Another case, another bad guy off the streets, and more innocent people dead. Penelope leaned back in her chair and took off her glasses as she rubbed her temples attempting to ease the headache that was slowly turning into a migraine. Her team of superheroes had been gone for nearly three weeks, but now they were on their way home to her once again. Her family was coming home and all in one piece. With that thought her tense and knotted muscles gradually began to relax. She closed her eyes with a sigh and couldn't fight the sleep that eventually took over her mind.

Two hours later….

Morgan walked through the bullpen and dropped his bag on top of his desk without stopping as he hurriedly made his way to his baby girl's lair. He had missed her so much. He had missed her smell, her laugh, her soft golden hair, her smooth skin, the way she fit perfectly in his arms and against his chest, he missed everything about her. They had been apart for three weeks and now all he wanted to do was scope her up in his arms and hold onto her for all eternity. He needed to touch her, to have her pressed against his side and feel her warm body against him.

A smile appeared on his face as he got closer to Penelope's office. He rapped softy on the door before walking in and when he saw the scene in front of him his smile grew wider and an adoring look entered his eyes. There was his baby girl, his personal ray of sunshine, sound asleep in her computer chair. Her head was turned to the side, her curls falling around her shoulders, and her chest rising and falling slowly. She was as adorable and beautiful as always and it made his heart soar with love and happiness.

After watching her sleep for moment he walked over to her and knelt down next her. He gently ran the back of his hand over her cheek and as she began to stir he cupped the side of her face lovingly. "Hello my princess." He whispered softly as she slowly opened her eyes and looked at him groggily. He laughed slightly and reached over to get her glasses that were on the desk. He grinned as he slipped the pink and purple frames on her angelic face and ran his hand through her soft curls.

"Hey hot stuff." Penelope said with sleep still in her voice as she smiled at him. "You're home already?" She asked as she sat up in her chair.

Morgan laughed softly and rubbed her thigh as he watched her stretch. "No sweetheart, I'm just a figment of you explicit imagination." He answered with grin. He leaned forward and placed a tender kiss on her lips.

"Mmm, I love my imagination." Penelope purred as he pulled away. She grinned and kissed him passionately. When she pulled back she saw a familiar fire in his eyes and smiled mischievously.

"Come on princess, let's get home." Morgan said as he stood up. He reached out his hand and once she took it he pulled her up from the chair and right into his chest. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders as she hugged his waist. She sighed tiredly and buried her face in his chest.

Morgan rubbed her back and felt the knots in her shoulders. A worried look crossed his face and he held her tighter. "Penelope, how have you been sleeping?" He asked softly with concern evident in his voice.

"Same as I usually do when I don't have you to hold me at night." She mumbled with a shrug. "Better though. I haven't had as many nightmares, but I still miss you."

Morgan kissed her head and held her tight against him. "I miss you too baby girl." He whispered. "I just don't sleep well without you anymore." He nuzzled her neck and inhaled her scent once more before pulling away.

"Let's go home and we can take a nap and get you something for your headache." He said and wrapped an arm around her waist as he led her out of her office.

"How did you know I had a headache….never mind, stupid question." She said with a slight laugh and shake of her head.

Several hours later Derek and Penelope were sprawled out on Derek's couch. Penelope was leaning against Morgan with her head on his shoulder and his arm around her waist. She was sleeping peacefully against him as he held her and ran a hand through her hair. He had been awake for about an hour now and spent that whole time just watching her sleep in his arms enjoying the feel of her body curled against his side.

It was at times like this that he had absolutely no doubts or nervousness about what he was planning on doing. He loved her with his whole heart and soul and every fiber of his being and he wanted nothing more than to spend his life with the angel in his arms.

"What's on her mind handsome?" Penelope asked with sleep in her voice as she shifted slightly.

"You, as usual my goddess." He answered with a smile and rubbed his nose against her head. "How did you sleep?" He asked pulling her closer into his side.

"Like a rock. I haven't slept so peacefully since you've been gone." She answered with a yawn. "My headaches even gone."

"Good. I don't like it when my angel isn't feeling good." He said and gave her a loving kiss. He kissed her neck and made a trail of kisses down to her shoulder. He nipped her collar bone and nuzzled her neck as she giggled then slowly he brought his lips to her ear and kissed her hair before nipping at her ear. He smiled as he heard her moan softly.

"Penelope?" He whispered in her ear.

"Hmm…"

"Marry me?" He asked softly once again nuzzling her hair. He heard her gasp in surprise and he smiled against her hair.

He drew back just enough to look at her face and saw her wide eyes glistening with tears and her mouth open slightly. He wanted so much to capture those luscious lips with his, so in a swift movement he leaned down and nipped her bottom lip before kissing her passionately showing her all the emotions he was feeling at the moment.

"What do say baby girl? Will you stay with me forever?" He asked and caressed her cheek lovingly.

"Yes…oh yes, of course I will handsome." She said happily with a smile and a tear rolling down her cheek.

Morgan grinned and felt his own tears of joy gather, but pushed them back. He knew then that he was the luckiest man alive and the joy he felt seemed to overtake his entire body, heart, and soul. With one arm still around her waist he put his other hand in his pocket and pulled out the dark purple velvet box. He flipped the lid open with one hand and heard Penelope gasp again. He laughed softly at her reaction and took the ring out before laying the box aside. He glanced at her glistening eyes that glowed with love and grinned as he slipped the ring onto her left hand. He brought her hand up to his lips and kissed her palm and then her knuckles before entwining their fingers.

He leaned down and kissed her passionately. Soon the kiss intensified and became more heated as Penelope wrapped her arms around his neck and he slowly and gently laid her back on the couch so he was on top her. He hovered over her and he gazed into her eyes. "I love you Penelope." He said in a deep husky voice and cut off her response as he captured her lips again.

Three years later…

Derek stared down with tears glistening in his eyes and pure love and wonder showing on his face as he gazed down at the little blue bundle in his arms. The little miracle that had been growing in his wife was now lying peacefully in his arms. He was so small, beautiful, and so innocent. Morgan looked up at his wife, the love of his life, with adoration and love etched in his features. He slowly handed the small bundle over to Penelope and watched as she held their newest family member close her body. She was glowing and was so beautiful as she held their son.

Tears ran down her face and he didn't bother to stop the tear that ran down his own cheek at the sight of his baby girl holding their child. He caressed her cheek and used his thumb to wipe away her stray tears. Leaning down, he kissed her tenderly expressing all his love in that gentle touch that still made his blood turn to fire. The women he loved more than anything in his life had given him a baby. He felt so lucky, so thankful, so overwhelmed with pure joy.

"I love you baby girl." He said softly with his emotion showing through his voice as well as his face. Penelope reached up and cupped his face, wiping away the tear that escaped his deep, love filled eyes. He leaned into her touch before kissing her hand.

"I love you too hot stuff." Penelope whispered and leaned forward to brush her lips with his.

Morgan felt the need to be closer to her, so he carefully edged onto to the bed and sat beside her. He wrapped an arm around her shoulders as she rested her head on his shoulder. He pulled her closer to his side as they both gazed down at the little miracle sleeping in his mother's arms.

Derek reached over with his free hand and placed it on the blue bundle to pull the blanket down a bit so he could look at his son's face. "Hello there James Spencer Morgan."

"Derek?" Penelope whispered after a few seconds of silence had passed.

"Yeah, Pen?"

"If this is a dream, do me a favor…don't wake me up." She said softly. They exchanged a love filled glance before smiling back down at the new member of their family.

Well, that's the end. What do think? I hope you liked it! Review Please!!
