Penelope opened her eyes on Thanksgiving morning and smiled as she rubbed her growing stomach, she sat up on the side of the bed and yawned as she heard a knock on the door. She rubbed her eyes and said, "come in". Her mom stepped inside and said, "Happy Thanksgiving sweetie", Penelope smiled and said, "Happy Thanksgiving to you to mom".

Monica said, "we have everything packed up and ready to head over to the Rossis for dinner", Penelope jumped up and said, "I will be ready in just a few minutes momma, I promise". Monica said, "take your time honey, I'm gonna go back downstairs and help your dad get the car loaded", Penelope sighed as she watched her mom walk out of the room.

Derek was whistling as he stepped into the kitchen, he kissed his mom on the cheek and said, "Happy Thanksgiving mama", she turned around and hugged him and said, "Happy Thanksgiving baby boy". Derek laughed and said, "do you need any help packing any of that stuff up"?, Fran laughed and said, "yes please, I need some help with the desserts".

JJ sighed as she walked through the house, her mom said, "honey what's wrong"?, she plopped down at the kitchen table and started helping wrap the food so that they could load it in the car. She said, "I miss Spence mom, it is gonna seem so odd for all of us to be together and him not be there", her mom hugged her and said, "it will be ok sweetie, now help me get this in the trunk of the car before your father starts honking that horn again".

Emily rides over to Daves with Hotch since her parents are out of town on business, Hotch intertwines fingers with her and says, "Happy Thanksgiving beautiful". Emily smiles and says, "Happy Thanksgiving to you to Aaron", Hotch kisses her lips gently and says, "come on honey today is gonna be so awesome, we are all gonna be there together with all of our famalies"

Emily sighed and said, "I won't have my parents here today, they are stuck in Prague", he kissed her temple and said, "you still have all of us and our famalies sweetie". She smiled and said, "your right Aaron", as Hotchs mom knocks on the door, Dave smiles when he opens the door, he says, "come in please everybody and Happy Thanksgiving".

The Hotchners smile as they step inside with their arms filled with food, Dave says, "follow me and I will show you where you can put that down", he then reaches and takes Mrs. Hotchners load and walks through the house. Emily gets ready to close the door when she sees JJ and her parents pulling in, she runs out to the car and hugs JJ and says, "Happy Thanksgiving everybody".

Penelope and her parents pull into the driveway and she is getting out of the car when Derek and his family pulls up, he runs over and helps her out of the car and kisses her lips and says, "Happy Thanksgiving baby". Penelope kisses his lips again and says, "Happy Thanksgiving right back to you handsome,

Jordan was sitting on the couch when there was a knock on the door, her mom looked at her and said, "I invited guests over for dinner honey, can you get the door for me please"?, Jordan sighed and said, "sure mom", she then walked over and opened the door and she couldn't help but smile when she saw Kevin and his parents on the other side of the door.

She stepped aside and said, "please come in and make yourselves at home", Kevin put his hand in hers and said, "how are you feeling today sweetie"?, she sighed and said, "I'm feeling great this morning, well so far". Jordans mom walked into the living room and said, "you have great timing dinner is ready to be served, won't you come into the dining room".

Derek looked over at JJ and then leaned in and whispered into Penelopes ear, "she is gonna be so surprised in about a minute", Penelope grinned and said, "why is that handsome"?, Derek kissed her lips and said, "Reid sent me a message telling me that his mom was doing alot better and he was coming home andddd he just sent me a text saying that they are up the street".

Penelope said, "they"?, Derek laughed and said, "yeah, you will never guess who he ran into at the airport"?, Penelope covered her mouth and said, "ohhhh please tell me that it is who I think it is". Derek kised her lips and when they pulled apart he winked at her and said, "you are so so right baby girl, now all we have to do is wait for Reid to knock at the door".

Everybody was getting ready to sit down for dinner at the Rossis when there was a knock at the door, JJ smiled and said, "I'll get it Dave", he grinned and said, "ok JJ", he motioned for everybody to come and watch what happened when she opened the door. She opens the door and sees Reid standing on the other side of the door.

He grins and says, "Happy Thanksgiving baby, I have missed you", JJ practically jumps into his arms and kisses his lips passionately, when they pull apart she says, "ohhhhhhh I have missed you to Spence, why didn't you tell me that you were coming"?, he said, "I wanted to surprise you sweetie and I am not the only one that is here for a surprise".
