Chapter Twelve:
The next morning came all too soon for Derek and Penelope, their alarm started blaring at seven a.m. sharp. Penelope slowly opened her eyes, looking at the sight of the sleeping chocolate god next to her, she was honestly starting to think last night was a dream. I really really good dream. She rolled on to her side so she had better access to him and started kissing his jaw line. Derek groaned starting to wake up.
"Good morning Baby Girl." Derek said leaning down and kissing her.
"I'll show you a good morning Hot Stuff." Penelope said wrapping her arms around his next and pulling him in for another kiss.
"Damn I'm going to love waking up like this every morning." Derek said pulling her into his arms.
"Me too Handsome. What time does Bossman want us in the office?" Penelope said laying her head on his chest listening to his heart beat.
"Nine. You know if we get up now, we'll have time to maybe have some fun in the shower before we head into the office?" Derek said leaning down to kiss her neck.
"Are you sure we'll have enough time?" Penelope said sitting up on his lap, and rocking her hips suggestively.
"Or we can have fun here and clean up afterwards." Derek said lifting Penelope up enough to pull the blanket out from under her and positioned himself at her entrance, lowering her onto him. Penelope moaned feeling him fill her up. Penelope started slowing rocking her hips, a little sore from their night of fun. Derek leaned forward taking one of her nipples into his mouth. Penelope started moving faster, Derek bucking under her, keeping up with her pace. Derek feeling his release fast approaching, flipped them over, and took over. He started pounding into her, Penelope was biting his shoulder, just enjoying him being in control. They both moaned each other's names upon release.
"I think every morning should start this way." Derek said laying down beside her.
"I second that. Come on we've got to get cleaned up Hot Stuff." Penelope said getting up from the bed and making her way into the bathroom putting an extra sway in her hips as she went.
"Damn Goddess, that ass, how I love that ass." Derek got up from the bed following closely behind her.
After a not so quick shower, and the most interesting attempt at getting dressed that Penelope had ever had they made it out the door, into the SUV, and on the road, miraculously on time. The ride to work consisted of listening to the radio, giggling, talking about nothing, and just enjoying each other's company. Both would agree this was the best morning they'd had in a very long time. Pulling up beside Esther, and parking Derek hopped out, made his around the SUV and helped Penelope out of the vehicle.
"Thank you my Noir Knight." Penelope said hopping out of the SUV.
"You're very welcome my Princess." Derek said wrapping his arm around her waist.
They were the last ones in the bull pen that morning, Derek walked her to her office, kissing her before making his way to his. Penelope had just fired up her babies and sat down before there was a knock on the door.
"Enter mere mortals!" Penelope said over her shoulders. J.J. and Emily came walking in with big smiles.
"So?" J.J. and Emily said at the same time.
"Yes?" Penelope said trying to play coy, she completely failed a big smile forming on her face.
"Come on Garcie!" J.J. said sitting on the couch in her office.
"Spill PG!" Emily said sitting next to J.J., closer to Penelope.
"There are no words. It was better than I could have ever imagined." Penelope said with a happy sigh. She leaned her head back and just smiled, unfortunately that revealed the two hickeys on the side of her neck.
"Damn PG!" Emily said laughing.
"What?" Penelope asked confused.
"I didn't know Derek belonged to the vampire club." J.J. said trying to conceal a laugh.
"Oh! Um. So anyways. We're going to look at houses after were done with the paperwork. Derek has three ready for us to pick from." Penelope said trying to change the subject. After a bit more girl talk J.J. and Emily went back to the bull pen to finish their paperwork. Penelope finished logging all of the files from the case she needed to, and shut down her babies. Pulling out her laptop, and sitting on the couch in her office she started looking at the files on the houses Derek and she were going to look at this afternoon. They were all spacious, beautiful, and in great neighborhoods. All of the houses had their appliances updated, and the walls and floors redone. They were all perfect, she didn't know how they were going pick one. Getting frustrated she closed her laptop.
"What's wrong Angel?" Derek said walking into her office. Penelope jumped.
"I was looking at the houses, I just don't know how to decide which one is for us." Penelope said putting her laptop in her bag.
"We'll know, I think when we see it we'll just know it's the one for us." Derek said sitting down on the couch next to her.
"You're right Hot Stuff." Penelope said leaning her head on his shoulder. "How's the paperwork coming?"
"Were all done, we're just waiting to see how long Strauss is going to give us off. You want to head down to the bull pen? The team wants to have lunch together with Mama and the boys, and then you and I can go look at the houses, sound good?" Derek asked, standing up and holding out his plan.
"Sounds like a plan my Chocolate Drop." Penelope said grabbing his hand and standing up with him.
