Chapter 11:
"Did they just kiss," Emily asked the older man beside her as Morgan walked with Garcia into her bunker.
Rossi only nodded in response.
"So that means their together now, right," Emily asked next.
"It better otherwise I'm having another talk with the boy," Rossi replied before he started walking towards his office.
Emily smiled over at Garcia's office one more time before following him.
30 minutes later…
"What," Morgan asked Emily who had been looking at him funny for the past ten minutes.
"Nothing just trying to figure out whether or not I've ever seen you this happy," Emily answered.
"You haven't," Morgan admitted, "I've never been this happy before."
Emily smiled, "And just think this could've happened a lot sooner if you'd listened to me the first time."
Morgan shook his head leave it to her to take some credit for what had happened over the weekend. Just to placate her ego a bit though he said, "Alright so I should've told her sooner, but the wait was worth it believe me."
Emily laughed, "I'll take your word for it but do me a favor and spare me the details. I've heard enough tales from your love life as it is."
"Yeah and I keep telling you hearing about it is not the same as experiencing it," Morgan quipped back in between laughs of his own.
Emily rolled her eyes in mock disgust as the youngest member of their team joined them in the bullpen.
"Do I even want to know," Reid asked as he set his bag down.
"Depends," Emily answered.
"Depends on what," Reid asked even more confused.
"On whether or not you were aware of how completely and totally in love with Garcia Morgan was," Emily answered.
"Oh," Reid said as an enlightened look came over his face, "So that's why you turned down every girl that asked you to dance that night."
Emily gave him a look that clearly said duh before shaking her head.
What's going on," Hotch asked he approached the three of them.
"Oh nothing much," Emily answered, "It's just that poor Reid here was left in the dark once again."
Hotch nodded it was something that they were all used to. He then looked at an obviously happy Morgan and said, "Anything I need to know?"
Morgan shook his, "I'm pretty sure you already know.'
"Alright," Hotch said with a nod of approval before he left the group and headed towards his office.
"Oooh! Don't you feel special," Emily teased Morgan once their supervisor was gone.
"Yeah I got the mighty nod of approval from the boss man," Morgan agreed with a grin.
"Exactly," Emily replied with a nod, "How does this make you feel?"
"Like I can conquer the world," Morgan replied back sarcastically before of them stopped their banter and actually got to work.
Two hours later…
"Come in,' Morgan heard his boss call out not long after knocking on his door.
"I need you to sign off on these here,' Morgan said as soon as he was inside Hotch's office.
Hotch nodded and reached for the paperwork in Morgan hand silently he signed off on the paperwork and didn't say another word until Morgan turned to leave. "Morgan stay for a minute."
Morgan nodded before turning back around and sitting down just as Hotch had requested.
Once he was seated Hotch said, "Like you earlier I don't think I need to tell you that you have my approval. I couldn't be happier for either one of you."
"Thank you,' Morgan cut in when Hotch paused briefly.
Hotch nodded, "I'll handle Strauss but even that shouldn't be too much of a problem because everybody's used to you to by now."
Morgan nodded another thank you of sorts before Hotch went on to say, "Unlike me you haven't let this job consume you, maybe it's her I don't know, all I know is that you don't want to make the same mistake that I did when push came to shove I chose this job over my family and it cost me. Don't make that same choice choose them every time."
"I will," Morgan vowed with a nod before he stood up to leave.
Meanwhile at Garcia's bunker…
"Okay what's going on," JJ asked after entering her friend's office and noticing an extremely happy Garcia.
Turning to her with a smile Garcia said, 'Derek and I… we uh…"
Noticing the slight blush had as she tired to answer her JJ interrupted her saying, 'Oh Garcie I'm so happy for you."
Just like that the blush quickly went away, "He's as wonderful as I ever thought h would be and after all these years he's mine."
JJ smiled, "Don't let him hear you say that," She then teased gently as she gave her friend a small hug.
"I don't mind," Both blondes then heard a voice say from the doorway.
JJ moved away and smiled over at Morgan before saying, "I'll see you at lunch, and we'll talk more then.'
Garcia nodded and JJ was gone leaving the two of them alone.
Moving over to her Morgan knelt in front of her and said, "As I was saying I don't mind as long as you don't mind being mine."
Garcia smiled and they kissed before she whispered reply, "That's one thing I could never have a problem with."
"Good," He replied before kissing her again and again. Finally he pulled away and put a little distance before things got any more carried away.
