He couldn't believe it'd been a six months. Six months since he'd step foot in the BAU, six months since he'd seen the team, six months since he'd seen or talked to Penelope Garcia. He'd missed them all, but most of all he missed his princess.

Derek Morgan was driving down the highway on his way back to Quantico. It'd been six months since he took the job in New York and now he was on his way home for good. He'd tried to get use to the new position, but he preferred being out in the field more. But that wasn't the only reason he didn't like it. He found that he wasn't laughing as much, that the cases bothered him more, and he felt that there was just something missing. He had a pretty good idea what it was, or in this case, who it was.

So he'd asked for a transfer and after a lot of talks from the higher ups he finally got it. Now he was on his way home to surprise the team. Everything would be back to normal.

When he finally reached Virginia it was late and, though he really wanted to find Penelope and wrap her up in his arms, he didn't want to disturb her so he went to his old house that he luckily still hadn't sold. He went inside and just laid on his sofa. As he laid there he thought about Penelope and as he fell asleep he had a peaceful smile on his face.

As he walked down the hall towards the BAU he couldn't help but smile. Other agents who knew him waved and he nodded his head or waved back. When he reached the BAU bullpen he stopped and watched his ex-team mates from far enough away that they wouldn't notice him immediately. Reid was hard at work on what appeared to be reports while Emily tried to distract him and JJ sat laughing and giving Emily tips.

Morgan leaned against the wall with his arms crossed and watched until he saw Hotch and Rossi walking toward the others. He stood up straight and smirked before walking closer.

"Hey JJ you mind moving, you're at my desk." He said casually as he set his bag down by his old desk.

After he said this there was an intake of breath and the sound of something hitting the floor. He looked up and had to laugh at what he saw. Hotch was smiling slightly, Rossi's eyebrow was raised, JJ was covering her mouth, Emily's jaw was hanging open, and Reid was on the floor with a tipped over chair and a surprised look on his face.

After a second of silence Emily came forward on hugged him. She was followed by JJ and then Rossi who stepped forward to shake his hand. Once Reid had picked himself up off the floor he too walked up to Morgan, who ruffled his hair and then Hotch was the last to shake his hand.

"So the big shot's come to visit us humble profilers, huh?" Emily said.

"Something like that." Morgan replied with a smirk.

"Alright Morgan what's going on?" JJ asked as she crossed her arms. "You have that look on your face." She said suspiciously.

"I'm transferring." He said.

"Where to?" Reid asked.

"Here."

"Wait you mean here, as in the BAU?" JJ asked excitedly.

"Yep. I'm back for good." Morgan said with a smile. "That is if Hotch agrees." He added as he looked at Hotch.

Hotch stood there with a serious look for a minute before walking forward and holding out his hand.

"Welcome back Agent Morgan." He said with a slight smile as they shook hands.

"Thanks Hotch." Morgan said.

"I can't believe you're actually back!" Emily said disbelievingly.

"So the job just wasn't for you?" JJ asked.

"Kind of. I'll explain later, I should probably go see Garcia before she finds out for herself and kicks by butt for not going to see her first." He said with a large smile and a laugh. But the smile faded when he saw the sad looks of his teammates. They were glancing at each other with frowns and avoiding is eyes.

"What wrong?" He asked worriedly. "What's happened to Garcia?"


So what do you think so far?
