he lightly nipped her lip before sneaking his tongue into her mouth. She pulled away when she was forced to breathe but she kept her forehead against his feeling more assured than ever that her and Derek were going to be together. She grinned at him before pulling her away.

She opened her mouth to say something when Hotch stuck his head in, "Hey guys we're all set up. It's time to wait for this guy and take him down. We're going to need you guys out here with us." Derek and JJ nodded at him before they followed him back out to the living room. JJ blushed when Em gave her a knowing look. She flashed her eyes back to Derek, impatiently waiting for this night to end.
