It was 2 a.m. and the entire team was beat. Morgan, and Prentiss had visited six different crime scenes/ Hotch and JJ had interviewed 8 families. Reid and Rossi were stuck at the morgue for most of the day, and Garcia had been typing furiously trying to find a connection these women had shared.

Once back at the sleepy police station Hotch looked at Derek and said, "Get Penelope, there is nothing further we can do here."

Derek sighed. This was getting to be too much. The Unsub had killed two more women since the BAU had arrived in Delta Junction. To say the local police were not impressed was an understatement.

Spencer tried to explain that they needed to build a foundation before they could build a profile, and one of the offices had the nerve to snort and call it mumbo jumbo.

To say the members of the BAU were at their breaking point was putting it mildly. Hotch missed his free time with Jack, and Emily. Since Emily and Hotch became an item, it allowed for Haley's sister Jessica the chance to start dating again. Jessica was thrilled that Hotch had someone that understood him, and didn't pressure him.

JJ sighed. She missed Will and Henry. Most of the time Will would be understanding, but everyone once in a while his southern traditions would come out. He even once suggested that he made enough for his family and she should quit. Will stayed on the couch for almost a week for that. JJ missed Henry's first soccer tournament, and poker night with her husband.

Spencer was getting more and more agitated. He was tired of having to Skype with Des. He couldn't hug her, he couldn't show her truly how much he missed her. Dr. Reid counted his lucky stars that a girl like Des wanted him. Once Desiree Morgan said that she was lucky to have met an amazing guy like Spencer, and it upset her when he couldn't see it for himself.

Rossi since being back in the police station had checked his phone. He knew Fran worried, and his waistline had already started to expand. Hell yes his woman could cook, but at this rate he would be the size of the Sears Tower if she didn't stop cooking, but he knew he was lucky. Unlike his other wives, Fran already had experience with having trust that a love one would return. David figured it must have been hell on her when Derek started at Quantico. When she spoke to David on the phone, she never asked crossly when are you coming home. She said it with love and care.

Prentiss rolled her shoulders. She had been stuck in a government SUV all day with Derek. Even when they were in no particular hurry that man drove like a bat out of hell. Emily missed Hotch. It was odd for her to miss someone so close. Per Strauss' orders the couples were not allowed to share rooms. The obliged her because she hadn't tried to break up the BAU. Emily rubbed her tired eyes, she was waiting for everyone to wrap up what they were doing so the could go to the hotel and get some sleep. Emily earlier joked with Derek that she would do anything for some of Fran Morgan's homemade potato salad. Emily rolled her shoulders again, put her jacket on and headed to the lobby.

Garcia was tired, so very tired and she was afraid if this case didn't wrap up soon she would have to be in Alaska to get her first check up since going to the hospital. Penelope twirled a fuzzy tipped Pen with hearts all over it, in her hand trying to figure out why the Unsub chose these women. Some of the victims were prostitutes, others were fracking Suzie Homemaker. She shrugged and figured maybe he just hated women. Penelope chuckled and said to herself, "It's funny how we always assume that the Unsub is a man." She tapped the pen to her forehead and said, "Think Garcie." She was just about to throw said, fuzzy pen when Derek came in her little office they had commandeered for her.

Derek chuckled and said, "Hey princess. What did the pen do to you?"

Penelope smiled back and said, "Nothing, I guess I was just thinking to hard. Assume since you guys are back we are blowing this popsicle stand?"

Derek tapped her nose and said, "We are bustin out of the joint."

Derek helped Penelope stand up. He grabbed her bags, and they made their way into the lobby to meet with the rest of the team.

Everyone had bloodshot eyes. They had been going nonstop ever since they got off the plane.

JJ smiled halfheartedly at Emily and Penelope and asked, "Who is ready for a slumber party?"

Emily gave an equally weak smile and said, "Sure why not."

Penelope mumbled, "I should be able to sleep with my frikkin fiancé."

Derek rubbed Penelope's shoulders and said, "Mama I know but, Strauss said she would reconsider once we are married. Come on now baby don't pout."

Penelope sighed and said, "You're right."

