One Starry Night-Ch 10

Fran smiled and said, "you are so adorable", Charlotte grinned and stood there looking down at her grandma, Penelope said, "you don't know how many times I wanted to call you Fran but with me working undercover it was to dangerous". Fran said, "I understand that honey and at least I know about her now".

Derek said, "momma are you busy right now"?, she said, "no why"?, Derek said, "welllllll today is baby girls first day back at work and we were wondering if you would" and Fran finished his sentence and said, "I'd love to watch my grandbabies". Penelope said, "are you sure because I know I sprung her on you pretty fast".

Fran said, "I'd love to spend the day with both of my beautiful grandbabies, this way I can spoil them rotten", Penelope smiled and said, "I wrote my numbers down on the pad by the door if you need anything". Fran grinned and said, "don't worry we'll be fine", she looked down at Charlotte and said, "won't we princess"?, Charlotte nodded her head and said, "uh huh".

Penelope and Derek hugged the kids and Penelope said, "be a good girl for grandma today, okay"?, Charlotte said, "tayyyyyyy" as she ran across the room with Hank. Derek intertwined fingers with Penelope and said, "don't worry baby girl everything is going to be fine', she said, "I know it's just", Derek said, "you're going to miss her"?, Penelope nodded her head and said, "I know it's silly".

Derek kissed her lips and said, "your big kind heart is one of the reasons I fell in love with you", she grinned at him and looked over her shoulder one final time at the two playing toddlers before walking out the front door and shutting it behind her. A few minutes later they were stepping off of the elevator and heading toward the rest of their team.

JJ smiled and said, "morning you two", Penelope smiled and said, "morning gumdrops", Reid grinned and said, "soooo how did last night go"?, Derek said, "it was great pretty boy, I got to spend a night with my baby girls and my son". Emily said, "sounds like everybody had a good time"?, Penelope sighed happily and said, "we did my raven haired beauty, we did".

Dave said, "I just got a call from your mom", Derek said, "is something wrong"?, he said, "oh no, no, no, she was so excited to get to spend some time with both of her grandbabies". Penelope said, "I know it was a lot to spring on her so fast but Charlotte took up really fast with her", Dave said, "kitten you really made her day and of course you know that she's gonna spoil Charlotte rotten, right"?, Penelope laughed and said, "never had a doubt papa bear, never had a doubt".

Their conversation ended when Hotch said, "team, I need you in the round table room please", everybody nodded their heads yes as they walked up the stairs and headed across to join their boss. When they were all in the room Hotch said, "I just got a call", Dave said, "that doesn't sound good Aaron", he said, "that's because it's not".

Derek said, "what was the call about"?, Hotch looked at Penelope and said, "it's about Jorge Hernandez", Derek said, "Hernandez as in"?, Penelope said, "as in Jose's brother". Reid said, "he's here isn't he, in Virginia"?, Penelope looked nervously at Hotch as he said, "I'm afraid so, he was spotted here in Virginia late last night".

Penelope said, "h h he's here after me, he wants to kill me for what I did to his brother", Derek said, "nobody is going to hurt you baby girl, you're safe with us and we'll do whatever it takes to keep you and Charlotte safe". Penelope said, "what you don't understand is that he'll go after all of you, because he knows that you're the people I love".

Dave said, "that doesn't matter kitten, you're our family and we love you and no matter what we have to do we will keep you and your daughter safe", she shook her head and said, "I can't take the chance that he'll hurt you or worse, I can't lose you, any of you". Derek pulled her into his arms and said, "and what do you think about us, we can't lose you either".

Penelope said, "I" and Hotch said, "we will all stay together and watch each others backs", Reid said, "we'll go get Henry", Emily said, "and we'll get Jack", Dave said, "I'll go with Derek and Penelope to get Charlotte, Hank, Fran and the girls". Hotch said, "okay we'll all meet at the air strip and the sooner we leave the better", everybody nodded their heads yes in agreement as they all raced toward the elevators.
