26A/N: I am such scatter-brain sometimes. This was supposed to be my authors note for chapter one and I forgot to attach the right version of it. I am sorry, so I am adding it now. LOL! This was supposed to be a One-Shot tag, but, alas it turned out to be two long chapters. This is my take on how my fav, Derek Morgan's return should have ended. This is dedicated to Shemar, Kirsten and all the Morcia fans out there who feel gypped. LOL!
Sorry for such a long time between stories. I also have been working on another story, which I hope will be completed and posted soon. This is my first story without my favorite beta ddgorgeous. I wanted to try it alone, because I am planning to try my hand at editing. It will hopefully be part of my next step when I retire. Forgive any mistakes, they are all my own. Thank you, to all my readers you all make me smile. You are all wonderful! I am thrilled you are all enjoying this story. Well, on with the show and I hope you enjoy it!
She couldn't believe her ears, not only was he leaving Savannah, but wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. She was momentarily left speechless and breathless.
Inwardly, she was jumping for joy, but she needed to make sure that this was real and happening. He sat there holding his breath and waited to see if she would give him the chance he so desperately wanted and needed.
"Pen, you all right?"
She finally found her voice. "Ummm, I'm not sure! I am truly so sorry that she hurt you and put you through all that. Why didn't you get in touch and tell me that you were facing all that alone? She had a lot of balls to do that to you, how horrible! I swear if I ever get my hands on her I will kill her and wipe her off the grid forever."
He smiled and shook his head. "Easy Mama Bear, I took care of her! The truth is that I didn't want to involve you in my drama. Yes, I needed and wanted to tell you, but I didn't want to give her a reason to go after you more than she already had. As far as I am concerned, you and Hank are my life and there was no-way that I wanted either of you hurt in anyway, possible. Ya feel me, woman?"
They both chuckled and she leaned over and brushed her lips across his. "I feel ya, my Chocolate Drop! I still wish you would have clued me in, I am always here you. So, what are your plans now?"
He grinned as he stared at his lady love and wiggled his eyebrows. "Wellllll Princess, my plans are to fly back later today and pack up mine and Hank's things and ship them up here to our new house. I am moving into my newest property that I picked out with both of us in mind. I found this gorgeous home that screams you and I think will be our dream house. I want to woo you, marry you and have lots and lots of mini-Baby Girls and mini-Hot Stuffs! I want us to all be a family! You never did answer my question, you know. So, I will ask it again. Will you have me, Gorgeous?"
She hoped she wasn't dreaming. Did her ears deceive her? Are her dreams finally coming true? Does her sexy best friend, her Chocolate God want to marry her?
He nervously bounced his leg and began to sweat. Did he push her too much too fast? "Don't leave your Hot Stuff hanging here, beautiful!"
She took a big intake of air and gulped. "You, b-b-bought us a house and want to ma, mar marry me? Really? I must be dreaming."
He let go of her hands and abruptly stood up. He reached for her hand and helped her to stand up. He encircled her waist with both his arms and pulled her to him and planted a very passionate and loving kiss on her beautiful lips. He begged for permission with his tongue, he needed and wanted entry into her sweet and hot mouth. She parted her lips and he pushed his tongue deep inside and they fought for control as she threw her arms around his neck. She fell under his spell and she never felt anything like this with anyone else in her life. She knew that she was right where she wanted to be and never wanted it to end. They pulled apart gasping and were both entranced with each other.
He gazed into her mesmerizing blue eyes. "Does that feel like a dream, Baby? Cause if it does then we both are dreaming? And, to answer your questions honestly. Yes, I bought you our dream house! Yes, I want plenty of babies with you, I want us to raise Hank together and I hope someday soon that you will want to adopt him, as well! And, most importantly, I want to marry you as soon as my divorce goes through! The best thing that came out of my relationship with Savannah was my little man! So, for the last time. Will you have me, Goddess?"
Penelope grinned and the happiness totally exuded from her. "Yes, yes, a thousand times, yessss! I will have you and all the beautiful little babies you want, I swear! I want everything with you!"
