Misunderstandings-Ch 4

Penelope woke up and for a split second she had forgotten about what had happened earlier and when she heard the sound of the train she remembered everything and started to cry. she couldn't get the sight of Tamara Barnes on her husbands lap half naked with her tongue down his throat, she couldn't help but wonder how long that had been going on and how she couldn't have seen it.

She sat in the chair by the window and watched as town after town flew by her window, she loved Derek with all of her heart and she didn't know how she was going to make it without him. She rubbed her stomach and said, "your daddy would have loved you little one and now he will never get the chance to get to know you, to hold you and to be a part of your life, he didn't want us, he wanted Tamara Barnes, she closed her eyes and let the tears stream down her face.

Reid helped Derek into his car and fastened his seatbelt before walking around the car and getting behind the wheel, Derek looked him up in the face and said,
"thanks for coming to get me Reid, you were the only person that I thought would come and get me". Reid looked at Derek and said, "did you cheat on Penelope"?,
he shook his head and said, "helllllllllll no, I love my baby girl, I would neverrrrrrr everrrrrrrrrr cheat on her".

Reid put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "I believe you, now we need to find a way to get Garcia back before she does something that you are both gonna regret. Derek laid his head back against the seat and closed his eyes. Reid put the car into drive and as he was getting ready to pull out he looked and saw Tamara Barnes walking out of the bar with a huge satisfied smile on her face.

Reid pulled out and headed back to his apartment, once he got there he helped Derek out of the car and up the stairs, he leaned Derek against the wall and said,
"stand right here and let me unlock the door". Derek saluted him and said, "yes sir, captain Reid sir", Reid rolled his eyes and said, "just how much did you have to drink before you called me"?, Derek made a funny face and said, "I had lots and lots of drinks Pretty Boy, lotssssss and lotsssssss".

Reid unlocked the door and put Derek on the couch and said, "I'm going to make some coffee, lots and lots of strong black coffee", Derek smiled and said, "you are a great friend Reid". Reid patted Dereks shoulder before heading into the kitchen, as he was making the coffee he couldn't help but remember the smug look on Tamaras face as she walked out of the bar, he knew that he needed to talk to Hotch but he wanted to get Derek sober first.

Tamara looks up to see Kevin walking into the coffee shop, she smiled and said, "thanks for meeting me Kev", he smiled and said, "I would do anything for you Tam, you know that". She sighed and said, "well things didn't go the way that I had hoped", Kevin patted her hand and said, "Derek Morgan is a fool to not want you in his bed Tam", she smiled and said, "I have done to much damage to his marriage for that stupid bitch to take him back now".

Penelope sighs sadly as she texts Chad to let him know that the train should arrive in about half an hour, after sending the text she once again removes the battery and tosses it into her bag before staring out the window again. She looks down at her wedding ring and says, "how could this have happened, how did we go soooo wrong Derek".

A half hour later she walks off the train and into the loving arms of one of her best friends Chad, he wraps his arms around her waist and kisses the top of her head and said, "I'm soooo sorry sweet pea". She looks up at him and says, "thanks so much for letting me stay with you for a while, after everything that happened I just couldn't stay home, I had to get away and have time to think", he intertwined their fingers and said, "you are more than welcome to stay with me as long as you want to honey", she sadly smiled as Chad led her to his car.

Reid carried two cups of coffee into the living room and sits them down on the table and says, "ok Morgan tell me everything that happened in your office this morning". Derek sighed as he started telling Reid exactly what happened in his office, Reid sat back and crossed his legs as he listened to his friend tell his side of the story.

When Derek had finished he said, "so she literally straddled your waist and started stripping her clothes off"?, Derek held up his hand and said, "I swear Reid that is exactly what happened, I love Penelope and I would never cheat on her". Reid looked at Derek and said, "Tamara is alot smarter than we gave her credit for, but something is bothering me", Derek looked at him as he took a sip of coffee and said, "what's bothering you Reid"?, he said, "she knew exactly what time to come into your office so that the two of you would get caught, so she is getting help in this from someone, someone close".

Derek looked at Reid and said, "who would want to see my marriage to Penelope end, who would hate me that much"?, Reid looked up at Derek and said, "I can think of one man that would". Derek looked at him and said, "ohhhhh you don't think"?, Reid said, "yes I do think, I think that Kevin is helping her, he sees this as his chance to end your marriage and get her back, but now we need to prove it".

Penelope sighed as she and Chad walked into his house, he placed her bags on the floor beside the couch and said, "honey would you like something to eat"?, she rubbed her stomach and said, "there isn't much that is staying down right now". Chad smiled and said, "ohhh honey are you pregnant"?, she nodded her head and said, "yessssss" and started to cry.

He wrapped his arm around her and said, "it's ok honey, it's ok, I'm here, I'm here", he sat back against the couch and pulled her close and she laid her head down on his chest and cried as she told him what had happened. When Penelope finished Chad wiped the tears off of his dear friends face and said, "honey I'm so sorry, you deserve soooooooo much better than that".

Tamara smiled and said, "we need to find out where Penelope is and make sure that she stays away, well at least long enough for me to be able to get Derek into my bed". Kevin smiled and said, "when I get back to the BAU I will try to find her so that we can put the next part of our plans to work", she laughed and said,
"I love the way you think Kev", the clanked their coffee cups together as they talked about what to do next.
