Best Laid Plans-Ch 57
Epilogue-10 Years Later
As the next several years passed by the family grew by leaps and bounds with JJ and Reid adding another son named Michael Derek Reid and a daughter named Allison Diana Reid. Henry was now 15 and loved to help out with his 6 year old brother and 2 year old sister.
Hotch and Emily welcomed a set of fraternal twins named Thomas and Tiana who were now almost 7 and their son Jack is now going on 17. Hotch was still the leader of the team and even though his life was always busy he wouldn't have traded it for anything.
Penelope and Derek in addition to their 10 year old son Hank have a 7 year old daughter Jasmine Francine and a 2 year old daughter Sophia Grace. Derek and Penelope are still members of the BAU and when the team is on downtime they love to get together for family time with the rest of the team.
Sarah got married not long after Dereks daughter Jasmine was born, she met and fell in love with a friend of Reids named Joshua Clifton and they now have a set of twins that are almost 4 named Alicia and Alethia who are the apples of their parents eyes.
Desiree got married not long after Sarah did to one of the BAUs new members Luke Alvez and they now have a son age 5 named Zachary and a daughter 15 months old named Tiffany. Of course Fran and Dave loved having all of these grandbabies to spoil rotten.
Fran had always dreamed of and wanted a house filled with grandchildren and with all of the BAU kids she more than got her wish. Savannah and Kevin both ended up dying in prison, both were killed while trying to escape to seek their revenge on Derek and Penelope.
Even though the BAU family saw some hard times the good times more than made up for it and even with Savannah and Kevins best laid plans to end their future together Derek and Penelope lived with and loved each other for many many years and lived to see great, great grandchildren.
Penelope often remembered everything that had happened to her as her relationship with Derek began and looking back she wouldn't have missed getting to spend her life with Derek for anything, not anything and if she could she would do it all over again,
Derek was currently standing and watching his beautiful wife as she read a book to their baby daughter, you could see nothing but love on her face as she read to the child. He grinned as he watched her kiss their daughter on the forehead and whisper, "mommy loves you princess".
The little girl looked up at her and giggled and said, "I lubs you to momma, now and foreber", Derek said, "heyyyyyyy what about me, don't you love daddy"?, Penelope looked down at her daughter and said, "what do you think, do you think we should love daddy too"?, the little girl put her finger to her chubby cheek and said, "I fank we should momma".
Derek walked over to the little girl and picked her up and said, "I'll give you a I think so little girl" and started tickling her. The little girl laughed and laughed as Derek tickled her and as Penelope watched her husband and daughter she couldn't help but smile knowing that she was indeed the luckiest woman int he world,
