Morgan/Prentiss
1. It's So Hard To Say Goodbye To Yesterday – Boyz II Men
Derek Morgan sighed, trying desperately to keep the tears threatening to fall, at bay. He was standing at the front of the group, trying not to let the emotions spill out; he had to stand tall and strong, if not just for her but for their son as well. He tried to block out everything that was going on around him, the priest that was performing the ritual, the crying of the team members, the other numerous little noises in the background, focusing solely on holding his son's hand and trying to remember his Emily as the bright, funny, nerdy and joyful mother that she had been. He just adamantly refused to think of her in that beautiful mahogany he just couldn't. Memories, happy and sad flooded his mind as the priest finished the ritual. It's too hard to say goodbye to yesterday, so I'll just say, til we meet again my darling Emily, he thought.
2. I Gotta Feeling – Black Eyed Peas
She couldn't help but feel that tonight was going to be good. Derek was planning something special, something special that they'd had to raincheck four times already because of work, so she knew he was determined to make the night perfect, so as she sat down on the plaid picnic blanket she couldn't help but feel somewhat special. There was no one else in the park, just them and laid out on the blanket was an assortment of delicious and decadent foods all waiting to be consumed. There were even candles and champagne and sitting in the centre of one of the plastic picnic plates was a bright blue box. Her breath hitched, her heart rate soared and tears prickled in the back of her eyes.
'Is that what I think it is?' she asked in a breathy whisper. Derek nodded his head, his hands shaking as they took hers.
'Yeah,' he started, pausing for a moment to calm himself, 'I was gonna wait til after dinner but… I got too nervous so here it is. I love you Emily, I think I've been in love with you the moment I found out you were a Vonnegut fan, I knew then you were the one for me. I love how you laugh, you smile, you cry, you sing, you dance, I just love everything about you. I want to be by your side for the rest of our lives, sharing those moments together. You're The One for me Emily, no one else, I know we've had our fair share of problems but we've stuck. So, Emily Elizabeth Prentiss, will you marry a very nervous man right now?' Derek whispered, his eyes holding a special hopeful kind of spark making Emily's knee's weak and heart melt, she honestly couldn't have said no if she'd actually wanted to.
'Of course,' she replied, kissing him passionately, their picnic dinner forgotten.
3. Mockingbird – Eminem
Derek couldn't believe it; she was seriously walking away from him now, with his two daughters in tow. He didn't know how he'd let it get to this, sure they fought, argued, had disagreements but nothing of this magnitude, nothing that would warrant her asking him for a divorce. His ears were still ringing from her last sentence to him, 'I've already got a flight booked, and I'm taking the girls to France for a while, to visit my mother.'
France, she was taking the two most precious things in his world halfway across the world to a foreign country and he couldn't stop her. He didn't understand how it had gotten so far gone that she'd had to resort to leaving the country to get away from him but he wasn't going to give up, his epiphany was way too late but he'd had it anyway. Six months later and he was on a plane to the French Alps hoping to get the 3 most important women in his life back. He'd made a mistake, she'd made a mistake, they'd made a mistake; they were meant for each other, there was no way one fight could possible tear them apart and Derek hoped that he wasn't six months too late.
4. So Over You – Auburn
Emily sighed, she was sure it was the right thing to do but she couldn't help but feel like she should be over him already. It had been months, months, six months to be exact and she still had this deep yearning, longing for him. She couldn't understand why, after everything that had happened between them, she still had this deep, heart stopping, breath taking love for him. It was irrational, illogical, impractical and every other word out there. How could she honestly still love him after all that time? She didn't understand but talking to him now, she really wanted to say, 'I'm so over you,' but it just wouldn't be true.
5. Like I Love You – Justin Timberlake
'You know, he'll never love you like I do Emily,' Derek muttered drunkenly. Emily and Garcia looked at him shocked; they had not been expecting that revelation.
'You don't know what you're talking about Morgan,' Emily replied, trying not to think too much about it. Derek however shook his head adamantly.
'But it's true Emily! No one will ever love you like I do,' Derek insisted. Emily was slightly embarrassed, a faint pink tinge making its way across her cheeks.
'Don't be silly Morgan, you're drunk. You don't love me,' she whispered. She really didn't want to believe him but something about the conviction in his voice had her believing him.
'Pfft, that's what you think Em,' Derek slurred and in the next instant his lips were on hers and it was the sweetest drunken kiss she'd ever had and she couldn't deny the way her stomach flip flopped at Derek's touch. Maybe Derek wasn't as drunk as she thought he was if he could kiss like that.

AN: Right so I've started these again and they'll predominately be Morgan/Prentiss. Um, I've decided to cut down to 5 each chapter now instead of ten. Sorry if there are any mistakes, I wrote this on a 24 hour day, meaning I've not had any sleep yet. Please R&R. . :)
