Six weeks later
Penelope dragged her tired body from her home office to her bed. She was running on almost no sleep due to Alessandra and the team needing her. She really tried to take the advice of the nurses in the hospital to sleep when the baby slept, but there was too much to do. There was always dirty laundry, dinner to cook, and countless other things that kept her mind from resting.
To top it all, off the team had been called out on a case. Derek was given exactly two weeks to spend with Penelope and his new baby. Hotch felt terrible for calling him in but the case involved bombs and they greatly needed Derek's experience. He reluctantly went, but not before voicing his concerns to his fiance.
Derek was snuggled up with Penelope snoring away when his phone rang. He glared at the offending object as he watched it dance across their wood nightstand.
He wiped his tired eyes and gruffly answered the phone, "What?"
He could hear the regret in JJ's voice when she asked him to come in. Derek sighed but agreed to help. He gently shook Penelope awake.
"Baby girl," he whispered.
"Huh? What's wrong?" Penelope felt around her nightstand for her glasses. She found them and placed them on her face. She turned the lamp on, bathing the room in soft light.
"JJ called. The team needs me to come in,"
Penelope sat up. She could tell Derek didn't want to go. She also knew JJ wouldn't have called him if they didn't need him. So with a sigh she kissed him and told him to get ready.
Derek hesitated and she reassured him that she and Alessandra would be fine and if she did feel like she needed help she could call Fran and she'd be over there in a heartbeat.

Penelope had done all she could do to help out the team while still on maternity leave. Kevin was covering for her until she returned to work. He wasn't use to working with the BAU all alone. In fact he had only been a more efficient form of Google when he helped out.
She'd just put Alessandra down for a nap when the doorbell rang.
The delivery man had her sign for a large box and carried into the foyer for her. She pushed the heavy box into the living room and found a letter opener and cut the box open.
She was expecting a handmade knitted blanket. It was something Tamara had kept doing even after she got out of rehab. After moving around a few packing peanuts she found an adorable set of tea towels and like always she found a letter in a separate envelope addressed to her.
Penelope smiled as she began to read.
Dear Penelope,
Thank you for your last care package. As you can see I put the Merino wool you sent to good use. Aside from the blanket, you should also find a little hat and a pair of booties I made for little Alessandra. I really do love the name. It's a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl.
In other news I have officially become an Italian citizen and have met the most wonderful man. He's easily become my best friend and now my fiance. I can see why you and Derek work so well. He knows all my little quirks and nuances and instead of being annoyed he finds them endearing. I know I say this every letter, but thank you for being a friend when no one else was.
Your Friend,
Tamara
Penelope placed the letter next to her and pulled the purple booties and hat from the box. She felt the soft material and noted that Tamara was becoming an expert knitter.
A soft grizzle could be heard from the baby monitor clipped to her skirt. She started cleaning up the box and packing peanuts, but abruptly stopped when the adorable gurgling turned into a wail.
"Okay I'm coming, Ali Bear," Penelope walked into the nursery to see what all the fuss was about.
"Woah! No wonder you're upset. You need a diaper change," she said while fanning a hand in front of her face.
After a hurried diaper change Penelope tucked the baby into arms, sat down in a rocking chair and began nursing her. She began humming a lullaby enjoying the quiet time with her baby.
When Ali was done she let out a soft sigh. Penelope burped her, kissed her on the forehead and laid her back in the crib so she could get started on dinner.
Penelope was sitting alone at her dinner table, trying not to stare at Derek's empty seat. No matter how many times they'd shared a meal, there was always teasing banter, seductive smiles and sexual innuendos. Now it was just her and the baby monitor that rested on the table.
She lost her appetite and dumped the rest of the food on her plate in the garbage disposal and cleaned the kitchen. She knew the team had caught the Unsub, but she had no idea when Derek was coming home. After glancing at the clock, she read the green digital numbers. It was five past 11 at night.
She took her tired body upstairs to get ready for bed. After checking on Ali making sure she was all snuggled in her blanket she quickly stripped and threw on one of her unsexiest night gowns, brushed her teeth and went to bed.
Penelope woke up with the sun shining into her room. She looked at the clock and got up in a panic. There was no way Alessandra slept from ten o'clock until…. Her head snapped toward the clock and gasped when it said forty-seven minutes after eight. Her baby woke up like clockwork every four hours for a diaper change, a feeding, and would stay awake for a few minutes for cuddle time.
She leapt out of bed and dashed to her daughter's room, silently praying her baby was okay. Penelope stopped in her tracks and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Derek lean over the changing table cooing at his daughter.
"Who is the prettiest princess in all the land?" Derek asked with a sing song tone.
"She's also the stinkiest," Penelope said matching Derek's tone.
"All done!" he said as he walked towards Penelope, holding the gurgling baby.
