Baby It's Cold Outside-Ch 7
Epilogue 5 Years Later
Hotch and the rest of the team are finishing up their paperwork from the last case when they looked up to see Derek, Penelope and their newest addition stepping off the elevator. JJ rubbed her hands and said, "ohhhh there they are, there they are" as she walked toward them.
4 Year old Hank Spencer Morgan saw his uncle Reid and ran across the room to him and jumped up into his lap and wrapped his arms around his neck. Reid said, "hi buddy", Hank giggled and said, "hiiiiiiii", Reid ruffled his hair as the little boy held up his new book and said, "pweaseeeeeeee".
Reid being helpless to deny his nephew anything nodded his head yes as he opened the book and started reading to the little boy. Dave walked over and kissed Penelope on the cheek and said, "how are you doing kitten"?, she said, "good papa bear, tired but good.
Maddison the Morgans 2 year old daughter saw her Nonno and ran over to him and held her arms up and Dave happily picked up the little girl and kissed her little cheeks. Penelope sighed and grinned as she handed over the newest addition their son Zachary to his aunt JJ.
Emily said, "I get dibs next", Hotch said, "what am I chopped liver"?, Emily kissed her husband on the lips and said, "no my love". Hotch winked at her and said, "you're lucky you're cute", she laughed and said, "so are you, so are you" as they stood looking down at the sleeping child.
Dave looked at Maddi and said, "have you been a good girl"?, she nodded her head and said, "uh huh", Dave said, "well in that case" and reached into the top drawer of a cabinet and pulled out a cookie and then said, "here you go princess" causing the little girl to giggle as she took cookie into her hands.
Derek said, "what are you suppose to say baby girl"?, she looked at Dave and said, "fanks", Dave kissed the end of the little girls nose and said, "you're welcome honey". He then looked up and said, "I just got off the phone with your mom a few minutes ago".
Derek said, "and how is aunt Mae doing"?, Dave said, "she's doing good and your mom said that hopefully next week she'll be able to come back home to us". Penelope said, "I know she misses everybody and believe me when I say we miss her to".
Dave said, "I hear ya kitten, I hear ya" as he tickled Madison causing her to squeal, Hank laughed and said, "what happens next, what happens next". Reid said, "well then" and he tickles the little boy causing him to say, "do it again, do it again" and Reid tickles him again and again and again.
Hotch said, "how is Zach handling the cold weather"?, Penelope said, "so far so good, we just bundle him up and make sure he's covered when we take him out". Emily said, "how did the doctors appointment go"?, Derek said, "good, he's growing and gaining weight right on schedule".
JJ said, "that's great news as she looked down at the little face of the little boy that stole her heart, Penelope said, "are we all still on for dinner this weekend"?, everybody nodded their heads and Penelope said, "good, good, it feels like forever since we've had a family dinner".
Reid said, "it does but it's actually only been 5 weeks 2 day 22 hours 14 minutes and 3, 4, 5 seconds", Derek laughed and said, "only you pretty boy, only you". As Penelope stood around looking at her family she couldn't help but remember 5 years ago when she finally got her hotstuff.
She started humming and Derek said, "that sounds familiar, what is that you're humming"?, she giggled and said, "baby it's cold outside" causing Derek to laugh. He leaned down and whispered, "it wasn't cold that night though was it goddess"?, she winked at him and said, "no it wasn't my love, no it wasn't".
As they stood there with their family Derek sighed happily and knew that right now his life with his baby girl and his family was as close to perfect as it was going to get.
