Rescuing Of Innocence-Ch 21

The next morning Derek woke up to the best sight, he woke up to a sexy Penelope Grace Garcia sleeping peacefully in his arms after a night of passionate love making. As he laid there holding her he still couldn't believe it, they had finally told each other how they felt, he had proposed to her in front of their family and she accepted, she had agreed to spend the rest of her life with him.

He waited as long as he could before he leaned down and started gently kissing the side of her neck, a smile graced her lips and she said, "suggggg, you are insatiable". Derek smiled against her neck and said, "and you love every minute of it", she looked over her shoulder and said, "of course I do, it's not every woman that gets to wake up to this chocolately goodness".

Derek kissed her lips and said, "I love you so much", she said, "I love you more", he said, "woman that's silly talk" and claimed her lips with his in a passionate kiss. They pulled apart and Penelope said, "as much as I would love to continue this, sadly, we can't handsome, we've got to get up and get dressed and get Tracey ready to head back to Virginia today".

Derek smiled and said, "I can't believe that we get to take her home with us, it all seems so unreal", she kissed his lips gently and said, "it all feels like a dream, a big, fantastic, amazing dream" as she claimed his lips with hers. Derek reluctantly pulled away and said, "get up and get dressed woman before I take you again and again and again".

She threw the covers back and said, "raincheck on that lover", he said, "count on that momma, count on that" as he too jumped up and quickly got dressed so they could get their day started. Derek was ready first so he walked into Traceys room and smiled as he saw her sitting there playing with her teddy bear.

He said, "morning princess", the little girl looked up at him and said, "mownin daddy" as she jumped down and ran over to him, he picked her up and kissed her cheeks and she started giggling. Derek said, "are you okay today"?, she nodded her head and said, "uh huh, me fine daddy".

Derek said, "why don't we get you dressed and ready because the others will be here soon", he carried her over to the closet and said, "hmmmm, what do you want to wear today"?, she pointed to a yellow Ariel outfit and he said, "Ariel, nice choice" and he put her down and helped her get dressed.

They were sitting in the living room watching tv when Penelope came out a few minutes dressed and ready for the day, she kissed Derek and then Tracey and said, "good morning my loves". Derek said, "morning baby girl", Tracey said, "mownin mommy" causing Penelope to smile.

It was only a matter of a few minutes before somebody knocked on the door, Penelope walked over and opened the door and smiled when she saw the rest of the team standing there with smiles on their faces. Dave and Reid were carrying coffee for everybody and JJ and Emily were carrying breakfast.

They all walked over and after getting good morning hugs and kisses from Tracey everybody sat down and enjoyed a delicious breakfast together as they sat and waited on Natalie to come and bring the paperwork so they could head back home with Tracey so they could all start their lives together.

About 30 minutes later Natalie arrived and she sat and talked to everybody for a few minutes before she handed over the papers to a very nervous Penelope. Natalie said, "you are an amazing mom to her Penelope", Derek smiled and said, "I couldn't agree more" and Natalie looked down and saw the engagement ring on Penelopes finger and said, "congratulations you two".

Derek grinned and wrapped his arms around his fiancée and they said, "thank you" in unison, Natalie stood up and said, "well I guess that you are all anxious to get back home"?, Derek said, "yeah, we need to get home and get Tracey settled into her new home, our new home" and Natalie smiled and said, "I can see she's in good hands with all of you, she's a lucky little girl".

Penelope said, "we're the lucky ones, she's an amazing little girl and we all love her so much", Natalie smiled and nodded her head and said, "well you all have safe travels and sometime tomorrow or the next day you will be contacted from social services in Virginia, they will want to come out and see where Tracey will be living, see how things are flowing, that kind of thing".

Derek intertwined fingers with Penelope and said, "thank you Natalie for everything you've done to help us", she said, "you are very welcome" as they walked her to the door. As Natalie stepped out into the hall she waved at Tracey and said, "bye sweetie", the little girl smiled and said, "byeeeeeeeeee" as they all watched Natalie head up the hall and disappear onto the elevator.

Hotch looked at his watch and said, "alright we all need to grab our things and head to the jet, wheels up in about an hour", they all nodded their heads yes in agreement as everybody but Derek, Penelope and Tracey stepped out into the hall. Derek smiled down at Tracey and said, "you ready to head home princess"?, the little girl nodded her head and said, "weady daddy" causing Derek and Penelope to grin as they all started getting their things together so they could head to the airstrip so they could finally head back home to Virginia.