Rossi gave a chuckle and said, "Let the record show that on Friday 2:54 a.m. Derek Morgan got Penelope Garcia to admit that he was right about something."

Everyone laughed, leaving local police officers staring at the odd bunch of profilers.

Hotch said, "Come on let's get out of here before the cops lock us up for being Looney Toons."

Emily snatched the keys from Derek and said, "Hell no. I am driving."

Hotch looked at Emily and said, "Shotgun."

Derek grumbled but piled in the backseat with Penelope. Rossi Spencer and JJ rode to the hotel in the other SUV with JJ driving.

The team grabbed their bags and checked in. Emily and JJ went into their room, and Hotch, Rossi and Spencer went into theirs.

Derek hugged and kissed Penelope in front of her hotel room door.

Rossi stuck his head out of the guy's door and said, "Morgan you get my daughter home at a decent time."

Derek chuckled and Penelope blushed.

Penelope's eyes sparkled when she looked up at Derek and said, "Well my pa has spoken. I love you….we love you, and goodnight."

Derek was reluctant to let her go, but she needed sleep so their lil bit could grow big and strong.

Derek kissed Penelope one more time and said, "Nite princess. Do you have any idea how hard its going to be to not have you sleeping next to me, especially since I know you are down the hall?"

Penelope placed and hand on Derek's chest and said, "I know what you mean angelfish. Nite baby boy."

Derek had to force himself to let her go, he turned on his heels and went into his room, and Penelope went into hers.

JJ was decked out in heart pajamas that Henry got her for Valentine's day. She threw her hair up in a pony tail, jumped on the bed and said, "So how was your date."

Penelope laughed and said, "Woman you are crazy." Then Penelope giggled. She forgot how she, Prentiss and JJ got when they were sleepy. It was like they were drunk off of wine.

Emily asked while brushing out her hair, "So now that all of the BAU men are taken, and one foxy Cajun are taken, what will the ladies from Quantico to D.C going to do?"

Penelope playfully slapped Emily's arm and said, "Do what our lonely asses used to do."

JJ nodded her head knowingly and said, "Think Prentiss. It would be small and come with batteries."

Emily wrinkled her nose and said, "That is not what I meant. But on a side note you are right."

All three women laughed.

JJ was walking towards the door next to the mini fridge to get a bottle of water when she said, "Shhh. I think I hear someone on their phone."

Penelope grabbed a glass from the bathroom and put it up next to the door. Penelope turned her head to see JJ and Emily staring at her.

Penelope rolled her eyes and said, "Yeah that's right I did it. Now shush."

Emily ran to the bathroom to get the other glass.

The three ladies heard the sound of Rossi's deep voice.

"Erin yeah you heard me, I'm asking Morgan's mom to marry me. I know, I know..who knew wife number four would knock me on my Italian ass….Trust me Erin that woman is 100 percent Irish."

Rossi was quiet for a few moments before saying, "Yeah Erin we had a good ride while it lasted. I'm glad you and Deputy Director Stephens are giving the old college try. Hey Strauss don't fuck this up."

Penelope looked up at JJ and said, "Awww. Our G man is in love. "

Rossi then said, "Hey I am getting a call. I gotta go."

Rossi said excitedly, "Hey sexy Lady."

Followed by Derek yelling, "Rossi get away from the door I can hear you."

Rossi chuckled and knocked on the girls would have been fine if Penelope and Prentiss weren't shoved against door.

Penelope dropped the glass and was thankful it didn't break.

Rossi put his hand over the phone and asked, "Can I use your balcony?"

JJ nodded in response while Garcia and Prentiss were trying to soothe their ears.

The three ladies looked out to see Rossi talking to Fran. They had huge goofy grins on their faces.

They were taken out of their thoughts when they heard a knock on the door.

Reid had his hands shoved in his pockets when he asked, "Can I call Des in hear. Morgan told me to get out if I was gonna make kissy face. I don't know what that is, but I figured if Rossi left I should too."

Penelope said, "Sure my junior G man."

JJ said, "Let's give Spence some privacy, I am gonna go wash my face, and call Will."

Emily shrugged and said, "I guess me and Garcia could go on a double date."

