A/N: Hello everyone! So I have to say this chapter is my favourite so far! I really hope you love it! Of course I'm hoping for some AMAZING reviews for this one! LOVE LOVE LOVE to all the people reading this story reviewing or not, your the reason I write everyday! Without further ado!

Chapter Eight:

"Dave they've been up there for a while now, shouldn't we go check on them?" Emily asked walking back in to the room with a glass of wine.

"It's been what two hours? Let's give them a bit longer. They have a lot to get out in the open, and you know how stubborn they both are." Dave had been thinking about going up there too, but if there was a chance they hadn't fixed things yet then he wasn't going up there. He'd give them another half hour, or maybe even another hour and then he'd go up there, and check on them.

"Honestly knowing Morgan and Garcia, they've probably already worked it out. I mean Garcia is stubborn, but she can only hold Morgan back for so long. And if Morgan knows she's not telling him something he'd be relentless. He wouldn't just stop pushing about it because she said no. I really think by now they've probably fixed things." Reid said shifting a sleeping J.J. so that he could stretch his legs out.

"Well I don't want probably. I want a definite yes so let's give them a little bit longer. I need to try Fran again anyways." Dave got up and walked to the other room for some privacy. They hadn't had signal earlier, but he really missed his wife.

Back Up Stairs with Our Now Happy Couple:

"Baby Girl as much as I really do not want to stop kissing you I have to or we're going to end up making love on this floor." Derek said breaking their kiss.

"I know I'm sorry Hot Stuff." Penelope leaned her head against his shoulder.

"Don't be sorry Angel I just want the first time I make love to you to be in our bed in our house. Not on a hotel floor in Canada with our family down stairs." He said kissing her forehead. Man telling her no was the hardest thing to do, but he didn't want it to be like this. He wanted it to be special. He wanted to show her how much he loved her, not just how bad he wanted her under him.

"Really?" Penelope looked up at him surprised. He'd mentioned it earlier that he wanted that life with her, but it still was so crazy to her that he'd even thought of it.

"Yes Baby. Why don't we go lay down on the bed so I can really hold you, and we can decide on these plans that I have in mind for our future?" He asked running his hands through her blonde curls. Penelope just nodded and got up from his lap.

"Hot Stuff the lights are back on." Penelope said as she looked around the room.

"Yeah Baby they came back on earlier." Derek said pulling her onto the bed with him.

"So tell me about all of these plans of yours Hot Stuff?" Penelope cuddled up to him, tucking her head under his chin. This was her favourite spot in the world.

"Well Baby it starts with us moving in together. After all this wasted time I don't want to be away from you anymore even just for a night." Derek said while running his fingers through her hair. He loved her girls, he'd dreamed of these beautiful blonde curls, the red was beautiful too, but he loved his baby natural.

"Derek I can't live in your apartment with you. I can't live where you were with Savannah, I know she didn't technically live there, but she was there enough and that's where you were with her. I'm sorry if that seems ridiculous, but I just. I can't." Penelope said shifting so she could see his face.

"I didn't mean for you to move in there with me Angel. I meant we would be moving into our own house. A place you and I pick out to start our lives together in, but until then I would like to stay with you at your place. It shouldn't take that long for us to pick a place, and then we can officially move in together." Derek had already thought of all of this. He didn't want to take her back to the place he'd brought all the previous girls to, no his future wife would get brought home to their place, no bachelor pad, a home, their home.

"Derek picking out a house isn't a fast process."

"It is when I have two houses that are finished, and a third that's damn near finished. Depending on how long this storm lasts it might even be done by the time we get home." He said smiling at her. He knew that one of the houses was perfect for them, when he'd bought it he pictured them living there together. It just screamed them. He didn't want to say anything though. He didn't want to influence her decision when they started looking. He wanted her to pick out her dream house, even if it wasn't one of those three houses, he'd buy her any house he wanted, as long as he got to take her home to it.

"You've thought of everything haven't you Hot Stuff." Penelope said giggling and kissing him gently again.

"Oh Baby that's just the beginning." Derek said giving her his signature Derek Morgan smile.

"So after moving in to my apartment, picking out a house, and moving into the house, what's next?" Penelope was curious just how far he'd planned their future.

"Oh well that's easy, next would be when I ask you to marry me." Derek knew he'd surprised her, but that was honestly the next step in his plan.

"Derek?" Penelope seriously hadn't seen that coming. She thought he'd probably want more time. Hell he could ask her to go down stairs and have the local judge marry her and she wouldn't care, but she didn't think he was ready for that yet.

"Baby I'm going to ask you to marry at the perfect moment. I don't know when that perfect moment is yet, but it's coming." Derek said leaning in and kissing her again. God he could nothing, but kiss those perfect lips for the rest of his life, and he'd die a happy man.

"Just know, when you ask me, I'm going to say yes." Penelope smiled. This all seemed too perfect, she didn't want to blink because she was too afraid it'd all go away. Derek kissed her again, he knew he was so close to losing control, but he just didn't want to stop kissing her.

Let's give them some time, and go visit our team of crime fighters down stairs shall we? I promise you're not missing out on the good stuff that will eventually come.

