Derek walks his family around the bullpen like a proud son. This is their second visit to DC and he wanted to make sure they had a great time. He took off a couple of days for his birthday to show them around the city and of 'course the first stop was work.
"Hi Desiree!" Reid said a bit too excited. He then tried to balance it out with "Derek said that you were coming later this evening. We are in the middle of an interesting discussion about the Death Star.."
"And you remember Prentiss and Reid?" Derek interrupted
"Of course," Fran said with the warmest smile.
"Baby Girl" he called from across the room.
"So that is his Baby Girl." Desiree says to Fran.
Reid and Emily share a knowing glance and smirk.
"Mom and Des, this is Penelope Garcia"
"Nice to meet you." Penelope replied.
Fran reached out and gave her a big hug—"We've heard so much about you. It's great to put a face with a name—a pretty face I might add," she said to Derek.
Penelope blushed; and Derek said, "Stop it", playfully.
He turns to Reid and Prentiss—do you know where JJ is?
Reid glances at her office and replies, "I think she is training her replacement – Jordan Todd, I think."
"So what do you guys have planned?" Penelope says to the Morgan ladies.
"Derek is taking us to a couple of places in DC and we just came back from the Baltimore Pier—the renovations are amazing—have you been?" Des asked.
"No" Penelope replied.
"Yes, you have princess, when we went to the Bay and we stopped there for beignets. Remember the place is like Du Monde in New Orleans."
"Right, the mall and hotel on the pier" Penelope's phone alarm goes off… "whoopsie, I gotta head to a debrief—It was great meeting you and see you at dinner"
Back Room of Cubano
Dave Rossi and Fran enter the back room at the same time.
"It's good to see you again, Fran"
She blushes "you too David"
"It was great seeing you at the book sign a few months back and I'm glad you enjoyed the book"
"Yes, and I enjoyed dinner too David" she said smiling shyly.
The room is bustling with good conversation and laughter.
"Yes, Will is really liking the DC police. His partner is great—she has 2 beautiful girls."
That is fantastic" Emily replied
"Emily, the guys in his squad are pretty handsome," she said with that fixer-up smile.
"Thanks but no thanks, I hate blind dates"
Penelope entered 30 minutes later— "Sorry, I'm late "she said grabbing the seat next to Reid.
"I'm just glad you're here princess" he smiled "oh and I ordered for you"
"Thanks, handsome"
The conversation and the good times continued. When dessert was served Fran toasted Derek.
"Derek, you are the sunshine in my day and I know if your father were with us today - he would be so proud to see the man you have become." She looks a Derek pointedly "I am so proud of you. Hotch, Rossi, JJ, Reid, Emily and Penelope – thank you for keeping him safe and loving him as much as I do. You all are family and if you don't mind can we all bow our heads and pray."
The BAU team complied with Ms. Morgan's request.
"I pray that god will deliver me a few grand babies sooner than later."
The table erupted with laughter.
"Mom" he said which made everyone just laughs harder.
Derek's House
Later that evening Penelope called Derek.
"Are you home?"
"Yup, I just dropped them off at their hotel."
"Great, I'm coming over—I forgot to give you your present"
He answered the door half naked. She came over in a trench coat.
This was going to be interesting, he thought.
Underneath the coat was a flesh tone nightie bedazzled with faux jewels, her gorgeous legs, and black high heels. She looked like a voluptuous Vegas showgirl.
"If my memory serves me correct – there are 3 rooms we haven't had sex in yet – I don't know if a foyer is considered a room, but let's check it off for good measure." She pushed him up against the door and started kissing him. She made her way to his trousers and proceeded to show him the pleasure of her mouth.
They made love in all the rooms that night—for good measure.
She wakes up to the smell of breakfast. She throws on her robe, brushes her teeth, and yes adds a touch of concealer & gloss before she heads downstairs.
"Hot Stuff whatchamakin'?"
When she turned the corner, she saw Fran and Desiree in the kitchen.
"Oh my," she gasped.
"Penelope?"
"I knew it!" Desiree exclaims.
"I'm sorry, I thought you were Derek."
Speak of the devil; Derek came back from his run with Clooney to be greeted by all the women in his life at once.
"Morning?" he said surprised.
Desiree took this time to point out the obvious.. "We came by to make you breakfast and hang out and look who we see… your girlfriend."
"I am feeling extremely underdress… I'm gonna throw on some clothes."
