Penelope and Derek were tired. They were so tired Derek more or less just dragged their luggage into the home and pushed it against the closest wall.

Penelope would have laughed if laughter didn't require movement of any kind.

Derek set the alarm and said, "I don't think I can stand up any longer. Can we please go to bed?"

Penelope said, "With pleasure."

While they were getting ready for bed Derek asked, "How mad would you be if we made no plans for this week?"

Then he literally unplugged his house phone.

Penelope chuckled and said, "D you better leave your cell phone on or your mother will come over here."

Derek said, "Shit I forgot now she only lives 20 minutes away."

Penelope grabbed her go bag and went in the bathroom to change.

Derek said, "Baby you can change out here, it's not like I haven't seen you naked."

Penelope stuck her head out of the bathroom and said, "And we know what happens when you do, so no." She shut the bathroom door again.

Derek shucked his clothes only left in boxers, flopped stomach down on the bed. He sighed in happiness.

Derek hadn't even realized he was talking to his bed. "I have really missed you."

Penelope came out of the bathroom shaking her head.

Penelope chuckled and said, "Handsome you have lost it."

Without looking up, Derek said, "Baby girl I told you I was tired."

Penelope rubbed moisturizer on her face and climbed in next to Derek.

Derek lifted his head and said, "Damn number 19 you look good in my jersey. I bet you took them all huh?"

Penelope grinned and said, "Sure did. Now about this sleep."

Derek whined and said, "Now I don't wanna go to bed."

Penelope glared at Derek and said, "Morgan we are both about to pass out, and you were talking to our bed. Wish me a goodnight, and if you do what I say you will get a good morning, or whenever we wake up."

Derek huffed and said, "Fine."

Derek was too tired to fight. It had taken him all of three minutes to fall asleep, which was unheard of in his world.

Derek woke up alone, and it was dark. He felt a little like he was drunk. He figured he must have had too much sleep.

He sat up and ran his hand over his face trying to shake the zombie like state he was in. He stood up opened one of his blinds and was almost blinded by the sun. He looked over at the clock and realized it was 3 in the afternoon.

Derek padded into the kitchen to see Penelope smile up at him and say, "Well there is sleeping beauty."

Derek chuckled and said, "Silly girl."

Next thing Derek knew he was being tackled by a giant ball of fur. Clooney jumped all over Derek.

Derek smiled and asked, "Baby how did Clooney get here?"

Penelope smiled and replied, "I couldn't leave my other big baby a minute longer so I went and picked him up."

Derek hugged Penelope and said, "Thank you princess."

Derek headed outside with Clooney. They ran around. Derek and Clooney looked like a kid with his puppy, instead of a grown ass man and his five year old dog.

True to his word for an entire week Derek and Penelope didn't do anything but sit around. It was started to drive Penelope crazy. They had watched countless DVDs, played ball with Clooney, and watched the grass grow.

Penelope had enough. She snatched the remote from Derek and said, "We have got to get out of this house. I don't care what we do, just please."

Derek said, "Baby if you wanted to leave sooner, why didn't you say something?"

Penelope sighed and said, "You seemed so peaceful. At first I just wanted to relax but….this is nuts."

Derek thought for a moment and said, "I want you to get dolled up tonight."

Penelope said, "Where are we going?"

Derek said, "To none ya…"

Penelope asked, "Where?"

Derek chuckled and said, "None ya business. Just be ready by…umm….8."

Penelope shook her head, handed Derek the remote back and snuggled in next to him. They had a couple of hours.

Penelope was applying the last swipe of lip gloss trying to figure out where in the hell they were going.

Derek wouldn't tell them where they were going no matter how much Penelope begged. It was common knowledge that Penelope Garcia hated surprises just as much as she hated change.

Derek was in one of his guest rooms getting dressed.

Derek's phone rang.

Automatically Derek answered, "Morgan."

He heard a familiar voice chuckle on the phone, "That is no way to greet your pops."

Derek rolled his eyes and said, "Rossi could you help me or not?"

Rossi replied, "Of course I could, and did. You are expected at Dolce by 9:30."

Derek let out a sigh of relief and said, "Thanks man. I appreciate it."

Rossi said, "No problem kid, you would think I could get a reservation at my own damn restaurant."

Derek laughed and said, "Man that is screwed up."

Rossi in a sing song manner said, "I aint complainin about being busy."

"I hear ya man. Thanks again for doing this. I'll drop Clooney off too."

Rossi snorted and said, "Yeah well Fran told me I didn't have a choice in the matter."

Derek coughed out the word, "Whipped."

Rossi snorted and said, "Takes one to know one."

Derek said, "Rossi I am not whipped."

"Rossi replied, "Oh really. Who was the one that said they were unplugging their phones and staying in?"

Derek huffed and said, "Whatever man. Are we still on for tomorrow?"

Rossi said, "We better be. I will not be stuck in a house full of women planning a wedding."

Derek shuddered at the thought. Fran, JJ, Emily, and Penelope were beginning to plan for the up and coming Morgan nuptials. Derek had a feeling his mother was going to go totally overboard.

Derek said, "Yeah Hotch is bringing Jack, and Will is bringing Henry. I figured we could do an early lunch and teach the boys to fish, maybe toss a few beers back."

