Armed And Dangerous-Ch 2
Derek gently pressed his fingers on her reddened neck and said, "hang on baby girl, hang on", he pulled his cell off his side and quickly dialed 911 and after he had help on the way for Penelope he said, "help's on the way goddess". He looked down at her and said, "please don't give up baby, you can't leave me, I can't lose you,
not now, not ever".
About an hour later Derek is sitting by her bedside holding her hand, he brings it up to his lips and gently presses his lips to it and says, "gorgeous you need to open those beautiful eyes and let me know that you are alright". He sat there watching, hoping that her eyes would open but unfortunately they didn't, he wiped his eyes and looked up when the door opened and a doctor stepped inside.
Derek said, "how is she"?, the doctor took a deep breath and said, "she suffered a lot of damage to her throat from the choking", Derek said, "why won't she wake up doctor"?, he said, "she should wake up anytime but she won't be able to talk or at least she shouldn't talk". Derek nodded his head and said, "was she, uhhhhhhh did he" and the doctor said, "no she wasn't raped, the kit was negative".
He gave a silent prayer of thanks after hearing that the sick freak that had hurt his baby girl hadn't raped her, the doctor said, "as you can see the brusing to her neck is pretty bad but in time those bruises will heal". Penelopes eyes started opening and Derek said, "it's alright goddess I'm here, I'm here", she tried to speak but no words would come out.
The doctor said, "Ms. Garcia my name is Dr. Craig Norris and I need you to stay calm and not try to talk", she nodded her head as she listened to him, he said, "there was some damage done and that caused swelling and that's why you can't talk right now". Derek said, "don't worry sweetness when the swelling goes down you will be as good as new".
She looked up at Derek and when he saw the tears streaming down her face he said, "he didn't rape you baby", she closed her eyes and he reached over and gently wiped away the tears. The doctor said, "I have you on something for pain and some steroids to help with the swelling", she nodded her head yes and listened as he continued by saying, "your vitals are all good but I want to keep you for a few days just to keep an eye on the swelling to your neck".
Penelope swallowed and pain shot through her neck and throat, Derek said, "you are bruised to baby girl but in a few days that will be gone", he touched her cheek and said, "you are still the most beautiful woman I have ever seen". The doctor said, "I'll be back in a little while to check on you but if you need anything please just let the nurses know".
Derek looked at the doctor and said, "is it okay if I stay with her"?, he said, "yeah, sure that won't be a problem", he said, "thank you doctor", he said, "you are very welcome". As he headed to the door he looked over his shoulder and said, "are you hungry Ms. Garcia"?, she nodded her head and he said, "I'll get you a tray of soft food ordered" and then continued walking out the door.
Derek sat down beside Penelopes bed and said, "it's going to be alright baby and I promise when I find whoever did this they are going to pay", she moved her fingers letting him know that she wanted a pencil and paper. He quickly got them and put them in front of her and he watched as she wrote down everything that happened to her from the time she walked into the apartment till she woke up at the hospital.
Derek said, "this is all my fault, if only I'd went with you", she pointed her finger at him and wrote on the paper, "NOT YOUR FAULT", he said, "how can you say that sweetness, this is all on me". She shook her head no and he opened his mouth to say something and that is when the rest of the team came into the room, JJ, Emily and Reid practically ran to her bedside while Hotch and Dave stepped into the hallway with Derek.
He looked in and said, "no talking goddess, remember what the doctor told us", she nodded her head yes and started answering their questions by writing the answers down. Reid said, "we're waiting on them to give us the security footage from your building, she then wrote, "GET ME A COMPUTER AND I'LL FIND IT", Reid looked at her and said "I'll be right back" and then headed out of the room.
Derek said, "where are you going pretty boy"?, he said, "going to go get Garcia a computer", Derek grinned as he watched Reid heading off to the car to grab his baby girl a computer. Dave and Hotch then listened as Derek filled them in on everything that Penelope had wrote down, Hotch then said, "we are waiting on the security footage from Penelopes building".
Derek said, "I need to stay with her Hotch, she can't be left alone", Dave said, "don't worry she won't be alone, I've already added more security and I've already called your mom so when we can't be with kitten your mom will be". Derek took a deep breath and said, "when I find this sick bastard he is going to pay for what he did".
Dave nodded his head and said, "you'll have to stand in line" before the three men walked into the room to spend some time with Penelope, little did they know that the man that had attacked Penelope was a few feet away from them watching every move they made.
