No one said anything once the team figured out that they were dating. The only thing that changed about them was Penelope's smile. She smiled more and she seemed happy for the first time since Sam died. It was good to see her not being so sad and depressed anymore.

A happy Penelope meant that no one had to worry about her working extra hours trying to escape into the endless paperwork.

They were taking thing slowly neither wanted to rush things. When he was in town they ate lunch together, almost always at the round table but rarely alone, the team liked to unwind and eat together when they could, especially when they weren't chasing unsubs.

With team C out Penelope had to wait and take her lunch later than normal. It was fine with her as team A was on their way home she could eat with them before they started in on the paperwork they had for their last case.

Digging her sandwich and carrots out of her lunch bag she hears angry voice and footstep coming closer. Thinking that it might be better if she made a hasty retreat she starts to pack up. Only to be trapped in the room when her favorite team comes in and closes the door behind them.

Reid looks at Tony standing his ground he tells him with just enough force in his voice to make his point. "I'm not a child that needs to be protected."

"I know you're not and I'm sorry if I came off as an over bearing jackass. But I had my reasons." Tony replies simply not raising his voice and not giving in either.

"Tell us why Tony." Rossi suggests.

He sighs before he says anything. " There was a child there in the community center who had the measles. I was surprised, since moistly all children now a days are vaccinated. I was interviewing the mother. She told me that almost all of the children in their church aren't vaccinated or even go to doctors, they don't believe in going. Leaving it all in G-d's hands."

"Why is relevant?" Hotch asks, his facial expression firm as he folds his arms across his chest.

Tony shifted his weight from one foot to the other. "Before I go to any new posting I always research as much as possible about the people that I will be working with. It comes from being burnt more that once. Most of you were easy, the law enforcement community in DC isn't large. Bedsides my clearance is high enough that I can access most federal data bases. With Dr. Reid I heard lots of things and I called in a favor, I talked to a someone in Las Vegas. To get to the point I wasn't sure with his mother being as ill as she was, if he was ever inoculated as a child. I didn't want him to be exposed to what ever bugs were floating around that community. Speaking from experience it's always better safe than sorry."

"What experience?" JJ asks.

"My parents were either too drunk or didn't care, the only time I saw a doctor was when one would show up and patch me up after I "fell" and needed stitches or a cast.

I never saw one before I entered RIMA, I do remember all of the paperwork being in order. No one ever asks and I never said anything. In College I got the mumps, from a transfer student from overseas."

"Ouch." Morgan says softly.

"Don't you know it. But I'm fully inoculated now for everything imaginable thanks to Dr. Pitt. When he was treating me for the plague he ran my blood for everything and anything. He made me his personal pincushion for the next year, he said that I couldn't risk getting sick from simple childhood diseases because my immune system is compromised. So I'm sorry if I came off as an overly worried pain in the ass."

Reid nods his head, smilingly slightly. "I understand, thank you, no worries. I'm fully inoculated as well. My mother could not keep on top of those things when she was off her medication, but I could. It is very dangerous for a man to get the mumps it can lead to some unwelcome lasting side effects, becoming sterile is one of them." Reid says.

"I know." He says as his looks at Penelope, as she smiled at him.

Penelope stands and gathers her things. "Now that you're all back safely. I'm leaving in an hour I have a final walk through for the house that I'm buying, before I sign on the dotted line."

"House? What house?" Derek asks. "Why didn't you ask one of us to help you, can you afford a house in this market?"

"No worries Sweet cheeks. The house was one that Sam and I were looking at before he died. The owners took if off of the market for a few months. They put it back and the realtor called me to let me know, she knew how much I liked it. As for the money I'll have a fifty K loan after I put down the down payment." She can see the look of surprise on their faces. "After what happened I sued, that is after I was talked into it by my own determined lawyer. He got me a great settlement and is only taking the filling fees as payment. That and six months of professional phone conversations when you are all on cases out of town."

They all look at Hotch and can see a ghost of a smile on his face. "Well done Aaron." Rossi says.

"Before you all ask, no Tony didn't know about he house and yes I knew about the side effects of him have the mumps. He told me right after we started to date, after I told him that he should find someone that he can have a family with because I couldn't have children."

"Why didn't you say anything to us about any of this?" Kate asks.

"Because I hold the keys to the Keep. I keep all of your secrets and protect you the best I can. In my lair within my cyber world."

"Go start your reports I want to go with Garcia just in case she has any questions."

"I'm coming too, I want to give the house a once over. I don't want them to try and hide anything from you." Morgan adds.

"Might as well add me in, I need to see what I can buy as a house warming gift." Rossi tells Hotch.

JJ, Kate and Spencer share a look, that doesn't go unnoticed by Hotch. "One hour go start and we have to take our personal cars."

"Cookie?"

"I want you to come see it Tony, you'll like it. There is even a perfect place for a piano, someday." she tells him softly.