Rossi laughed and said, "Derek do you hear yourself. You are willingly ready to hang out with kids."

Derek said, "Your point being?"

Rossi said, "When I met you, you referred your "dates" as honeys. Let's see there was Stacey the Halloween honey, then there was Sheila…. she was your Thanksgiving honey, not to mention Mandy the Christmas-…."

Derek said, "Hey, hey man I get it. I have changed. And I'm glad I did. Now can we end this after school special moment?"

Rossi barked out a laugh and said, "Yeah. See you tomorrow."

Morgan and Rossi ended their call. Derek placed his father's cufflinks on and headed out to find where his baby girl was hiding.

Derek heard Penelope whistling some David Bowe song he didn't recognize.

Derek strode into the kitchen and stopped in his tracks.

Penelope was sipping a cup of tea one toe tapping in between humming.

Derek's eyebrows shot up and asked, "Are you trying to kill me?"

Penelope tilted her head and asked, "Derek what are you talking about?"

Derek exasperatedly said, "This." Then began gestured wildly at Penelope's dress.

Penelope chuckled and said, "Oh this. Well you said get dressed up, and I have never worn it before."

Penelope's dress was 40's style mock mini dress. It was Navy blue with white polka dots pin up style. It has short sleeves. The top was cut dangerously low.

"Hot stuff say something."

"I…I…Wow…"

Penelope smirked hard. This fool standing in front of her couldn't form words.

Derek came back to his senses and said, "Alright hot stuff lets go."

Penelope giggled as Derek helped her into her bolero jacket.

Derek pulled up to valet parking. He left his truck running as the attendant made his way towards the large vehicle.

Derek jogged around to the other side and helped Penelope out. They made their way into the restaurant.

Penelope looked at Derek and asked, "How in the world did you get a reservation? JJ and Will have been trying for months."

Derek shrugged and said, "I know the owner."

Penelope left it at that. A Hostess who openly eyed Derek up and down said, "Please come with me."

Penelope shot Derek a look that said I am hormonal and pregnant. He just chuckled and guided Penelope through the busy restaurant.

This did not go unnoticed by the hostess. She through a tight lipped smile said, "The owner has requested the back room for you."

Derek simply nodded. Once through the back of the restaurant and through two glass double doors the couple was seated.

There were very few couples in the back. The furniture was dark and rich. There was a glowing fire place, and even a piano player tucked in a corner softly playing.

Unlike the tables in the front of the restaurant, these were almost devoid of a center piece except for small candles.

The hostess looked at Derek and said, "A waiter or waitress should be with you shortly."

The hostess once again looked from Derek to Penelope and back before saying, "Is there anything else I can get you."

Derek smiled and said, "I'm good." Then he looked at Penelope and said, "Sweetheart do you need anything?"

Penelope smiled brightly at the hostess and said, "No thank you."

The hostess nodded and left, shaking her head.

Derek reached for Penelope's hand and said, "Baby girl I am glad we left the house."

Penelope said, "Well thank you for humoring me, but I wasn't expecting this. So who is the owner?"

He smiled back at her and said, "Nu-uh princess, my secret."

Penelope huffed and said, "Fine."

After small talk a waiter brought over a wine menu. He smiled brightly at Penelope and Derek.

The waiter went over the wine list. Derek chose a white, and Penelope settled for a large bottle of imported water.

The waiter nodded and focused most of his attention on Penelope. Well mostly Penelope's cleavage.

Derek had to fight the urge to cover her with his jacket.

Penelope looked at Derek and said, "See it's not fun when somewhere stares at your significant other."

Derek snorted and said, "I don't know what you are talking about."

"Derek I might not be a profiler, but I saw you reach for your jacket. Are you cold?"

Derek replied, "No P I'm not cold." Derek sighed and said, "Fine you busted me."

Penelope leaned forward and patted Derek's hand.

"Do that again P and we are leaving."

Derek shifted in his seat, all he could think was thank god for boxer briefs.

After a wonderful dinner and a little dancing, Derek noticed Penelope starting to get tired.

Derek stood up from the table, held his hand out and helped Penelope to stand up. He wrapped his arm around her as they made their way out of the restaurant .

Once in the SUV Penelope leaned over and rested her head on Derek's shoulder. She was beat, between the dancing and the baby she was truly worn out.

At a red light Derek placed a soft kiss to Penelope's hair and watched her sleep. He couldn't help but think how lucky he truly was.

Once they got home Derek carried her to bed. It took some time to wake her up but she finally got out of her dress and heels.

Derek did a final walk around the house to make sure the house was secure. Once that was done he shucked his clothes and crawled in behind Penelope.

Penelope moved closer to Derek and faintly said, "Tell Rossi I said thank you."

Derek's chest rumbled with laughter when he asked, "How did you know?"

Penelope sighed in bliss as Derek made soothing circles on her lower back and said, "Oracle remember."

Derek snuggled in closer and they both fell into a peaceful slumber.

Well I might finally be over my writer's block.

Tell me what you think.

I don't think I will ever end this story.. lol. So I need to start updating my other ones. I bet they feel neglected.

As always read and review, I also take questions and concerns. :)