He suddenly picked her up and swung her around. He was in heaven he now had everything he could ever want. "You have made me the happiest man in the world! My life is now complete and perfect. I love you sooooo much, woman! You will never ever regret it. You are the best thing that has ever happened to me and I will show you every day for the rest of our lives how much you are loved and wanted. You are the most beautiful and sexiest woman I have ever known. You complete me and you are finally mine, all mine!"
She squealed with total happiness as he twirled her around in his arms. "Silly man, I have always been yours! I was just waiting for you to claim me! I love you now and always and I will never let you go! You, Hank and any others that come along are and will be my life. Only one big hiccup, though! Savannah will never let me adopt her son, that's a guarantee."
He gently placed the love of his life and solace down onto her feet and stared into her gorgeous face. "Mama, that is not going to be a problem. I spoke with my lawyer about this already. Because of the situation and all her psychotic antics over the last few months she won't be able to fight me when I petition the court to strip her of her parental rights. There is more to tell you, but I will fill you in on all that when I come back in two days, deal my beautiful lady? So, no worries, Baby! I promise!"
She scrunched her nose, bit down on her lower lip and huffed out. "All right my love, deal! I trust you and your love for me. Please, just promise me one thing?"
"What's that sweet girl?"
"Just please be careful and come back to me in one piece! Deal?"
Derek couldn't help but chuckle and wiggle his expressive eyebrows. "Deal, my beautiful angel! I have so much to look forward to and live for. After all, I now have my Goddess back and my little man! My life is perfect and I will always come back to you safe! I have one more important question for you, okay?"
That last comment piqued her curiosity. She couldn't help, but wonder what it was. For some reason, she suddenly became nervous. "Ummm, yea okay! Go for it!"
He chuckled. "Relax, baby it's a good thing I promise!"
She instantly relaxed in his arms and smiled.
"When I come back will you move in with us or would you feel more comfortable waiting until my divorce is finalized? You know what my choice is though."
They both nervously chuckled at the same time which gave her time to get her thoughts together.
She gulped and began to fidget a little bit. "I love you, Derek Michael Morgan! There is nothing I want more than to be with you twenty-four/seven, but I need some time to adjust to all of this. Thank you for giving me the choice and I hope you don't mind if I wait until you have your final divorce decree. No worries Handsome, we will spend mucho time together, you, me and our baby boy Hank. After all, you promised you would woo me!"
She giggled and he grinned even though he felt a little bummed.
"I can't say I am not disappointed, Goddess. But, I do understand and accept your feelings and your wishes. The bright side is I will absolutely enjoy wooing you and spending as much time together as humanly possible. I love you, Penelope Calliope Garcia! I always have and always will, Sweetness! You are my life, my safe-haven, my God-given solace, my best friend, the woman who owns my heart and I will always be thankful for you! And, I can't wait to marry you!"
Penelope pulled him even closer and tightened her grip around him. She gazed into his eyes and saw his gentle soul and his love for her in them. She felt completely at home and safe with him, she always did. She cupped his face in her hands and caressed his cheeks and smiled.
"I love you too, Derek! You are my heart and soul and I will love you until the day I die. I have waited for this day for so long! And, now it is finally here! I have you and you have me forever! I promise I will never ever hurt you! You are my best friend, my knight in shining armor, my protector, my hero, the love of my life, the other half of my heart, a great daddy and my future husband. I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, Hank and any other future children we hopefully be blessed with."
When she finished speaking she pulled him closer, leaned in and started off with a gentle kiss which quickly turned extremely intense, fiery and full of want. One kiss turned into two and before they knew it they had been making out for a good half hour. When they pulled back from each other just a little bit, Derek leaned his forehead on hers and sighed.
"Woman, the things you do to me! If we don't stop now I will take you right here and right now. And, that is not I want for us. I want our first time to be special and full of romance. You deserve that and so much more, Goddess! As much as I hate doing this, I need to get a move on. I have a bit of a trip to the safe house to see the kid and his mom. If I could stay here forever with you I would. I am going to have breakfast with them and then beeline straight to the airport. I need to get my little man, pack up and I will be back in two days, I swear! When I get back here we can start our new life together with our son, not to mention let the wooing begin!"