Penelope took the baby into her arms and gave Derek a quick kiss.
"When did you get home?" Penelope asked
"I got in about two. I heard Ali start to wake up, so I stayed up with her," he said. "I guess I was more exhausted that I thought because we fell asleep in the rocking chair."
"Poor baby. Why don't you go take a shower, and I'll get started on breakfast," Penelope said giving Derek a sympathetic look. Lord knew if she was tired, he had to be running on fumes.
Derek gave her a quick kiss and headed towards the shower while she and the baby went downstairs.
Penelope flipped another pancake making sure to turn her head often and coo at her daughter who was swinging her baby swing. She was in high spirits. Her husband had finally come home. Her little family was complete again. All was right in her world.
All except one thing. She needed to get laid.
After taking the baby to her first checkup last week, Fran watched Ali so Penelope could go to her own. Her OBGYN gave her the green light to resume intimate activities and the damn unsub Derek had been chasing was preventing her from doing just that.
She was knocked out of her thoughts as she felt her husband wrap his arms around her waist. His alluring scent wafted into her nose. She could feel herself become very aroused. She cleared her throat and thought she had herself under control. She shuddered when Derek spoke into her ear.
"I missed you, Baby Girl." Penelope's breath hitched in her chest when Derek gave her a kiss on the neck.
They broke apart when Ali let out a gurgle as she tried to focus on her toes.
"And I missed my Ali baby too," Derek said turning away from Penelope.
Breakfast was much more enjoyable than Penelope's dinner from the previous night. There was laughter between her and Derek, and an occasional happy coo or smile from Alessandra.
"So what are our plans for today, mama?" Derek asked after swallowing a bite of bacon.
"Well I didn't really have any. I might actually take the docs advice and take it easy today," Penelope replied after taking a bite of her toast with apple butter.
"Mmm, good answer. Maybe the team could come over and chill tomorrow. They missed Ali too."
"Of course, my Adonis. Now why don't I clean up, and you can take Clooney outside. You haven't had that much time to take him on any long walks," she said.
Derek grabbed Clooney's leash and called for him. Once they were out the door, Penelope hurriedly cleaned the kitchen. She ran upstairs secured Ali in a bouncer she could see from the shower and hopped in. If she was lucky, once the baby went down for a nap, Penelope could get lucky.
Once dried and dressed, she sat on the floor of the nursery and had tummy time with Ali. She was so proud of her daughter holding her head up and turning it from side to side. Ali laid on her stomach for a few minutes. She let Penelope know she was over it when she let out a sharp cry.
"Okay, mommy knows when her baby doll has had enough." Penelope rolled the baby onto her back and watched as Ali gleefully kicked her legs and gurgled
Derek stood in the doorway of the nursery and said, "That's new." He motioned to their kicking daughter.
"Yep she's a lot more active now. Here watch this." Penelope gently rolled her daughter over and watch the baby support herself up on her hands.
Derek walked over to Penelope and quickly kissed her head then took a seat next to his daughter.
"Good job Ali." Derek cooed to his daughter but as soon as he praised her she let out a agitated grunt.
"Okay, okay we've shown daddy your new skill." Penelope said and laid the baby back down on her back.
Penelope and Derek played with the baby on the floor for a few moments. Ali let out a big yawn.
"It looks like our little one is ready for a nap." Derek said while scooping his daughter off the floor.
Penelope peered over his shoulder and said, "It looks like you got her from here. I'm going to go load the dishwasher.
"I'll be down in a minute." Derek whispered while rocking his daughter to sleep.
Penelope had just placed the last dish in the dishwasher and turned the machine on when saw Derek leaning against the doorframe in the kitchen. She dried her hands and walked over to her handsome husband and gave him a kiss on the cheek.
Gazing into his eyes Penelope asked, "What do you want to do now?"
Wordlessly Derek drew Penelope into his arms. He hugged her tightly as he buried his face into her hair. He breathed deeply, reveling in the feel of her soft body pressed against his.
Penelope's breath hitched as Derek drew back a little to look at her while sliding his hands down to her waist. She tilted her hips slightly to bring herself into closer contact with him.
Derek leaned down to close the slight distance between their lips. He brushed his lips across hers once, twice, and on the third he felt Penelope the back of his head in her hands to keep his head still.
Penelope sighed and he took the opportunity to dip his tongue past her lips and caress the inside of her mouth.
"Derek bedroom. Now!" Penelope demanded
Derek moved his hands up her body and cupped her breasts. He gave her another kiss and tweaked her nipples.
"Please," Penelope whimpered against his lips.
Derek took a step back and held out his arm. "After you,"
They walked up the stairs and Penelope could feel Derek's eyes on her backside. She gave a little giggle as Derek gave her bottom a healthy swat. She led the way into the bedroom with Derek close behind.