Everyone was sitting in the bull pen just enjoying have time to be family, not coworkers. Penelope, J.J., Emily and Reid were talking about proper way to pack and move. Derek, Hotch and Rossi were discussing the hopeful trip to Rossi's home in Hawaii, the next time they got more than a few days off. Finally Hotch's phone went off with the call they were all expecting.
"Yes ma'am."
"Okay, I understand."
"Thank you." Hotch ended the call. "Okay we have a week off to enjoy ourselves the best we can, while on standby. It's official for us to be able to get a real vacation were going to have to either catch a terrible case or I'm going to have schedule us all to be off at the same time again." Hotch said as everyone started making their way into the elevator.
"Or you could just let Kitten dig into Strauss' past with a little help from me and we could probably get a few weeks off." Rossi said gesturing between himself and Penelope.
"I like that idea!" Penelope said laughing.
"Oh no Momma, I already told you no digging into superiors' pasts for blackmail material, I don't want to be visiting you behind glass." Derek said pulling her into his arms kissing her forehead.
"Fine." Penelope said with mock annoyance.
"No we'll handle this the proper way, if we don't catch a major case with in the next two weeks I'll put in for us some time off. I'll have to explain to Strauss that it'll have to be a real vacation, off call." Hotch said as everyone got off the elevator and made their way to their vehicles.
After a great lunch with the family Derek and Penelope made their way to the first house.
It was a beautiful two story red brick house, with gray shutters. It had four bedrooms, a spacious living room, and an okay sized kitchen with a breakfast nook. It was cute, but neither Penelope nor Derek really fell in love with the house.
The second house was almost like a farm house, it had five bedrooms, an office, a large kitchen, a beautiful dining room, and a pretty good sized back yard. It was nice, but once again neither of them were really feeling it. Penelope was getting discouraged, but Derek was still holding hope that the last house was the one.
They arrived at the third house, and Penelope was instantly enamored. It was a large almost Victorian style home. It was a gray blue color with a wraparound porch, it had six bedrooms, and the attic converted into a room as well. The kitchen was huge and beautiful, it had an island with a bar, a breakfast nook and dining room. Penelope was so excited, she could see her and Derek living here, raising a family, having family dinners, and celebrating holidays.
Derek was watching her face as they toured the down stairs, and with each room they walked through her face lit up, he could see how excited she was getting. He knew this was their house.
He was walking upstairs with her as she took everything in. He'd seen the house before, but seeing it now, with Penelope, it was like he was seeing their future. They walked through the bedrooms, looking at each one. He remembered how the master bedroom had incredible view so he walked her over to the big bay window to look outside. He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"So is this our house Angel?" Derek asked kissing her neck.
"No." Penelope said turning in his arms. "This is our home." Derek smiled and leaned down and kissed her.
"Really Angel?" Derek said breaking the kiss.
"Really Handsome." Penelope with a wide smile.
As the week progressed the team got Derek moved out of his apartment, Penelope moved out of her apartment, and the two of them and Clooney moved into their new home. As they unpacked and set up the house, and some newer furniture was delivered (a new bed mainly), the kids and Clooney enjoyed the backyard. Derek Hotch and Rossi had even set up a play set outside for the kids. Finally after four days of moving, and setting up the team celebrated the new house with a family barbecue.
Everyone was having a great time, the men were gathered around the barbecue pit, and the girls with the kids pushing the on the swings and talking.
"So does she know when we went and picked up the bed you bought a ring?" Reid asked.
"Nope, but she will soon." Derek said smiling.
"You're going to ask soon?" Rossi said taking a drink of his wine.
"Yeah I'm thinking maybe tonight. I don't really know, I just know I want to soon." Derek said flipping one of the burgers.
"It'll hit you, you'll know when. I carried Emily's engagement ring with me everywhere, and then finally it just hit me when we were sitting on the patio talking. I just knew." Hotch said looking over at his wife.
"I had everything planned to ask Bella on New Year's Eve night remember, and then on Christmas morning I just knew I wanted to ask her then with you all there." Rossi said smiling at the memory.
"I was actually just thinking that I wanted to ask Jayje to marry me and did. I didn't have the ring or anything. It just was a thought, and so I did, I've never been one for spontaneity, but I'm glad I did now. Plus then Jayje got to pick out her own ring and I didn't have to try to." Reid said looking over to see J.J. climbing onto the slide with Henry in her lap.
"Well I have the ring on me, I guess now all I have to do is wait for the moment." Derek said pulling the burgers off the grill and onto a plate. Derek looked up to see Penelope going down the slide with Jack in her lap and smiled. He knew it was going to be soon, and he knew when he asked her he was going to be the happiest man in this world.
