It's All Coming Back To Me-Ch 2
Derek pushed the call button and the nurse said, "can I help you"?, Derek said, "it's Penelope, she's awake", the nurse said, "the doctor is on his way right now". When the doctor walked in he smiled and said, "Penelope my name is Dr. Tad Denning", she smiled up at him and he said, "how are you feeling"?, she said, "my head is killing me".
He said, "that's to be expected with your head injury", she said, "h h head injury"?, he said, "yes, didn't Derek explain that to you"?, Derek said, "doc she doesn't remember me". Tad said, "does he look familiar at all to you"?, she looked at him and said, "sorry no, no he doesn't", Derek pulled out his cell and sent a text and a few minutes later the team walked in with smiles on their faces.
Penelope looked at them and said, "do I know you"?, Reid said, "amnesia"?, Tad said, "afraid so", Penelope said, "do I know these people"?, he nodded his head and said, "yes, these are your best friends and your teammates". She said, "teammates, what do we do"?, Reid stepped forward and said, "we're all profilers with the FBI, the BAU to be exact".
She said, "me to"?, he said, "no, you're the best data analyst I've ever seen in my life", she smiled and said, "really"?, he said, "yes really", he said, "and this is my wife Jennifer but everybody calls her JJ". He then pointed at Hotch and said, "and this is our boss and friend Aaron Hotch Hotchner and his wife Emily", everybody smiled at their nervous friend.
He then pointed to Dave and said, "and this is David Rossi and his wife Fran and the man beside you is Derek Morgan, your best friend", she said, "I'm sorry but I truly don't remember you". Reid said, "don't worry that's common for head injuries", she said, "it is"?, him and Tad nodded their heads and said, "it is" in unison as they stood there trying to reassure Penelope.
Tad said, "well now that you're awake we'll run another scan and see how things are looking", Penelope said, "how long will it be before I get my memory back"?, the doctor said, "it could be a few minutes to a few days to a few months". She sadly said, "or never, right"?, he said, "let's not think that way, right now let's try to stay positive, okay"?, she nodded her head and said, "okay".
She laid there resting with her eyes closed and she could feel somebody staring at her and sure enough when she opened her eyes she saw the one that everybody was calling Derek was indeed staring at her. Penelope bit down on her bottom lip and said, "how long have we been best friends"?, Derek grinned at her and said, "for almost 10 years".
Her heart started racing and she said, "are you sure that we're only friends"?, he opened his mouth to tell her that he had been in love with her for years and Tad came in and said, "alright Penelope are you ready for your MRI"?, she said, "as ready as I'll ever be". He looked around and said, "it will only take a few minutes and then we'll bring her right back here".
Derek watched heartbrokenly as his best friend was wheeled out of the room, he felt a hand on his shoulder and he turned to see his mom standing there, she said, "just give it some time honey". Derek said, "it feels like I'm losing her again momma", Fran said, "her memory will come back in time", Derek said, "I hope so because I'm not giving up on her, on us, not again".
Hotch walked into the room and said, "that was the officer that is handling Penelopes accident", Reid said, "and what did he say"?, Hotch said, "according to witness testimony somebody purposely ran her off the road". Derek said, "who would want to hurt my baby girl"?, Hotch said, "that's a good question, I'm going to call Kevin and see if he can look up the survelience footage and see what he can find out".
Derek said, "I'm going to stay here, I don't want her to be alone", Fran said, "she's going to be fine", Derek said, "I know momma it's just", Fran put her hand on his and said, "I know honey, I know". Meanwhile across town a man slams his hand down on a table and said ,"how is she still alive, she saw something that she wasn't meant to see and now she's got to die".
Another man said, "don't worry sir we have Tad working on it right now", the man smiled and said, "well then she's definitely in good hands" and then both men laughed wickedly.
