Summary: The aftermath immediately following where Penelope left off.

***

"I, uh, I think you're amazing," Kevin stammered, blushing ferociously. Garcia began laughing which made his face turn a deeper shade of red.

Morgan watched them from across the room and felt a wave of jealousy come over him. He immediately crossed the room and put his arm around Garcia.

"Let's go home baby girl," he whispered into her ear with a smile.

Kevin looked at Morgan and then back at Penelope. He felt Morgan's stare, but still could not take his eyes off her. She was smiling back at him until Morgan began nuzzling his face into her neck and pulled her tight against him. Only then did her smile and attention turn to Morgan.

"I'm ready sweet cheeks," she replied to Morgan with a wink. "It was great meeting you Kevin. I hope to see you around." She turned and walked out slowly with Morgan's arm around her waist. Kevin didn't move until they were on the elevator and out of sight. Only then did he realize he had been holding his breath as he watched her walk away. He let out a loud sigh and with a smile, whispered her name to himself.

"Penelope."

Morgan helped her slowly walk up the stairs to her apartment. She was trying to hide a grimace of pain which was becoming more obvious with each step. He followed her into her apartment and she gingerly lowered herself onto the couch.

Morgan knelt down next to the couch and placed his hands around her face.

"Do you want me to stay," he asked, slowly caressing the sides of her face.

"No honey, I'm fine now. There is nothing to worry about. You go home and get some sleep," she replied.

"Do you want me to stay," he asked again. Morgan was looking at her with an intensity she had never seen before. She was about to question his serious expression when he leaned forward and kissed her very softly on the lips, lingering just a second longer than appropriate and looked into her eyes. He could see confusion and questions in her expression.

"Derek -" she began to say. He immediately kissed her again, this time more deeply and with a passion she had never before felt in a kiss. She returned the intensity and pulled him closer to her. He was kneeling on the floor next to the couch and slowly lifted himself off the floor and positioned himself on top of her. She let out a small cry and he jumped up, realizing that he had put pressure directly on her wound.

"I'm sorry baby, are you OK," he asked, his face filled with worry. Garcia suddenly had a strange look on her face and turned away from him.

"I'm fine. I think you should leave now," she responded without looking back at him.

"Baby, I'm sorry. Was I moving too fast, are you OK? Talk to me baby girl," he said with worry, trying to pull her to face him.

"I don't need your sympathy," she shouted, jerking away from him. "I'm not mad anymore. You were right about the date all along. I should have listened to you. But I do not need your sympathy and guilty kisses."

Morgan took a step back, now understanding what she thought had happened. She believed that he only kissed her because he felt guilty and sorry for her. He ran his hand over his head and walked back to her.

"Mama, I've wanted to do that for a very long time," he explained. "I've had a million excuses ranging from being too good of friends, working together, not wanting a relationship, my list could go on and on. But I was really just worried that if we started something it would be real and true, and I wasn't sure if either of us were ready for that type of commitment." She turned back to look at him and he could see tears in her eyes. "Baby girl, don't cry," he whispered while gently wiping a tear off her cheek. "Before I got the call that you were in the hospital I was in church, praying for guidance. I wanted God to prove to me that He was real and help me find my path in life," he said as he paced back and forth in front of the couch. "I've been angry with God for a very long time and wasn't a very pleasant conversation," he said with a smirk. "But I was sitting in that church, asking for help, and every time I closed my eyes all I could see was your smiling face. I knew at that moment that God had given me my answer. I needed to tell you how I feel about you. So I walked out of the church, determined to pound on your door until you let me in and confess my feelings to you. Instead I received the message that you were in the hospital, and at that moment I thought my life was over."

Garcia sat up very slowly, holding her wound with her hand. He hated watching her in pain and knelt on the floor in front of her.

"So you didn't kiss me just because you felt guilty about everything that happened," she asked quietly.

Morgan gently pushed her hair out of her face and stared intently into her eyes. "No baby girl, I kissed you because I'm in love with you," he said with a smile.

Morgan sauntered into the office with his typical confident style. Emily and Reid were already busy at work but both looked up with friendly smiles as he entered. Only Reid noticed he was in an exceptionally cheerful mood considering all that had happened over the past few days.

"You seem quite happy today," Reid mused while looking at Morgan over his coffee cup.

"It's a pretty good day kid," Morgan replied with a smile.