"Tesorina, I'm sorry that I've once again gotten your voice mail. The signal in this place is ridiculous, but I have some good news. Since we're stuck here because of the storm I locked Penelope, and Derek in the room together to work out their issues. I'm hoping by the time I let them out that we'll be on our way to getting the daughter in law that we want. I love you Tesorina, I can't wait to come home to you." Dave hung up the phone. He looked at the time again, and walked back into the sitting room. He'd give them thirty more minutes and then go get them. He just prayed Reid was right, and by the time he went up there they would have everything worked out.

"So how long do you think until they get married?" Dave heard J.J. ask as he walked back in the room. She looked better now that she'd slept a little bit.

"Married, I'm thinking more like pregnant. Those two have so much built up tension were going to be lucky if PG doesn't leave pregnant." Emily said with a laugh.

"They wouldn't. Not with all of us down here." Reid said with that 'oh please god no' face.

"No. He has more respect for Penelope than that." Dave said taking a seat in the chair again.

"I know he does, but honestly I do think it won't before we have a little niece or nephew to spoil." Emily said with smile. She could picture their kids being so beautiful and smart. The best of both their mom and dad.

"Now that I agree with. I know Fran and I can't wait to have another grandbaby. I think it's time for a little girl. Oh that reminds me, when we get home I'm supposed to take Jack and Henry fishing." Rossi said with a smile. He loved being a grandfather. He loved Jack and Henry more than words, he loved being their Papa, telling them stories, and taking them fishing. It was some of the happiest moments in his life. When he married Fran their little dysfunctional family had been almost complete. Hopefully now Penelope and Derek would be fixing that last piece of the puzzle.

"Awh I know Jack's been asking me when you'd take him fishing again." Emily said with a smile.

"Henry too. He loves it." J.J. loved how often when they were in town Dave took the kids to do things. He was the best grandfather her son could ever have, and J.J. knew how he and Jack adored their Papa.

They continued talking back and forth about fishing trips, camping, past trips and present. They all agreed after this crazy case they needed at least a week off. Rossi was suggesting going to his beach house he'd taken Fran to for their honeymoon. He wanted to take Jack and Henry out on his boat so they could fish in the ocean.

"Rossi don't you think it's time we at least check on them?" Hotch asked. It had been three hours.

"Yeah I guess you're right." He got up and made his way up the stairs.

Upstairs with our rather amorous couple:

Derek had flipped them over and was kissing Penelope deeply, as she ran her nails down his back. God he knew if they didn't stop soon he wasn't going to be able to, but he couldn't get enough of her. He loved this woman more than everything in his life. He slowly started kissing his way towards her neck. She let out a slow moan, which instantly made Derek's already hard erection harder.

"Baby a few more sounds like that and we're going to be putting on a show for them down stairs." Derek said with a breathy voice that made Penelope feel even wetter than she already was. He started lightly biting her neck.

"Well then someone needs to start behaving himself and then sounds like that wouldn't be escaping now would they?" She said capturing his lips before he could respond. Before they could get anymore carried away there was a knock on the door.

"Okay so I'm opening the door, that's no guarantee you're getting out, but I want to make sure you're both still among the living." Rossi said as they heard the key in the lock. They both shifted so that they didn't look like they'd just been acting like hormonal teenagers. Dave opened the door and saw Derek laying on the bed with Penelope tucked in by his side. He got a wide smile on his face. He hoped this meant what he thought it did.

"Well?" Dave said looking at them expectantly. Instead of answering him Derek pulled Penelope in for a scorching kiss which she happily accepted. Dave thanked God.

"Good now you can join us down stairs, or would you rather stay up here?" Dave said winking.

"I think we'll join you down stairs, unless you want to stay up here Angel?" Derek asked and then kissing her on the forehead.

"No we can join them downstairs Hot Stuff, I'm sure they have plenty to ask us." Penelope said sliding off the bed, immediately missing the heat from his body. He got up and wrapped his arm around her waist as they started out of the room. He couldn't help, but need to feel her close even if they were just heading down the stairs.

As they entered the sitting room, Derek's arm still wrapped around Penelope, they got expectant looks from their team, their family.

Penelope turned around and Derek's arms and kissed him boldly. The team cheered and clapped. After a few minutes Dave loudly cleared his throat.

"Sorry." They both mumbled as Derek took a seat on the opposite end of the couch from J.J. and Reid, pulling Penelope into his lap.

"So?" Emily asked smiling at them.

"So what?" Penelope asked innocently.

"Uh no ma'am we've been waiting YEARS for this. You have to tell us what happened." J.J. said with the 'you're so not getting out of this' look on her face.

Back in Quantico at the Rossi House:

Fran listened to the message for a second time, and smiled. Her husband was a brilliant man. She went back to the cookie batter she was mixing. Oh she hoped he was right and when she got home Derek and Penelope had an announcement for her.

"Nana are the cookies ready yet?" Fran turned around to see Jack standing there smiling at her.

"No sir. Nana is about to put them on the cookie sheet and then put them in the oven, and then they'll be ready." She said spooning out the cookie dough.

"Ugh! That'll be forever Nana!" Jack said with a pout.

"Jack I promise it won't be forever, why don't you go finish watching Toy Story with Henry and I'll get these in the oven. Please sweet boy?" Fran smiled he was so impatient just like his mother. She was knocked out of her thoughts by a knock at the door. She quickly wiped her hands on the dish rag and walked towards the door, peeking over her shoulder to check on the boys as they watched the movie.

Without even thinking about it she opened the door.

"Savannah? What are you doing here?"
