Penelope Garcia was free and flamboyant, or at least that was how she put it when, again, a date failed. She liked the single life, or so she said. She'd had a hard breakup with Kevin, one that had left her burning in a bit of broken heart pieces. One, her best friend, had pulled her out of, dusted her down and showed her the dance of life again.
It was ever since that, that the pair became inseparable again. They were well and truly in one another's pockets. When he had a date with a girl, he'd ask her for advice and the same went for when she had a date. It was the new way they rolled.
When Penelope woke up that morning, she knew she didn't feel 100%, but she didn't want to just bail on work without giving it a try. So she got up in true Penelope fashion, of near enough throwing the alarm in to a wall, and proceeded to go to the bathroom. She jumped in the shower and still she didn't feel right.
Ignoring it, she climbed out and dressed in a simple flowing yellow dress, one that stopped at her knew and looked killer with heels. She proceeded to set her hair in simple curls. The way she was feeling, she didn't want to be bothered with trying to clip it there, and fix here, she just wanted simplicity. Leaving her make up to her trademark eyeliner and ruby lipstick, Penelope left for work.
She went to get coffee on the way to the bureau, but the idea of coffee didn't settle right with her. So she ended up leaving it be.
Walking into work, she didn't feel sociable. She wanted to sit, she'd only been out of her bed about 3 hours and already she was wishing to be back in it.
"Good Morning Baby Girl." She heard from behind her.
"Hey." She said as she continued to walk passed Derek.
"Pump those brakes woman." Penelope stopped, this was like a scene in her life already, déjà vu settled in and Derek picked up on it too. "Pen, what's up? Where's my normal morning greeting eh?"
Penelope turned back. "Sorry Pudding Cup, I'm not feeling great this morning." She went over to him, gave him a smile. "I'll show you a good morning Hot Stuff." She proceeded to tell him. "That better?"
"Much." He replied with a smile. "Now what's bringing you down Goddess?"
"Not sure, I think my hard drives a little too heavy and my software needs a break."
"Silly Girl." He breathed out at her with a small smile and pushed her towards her office. "In you go, get settled and I'll pick you up a drink."
"No coffee, I don't think my stomach can handle it."
"Sure thing Sugar." He said and he went to leave, but Penelope gasped and he turned back hastily to see her nursing her stomach. "Baby Girl, what's a matter?"
"I don't know. It hurts, that's all." She said and he could hear she was pain and then was fine. "All better now."
"Penelope..." He asked, worry mounting on his mind.
"Derek..." She responded to him and then bent down to turn on her computers. "I'm fine; it might just be my period."
"Are you due? I thought you weren't due for..."
"Two days Handsome. It's not unusual to be a few days before or after." She breezed at him with a smile.
Since Derek and her had reinstated one another into their lives, he knew everything her body was doing and when. He'd even brought her hot water bottles and pain meds when the cramps and back aches rendered her a ball on the couch. To say the least, she liked Derek knowing those types of things. She got looked after really well for it.
"Sure?"
"Positive." She told him and smiled. "Now where's Mama's cup of whatever her God of a man is gonna make her?"
"Still in the kitchenette." He told her casually and walked back in towards her. "You know what?"
"No I don't know what." Penelope teased him as he got closer to her.
He laughed but continued. "I'm taking you for dinner tonight."
Penelope cocked a brow at that. "Oh yeah. What's the occasion?"
"I'll think of one, but for now let's go for… celebrating us." Derek claimed and Penelope smiled a little at the gestured. "Then we're gonna dance some..."
"And you're gonna go and bump and grind and pick up some drop dead gorgeous Barbie." Penelope finished and put her hand to his hip, cocking her hip out as she did so and she smirked. "I know the deal. I'm used to it."
"Tonight, I only have plans to take you home with me." Derek told her, completely flooring her in one easily spoken sentence and then left to get her a drink.
Penelope just sat down gently and turned to her computer and tried to take her mind off thinking too far into that sentence that Derek had spoken.
When Derek came back in he saw her massaging her stomach, while her other hand ran across her forehead. He could swear she was sweating. He could hear her breathing, and then it was over and she looked up.
"Here's my Hunk of Burning Love." She said, not mentioning what was just going on with her.
"I'm not giving you this, until you tell me what the hell is wrong with you today. I'm getting a little bit worried."
"What that this Goddess will cancel on her God tonight?" She teased with a coy grin.
"No, I'm serious Baby. What the hell is a matter? If you're ill maybe you shouldn't be in." Derek told her and went over to her. "I mean, Hotch won't mind. Case or no case."
"There's a case?" He nodded grudgingly. "We better go Handsome, the rest of the Superheroes need you, The Super Fox, to help them with this."
"Fine, but, if after the briefing you're no better, you're going straight home."
"I get it. Really I do."
"So we strike a deal?"
