The steaks were grilled the food and drinks were out. The entire backyard was filled with sounds of chewing and chatter.

Henry who woke up from his nap was currently covered in one of Penelope's half melted brownie. Everyone was laughing at his predicament. Henry instead of admitting defeat, decided he was going to eat his brownie anyway. He was picking the chocolate mess up by the fistful much to JJ's dismay.

Will drawled, "Come on JJ he's having fun."

JJ shot Will a look and said, "You clean him up."

Penelope asked Derek, "Are we going to be like that?"

Derek shook his head and said, "Probably."

Derek stood up, picked Henry up and said, "Come on lil man let's get you cleaned up."

Henry's eyes went wide as saucers. "No bath Uncle Derek."

Derek whispered in Henry's ear, "I gotta surprise for you."

Then Derek said to Jack, "Come on Jack I gotta a surprise for you too."

Jack grinned and squealed, "Yaaay."

Emily teasingly said, "Oh god Morgan has a surprise and it involves children."

Hotch laughed and said, "Whatever plan he has involves my son."

Penelope said, "Hey, hey now. Derek is harmless."

Reid laughed and said, "Well he is now. He is afraid of you."

Penelope scoffed and said, "No one is afraid of me. I am a fairy godmother."

Hotch said, "Garcia if you get any scarier we are putting a helmet on Reid."

"Oh come one guys I am not that bad."

Will laughed and said, "Garcia you may look sweet and innocent, but I have seen you angry and it is not pretty."

Penelope rolled her eyes and said, "Oh yeah name one time I have scared all of you."

Everybody started talking all at once.

"Geez guys thanks for the love."

Hotch said, "As a defense attorney I rely on evidence. Garcia tell me the thing you did to get us all new tablets."

Penelope chuckled and said, "Boss man you win the argument."

Hotch nodded is agreement.

Derek got Henry cleaned up and they were on their way back outside. Derek, Henry, and Jack had something in their hands.

Derek told the boys to clear the scene and apprehend any suspects.

The boys were walking towards the back of the house slowly. They were looking up and down, left and right. Jack whispered, "Clear."

Derek nodded in approval. Derek motioned for the boys to go ahead of him.

Jack, Henry, and Derek snuck up on the unsuspecting Unsubs.

Derek yelled, "Apprehend them boys."

Jack and Henry ran around the large picnic table spraying everyone in the backs with their water guns.

Henry's water gun was so big he kept leaning to the side.

Emily and Hotch stood up and ran after Jack.

Will and JJ scrambled to get to Henry.

Derek got Des, and Penelope at the same time.

Penelope with a stern said, "Derek Morgan give me the gun."

Derek smiled and said, "No way mama, you are my prisoner now."

Penelope stood up and grabbed Des, Emily, and JJ by the arm.

The women huffed in the house.

As soon as the girls made it inside, they all started laughing. Penelope went into the kitchen and grabbed the bucket of water balloons she hid in a cabinet.

Penelope and Des stood side by side and JJ and Emily stood behind them . They as quietly as possible carried the bucket outside.

JJ yelled, "Now!" and started pelting the boys with the water balloons.

Emily took on Hotch and Jack, which was funny because Aaron was still trying to take the water balloon away from his son and dodging the air raid.

Will had manage to grab Henry and advanced towards the group of ladies. Will realized quickly that he should have stayed far away. JJ got Will good smack dab in his chest.

Rossi was smart enough to locate the water hose.

Des took a whack at Reid.

Reid didn't know why, but he felt extremely flattered. Des grinned at the boys genius and lobbed another balloon at him.

Derek took off after Penelope. He took aim and started spraying Penelope. Derek knew he was far enough away that any balloon she throws wouldn't hit him.

The grin was wiped off his face, when he realized his princess had a sling shot.

The backyard was in chaos. All the men and the two little boys were coming up with strategies.

Rossi decided he didn't need a tactical plan. Rossi stood on a lawn chair holding the water hose yelling, "Say hello to my little friend."

The girls were soaked.

Des snuck off. She grabbed a cold cup of water and dumped it down the back of Spencer's swim trunks.

Spencer yelped, Henry saw this and immediately went to protect his Uncle Spencer. Henry shoved past the men who laughing at Spencer, took aim and got Des good.

Des reached out for Henry and tickled him. Henry giggled and said, "Sorry Ms. Des."

Des was pleased that the little boy took to her so quickly.

JJ yelled, "Des no fraternization with the enemy.

Des took off, but not before Rossi attacked her with the hose.

All of a sudden there was an ear piercing screech.

Everybody looked where the sound came from.

There standing in front of the French doors that led to Derek and Penelope's house was a very angry, and soaking wet Erin Strauss.

No one moved. Rossi hopped off the chair he was standing on, and turned the hose off.

Jack leaned over and whispered, "Uh-oh".

Everybody dropped their weapons.

Erin took a deep breath and let out a gut busting chuckle.

Through the laughter she said, "Oh god you guys should have seen your faces. David you look like you swallowed your liver, and with all that scotch you are going to need it."

Des whispered to Penelope, "Who is that?"

Penelope replied, "I..I…I am not sure who this version of Strauss is."

Des cringed and said, "Oh so she is Strauss."

Derek moved into action grabbing a towel. Derek said, "Here you go ma'am. I am so…"

Reid said, "We are all so, so…."

Emily finished the thought, "So sorry."

Rossi cringed and walked over to Strauss and said, "Thanks for coming by. I know the kids need to sign the waiver so they can stay at the B.A.U. You know you surprised me by laughing."

Erin whipped away her tears from laughing so hard and said, "David I do still remember how to laugh."

Rossi smiled and said, "That is good to hear."

Rossi and Erin realized that they were surrounded by profilers. David cleared his throat and asked, "Did you bring the documents. Erin pulled out a few pieces of paper and handed them to Derek.

Erin explained that after talking with Rossi, and the Director turns out no one cared if Garcia and Morgan got married."

Erin waited for Derek and Penelope to sign the documents, she placed them back in her purse and tried to towel off as much as possible.

Derek asked Strauss if she would like to stay at least until she dried off. After several what you thinking stares, the hell are Erin agreed.

Hotch poked Emily in her side with his elbow and said, "Well this ought to be fun."

This has got to be the longest BBQ in history.

As always read and review!
