"Why am I the elf and you Santa, though?" Morgan asked as he and Reid arrived at Quantico Children's Hospital carrying a Santa suit and an elf costume.

"Because you make a cute elf," Reid teased. Morgan stuck his tongue out at his boyfriend, but decided not to argue. They had volunteered to hand out presents to kids who were stuck in the hospital over Christmas. It was a good cause and Derek could definitely get behind it. Entering the hospital, he followed Spencer who seemed to know where he was going.

"It's nice to see you back Spencer. I see you brought an elf this time?" commented a pretty redhead as she greeted Spencer at the desk they'd stopped at.

"Hi there, Amanda. This is my friend and colleague, Derek Morgan. He's going to help me hand out the gifts this year.

"This year? You mean you've done this before, Pretty Boy?" Morgan asked. Spencer nodded shyly.

"He's been Santa for the last three years," Amanda supplied.

"But why didn't you tell any of us?" Morgan wondered.

"I don't know. It was just nice to have this as my own thing, you know?"

"I understand," Morgan replied.

"You must be pretty important to Spencer for him to include you," Amanda. The two men shared a smile before heading off to change into their costumes while Amanda went to make sure the children were gathered in their play room.

"Are you guys ready to see Santa Clause and his elf?" Amanda asked the young kids who were sitting eagerly around her. A chorus of yes's met her ears. The sound of jingling bells could be heard.

"I hear the bells, he's coming!" called a little girl who had a scarf covering her head. All the kids shifted so they could see Santa and his elf walk into the room.

"Ho-Ho! Merry Christmas!" Reid called out in his best Santa voice.

"Merry Christmas, Santa!" all the kids called back.

"Have all you kids been good this year? You know Santa only gives kids to good little boys and girls." The children nodded and smiled.

"Is that a real elf?" one little boy asked in awe.

"Yep, I'd like you to meet, Derek, he's my head elf," Reid explained.

"Can you say hi?" Amanda prompted.

"Hi, Derek," all the kids replied.

"Hi, kids, why don't we all form a line and Santa and I will start handing out presents," he instructed. Quickly the kids scrambled to do what they'd been told and before long, the two profiler's were handing out gifts and putting smiles on little kids face's some whose hadn't smiles on them in a long time. Doing this brought a smile to both Santa's and his elf's face as well. Christmas was a wonderful time for giving to those who were less fortunate than you, and that's what Morgan and Reid intended to do.

Finished!
