One Year Later
'Pen, Hotch wants you in his office now.'
'That sounds bad.'
'Well he has Derek in there already.'
'Yikes! Okay hang on.' She clicked a few keys and stood. At the bull pen, JJ went to her office and Penelope carried on towards Hotch's office, she tapped and waited to be called in.
'I was told you wanted me?'
'Have a seat Penelope.'
She sat next to Derek.
'I received a call from Virginia state prison about Kevin Lynch.'
Penelope felt a knot tie in her stomach, memories of what had happened flashing back into her mind on a repetitive torturous loop. She swallowed hard.
'Lynch was beaten to a brain dead pulp last night, the call came because his cell mate said he kept saying 'Penelope Garcia' and 'Penny', he had photos of you Penelope all over the place and had scratched your name onto every possible surface that was his.'
She sat motionless, she looked down and then up and the around, not exactly knowing where to put her eyes.
'It would appear that Lynch was suffering from a mental disorder.'
'Brought on by me?'
'P that's ridiculous, you didn't ask for the things he did to you.' Derek took her hand.
'Penelope, if it hadn't have been you it would have been some other woman. You cannot blame yourself.'
She nodded. 'How did he get the photos?'
'Well it appears friends brought them in and he took quite a few in with him. His cell mate said he was transfixed with you but he wouldn't get help but this is no way your fought.'
'Okay.'
'I know you received a letter off him the other day.'
She looked at Derek. 'It's really over isn't it?'
'Yeah it's really over baby girl.' She felt the knot disappear as her husband verified everything was over. 'We can get over this now. No more letters, no more anything.'
'Thank God. Thank you Sir.'
'Penelope I felt you needed to know. But I also need to know what the letter said, is there any threatening contents?'
'Erm...yes.'
'You need to bring it to me.'
She leant down and took it from her bag. 'I've been meaning to talk to you about it.'
'But we were having troubles on how to brace the subject.'
Hotch nodded in understanding and opened the letter.
Penny!
It's been nearly a year and I am yet to see my daughter, I will have you to myself without lover boy. Even if it means killing him in front of you or me killing you in front of him and then myself, I will find a way to be with you. With or without the brat, it's you I want. The night I forced you to have sex was the best I have ever had, your screams, your cries made the experience even more exciting didn't it? The more you struggled the deeper it felt the more together it felt.
I miss you more each day and I will have you all to myself. You are after all the love of my life Penny. No arguments, there are dire choices, you leave willingly me with, or I take the brat, or I kill either you, him, or the brat. Your choice Penny your choice.
Lots of love
Kevin
Hotch looked fuming at what he had just read. 'Kevin Lynch is no longer your problem Penelope. Derek and Alexandra are your life; Lynch really didn't deserve to have you in his life. But now it is over for good.'
'I know. Thank you.'
'Do not thank me. How about Morgan we take out wives out for something to eat?'
'I think that's a good idea.' Derek said smiling.
'Garcia are you up for it?'
'Garcia?' Penelope repeated.
'Once Garcia always Garcia. I don't care if you are married and your name is now Morgan on everything.'
She laughed. 'It's just you haven't called me that since mine and Derek's wedding day.'
'Well maybe it's time to get in the habit. Some die hard as I was told by a certain blonde tech.'
'You got it in one boss man. Come on let's go.' She stood talking Derek's hand and walking out of the door. 'Hey Em your husband's buying lunch.'
'Am I?'Hotch said laughing as he shut his office door.
'You are indeed.'

Later that night
'Come on P. Come out of the bathroom. I'm getting worried.'
'I'll be okay.'
'Well why do you sound like you've been crying?'
Slowly the door opened, Derek wanted to take his wife in his arms but noticed the smile. Getting really confused he looked at her more.
'Baby girl?'
'Handsome?' She passed him the little white stick. 'We pregnant again!'
Derek felt the tears build up in his eyes. He pulled Penelope into his arms and hugged and kissed her. 'This is amazing news goddess!'
'Want to know something even better?'
'What?'
'It's definitely ours!'
