Epilogue:

"Everything's absolutely normal," said the doctor. Derek beamed down at his perfect son. Penelope laughed at his obvious pride. The two month check-up of mom and baby had gone swimmingly. Penelope started to get Derek Junior ready to leave as the doctor waved and walked out of the examining room.

"I'll be right back, honey," Derek said, rushing after the doctor. He loped down the hall, calling "Excuse me, doc?" The doctor stopped and turned around with a smile.

"What can I do for you, Mr. Morgan?" he said.

Derek waited until he was right next to the doctor. "Um, I just had a quick question." The doctor waited patiently.

"So, everything's okay with Penelope, right?" Derek asked.

"Of course," the doctor said.

Derek lowered his voice, "Um, even 'down there'?"

The doctor gave him a confused look.

Derek felt his face get warm. "Can we . . . you know?" He made a vague gesture with hands.

The doctor's eyes lit up in understanding. "Oh!" he said, struggling to keep a straight face "Mrs. Morgan has healed nicely and is perfectly capable of engaging in physical activities."

Derek gave the doctor a relieved grin, "Great, thanks."

The doctor smiled, "You know, you might have been the first husband in my career not to ask me how long you could keep having sex after you found out that your wife was pregnant. I was worried about you for a second!" he joked.

Derek laughed. "Oh, doc, you have no idea how much trouble I almost got in!" He saw Penelope emerge from the examining room with the baby. "Hey, I gotta go. Thanks for everything!"

He walked towards Penelope, smiling. She was still the most beautiful woman in the world to him. After his missteps of a few months earlier, they had enjoyed a very active sex life. Penelope had been insatiable for a while. Derek could now tell you at least five places in the FBI building that were big enough for two people to have sex but couldn't be seen by the security cameras. He was grateful for the big backseat of the Suburban, and the guy who invented Scotchguard deserved a medal.

He had been embarrassed to talk to the doctor today, but he had learned his lesson. He was pretty sure that he'd seen that look in Penelope's eyes this morning when he got out of the shower, but before he could decide if he should do anything about it, DJ had started crying and the moment passed.

Derek put his arm around his wife and took the baby carrier from her. "Come on, sweetheart, let's go home." They'd taken the rest of the day off, and barring any new cases, would have a long weekend ahead of them. They walked out to the parking lot and Derek secured the car seat before helping Penelope inside. As per usual, he gave her a kiss, but this one was a little more intense than normal.

He hopped in the SUV and headed towards their house. When they arrived, Penelope got out and removed the carrier from the back seat. She smiled as she realized that DJ had fallen asleep. It was his normal naptime, so she was hoping to get some things done with Derek around to help.

Derek held the front door open and walked in behind his wife, watching her as she walked up the stairs. He grinned in anticipation of their afternoon. He followed her into DJ's room and watched as she put him down for his nap.

"I'm so glad he fell asleep so easily," she whispered. "I've got some stuff I want to do since you're here."

Derek wrapped his arms around his wife and nuzzled her neck. "There's only one thing I want to do," he murmured. Penelope sighed and snuggled close to him.

"I really need to . . ." she moaned as he pulled her against him to feel his arousal. "You know, it can probably wait."

"That's good," Derek growled, "because I can't." He scooped Penelope into his arms and walked down the hall to their bedroom. "I love just holding you, but I've missed being with you."

"Me, too," she whispered. "I was starting to worry that I'd have to have Hotch talk to you again."

Derek laughed as he put Penelope down and ran his hands down her sides. She put her hands over his and said shyly, "Baby, I know that you love my curves, but I should warn you that I'm a little curvier now."

Derek pulled her shirt off and looked down appreciatively, "Mmmmm, yes, you are."

Penelope laughed for a second, "Yeah, I know that you don't have a problem with those particular curves, but unfortunately, they all got bigger."

Derek ran his hands over her ass, "These are good, too."

"I'm serious, Derek. I . . . look different." She looked away, not sure how he would react to her new body.

Derek gently grabbed Penelope's jaw and pulled her around to look at him. He grinned down at her and said, "I see that I will have to examine each and every one of your curves to remind you how gorgeous you are." He gave a fake sigh. "Well, I suppose I should get started."

Penelope laughed, relieved that he still found her attractive. "It's a tough job, hot stuff."

"And I will enjoy it for the rest of my life." Derek kissed Penelope and lowered her down to the bed.
