(Penelope's point of view)

I'm still in shock. I honestly can't believe what has happened. The BAU brought the team into my life. Where would I be without JJ, Emily, Hotch, Reid, Rossi, Ashley or the other team member that have gone? The BAU brought me to Derek Morgan. He's Hot Stuff, my best friend, and now my husband and father of my kids. I wouldn't be Derek's Baby Girl without the BAU.

Derek and I were both relieved when the orthopedic surgeon said Derek's knee would be fine. He gave him some meds and was ordered to take a few weeks off work. Derek actually didn't mind being off too much. He spent the time off with Drew, Danica, and Page.

"Morning Baby Girl back to work for me." Derek said. "There's a new case too Hot Stuff." I responded. "Where and what?" Derek asked. "Arizona a tech monster has been tricking women and taking their children." I answered. "I guess you'll be coming with us?" Derek asked. "Yeah I called Mom she's coming to take care of the kids." I answered.

I briefed the team and then we all hurried to the jet. Two of the children that had been taken bodies had turned up. Two more were still missing. Once we were in the air I started going through the e-mails and chats the men had with the mother's. Suddenly my work e-mailed chimed. I was shocked to see the Unsubs e-mail.

I was shocked he knew personal info about the team. He threatened my children. I was pissed and very scared. Derek started freaking out. Hotch didn't play around he put protective detail on all the kids. I guess after Haley he would always be more careful.

"Hot Stuff I found him." I said as I called Derek who was out in the field. "Where is he Baby Girl?" Derek asked. "A café' I sent the addy's to your PDA's." I answered. "Call you soon." Derek said then he quickly hung up.

I tried to wait as patiently as possible. JJ finally called me. She said they had the Unsub and they were on their way back to the hospital to have him checked out. She didn't have to tell me I knew Derek had gone after him. There are few things in this world that set Derek Morgan off but, his family was the number one.

"Hi." Derek said softly as he came in. "Derek." I whispered. "I'm sorry." Derek said. "Don't tell me that tell Hotch." I said knowing the team and Hotch would once again be in trouble. "I did." Derek said. "Wheels up in 20." Hotch said from behind us.

"We're leaving?" I questioned surprised. "Yes Strauss wants the team in her office now." Hotch said. "I did this Hotch let me talk to her." Derek said. "There's no talking to her this time. And she isn't the only one who wants our heads on a platter. Dave isn't going to be able to help us this time." Hotch said.

The flight home was very quite. Derek had only looked guiltier after I was shot. Hotch looked defeated. Even Reid had nothing to say. I wasn't sure what was about to happen but, it wouldn't be good.

"Agent Hotchner please bring your team to my office now." Strauss yelled as soon as she saw us. "We'll be right there." Hotch said. "Should I come too?" I asked. "No." Hotch simply replied. "See you later." I said to them all.

Close to an hour later the team appeared. I could tell from their looks it was bad. No said anything though. Then I saw Ashley start crying. I pulled her into a hug. How bad had it gone?

"Penelope you will be working with Sam's team for now." Hotch said. "They suspend the whole team?" I asked. "No Penelope." Hotch answered. "Derek?" I questioned. "They said we are too troubled. They offered us all other jobs." Derek answered. "You're leaving you're all leaving." I whispered in shock as the each nodded.

I didn't want to stay with the team gone. I didn't have a choice though. I waited to see about the new team when I was called into Strauss' office. I held my head high and went in. All I could hope is that they wouldn't transfer me out of state or send me to prison.

"Penelope please seat." Strauss said. "Yes ma'am." I replied seating. "You are a great anyalast one of the best ever. We value your employeement but you are a liablity with the new team we are bringing in." Strauss said. "Please don't." I said starting to cry. "Don't what?" She asked confused. "I have three children and a husband." I answered.

"Penelope we are releasing you from your duties. There will be a close eye kept on you. You are free though." She said. "Are you serious?" I asked. "Yes Penelope I wish you luck." She said sticking her hand out. "Thank you, thank you." I said jumping up and hugging her.

I hurried home to Derek. He said he had never seen someone so happy about being fired. I wasn't happy to not have a job. I was happy that I wouldn't have to be in that place without my family there to support me.

The team all had trouble moving on at first. Rossi or Dave as I call him now was the first to make a move. He started writing a new book. He also was trying to work with each member of the team on what they wanted to do now.

Derek was actaully second he had decided to flip houses more and also he and Emily opened a P.I. business. Quickly after that Reid, Ashely, and I were recuited to help out. JJ had actaually got a job at the D.A.'s office doing PR and profiling. Hotch had also started at the D.A.'s office.

We all still missed the BAU and seeing eachother everyday. We started doing weekly dinners. Even with Derek having two jobs he was still home every night. It was pretty amazing. The whole team was moving forward.

Dave and JJ have enjoyed having Henry and Ali. After Will was killed Dave become even more important to Henry. Dave started really taking care of himself. When he was asked why he said he planned to walk Ali down the aisle.

Hotch and Emily have raised two strong boys Jack and Joey. They also ended up having a baby girl named Janey. Hotch and finally learned how to balance his career and his family. He had always been his biggest concern.

Reid and Ashely have beautiful little Amanda. He is truly her father's daughter. Then they had twin sons Adam and Allen. Funny enough Reid's sons both love sports. Derek has helped Reid out a lot with that.

As for Derek and I we have had the most amazing rode of all. Drew has followed in Derek's footsteps and is a football player. Page is also sporty. She plays soccer. Dainka is our little tech girl. She had already started learning to hack. I have to watch her so closely.

When the girls turned five Derek and I got another surprise. I was pregnant again. After a good pregnanacy I gave birth to another boy. Aaron David-Spencer Morgan completed our family. I have to admit I couldn't ask for more. And it all started with a baby boom…

The End
