A Bad Week Turns Into 2
Chapter 2
Birthday Party and Morgan's Arrested

AN: I don't anything you see. I changed when the cops showed up at Morgan's mom's house. I thought it was crucial to interrupt her birthday, so I am changing it till the next morning. Remember Garcia already knows about his past.

Garcia woke up snuggling into Morgan's arms. They'd gotten to Chicago after eight the night before and they had been tired. After dinner they'd just went to bed in his old room. She didn't want to get out of bed, but they both had a busy day ending with his mom's birthday party that night. She'd only wanted it to be them and his sisters there instead of something big. They had kept to her wishes and it was only going to be the five of them.

"Morning Princess," Morgan said with smile kissing the top of her head.

"I'll show you a good morning, hot stuff," she said planning on doing that till somebody knocked on the door. She groaned burying her face into his neck.

"Mom said to get down stairs now," Desiree Morgan said at her brother's door.

"Go away," Derek said back not wanting to get up at the moment.

"If you don't mom's coming up here after you," Desiree said with a smile before she left.

Garcia started nipping at his neck soon as Des had left. "She wasn't joking, my mom will come up here after us," Morgan said with smile.

"You're mine tonight Agent Morgan, I'm going to tease you all day too," she added before moving out of his arms.

"Promises, Promises, Garcia," he teased before getting up, "I told Des that I'd take her to the store later, but I have to go somewhere first," Morgan said as he got dressed.

"I know, you go do that and I'm going to help Sarah with the cake and food."

"Just don't believe a word she tells you about me, it's not true," he said before pulling her into his arms.

"You worried about her, I got so much ammo on you, handsome I'd worry about me instead of her," she teased before kissing him.

"You wouldn't dare?" he asked before tickling her when she named their favorite movie.

Fran Morgan was sitting in the kitchen with her two daughters when Derek and Penelope finally came down ten minutes later. "I was wondering if you were ever going to come down," she said with a smile.

Garcia sat down beside Morgan with smile. "I know we said presents tonight, but I don't think I can keep this one a secret any longer," she said before taking the necklace she'd been wearing off and putting the engagement ring on her finger.

"You got engaged?" Fran asked looking at the ring before she got up and hugged them both.

"I knew you two were too happy last night to just be coming to visit," Sarah said.

"What, can't I be happy to see mom and you two?" Morgan asked getting a hug from Desiree.

"Not that happy, no," Des said, "I'm happy for you, Derek."

"We all are," Fran said, "Best birthday present you could have given me," she replied before they finished eating.

The rest of the day Morgan and Garcia spent apart, she stayed with Sarah helping get ready for that night while Morgan went to visit the cemetery before taking Desiree to the store. The run in with Rodney had pissed him off, but the guy backed off, he wasn't scared of him, never had been. He'd taken Desiree back to Sarah's before going to the Youth Center to see James. Before going back to his mom's he dropped Damien a friend of James' off at his house.

Garcia and Sarah got back to Fran's house as Derek pulled up. "Hey, handsome, ready for some cake?" she asked.

"If I can eat it off you," he whispered in her ear as he hugged her.

"Knock it off you two," Sarah teased, but she was happy for her brother, this year he had not only given their mom what she'd wanted, but her as well. She was glad to know that after loosing their dad he'd gotten himself back on track, and Penelope proved that even more.

"I might be younger than you, but I can still take you down," Morgan said with smile at his older sister.

"Don't you dare," Sarah replied back, "I'll sick mom on you," she added.

Pen laughed at their playful sibling banter. It was nice to see him around his family; this side of him was wonderful to see. "Behave you two," they heard from the front door as his mom came out to greet them.

"She was being mean to me," Derek said wrapping his arms around Pen before he went to get the rest of the dishes they'd brought over.

Two hours later they were singing happy birthday to Fran at the table. "This looks wonderful," she said after blowing out her candles.

"I wouldn't know, they wouldn't let me near the kitchen," Derek said.

"For good reason too," Sarah said, "Your future husband here about burnt the kitchen down when he was twelve I believe," she said looking over at her brother.

"We still get cards from the fire department every year," Desiree said with smile.

"One mistake and I still can't live it down," he replied laughing.

"He must have learned how not to set fires now because he's a great cook," Garcia said taking up for him.

"Thank you, baby girl," Morgan said.

Half hour later they were sitting around as Fran opened her gifts. Derek got her an automatic car starter so she wouldn't have to have a cold car on the cold mornings.

"Thank you," she said after he explained what it was, "However, just you two getting engaged was enough for me," she replied.

Sarah and Des took the box to put it on the table with the other gifts she'd opened already. "I want one," Sarah commented as she walked away.

"Like I'd get you one for that rust bucket of yours," Morgan said back with laugh as his sisters left the room.

"What do you two have planned for tomorrow?" Fran asked.

"I have no idea, he said it's a surprise and will not tell me anything," Pen said.

"I am not going to tell you, you'll just have to wait," he said.

"I hate surprises though," Garcia said back hoping he'd spill something about what he was up to.

"He's never going to tell you, trust me when he wants to surprise you, he never gives hints," Fran said smiling at the two of them, "I can't believe how late it is," she said looking at the clock.

"It's already after eleven?" Pen asked before she remembered the time difference, even though it wasn't much, it did make a difference.

"I'm going to go to bed, I'm beat," Fran said with smile, "I'll see you two in the morning," she said with smile.

