Thanks for all the reviews guys! Here comes the whoop ass scene :) Enjoy and rejoice that Criminal Minds has been renewed for a ninth season!
The abrupt opening of the door to her office made Penelope think it was Derek with some exciting news, but the moment she turned around her face fell. Kevin apparently deemed it appropriate to show up. She could practically feel the blood drain from her face. What could he possibly want from her?
"Er, hello Kevin," she said cautiously. "What's up? It's been a little while. How're you doing?"
"Cut the crap Penny," he snarled. "I've been meaning to get around to this, but I didn't think it would last very long. What the hell do you think you're doing with Derek Morgan? Do you really think he loves you? He's using you. Don't you see that?"
She glared at him. "What could you possibly know about how Derek feels about me?" she snapped. "We love each other. Why are you acting so jealous? You broke up with me, if you didn't remember correctly. There's no reason for you to be acting all territorially all of the sudden."
"He's not good for you, Penny," he hissed. "You'll never be happy with him. You can only be happy with me. We're meant to be together."
"If we were so meant to be together why the hell did you break up with me?" she asked with a roll of her eyes.
"I needed to take a break," he muttered lamely. "I was just in a bad place in my life and –"
She stood up to hiss and clenched her fists at her sides, "I've got news for you, Kevin, if there's absolutely nothing to get you to go away, I guess I'm going to just spill the beans…Derek's the father of my baby. He's not going anywhere, I'm not going anywhere. You're never going to have another chance and it's your own fault."
His face contorted with rage. "You're having Derek Morgan's baby?" he snapped. "How the hell did that happen?"
"How did it happen?" she repeated incredulously. She let out a bark of laughter. "We're in love with each other. Deal with it."
"There's no way he's in love with you," he snickered like he was the objective holder of truth. "There are virtually no similarities between the two of you. He'll use you and dump you the way he dumps every other woman he fucks! Derek Morgan is nothing more than a whore-mongering scoundrel who will never be there for your baby. He'll leave you alone and you'll always wonder why you made the mistake of sleeping with him in the first place. And that baby won't be any better."
She stepped closer to him and slapped him in the face. "You son of a bitch! How dare you insult my family? Where do you get the –"
Kevin grabbed both of her wrists in a bruising grip and yanked her roughly from desk and towards him. She winced. "Kevin, you're hurting me! Let go!"
"I never took you for a whorish piece of gar –"
"Get your fucking hands off of her!"
Behind him Derek had burst into the room and was stalking forward to grab Kevin by the back of the neck and throw him against the wall, placing his arm over his neck and hissing, "If you ever put your hands on her again, you'll regret ever being born. I swear to God you will. And when you decide to come near her again either, I'll kick your ass so hard you'll not be able to walk properly."
"Let go of me, you brute," Kevin snapped in a croaked voice. "Don't think I won't press charges for assault."
"I'll get you right back for it," he growled. "You ever touch the woman I love and you'll deal with the wrath of me!"
"And us," Rossi said harshly from the door. "I suggest you get your scummy ass out of here."
With a scowl on his face, Kevin stomped out of Penelope's office, his tail very clearly between his legs.
Once he was gone, Derek was at Penelope's side with her wrists pulled up to study the damage. Afterward, he pulled her into a crushing hug and kissed the side of her head. "Oh God," he murmured. "Thank God you're okay. Are you alright? Is there anything you need me to do? I can do something for you if you want? Do you need –"
She put a finger to his lips and smirked, "Hot Stuff. I'm fine. He just scared me is all. Don't you worry." She leaned over to the side and smiled at Rossi. "Thanks to you too Rossi."
He saluted her and smiled kindly. "You are very welcome, Kitten," he said. "Now, I think you're in good hands so I'm going to get lost."
Derek still had his arms around her waist and leaned his forehead against hers. "He's never getting near you again. I can't believe he thought he had a right to come in here and threaten you."
She smiled. "Well, he's not getting close to me ever again," she said huskily. "With my hot body guard I'll never have a problem again." She had a gleam in her eyes and she added, "And I have some news for you my cocoa butter ball."
Kissing every inch of her face, he laughed, "Oh? And what news would that be that you have?"
"I'm having twins."
So it's a little short, but the epilogue is up next :) Again…PLEASE REVIEW!