They all turned as JJ walked in, looking nervous and unsure. She glanced over at the missing window and quickly looked away. It had been less than 24 hours since she shot through the glass and killed Garcia's attacker and she was obviously still shaken up.

"Why don't you go check on her," Emily asked Reid as she saw his gaze follow her into her office. Reid stood up slowly and walked her direction.

Just then, Kevin walked in and shot an annoyed look at Morgan before he walked into Garcia's office. Morgan sat at his desk for a moment, slowly turning back and forth in his chair. Finally he stood up and walked confidently to Garcia's door. Kevin was just settling in at her computers.

"I'm SSA Derek Morgan," he said holding out his hand. "Thank you for your help with Penelope's situation. We really appreciated it."

"Sure, not a problem. She is really good. As soon as I saw her setup I knew she was a cool girl," replied Kevin.

"Oh she is the best," Morgan said with a knowing look and walked out of the room with a smile.

"JJ, are you OK," Reid asked as he slowly walked into her office.

"I'm fine Spence," she said with a smile just a little too bright and a little too cheery, "how are you doing today?"

Reid gave her a slight smile and sat down across from her. "You don't always have to be so brave JJ. We are all affected by situations. It's normal that you are upset after shooting someone. That's what separates us from them," he said with a smile. "I'm here to listen if you need to talk. I may not be as good at this as Gideon, but I am always here for you," he said nervously as he picked at the bottom of his sweater.

JJ stood up and slowly walked over to him. "Thanks Spence. I don't really feel like talking right now, but I could use a hug," she said with a small smile.

He stood up and gingerly put his arms around her as she laid her head on his shoulder. She sighed as he gently stroked her hair. She felt relaxed and happy for about five seconds until her cell phone and pager sounded simultaneously and they broke their embrace.

"JJ had a family emergency and will be out of the office for a few weeks," Hotch stated as the team all looked around the table at one another.

"Is she OK, what's going on," Emily asked.

"JJ is fine, but her mother is ill. She asked that we respect her privacy during this time and she will be back as soon as she can," Hotch answered. "In the meantime, Emily, David and I will be traveling to Seattle to run the training seminar we were all supposed to manage last week," he said and began to walk out of the room.

Reid looked over at Morgan with surprise. Morgan shrugged his shoulders as if to say he had no idea what was going on.

"Wait, Hotch, what about Morgan and I," Reid called out.

"Morgan and Reid will stay here and make sure Garcia doesn't try to sneak back to work. She needs to stay out the entire week and rest. Kevin Lynch is here to fill in while she is out. You will also take over some of JJ's duties in looking over cases. If anything jumps out at you or an emergency arises give us a call. Reid, you could also use this opportunity to catch up on your paperwork," he said with a pointed look and walked out of the room.

"Morgan was sitting in his chair, slowly turning back and forth and watching Reid nervously play with a pencil as he left JJ another message.

"JJ, its Spencer. Give me a call please. I want to make sure you're alright."

"She still isn't answering," he said and looked over at Morgan. "I hope everything is OK. She is already in a fragile state after the shooting yesterday, and –"

"Reid, calm down. I'm sure JJ is fine. She's probably busy with her family. She'll call you back if she needs you man," Morgan said with a grin. He knew his friend had feelings for JJ deeper than he was willing to admit and it was amusing to see him get all worked up.

Just then Reid's phone rang and he sprang to his feet.

"See, I told you," Morgan said smiling.

Reid walked out of the room to take the call and Morgan picked up his phone and rotated it in his hand, contemplating making a call. Suddenly he jumped out of his chair as Garcia slowly crept through the door, trying to sneak by without being noticed.

"Garcia," he shouted from across the room. "What the hell are you doing here? You're supposed to be at home resting," he said with annoyance as he crossed the room toward her.

She had a look of panic on her face as she realized she had been busted. She glanced into her office and saw Kevin turning her monitors and a mess of wrappers strewn around the room.

"What do you think you're doing in here," she screeched. She threw her hands in the air and one hand immediate shot back down to her side as she grimaced with pain. Morgan was already by her side with his arm around her, leading her away from the office.

"Baby girl, be careful, don't get yourself all worked up," he said quietly. "Kevin is just fine in there, you need to go home and take it easy."

"Take it easy, how am I supposed to take it easy when he is in there messing things up," she yelled back in the direction of her office.

Morgan led her to his desk and gently pushed her down into his chair. He let out a loud sigh and looked at her with a wide smile. "Relax," he said.

