That Monday marked the one month anniversary of Emily living in her new house, in Washington D.C, after being away hiding from Ian Doyle.
It had also been 1 month since the first time she kissed Derek Morgan. She never thought she'd date a colleague but their relationship was going strong and her daughter couldn't be any happier.

She woke up that Monday morning and went to wake up her daughter to get ready for school. It was Isabella's first day of 4th grade and the kid was feeling nervous.

"Mom, but what if they still look at me differently because of what happened?" The 9 year-old asked as Emily braided her hair. She was nervous because the kids knew about her mom's work and that she had left her.

"Chloe, Gavin and Rose will be there. You're gonna be fine" Emily said with a smile, talking about the girl's best friends.

Bella smiled but Emily knew she was still nervous. So Emily wrapped the small girl in her arms. She knew Bella had been through a lot. Losing her dad, getting bullied, being torture by Doyle and specially Emily leaving really took a tool on her.

"Everything is going to be okay" Emily told the girl.

They hugged for a while and then Emily let go. "Go get your backpack" she said and Bella ran to her room to get it.
She walked downstairs all ready. Emily smiled at how cute her kid looked wearing uniforms.

"First day of school picture" Emily said.

"Ugh" Bella made a face not really wanting it.

"Come on. Your dad asked me to" Emily said and Bella gave in and posed for a picture.

They headed to the car.
"Here. Send it to him" Emily smiled handing her phone to the girl. Bella got it and texted Derek Morgan.

It had been a little over a month since she started calling him dad but over 5 that she felt like he was her second father. She absolutely loved the fact that Emily was dating him. She loved when he went over to their house, their movie nights and ice cream dates. She loved him so much and she was happy that her mom was happy too.

"Mom said you wanted this so I made an effort to take one. :)"

.

Derek was pouring himself some coffee at the LA police station.
"Good morning princess. And thank you" he sent.

"Will you come back today?" Bella asked.

"Don't know. Hard case" he sent.

Bella made a face when she read.

"What's with the face?" Emily asked her when she noticed.

"He probably won't come back today" Bella said.

"He'll come back soon" Emily said.

"I know" Bella said. "I'm just glad you're not on the field anymore" she breathed out.

Emily gave her girl a fake smile.
She liked the hours she had at work now but she missed the field. She didn't really know why. She had been thinking of talking to Isabella about going back on the field. But right there she saw the girl was not really ready for that yet. So she dropped Bella off at school and headed to the BAU.

"Hello Mama Bear! How was the school dropout today?" Penelope said as soon as Emily walked in the bullpen.

"She was nervous but went in just fine" Emily smiled.

"That's my girl" Garcia smiled.

Emily smiled back and asked "any good news for me?"

"Nop. We've got no changes. They're still interviewing the relatives" Penelope explained.

Emily knew that case would need some sort of breakthrough soon.
They were pretty much stuck.

At school, Isabella ended up having a good time. She was nervous but having her friends there really helped. Chloe, Gavin and Rose greeted her right when she got there that morning. They went to their classroom and smiled when they spotted Gavin's friend Michael waiting for them.

"I can't believe we're gonna study together now" Rose said.

The boy smiled and the three kids took some seats close to him.
Bella spotted two girls that used to bully her. She sat there just waiting for them to say something but they didn't. Gail and Yuna just walked past them and took seats on the back.
Suddenly Mazzy, one of the other girls that used to bully Bella, walked in. She searched the room and when her eyes met Bella's she kinda froze unsure of what to do. Bella looked away and the girl took a seat in the front row.

.

The morning went on great. All the classes seemed the same as the previous year because they had the same teachers. During lunch break they sat together in the cafeteria and went on and on about what they did on vacation. Suddenly Bella spotted Mazzy sitting by herself. She remembered how Mazzy was never mean to her like the other girls had been and she felt bad that the kid was all alone.

"Guys" Bella said and everyone looked at her. She pointed to Mazzy.

"I feel bad for her" Chloe said.

"Me too" Rose said.

"Can I ask if she wants to sit with us?" Bella asked.

"Fine by me" Gavin said.

Bella looked at her friends for approval and they nodded so she went to talk to Mazzy. The girl was really embarrassed but followed Isabella back to the table.

"Mazzy this is Michael. He plays soccer with Gavin" Bella explained.

"Hi" the girl said shyly.

"Come on. Sit down" Bella said and Mazzy took a seat next to Bella.
They went back to talking about their vacation and Mazzy didn't say a word the entire time. When lunch was done they went back to their classroom.
When the last bell rang, everyone got their bags and started to make their way out.

"Mazzy! Wait up!" Chloe said when she saw the girl walking to the door. Mazzy waited for them and they walked out together.

Isabella spotted her mother's car and smiled. "My mom's here. Bye" she said and hugged Chloe. Everyone said goodbye and Bella rushed down the steps in from of the school.
Suddenly she spotted Derek.
She smiled big and ran to him. They hugged and he lifted her up.
"You're back" Bella said.

"The case took a turn earlier today" he said putting her back down and grabbing her hand.

"Are we going home?" She asked him.

"Ice cream first?" Derek asked hopeful. Bella hugged him with a big smile and they headed to the car.

"So... How was school?" He asked as they buckled up.

"It was good" Bella said.

