A/N not mine, I own nothing but the plot.
To those that don't agree with this story, that it's just not possible; in real life it is very possible. This is Fanfiction, and I'm just twisting a story. You don't have to read it, no one is making you. As a matter of fact, I would prefer if you didn't. If I start to read something that I can't have on open mind about, I back out. I don't even leave a review.
To those who enjoyed the first chapter, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it and have asked for more.

"It's been to long, Baby Girl."
"Derek Morgan,I... I don't even know what to say. After the wedding and birth of Hank, you just disappeared on us. What happened with you? What did we do?"
"Pen, I'm going to be in Virginia beginning Friday for a week. Hank, is starting a new job, and I promised to be there for his first week. I would like to get together and talk this over with you and Reid."
"Why don't you and Hank come to dinner on Sunday? We haven't seen him since his birth."
"We'll be there. Hank's girlfriend may be with us."
"That's fine. I'll let Spence know."
After they hung up, he felt lost. He was unsure what to do. He was going to be there, but he knew it wouldn't be the same as before. Things had changed. He wasn't the same man that left the BAU.
How was he to explain exactly what had transpired to make him pull away from his friends? He had a hard time understanding it himself. He pushed them all away, eventually even Savannah left him.
His biggest worry was telling Penelope, his Baby Girl. She had the biggest heart, and his fear was that this would destroy her. He has been fighting this demon alone.
He was having a hard to reconciling Spencer and Penelope being together, yet it made sense in a way. They both probably had a need to find comfort in missing their mutual friend. They both had very little family, and when everyone began to drift away from them, they felt it more profoundly then most.
He sat down with a heavy sigh. It felt as though the weight of the world was on his shoulders. He knew he needed to call Hank and make sure that he and Mari could go to the Reid home for dinner on Sunday. He knew he needed to begin packing for his trip back to the town that has haunted him for years.
He'll never forget what happened when he left the BAU office for the last time. It was burned into his brain. The arguments that had resulted from that one slip have gone down into the history books. He wasn't sure what made him agree to the stipulations that were then placed on his marriage.
There was a reason that Hank had been his and Savannah's only child. He had tried for 14 years to save what they had, but in the end it wasn't enough. She still left them. If he had listened to his mom, he might've been happy with his life. He could have had the one thing he wanted most in the world. The one woman he'd loved with all of himself.
He grabbed his phone and dialed his sons number. It's late enough in the day that he should be home. He listened to it ring, trying to gather his thoughts as he waited for the familiar voice of his child.
"Hey, Pops! What has you calling me tonight?"
"Would you and Mari be available for diner with your godparents on Sunday?"
"We don't have any plans, so I don't see why not. Let me run it by Mari first. I've never meet Spencer or Penelope and I would really like to meet them before I start at Quantico. I'm sure they would have some questions with the name Morgan popping up.
"What brought all of this up? I mean, I thought you had a falling out and didn't speak with either of them."
"Their oldest son stopped by and, well we had a conversation."
"They have a kid? I thought they weren't a couple?"
"Apparently, they have a few children together and are married. I need to explain a few things to them and to you. I should have done it a long time ago, but I let things go for too long."
"Does this have to do with why Mom left?"
Derek heaved a huge sigh. He should have known. Hank could read people from a mile away.
"That's only part of it. I made so many mistakes, and it's time I faced them. I'll explain it all at diner."
"Are you sure you want Mari there?"
"She's about to become part of our family. She should hear it too. I can't keep this a secret any longer."
"Okay, Dad, we'll come to diner."
They continued their conversation for another hour before they said their goodbyes.
Derek grabbed a beer from the fridge, and sat out on his back deck. He looked up at the bright, full moon. He couldn't help but relive that night. that single moment that cost him everything.
With his head hung low, and his face in his hands he morned the loss of all the good things he once had in life.
A/N this felt like a good place to stop. It will most likely only be 4 to 5 chapters long. Derek's reasoning will be coming soon.
