Switched At Birth-Ch 7

A few hours later Penelope and Derek were still waiting to see Jamie, she had been theirs since the doctors put her in Penelopes arms the night she was born and she would always be their daughter. Derek intertwined their fingers and said, "how could this happen, if she's not our child, where is our child, who has her and why did this happen"?, Penelope touched his cheek and said, "I don't know handsome, I don't know".

Hotch and Dave were waiting for the judge to give his decision on their court order, Dave said, "Aaron, I can't believe this is happening", Hotch said, "me either Dave, me either". They jumped up when the clerk came to the door and said, "he'll see you now", they both smiled at her and said, "thanks" as they walked on through to the judges chambers and knocked on the door.

The judge said, "come in", they opened the door and stepped inside, Dave said, "thank you for agreeing to see us sir", he said, "you barely caught me, I was getting ready to head out for the rest of the week, gonna spend some time with my grandchildren". Dave and Hotch sat down across from the judge and Hotch said, "are you up to date on why we're here sir"?, the judge nodded his head and said, "I am".

He looked at Hotch and said, "I can't imagine what the parents who thought this little angel was theirs from the day she was born, I can't imagine that pain, that agony". Hotch nodded his head and said, "both Derek and Penelope work with/for me your honor, Derek is one of my agents and Penelope is our data analyst, the best I've ever seen".

The judge said, "I'll give you your court order and I hope that you are able to find out what happened that night so many months ago and where their child is now". Dave said, "thank you sir, so do we", they both shook hands with the judge and after getting the court order both men took a deep breath and then walked out of the judges chambers and out the front door of the court house.

Sarah and Desiree look at each other and then back at their sleeping mother, she had been in so much pain that she had to take something and it wasn't long before she had fallen asleep. Sarah said, "how did this happen, if Jamie isn't our niece, where is she"?, Desi said, "I wish I knew big sister, I wish I knew".

Derek looked at Penelope and said, "you ready for this"?, Penelope nodded her head and said, "she needs us, we're the only parents she knows and even though she's not biologically ours she's still our baby". Derek kissed her forehead and said, "I couldn't have said it better baby girl" as they opened the door and stepped inside Jamies room.

When Penelope saw her daughter hooked up to the breathing tube her heart sank, she reached out and took the little hand in hers and said, "it's okay princess mommy and daddy are here, we're here". Derek walked over to the other side of Jamies bed and said, "hey princess, it's daddy, we need for you to know that we're here and we love you".

Meanwhile in the records department, Emily, JJ watched as Reid started reading a file, he was through it in less than a minute, when he got to the last page he looked up smiling and said, "WE'VE FOUND THEM, WE'VE FOUND THEM".
