Reunited-Ch 10

Penelope sat quietly by Dereks side for almost 2 hours before she laid her head back down and closed her eyes, the next thing she knew she felt a hand on the top of her head. She looked up and saw the handsome face of the love of her life, she smiled and said, "ohhhhh handsome you're awake", he wiked at her and said, "I've missed you sweetness".

She started to get up and he said, "don't go", she said, "I was just going to let the nurses know that you are awake", he squeezed her hand and said, "please not yet". She sat back down and said, "you scared me hotstuff, I mean really scared me", he reached up and wiped away the tears away with his thumb and said, "I'm sorry baby girl".

She leaned in and kissed his palm and said, "you have so much to live for now", he smiled and said, "I sure do I have you", she said, "Derek we need to talk". He laid there looking at her and said, "is something wrong"?, she shook her head and said, "no handsome nothings wrong", he took a deep breath and winced in pain.

She said, "do you want something for pain"?, he said, "not now baby, now what were you going to tell me"?, she said, "earlier today before I found out that you had been stabbed I got some news". He turned his head to the side and said, "news, what kind of news"?, she swallowed hard and said, "I found out that, well that".

Derek said, "are you alright"?, she said, "I'm fine", he squeezed her hand and said, "your scaring me princess, what do you want to tell me"?, she smiled and said, "we're going to have a baby". He looked at her with a huge smile on his face and said, "can you repeat that"?, she said, "I said we're going to have a baby".

Derek grinned and said, "a baby, we're going to have a baby"?, she nodded her head and said, "yeah we are", he said, "ahhhhh it must have happened that night in the bar bathroom". She sighed and said, "yep that was when this little one happened", he tried to move in the bed and his machines started going off causing several nurses to run into the room.

Penelope said, "he's alright, he's alright", Derek smiled and said, "I'm going to be a daddy", the nurses all smiled and in unison said, "congratulations Mr. Morgan". They looked up to see the doctor walking through the door, she smiled and said, "wellllll you're awake", he smiled as she said, "do you know where you are and what happened"?, he said, "I'm in the hospital because Savannah stabbed me".

The doctor said, "how are you feeling"?, he said, "sore, very sore but it feels good to be alive", the doctor said, "we had to remove your spleen during surgery but you can live a happy and healthy life without it". Penelope looked down at him and said, "you coded on the table handsome, we almost lost you".

He brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "I'm here sweetness and I'm fine", the doctor said, "since you are awake we are going to move you to your room". Derek said, "how long do I have to stay here doc"?, she said, "I want to keep you a few days at least, so you might get to go home by this weekend, how does that sound"?, he grinned and said, "great doc, that sounds great".

Penelope leaned down and kissed him gently on the lips and said, "I'll go let everybody else know that you are awake", she looked up at the doctor and asked, "what room will he be in"?, she said, "room 250", She stood up and smiled as he put his hand on her stomach and said, "hello in there little one this is your daddy talking".

Penelope said, "we will get to see him or her in about 6 months", he smiled and said, "this is amazing, I'm going to be a daddy", she laughed and said, "me and the baby both love you and we will see you in a few minutes". He winked at her as he watched her head out the door, he took a deep breath as the nurses started getting ready to move him to his room.

Penelope walked out into the waiting room and said, "he's awake and doing good, they are getting ready to move him to his room", Hotch pulled out his cell and smiled as he dialed Daves cell to fill him in on the news. Penelope said, "he's going to be in room 250 bossman", he nodded his head as he said, "he's awake Dave and doing good, they are moving him to room 250".

Fran and the girls all gave a sigh of relief and said a silent prayer of thanks for the news as the jet landed at the airfield
