Chapter 58: A Spark
Later that night, they said goodbye to the team and their friends and headed home. Isabella was exhausted and ended up falling asleep in the car.
"I'll carry her" Derek said when they arrived home.
"We're gonna have to wake her up. She needs to take all this make off" Emily said walking to the side Bella was. She opened the door and woke Isabella up.
"Come on, honey. We're home" Emily said when Bella opened her eyes. The girl got out and they headed inside.
"Bell, go shower" Emily told the girl. Bella headed to the bathroom looking like she was asleep on her feet and Emily and Derek laughed.
The grownups got changed and sat to watch tv while Bella showered. When the girl finished she walked in the living room and Emily took her make up off.
"You're not wearing that again till you're at least 18" Emily said and everyone laughed.
They finished watching a movie and then headed to bed. Isabella laid down next to her mother and smiled.
"What's with that face?" Emily asked smiling too.
"Nothing" Bella said and hugged Emily, hiding her face on her mother's stomach.
"You were amazing" Emily said and Bella looked up. She smiled pushing hair away from her daughter's face so she could look in her eyes.
The smile on Isabella's face made her smile even bigger.
"I love you" Emily said.
"I love you too mom" Bella said and hid her face again.
In little time they were asleep.

(Saturday)
Saturday was a big day. Penelope woke up early in the morning and with the help of Derek and JJ she took all her boxes to her apartment.
Isabella woke up around 10 to find Emily making pancakes in the kitchen.
"Where's everyone?" The little girl asked as she walked to her mother.
"They went to Penelope's place" Emily said as she wrapped Bella in a hug.
They ate breakfast and then went to Bella's bedroom.
"We need to pack your things" Emily said.
"Are we taking all my things?" Bella asked siting on the bed.
Emily could see the girl was nervous. "Not all, honey." She said and took a spot next to Bella.
"You can leave some clothes, some books and some little things if you want. Like your plushes, but most of it needs to go"
"Okay" Bella said looking around the room. Suddenly Emily grabbed her hand.
"It's going to be okay" Emily said with a sad smile. Bella nodded and hugged her mom. "Come on, help me out" Emily said and they stood up and grabbed a few boxes.
They spend the morning packing. Around 1pm, Derek, Penelope and JJ arrived. JJ took Henry with her. The little boy ran to Bella when they got there.
"Henry!" Bella said and hugged him.
"Let's play" Henry said excited.
They were about to go to her bedroom when Emily said "backyard guys" and the kids headed there followed by Lulu.
Derek ordered lunch while the women took the boxes to the car. Soon everyone sat together to eat.
"Mom, Chloe asked if I wanted her to help me with my bedroom today" Bella said. "Can she go with us?"
"Sure. You can invite Gavin too if you want. The pool is clean so if you guys want to go there later while we work it's okay" Emily said and Bella smiled and texted her friends.
So later that day they headed to the new Prentiss's house. Gavin and Chloe met Bella there and they absolutely loved the house. Spencer also arrived to help. Derek and Emily went to her old apartment to meet with the movers and soon enough they were unpacking everything in the new house.
The kids helped with the move and around 6pm decided to go to the pool. So while the kids played in the backyard the grownups worked.

Emily was putting up the curtains in the big room on the third floor when she spotted the kids playing on the swing set. She smiled as she saw them laughing.
"She's so happy" JJ said walking to Emily. Emily smiled as they watched the kids play.
"Em, your room is ready" Penelope said walking in. Derek and Spencer followed her.
"What are you two doing?" Derek asked walking to them. He smiled when he saw.
"You better get used to that view" Penelope said and everyone laughed as Bella ran around and Lulu chased her. Suddenly the girl tripped and fell. Bella looked up and spotted them watching her. She smiled and waved. Her friends laughed and then she followed them to the pool and jumped in. Lulu jumped after her.
"Oh my God! She's swimming!" Bella said excited. "Mom!" Bella yelled.
Emily opened the window.
"Look! She's swimming" Bella said and Emily laughed.
The kids went back to playing and Emily closed the window.
"You two are gonna have a happy life here, my friend" Penelope said hugging Emily.
"You will. But not in this room. This place looks awful" Derek said and they laughed.
"I don't know what to do. It didn't really turn out how I wanted it to" Emily said.
"You wanted it to be for Bella, right? This looks too grownup" JJ said.
"How about we make a deal? You give me this room and your debit card for tomorrow and I'll work my magic" Penelope said.
Everyone laughed.
Emily grabbed Garcia's arm. "Deal" she said and they walked out of the room.
"I wanna help!" Spencer said and they laughed. Reid looked at JJ and smiled.

