Derek and Penelope had yet to tell anyone they were together, and Fran said she would hold off on telling Rossi about the new relationship.

Sunday night over Mexican food and beer, they decided Monday was going to be the day they told everyone.

Over the course of the weekend Penelope all but moved in with Derek. The transition from friends to being in a deeper, more meaningful relationship was quite easy.

So here it was Monday morning and Derek was excited and Penelope was a little nervous.

Derek watched as Penelope flat ironed her hair.

"Derek do you find me straightening my hair fascinating?"

"Mama I find everything you do fascinating."

Penelope chuckled and said, "Someone has it bad."

Derek chuckled back and said, "I guess I do, don't I?"

Penelope asked, "Are you nervous about telling everyone?"

"Baby girl why should we be nervous? I am pretty sure at some point our team knew this was going to happen. If anything they were probably wondering what in the hell took so long."

Penelope smiled at Derek. She thought to herself, "Damn that man always knows what to say."

Once they were both dressed, they found themselves in the kitchen making breakfast, and coffee. They moved together like a well oiled machine.

When Derek would need to grab a pot or pan, wordlessly Penelope would move out of the way, but still continued using the French press. If Penelope needed to reach coffee cups Derek would tilt his head so she could reach the cabinets but never stopped scrambling the eggs.

Once they were done eating, they gathered their things and headed out. Once in Derek's SUV, Derek turned to Penelope and said, "Baby I need to talk to you."

Penelope tilted her head and asked, "About what?"

Derek took a deep breath and said, "I have always been honest with you, I tell you everything."

Penelope felt her stomach drop.

"Sweetheart it isn't that bad." Derek took a ragged breath and said, "P mama didn't raise a fool, so I am going to tell you this….Tamara left me quite a few voicemail messages the other day."

Penelope said slowly, "Okaaaay."

"I wanted to tell you, because I would want you to tell me if your ex called you, and said they wanted you back."

Penelope angry said, "She said what?!"

Derek put his hands up and said, "Woah mama hold your horses. No need to get mad, trust me I don't want her back."

"Derek, after these past couple of days, I don't doubt what we have at all. I know you, and I know your heart. Plus I know for a fact Fran would kill you, and Des and Sarah would hide your body, not to mention what the team would do to you….."

"Then what is it baby?"

"Derek this might sound silly to you, but no one messes with what's mine."

Derek smirked, cocked and eyebrow and asked, "Yours?"

Penelope laughed and said, "Agent Morgan you heard me."

Derek smiled and said, "Say it again."

"You Derek Morgan are mine."

"Now that's what I want to hear."

Penelope and Derek road the elevator up to the bullpen. They stepped out and into a sea of activity.

Reid was attempting to do more physics magic. JJ had to duck twice to avoid getting hit in the head. Rossi rolled his eyes and continued reading his paper and sipping his coffee. Emily was throwing balled up pieces of paper at Spencer. There were agents from different departments actually doing work.

Penelope said to Derek, "I am going to head into my lair and wake my babies up."

Derek squeezed Penelope's shoulder and said, "Mama I will call you when there is good time to tell the team."

Penelope nodded and headed to her office.

Emily asked, "Hey Morgan what did you do this weekend?"

"I watched a whole lot of basketball."

Reid stopped his "magic" and said, "Studying hard just so I can beat you again?"

Derek smirked knowing that Penelope had already started working on the software to help him for once beat Spencer.

"Pretty boy don't get ahead of yourself."

Spencer rolled his eyes and said, "Sure Morgan, whatever you say."

Derek shrugged and asked, "So Emily what did you get into this weekend?"

Emily replied, "I went to an art gallery opening with this guy I met in New York."

JJ said, "That sounds interesting. So is he cute?"

Emily smiled and said, "He is hot, British, and an agent."

Rossi smiled and said, "Is that some sort of trifecta?"

Emily and JJ laughed and said, "Yes."

Emily continued, "So anyway…." Emily looked pointedly at Derek and said, "I ran into someone interesting."

Derek looked confused and asked, "Who?"

Emily flatly said, "Tamara Barnes."

Derek thought, "Oh shit."

Derek coolly asked, "Well what did she say?"

Emily replied, "She said a bunch. Poor girl was three sheets to the wind."

Derek grimaced and asked, "That bad huh?"

Emily chuckled and said, "Oh yeah. She wanted me to tell you, that she is sorry, and wants another chance. She also went into very unnecessary details about certain body parts. That was when I had the bartender cut her off."

Rossi cocked his eyebrow and asked, "You two broke up."

Derek rubbed his hand over his head and said, "Excuse me; I need to make a call."

Derek walked into the break room and called Penelope. "Hey baby girl, looks like we need to tell them now."

Penelope asked, "Why so soon love bug."

Derek replied, "Emily knows Tamara and I are not together."

"Alright this Oracle of all knowing will see you in a second."

Derek sat back down at the bullpen. He noticed the questioning glances Emily was throwing his way.

Derek looked directly at Emily and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Emily laughed and said, "You wanna hear the rest of what she said?"

Derek grumbled, "Not really. But I guess you are going to tell me anyway."

"Yep I sure am."

Rossi laughed and said, "Well get on with it."

Emily said, "Well it seems our Mr. Morgan broke Ms. Barnes heart. God Derek that woman was so trashed I understood why you broke up with her."

