Here's the chapter everyone seems to have been waiting for! I hope it lives up to your expectations. And thank you for the lovely reviews everyone!

"You fucking son of a bitch!"

The sound of Derek's fist hitting Kevin's nose was a resounding crack that echoed in the interrogation room. Kevin's chair went flying backwards against the wall and he laughed. "You think this is funny?" Derek roared, landing another hit to his face. "You think it's funny that you tortured a young girl who'd never done anything wrong or that you raped the woman you once professed to love?"

"No," Kevin snickered. "I think your reaction is what's funny." He tried to stand up, but he ended up staggering backwards and fell to the floor.

"I'll show you what's funny," Derek snarled, landing a kick to his ribs. "This is funny!" He kicked the man on the floor who had singlehandedly ripped his wife and daughter's lives apart. "And what else is going to be funny is when you end up in prison. Do you know what happens to rapists in prison? Or better yet, men who kidnap teenage girls?" He grabbed Kevin by the collar and pulled him up to slam his back into a wall. "When you're in prison, I hope someone kills your miserable ass. I'll get the text while I'm sitting down to dinner that you're dead, and I'll smile like I have no care in the world because my wife and daughter will be safe from ever having to see your abhorrent face again!"

Dropping him, Derek turned to leave, when Kevin cackled. "They'll never be safe from me. I'll haunt them for the rest of their lives," he said. "I will be the man who their beloved Derek Morgan couldn't save them from. I'll be the face they'll never escape."

Rage refilling his veins instantly, Derek went back to him and laid another kick to his ribs. It was then that the doors were finally open to the interrogation room and Hotch and Reid rushed in. Rossi and Prentiss were standing at the door, their faces grim as their friend was grabbed roughly by the shoulders. All forms of curse words were coming from Derek's mouth and he fought against their holds to try and charge at Kevin again.

"Derek! Stand down," Hotch ordered gruffly.

"I'll kill him!" he hollered.

"We know you will," Reid stated bluntly. "That's why we're getting you out of here."

"Let me go!" Derek managed to struggle out of their hold and landed another kick to Kevin's abdomen. "Son of a bitch!"

"Just wait until my trial," Kevin taunted. "I'll make sure they never forget my face. You know when I was finished with her she said, 'I'm sorry, Derek'? Eden begged me to stop, but not Penny. She refused to let anything to happen to her precious baby, so she put up with it. All she did was cry."

Prentiss had joined Hotch and Reid to grab onto Derek and the three of them finally managed to drag him out of the interrogation room. Behind them, Rossi had looked down at Kevin and said, "Thank your stars that we came in here before he could finish with you." With one last disgusted glance at the man on the floor, he spat on his body and left the interrogation room.

Derek was breathing heavily when Hotch forced him to sit down in the round table room. The rage burning through him was written plainly on his face and he put his head in his hands, trying desperately to calm himself down. Every part of him wanted to return to the interrogation room and finish Kevin off. Hearing details of Penelope's rape had only thrown gasoline on the fire of hate he felt blazing in him. As he sat, he fully expected Hotch would reprimand him for deliberately disobeying him. Instead, his boss put a hand on his shoulder and said, "Morgan, go home. We'll see you in a week."

After the twins and Haley were off to school, Penelope found Eden downstairs on the living room couch with her backpack, rifling through it. She found what she was looking for and smiled.

"What's the homework?" she asked, going up to sit next to her.

Eden held up her copy of Pride and Prejudice. "My English teacher told Dad I could do a project on any novel of 'literary merit' to catch up. They start a new unit on Monday, so I'll just turn this in and start with them."

Penelope kissed her daughter's cheek and said, "I'll let you read. Oh, and Ashley said she was going to stop by when school is over." She noticed Eden's reluctant look and said, "Is that okay?"

"Oh! Yeah," she said. "It's just…what do I tell her? I don't want to lie to her, but I don't want her to know –" She paused and flopped her head against the couch cushions.

"You tell her what you feel the need to tell her," Penelope told her honestly. "Your father's profiled Ashley before. She won't repeat anything you don't want her to."

Eden looked at her mother with a raised eyebrow. It shocked Penelope how much like herself her daughter looked at that moment. "Dad profiled Ash?" she asked incredulously.

"Of course he did." Penelope looked out the window of their house and saw Derek's SUV pull up. She frowned. "Speak of the devil…" As he exited the car, half his face was hidden by his sunglasses, but from what she could see, he was extremely upset. Looking down at her daughter, she said, "Eden, stay in here for me, okay? I want to see what's wrong with your dad." Eden nodded, her face blank, and opened her book to start it.

Penelope went to the door and met Derek in the kitchen. "Derek?" she said gently. He was leaning with his elbows on the counter, eyes squeezed shut in anger. "Derek, what's wrong?"

"Everything, Penelope," he said. He turned to look at her and she saw that his eyes were red. She went towards him let him pull her into a crushing hug.

"Baby, what happened?" she asked gently, holding him tightly around the waist.

"I can't erase the pain for you," he said brokenly. "I can't make it go away for you or Eden."

Pulling back to look him in the eyes, she grasped his face in her hands and said, "Derek, nothing but time can make this go away. And we'll get through it, we will. It's just going to take some time."

"He told me…he said things about what he did," Derek said, his voice sounding like it had been shredded. "He laughed about it and I wanted to kill him. I still want to kill him. If Hotch hadn't pulled me out of there I probably would have killed him."

Penelope sucked in a breath when she realized what he was talking about, but she pulled Derek's face down to hers and kissed him passionately. "Derek, what he did to me, it'll go away. I'm making an appointment later today for Eden and I to talk to someone and we'll work through it." She kissed him again, but this time her tears mixed in and she had to sniffle.

Derek pulled her into his chest and inhaled the scent of her hair. He was grateful she wasn't closing herself off from him. Her tears stained his shirt and he kissed the top of her head in an attempt to comfort her. Penelope was right. With time, they would get better.

Hope everyone likes it okay. I think there will be one or two more chapters of this story. I'll be sad when it's over...I like writing this one!
