He couldn't believe his ears. Had he really been so blind to what had been going on with his team? With his baby girl? Did she push him away or did he push her? He thought back to three months ago.

There was a knock on his door; he didn't even look up from his paper work to see who it was.

"Come in"

"Hey Morgan, I wanted to see if you would like to come…"

"Garcia, I'm kind of busy right now. "

"Oh yeah sure." she turned and walked out of the door, and in turn walked out of his life.

That wasn't the only time though.

He walked into her office with papers that need to be filed.

"Garcia I need you do file these for me."

"Sure thing Boss" She grabbed the papers from his hand and he turned to leave

"Oh Morgan, There is going to be a cook..."

He didn't even look back at her he just continued on his way out of the office.

She had tried to include him but he always pushed her away and now it looks like he pushed her away into the arms of another man. He cursed himself, how could he have been so stupid to push her away when she had been the only opinion that ever mattered to him.

He watched the bathroom door, he knew he was torturing himself but he couldn't help it. When he saw them come out; her hair was a mess clothes disheveled there was no denying what had just happened. He watched them walk over to the bar and grab some drinks.

John held her in a possessive manor as they made their way back to the table. They were smiling and laughing. Hotch shook his head. He had loosened up considerably when he wasn't the Unit Chef. He even joked and made it his business to have a good time. He looked at the couple "Who's in the lead now?" He said with a smile. Without missing a beat John replied "I'm always behind Penelope." he said with a laugh

"Gross guys!" said JJ with a mock looks of disgust. Really she loved the stories and their game. It made her and Will start their own version.

"Soon to be new/old Boss man, I believe I just pulled ahead." She said with a wink.

"No way sweet thing, this is a repeat so you only get two. If my calculations are correct we are dead even." John said holding her close.

"Sorry John but you're wrong. Even if this was only two points it puts Garcia 1 point ahead of you." Everyone looked at the boy genius "I have an eidetic memory, and I keep score. What do you want from me?"

"Thank you Boy Wonder." Every laughed but Morgan he still couldn't believe what was going on. "I guess I'll have to come up with something wont I?" John said kissing the side of her neck.

"I'm going to grab a beer" Morgan announced getting up from the table. JJ looked at the group, "What's wrong with him?"

Rossi spoke up "He was just enlightened into our kittens new let's say life style."

Penelope looked at Rossi and shrugged. "Oh well. Wanna dance Reid?"

Reid turned to Penelope "You know I don't dance."

"Yeah you said that last time, come on we are dancing."

"Did you wash your hands?"

She grabbed the Purell from her purse "Yes, but here look." she squirted some into her hands. "Happy now? Lets go." She yanked him by the tie and onto the dance floor. Morgan sat back at the bar and watched. How did he miss all of this? Even Reid was dancing now. He watched as Emily and her guy made their way over to the table. He took a deep breath and followed suite making his way back.

"Hey Morgan, you came out tonight? Didn't think that was gonna happen." Emily said looking at Morgan.

"Yeah well it was my last day as Unit Chief I wanted to celebrate. Who's this?" He nodded his head towards her date.

"Oh this is my friend from Interpol." She looked over at her date. "Tom, I'd like to meet my Unit Chief Derek Morgan." The two men exchanged handshakes but Morgan was forgotten all too fast. "John are you ready for the game tomorrow? I was thinking about heading to the field early for some batting practice. Do you think I can tare you away from PG for a few extra hours?"

"I don't know, Tom. I was just informed by Reid she's ahead of me, so I need to step up my game."

Emily jumped in. "Did you do my suggestion? Come on John she would LOVE it! I know we talked about it a couple weeks ago."

"But she knows about that one so I need to come up with something else. I need to figure out a 4 or 5 point one."

"A five point... ohhhh Pen and I haven't talked about 5 point ones yet. Tell me so I can tell Will."

John burst out laughing. "Maybe when you're older kid."

"What are you laughing at my smokin' hot God?"

"Nothing baby cakes" Morgan paled he thought he was going to call her baby girl.

"Reid, you're all red" Hotch said with a smirk

"You'd be too if she danced like that with you!" He said motioning to Garcia.

"Nah, you just don't know how to handle her." He got up and moved to take Garcia's hand

"Lets show Reid how it's done"

"Be still my heart! I swear if you go back to the old you once you're our boss again I'll wipe you off the planet."

"Never Garcia. Lets go." and they made their way to the dance floor

Morgan's head was spinning; it felt like he didn't know any of these people anymore. They were strangers to him. He needed to change this; he needed to be the fun one in the group again. He needed to get his baby girl back. He watched the dance floor as Hotch and Garcia got down and dirty. She looked beautiful so confidant without a care in the world. He looked back and John, had he missed his chance with her all over again?
