Penelope jumps up and grabs her stomach and says, "WHATTTT"?, she said, "we found the unsub and Derek was trying to get closer and the unsub saw him and shot him twice in the chest just above his vest". Chad came running through the house and said, "what's wrong"?, Penelope said, "it's Derek, hhhhe's been shot", he said, "ohhhhhhh god honey", he helped Penelope to sit back down on the couch.
JJ said, "where are you Penelope"?, she said, "if I tell you where I am you can't tell anybody"?, she crossed her fingers and said, "I won't tell anybody Pen I promise". Penelope said, "I'm in South Carolina, I saw Derek and Reid today", JJ said, "they are leaving right now to take Derek to Hyden Memorial Hospital Garcie and it looks bad, it looks real bad".
Penelope starts crying and says, "I can't lose him JJ, not this way", she said, "I need you to go and get another phone and don't give anybody the number, nobody but me because we believe that Derek was set up by Kevin and Tamara". She said, "I could use Chads cell, nobody has his number and we would be safe", JJ said,
"when we hang up I need you to take the battery out of your phone and throw the tracker in the back of it away", she said, "ok Jayje ok".
Chad handed her his cell and she gave JJ the number and said, "when you find out something about Derek please let me know", she wiped away the tears and said,
"I will Garcie", after the call ended JJ watched helplessly as the ambulance carrying Derek drove away. Emily came over to JJ and said, "who were you talking to"?, she said, "huh, what are you talking about"?, she said, "don't try to lie to me Jayje, who were you talking to"?, she said, "the only thing you are getting from me is one word, Penelope".
The team headed to their SUV's to follow the ambulance to the hospital, JJ said, "wait, where's Reid"?, Emily said, "he rode in the ambulance with Derek", she smiled and said, "I'm glad that he isn't alone", they then loaded into their cars and quickly headed towards the hospital. Derek weakly opens his eyes and whispers,
"please tell baby girl that I love her", his eyes closed and he was unresponsive the rest of the way to the hospital.
A long few minutes later the ambulance pulls up in the ER and the medics quickly get Derek out and redline him to surgery, Reid is left standing there with Dereks blood all over his hands". JJ runs over to him and says, "where did they take Derek"?, he looked up at her with tears streaming down his face and said,
"they took him to surgery, he looks bad JJ, really bad".
Hotch walked over and said, "did he say anything on the way to the hospital"?, Reid said, "he regained consciousness 1 time and he wanted me to tell Penelope that he loved her". JJ wrapped her arms around his waist and pulled him close to her and said, "he is strong Reid, he will be ok", Reid said, "I don't know about that JJ, he feels that he has nothing to live for, I don't know if he is gonna live through this without Garcia".
JJ walked Reid over to the chair and motioned for Emily to sit with him, she said, "where are you going"?, she mouthed the words, "gonna call Penelope", Emily then sat down beside Reid and pulled him into her arms. JJ walked outside and quickly dialed Chads number, after 2 rings Penelope said, "please tell me that he is alive JJ".
JJ said, "it's bad Pen, Reid said that he woke up once on the way to the hospital and he asked Reid to tell you that he loves you", she said, "wwwhere is he now"?, JJ sighed and said, "they redlined him into surgery". She said, "I will be there soon, I will text you and let you know when I get to the parking lot",
she said, "ok, just be careful and take care of that baby", she halfheartedly smiled and said, "I will", the call then ended.
She looked at Chad and said, "can you please drive me to the hospital, I'm not able to drive right now", he said, "I'm ready when you are sweetie", Penelope gets up and they head toward the door. Penelope closes her eyes once she gets in the car and says, "please let him be ok, please", Chad then puts the car in drive and they head towards the hospital.
Dr. Jones glances up to the monitors and sees that Dereks blood pressure is 80/50 and says, "Lionel keep an eye on his BP for me", he nods his head and says, "yes sir". His heart rate is getting very erratic, Dr. Jude says, "he is going tachycardic", Lionel says his blood pressure is dropping", Dr. Jones works fast to pull the two bullets out of his shoulder.
After he removes the second bullet he checks for any bleeders and then says, "we need to get him stitched up and in recovery", it is then that Lionel says,
"he's flatlining". Dr. Jones looks up in time to see the monitor go flat, he says, charge the paddles to 3oo", the nurse hands him the paddles, he says, "CLEAR",
and then he shocks Derek.
Lionel says, "no change", Dr. Jones said. "charge to 400", he says, "CLEAR", and then shocks Derek, this time his heart rate goes to 58 and his blood pressure is staying around 70/50. He says, "ok people we have him back lets get him finished up and in recovery", a few minutes later Dr. Jones looks down at him and says, "you are a very strong man, you must have alot to fight for".
The team looks to see the doctor walking towards them, Hotch heads over and Dr. Jones said, "he flatlined on the table and it took 2 shocks to bring him back,
we got the two bullets out and he is in recorvery right now". Hotch said, "when can we see him"?, the doctor said, "it is going to be a couple of hours, maybe you could all go and get some coffee or something to eat and when he is moved into CCU we will come and get you".
Hotch nodded his head and said, "thank you doctor", he turned to walk away but turned back and said, "he is a fighter, the next 24 to 48 hours are the most critical for him". Hotch looks at the team and says, "why don't we take the doctors advice and go get something to eat it is going to be a long night", the team reluctantly get up and head towards the door, JJ says, "why don't you all go ahead, I need to call Will, I just really need to talk to him and hear Henrys voice right now".
She pulled out her cell and waited until she saw the team head toward the cafeteria before pulling out her cell and calling Penelope, she waits patiently for Penelope to answer, after a couple of rings she hears Penelope say, "hello". JJ says, "everybody is headed towards the cafeteria, if you come in now I will sneak you in to spend some time with Derek".
Penelope gets out of the car and quickly heads inside the hospital where she is immediately met by JJ, she wraps her arm around Penelope and says, "he is very weak and he flatlined twice on the table". Penelope rubbed her stomach and said, "don't worry little one your daddy is gonna be ok", JJ led her up the hall toward recovery, she led Penelope over to the door and she distracted the nurse so Penelope could slip inside Dereks room.
Penelope walked over to the bed and put Dereks hand in hers and said, "I love you handsome, you can't give up, you have to fight to come back to me, to us", she listens to the beeping of the heart monitor and closes her eyes and says, "you have to fight to come back for our baby, you can't leave me Derek, please don't leave me", she laid her head down on the bed beside him and cries as she watches his chest move up and down.
Penelope gently squeezes his hand and says, "I was heading to your office to tell you about the baby, but when I got there I saw, I saw that slut in your lap with her tongue down your throat and now JJ told me that everybody thinks that Kevin and Tamara are working together to keep us apart, I want to believe that and I wouldn't put anything past that witch".
She wiped her nose and said, "I am almost 16 weeks along and I can't wait to see what our little one looks like, I hope that she looks like you", she smiled and said, "I love you Derek Morgan, please wake up and be ok, please". She sat there watching his chest go up and down and up and down, she brought his hand up to her lips and kissed it and said, "you have to come back to me hotstuff, you just have to because I can't do this alone".
She looked down at her watch and saw that she had been in with Derek for almost an hour, she slowly got up and leaned over and kissed him gently on the lips and said, "always remember I love you handsome". Penelope slowly headed towards the door, what she didn't see was Dereks eyes weakly opening and watching her as she walked out the door.
