Do I Know You-Ch 7
The team watched as Derek and Penelope came in carrying 3 carseats, once they walked into the conference room they put the carriers down that were holding the sleeping children. Hotch motioned for the social workers to come into the room, Penelope looked over at them and JJ said, "these are just social workers Penelope and they are going to take the babies for some blookwork to see if they can get them back to their biological mothers if at all possible", she nodded her head and wiped away the tears as she watched the babies being carried out of the room.
Derek wanted so much to just hold her and let her know that he is there for her and that he loves her but he is so afraid that if he does that she will shatter into even more pieces. Penelope walked over to the team and Derek said, "this is JJ Reid and her husband Spencer", she held out her hands and weakly smiled as she shook hands with them.
Derek said, "this is Aaron Hotchner or Hotch as we all call him, he is our boss and this is his wife Emily", she smiled and said, "it's nice to meet all of you". She took a deep breath and said, "I know that you all know me but I'm sorry I have no memories further back than 4 years, the only life I can remember is my life with Thomas".
Hotch walked over to Penelope and said, "we need to get you to the hospital so that you can get checked out", Penelope took a few steps back and said, "bbbbut why, I hate hospitals". Derek said, "I know you do baby girl but we need to know that you are alright", she looked at the strangers that now surrounded her and said, "I'm not alright, I'm far from it and the way I feel I will never be alright again".
Derek reached out to touch her and she pulled away, she said, "I know that you say that we are married but I don't know you, I don't want to hurt you but". Derek said, "how about if JJ and Emily take you to the hospital, that way we can make sure that you are alright and that all of the drugs are out of your system".
She took a deep breath and said, "al al alright I'll go", she watched as JJ and Emily walked toward her, as they headed toward the door she looked over her shoulder at the man that stood broken hearted in the middle of the room. JJ said, "come on Penelope let's get you to the hospital, they are expecting us".
She sighed as the girls led her out of the building and led her toward their SUV, Derek waited until she was gone before he walked over and hit the wall as hard as he could with his fist and said, "that son of a bitch is gonna pay". Reid walked over and put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "well you have her back with you now, the rest will come in time".
He looked up at Reid and said, "I hope so pretty boy because I can't lose her again", Hotch said, "it will just take some time Morgan", Derek wiped his eyes and said, "it is hard to tell what he put her through during the past 4 years". He grabbed his coat and headed toward the door and Dave said, "where are you going"?, he looked over his shoulder and said, "I'm going to head back to that hell hole and see what I can find out about Penelopes last 4 years".
When Derek opened the door to the SUV he saw Reid, Hotch and Dave getting in the other doors, he smiled and said, "thanks for coming with me you guys". Reid said, "we are a family Morgan and family is there for family", they all got inside and held on tight as Derek raced out of the lot heading back toward the house he rescued Penelope from.
As the men were heading back toward the house the girls were being led into a room, Penelope reluctantly and nervously sat down on the table and looked around the room. JJ sat down beside her and said, "I'm here if you want to talk", she sat there with tears streaming down her face and said, "I I I think I'm pregnant".