Penelope smiled and said, "See that is why you are in my top 8."

Derek was changing in the room, while Hotch was shaving in the bathroom.

Derek swung the door open and said, "There's my girl."

Penelope giggled and said, "You knew I couldn't stay away."

Emily made a fake gagging noise and asked, "Where's…..?"

Penelope chuckled and said, "Your boo."

Derek laughed, and replied, "He is shaving."

Emily knocked on the door and said, "Hey Hotch let me in."

Hotch with shaving cream all over his face let her in. Emily closed the door behind her.

Derek shouted, "Don't do anything I would do."

Emily yelled back, "Or better yet don't do anything Will wouldn't do."

Penelope said, "I shall blog about that later."

Derek sat on the bed and pulled Penelope down next to him. "Baby girl how are you and peanut doing?"

Penelope said, "We are just fine. I was feeling a little sick earlier, but after a quick nap and a Yoohoo all was right in my hacker world."

Derek pressed a kiss to her forehead and softly said, "Glad my lady is okay."

Derek laid down on the bed pulling Penelope with him.

Penelope smirked at Derek who in returned said, "Hey behave."

Penelope ghosted her hand over Derek's chest and asked, "When do I ever?"

Derek laughed and Penelope sighed and snuggled next to him with a silent promise to be good when she moved her hands.

Hotch yelled, "You two better not be naked."

Penelope scoffed and said, "Where are not naked. Geez what kind of people do you take us for?"

Hotch came out followed by Emily.

Derek looked at Penelope, Penelope looked at Derek and they both busted out laughing.

Derek through chuckled said, "Emily you got a little something on your nose."

Emily looked in the bathroom mirror and groaned. She then whacked Hotch and said, "You could have told me I have shaving cream on my face."

Hotch shrugged and asked, "Where is the fun in that?"

Hotch sat on his bed and snuggled up with Emily.

Penelope looked at them and said, "This is freakin weird."

Hotch asked, "What is Garcia?"

Penelope gestured between Emily and Hotch and said, "Well you guys, and Derek and I. I mean I am pretty sure this is why Strauss wants us in different rooms."

Hotch smiled a rare smile and said, "Aw come on Garcia, it's not like we are about to shoot porn."

Penelope was slack jawed, Derek shot up and laughed so hard his stomach started to hurt, and Prentiss said, "Well if we need new jobs…."

Penelope said, "That's it. Emily move your booty, we are going to bed."

Derek shook his head and said, "Nope that's the next scene. Now Garcia get your ass back in this bed. Hotch quit making the woman blush."

Hotch laughed and said, "Fine. Now everybody go to sleep."

Emily in the darkness asked, "What about JJ and Rossi and Reid."

Hotch looked up at the ceiling and said, "Crap I forgot all about them."

Derek turned the light on and said, "Damn. Alright baby back to your room."

Both girls sighed and went back to their room.

Rossi was talking to JJ about how to propose and Reid was explaining the origins of marriage.

Rossi laughed and said, "Good you two came back. Now we can go. Thanks JJ for the help."

JJ smiled back and said, "Anytime."

Once all three girls were tucked into bed they said their goodnights. Penelope said, "JJ don't worry we didn't forget Girl Code."

JJ said, "Yeah you did, but its okay. You guys are in loooo-oove."

Emily threw a pillow at JJ and said, "Go to sleep blondie."

Well here is another chapter. Hope you liked.

Read and review.

Also thanks for the reviews. I can't believe I have 200. Shout out to Sazzieazzie for being the 200th.

So I have been writing this other story, and I was wondering if you guys would tell me if you like the idea.. I know that some of you are like, "Woman finish the other one's." But the truth is starting a new story causes my muse to want to finish the others.

Ohh I guess I should tell you what it's about. Basically its a summer story of the BAU as 18 year olds, well Rossi and Strauss are 21 and not together and Gideon is about 22. It is about them working at a mall and other crap teenagers do during the summer. The pairings are M/G Rossi/JJ Emily/Hotch Reid/Seaver will be appearances by Elle, Jordan Todd, and Haley, Kevin, and Anderson..and whoever else I could think of.
