A/N : Well here it is folks. The finale we think you all have been waiting for. Once again we own nothing but would love to "borrow" Ranger and Derek for a few hours ... or days. LOL Thank-you all for your support and love of our story. We are planning another cross-over, but unfortunately it will be delayed for a while. Don't despair though, it is coming. Lots of love from the AVRain duo. :-) (aka the evil cliffie twins) ~~~~~ J

I am itching for a fight. This woman is going down. I still can't believe a woman from my past came back for revenge and she is using Pen too; idiot! She better not have hurt a single hair on her head! If she did, all hell will break loose!

Well the plans for the take down that Ranger came up with are good ones, as usual for him. He is a master at planning. We are all still getting ready, suited up and psyched up. We should be ready to load up and leave soon.

It seems that Ranger and all of his guys are spoiling for a fight as well as me and my team. The BAU team is more like a family than co-workers.

Three hours later, nearly midnight, we were heading for the SUV's. After loading up, we head for D.C. It's a good thing I remember where the house is, even though Hector sent the coordinates to our phones, I don't need them.

We are now on our way to rescue my Baby-Girl ...

PPOV

I looked up to see Martha looking at me with pure hatred and venom in her eyes. She was royally pissed. But why? I don't remember doing anything to upset her. I don't want to upset her, I need to keep me and my baby safe, for now. I look at her as timidly as possible as I ask.

"Is something wrong?"

"I don't know how you did it, but you got word to Derek somehow, didn't you?!" She spits out.

"N... no, I haven't been able to talk to anyone. You know that. I only got that one text to Derek before you destroyed the phone. I don't have any other way to reach the outside world. All I have seen the past week or longer is these four walls around me." I respond.

"Bullshit! I know you had to get him here somehow. There's someone outside, I hear them sneaking around. Well, they will be too late by the time they are able to break in here. I'll make sure of that!"

It's then that I notice that she had a steak knife hidden behind her back and is now holding out in front of her threateningly.

"OK, let's calm down here. You wanted to talk to Derek anyway. Let's see if you can make him change his mind about wanting you." I lie.

I can only hope my reasoning and logic work on her twisted mind. I hope she wants Derek bad enough to think it's possibly true.

I see the anger in her eyes deepen. Ut oh, it may not be working. I feel blindly beside me for a weapon, any weapon. Ah ha, my hand lands on one of my knitting needles, this will do nicely. Now to avert her attention away from me.

"Do you really think I'm that stupid?!" She roars. "You're just trying to by your precious Derek some time and keep that bastard kid of yours safe!"

I see the red heat of anger begin to form behind my own eyes. How dare she! Like hell you're gonna harm me or my child bitch! At the last possible second I see her lunge toward me with the knife held tightly in her hand on the attack.

I really don't want to see any blood or myself get violent, so I close my eyes and bring my left hand up in a stabbing motion; the hand that holds the knitting needle. I hear her scream in agony and the thump of her body hitting the floor.

I still don't open my eyes as I head for where the door should be in a dead run. The blood is pumping through my veins so that it is a loud roaring in my ears. I hardly notice the stinging burn of pain in my chest.

Before I make it three steps out the door and into the hallway, I crash against a hard body. Then I am surrounded by blackness.

DPOV

I am searching the basement with Ranger listening to my comm unit carefully for news from any of the teams, when I hear a blood-curdling scream. Oh my God, please don't let that be Pen.

I hear in my comm unit seconds later the voice of Hal, Ranger's man. "I've got her!"

Both Ranger and I dash up the basement stairs to get to them. Next I hear Rossi shout. "Damn it, we need Brown here, now! Christ. Hold on Kitten."

My heart leaps to my throat. Oh please God no, please let her be OK. As I turn the corner and see Hal and Rossi, my heart stops. Pen is lying in Hal's arms with a knife sticking out of her chest.

All of us, Reid, Bobby, Ranger, and I reach Hal, Dave, and Pen at the same exact moment. I immediately drop to my knees and try to reach for Pen. I hear Ranger's voice beside me.

"No, move over D, give Brown room to work. You don't want to make it worse."

I reluctantly move aside. The tears are falling from my eyes in earnest now and I don't give a damn who sees them. I can not lose my Baby-Girl.

Bobby shouts to Lester to call 911. Lester replies that he has already done it. He and Emily are dragging Jen from the bedroom. She has what appears to be a knitting needle sticking out of her eye, looks like she is going to lose that eye. Good, looks like Pen got her own licks in.

I can now only sit here and pray that Pen will be OK. Bobby is holding a clean cloth to the wound, not daring to remove the knife just yet, saving that for the medical professionals at whatever hospital we can get her to. I just hope it's in time.

What seems like hours later, I finally hear the sirens approaching. I hear more than one. Looks like someone called an ambulance for Jen too. Wasted time if you ask me, the cops could have handled that.

Jen is now cuffed and waiting to be looked at in the ER then she will be taken downtown and booked. I hope I get to give her a piece of my mind before she is locked away for good.

Finally the EMT's race over to talk to Bobby for an update on how Pen is doing. I hear him give the information to them as I look over to Jen and growl.

"Stab wound to the chest, mid way between chest and shoulder, trying to keep the blood loss at a minimum. Pressure is falling, now only 96/58. Labored breathing, she's been unconscious for 12 minutes."

"We'll take it from here, thanks." The EMT answers as he starts an IV line after lifting Pen with a back board to the stretcher.

"Which hospital?" Ranger asks them.

