Derek was starting to worry, he hadn't spoken to Emily in 7 days, the last time he had heard from her was when she had sent that text. He had tried calling and texting and had nothing in return. Sitting at his desk at work he thought he would try her office. After a few rings it's answered, but not by Emily.

"Hi, this is Derek Morgan is Emily there please?"

"Hello, I'm sorry she is rather busy at the moment can I take a message?"

"Oh ok, can you tell her to give me a call back, she has my number."

"I will do, is that all?"

"Yes thank you"

He hangs up the phone and feels a little better knowing she is ok, but he's still worried that he's done something, even though thinking back he can't see what that would be. They have been extremely happy, hell she is even coming home, so why is she ignoring me he thinks to himself. Looking down at his phone once more he shakes his head and goes back to reviewing cases, hoping that maybe by the end of the day he will have heard from her.

London

Emily's assistant Emma makes her way back into Emily's office to relay Derek's message but see's she is in a meeting with who she is not sure. Emily sees her through the window and waves her in.

"Sorry to interrupt"

"No its ok this is the new unit chief Daniel Anderson"

Emma looks confused for a minute "are you leaving?"

The man that can now see that Emily has not told anyone she is leaving yet, excuses himself to get a glass of water.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you I wanted to wait till I had met him, and for what it's worth he seems nice. I'm going back home."

Emma looks a little disappointed but covers it up quickly.

"I'm sorry you're going, you have been a great boss" she smiles.

"Thank you, honestly you helped me find my flow, I'm not leaving yet I have to train him up. So what was it you wanted?"

"Oh right, yeah Derek called and asked that you call him back when you have a minute, forgive me for intruding, is everything ok with you guys? I know that's a personal question but I think of us a friends and stop me now if I am going to far but you have never asked me to tell him you're busy before"

Emily looks a little shocked at first but then relaxes.

"It's going to sound really stupid and no I don't think you are intruding and yeah I think of you as a friend too. It's just, well he knows I'm coming home, but he doesn't know I'll be home by the end of the month I want to surprise him and I know that as soon as I speak to him, I won't be able to keep it from him."

"Ok maybe it's a little silly and also cute, but he did sound kind of wounded when I said you were busy, don't call him but do send him a text that way he knows you are definitely ok."

"I will and Emma"

"Yeah"

"Thank you."

"You are welcome, now I better get back because I have farewell drinks to arrange"

Emma basically skips out the office which makes Emily laugh.

She glances at the photo on her desk of her and Derek and realises Emma's right, Derek's probably thinking he has done something. She picks up her phone to text him. Hey baby, I'm sorry I haven't called or answered you all week, it's been really hectic, I will try and call you tonight depending on what time I get finished up here. I love you. She feels bad that she didn't just call him but she really doesn't want him to find out. Her phone beeps indicating she has a text Hey, I was beginning to think I had done something, I miss you baby, I hope you can call I want to hear your voice. I love you so much princess. She smiles upon reading his words before she can reply, Daniel walks back into her office.

"I'm sorry about that, shall we get back to business?"

"It's ok I needed a drink anyway"

"So are you ok to come in all this week to shadow me and figure out this job?"

"Yeah that sounds good"

Quantico

Not a call but at least she had let him know why she hadn't been in touch, although he still feels that something isn't quite right. He is hoping she does call because then he can ask and be able to hear in her voice if everything truly is ok.

He gets up and makes his way into the bullpen in dire need for some caffeine to finish that massive pile of cases, he sees Reid, Blake and JJ at their desks and smiles when he notices that Blake and JJ look just as bored as him.

Garcia comes bounding round the corner and bumps straight into Derek.

"Whoa baby girl"

"Sorry hot stuff, I was just on my way to see you"

"Everything ok?"

"Yeah was just bored, are you ok you look a bit glum?"

"Yeah baby girl I'm good"

She doesn't believe him and he knows it.

"Derek Morgan do not lie to the all-knowing oracle, now spill"

He releases a sigh, and thinks maybe talking to pen will help him sort his thoughts out.

"It's Em, I hadn't heard from her all week, and before you say anything we always speak every day, every night and morning we always text each other. Then this week there's been nothing until just now. I called her office but her assistant told me she was busy, then like 10 minutes later I get a text telling me she's been crazy busy and will try and call tonight."

"Well see you shouldn't be glum"

"No pen, it just feels like there is something she doesn't want to tell me, I don't know maybe I am just being paranoid, but she is distant and yes I know texts are toneless but it just felt different."

"Aw handsome, look I am sure it is absolutely nothing, I bet it is just cause she is busy, she loves you Derek."

"Yeah I know, I just hope she isn't having second thoughts about us."

"Hey stop that she loves you, you know that now stop over thinking it you and Emily are fine"

"Ok baby girl I'll try, I better get back to those case files cause if not I'll be here all night.

He turns and walks away and Garcia makes her way back to her office, now on a mission to call her raven haired beauty to double check everything is ok.

She calls her office and her assistant answers.

"Hi can I speak to Emily please?"

She is put through straight away.

"Hello Emily Prentiss"

"Hi Em"

"Hey PG, you ok?"

"Yes I'm all good, are you ok? I've just spoke to Derek and well dear he is glum what's going on?"

There is no venom in her voice just genuine curiosity.

"Pen, nothing is wrong really, like I told Derek I have just had a very hectic week"

"Well ok but answer me this, how come you have time to talk to me now but not to call Derek?"

She curses under her breath, she really should have thought about this before talking to her, she's going to have to tell her the truth.

"Ok, ok I'll tell you the truth, please let me finish before you say anything. I am coming home, I have no idea if Derek has told you but anyway, Derek thinks it'll be about six months but in fact I am going to be home by the end of this month, and I know it's stupid but I want to surprise him, and I know for a fact that as soon as he actually hears my voice he'll know I am not telling him something."

Garcia lets out a huge squeal, and Emily has to move the phone away from her ear.

"Oh my god, you are coming home, no he didn't tell me, and no I don't think it's silly I think it's extremely romantic, Oh Em he is going to be so happy, are you moving in with him? Oh what am I thinking of course you are"

"PG calm down, breathe, Yes I am moving in with him"

"Omg Em I am so happy, but call him really I can't deal with his moping face he's too cute to frown, you were a profiler you can hide this I know it."

"Ha ha ha, ok PG I will, I have to go now though ok"

"Ok, speak soon my darling"

"Bye PG"

Oh crap, how am I going to keep this from Derek, Hell I'm going to have to avoid him too now. Penelope muses to herself.

So do you think Penelope will be able to keep the secret to herself, let me know in the reviews :)