Kevin came running out of the office and up to Morgan's desk. He was already blushing as he approached her.

"Hi Penelope, it's wonderful to see you," he said with enthusiasm. "I'm sorry about your office; I promise everything will be exactly how you had it by the time you get back to work."

"No, no no, you stay out of my office," she said with annoyance. "I'm feeling great and ready to come back to work today. And look, I'm already here, so you can leave now!"

"No, no baby girl. I'm taking you home right now. You need your rest," Morgan said firmly. "Wait, how did you get here," he asked.

Kevin was looking at her with amusement and Morgan with frustration, his arms crossed in front of him. Garcia looked down and mumbled something they couldn't understand.

"What," both Kevin and Morgan asked at the same time.

"The metro," she said quietly. "I tried to drive but steering was too painful so I took the train." She looked up at Morgan with nervous eyes and his frustrated expression made her immediately look back down.

"I'm taking you home right now," he turned and looked over at Kevin. "She's going to be out the rest of the week man. Thanks for your help."

Garcia opened her mouth, ready to protest until she saw the expression on Morgan's face and shut her mouth without saying a word.

Kevin smiled at her as she walked away and shook his head with amusement.

-
Morgan and Garcia were walking through the parking garage to his car when he stopped and turned around to her.

"Baby, I'm going to stay home with you the rest of the day and take care of you. You need to take it easy and I'm afraid you're going to go jump a plane somewhere if I leave you alone again," Morgan said while shooting her an annoyed look.

"I just feel so useless at home. I should be helping the team," she said quietly.

Morgan put his hands on her shoulders and gave her a soft kiss on the cheek. "Baby girl, I need you to take care of yourself so we can get you healthy as quickly as possible," he whispered.

"Oh yeah sweet cheeks," she said with a smirk. "Are you sick of waiting already?"

"Oh I would wait for you forever if I had to, but I'm hoping you'll toss me a bone here and get back to prime form quickly as possible," he said right before he leaned in and kissed her. He pulled her as close to him as possible, running his fingers through her hair as he kissed her.

"Somebody is going to catch us hot stuff," she said breathlessly as she tried to pull away from him. "There are cameras all over this place."

"Let them catch us," he growled as he pulled her back into the kiss.

Suddenly the side door burst open and Kevin appeared holding her purse. At the sound of the door opening they jumped away from each other and looked at a shocked Kevin staring at them.

"I, um, I, uh," he stammered. His face was red and he was out of breath as if he had been running to catch her. "Your purse," he finally blurted out and tossed the purse at them as he ran back to the door and disappeared.

"Oh no," Garcia said quietly. "I think he liked me."

Morgan walked over and picked up her purse. "Don't worry momma, I'll talk to him. Now let's get you home so I can take care of you," Morgan said as he led her to the car.

Garcia looked back at where Kevin had been standing before letting Morgan take her to the car.

***

Reid stood in front of the door and took a deep breath before finally working up the nerve to knock. He was fiddling nervously with his hands behind his back when a red, puffy eyed JJ opened the door.

"Thanks for coming," she whispered as she let him into her apartment.

Reid had never been to her apartment before and was impressed by the tasteful decoration and beautiful view. He was about to comment on it when he realized she was still standing by the door crying.

"Oh JJ," he said softly and walked over to her. He pulled her into his arms and held her while she cried. She smelled so good and it felt wonderful holding her. Stop it! You're here to comfort her, not hit on her, he told himself. But he couldn't help taking pleasure in the fact that he was the one comforting her, holding her, in her time of need.

"I'm sorry Spence," she cried. "I hate being like this, I hate being out of control, but right now I feel like my entire life is out of control," she sobbed as he held her tightly against him.

He held her for a few minutes and then slowly pulled away, gently lifting her chin to look into her eyes. "What can I do for you JJ," he asked, noticing a suitcase sitting near the door. "How are you getting back to Pennsylvania? I don't think you are in any condition to drive, would you like me to take you," he asked gently.

She looked surprised by the offer and immediately shook her head no. She pulled him toward her and snuggled back into his embrace for a moment and thought about his offer. Let him help you. There is nothing wrong with letting someone help you, she thought to herself.

"Thank you Spence, I would really appreciate it if you would drive me home," she said tearfully. She felt so comfortable with him was already feeling slightly better. She pulled away slowly from his embrace and moved over to the couch, motioning for him to sit next to her. He followed her lead obediently and blushed as his knee rubbed against hers as he sat down.

