A Criminal Minds Fanfic

By: Ewriter (Emma-lee)

Disclaimer: I don't own Criminal Minds; if I did there would be some Reid/JJ, Emily/Hotch, and Morgan/Penelope. But alas I don't own it. Sorry.

"So hot stuff what do you want to do for the rest of our vacation?" Penelope asked tired of just sitting around and only being in the house, though it was fun, it got boring after three days.

"Would you like to go some where baby doll?" He asked running his hands through her hair as she lay on top of him in her bed.

"I don't know, can we please go out somewhere or something? Maybe we can find a house for us together?" She said the last part quietly wondering if he had actually heard her or not.

"Pen, are you saying you want to move in together?" He asked with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Derek, we basically live together already, You and Cloon are always over here and I think we should take the next time and just move in together, but I also want kids soon, adopted preferably, and we will need a bigger place then my little one bedroom apartment here hot stuff, are you okay with it?" She asked uncertain as to what his response would be to kids and a new house, but she hoped they would get them soon.

"Baby girl are you serious? I was thinking about kids last night. I think it is very cute that we are going to adopt. How about today we look at houses and then we go to the adoption agency to talk to them okay? It can be our gifts for each other or today, since it was something big," He said kissing her as she smiled a huge smile.

"Thank you hot stuff," She said kissing him again.

"Wait where you going Pen," He asked as she got up off of him.

"I need a shower are you coming?" She said laughing as he jumped out of bed and followed her.

Later at the third house the two looked at

"Derek, this is the one!" Penelope said as they finished looking at the house, a simple five bedroom, two story house, with a play area as the basement, and it was in their price range.

"Are you sure baby girl?" He asked hoping she was since he loved the house to.

"Yes!" She said and then they walked over to the real estate agents and made all the papers to sign and buy the house and everything that went with it.

The only reason they had gotten the house, fully furnished, and in their price range was because it was being privately sold and once they told their story to the man he gave them a real good deal.

Later as they walked into the orphanage as they had agreed on that

"Hello, I am Mrs. Casey. How may I help you today?" A warm looking women greeted them with a little girl on one hip and her twin on the other.

"Umm, I know it must seem weird but we were wondering if we could adopt, like really soon," Penelope said as she looked worried that they would be denied after not taking the proper steps.

"Oh, well that is lovely, see we are a government employee orphanage, we only adopt out kids to government employees, it is a special program, and it also lets us have less paperwork. I am sorry, I can give you directions to another place if you would like," She said sadly, also wondering why the couple, who seemed keen on adopting, faces didn't fall.

"Well actually Mrs. Casey, I am special agent Derek Morgan, and this is FBI computer analyst Penelope Garcia. Would there be ay way we could adopt like today or something like within the next week?" He asked hoping to get his new, already furnished house, to feel homier while they were still both on vacation.

"Umm, as long as I can call your supervisor first then yes, do you know what kind of child or children you were looking for?" She asked looking around noticing there were not very many children to choose from; there were the two little girls, their triplet brother, two other little boys, slightly older then the triplets, and a 6 year old girl.

"Umm, well we want at least two. I know a little much but if it is possible that is what we want, right Derek?" She asked forgetting they hadn't actually talked about that yet but knew he was okay when he shook his head yes with a smile.

"Well these two and their brother area available, as is that little six year old girl over there, and one boy, one is mine so he has to stay here and is not available. So are there any that have caught your attention?" She asked hoping some of them would have good homes to go to for Christmas this year.

"May Agent Morgan and I have a minute alone please?" Penelope asked hoping Derek was going to agree with her on which ones she wanted to bring home.

"Sure," She said going to put the girls down next to their brother.

"Pen, which ones are you interested in?" He asked knowing which ones he was and hoping she agreed.

"Derek, there are the triplets, the little boy and girl right?" She asked as he questioningly looked at her.

"Yes," He said still puzzled.

"Derek I know this will be hard, and I'll probably have to leave the bureau but I want all of them. I mean they all seem to get along together, and we have the room know. What do you think?" She asked hoping he didn't think it a completely absurd idea.

"I would love that Pen, I know it would be hard at the bureau without you, but I think it is a good thing if we give these kids a home. Especially with Christmas coming don't you think?" He said signaling the women to come back over ad kissing her slightly as she smiled a huge smile with happy tears threatening to spill out of her eyes.

"Have you made a decision Agent Morgan, Ms. Garcia?" She asked wondering who was leaving to a really good home.

"If it isn't too much of a hassle or if we are allowed we were wondering if we could adopt all of them," She said nervously.

"That is very nice of you, I will need to schedule the appointments and talk to your supervisor before you leave, and you will also have to sign some papers okay?" She asked in amazement of what these people were doing.

"Sure, I'll make the appointments while he gets our supervisor on the phone okay?" Penelope said and the lady shook her head taking her over to the desk in the corner as Derek went to get Hotch on the phone.

"Hello, Derek this better be good, I am on vacation!" Hotch said into the phone smiling as he watched Emily play with the three kids on the beach.

"Hotch; Pen and I are at this orphanage. We bought a house earlier and we want our family. It is a special agency. Do you think you could talk to the lady to confirm that Pen and I can adopt these kids?" He asked his boss nervously.

"Congrats Morgan, I would be glad to. But does this mean Penelope will be leaving?" He asked worried that they would be loosing a member of their team.

"For a few months, but she can work from home. Thanks Hotch, his means so much to us! Here is Mrs. Casey," He said handing the phone over to the lady and looking down to see the six year old pulling on his pant leg.

"Hello, what can I do for you?" Derek asked smiling at the little 6 year old.

"Mister, I was wondering which of us you were taking?" She asked shyly.

"Well, we were planning on taking all of you home? Is that okay?" He asked picking her up so he could talk to her face to face.

"Really? My name is Elizabeth; I like that name not Lizzy, only certain people can call me Lizzy. That little boy over there is named Andrew, he is my little brother, and he is four. And the triplets are also our little siblings. Our Mommy and Daddy died in a car accident. The triplets are all two, the boy is named Derek, one of the girls is named Emily, and the other is named Christina. You can tell them apart because Emily had green eyes while Christina has green eyes. Mr. are you going to be our new daddy and that women going to be our new mommy?" She asked opening up to this man because he treated her nicely and actually wanted her to stay with her family.

"Yes. Now Elizabeth would you like to meet your new mommy?" He asked and she shook her head.

They new this would be hard and they accepted that. They got all the papers signed, the appointments scheduled, and the confirmation from Hotch. Then they received the kid's belongings and put the five car seats in Derek's minivan. Then they went of to their new home and then to the store to get everything they would need for their now family of seven. They were all very happy.

Okay, I know how out of character this seems. I was thinking maybe adopting a puppy, but I liked the little kid's story better. Please let me know what you think. As always thanks for reading and gift ideas are appreciated.