JJ went home around 10pm. The others headed to Derek's house around 11pm. They dropped Gavin, Spencer and Chloe off. When they arrived at home Bella was asleep.
"This one is out" Garcia said with a smile.
Derek carried Bella to bed. He placed her down and looked around the room. It was weird seeing it so empty. Bella had left a few books and plushes on the shelves and a few things on her desk. He looked at the sleeping girl and felt sad thinking that was her last night there.
Suddenly Emily walked in.
"Everything okay?" Emily asked him.
"Yeah" he said covering Bella up and placing a kiss on her cheek.
"Goodnight Em" he said and walked out. Emily followed him. "Are you okay?" She asked him.
"Yeah" he said. By the look on his face Emily just knew.
"Well, you're her dad now so don't worry. She'll want to sleep in here more often that you'll like" Emily said and Derek laughed.
Derek hugged her and Emily felt a little different and it was a little awkward.
"Just take care of her" he said and let go of the hug.
"I will" Emily said staring right at his eyes. She felt like she was being pulled to him.
Suddenly Penelope walked in.
"Everything okay?" She asked.
"Yeah. I'm gonna go to bed" Emily said quickly.
"Goodnight" Garcia said and hugged her.
"Goodnight guys" Emily said and went to get her clothes.
She showered and then went to bed. She laid down and wrapped her daughter in her arms. Thinking about what happened when she was talking to Derek made her feel strange. It was a feeling she wasn't used to.
"Am i falling for him?" She asked herself.

Around 3:45am Bella woke up from a nightmare. She could feel herself shaking. She went to the bathroom and washed her face. When she walked back in the room Emily was sitting on the bed waiting for her.
"Are you okay?" She asked when she saw Bella's sad face.
The girl shook her head no and went to her mother's arms. She sat on Emily's lap and started crying.
"Oh honey" Emily said feeling bad.
"I'm scared mommy" Bella said.
"Scared of what?" Emily asked.
"Of Derek not being there" Bella said honestly.
"I'll be there. You're safe, Bells. It's okay now. You're safe. I won't let anything bad happen to you" Emily said.
"It's scary to think it's my last night here. I feel safe here" Bella said.
"It's not your last night here. I already said you can come here, honey." Emily said and Bella still looked a bit sad.
"Bella, you were so happy at the house yesterday. And it's not like many things will change. You'll just live in another house with me. That's all. You'll see Morgan and Garcia all the time. I promise you that. You have nothing to worry about" Emily said with a smile.
"I love you. And I promise you that everything will be okay" Emily said.
Bella wiped her tears and Emily hugged her again.
"Everything will be okay" Emily said.
They laid back on the bed and were soon back asleep.

Sunday was the big day.
Emily woke Isabella up at 7:45 that morning. They had a busy day ahead of them.
They had breakfast and headed to Emily's house to finish organizing the last details. They did that till around 10:30am when Penelope walked in the living room and basically kicked Emily and Bella out of the house so she could work on the 3rd floor.
"Come on. You're done here. Go to the mall, watch a movie, have lunch. Do whatever you guys want but do it out of this house" Garcia said.
So to the mall they went.

They went back home at 3:45 and Bella was excited to see what they had done.
"So your mom said that she wanted this to be like a playroom slash school room for you soooooo I hope you like it" Garcia said before she opened the door.
Bella smiled and walked inside. Her face just lit up. The room was awesome.
"Derek gave me the idea to divide it so you could have a little quiet place for your little office." Penelope said.
The room was really big so in one of the corners Derek make another small room. In there were Bella's school things and her desk. In the bigger room she had her toys, books, plushes and minifigures. Everything was organized in shelves. In the center of a wall she had a big tv with an Xbox connected to it.
"You gave me your video game?" Bella asked Derek when she saw it.
"No. That's a brand new one. Consider a house warming gift" he said and everyone laughed.
Bella looked around and loved how everything was so her. Penelope always knew the right thing to do and the room was amazing. She had a big couch and a bunch of bean bags and pillows around. She ran and sat in one.
"Can we play one game?" Bella asked excited.
"We sure can" Penelope said and ran to sit next to the girl.
They played "Just Dance" together while the other watched and laughed at them dancing.
Around 5, Derek suggested to go get some ice cream so they headed out. They had a really fun time and Bella went on and on about how much she loved her bedroom and her playroom. When they finished they dropped Spencer off and went to Derek's house to get Lulu and Sergio.
Emily put the cat on his carrier and put Lulu in the car.
The moment had finally come.
They were finally going home.