She turned to face him and her knees wobbled. The look he was giving her was hot and full of lust. His normally dark chocolate eyes were black with intensity.
Silently Derek held his hand out and Penelope took it. He pulled her close to his body and gave her a sweet peck on the lips.
Normally sweet pecks and hand holding would have suited Penelope just fine, but she needed him and she needed him immediately. While he was taking his sweet damn time seducing his wife, she on the other hand was aching to be joined with her husband. It took her only a moment for her to take matters into her own hands.
Quickly Penelope spun them around and maneuvered them towards their bed all the while pulling Derek's t shirt over his head. Once his shirt was off she pulled Derek's face toward hers and gave him a hard kiss that left him groaning into her mouth.
With a swipe of her tongue, Penelope demanded entrance into Derek's mouth and he instantaneously complied. They moaned in unison as their tongues slid against each other.
Without breaking their blazing kiss Penelope and Derek tore at each other's clothes. Derek tore the top buttons on his soft Henley shirt and once that was gone he yanked Penelope's zipper down on her dress and neither cared that he'd pulled so hard he tore the zipper of the dress. He pushed her dress down and shook from his arousal seeing her only in her bra and panties.
Derek's eyes traveled up her body slowly starting from the baby blue tipped toe nails up her legs past her thighs. He had to bite back a moan as he saw how wet Penelope already was for him. He the trailed his eyes up past her softly rounded belly up to her lace clad breasts.
"Stare later, Hot Stuff," Penelope said hoarsely. She'd had enough stalling. She grabbed Derek by his belt and yanked him forward. She quickly undid his belt buckle as he reached behind her and one handedly unhooked her bra.
They moved apart long enough for Derek to drop his pants to the floor and jerk his boxer briefs off in quick succession. He stepped out of his clothes and stood up in just enough time to see Penelope kick her panties from around her ankles.
Penelope gasped as Derek swiftly picked her up and deposited her on the bed. She quickly reached for his neck and brought him down on top of her to cover her body. She spread her legs wide in a silent plea for him to take her body and bring them both to completion.
Derek had other ideas.
He began kissing and gently nipping at Penelope's throat. All thoughts of a quick encounter flew out of her mind when he sucked a particular sensitive part of her neck into his mouth. Her body broke out into tingles as he slid lower, cupping her breasts in his hands, kissing the raspberry colored peaks before sliding further down her body.
Penelope felt like she was going insane. Her core throbbed with want, swelling and trembling. She was so wet that without a doubt she was soaking the sheet beneath her.
"Derek," she cried as he nudged her legs further apart using his muscular arms. He slid his hands under her bottom and lifted her hips to bring her core to his mouth. With rough and quick flicks of his tongue he rapidly brought Penelope over the edge. He watched as she shook from the power of her orgasm. Her eyes were closed and her head was tilted back against the pillow.
Penelope shuddered as Derek gave her clit soft teasing licks.
"Derek I need you now," Penelope said through heavy pants. He quickly moved once again covering her body with his. He grabbed his erection and coated the head of it with her cum.
Penelope gasped as she felt Derek slowly pushing his way inside of her slowly.
"So damn good, baby. I missed this so much," Derek breathed as he found himself buried completely inside of her. He withdrew and started slow strokes that were driving Penelope crazy. She wrapped her legs around his back, pushing her feet against his ass in an attempt to get him to speed up.
Derek pushed himself up to look down on her and change the angle of his strokes. Penelope's eyes were desperately pleading for him to hurry up.
After long moments Derek finally gave in and sped his strokes up. Penelope pulled him down into a passionate kiss and he continuously pumped in and out of her body.
Penelope could feel her orgasm building. From the tips of her toes to the very top of her head tingled in anticipation. She was moaning loudly now into Derek's mouth. As her core tightened, she could feel his cock begin to swell inside of her signaling his own release was imminent.
She tore her mouth away from Derek's for much needed air. She went to kiss him again only to stop when she felt him swipe his thumb against her clit sending her reeling head first into one of the most powerful orgasms she'd ever had. She clawed at his back and cried his name. Tears of pleasure pooled in her eyes as she felt him begin to chase his own orgasm.
Derek gave one final stroke and buried himself deep within her and with a groan began coming inside of her, causing a smaller orgasm to roll through her body. She unwrapped her legs from around his powerful waist but hugged him tightly with her arms welcoming his weight on her body
"Baby, you alive?," Derek asked as he gathered her in his arms and rested her head against his chest.
"I'm wonderful," Penelope said kissing Derek over his heart.
Derek looked over her shoulder and glanced at the time. He let out a yawn and said, "We have about an hour and a half before Ali is up. What do you say, nap time?"
"Sounds heavenly," Penelope said with a yawn.
