Team Dynamics-Ch 4
Derek and Hank spent the night at Penelopes apartment and while Hank slept Derek and Penelope sat up talking and trying to find out something about the assistant director Barnes. Penelope blew a strand of hair out of her face and said, "nobody can be this squeaky clean hotstuff, nobody".
Derek said, "I agree sweetness, it looks like maybe somebodys records have been erased, is their any way you can do your thang and find them again"?, she tapped her finger to her chin and said, "maybe but first how about you, me and Hank go and get some breakfast and then we can call a family meeting and get everybody involved in this".
He kissed her lips gently and said, "you go get ready and I'll get Hank up and ready", she smiled and said, "ohhh by the way who were you talking to on the phone lastnight"?, he grinned and said, "now that's a surprise and I promise you'll find out later today". She stood up and stretched and said, "I'll hold you to that' as she disappeared into her bathroom and closed the door.
Derek was getting his son dressed a few minutes later and he got a text, he pulled his cell out and smiled as he saw that it was from Hotch, he read the text that said, "WE JUST LANDED, WE'LL MEET EVERYBODY AT NOON AT EMILYS". He sent a text back saying, "SOUNDS LIKE A PLAN MAN, SEE YOU GUYS THEN".
He looked up to see Penelope standing there in a beautiful black and red floral dress, he said, "looking amazing goddess, as usual", she smiled and said, "why thank you hotstuff". He said, "if you don't care, can you watch Hank and let me grab a quick shower"?, she said, "sure can angel fish, sure can" and she then watched as he walked out to his truck and grabbed his bag out and headed back inside.
When he stepped through the front door he couldn't help but smile because he saw his baby girl and his son bonding in front of the tv, they were watching a cartoon. He kissed Hank on the top of the head and then Penelope on the lips and said, "don't worry I won't be long", she grinned and said, "don't worry handsome, take your time".
Before walking into the bathroom he said, "oh sweetness can you send a group text and get everybody to meet you at Ems at noon and don't tell anybody that I'm home yet, I want it to be a surprise". She laughed and said, "will do sugar" and she pulled her cell out of her purse and sent a text asking everybody to meet her at Emilys at noon.
When Derek walked out a few minutes later he said, "alright who's ready for some breakfastttttttt"?, Hank and Penelope said, "meeeeeee", he grinned and said, "alright let's get this show on the roadddddd". Hank slid his little hand in hers and Derek couldn't help but smile as they all headed out the door and toward Dereks truck.
They went to their favorite diner and enjoyed a delicious breakfast, Hank had chocolate chip pancakes, Derek had pancakes, ham and eggs and Penelope had pancakes, fresh juice and coffee. After breakfast they climbed back into Dereks truck and headed across town to Emilys house, Derek reached over and intertwined fingers with Penelope and said, "I love you", she grinned and said, "I love you to".
A few minutes later they were walking toward Emilys front door, Derek raised his hand and knocked and then Emily opened the door and said, "Morgannn" as she threw her arms around him. He said, "hey there princess, how are you doing"?, he walked in and then she hugged Penelope and smiled down at Hank as he ran in.
She blew out a deep breath and said, "I'm sure PG has told you everything"?, he nodded his head and said, "yeah and I'm so sorry", she said, "assistant director Barnes is a real piece of work and she's taking out her hatred of me out on the rest of the team". Her attention then turned to the door and Derek said, "speaking of the rest of the team".
She opened the door and saw her friends standing there, she said, "come in guys, come in", after everybody had walked in she said, "what's up"?, Dave said, "we got a text from kitten and she asked us to meet her here". Fran looked up and saw her son and said, "when did you get in baby boy"?, he said, "last night momma, we spent the night with baby girl".
Hank giggled as Fran picked him up and kissed his cheeks and said, "nana loves you little man", Hank wrapped his arms around her and said, "lub you nana" as he squeezed her tight. Emily said, "well since the gangs all here, what's up"?, Derek said, "we're waiting on more people", Emily said, "who's left, everybody's here".
Henry said, "aunt Em can I watch tv"?, she said, "sure buddy" and he said, "thankssss" as he ran toward the living room and the huge tv, Emily was opening her mouth to ask who was left to come when she had another knock on her door. She walked over and opened the door and she smiled when she saw Hotch and Jack.
She threw her arms around Hotchs neck and said, "ohhhhh how I've missed you guys", Derek smiled and said, "now the gang is officially all here" as they stood watching Hotch and Emily. Jack heard Henry laughing in the living room and said, "Henryyyyy", Henry came running through the house saying, "Jackkkkkk, welcome home" as he threw his arms around his friend.
Penelope said, "it's so good to see you bossman, you and Jackers both", Hotch said, "after Morgan called me and told me what happened we knew that we had to come back home to our family". Emily wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face and said, "I've missed you guys so so much", Hotch smiled at her and said, "believe me the feelings are mutual" as he pulled her back into his arms.
Everybody laughed and clapped their hands as Hotch dipped Emily in his arms and kissed her lips passionately, now that everybody was together they could get to the bottom of Mrs. Linda Barnes.
