Healing Hands-Ch 10

The next morning Derek woke up and sighed happily as memories of his face time with his baby girl the night before came back to him, he blew out a deep breath and wondered how the rest of his day was going to go. He looked up at the door when he saw his mom and Dave walking into the room with some coffee and breakfast for him.

Fran walked over and kissed him on the top of the head and said, "morning baby boy", he smiled and said, "morning momma", Fran said, "how did you sleep last night"?, he said, "good, real good". Dave said, "you look refreshed son", Derek nodded his head and said, "I am, I am", Fran said, "we brought you some breakfast so you could eat before your therapy session starts".

He raised the lid covering his food and said, "ohhhh that looks amazing momma", she had fixed him eggs, ham and French toast covered with syrup, he took a bite and said, "mmmmmm this is delicious". Dave said, "we all know that hospital food isn't fit to eat", Derek said, "I can't disagree with ya there" as he took a bite of his French toast.

About 45 minutes later the trio were still laughing and talking when they saw a young woman walking into the room, she looked at Derek and said, "my name is Jordan Todd and I'll be your therapist today". Derek smiled and said, "it's nice to meet you Jordan", Dave said, "well Bella we better be going so Derek can get started with his therapy".

Fran nodded her head and said, "baby boy we're going to head out so you and Jordan can get started", Derek smiled and said, "thanks for coming and for bringing breakfast". Fran said, "you are very welcome honey" and then she kissed him on the top of the head and said, "we'll be back later", Derek nodded his head and said, "okay momma".

When Fran and Dave were gone Jordan said, "are you ready to get started"?, he said, "I am, I can't wait to get out of here and back to work", she said, "what kind of work do you do"?, he said, "I'm an FBI agent, I work with the BAU". Jordan said, "what's the BAU"?, Derek started explaining everything to her as they started working on the warm up exercises.

Meanwhile at the Reids Penelope opened her eyes and couldn't help but smile, she stretched and then winced in pain, it was only a matter of a few seconds before she heard JJ knocking on her door. JJ said, "are you alright Penelope"?, Penelope said, "yeah just sore JJ, sorry if I bothered you", JJ laughed and said, "can I come in"?, Penelope said, "yeah come on in".

JJ opened the door and said, "you didn't bother me, I was up washing clothes for our gobags", Penelope said, "where are Spencer and Henry this morning"?, she grinned and said, "ohhhh they are out at the market for me". Penelope sighed happily and said, "thanks again for letting me stay here with you until they find Sam", JJ said, "that's what friends are for, right"?, Penelope grinned and said ,"right".

JJ said, "if you want you can get up and get dressed and when Spence and Henry get back we'll have breakfast", she nodded her head and said, "sounds good", JJ shut the door and headed back through the house. A few minutes later when Penelope walked through the house she heard Henry giggling and she couldn't help but smile.

She smiled because one day she wanted that, she wanted the husband and kids and who knows her future might be with Derek, she was pulled back to reality when JJ said, "I hope you're hungry". Penelope said, "oh yeah I'm famished" as she walked over and joined the Reids at their breakfast table, Henry smiled and said, "mownin", Penelope laughed and said, "morning to you to Henry" as she tickled the little boy before the little family enjoyed a delicious breakfast together.