"I know I wasn't making much sense when I spoke to you earlier, but my mother isn't doing well. She has been taking chemotherapy for a few months and we thought she was getting better, but now here kidneys are failing," she whispered. She looked over at Reid with sad eyes and he instinctively picked up her hand and kissed it. As soon as he realized what he had done he dropped her hand and blushed, causing her to laugh. She reached over and picked his hand up, interweaving their fingers and placed it in her lap. They sat in silence for a few minutes until Reid started nervously fidgeting with his free hand and looking around.

"JJ, are you packed, do you need me to help you get ready to go," he questioned. She looked confused so he pointed at the suitcase.

"Yes, I'm sorry, I'm ready to go."

Two hours later she was sleeping soundly in the front seat of his car. He couldn't stop looking over at her, noticing how peaceful she looked. She was so beautiful, even with red, puffy eyes.

He felt his phone vibrate and checked the caller ID before answering.

"Hotch," he said into the phone. "I'm sorry, but JJ was in no shape to get herself home, so I'm driving her to Pennsylvania," he said hurriedly. "I can be back in the office tomorrow."

"Stay with her as long as she needs you Reid," Hotchner replied. "She's going through a lot right now and if she needs you to stay a few days I'm sure Morgan can manage back at the office."

"Thanks sir," Reid said and closed the phone. He had no idea of JJ wanted him to stay even one night, but he was happy to have the permission to stay if she needed him.

JJ sat up, obviously startled, and looked over at him with a confused look on her face. "What's wrong," she asked him.

"Everything is fine JJ," he replied. "I was just talking to Hotch and I let him know I am taking you home."

"Was he mad," she asked with tears forming again in her eyes.

"Not at all," he answered while reaching over and taking her hand. "Everything is going to be fine."

"Thank you Spence," she said and leaned over and kissed him softly on the check.

Morgan was awakened by shattered glass and Garcia's scream. She was sitting up in the bed with the same expression she wore the night Jason Clark Battle came to her apartment trying to finish what he had started. Morgan instinctively pushed her back down onto his bed. She was shaking as he put one finger over his lips telling her to be quiet. He grabbed his gun off the nightstand and slowly walked around the corner and out of her sight. Why can't this end, she asked herself silently. She felt a wave of panic move over her and she felt like she needed to hide. She pulled the blanket over her head, curled into fetal position, and began to quietly cry.

"Somebody threw this through my window baby girl, that's all it was," Morgan announced in an annoyed tone a few minutes later. "Nothing serious, but I know it was really bad timing," he said quietly. She jumped up and saw him standing in the doorway, gun lowered, with a large rock in his hand. He then held up a note which read GO TO HELL ASSHOLE written in red lipstick.

"I'm guessing this didn't have anything to do with you," he said. She was still shaking as he sat down on the bed and motioned for her to sit back down. "We're going to be OK baby girl," he whispered as he pulled her into his lap. "Everything is going to be fine and I am going to take care of you. I promise I'm not going to let anyone ever hurt you again." She snuggled her head into his neck and began to relax. After a few moments and several deep breaths, she looked to be handing the situation pretty well.

"Most likely some girl who expected more than just one night," Garcia said with one eyebrow raised obviously looking for an explanation and gesturing toward the note.

"It's possible," he mumbled giving her a sheepish grin. Garcia's other eyebrow shot up at his response. "You stay in here, I'm going to clean up the mess. And don't worry about other girls. I love you, and only you. I promise I won't be breaking any more hearts," he said with a grin and returned to his mess.

She flopped back down on the bed and stared at the ceiling for a moment. She was in Derek Morgan's bed and once again he had told her that he loves her! It seemed so unbelievable that this was happening. He was her dream guy; the unattainable hunk who she never believed would return her feelings. She smiled and decided to go out and give him a hand.

As she walked into the living room she gasped at the sight of Morgan sweeping up glass in only his boxer briefs. He looked amazing, of course, but there was something incredibly sexy about seeing him doing a domestic chore like sweeping. He looked up at her and saw the look of lust in her eyes. His dark eyes matched her intensity, and he dropped the broom. Before she knew what was happening his mouth was on hers and he lifted her up off the ground. She wrapped her legs around his waist and he carried her back to the bedroom.

