"This one is for Bella!" Penelope smiled, handing a gift bag to her.
"Thank you," Bella said before unwrapping the gift.
She smiled and let out a laugh, holding up a complete collection of Nicholas Sparks novels. The team smiled, holding on to their own gifts from their own Secret Santa. Penelope smiled the widest before biting down on her bottom lip to stop herself.
"Penelope, there's no doubt in my mind that you're my Secret Santa," Bella grinned.
Penelope pressed her lips together before laughing, "FINE! I couldn't help myself! Sometimes when I shop for others I think of things that I would really like someone to get me...and then I just end up buying it."
"I love it," Bella said, standing up and giving Penelope a hug.
"Thank you again for mine," Hotch said, holding up the countless pairs of socks and coffee mugs Bella had purchased him.
"Anytime!" Bella smiled before looking over at Spencer. He looked completely baffled by the bottles of wine Rossi had gotten him. She held back a laugh before Penelope clapped her hands together, getting the attention of the entire team.
"Everyone put on their Santa hats!" Penelope exclaimed. "We're taking a group photo."
Bella put on her hat as Spencer did the same, quickly getting up and sitting down next to her. Hotch and Rossi exchanged glances before putting on the Santa hats, immediately feeling ridiculous. Penelope set up the camera before quickly running away from it to join the group, Derek throwing his arm around her shoulder before smiling widely. Bella leaned in closer to Spencer, leaning her head against his shoulder as the camera flashed.
Penelope let out a cheer as she rushed back over to the camera to check the photo, "This is definitely going in my scrapbook!"
The team smiled, slowly pulling off their hats. Bella put her books back into the gift bag, setting it by her desk before she felt a large hand on her shoulder. She turned to see Hotch looking down at her.
"Hey," she smiled. "What's up?"
"Could I speak to you in my office for a second?" Hotch asked.
"Sure...of course."
She glanced over at Spencer, giving him a shrug before following Hotch. They went into his office, him quickly closing the day behind them. He motioned for Bella to talk a seat, the young woman doing so. He moved behind his desk, taking a seat as well.
"Sorry for pulling you away from the party," he said. "I just have something I need to speak with you about."
