Thank you so much for the reviews on the last chapter they honestly make my day better. I hope you like how this chapter turned out, and peoples thoughts I have put in italics, im hoping its easy enough to understand. I have stated in other places where I have used italics what they are so it should be ok. Thank you guys honestly.

DISCLAIMER- I own nothing I am just borrowing them :)


It had been a couple of days and so far Penelope had managed to avoid Derek in a social way, coming up with excuses to why she wasn't available for movie nights or for drinks with the team, but she was now noticing it was getting harder and harder to avoid him, and if she was completely honest with herself it was getting harder for her to keep it quiet. She is not one to keep secrets, well if it was extremely important she might be able to, but she has never been in that situation before, someone has always been able to make her spill.

Today at work they had no case so it was really a boring day for her and the fact she is hiding in her office when she wants to be out in the bullpen talking to JJ or Spence but she's scared she will see Derek and he will know straight away that she is hiding something.

Derek sat in his office with yet another massive pile of case files to go over, but again his mind is preoccupied, ever since he had talked to pen about Emily the other day she has been avoiding him. He asked her last night if she wanted to go for a drink or for a movie and she basically ran away from him. What have I done to the pair of them? He muses. He wants to sort whatever it is today and decides to try Emily first then he will tackle pen. He decides to text Emily first to see if she is free for a call which he feels will be a no like the other million times he has tried.

Are you free for a phone call? He pops his phone down not expecting a reply straight away but is pleasantry surprised when his phone beeps back rather quickly.

Yeah baby, give me two minutes and I'll call you. Finally he thinks maybe now he will be able to hear in her voice if everything really is ok.

Just as she said two minutes later his phone rings.

"Hey baby, I'm sorry I've not called you, I miss you."

"Finally Em, What have I done? And don't say you've been busy because you have been busy before and still managed to squeeze a call in."

Crappity crap she thinks before she answers. "Derek, why do you think you have done something wrong, you haven't. I honestly have been busy, I need to start finding someone to replace me, I need to do interviews and on top of that I have my own work to do. Not to mention your constant text messages and phone calls, I really don't know how I can make it clearer." Great now I am being bitchy, god damn it Emily you have not thought about this surprise at all.

"Look Derek, I'm sorry, you honestly have done nothing wrong and I am just stressed out."

"If you say so Emily, You are obviously regretting wanting to come home. I tell you what I'll make it easier for you don't bother" and with that he hangs up.

Emily stares at her phone shocked, yes she was a complete bitch but he had never been that mad at her before and he had certainly never hung up on her before. She puts her hands in her hair exasperated at the whole situation. She will let him calm down for a day then try again to talk to him in a nicer way.

Derek was angry now, even though he didn't mean what he said he still regretted it, they never argue and now he thinks that there is definitely something going on, what he has no idea. He chucks his phone down and makes his way to go talk to Penelope hoping that, that conversation goes better.

Penelope is in her own little world when her office door swings open, making her jump a little.

"Sorry baby girl didn't mean to scare you"

"No its ok I was just day dreaming, what can I do for you?"

"Well you can tell me why you have been avoiding me ever since I told you about whatever it is that's happening with me and Emily"

Oh god, oh god how will I keep it quiet, god damn it. "I haven't been, I've just been a bit busier than usual"

Same excuse as Emily, why don't I believe her. "Pen, please don't lie to me, I have enough of that of Emily at the moment I don't need it from you too"

She sees how much this is hurting him and before she knows what she is doing "Emily will be home properly by the end of this month." She moves her hand to cover her mouth. "Crap, Derek I wasn't meant to tell you, oh god why did you make me tell you, I am a horrible friend, I told Emily I wouldn't tell you I"

She doesn't get a chance to finish before Derek interrupts her "Breathe baby girl breathe, so this is why Emily is telling me she's busy and why you have been avoiding me"

Penelope notices that his whole body language has relaxed and he looks happy again for the first time in a few weeks.

"Yes, oh god Derek please don't tell her I told you, she will hate me, she wanted to surprise you and now I've ruined it."

"Baby girl, she won't hate you, and no I won't tell her I know I promise. Thank you for telling me though pen because honestly I was going crazy I had all these crazy thoughts going through my head."

"Thank you, and you shouldn't have worried so much, you know she loves you Derek."

"I know baby girl really I do, that woman will be the death of me though."

They both laugh at that.

"So are you going to surprise her now?"

"Hmmm, maybe you will just have to wait and see baby girl"

He doesn't let her reply before he turns and makes his way back to his office, a smile on his face that no one was going to wipe off. He gets back to his office and his phone beeps indicating a text message.

I'm sorry baby I shouldn't have spoken to you like that, I love you and I am not regretting coming home please believe that, you have done nothing wrong, it must be my time of the month or something anyway ill stop rambling on I love you Derek Morgan xxo.

He smiles reading her words, after his talk with Pen he has realised just how lucky he is to have Emily Prentiss as his girlfriend.

He shoots back a reply. Don't apologise baby I am the one that's sorry. You Emily Prentiss are the best thing that's happened to me, hurry your ass home. I miss you and I love you xx

He picks up a case file to review, and is quickly distracted by ideas on what he can do to surprise her and that takes longer than he thought because before he can get back to pile of case files that haven't lessened they are called away on a case.


I know I kind of jumped from person to person and I hope it worked out ok, I don't have a beta to help me structure it properly but well anyway let me know in the reviews if it was ok. I love you guys for reading this and for being loyal readers, and also a thank you to all my new readers :)
