Gone-Ch 1
Penelope Garcia Morgan rubbed her stomach as she headed toward her car, she had just finished with her final doctor appointment before her daughters due date. She was so excited as she slid behind the steering wheel, she knew that she shouldn't be driving but the team was on it's way home from a case and Fran had to go out of town to help care for her sick aunt so Penelope decided that she would drive the 10 miles to the doctors office.
Little did she know that a few cars behind her was a woman that was going to change her life forever, she turned on the radio and was singing as she turned off of the highway. The car behind her started getting closer and closer and finally bumped her car, she quickly pulled her car over and climbed out behind the wheel and started checking it for damages.
The woman got out and said, "I'm so sorry I didn't" and Penelope said, "Jordan Todd is that you"?, she said, "it sure is, how are you"?, Penelope rubbed her stomach and said, "due in a few days as a matter of fact". Jordan grinned and said, "awwwww that's sweet, so I take it you're married"?, Penelope nodded her head and said, "yes, Derek and I got married a year ago".
Jordan said, "it's about time you and Derek got together", Penelope laughed and said, "tell me about it" as she pulled her cell out of her pocket and started to dial. Jordan said, "it's okay I already called and help will be here in a few minutes", Penelope put her cell back into her pocket and said, "good, it's not a good thing for me to be broke down this close to my due date".
She nodded her head and said, "very true, soooooo where's Derek and the team"?, she said, "coming home from a case, they'll be home in a couple of hours after being away for almost 2 weeks". Jordan said, "with you this close to delivery do you think it's a good idea that you be driving"?, she said, "it's okay, I got the okay for this one trip by my doctor".
Jordan looked and saw a toe truck pulling in and said, "heyyyyy our help's here", Penelope said, "here let me get my insurance card and", Jordan stepped closer and jabbed a needle into her arm. Penelope said, "Jordan what are you doing"?, the men jumped out of the tow truck and grabbed Penelope and helped her to the car.
Penelope said, "d d don't do this Jordan", Jordan said, "just relax Penelope in a little while all of this will be over", Penelope felt very heavy as she was put into the car. She tried to move and Jordan said, "don't worry the meds won't hurt my baby", Penelope said, "y y your baby"?, Jordan nodded her head and said, "that's right my baby, my baby with Derek".
She felt her eyes getting heavy and Jordan smiled and said, "get that car hooked up and get rid of it", the man smiled and said, "on it" as they started hooking the car onto the cables so they could pull it away. Jordan climbed into the drivers seat and looked at the now sleeping Penelope and said, "soon Penelope soon" and before pulling out she put her hand on Penelopes stomach and said, "it's alright little girl, mommy's here, mommy's here".
About half an hour later Jordan pulled her car into the garage and waited on the men to get Penelope out of the car, as they opened the door she said, "remember be very careful with her she's carrying my child". The men gently got her out of the car and carried her inside and put her down on the hospital bed, Jordan then watched as the nurse hooked Penelope up to an IV.
Jordan said, "is everything ready"?, the scared nurse said, "y y yes, just let me know when you're ready to start the Pitocin drip", Jordan said, "start it now, start it now", the woman nodded her head and said, "y y yes mam". As the nurse started the drip Jordan said, "how long before my baby will be here"?, the nurse said, "contractions might take a while, it could take several shots before her water breaks and the contractions actually start".
The nurse watched as Jordan started pacing back and forth across the room, she then turned to face her and said, "how long, how long"?, the nurse said, "it could take up to 12 hours or longer before the meds work". Jordan smiled and rubbed her hands together and said, "good, good, I can't wait to hold my daughter in my arms", she then turned around and looked at her men and said, "make sure everything is ready in the nursery", they nodded their heads as they turned around and headed out to do what their boss had told them to do.
Jordan sat down beside Penelope and put her hand on her growing stomach and said, "soon little one, soon" as she started stroking Penelopes tummy
