Garcia remained unconscious for the trip to the hospital. She was stable but Derek was in shock. Why did this happen to his baby girl. When the ambulance arrived at the hospital, Derek was told by doctors to wait in the waiting room while Penelope was being looked at. He walked over to a chair as the stretcher holding Penelope disappeared into a hallway. He put his head in his hands and stayed there. He didn't pay any attention to the nurses running around him. He didn't notice the team run into the hospital. JJ saw Derek and walked over to him she put her arm around him and pulled him close. "Derek, stop doing this to yourself. It's not your fault. Everyone gets sick from time to time but Penelope is strong. In no time, she will want us to make her room pink and glittery." JJ smiled when Derek looked up at her. "JJ, why did she want Reid and not me? She's always wanted me to come to her rescue but I keep asking myself why- JJ Why is he here?" Derek pointed to the small man who had just walked into the hospital. He was about to stand up and give Kevin a piece of his mind when a nurse came out of the hallway.
"Penelope Garcia" the nurse asked. In 2 seconds she was surrounded by the team and Kevin. Everyone was asking questions and the nurse was trying to speak. "EVERYONE, PLEASE BE QUIET!" The team looked over to see Spencer away from the group with a sheepish look on his face. "We need to know what's wrong with Garcia and you weren't letting the nurse speak." He finished. Everyone looked back at the nurse.
"Thank you. My name is Nurse Baron and as well as Doctor Johns, I have been looking after Penelope. She is conscious now and has asked for a Blonde Beauty and Boss Man, to see her. So could those two please step forward and follow Nurse Bradley to Miss Garcia's room. Everyone else please has a seat and I'll have Doctor Johns tell you why Miss Garcia is in our care." With that the nurse followed JJ and Hotch and left everyone else waiting. Derek resumed pacing around the room, Emily tried not to cry and Spencer picked up a book. Rossi remained at the office, informing Strauss of what had happened.
JJ and Hotch walked into the room where the bubbly woman lay in a hospital bed. She opened her eyes when she saw them, tears forming when they tried not to disturb her. "Please, don't let Morgan know what's wrong with me" Penelope said in a whisper. JJ picked up her chart and read. JJ looked back up at Garcia, with teary eyes. When Hotch went to see the chart, Garcia lunged for it. "No, I only want JJ to know, she won't tell anyone. Please can someone bring me my laptop? I want to help with your case from here." Hotch and JJ looked at each other and then at the blonde in the bed. Hotch cleared his throat. "Fine, only if you promise to listen to the doctors and don't be annoying." He gave her a small smile when she nodded. "ok, I'll ask Anderson or Dave to bring it over, and your go bag because I know you want to liven this dull room up." Hotch smiled again and walked out of the room. Now it was just JJ and Penelope.
JJ opened her mouth to talk but Garcia butted in. "NO, I don't want to talk about it. I don't want to share what happened. Please JJ, I want to trust you. Please don't tell anyone." She gave JJ a pair of pleading eyes. JJ sighed. "fine but will you please tell Derek yourself that your ok, because if he doesn't hear it from you, he will punch another hole in the wall.
Derek looked at the hole in the wall. He had to hid it before Hotch saw it because then Hotch would go ape shit crazy and no one wants that to happen. Doctor Johns had explained a brief explanation for Penelope's diagnosis. It would be a while when anyone would find out what really happened to Penelope.
