Peace At Last:

The team was returning on the jet from the case and everyone could sense the air of relief that this case was done and over with. Emily and Spence were over by the front of the plane playing chess and laughing, finally getting a chance to say the things to each other that they were afraid to say before. Morgan couldn't be happier for the two of them. He hoped Spencer realized how special Emily was and didn't let his insecurities ruin this relationship. It's funny how this case not only brought him and JJ together but also Emily and Spencer. He hoped that they could all last and that these past events will only bring them closer. Derek looked over to see Pen and her beau giggling together and Derek was glad that Pen and her man Kevin could find the light in this situation and he hoped that everyone else could as well.

He glanced over to see Rossi, Gideon, and Hotch huddled together discussing the final paperwork for the case. Derek shook his head; those three were as thick as thieves. He was glad though that he had them as the leaders of this team. If they had to go through this again, he would be secure in knowing that Hotch, Gideon, and Rossi were running the show. Derek looked down to the sleeping JJ. Her head rested in the crook of his neck as he held her in his lap. After Derek took the gun from JJ she broke down into tears and he almost had to carry her out of the police precinct. It was over and he knew that her tears were a mixture of relief and anger at the unsubs that put them through this ordeal.

Morgan reached up and brushed the hair back from JJ's face and leaned down to kiss the crown of her head. He loved her so much and he was so glad that she was okay. He didn't know what he would do if anything were to happen to her. Morgan memorized everything about JJ and he was s grateful that she was now in his life. She was everything to him and he couldn't believe that they were now at this point in their relationship. Morgan sighed, this case took so much away from them but it also gave them a lot.

Morgan wished he could've done more to protect JJ but what happened happened and they had to move on, he just hoped that JJ wanted to continue moving on with him. The more he thought about it, the more he liked being married to JJ, she was strong, caring, compassionate and he could tell she would be an amazing mother. JJ has shown in previous cases that she is amazing with kids and Derek can already envision starting a family with her. He jumped when he felt her shift and raise her head. He stared into her sleepy eyes and smiled gently to her before leaning down and capturing her lips in a sweet kiss. She smiled back at him before whispering, "Are you okay?"

Derek nodded before replying, "I'm good. I'm just glad that this over and we're finally heading home. I just want to be back home in bed… with you by my side." Derek paused hoping that she would understand that he wanted to be with her even after all they just went through. He didn't want to be alone; he needed her to be with him because he could've lost her.

"Derek, babe, I'm not letting you out of my sight. All I've wanted since we decided to make this official is to go home and curl up in bed with you. I'm in this for the long haul. It's funny because we got married about a week ago and we didn't even go on a date, but I know without a doubt that you are the man that I should be spending my life with and that feeling hasn't change and it never will. You're strong and you're caring and I can already see so many possibilities for us that to stop now, to take back what happened would be a mistake. I love you Derek and I like where I am." She ended that with a smile and then she kissed him, making him feel everything that she was feeling through her lips. Derek pulled back out of breath and he grinned crookedly.

"Thanks JJ, I needed to hear that. I know that we have talked about it before, but I needed to be sure. You have become everything to me and I don't know when it happened but now you inhabit all my thoughts and my heart is yours completely. It hurt me to see you standing there with your gun over the unsub knowing that he could've hurt you. I feel like I failed you in some way, like I should've been out there to protect you and I wasn't." Derek looked down from JJ's face as he felt guilt and shame overcome him.

"Derek…" JJ reached up and turned his face back to her, "That wasn't your fault. What happened was out of your control. You were in the interrogation room with the person everyone believed to be the killer and yea I wished you could've been there with me, it didn't work out that way. Everyone is okay though, I'm here and so is everyone else. Our family is safe. We could've lost so much, but we got so much from this case instead. Baby, I want you focus on the positives and the fact that because of everything that happened we're together now. I don't regret this and I don't want you to either." Derek looked into her eyes and saw the truth in them. She was not mad at him and she did not blame him either. Derek knew that JJ could be strong but he did not realize that she was that strong. He leaned down and kissed her again. He pulled back in a rush when he felt the flash of a camera.

