Before I go to sleep

Chapter four: that forever darkens their hearts

A/N: hey guys I believe that the prequel will only be one chapter as I want to condense it as much as I can so I can continue on this so for today you get another story and another chapter so enjoy.

Rossi sat at his desk going through his unfinished files when he heard a knock at the door, looking up from his files he saw Morgan standing in the doorway.

"Yes Morgan what do you want?" Rossi asked gesturing for Morgan to take a seat at the other side of the desk.

"Why haven't you and Hotch been here the past few days?" Morgan asked as he took a seat, Rossi shook his head at Morgan's, he should've known that Morgan would ask such a question.

"It doesn't concern you Morgan, we have had to deal with some things" Rossi stated as he observed the worried look cross Morgan's features.

"Yeah right, why is it that neither of you will tell us what's going on, and why is Garcia on vacation, she never goes on vacation?" Morgan asked a slight bit of anger found its way into his voice, he still hadn't forgiven her after their argument. Rossi heard the anger and inwardly flinched, Morgan hadn't seemed to be angry at him or Hotch, but the anger seemed to be directed at Garcia.

"May I ask what has happened between you and Garcia?" Rossi asked out of pure curiosity.

"We had an argument after I found out she was pregnant, I tried to talk to her about it but she exploded on me and hasn't talked to me since, no big deal" Morgan lied shrugging his shoulders.

"Okay then, is that all Morgan?" Rossi replied "I have to head out for lunch, see you in a few" he said before getting out of his chair and leaving the room.

Penelope sat in the bed quietly looking around the room, her eyes landed on the sleeping figure of Hotch, he looked like he hadn't slept in days, whenever she was awake he was always there she wondered if he had even left the hospital at all while she was here.

She wasn't even surprised when Rossi walked into the room carrying the two cups of coffee.

"Hello kitten still not talking today, well that's okay the doctor said you would talk when you felt ready, I talked to Derek today he explained your argument, why did you explode on him when he tried to talk to you about it, he was trying to help and you just shut him out that's not like you what happened?" Rossi watched as she flinched at his comment about Derek, he watched as tears began to pool in her eyes and finally fall as she looked anywhere but at him. Aaron was still asleep and hadn't seen the look of disgust and betrayal at the mere mention of Derek. Rossi felt terrible for making her upset but every time he would apologize she would shake her head and continue to stare out the window, he didn't understand why she wouldn't just talk already so he could learn her side of the story but he knew it wouldn't happen right away and even if she did start talking it wouldn't be to him as he had just hurt her by taking Derek's side without hearing her side of the story.

Derek had followed Rossi to the hospital wanting to know what was going with his co-worker, watching him enter the hospital Derek decided to leave figuring Rossi had a blood test or something. He told himself he would ask Rossi about it tomorrow, driving off he didn't notice Rossi staring at his car driving away.

A/N: I know it's short but I have homework to do and it keeps piling up leaving nearly no time to the things I like but that's the problem with school.

But for now bye bye
