Rescuing Of Innocence-Ch 16

The next morning Derek woke up and smiled as he looked down and saw his baby girl sleeping peacefully in his arms, he leaned down and kissed the side of her neck and said, "it's time to wake up sweetness". Penelope shook her head and said, "nope, don't want too, I am having suchhhhhhh an amazing dream".

Derek said, "amazing dream huh, what about"?, she looked over her shoulder and said, "I'm dreaming about a man, a sexy, sexy man", Derek said, "hmmmmm, are you trying to tell me that I have competition for you goddess"?, she shook her head and said, "never my love, never, this heart has always been yours and it always will be".

He grinned and leaned down and kissed her lips gently and said, "and my heart has always been yours baby girl", she raised her hand up and touched his cheek and said, "I love you Derek, I love you so much". He sighed happily and said, "and I love you baby girl and nothing or nobody is ever going to change that, not ever" as he claimed her lips with his in a soft, gentle and loving kiss.

They were pulled from their kiss by the sound of somebody knocking on the door, she said, "why don't you go see who that is while I go and wake Tracey up"?, he kissed her lips and said, "sounds like a plan gorgeous" as he threw the covers back and walked across the room to the door.

As he opened the door he saw the smiling faces of the rest of his team, he stepped back and said, "are we late"?, Hotch stepped inside and said, "no, no, you're fine. we still have a little while before we have to go to court but we wanted to check on everybody and see how you are all doing this morning".

Derek said, "we're good, baby girl is checking on Tracey", seconds later Tracey came running through the room squealing, "unca Weed, unca Weed" as she jumped into his arms. Reid said, "morning Tracey, how are you this morning"?, she giggled and said, "me fine, me fine" causing him to grin and say, "that's good little one, that's good".

Dave said, "good morning my little Tina", she said, "mownin nonno" as she leaned for him to get her, Dave wrapped is arms around her and said, "did you sleep okay last night"?, Penelope sighed happily as Tracey nodded her head and said, "uh huh". Derek said, "she slept good all night, didn't you princess"? and Tracey grinned and nodded her head yes.

Penelope said, "come on baby girl let's go get you ready, we have a big day ahead of us", Derek said, "that we do sweetie, that we do", Tracey slid her hand in Penelopes and the family watched as Penelpoe and Tracey disappeared from the room. Derek said, "well guys I'm going to get dressed, I'll be right back", Emily said, "take your time Morgan, take your time" as she walked over and sat down beside JJ on the couch.

A few minutes later Derek walked into the room and said, "are you expecting any surprises today Hotch"?, Hotch shook his head and said, "no, I'm thinking that we're not going to have any trouble in getting to take Tracey back home with us". Reid said, "I agree, I think the judge is going to grant temporary fostering for Penelope and that will lead to her being adopted by the two of you, well after you get married that is".

Derek grinned and said, "already got me figured out do ya kid"?, Reid said, "well, you have been in love with Garcia for years now and so the next logical step is for you to finallyyyyyyy propose". Dave said, "I have to agree with Reid, it's about time that you and kitten get things right son".

Derek said, "I agree guys, I agree and hopefully soon we'll get everything we've ever dreamed of" causing the rest of the team to grin happily and nod their heads in agreement. JJ smiled as Penelope and Tracey walked into the room, Penelope said, "is their anyway that we can grab some muffins this morning this oracle is starving"?, Derek kissed her lips gently and said, "muffins sounds good", he looked down at Tracey and said, "doesn't it baby girl"?, she said, "uh huh, chocowate daddy, pweaseeeee"?, Derek picked up the little girl and said, "alright princess, alright, chocolate it is".

Everybody smiled and grabbed their things as they walked out of the room and headed up the hall toward the elevators
