Derek Morgan and Hondo imagines

Little Family (Derek)

It was a really messed up week for Derek, and all he wanted to do was do nothing all weekend and be alone with you. After being in Huntsville, Alabama, for way longer than he wanted to be, he needed the down time. Yes, he was happy the team caught the unsub, but he needed to be at home for a while.

When he entered, he smiled at what he saw. You and Clooney were fast asleep on the couch with his head on your chest and your arms wrapped around him. Derek couldn't help but get out his phone and take a picture. He then put his phone away and crept over to you. He tried to be almost silent as he sat down on the couch arm. Clooney's eyes slowly opened and he cocked his head slightly. "Hey buddy!" Derek greeted whispering. You suddenly let out a silent groan and looked over to where Clooney was looking. "Hi." you greeted with the sleep still in your voice. "I'm so sorry I woke you up!" Derek apologized. "You didn't wake me up. We were waiting on you." you reassured petting Clooney. "Apparently, you both gave out." Derek replied. Clooney carefully hopped down off the couch and went to get a drink of water. You pushed your hair back to get it out of your face.

"How'd he do?" Derek asked about Clooney. "He did really good. Other than the fact that he missed his dad, but that's not unusual." you answered. The American Bulldog had come down with an infection in his stomach a week prior, and you and Derek didn't know what was wrong with him. You finally took him to the vet, and that's when you discovered the infection. He was put on antibiotics for it, and he had taken his 3rd dose before dinner. "Well, he's got nothin' to worry about because his daddy's gonna be stickin' around for a while." Derek stated. You suddenly sat up.

"What do you mean by for a while?" you asked. "Hotch gave us some time off." Derek answered. "Babe, that's great!" you replied in excitement. "I don't know how long it's gonna be, but in the meantime, I can focus on bein' a better daddy to Clooney." Derek said. You grabbed his hands. "Derek, you're already a great dad to him. He knows you travel for your job, but he also knows you're always going to come home to him." you reassured.

Derek pulled you closer to him and started to kiss you...That was until Clooney jumped on you both. "Excuse me, I'm allowed to snuggle your mama." Derek jokingly scolded. You laughed as Clooney got back down on all fours. Derek came to his level, smiled, and petted him. Pretty soon, a game of fetch took place, and you watched happily. Yes, there were no human kids yet, but you were okay with that because you already had your own kid in Clooney. Clooney was your baby, and nothing was going to change that.