Derek laughed and said, "Yeah maybe Tamara wasn't my best idea."

JJ said, "No shit Sherlock."

Rossi laughed so hard he thought coffee was going to come out of his nose.

Penelope walked up behind Derek and said, "Now."

Derek wrapped his arm around Penelope and said, "Rossi you win the pot."

Rossi actually spit his coffee out. Spencer's eyes bugged out of his head, JJ laughed and Emily pulled 200 bucks out of her wallet. She tossed the cash at Rossi and grinned. Spencer dug around his bag and pulled out 200 dollars, and JJ went in her purse and chucked the cash at Rossi.

Rossi looked at Derek and said, "I guess Fran told you."

JJ asked, "Fran. As in Fran Morgan?"

Rossi's eyes darted around the room.

Emily said, "Let me get this straight Rossi, you have been talking to Morgan's mom."

Rossi put his hands up in mock surrender and said, "Hey guys it was just coffee, and dinner."

Derek felt his jaw tick. "Rossi what do you mean dinner?"

Spencer was delighted at the turn of events. It is about time someone annoyed the crap out of Morgan.

Rossi sighed and said, "Yeah we had dinner at this great Italian place."

Derek looked at Rossi and asked, "Do I even need to threaten you?"

Rossi looked at Derek and said, "Morgan I respect your mom, and not just because she is your mother. Fran Morgan is one helluva woman."

Derek pointed at Rossi and said, "For now I will let it go."

Penelope messaged Derek's shoulders and said, "Way to be a big boy."

Hotch came down to the bullpen and said, "Since we are not on any cases, and Team B is going out into the field, I would like for you guys to get as much paperwork done as possible. It looks like the director is going to give us week off starting Wednesday."

Rossi called out, "Hey Hotch."

Hotch turned on his heels and said, "Yes Dave."

Rossi grinned and said, "I want my 200 bucks."

Hotch let the information seep in and said, "Well it's about time." Hotch pulled two crisp bills out of his wallet and handed them to Rossi, and headed back up the stairs.

The team got started on their paperwork. Penelope headed back to her lair to start filing the paperwork the team had already filled out.

After a quiet and boring morning, the agents found themselves almost done. Derek was signing his name to the very last folder. He stood up and stretched and said, "I'll be back."

Rossi said, "Son that office has cameras."

Derek grinned and said, "Helps that my woman is goddess of all knowledge."

Hotch was standing behind Derek and said, "Morgan leave the door open."

Emily laughed so hard she had tears in her eyes.

Derek blushed. This only made Emily laugh harder. Rossi and Spencer couldn't help it they started laughing too.

Morgan just turned around on his heels and headed towards Penelope's office.

Derek leaned on the door frame and watched Penelope work a million miles a minute.

Penelope said, "Handsome are you just going to stare at me or are you actually going to come in?"

Derek strode over to Penelope and kissed her forehead and said, "I missed you baby girl."

"I missed you too hot stuff."

Derek wrapped his arms around Penelope's shoulders and asked, "So what are you doing this afternoon?"

Penelope smiled up at him and said, "Well I was going to go home with this smoking hot agent...but…."

Derek asked, "But what?"

Penelope replied, "I need to go home Derek. I haven't been to my apartment for a week."

Derek sighed and said, "But I don't want you to go home."

"Derek I can't just not go home. All my stuff is there."

Derek said, "Baby if you need to go home, I understand but I don't like it."

"Derek you know I will miss you too."

"What if I came home with you?"

"Derek your legs are longer than my bed."

Derek kissed Penelope's cheek and said, "Don't care. I would miss you way too much. Don't you want me to sleep?"

Derek unleashed the puppy dog eyes.

"Damn it Derek don't look at me like that."

"So then will you come home with me?"

Penelope sighed and asked, "How can I say no to that face?"

Derek smirked and said, "You can't."

Penelope smacked Derek's arm.

JJ knocked on Penelope's office door and smiled at her two friends. JJ said, "Derek, Hotch said as long as we are done we are free to go. He sees no reason for us to come in tomorrow so our vacation starts early. Oh and PG... Emily and I want you to come to the mall with us tomorrow. "

Penelope giggled and asked, "Do I have a choice?"

JJ pointedly replied, "No."

Derek laughed and said, "JJ I guess I can part with her for one afternoon."

JJ said, "Nope you are parting with her for lunch, shopping, dinner, and maybe a drink or two."

Derek said, "JJ that is just mean."

Penelope said, "Baby boy you can go one day without me."

"Woman what did I just tell you?"

Penelope laughed and said, "Jayje that sounds great. And Derek….. Penelope whispered something in Derek's ear that got him to grin from ear to ear.

JJ said, "And that is my cue to leave. P I will pick you up at noon."

Penelope looked at Derek and said, "JJ pick me up from Derek's."

JJ laughed and left.

Derek sighed and said, "Mama I don't consider that place just mine anymore. How would you feel about moving in with me?"

Penelope was shocked. "D a-are you sure?"

"Penelope you are there all the time anyway. Plus we can sublet your apartment. It will also save me the trouble of begging you to come home with me every night."

Penelope turned around and started typing.

"Baby girl if you aren't ready…"

"Derek hand me the paper from the printer, I need to fill it out."

Derek read the paper and smiled. It was a change of address form.
