A/N: I hope the wait was worth it

"Derek Morgan I can not believe you brought me up here with no coffee in the house, what kind of profiler are you anyway?"

He stood behind her as they walked through the store. He leaned in and whispered "The kind of profiler who is gonna spank you if you don't keep your voice down people are starting to stare."

"Well, you should have brought coffee with us then shouldn't you?"

"Goddess where exactly would you have like me to put it? Between you, me, Clooney, lunch, the suitcases, and YOUR LAPTOP the truck was full."

"Well, had YOU told me where we were going I would have held the coffee, besides if you spend so much time here why don't you have any coffee?"

"Leave it alone Pen and let's just get out of here huh?" She could tell she pushed him too far and stayed quiet for the rest of the time in the store. Derek paid for everything and carried the bags to the truck. Pen followed close behind still not speaking. Derek put the bags in the back seat and helped her into the truck.

"Derek, I'm sorry."

"For What Pen, that in there, that was not a big deal, so don't make it into one."

"But Derek…"

Derek pulled up in front of the house, shut off the truck, and turned to look at her. "Sweetness, do you really think I would get mad at your rather dramatic reaction of having no coffee, you forget I spent my whole life with two older sisters, or that our whole friendship has been filled with drama. I love it. I love you, but at that particular moment all I wanted to do was kiss you and the last time I did it like that in front of all those people at the bar, you were embarrassed, so I decided it was better not to push it. Come on Goddess let's go inside, I need to start dinner."

"Dinner, Derek we just ate," she said as she got out of the truck and headed for the house.

"I know Sweetness, but you are in for a treat, I am making something special just for you and it takes a while. Give me about 15 minutes and I will be yours for the rest of the day except for the occasional need get up and stir. You and Clooney can go sit on the back porch if you want."

"Okay, but don't take too long Handsome," she said kissing him on the cheek before going to sit on the back porch. She put her feet up on the coffee table in front of her and drifted off to sleep. She woke up several minutes later to find Derek sitting on the coffee table watching her. "Derek, how long was I out."

"I been sitting here for 10 minutes or so and you were asleep when I got here."

"Why didn't you wake me?"

"Because you haven't had much sleep lately and I like to watch you sleep."

"I am starting to get that idea."

"Really, Do you have a problem with it?"
"No, my Angelfish."

"Well, how do you feel about coming inside and watching a movie with me?"

"Sounds good." He grabbed her hand and pulled her up and then picked her up and carried her inside and sat on the sofa taking her with him. 'You know Handsome I could have walked in here," she said smiling down at him.

"Are you complaining?"

"No"

"Good because I like having you right here,"he said kissing her. Several minutes later they broke apart. "So I thought we would watch a movie or two and have dinner and see where that leads us."

"I know where it will lead us if you keep kissing me like that."

"Mmmmmmmmmmmm, I like that idea."

"Well, why don't we skip the movies?"

"Because I have plans for later and I will not let you ruin them by distracting me my love."

"Oh, what kind of plans?"

"That is for me to know and for you to experience, Goddess."

She smiled at him and grabbed the remote. "So what are we watching Hot Stuff?"

"I thought we would watch Blade, he said with a twinkle in his eye."

"Oh, no way Derek, we have watched that movie a hundred times already." She finished her tirade and he burst out laughing. "Oooo, Derek Morgan you will pay for that later."

"Promises, promises, Baby Girl," he said as he kissed her again. "How about The Princess Bride, then Princess?"

"That's much better, Hot Stuff." She settled down next to him as he started the movie. He put his arm around her and pulled her close as the beginning credits started to roll. Another movie and several long kisses later Morgan left her on the sofa as he finish dinner. He set the table and put the food on the table and light the candles.

"Baby Girl, dinner is ready." She came into the kitchen and saw the candles and all the food. He saw the tears springing to her eyes and walked over and gave her a kiss on the head as he put his arm around her and led her to the table. "Don't cry Baby Girl. I didn't do this to make you cry. I want you to feel as loved and cherished as you deserve and this is just one of the ways I can show you that." He held out her chair for her and push her up to the table. He watched as she ate the food he had lovingly prepared. He could see the swirls of emotions in her eyes and he knew he had made the right decision bringing her here for what was left of their time off.

They ate in silence which was definitely unusual for them, but they were saying everything that needed to be said in the little touches across the table and the smiles. Derek cleaned up after dinner. Penelope sat there in her chair at the table and watch Derek move through the kitchen with the grace of a cat. She was lost in her own world, so much so she didn't see him turn around and look at her.

"Earth to Penelope? Whatcha thinking about over there?"

"I am just enjoying the view, Handsome."

"Oh, really Miss Garcia, and what view is that," he said as he went over to her and took her hand helping her out of the chair. She wrapped her arms around his neck as they stood there in the middle of the living room floor. She looked him straight in the eye.

"You, your the best view I could ever have, Derek Morgan." She could swear she saw him blush.

"On that note Baby Girl, can I ask you something?"

"Sure, Hot Stuff."

"Dance with me?"

"Derek.."

"Before you say no, its just you and me here, and I really want to dance with you. I have for a very long time, but I knew you wouldn't in public, so I never asked until now." Pen just shook her head and Derek reached over and turn on the CD player as he took her in his arms and the music began to play, Pen laid her head on his shoulder and listened to the song as they swayed together

The bar was empty

I was sweeping up the floor

That's when she walked in

I said,"I'm sorry but we're closed."

And she said, "I know, but I am afraid I left my purse."

I said, "I put one behind the bar, I bet it's probably yours."

And the next thing I knew

There we were lost in conversation

And before I handed her her purse

I said,"You'll only get this back on one condition"

And we danced

Out there on that empty hardwood floor

The chairs up and the lights turned way down low

The music, played, and we held each other close

And we danced

Pen knew they had really danced with each other from the moment they met until now and she knew standing right here in this living room that original dance was coming to an end. She was sad and excited at the same time as she felt him pull her closer and place her hand on his heart.

And from that moment

There was never any doubt

I'd found the one

That I'd always dreamed about

Then one evenin'

When she stopped by after work

I pulled a diamond ring out of the pocket of my shirt

And her eyes filled with tears

And she said, "This is the last thing I expected."

And then she took me by the hand

And said, "I'll marry you on one condition."

And we danced

Out there on that empty hardwood floor

The chairs up and the lights turned way down low

The music played, and we held each other close

And we danced

Like no one had ever danced before

I can't explain what happened on that floor

But the music played

We held each other close

And we danced

Yeah, we danced

Derek gathered her close, because he knew when the soon as the song was over everything was going to change for them, not that he wasn't ready, because he was. They had been dancing a long time and he was tired, tired of fighting his feelings where Pen was concerned and saying no when what he really wanted to do was to say yes. He loved Penelope Garcia with everything he was and he was ready to show her just how much. As the song ended he stepped away a little not completely letting her go. She lifted her head off his shoulder and he captured her lips with his.