Derek turned away from JJ to see Garcia standing in front of them with a camera. "Garcia, what are you doing?" Derek looked at her with confusion on his face.

"What do you mean, "what are you doing"? I'm taking a picture of my favorite lovebirds kissing. I mean you two are so cute. Oh my god I can't wait to put this next to the picture I have of you two sleeping together. I'm so excited that the two of you are staying together. You're babies are going to be beautiful. My sexy dark knight and my golden angel; Oh my god, to think, you two are going to have perfect offspring. I can't wait to spoil them and then show them the cyber world, and then squeeze their cheeks and… Em let go of me!" Garcia tried to pull herself free from Emily who came over and pulled her back to Kevin who had a look of pure confusion on his face.

"Derek, JJ carry on with whatever you two were talking about. I'll take care of Pen." Emily said exasperated because Pen was putting up a good fight to keep taking pictures of JJ and Derek together. Derek turned to face JJ who had a grin on her face. He could only shake his head in amazement at some of the things that Garcia would do. Before long the two started laughing and the rest of the team soon followed suit with Pen sitting with a huff next to her hubby. The flight carried on with laughter and jokes, most of them teasing Spence about his new relationship with Em.

It wasn't long before the jet landed and the team went their separate ways, ready to sleep away the week's events and hopefully sleep away the events of the past week. JJ and Morgan headed back to his place and then ordered food. They were glad that they were finally alone, no cameras, no police cars outside, just them alone. JJ went straight upstairs to his room to grab a shirt and pair of his shorts while Derek took care of the food. She liked it; she liked her and Derek being so comfortable with each other. She didn't even need to ask him about going to his room and taking some of his clothes, the familiarity that they shared had taken their relationship to a higher level. She took her time looking through his room. It was very clean surprisingly and he had pretty much everything organized; his cologne, ties, socks, shoes. She started wondering when they were going to start discussing the living situation because she did not think she could spend another night without Derek by her side.

"Hey, the food is here. You okay?" JJ turned and smiled at Derek, who was standing in the doorway waiting for her. She nodded at him before walking to him and kissing him gently before heading back to his kitchen. She scratched Clooney's head before seating herself at the table to wait for Derek to serve the food. She grinned at him before they dug in, having few words in between bites. After dinner they headed into the living room and curled up together in front of the tv.

"Hey, I was wondering," She paused, nervous about what she was going to say next "I was wondering about whether you and I should move in together?" She left it at that, afraid about what he might say. She had her back to him and she was actually happy she was sitting that way because she was not sure she could handle seeing his face with something like this being discussed between them.

She got nervous when she felt him sigh, signaling he was ready to speak. "I was thinking about that and I think that since we're married we should be living together. You're more than welcome to stay here, or if you want me to move in with you I'm cool. Or…"

JJ got nervous but the excitement was there because he already pretty much said that they should be living together, "Or?"

Derek grinned when JJ turned to face him with excitement in her eyes, "Or we could go house shopping. Get a new place for our new beginning. Maybe a place with rooms so we would have space for if or when we decide to have kids." He looked into her eyes and he smiled when her face broke out in a huge grin and she kissed him hungrily.

She pulled back to say, "I think the last option is the one to go by because I most definitely see kids down the line for us. Plus I think house shopping with you will be fun and I like the idea of getting a new house to symbolize our new relationship and beginning. I do believe that I am the luckiest person in the world Mr. Morgan."

"No way Mrs. Morgan, I am most definitely the luckiest person in the world. I love you JJ, so much Angel and I am falling more in love with you with every passing day." JJ smiled again before kissing him.

She rose from the couch and turned of the tv before taking his hand and saying, "Why don't you show me how much you love?"

Derek grinned before he rose and picked up JJ and carried her back to his bedroom to do exactly what she asked. Clooney only looked up to watch them go to his master's room before laying his head back down to nap.

a/n: Well there is the conclusion guys, hope you guys liked it. Based on how this ended I think I will do a sequel that will focus on the team more than a case that they're doing. I want to do more with Em and Spence, Morgan and JJ, and do something with Hotch as well. Thanks for all the support and sticking with this story till the end. You guys are the best.