She giggled uncontrollably and ran her fingers up and down his toned and muscular chest and abs. She couldn't help herself she wanted to tease him a little bit.
"Awww Hot Stuff, the things I do to you are nothing to the things you do to me. Our first time will be special, because it will be with you! We have waited this long, we can last a little bit longer. Just go get our boy and bring him home, so I can love all over him. Ohh, ohh, can we take him to the park when you get back, pleeasssse? Ohh, and what are going to do for work?"
He shook his head and laughed out, totally amused about her excitement in getting to see Hank. "Silly girl, of course we can take him to the park! He will absolutely love that, not to mention getting to spend some time with his 'Babeee'! He will be thrilled to spend lots and lots time with you, mama. And, you are right our first time will be special and mind-blowing, because it will be us! Regarding a job, as much as I don't want to break my promise to Hank I really miss working and being around you guys. Plus, I still want to make the world safer for all our future little ones. So, I am going to take a meeting with the Director and ask him to reinstate me as soon as my divorce goes through. I want to have some more time with Hank, to make sure that he gets comfortable with all the new and different things and his new surroundings. I want him to feel grounded. When I come back, my Momma is planning to come out here for a while, find a place to stay and take care of him while we are both at work. Before you say anything, I already told her she could stay with us and she adamantly refused. She wants to give us our space and privacy. If you decide to work on her, I am telling you now she won't budge! Good luck, she is just as stubborn and hardheaded as you, Gorgeous!"
Penelope couldn't help, but giggle and playfully slapped his chest. "Heyyy, no fair picking on me! I am not a hardhead, I just like my way! And, I will try and work on Momma Morgan! Is she happy you are coming back and that we will be together?"
Derek chuckled and pulled her closer. "Noooo, say it ain't soooo! Youuu, insisting on your way! Nahhh, not you, crazy girl! You can try, but you won't win. Trust me, baby! She is thrilled on both counts, she never liked Savannah. My Momma, always wanted us together she knew we were soulmates and belonged together. Besides, she loves you like I do and has always considered you one of her daughters!"
Penelope sniffled and cuddled up to him. "Stop teasing on me, Handsome! I will try, but I won't push her to hard, pinky swear. She is the best, I have always loved her! She is the mom I haven't had in too many years and I am truly blessed!"
He forlornly looked at her and sighed. "Alright woman of my heart, one more kiss unfortunately and then I am outta here and off to see Pretty Boy!"
With that said, they fell into each other's arms and enjoyed a searing, steamy and thrilling kiss. After several minutes, they pulled apart and gave each a slightly sad smile and one last hug. He let go of her, walked away and made his way to the door. After opening the door, he turned around, winked and smiled at her. He threw her a kiss and she caught it and smiled back at him.
"I will call you later tonight when I get back. I miss you already. I love you, Baby Girl!"
"You better call me and I miss you, too! Have a nice time with my heap of gray matter and Diana. I love you more, Hot Stuff! Be careful!"
"Always lovely lady, always!"
In a blink of an eye, he was gone closing the door behind him gently.
All the way down the hallway to the elevator he whistled. He was the happiest he had ever been. He was in love with his favorite girl and she now knew the truth. She loved him back and now he had her in his life for good. He couldn't wait to get back with Hank and start their new lives together as a family.
Penelope had slowly sat back down in her chair with a huge smile on her face as she touched her lips. The feelings he stirred up within her were just perfect. Her dreams were finally coming true. She was now with the love of her life and couldn't wait to see what her new future would hold for them. She had never been this happy in her whole life. She was going to marry the man of her dreams and be a mommy to Hank and anymore little ones that would appear. God, how she loved that man!
She was suddenly broken out of her reverie, when one of her Superheroes phoned in. "Garcia, it all went bad!"
The End
"If you love something, let it go. If it returns, it's yours; if it doesn't, it wasn't.
If you love someone, set them free. If they come back they're yours; if they don't they never were." –Richard Bach
