Desire-Ch 19

When Penelope got back to the house Eric was waiting on her, he wrapped her up in his arms and said, "are you alright, have you been crying"?, she wiped her eyes and said, "I'm fine, something blew into my eye down at the beach". He kissed her lips gently and said, "I was hoping that the two of could go out for a little dinner and dancing"?, she smiled and said, "I'd like that, let me go change my clothes and I'll be right down", he kissed her lips gently and smiled as he watched her walk up the stairs.

Eric smiled and said, "it's working, my plan is working", he felt someone tugging on his leg and he looked down to see one of Paytons little girls, he picked her up and she said, "what pwan is wortin"?, he tapped the end of her nose and said, "nothing that you need to worry about sweetheart", the little girl looked at him and said, "me want down".

Payton came back into the room and grinned as his daughter ran out of the room, he said, "where's P"?, Eric smiled and said, "she's upstairs changing her clothes because we are going to go out for dinner and dancing". Payton took a deep breath and said, "getting out and having some fun will be good for her", Eric nodded his head and said, "I agree with you there Payton".

Hotch looked up from the information Kevin had found and said, "we should be in California in a few minutes so when we get there we are all heading to Paytons house". Emily said, "I wonder if Morgan has been able to convince her to listen to him"?, Dave said, "if anybody can he can", JJ said, "I can't believe that you got Strauss to approve this".

Dave grinned and said, "ohhhhhh let's just say that she owed me and we can have as long as we need", JJ smiled as she looked down at her sleeping son and said,
"I'm just glad that we were able to bring the boys with us". Hotch said, "this way we can have a little vacation and after all the cases we've been having lately we all deserve a good long vacation".

Jack looked up from his book and said, "dad does this mean that we will get to play on the beach", he rubbed the top of his sons head and said, "it sure does son". Jack clapped his hands and said, "yayyyyyyyy", Emily grinned and said, "excuse me I need some crackers", Reid reached in the bag that was sitting in the floor and said, "here you go Em".

She smiled and said, "you are something else Spencer Reid", JJ kissed his cheek and said, "he certainly is", Dave said, "I can't help but wonder where Morgan is right now"?, Reid said, "knowing him he's probably at Paytons house trying to convince him to let him talk to Penelope". Hotch looked down at his watch and said, "we should be landing anytime" as he laid his head back against the seat.

Penelope took a deep breath as she started down the stairs, she couldn't believe that she fell for Dereks lies again, she put on a fake smile as she put her hand in Erics. She kissed Payton on the cheek and said, "I'll see you later big brother", he grinned and said, "just have fun P", she looped her arm through Erics and said, "that's the plan Pay, that's the plan" as they headed out the front door.

Derek was sitting in the car watching as Eric and Penelope walked down the stairs and headed toward his car, he said, "I will make you belive me baby girl, you will see that I love you and only you. He took a deep breath and sighed as he watched them pulling away from the house, a few seconds later he felt his cell buzzing.

He took it off his belt and saw "Hotch" flashing on the ID, he said, "hey man, what's going on"?, Hotch said, "we've found out some interesting information since you left". He said, "how interesting is interesting"?, he said, "well let's just put it this way all of your problems are coming from Eric and Amber", Derek said, "tell me something I don't know man".

Reid said, "no Morgan Eric is the one that sent the text message to Amber, somehow he was able to get into your phone and send it automatically", he said, "if he can do that with a text, could he do that with a ringtone"?, Reid said, "definitely, why did something else happen"?, Derek said, "ohhhhhh you have no idea what else she did".

Hotch said, "we're here in California and we should be there in a few minutes", Derek said, "good because after what happened earlier I'm going to need all the help I can get". JJ said, "that bad huh"?, he said, "ohhhhhhhh you have no idea", Dave said, "where's kitten"?, Derek sighed and said, "she's gone out with her boyfriend Eric right now, I just watched them leave".

Emily said, "don't worry Morgan, when we get there we will get everything worked out", he smiled and said, "I'm sitting in a gray SUV up the street from Paytons house, you can't miss me". Hotch said, "we'll see you in a few minutes", and after the call ended he smiled and said, "I've got the proof that I'm innocent now all I need is to get you and your family to listen and believe me" as he laid his head back against the seat as he waited on the rest of the team to arrive.