"George Washington University hospital," he replies as he walks out the door with Pen.

We all, every single one of us, follow Pen out the door and to the ambulance. I, of course, climb in the back with her. The look on my face when the EMT tries to refuse me is priceless.

PPOV

I am surrounded by the blackness, but I still hear voices faintly. I hear someone say "I've got her" and then I hear Dave's soothing Italian drawl calling me kitten and telling me to hang on. Why? What happened?

Then I hear the beep of machines around me and my Hot-Stuff's pleading voice, begging me not to leave him, telling me how much he loves me and can't live without me. I know Derek. I love you too. I'm fighting for you and our child in my womb.

DPOV

I walk beside the stretcher holding Pen, and my child, into the ER. They roll her into trauma room 3 as the EMT's update the doctor and nurses on her condition.

I hear them say that she lost a lot of blood and her pressure is still dropping. I am so worried. Please, I beg God, don't take her from me. The doctor tells me I have to go to the waiting room while they work on her. I really don't want to leave her, but I have to.

I shuffle out to the plastic chairs and try to relax. Yeah, like that's gonna happen. I am quickly joined by everyone on both teams. Steph sits down next to me and starts trying to comfort me.

"They're going to be fine Derek. Pen is strong. She's a fighter."

"I know. I have to be strong too." I say with a shaky voice. "I can't lose her, Steph, I just can't." Then I break down in tears again on Steph's shoulder.

Steph holds me against her and rubs my back in soothing circles. The whole time telling me.

"It's OK, let it all out." She then joins me with her own tears.

After I have calmed down, all be it a little, I look up to see how everyone else is doing. Emily and JJ are huddled together crying on each other. Reid and Rossi look like they are about to lose it, and Hotch's face is as stoic as ever. I can see the hurt in his eyes though.

Ranger and his men have the same pain and hurt present in their eyes. I never thought I would see those big, tough, ex-military men break down like that. It makes me proud to know that they all think of Pen as a little sister too, just like they do Steph.

I am brought out of my thoughts by the door to the trauma room swinging open and the doctor walking towards us. He looks at our large group and asks.

"Family of Penelope Garcia?"

"I am her fiancee, but these are all our friends and family, so you can tell them anything you have to tell me." I inform him.

"I see. Well, we removed the knife and closed the wound. She did lose quite a bit of blood, so we gave her a transfusion. The wound was close to her right lung, but thankfully did not puncture it. She was very lucky there. She is still sedated temporarily, but should wake up in the next couple of hours. She's stable now, but it was touch and go there for a while. You can go back to see her, two at a time please and for a few minutes only. She needs to rest and heal now more than anything. We will be keeping her for a few days for observation." He nods before he turns to walk away.

Everyone agrees to let Steph and I go back to see her first. I take Steph's hand and lead her back to the trauma room. What I see when we enter breaks my heart and brings me to tears again.

Pen is lying on the bed ghostly pale with several tubes going in her arms. One is the IV from the EMTs and another is the IV pushing the blood back into her frail looking body. She looks so tiny. It's killing me on the inside.

Steph walks over to her right side and takes her hand. I do the same on Pen's left side as I start to speak.

"Hey Baby-Girl I know you can hear me. But I need you to rest for a while. You need your strength to heal. Our baby needs you. I can't wait to look into those beautiful brown eyes of yours again."

My eyes are leaking again so I lean my head down and rest it on Pen's cheek. I whisper to her. "I love you Baby-Girl."

Steph speaks up. "I'm going to let a couple more people come in now. And no, you're not going anywhere. I'll send the BAU in first."

I nod in return then add.

"OK, thank-you Steph. You're such a good friend to Pen. She loves you and Ranger just as much as she does our BAU family."

She smiles at me before walking out the door. Minutes later, JJ and Emily walk in. They stay a few minutes then leave to let Reid and Rossi take their turn. After them is Hotch and Ranger. They all give Pen their love and tell her to rest up and heal.

All of Ranger's crew come in for a moment or two also, showing that they are all gentle at heart. I always knew they were. Pen loves that about them. Of course, she always sees the good in all people. That's just the way she is.

After everyone has visited, Steph returns with Ranger to sit with me for an hour or so. They leave soon after to shower, change, and rest for a while, it's nearly 4 a.m. by now. After they're gone, I settle back in the chair by Pen's bed and close my eyes. I need to catch a short nap myself.

I wake up as the nurse comes in to check on Pen at 6 a.m. She speaks softly so not to wake Pen.

"How is she? Has she woken up yet?"

"No, she's still resting." I tell her.

"It's OK, she may not wake up for another hour or so. Don't worry." She insists.

I smile in return. She goes about her duty checking on all of Pen's IV's and marking her findings on the chart at the foot of the bed. She smiles at me again before leaving.

I stand up and stretch my legs a bit. I look down on Pen as I take her hand in mine again. I notice her eyes twitching, trying to open. I feel a weight begin to lift from my chest as I speak to her.

"That's it, let me see those baby browns Goddess, please." I beg.

Finally her eyes flutter open and I am treated to the most beautiful sight on Earth. I am grinning like a fool by now. I lean in to place a kiss on her soft lips as I tell her.

"I love you Baby-Girl. Welcome back." ##################

A/N : Well that's it, till the epilogues. I will go a little more in depth about Pen's injuries and healing there. I hope you enjoyed our latest dip into the minds of the BAU and Rangeman. Stick around, we will be back again with more! ;-) Rain (Jackie)
