*A/N: Sorry this chapter was a little long in coming, got a trifle sidetracked with the actual book that I'm writing. But I knew that I had to finish Derek and ShaKira's story. This will probably be the last chapter…maybe.

*I do NOT own Criminal Minds. I just love the show…a lot.*

Derek paced back and forth in the waiting room, his hands rubbing his bald head as he waited for word from the doctor on ShaKira's situation. Garcia sat in a waiting room chair talking to Prentiss who was rushing on her way to the hospital. Derek tried to block out the conversation but certain words kept slipping through, "Problems," "Complications," "Trouble," and "Emergency" and filled him with fear, intense mind-numbing fear. Slamming his fist against the wall he stood next to, Derek groaned in agony and squeezed his eyes shut as he began to pray for the first time since Garcia had been shot, Please God, please. I just found her. Please don't take her and our baby away from me. Please let her pull through. Please. He looked up when the doctor walked out and approached him.

"Mr. Morgan?" he questioned.

Nodding his head, Derek responded, "That's me."

"Your wife and the baby are fine, we had to do an emergency Cesarean but since she was due to deliver in a few weeks, we feel confident that she and the baby will both be released within a few days," the doctor informed him.

Not reacting to the doctor's mistake that ShaKira was his wife, Derek remembered the puddle of blood and ShaKira's collapse at the house, "Can you tell me what happened? She was bleeding and she passed out," he asked the doctor.

"Her placenta was tearing away from her uterus, that coupled with the labor pains that she was already experiencing caused the blood and the loss of consciousness," the doctor explained.

Nodding his head, Derek sighed. "Can I see them?" he asked as he felt relief flood over his body.

"In a few minutes, we're just transferring them both to the maternity ward and then one of the nurses will be by to bring you to their room," the doctor stated slapping Derek good-naturedly on his shoulder. Derek turned and hugged Garcia fiercely with relief just as the rest of the BAU team arrived. "Oh and Mr. Morgan? Your wife wanted me to tell you that your son's name is Derek Junior. She said that you'd want to know," the doctor interjected before turning to return to his duties.

"Wife?" Prentiss squeaked out.

"Son?" Reid gasped.

Derek's eyes blinked as the reality of his situation sunk in upon him. He was a father! He had a son. Sinking slowly into a waiting room chair, Derek let the conversation of his coworkers flow over him as he struggled to calm his breathing. "It's kind of overwhelming huh?" Hotch said as he came to sit next to Derek.

"Overwhelming ain't the half of it Hotch. I mean, he's here now you know? He's got to be taken cared of and loved. With my job and the hours we pull, how am I supposed to teach him out to be a man? I lost my father when I was still pretty young and if it hadn't been for the community center , even with all that I went through with Buford, I mean I think I came out pretty well. But what about my son? I mean I'll be there whenever we don't have a case, but we always have a case and ShaKira will have to raise him," he grimaced when he remembered what ShaKira had said about her eval after six months. "And her job is a whole lot more dangerous than mine is. What's going to happen to my son Hotch?" Derek asked, his voice coming out in a harsh whisper.

"Your son is going to be fine. Look at Jack. He's a smart, well-adjusted young man and I was hardly around, Hayley had to do most of the raising, then Foyet came along and then Hayley died. I think that it's what you do when you're with them that determines if they turn out okay," Hotch encouraged him. Derek nodded and inhaled deeply, seeing a nurse approaching them he exhaled and stood quickly.

"Mr. Morgan?" the nurse asked, her eyes roving over his muscled physique appreciatively. Derek nodded, completely oblivious to the seductive glances the woman was throwing his way. "They're ready for you now." Derek smiled and gestured for the rest of the team to follow him as he walked with the nurse to ShaKira's room in the maternity ward. The team waited outside as Derek opened the door and stepped in. He paused as he stared at the beautiful sight in front of him. ShaKira sat up on the bed, the pink cover and white sheet pulled up to her waist, dressed in a blue robe that hugged her breasts beautifully, her hair hung down and surrounded her face as she held Derek Junior in her arms and looked down at him with a gorgeous smile on her face. She looked up as he stepped closer to look down at the newborn in her arms.

"Oh Derek! Isn't he amazing?" she asked breathlessly.

"Yes he is and so are you," Derek responded kissing her temple as he sat on the edge of her bed. The two new parents sat and stared adoringly at their newborn son for a few minutes before ShaKira stirred and looked at Derek.

"I never got a chance to answer your question," she murmured quietly as she caressed his face.

"Hmm?" Derek muttered looking at her with a question in his eyes.

"Remember you asked me to marry you?" ShaKira reminded him.

"Of course I do," Derek said with a smile.

"Well, I never got a chance to officially answer you."

Gathering ShaKira and Derek Junior into his arms, Derek glanced down at her, "So what's your answer?" he questioned.

"Yes. My answer is yes. I love you so much Derek and I would love to marry you. I can tell the Pentagon to leave me on Tele-Com work so I can stay home with D.J. If you don't mind of course," she said hesitantly.

Realizing that his fears were being laid to rest quickly, Derek grinned widely. "I don't mind at all. I love the idea! Thank you for saying yes. I love you," he whispered before kissing her deeply and then leaning down to kiss the top of D.J.'s head. Reaching into the pocket of his leather jacket, Derek pulled out the white ring box that he'd shoved there in the confusion of rushing to the hospital. Opening the box he revealed the large 3-carat diamond ring to ShaKira before lifting it out and placing it on her finger. Smiling down at the ring then up at Derek, she leaned over and kissed him deeply, pulling back seconds before the door opened.

"We wanted to give you guys some time alone, but we want to see Baby Derek!" Prentiss laughed, sticking her head in the door.

"Come on in everyone and let me introduce you to Derek Morgan Junior and let me reintroduce to you his mother, my fiance, ShaKira Burrowes," Derek said with a smile as he wrapped his arm around his new family.

As the BAU team cooed over his son and JJ, Prentiss and Garcia exclaimed over the size and cut of ShaKira's engagement ring, Derek sat back with a smile of contentment. He had met his match and though he'd always sworn that he would never give up the game, he was only too happy to turn in his player card. Looking at ShaKira and Derek Junior Derek decided that they were worth it.

*Thanks for sticking with me through this story! With work and writing my own book and changes in the house I got ENORMOUSLY sidetracked. But it's over now and I must say, I like the way it ended, don't you? Hope you enjoyed it! I look forward to any reviews. By the way, if you haven't read my other story "Agent Kara Morgan" I encourage you to do so, I've got two more parts coming up to it that my muse has blessed me with. One is more focused on Derek's relationship with Kara before she met the BAU and her wild three week affair with Hotch, and the other part is all about what happens when Hotch and Kara return to the BAU. You'll enjoy it. I promise!! Thanks again!!~ VeeVeeBestoftheBest
