Little Man [D.M]

"I just realized with all that we do and see in this room, I never smiled" JJ confessed looking at us, "I wanted at least one good memory to hold on to"

You had just entered the room, freshly back from a case, when you were all greeted by a familiar blonde figure, a baby gurgling in her arms.

You walked towards her, hugging both of them carefully. "Hi"

"Hi"

"He looks beautiful, just like his mother"

Her eyes lit up, a view nothing but warm to your heart.

"Excuse me, kid" you heard then Derek cooed, while moving Spencer with one hand. He made his way towards where you were standing, his face sheer kindness. "Uhm, JJ... Can I?"

"Yeah, of course" she said, caringly positioning her son in his arms.

You watched them carefully. Your boyfriend was standing there, gently rocking the baby, joy on his face. Just a few moments had passed when Emily panicked and started scolding him. "Okay, you've got to hold his head up"

"I am"

"Careful, careful!"

"I got it, I got it. I got it" Derek reassured her, never ceasing his slow movements.

"No, you... No, you don't 'Got it'. You're smothering him" stepped in Penelope.

"I do" he repeated, "Look, look. What's he doing? What's he doing? He is smiling at Derek Morgan"

The two women exchanged a look. "Gas"

He eyed them, reaching for JJ. "Give me that"

She passed him the baby bottle, Spencer and Dave next to her.

"Hey, little man" he whispered, feeding him.

You couldn't help but giggle as you watched your friends. Hotch was now beside you, observing the scene too, a small grin forming on his face.

"You're smiling" you stated.

He squinted his eyes as he looked at you, you were sure in an attempt to hide a laugh. "Gas"

You poked his arm with your finger as Derek approached you. All his focus was fixed on the tiny life he was clutching in his arms, radiating fondness all around him.

You looked up at him and he did the same. At the sight of the two, your stomach filled with butterflies. You thought about your dream of becoming a mother, of sharing a home with your loved one, of the family you could have, of someone you could finally share everything with.

So there you stood, the man you loved in front of you, with a baby in between you two, staring into each other's eyes.

"Hopefully," Dave interrupted your working mind chuckling, "One day you'll be the one to bring a mini human to the BAU and we'll see a mini Morgan running around the office"

"Or a mini Y/N!" arosed Penelope.

You blushed at the idea.

Derek kissed you on the shoulder, your breath settling again. "That would make me the luckiest man alive"
