Bittersweet Vengeance-Ch 36

By the time that Derek and Penelope arrived the meat was on the grill, the kids were running around the backyard playing with Clooney and Mudgie, the men were with Dave at the grill while the women were with Fran on the patio.

Derek kissed his wife and said, "you look so sexy today", she said, "flattery will get you everywhere Mr. Morgan". he winked and said, "good to know, good to know", he playfully swatted her butt before walking over to join the other men, while his baby girl joined the other women.

Fran said, "you look like you're doing better today", she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "it's been an amazinggggmorning", JJ looked at Emily and both girls said, "spill it", in unison, Penelope said, "Derek and I spent the morning together", JJ said, "as in together together?", she nodded her head and said, "yepppppp", the girls all smiled and Fran said, "that's wonderful honey".

Desi said, "you are practically glowing Penelope", Sarah said, "and that outfit is so cute on you", JJ said, "so how is my neiceor nephew?", Penelope said, "kicking up a storm" as she rubbed her baby bump", Emily put her hand on her friends stomach and said, "it's so good to have you back, like really have you back".

Penelope said, "it's good to be back", JJ said, "when you were with Sam you were here with us but not hereeee with us", Penelope said, 'I know and I'm so sorry about that", Fran said, "sweetie you have nothing to be sorry about, you were drugged, you didn't do anything on your own free will".

Penelope glanced over her shoulder and saw Derek laughing at something Reid had said, he then looked at her and smiled, she felt her heart race, he was so sexy and after the morning they'd had together she couldn't wait for more", she was pulled out of her thoughts when Sarah said, "sooo have you given any thoughts to your baby shower?", Penelope said, "baby shower, honestly no but Derek and I have been talking about the nursery".

Fran said, "I hope that you don't mind that we are all planning on throwing you a baby shower?", Penelope smiled and said, "not at all",JJ said, "and trust us when we say that you will need everything that you will get at your shower and then some", the women all nodded their heads yes in agreement.

The men were talking about the nursery, Derek was going into great detail on the things he wanted to have in it", Dave said, "that won't be any problem son, we'll all help", Derek said, "thank you, I really appreciate the help", Hotch said, "the women are probably talking about a baby shower for Garcia", Derek smiled and said, "I've never been happier".

Reid said, "and it shows", Derek said, "I've got a great job with an amazing family, I'm married to the most beautiful woman in the world and in a few months we're going to welcome our first child, the only thing that we've got to worry about is the trials of Sam and Savannah".

Hotch said, "I'll get in touch with the detectives and see how things are going", Dave said, "when do you think they'll have to testify?", Hotch said, "I'm not sure but I'll try to arrange anything that they need and as soon as possible and then I'll let you know", Derek nodded his head yes.

Dave smiled and said, "well gentlemen the meat is ready", Derek said, "alright lets eatttttt" as they went walking back across the yard to join the women, Reid said, "boys let's go, its time to eat", the boys said, "okayyyyyyyyy" and came running with Clooney and Mudgie right behind them.

As they sat down at the picnic tables Penelope couldn't help but smile she was with her family again, they were all happy, it was a beautiful day and she planned on enjoying as much of it as possible", Derek leaned in and kissed her cheek and said, "I love you", she said, "and I love you".

They spent the rest of the evening together laughing, talking, eating and watching the children play and by the time Derek and Penelope had gotten home they had sex in the shower again before turning in for the night and as they laid wrapped in each others arms they sighed happily, closed their eyes and soon fell sleep.
