Object Of My Affection-Ch 10
JJ and Emily sat by Penelopes bedside and looked down at their unconscious friend and prayed that she was going to be alright, Emily put her hand in JJ's and said, "she's strong Jayje and she's a fighter and now that she's with Derek, she will fight with everything she has to come back to him". JJ gently squeezed Penelopes hand and said, "I hope you're right Em, I hope you're right".
Hotch and Dave watched from the end of the hall as Derek and Reid headed toward them, they stopped in front of the door and Hotch said, "is everything okay"?, Derek smiled and said, "more than fine", he said, "pretty boy can fill you in on everything, I'm going to go and spend some time with my future wife".
They smiled as they watched him head inside, Dave said, "did you take pictures"?, Reid pulled out his cell and said, "of course I did" and Dave and Hotch smiled as they looked at pictures of the damage that Derek had done to Sam. Dave said, "do you think it helped Morgan to relieve some of that energy on Sam"?, Reid said, "I believe it did, now we the only thing that we are waiting on is for Penelope to wake up", they both nodded their heads in agreement to Reid.
Derek walked over to the girls and said, "any change"?, they both shook their heads no and Emily said, "are you feeling any better"?, he kissed his baby girl on the forehead and said, "I do". JJ said, "we'll step out and give the two of you some time alone", Derek smiled at his friends and said, "thank you so much for staying with baby girl".
Both girls hugged Derek and said, "anytime and if you need anything we will be out in the hall", he nodded his head yes as he pulled up a chair beside Penelopes bed and sat down. He then intertwined fingers with her and said, "you have to be okay baby, you just have to be", he then brought her hand up to his lips slowly and gently kissed it.
He then put it back under the blanket and said, "I went to visit Sam", a smile then covered his face as he told her what he injuries he had sustained at his hands. He sat back and said, "I can promise you that he will pay for what he did", he then watched as Penelopes chest rose and fell as the sound of the heart monitor filled his ears.
Dave peeped through the window and said, "he seems to be doing a little better since his visit to Sam don't you think"?, Hotch laughed and said, "yeah I do now we just need to keep hoping and praying that Garcia pulls through this because if she doesn't Derek is gonna be devastated". Emily turned and smiled as she saw Fran Morgan walking up the hall toward them.
She stopped in front of the team and said, "any news"?, Dave said, "so far no change in Penelope", Fran said, "and how is my baby boy holding up"?, Reid said, "right now he's holding up but he could definitley use you right now". She smiled and said, "if you all will excuse me I'm going to head in to see Derek".
Hotch wrapped his arms around Emily as Fran headed over to the door, when she opened the door and stepped inside she walked over and put her hand on her sons shoulder. He looked up and said, "I'm so glad that you're here momma", he stood up and threw his arms around her, she said, "how are you holding up honey"?, he put his hand in hers as they sat down and said, "when my baby girl wakes up I'll be perfect".
Fran looked down at Penelope and said, "I'm here with Derek honey and we are both praying for you, we all miss you and need for you to fight to come back to us". Derek said, "I've got some good news momma", she said, "don't keep me waiting baby boy", he grinned and said, "yours truly is getting married",
she said, "ohhhhhh my goodness, that's great news honey".
She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "you know I'm not getting any younger and I really want some grandbabies", he looked down at his baby girl and said, "I know momma, I know and just as soon as my princess is ready we will start working on those grandbabies for you", she sighed and said, "honey what happened to your knuckles"?, he smiled as he started filling her in on what had happened with Sam.