"Your mom said you were nervous"

"Kinda" Bella admitted. "It's just that after everything that happened last year I was... nervous"

Derek smiled.

"I just don't want to get bullied again. Especially like last year" she said.

"You've got a whole gang now. I saw you walking out with your friends" Morgan said and Bella laughed.

"Michael is in our school now and Mazzy was alone today and we felt kinda bad" she explained.

"Mazzy? Mazzy bully Mazzy?" Derek asked surprised.

"Yeah." Bella laughed. "She's actually kinda nice. At least she was today" she said and he laughed.

They went to the ice cream place and had a wonderful time. Once done they headed to the BAU. Bella smiled when she walked in the bullpen and found balloons at her mother's desk.

"What's that?" She asked Emily.

"That's from Penelope, of course" Emily laughed and wrapped Bella in a hug. "How was school?" She asked.

"Good" Bella smiled and Emily let her go check the balloons and the card.
"Uhhh chocolate" Bella smiled and headed to Garcia's office to thank her.

"So... how was the ice cream?" Emily asked Morgan. He wrapped his arms around her.

Morgan laughed. "Next time you're going too"

"I better" Emily said and he kissed her.

The team was done with the case but they still had some paperwork to do. So Isabella stayed in Derek's office as everyone worked.
Around 6pm Derek walked in his office and told her she was going to Penelope's house for the night.

"Why?" Bella asked confused.

"Do you know that your mom and I have been together together for a month?" He asked.

She smiled big. "Are you taking her out to dinner?" She asked.

"Yes I am" Derek smiled.

"I'd love a movie night with Pen" Bella smiled and ran out to find Garcia. The girl was pure joy. She was just so happy that they were together.

So Bella went to spend the night at Penelope's and Derek took Emily out.

"Work clothes won't work for this" Derek said parking in front of Emily's house.

"Are serious Morgan? We're gonna change just to have dinner?" Emily said.

"Yes we are" Morgan smiled and they headed inside.

Derek showered and got dressed and then sat in the living room to wait for Emily. After a while his jaw dropped when Emily walked down wearing a red dress.
"Wow" he mouthed and she smiled slightly shy.

"Can we go now?" She said.

"We sure can" Derek smiled and they headed out.

They had an amazing time at dinner. Derek loved how their conversations would just flow.
He smiled looking at that woman in front of him. Emily looked stunning.

"Have I ever told you how beautiful you are?" Derek asked her and she blushed.
"It's like you don't even realize that" he said. "You are beautiful Emily" he said now serious.

"Thank you" Emily said.

The night went on and soon enough they were back at Emily's house. The house was so quiet.
Emily walked in and set up the alarm. When she turned around she found Derek staring at her.

"So... we have this whole place to ourselves" Derek said.

Emily smiled. She simply walked to him and kissed him on the lips. They started making out. Emily took Derek's blazer off and unbuttoned his shirt.

"Bed" he said and they ran upstairs giggling like two teenagers. Soon enough they were on the bed together.

Emily ripped Derek's shirt off as he got on top of her and kissed her.
Derek's hand was slowly moving down her body. He quickly unzipped her dress. It was all happening fast. Emily felt Derek's hand on her torso. She felt so good. Derek always knew how to make her feel amazing.
But then, his hand lightly touched the scar that was left behind by the piece of wood Ian Doyle stabbed her with. She winced involuntarily, not from pain but the memory of Doyle. It was the first time they had sex that she was only wearing underwear. All the other times she had a shirt on.

"Are you okay? Is it too much?" Derek stopped and asked.

Emily thought for a moment and then kissed him. She didn't want it to stop.

Derek moved his hand down her belly and soon was right where she wanted him to be. She felt so good. It was an electric feeling that caused her to let out a little gasp.
Derek began to slowly explore her insides, and she let out a gentle moan as he did.
Suddenly he pulled his pants and boxers down.

"My turn," Emily said. She flipped him on his back, and started to move her hand up and down his penis. As she stroke it, she started kissing him.

"Down" Derek said flipping her over. He made sure she was prepared and went for it. Emily moaned in pleasure. Suddenly she remembered.

"Derek. Condom" she said.

Morgan pulled out of her and opened the second drawer of her nightstand and pulled one out. He quickly put it on and got back on top of her. He held her boob and kissed her mouth. Emily opened her legs and he went back in and started to move back and forth as she moaned.

"Oh Derek" Emily said sounding like she was in intense pleasure.

Derek kept going back and forth and soon he had cum. He kissed her and she smiled.
"Your turn" he said smiling. He started to rub her clit and Emily started feeling even more pleasure. He kissed her neck and started making his way down. The action surprised her, he had never gone down on her before.

"What are you doing?" Her tone was a mix of curiosity and surprise.

He ignored it. Then she felt his tongue lick her clit. She let out a little gasp. His tongue ran along a few more times. Then she felt his finger go in again, she let out a gentle moan. Then his mouth moved up to her clitoris and sucked hard on it. Emily let out a loud cry and locked her legs around his head. He moved his head closer and deeper into her.
Soon she reached it and felt her entire body shake.

Derek kissed her and then laid next to her. She rested her head on his chest.

"Wow" Emily said surprised with what had just happened. It was different that time. It was the first time he had made her feel that good.

"Is there anything else about you that I should know?" Emily asked him as he wrapped her in his arms.

"Let's save it for another date night" Derek smiled.
