Team Dynamics-Ch 3
After getting Hank tucked in to her bed Derek and Penelope sat in her living room, Derek looked at her and said, "baby girl we need to talk", she said, "talk, talk about what"?, he intertwined their fingers and said, "us". She sighed and said, "I can't handle any more bad news today hotstuff", he grinned and said, "well it's a good thing that this is good news then sweetness".
She sighed and said, "alright lay it on me", he blew out a deep breath and said, "I love you", she said, "I love you to", he said, "no I mean I love you love you, as in I'm in love with you". She sat there with her mouth open and she said, "I must have had an episode", Derek shook his head and said, "no sweetness, you heard me right, I'm in love with you".
Penelope said, "you, tall dark and ohhhhhhhhh so sexy are in love with me"?, he nodded his head and said, "'I am and I have been for the longest time sweetness". She smiled and said, "I love you to", he said, "so what are we going to do about this"?, she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "I have a few ideas".
Derek said, "my divorce will be final any day", Penelope listened as he suggested, "I know you and I know that you would consider yourself that woman if we moved on to the intimate part of our relationship before my divorce is final". She nodded her head yes in agreement and he said, "sooooo I want to date you, woo you Derek Morgan style and then when the divorce is final we can go to the next step, that is if you're ready".
Penelope smiled and said, "I like that plan hotstuff", he sighed happily and said, "I knew you would baby girl", she looked up at him and said, "I don't want our relationship to be something that she can use against you reguarding Hanks custody". Derek said, "I'm fighting for sole custody", Penelope said, "what's she saying about that"?, he said, "well she wasn't to happy but my lawyer told me that since what she did was adultery that the judge would probably side with me on the custody of my son".
She smiled and said, "he needs to be with you in a stable, loving home not with that cheating woman", Derek laughed and said, "enough talk about Savannah, tell me what's up with this Barnes woman, what's her deal"?, Penelope said, "it's like she's out to destroy us all, the team I mean, nothing and I mean nothing that happened during that last case was our fault".
Derek listened as Penelope said, "she just stepped in and well hotstuff she stepped in and was rude to the police and all others concerned and then she had the nerve to blame us, mainly JJ for what occurred". Derek said, "maybe you should do that thing you do and see what you can find out about her"?, Penelope bit down on her bottom lip and said, "true, she's already separated almost everybody and I for one would like to know what's going on, what her true reason is".
Derek leaned in and kissed her lips gently and said, "that's my girl", he then grinned knowing what he had to do next, their was a call that he had to make, one that would make the team, especially Emily extremely happy. Hank started waking up and Penelope said, "I'll go check on him", Derek nodded his head and said, "thanks sweetness".
As she walked away he got up and grabbed his cell out of his pocket and did a familiar number and after a few rings he heard, "hey Morgan, what's up"?, Derek said, "Hotch man, we need to talk" and then he started filling Hotch in on everything that had been happening over the past few weeks.
