A Family For Christmas-Ch 2

Derek put his hand on Penelopes leg causing her to jump, he said, "baby I'm", she pulled her legs up under her and said, "I I I don't know you", he pulled his cell off his belt and quickly dialed a number. He sat there waiting for someone on the other end of the phone to answer and finally he heard, "what can I do for you Morgan"?, he said, "pretty boy I need you and Jayje to get over to our place and please hurry".

Reid said, "slow down, what's wrong"?, he said, "it's Penelope", he said, "we'll be there in a few minutes", he said, "thanks Reid" before ending the call, he then looked at Penelope and said, "don't worry ba, I mean Penelope, somebody will be here in a few minutes and hopefully they will be able to help you". Derek turned to the door when he heard someone knock.

He said, "come in", Alisha pushed the door open and said, "me want momma", Penelope looked at the heartbroken little girl and wanted with everything in her to remember the adorable little girl but no matter how hard she tried she couldn't remember anything. Derek said, "baby momma isn't feeling good right now", her bottom lip started quivering and before she started to cry Penelope held out her hands and said, "come on baby".

Alisha jumped into her mommys arms and when Penelope picked her up she wrapped her arms around her neck and hugged her tight, Derek felt his heart racing at the hopes that holding Alisha might bring back at least some of her memory. He looked at her and said, "do you remember anything"?, she looked from the little girl in her arms to the man claiming to be her husband and said, "no, nothing".

A few minutes later Austin walked into the room and said, "dad", Derek looked up and said, "yeah buddy"?, he said, "can I have some cereal, I'm hungry"?, he said, "yeah sure buddy". Austin looked at Derek and said, "is mom alright, she hasn't come downstairs yet"?, Derek said, "she isn't feelig good right now buddy that's all".

Austin looked at his sister and said, "Lisha do you want some cereal"?, she nodded her head yes and Penelope said, "why don't you go downstairs with your brother and eat okay"?, she laid her head down on her mommys chest and said, "I lub you mommy", Penelope nervously said, "I love you to baby". The little girl climbed down from her lap and ran to her brother.

Once it was just them in the room Derek said, "do you remember anything"?, she shook her head no and said, "just the dream I was having", he took a deep breath and said, "what was the dream about, maybe if we piece it together we can figure out what's wrong". She blushed and said, "it was about you and me on a beach somewhere and we were, we were".

Derek said, "ohhhhhhhh it's okay you don't have to finish", she said, "were we ever on a beach like that"?, he said, "we sure were, we went to Hawaii on our honeymoon". She covered her face and said, "I wish I could remember something, anything", he said, "so do I baby girl", she sighed and said, "how long have we been married"?, he said, "7 years".

Penelope looked around the room at all of the family pictures and said, "we look happy in the pictures", he said, "we are happy sweetness", Derek could tell that the nicknames were making her nervous so he said, "I'm sorry if I'm making you uncomfortable, I don't mean to". She said, "it's alright, I'm sorry what did you say your name was"?, he said, "Derek, Derek Morgan".

She said, "it's alright Derek", she said, "how did we meet"?, he said, "we met at work", she said, "so we work together"?, he said, "yes, we both work with the FBI, I'm a profiler and you are our tech analyst". She said, "profiler, what does a profiler do"?, he spent the next few minutes explaining both of their jobs to her before he was interrrupted by Austin saying, "DADDDDDDD, UNCLE REIDSSSSSSS HEREEEEEEEEE".

Derek said, "come on up pretty boy", Penelope looked up in time to see two more people that she didn't know walk into the room, Reid said, "what's wrong, you made it sound like life or death". Derek said, "Penelope can't remember anything, she can't remember me, us being married, the kids, nothing, she can't remember anything".

JJ walked over and said, "Penelope my name is Jeniffer Reid but you call me JJ", she weakly smiled and said, "it's nice to meet you JJ", Reid said, "okay Garcia what is the", Penelope said, "I thought you said that we were married"?, Derek said, "we are married". Penelope said, "he just called me Garcia", Reid said,
"I've always called you that and after you and Derek got married it is less confusing to just continue to call you Garcia but I can call you Penelope if you would perfer".

Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "the only thing I want is to remember", Reid looked at JJ and said, "call the rest of the team and Derek you call her doctor and see if she can come here for a checkup, tell her what's going on and see what she suggests". Derek and JJ nodded their heads yes in agreement as they left the room leaving Penelope alone with Reid.

Reid said, "Garc, I mean Penelope what is the first thing you remember"?, she sighed and said, "waking up", he said, "nothing before that"?, she shook her head no. Derek walked back into the room and said, "Shelly said that she would be here in a few minutes", Penelope laid her head against the wall and closed her eyes, she didn't know who this Shelly was but she hoped that once she got there that she could help her remember this man standing in front of her.