Breakfast will be done in 15 minutes Fran called after her.
"What happened here?" he asked them while giving them kisses.
"She thought we were you, hot stuff." Des said with laughter in her voice.
"Cut it out Des… I didn't get a chance to introduce your properly last night, but I was mom" he gave her another kiss.
"I'm gonna go freshen up" he said as he made his way up the stairs.
He opened up the bedroom door and heard her in the shower. He got naked and headed to the bathroom.
"Hey you" he said as he joined her in the shower.
"Hey" she said, making space for him in the shower.
"Sorry about that."
"No, they're your family. I just – I'm just embarrassed that's all… no biggie"
"No need to be, they've seen me in worse predicaments with my girlfriends?"
He kissed her.
"Well boyfriend, show me the predicaments you speak of?"
"We don't have enough time" he said sternly "But, I can show you when they leave" he teased.
"I don't know they may come back to make us lunch and you don't know how to have a quickie" she teased.
A few minutes later
"Crap," she said as they got dressed in his bedroom.
"What?"
"I never remember the hair dryer. Thank god, I don't travel with you guys because I would never have my dryer."
"I bought you one. It's on the 2nd shelf in the closet of the bathroom, I thought I told you."
"My hair loves and I love you, my chocolate Adonis" she kissed him and hustled to the bathroom.
Dinning Room
The spread Fran made was phenomenal – it was like every breakfast food you can think of for like 10 people.
"Wow, mom you went all out."
"Grab a seat and dig in."
Fran and Des alternated playing 20 questions with Penelope. They knew the basics who she was, where she was from, what she loved, and random facts. However, they didn't know about her parents which she hated discussing—it always made her sad no matter what and sometimes it was hard to perk back up. This was the first instance where that did not take place. Fran's follow-up question almost made the orange juice come out of her nose.
"Do you want kids? How big of a family? —Derek promised me a million grand babies."
"It never gets old, mom" he said as he squeezed Penelope's hand
"Wowsers, I was thinking 2 or 3." She replied with a smile.
They continued talking until they exhausted all possible topics, it seemed.
"I apologize but I have to dash. I'm supposed to meet up with JJ at 230."
"It was great meeting you both and spending time with you", she said as she gave them a kiss and a hug.
"Let me walk you out, baby girl."
"Thank you for a great birthday present and birthday night." He said as they headed to the door.
"Oh that reminds me, here" she said as she passed him a gift from purse.
She kisses him and says have fun.
When he made it back to the kitchen, his mother said "I love my future daughter in law!"
"Yes, hot stuff she is pretty amazing – so what is the deal with Reid?" Des asked
Buy Buy Baby
"JJ you have to get him a few sailor out fits, Blonds toddlers look so cute in them"
"We don't even know if he will be blond"
"Oh he will be" she smiled.
"What about you – when are you going to give Fran those grand babies?"
"Ohmigod, how crazy was that. I know that he told her about us but they were there this morning making breakfast and I thought it was Derek … all I was wearing was this skimpy robe - they almost saw too much Penelope."
"What I would give to be a fly on the wall that morning." JJ teased.
"And I know where Derek learned his integration skills—his mom. She knows how many kids I want, that my parent died, the car I drive, and that I have a hint of cellulite at the top of my thighs… too much info JJ."
"I think that is pretty normal stuff."
"My ex's mother, was so particular. I felt like I had to get dressed up every time we went out in my Eddie Bauer best—just to look casual and crisp."
"You have Eddie Bauer Clothes?" she asked skeptically.
"Yeah, Eddie Bauer, J Crew, and some fancier dress for formal dinner, of 'course. She was an uptight lady who lunched. Anyway Fran was different – she is like can you give me grand babies—tomorrow."
The continue to look at clothes when JJ asks
"So how are things going with Morgan?"
"Amazingly well. I don't think I've ever been this happy. He just get's me and I feel at ease with him. I mean, I didn't always feel that way—his looks are too disarming sometimes – I felt like I was waiting for the other shoe to drop. But then I realized like neo in the matrix what if there's no shoe- get it no spoon."
"I think you needed Spencer her to land that joke."
"Basically, I love Mr. Hot Stuff" she laughed.
Did she just say that… it rolled of her tongue so easily. She did love him and he loved her. Sometimes life is just that wonderful and easy.
"I think you need this"—she picked up a pair of denim overalls.