"I guess so." Penelope told him and he left to tell Hotch they were just coming. She was gathering her things up as she stood but had to stop as another pain hit her, ricocheting from the bottom of her stomach around to back. She was starting to worry herself, but until she was completely paralysed with the pain, she had a job to do.
Derek watched Penelope the whole time through the briefing. She kept flexing, running a hand over her stomach, around to her back and back again. Gently plying pressure all over. He kept his frown, but got on with fixing the profile together.
"Shit!" Penelope said as one of the pains intensified and tears began to build. Now the pain was unbearable. "Ow!" She groaned as she tried to get up, to leave the room, to allow them to continue, just minus her.
Derek having heard her first groan of major pain was up and over with her within seconds. Hotch had stopped his sentence and was beginning to worry about Penelope. He'd noticed from the moment she had walked in that something wasn't right with her complexion. As had everyone else.
"Garcia what's a matter?" Hotch finally asked as Penelope calmed and she looked even more exhausted than before.
"I'm fine Boss Man, honestly." Penelope said a little strained as she pushed Derek off of her and pulled herself back to the table. "I'm perfectly fine."
"Far from it." Hotch commented. "Back and abdomen pain Reid?" He asked the youngster who was sitting opposite Penelope.
"Erm, normally it could mean a rupturing appendix, but her pains not consistent. Medically, it could be a number of thing from gall stones, to ruptured kidney, cysts, masses in the abdomen." Hotch looked at Penelope who sat with wide, terror filled eyes.
"Let's get you to the hospital Garcia." He finally decided, if it were any of the things Reid had listed, he knew full well that if left, they could be potentially fatal.
"Really Sir, I think it's girlie problems, that or I ate something dodgy. Something not's sitting well and is giving me hell for it."
"Garcia, I'm with Hotch, I think we need to get you checked over before we do anything else." Rossi agreed and soon both Emily and JJ were agreeing.
Penelope just ended up nodding as she gave in.
Derek helped her as she pushed her chair out, only he and Hotch were going, Rossi was going to deal with Strauss and the others were left to build what they could of the profiler. The case being near fitted in well.
Penelope stood up slowly and began to walk out of the door, before a feeling radiated around her abdomen, hitting her back and going back to her stomach. Derek caught her as she tensed up and her legs went weak. It was happening too fast now, and his worry was slowly driving him insane.
He wanted to know what was going on with his Baby Girl.
Making it to the hospital, Penelope kept him with her as Hotch waited. She hated theses places, and the last thing she wanted was to be alone in one, with an unknown illness.
Derek watched as Penelope was made to change and then laid out on an examining table. A nurse came in and laid a blanket over Penelope; they'd filled in the relevant details and such and now just needed to work towards a prognosis.
"Right we have bloods running, but I need to do a physical examination to see if there's anything." Penelope nodded wordlessly and just grabbed Derek's hand as the nurse lifted the gown so only her abdomen was on show. The nurse began to feel around and her face contorted. "Right you're swollen that's for sure."
"What could that mean?" Derek asked as let Reid's list circulate in his head again.
"It could mean multiple things. Physical examination doesn't mean we..." The nurse couldn't finish as Penelope groaned out loud and her back arched a little as her muscles contorted. "Miss Garcia, I need you to tell me what the pain is like on a scale of one to ten."
"Eight, maybe more." Penelope told her through gritted teeth. "Please make this stop." She pleaded as tears finally escaped, this was getting worse. Even Derek could see that. "Please."
"Miss Garcia, before I can do that I need to finish examining you." When the pain subsided, she carried on, finding where Penelope was most tender. Derek watched the nurses face. "Right I will be right back." She said and left, the pair didn't get chance to call her.
"Oh God, this isn't good." Penelope began to cry, her emotions were running rapid right now. She wanted to cry from the pain, she wanted to sleep this day away; she wanted to scream with the feeling that kept hitting her.
"Shh, it'll be fine." Derek soothed he and watched the nurse walking back in with a doctor.
"Hi, I'm Dr Fitzpatrick." He said and went over to Penelope. "I've been told you're experiencing abdominal tension and pain Miss Garcia?" He asked Penelope, and Penelope nodded as she felt another one coming and Derek held her in his arms.
The doctor examined Penelope once she was over the pain and then looked at her seriously. "Miss Garcia, do you mind if I do an internal examination?"
"Do whatever you need to do to make this stop, please." She said completely spent as she stayed in Derek's arms. The nurse prepared it all and the doctor got ready.
One look and he sat back up. "Good Lord." They heard him say.
"What?" Penelope said as she sat up nervously.
"Call ahead to maternity." He said and Penelope's eyes widened. "Miss Garcia, you're 4 centimetre's dilated."
"I'm what?" She near enough screamed.
Derek felt himself shake at those words. He didn't need to be a genius to know what was going to come from the doctor's mouth next.
"You're in labour." He said and watched as Penelope passed out.
