Lilac (Criminal Minds Fanfiction)

Penelope's

[The scene opens up inside Lilac's apartment. Garcia and Morgan stand in the small living room of the apartment while Lilac was in her bedroom, the only one in the apartment. The scene starts with Lilac walking around her room grabbing shirts, pants, and socks and putting them into a black duffle bag. She grabs a few more items then walks up to her bed-side table. She picks up a picture frame that has two pictures in it. The main picture in the back is of her and her family. The smaller picture in the front is a picture of her and Sebastian. She stares at it for a while before she turns and puts it into her bag. The scene changed to Garcia and Morgan.]

(Morgan) "So."

"So?"

"You profiled earlier."

"Derek don't start with me."

"Oh come on baby girl. You can't expect me not to. So come on, spill it. How did you know?"

"You're not getting that information out of me that easily."

"Oh don't worry, I have a back up plan if this doesn't work." [Morgan smirks]

"Okay fine." [Garcia playfully rolls her eyes] "I just felt something. I don't know. I felt the loss I did when I lost my parents and I could just tell."

"Yep, you're definitely a profiler now. Next thing you know you'll be out here with the rest of up chasing down the bad guys."

"Derek, I can barely look at a picture of a gun. I don't think that'll be happening anytime soon."

"You never know Penelope."

[Lilac walks into the room with her bag]

(Lilac) "Are you two a couple?"

(Garcia) "Oh, us? No. We're just really good friends."

[Lilac smirks] "mmhmm. I've heard that before, two months later there was a baby on the way and a wedding being planned."

[Morgan and Garcia look at each other and smile]

(Garcia) "It's uh--- its not like that."

(Lilac) "Sure it's not. Either way, let's go. I'm ready."

[Morgan walks out of the apartment into the hallway first then follows Lilac and Garcia. Lilac locks the door then her and Garcia walk ahead of Morgan. Morgan smiles and laughs.]

(Morgan) [quietly] "Two months huh?"

[The scene fades out and reopens with Hotch, Rossi, JJ, Prentiss, and Reid walking out.]

(Rossi) "Do you really think sending that girl home with Penelope is a good idea?"

(Hotch) "Well, Morgan is with her. She's safe."

(Prentiss) "Sounds like a nice little family to me."

(Reid) "She did call them couple of the year."

(Hotch) [laughs] "They're professional."

(Rossi) "Yeah but I'm still betting on that love child."

(JJ) "I'll put my money on the same."

[Hotch smiles and walks away from the rest. The scene fades out. The new scene fades in with Garcia, Morgan, and Lilac are walking into the main room of Penelope's apartment. In the room is a couch and further on is Penelope's bedroom.]

(Morgan) "Hey baby girl, do you have a roll away bed or anything for Lilac. If not I can go get one. She can sleep on that and I'll take the couch."

(Lilac) "Oh no, I'm totally fine on the couch. Why don't you two sleep in there and I take the couch. I really don't mind and I don't want you guys going through extra trouble for me."

(Garcia) "Hey, you are not any trouble and it's fine. We can go to the store down the street and get a little roll away bed for you to sleep on."

(Lilac) "No seriously, as long as you two are okay sleeping in the same bed then I really actually prefer the couch. Sometimes I leave my bedroom and sleep on the couch instead when I'm at my apartment."

[Morgan walks closer to Garcia]

(Morgan) "How do you feel about it Penelope?"

(Garcia) "Are you okay with it?"

(Morgan) "I think it'll be fine. There's a teenage girl just a few feet away, I'm sure well be okay."

[Both smile]

(Garcia) "Okay, but are you sure you'll be okay on the couch?"

(Lilac) "I promise. Plus you're doing enough for me anyways."

(Morgan) "it's really no problem Lauren."

[Lilac looks down then a bit harshly speaks to Morgan] "Lilac, not Lauren."

(Morgan) "I'm sorry I--"

(Lilac) "Yeah."

(Garcia) "okay well I'll give you some space, there's a bathroom through there and there's a pull curtain that goes across there if you want some privacy."

(Lilac) "okay."

[Morgan and Garcia walk into Garcia's bedroom. Morgan motions for Garcia to follow him into the bathroom. He shuts the door behind them]

(Morgan) "You're sure you're okay with this?"

(Garcia) "Derek, you're here so I know im safe and I have a feeling she hasn't felt safe in a while. I know how she lives. I was once like her except I was even older."

(Morgan) "okay. I'm proud of you Penelope. You've done a lot today that you usually don't do and you've done it well."

(Garcia) "Thanks." [She smiles and Morgan stares at her eyes. He walks a bit closer to her and put his arms around her waist. She puts her arms over his shoulders.]

(Morgan) "I mean it Penelope. You're just... amazing."

(Garcia) "I love you Derek Morgan."

[Garcia reaches up and kisses Morgan on the cheek then leans her head on his chest.]

(Morgan) "I love you Penelope Garcia."

[Morgan kisses her on the top of the head and the scene fades out.]
