Forever-Ch 10

About half an hour later Parker, Payton, Peter and Paul walked into the ER and headed straight over to JJ and the rest of the team, Parker said, "where is she JJ, we need to see her"?, JJ said, "she's right over there in cubicle 3. The brothers walked over to the nurse and said, "we're Penelope Garicas brothers and we need to see her please".

The nurse smiled and said, "usually we wouldn't be doing this but follow me please" and the four brothers followed the nurse to the cubicle and when the curtain slid back Penelope smiled as she saw her brothers step inside. Parker was the first one to her and he said, "ohhhhh squirt we thought that we had lost you forever".

She took a deep breath and said, "I thought I was gone to Parker but it is good to see you all again", Paul, Peter and Payton smiled as they got their turn to hug their sister. Payton laughed and said, "how are you feeling little sister"?, she said, "tired and hurting but other than that I am feeling ok I guess".

The doctor walked into the room and said, "it sounds like you have had a rough week Ms. Garcia", she nodded her head and said, "definitely", he looked at her chart and said, "I want to keep you for a few days and run IV antibiotics". Penelope said, "I really hate hospitals", the doctor said, "that is understandable and it is obvious that whoever took care of you knew exactly what they were doing because your burns are starting to heal".

Penelope smiled and said, "Mia did a great job taking care of me", Derek brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "she sure did baby girl". The doctor said, "I'll get back to getting her admitted and we will be taking her up to her room in a few minutes" he then closed her chart and headed out of the room.

Payton said, "we're going to go out into the waiting room and let you and Derek have some time alone but we will see you in a few minutes when the put you in your room". She smiled and said, "I love you guys so much", they each kissed the top of her head and in unison said, "we love you to" and her and Derek watched as the brothers happily walked out of the room.

Derek leaned down and kissed her lips gently and said, "alone at last sweetness", she smiled and said, "I'm so sorry", he said, "for what"?, she gently squeezed his hand and said, "for leaving you alone in bed when I wanted nothing more than to stay wrapped in your arms". He smiled down at her and said, "we have the rest of our lives to be together, that is if you'll have me"?, she said, "I must be delirous".

Derek said, "what makes you say that"?, she said, "because there is no way that you are standing there telling me that you want to spend the rest of your life with me". He ran his thumb down the side of her face and said, "that's exactly what I'm saying", she had tears streaming down her cheek as she said, "of course I'll have you".

Mia looked up to see the brothers walking back out and smiled, Payton looked at her and said, "Mia we want to thank you for everything you did to help our sister". She grinned and said, "I'm just glad that I could help her", Payton couldn't keep his eyes off of her, she was beautiful, she had long dark hair and beautiful blue eyes.

Parker looked at Peter and Paul and whispered, "I do believe our brother is smitten with Mia", Peter laughed and said, "I do believe that you're right Parker". Paul said, "good because it's been to long since he's had someone and everybody deserves to be happy". Parker looked up at Mia and said, "Mia would you like to go out with me sometime"?, she blushed and said, "I would love that Payton".

Payton smiled and said, "good, just let me know the day and time", she grinned and said, "sounds good Payton, sounds good", he sat down in a chair and said, "they will be coming to get us in a few minutes so that we can all go up and see Penelope". JJ said, "what's going on"?, Paul said, "they are going to keep her here a few days and run antibiotics through her IV's and then if she is still doing good they will let her go home".

JJ smiled and said, "something tells me that Penelope will be moving in with Derek", Peter laughed and said, "something tells me that you're right there JJ". They were all laughing and talking when the nurse came over and said, "Ms. Garcia is in her room if you would like to go up and see her now".

Payton said, "what's her room number"?, the nurse grinned and said, "she's in room 400", Parker smiled and said, "thank you" as they all walked toward the elevator. When they stopped at the door they couldn't help but smile when they saw Derek and Penelope in a passionate kiss, Payton laughed and said, "heyyyyyyy get a room", everybody laughed as Derek leaned in for another kiss.