"Night mom," Derek said.

"Night, Fran," Pen replied back.

Hour later Morgan and Garcia were lounging on the couch watching some old movie they'd found, snuggled up together. "What you thinking about?" Garcia asked looking up at him.

"Nothing, I'll be fine," he assured her running his hand through her hair.

"Does this have anything to do with that guy today, Des told me about it." she replied.

"Not really, I'm not scared of Rodney, never have been, he's just an ass who thinks he can push people around," Morgan said.

"You know I could help you out, do some computer magic," she said with smile.

"No way, you're not messing with him, I don't want you near him," Derek said with serious tone.

"Okay, I won't, I promise." She said knowing not to play about this, "I called to see how Clooney was, and Haley said he doesn't miss us."

"She spoils him just like you do," Morgan said with smile knowing she'd object to it.

"Not as much as you do, Derek, and don't say you don't either, I can prove it with the pictures I have of you two," she protested before he could say anything else.

"Okay, okay, you win, everybody spoils Clooney," Morgan replied with a laugh.

"Come on, hot stuff, we need some sleep," Garcia said sitting up before they went upstairs.

"What if I don't wanna sleep?" Morgan asked her as he shut the door picking her up.

Morgan and Penelope were the first ones up the next morning; they were cleaning up from the night before. "Here, I made coffee," Garcia said before the doorbell rang. "I'll get it, you go start breakfast," she said with smile giving him a kiss.

Derek kissed her back before going in the kitchen. Garcia opened the door finding two police officers and two guys who looked like detectives the way they were dressed. "Can I help you?" she asked.

"Is Derek Morgan here?" one of them asked.

"Yeah, but what does this concern?" Pen asked again.

Morgan came back in the living room to see who was at the door since he hadn't heard anything. "What do you want?" he asked seeing Stan Gordinski standing on the other side of the door along with three other cops.

"You need to come with us, Derek," Gordinski said not paying any attention to Garcia, "Do you have your weapon on you?" he asked next.

"He asked what do you want?" Penelope said again looking at the guy, she knew who he was now, and Morgan had told her about him.

"Penelope go in the other room," Morgan said, he really didn't want her near this guy.

"Listen to your boyfriend," the other guy said.

"The hell I will, whatever you have to say you can say it in front of me too," Garcia said not expecting what came next.

"Fine, Derek Morgan you're under arrest," Gordinski said before he moved passed Garcia putting the cuffs on Morgan.

"Shit," Morgan said, "Are you even going to tell me what this is about?" he asked as the officer started reading him his rights. He knew he was screwed, whatever this was about something that hadn't happened in the last twenty-four hours or so he thought.

"I'm coming with you," Garcia tried.

"No, stay here, I'll be fine, they don't know what they're doing," he said.

Garcia shut the door back before going to find her cell phone, she had to call Hotch and now, she knew Morgan was in trouble and right now she was the only one on the team that knew about his past. She knew everything, there was just one thing she didn't know, and she was going to find out in the next few days.

Hotch was sitting at his desk, he'd just walked into the office when his cell phone rang. "Hotchner," he said.

"Hotch, Morgan's in trouble," Garcia said into the phone trying to get it out, she didn't know what to say and it had taken her a minute to think of something, "He was arrested, by some detective, you need to get here, he's in over his head," she replied.

"What happened?" Hotch asked on his way out of the office towards Gideon's office.

"I don't know, sir, the detective just showed up and arrested him, he didn't even say why just read him his rights and put the cuffs on him," she said before she saw Fran and Sarah coming down the stairs, "I have to go, please just come help him, Hotch," she said hanging up the phone.

"I'll do what I can, and we'll be there soon as we can," Hotch said before hanging up the phone. "Morgan's been arrested, Garcia just called me."

"What was he arrested for?" Gideon asked looking stunned.

"The detective didn't tell either of them, I'm pretty sure we're going to get a call soon," Hotch said and as if on cue Gideon's phone rang on the desk. He picked it up and after short conversation he hung up.

"He's been arrested for murder," Gideon said not believing his the words he'd just said or what he'd just heard, "The CPD wants us on the next plane out there too," he added before they went to get the rest of the team and head to Chicago.

"He didn't say why he arrested Derek?" Sarah asked sitting down beside her mom.

"No, I need to go down there," Pen said getting up, "Hotch and them will be there in few hours and I have to be there, but please stay here, I know you want to go down there, but he wouldn't want you to see him…" she trailed off, she was nervous, what exactly was she going to do there yet, she wouldn't be able to protect his secret when Gideon and Hotch found out. She wanted to though, she'd even tried deleting the sealed file three months ago when he'd told her, but he'd made her promise not to, but not say anything about it and she hadn't. She just didn't know if she could now.

Morgan had been sitting in the interrogation room for almost three hours. He was pissed at the moment, he was being accused of killing three boys when he knew he didn't do it, he'd even found one of them back when he was thirteen, he'd collected the money to bury him as well. He was staring at the pictures on the table; he knew that Hotch and the team were on their way here, he just hoped they got there soon, even though he really didn't want them there. The secrets he'd been keeping were going to come out; he just had to find a way to keep them from looking. Garcia had tried to delete the record and if he hadn't told her not to because it wouldn't look to good if it all of a sudden disappeared even though it was technically nonexistent. He'd told Penelope everything, except the one thing he was still keeping inside, the one thing he was never letting out of his mouth.