Morgan walked into the office and was surprised not to see Reid. He flopped down hard in his chair and let out a big yawn. He was exhausted from the late night window shattering and cleaning. He smiled to himself as he realized he only blamed his lack of sleep on the window, it couldn't be from the late night lovemaking, he chuckled to himself.

Suddenly his phone rang. Caller ID indicated it was Reid so he answered with annoyance. "Get your butt in here now kid. You're late."

"Um, Morgan, I'm not going to be coming in today," Reid said slowly. Morgan could tell that Reid was covering the phone and talking to someone else. "Actually," he continued a moment later, "I'm not going to be in the rest of the week. I am in Pennsylvania with JJ," he said apprehensively.

"Oh, I get it," Morgan said teasingly. "You take care of your girl Reid, I can hold down the fort here. And Reid," he continued, his tone suddenly serious, "tell JJ we're thinking about her."

"Um, thanks Morgan. I'll see you next week," Reid stammered. Morgan laughed because even over the telephone he could tell Reid was blushing.

***

"Thank you," JJ whispered as Reid hung up the phone. "Having you here makes me feel so much better."

"I am here as long as you need me JJ," Reid smiled. He knew she was in a very bad place emotionally. She was still in shock after the shooting two days before, and now she was about to say goodbye to her mother. "Are you ready to head to the hospital," he asked.

"Yes," JJ said quietly, looking around the room. They had arrived at her parent's house late the night before and the house was dark. Rather than disturbing her father's much needed sleep JJ had decided to check in at a nearby hotel. Separate rooms, of course, but it still made her feel better knowing Reid was only one door away as she slept.

She was interrupted from her daydreaming by her cell phone ringing.

"Hello Dad. I'm here and getting ready to head to the hospital right now," she said breathlessly. Reid watched her listening to her father on the other end of the phone and suddenly the expression on her face turned hard and she stared straight forward. "That's fine," she said coldly. "But you might want to let him know that I'm not alone," she said glancing over at Reid. "My boyfriend is with me," she finished staring at Reid while his jaw dropped open.

-
JJ and Reid walked into the lobby of the hospital and JJ turned to face an obviously nervous Reid.

"I'm sorry again about this, but with all that is happening I just can't deal with my ex-boyfriend trying to get back together," she tried to explain. "After four years of dating he understandably became close to my entire family. He was devastated when I broke up with him and joined the FBI," she said looking down at the ground. "I know he loves my mother but I am pretty sure he wouldn't sit at her deathbed if there weren't ulterior motives…and I am guessing that getting back together with me is that motive," she explained.

"But JJ," Reid said quietly, "I don't think lying to your mother right before she dies is what you really want," he said looking at the ground. He was kicking a rock with his foot and obviously very nervous.

"Then let's not make it a lie," she whispered looking up at him. He was staring at her with amazement, trying to let what she said sink in when she stood on her toes and gave him a very soft kiss. Reid put his arms around her and kissed her back with an intensity she hadn't expected. He pulled her tight against him and kissed her with passion that seemed impossible coming from Spencer Reid. After a moment he pulled away and looked straight into her eyes. He was breathless and his cheeks were pink.

"JJ, I'm so sorry. I shouldn't have done that," he eyes pleading for forgiveness. "You are vulnerable and I know that. I shouldn't have kissed you back. I am taking advantage," he said with tears welling up in his eyes.

"Spence," she interrupted him placing her finger on his lips to stop him from talking, "I've wanted to do that for a long time - long before any of this happened. I agree it probably isn't the best timing to start a relationship, but let's not rule anything out either," she said with a smile. It was the first genuine smile he had seen from her since before Garcia was shot and it gave him a tiny sliver of hope that maybe she really meant what she was saying. "So we won't be lying to my mother. It's all true, we're seeing what happens," she said softly.

-
JJ and Reid walked into her mother's room hand in hand. JJ and her mother immediately locked eyes and JJ rushed to her side and took her hand.

"Mom," JJ whispered. "How are you feeling," she asked.

"I'm OK sweetie," her mother said groggily. "But I've seen better days," she laughed. Her mother then looked past JJ and saw a nervous Spencer Reid standing behind her. "Hello there," she said to Spencer with a smile.

"Um, hello Mrs. Jareau," Reid said nervously. He took a step forward to approach her bed when he was almost knocked down by two men walking into the room with large boxes.

