Marital Woes-Ch 10

Derek followed behind Penelope like a lost pup as she made her way toward the rest of the team who were now sitting in the waiting room, JJ saw her coming and stood up and walked over to her and said, "what did the doctor say"?, Penelope smiled and said, "the injection Fred gave me was a mild tranqulizer and it won't hurt the baby".

JJ hugged her friend and said, "that's great Garcie", Reid said, "how far along are you"?, she rubbed her stomach and said, "around 12 weeks", he laughed and said, "I can't wait to tell Henry that he is going to have a cousin to play with". Penelope looked around and when she didn't see Hotch said, "any word on Emily"?, JJ said, "she had to have like 70 stitches and her burns will have to be cleaned and bandaged everyday".

Penelope said, "it's my fault, her getting hurt is my fault", Dave said, "kitten it wasn't your fault", she said, "yes it was, she wouldn't let Fred hurt me or the baby". Dave put his hand on her shoulder and said, "they are going to move her to her private room soon, it sounds to me like you are needing to talk to her", she looked down to the ground and nodded her head yes.

Derek looked up and saw Hotch coming and watched as he leaned in and whispered something to Penelope, she smiled at JJ and said, "I'll be back", she then turned and headed toward Emilys room. JJ said, "how's she doing"?, he ran his hand over his head and said, "she's in a lot of pain but the pain meds are taking the edge off so she is going in and out back there".

Reid saw Derek sit down and put his head in his hands so he walked over and said, "what have you done now Morgan"?, Derek looked up at Reid and said, "ohhhh Pretty Boy I have really screwed up". He sat down beside Derek and said, "what did you do"?, he said, "I was so happy when baby girl told me that she was pregnant but I stuck my foot in my mouth and now things are worse than before".

Reid said, "just please tell me that you didn't ask was the baby yours", he looked down at the floor and said, "I can't because that's exactly what I did and now my goddess is devastated and she can't forgive me". Reid took a deep breath and said, "please tell me that you don't believe that the baby is Hotch's",
Derek said, "I don't Pretty Boy it's just my foot was in my mouth before I could stop it".

Dave walked over and said, "you need your ass kicked Morgan for saying something that stupid to kitten", Derek stood up and said, "I know it Dave, Penelope is my world and I promise that no matter what I have to do I will make things right". Penelope walked into the room and saw Emily with bandages all over her arms and whispered, "I'm so sorry Em".

Emily weakly opened her eyes and said, "it's no no not your fault", she said, "but it is Em, because of me and the little one you got hurt", Emily said, "I couldn't let her hurt you or my niece or nephew now could I"?, Penelope wiped the tears away and said, "how are you really feeling"?, she said, "I hurt like hell and I'm so tired but I'm going to be fine PG".

Penelope noticed that Emily was trying to fall asleep so she said, "I'm going to go and let you get some rest", she nodded her head and mumbled something before she fell asleep. Penelope stood up and smiled as she turned and headed out of the room, when she stepped into the hall Hotch walked over and she said,
"she's exhausted so I'm going to let her rest".

He pulled her into his arms and hugged her tight and said, "how could things be so messed up Penelope"?, she wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his shoulder and said, "I don't know bossman, I don't know". Derek walked over to get a drink of water and when he saw Penelope and Hotch in each others arms all he wanted to do was go over and punch Hotch in the face.

When Penelope pulled away from Hotch she said, "I'm going to go to the hotel and take a bath and lay down and rest", he smiled and said, "well it has been a long day for you", she nodded her head and said, "it sure has". Hotch said, "I'm going to stay here with Em but I'll catch up with you guys when I can tomorrow".

Penelope took a deep breath as she walked away from Hotch, when she got to the waiting room she noticed that Derek was glaring at her but she chose to ignore him and walk over to JJ. She leaned in and said something and JJ nodded her head and the two walked away, Derek walked over to Reid and said, "where are they going"?, Reid said, "Garcia is tired so JJ is taking her back to the hotel so she can take a bath and rest".

Derek turned and started walking away and Reid said, "I'll be to the room later I'm going to see if I can get to check in on Em first", Derek nodded his head and said, "alright Pretty Boy, I need some fresh air anyway" he then walked on out of the hospital and headed toward his SUV. He needed a drink in the worst way so he drove around until he found a bar.

When he walked inside it didn't take long before girls were throwing themselves all over him, he was flattered and broken hearted so he didn't thinkg that a few drinks and a dance or two could hurt, boy was he wrong. After her bath Penelope laid on the bed thinking about everything that had happened so she picked up her cell and dialed Dereks number.

Derek finished his drink and headed toward the bathroom accidently leaving his cell on the table, when it started ringing one of the women he had been drinking and dancing with picked up his cell and said, "hello". Penelope said, "ohhhh I'm sorry I must have the wrong number",the girl snorted and said, "honey if you are looking for the hot man that owns this phone he is in the restroom right now".

Penelope said, "who the hell is this"?, she said, "my name is Amber and when that sexy man comes back we are heading back to my place soooo if you are expecting him tonight sorry honey because he is gonna be wrapped between my legs allllllll night" and then the call ended. The girl erased the call and laid the cell back on the table before Derek got back.

He smiled and said, "how about one more dance before I head out"?, the woman anxiously put her hand in his and said, "lead the way sexy, lead the way" and as the song played Derek lost himself if only momentarily in the arms of Amber.
