Derek knows his friendship with Penelope will be forever strained; she is still tense around him. The only things Penelope will even discuss with him are Gamila. He wants her to live with him half the time but Penelope won't budge.
"You left when you found out. For a month." she says angrily. "I'm not uprooting my daughter's life because you decide you want her now."
"Suing for custody sounds great right about now, I'd find a lawyer." Derek says and leaves angrily leaving Penelope with tears running down her face.
Penelope wakes up from her dream panicking. It had been a month since Derek met Gamila and Garcia was terrified that he would take her daughter away at any moment hence the nightmares. Things between them had have been icy, neither willing to acknowledge their mistakes. While the Derek she knew wouldn't sue her she wasn't quite sure what the Derek she knows now would do. Deciding she wasn't going to get sleep anytime soon she decides to occupy her time by knitting.
"Please tell me we have a case." Penelope asks Hotch who shakes his head.
"No." grumbling she prepares to meet her doom, not really but she promised Derek if they didn't catch a case on Saturday she'd bring Gamila over for a play date with Hank. A promise she is regretting after her dreams the past few nights.
"Kate! Why'd you let me agree to this?" she whisper yells into her phone as she slowly walks up to Morgan's door. All she hears on the other side of the phone is laughter which promotes her to hang up on her friend.
Penelope watches Hank play with his little sister in Derek's living room; she watches as Morgan kneels down to play with them.
"Coffee?" Savannah asks startling Garcia out of her daydream. Nodding her head Penelope takes the cup from the other woman. For a while neither one of them says anything, they just watch the children play.
"Look Savannah I'm sorry." Penelope mumbles and Savannah doesn't have to asks what she's sorry about.
The woman doesn't say anything but she wraps her arms around Penelope in a gesture Penelope takes to mean she's forgiven.
Spencer is getting coffee when he notices Penelope's odd behavior. Instead of her bubbly personality the usually greets the team she is sitting quietly, staring at her coffee, her clothes equally as gloomy.
"Penelope?" Looking up Spencer notices she has rings around her eyes indicating she hasn't got much sleep.
"Nightmares?" he asks, being the first person she told, usually that spot would be held by Morgan but that wasn't happening any time soon.
"Garcia look, I don't think he'd take her away from you, come one we know Derek. He wouldn't do that."
"We knew him. I don't think I know him anymore." She responds sadly letting her fear get the best of her.