"Sorry dude," the younger man said without looking at Reid. JJ moved over to Reid's side and took his hand. The men put the boxes down on a small table and turned back to JJ and Reid.

"I would like you all to meet Dr. Spencer Reid," JJ said, obviously stressing the title. The older man stepped forward with a warm smile and introduced himself as JJ's father.

"Dr. Reid, it's a pleasure to meet you," he smiled. "JJ has told me much about you," he said warmly as Reid shot a surprised look at JJ.

"Um, you can call me Spencer. It's nice to meet you too sir," Reid replied stumbling over his words.

"And I'm Jimmy Epperling," the younger man announced confidently as he stepped forward. He stood at least six foot five and was broad shouldered. His blonde hair matched JJ's and Reid couldn't help but think they made a better looking couple than he and JJ ever would. He shook Reid's hand with such pressure it made Reid wince. JJ shot Jimmy a look and he let go of Reid's hand quickly, putting his hands in the air. "Sorry man, I didn't mean to hurt you," he said with a smirk.

Reid looked nervously over at JJ who smiled and squeezed his other hand softly. She then led him over to her mother's bed and smiled, content knowing that her mother had met the man she truly loved.

Morgan had lost track of time and was buried in case files. The office was so quiet that he almost jumped out of his seat when he heard a door close. He looked up and saw a very defeated and tired looking Kevin Lynch walking out of Garcia's office.

"Hey man," Morgan said, approaching the tech, "Listen, I'm sorry about yesterday. I know that you like Garcia, and I knew that before yesterday. I would have said something but…her and I, well…it's all really new and I wasn't sure what to say. No hard feelings man," Morgan finished with his hand outstretched.

Kevin gave him a weak handshake and refused to make eye contact. "No worries," he replied and started to walk away.

"Wait, Kevin. There's one other thing. Garcia and I aren't exactly publicizing this relationship. Working together, being on the same team, it could cause some issues. We would appreciate your discretion man," Morgan said in a serious tone.

"Whatever," Kevin sounded dejected and walked out the door.

Morgan walked back to his desk and sat down, surprised at how upset Kevin had seemed after only meeting Garcia one time. "Strange dude, but he'll get over it. At least he won't be throwing any rocks through windows," he chuckled aloud and went back to his case files.

Kevin had walked out of the office and was waiting at the elevators. He was angry. Angry with Penelope for being involved with someone who was obviously a player, angry with himself for thinking he had a chance with her, but mostly angry with Morgan for doing what every other smooth, handsome man had always done – he stole his girl.

Garcia thanked the repairman as he left Morgan's apartment. Derek had seemed so tired this morning she knew that he would forget about calling in for a glass repair as soon as he left, so she did it for him. It was such a basic, normal thing to do, but it felt like something a real girlfriend would do for her boyfriend, and that made her happy.

She sat down on the couch and picked up a magazine on the coffee table. She flipped through it for about five seconds and threw it back down, obviously bored. She picked up the telephone, about to give Derek a call, when her phone began to ring.

"I was just thinking about calling you hot stuff," she said into the phone.

"Mmmm, I was missing you momma," he growled back. He was the only person in the office so he felt comfortable talking to her on speakerphone. He was leaning back in his chair, feet on his desk, and smiling at the sound of her voice.

"Missing me," she questioned, "I don't think you could have handled any more of me after last night," she joked.

"I could never get enough of you baby," he replied. "And last night was pretty fantastic," Morgan heard a noise and turned to see Kevin Lynch back in the office, holding a sack lunch. His face was red and he had obviously heard enough of the conversation to feel even more hurt.

"Shit," Morgan said aloud and snapped the phone off speakerphone. Kevin glared at him and locked himself in Garcia's office.

"What's wrong sexy," Garcia questioned.

"Oh, nothing baby, don't worry about it," Morgan said as he glanced back to her office. "I need to get back to work girl. I just wanted to check on you. I'll call you later, OK."

"I love you Derek," she said quietly.

"I love you too baby girl," he replied with a smile.

Kevin was fuming as he sat in Penelope's office. Why was Derek Morgan messing with him? Talking to Penelope loudly about their sex life, knowing he could be right around the corner! He was trying to get Kevin upset, rub it in that he had stolen away his girl.

Kevin clenched his jaw and stared at the ground. You will be sorry Derek Morgan, he thought to himself. Penelope will be mine and you will be alone, he vowed to himself. He smiled wickedly and began typing.
