Epilogue

Eight Months Later

"Come on, Baby Girl, We're gonna be late for the game." Morgan was pacing the living room waiting for his fiancee to come out of their bedroom. It was the first baseball game of the season and Derek wanted to get there early to talk to John about the stats of the other team.

Penelope made her way out of their room with a huge smile on her face.

"Why you all smiles, Sweet Thing?" Derek asked as he walked over to her giving her a kiss.

"Nothing, Handsome. Let's head out to the game, Tom and Em are already there." She grabbed her bag and headed to his truck.

Derek watched his fiancee, something wasn't right. He could feel it, so he ran up to her grabbing her arm spinning her around. He captured her lips in a desperate toe curling kiss. When he pulled away she slumped against his chest. "Baby Boy, what was that for?"

He gave her a huge smile. "I know you're keeping something from me and I know how to get it out of you."

She winked at him and continued to the truck. Once inside he turned to her again, "So is everything okay?"

"Oh sug, everything is fine. Do you think John will have Jenna with him? They seem inseparable now."

He looked over at Penelope as they made their way to the field. "I'm sure she'll be there. I think he is gonna ask her to marry him." Derek said matter of factly.

"Is that so hun, do you have some insider knowledge?"

He gave her a saucy smile. "Maybe."

When they got to the field Emily, Tom, John, and Jenna were standing by the bleachers talking. So Penelope and Derek made their way up to the group hand in hand. "Hey guys!" Penelope said giving out hugs.

The men made their way over to the dugout to talk about the upcoming game. They really wanted their first game to blow the whole season out of the park. They were leisurely discussing stats when they heard Emily scream from the bleachers. "OH MY GOD!" All the men took off running towards the group. As they made their way there they could see Penelope swatting Emily in the arm, who was now slumped over Reid laughing.

"Sweetheart, are you okay?"Tom said running up to Emily.

Penelope Jumped up. "She's fine. Reid was just telling us something gross. Let's leave it at that."

The men turned to look at Reid who's cheeks were red as a rose now. "What did you say kid?" Derek asked looking Reid up and down.

Reid thinking fast started spouting out facts about hygiene and baseball games. He was talking a mile a minute hoping someone would tell him to shut up.

"Reid, knock it off." John said shaking his head. "Jenna, you don't have to sit with him if you don't want." He laughed a little.

Jenna smiled back at John, "I love little Reid here, I'll always sit next to him." She ruffled his hair.

Derek looked at everyone sitting there. He could tell they were lying but he was't going to push, he had a game to win. But mark his words as soon as he got Penelope alone later he was going to get some answers, even if he had to bring out the cuffs again.

They ended up winning the game by one point so now everyone was heading to the bar to celebrate. Halfway through the night Derek noticed his fiancee was missing. He scanned the room and still couldn't find her. He thought for a moment before he figured out where she must have gotten to.

He made his way out to the park across the street, there she was sitting no the is where it all started eight months ago. He had stepped down from unit chief and found about about her and John and their stupid point game. Speaking of point games, Derek and Pen had resurrected it with a twist. One night not long after she agreed to move in with him they sat on the couch and outlined the whole game. There were now points for different acts they would preform on each other, there were disqualifications and even punishments. At the end of the month whomever had the most points got to decided how they wanted to cash them in. They had a whole list of rewards from toys, to weekend getaways where the other person had to do whatever the winner wanted. Some how Derek always seemed to win. Last month he made her wear a remote control vibrator all day at work. Whenever he thought of it, he would press the button. He only stopped when he heard the scream come from her office. He held back his laugh as Hotch ran to make sure she was okay. Derek almost lost it when she tried to explain she thought she saw a mouse. However, this month she was in the lead and he knew he was going to get his payback.

"Sweetheart, what are you doing out here?" He gave her a kiss on the forehead and sat down next to her.

"Can you believe it all started right here?" She said still not looking at him.

"It's crazy to think how far everything has come."

"I was so hot for you that night, I couldn't think of anything else other than removing your pants." she said with a laugh.

"Hey I was right there with you. I never wanted anything more, right there at that moment."

They sat in silence for a couple of minutes reliving the past eight months.

"I'm glad John has someone. Jenna fits into our group really well, she even has a sister that has a little crush on our Boy Wonder."

"How do you know she has a crush on him, Sweetness?"

"She told me when we went out shopping last weekend." She turned to Derek. The spark that brought them together that night was still there, she leaned in to capture his lips. He couldn't deny the way he felt around her, he pulled her onto his lap much like he did that first night. When she pushed against his chest trying to move away he pulled back to look at her.

"Baby Girl?"

"Derek, we need to talk." He stiffened under her a little.

"Okay, talk."

"This morning I was taking a while getting ready wasn't I?" He looked at her confused, but nodded his head for her to go on.

"Well yesterday I was cleaning the bathroom and I came across some products I hadn't used in a couple of months." She was hoping he would understand but he just cocked his head to the side with confusion.

"Anyway, I decided I needed to get us an answer so I went to the drug store last night..."

"Wait a minute! Are you telling me what I think you're telling me?" Derek looked into her eyes trying to get some answers.

"I don't know, Daddy. "

"Oh God, Penelope!" He kissed her hard trying to portray his feelings at that moment. "I love you so much, Baby Girl." He pushed up her skirt just like that first night.

"I love you too, Hot Stuff."

When they were finished she rested her head on his holding him tight. "Hold up, Momma. Is that why Prentiss screamed at the game?" He looked up at her and smiled.

"You are such a good profiler. Yes, she looked at me weird when I said I couldn't drink the beer she handed me."

He gave her a tight hug. "I'm so happy, Baby Girl. I know we didn't go about this the best way when it started but I have never been more happy in my life."

"It's always been you, Derek. No matter how we got here, we still got here. I love you, Baby Boy."

"I love you too, Baby Girl."

The End.
