Opposites Attract-Ch 14
Penelope screamed as she watched Sam, Carlos and several of their men hit the floor, Derek then put the stone back into his pocket as he ran toward her. After untying her he reached his hand out to help her off the table and at first she just sat there not sure what to do.
Derek said, "it's okay sweetness, it's over", she shook her head and said, "no, no it's not", she reluctantly put her hand in his as she climbed off the bed. She then quickly rubbed her wrists and he said, "are you alright, are the babies alright"?, she said, "we're fine".
He tried to put is arm around her and she pulled away and said, "I can't do this", Derek said, "I love you, please don't be afraid of me". She said, "I just can't do this, I need some time to think", he said, "I'll take you home and then maybe we can talk".
She said, "not tonight, I think I need some time to think about everything", he said, "do you still love me"?, she quickly said, "yes but so much has happened and I just need some time". He nodded his head and said, "okay but will you at least let Reid take you home"?, she said, "that depends is he human"?, Reid laughed and said, "sadly yes".
Penelope said, "I'm sorry I didn't mean anything it's just", Reid raised his hand and said, "I understand, believe me" as they walked toward the door. When she stepped through the door she glanced over her shoulder and said, "thank you Derek, thank you for saving me".
He said, "their isn't anything I won't do for you and our babies, nothing", she weakly smiled as she let Reid escort her to the car. Derek stood watching as the car carrying her pulled away, he then felt a hand on his shoulder and he looked and saw Dave standing there.
Dave said, "just give her a little time, she had no idea what was going on, after she has time to process everything I'm sure it's going to be alright". He sighed and said, "I hope so Dave, I've waited so long to find my soulmate and now that I've found her the truth came out before I could tell her and now I might have lost her forever".
Hotch said, "why don't you go ahead and head home and we'll take care of these bodies", he nodded his head and said, "thanks again for everything". Dave said, "any time son, any time" and they glanced over their shoulders and watched as Derek walked out of the building and headed toward his car.
As he pulled away from his friends he couldn't help but wonder if he'd lost everything, if she didn't want him anymore he couldn't say he blamed her, he after all was a vampire. The closer he got to his house the more he was being pulled toward Penelopes apartment.
He turned off on her street and grinned as he saw Reid getting into his car and pulling away from the curb, he waved at Derek and then turned right at the corner. Derek pulled up in a parking spot and turned the engine off and headed upstairs, he needed to see her, to hold her, to kiss her, he just needed her.
When he got to her door he raised his hand and knocked, she walked over and opened the door and said, "Derek, what are you doing here"?, he said, "I needed to talk to you". She motioned for him to come in and she said, "go ahead, talk", he sat down and opened his mouth and said, "do you still want to be with me"?, several emotions crossed her face before she finally said, "I love you but I don't know what to do Derek, how do I know that I fell for you of my own free will"?, he said, "I would never do anything against you, or anything to hurt you, I love you".
Tears streamed down her face and she said, "do you love me Derek, like really love me"?, he said, "I do and I have since the day we met". She said, "so it has nothing to do with the legends"?, he said, "well I can't say that but everything the legends say has come to pass so we are destined to be together, you , me and the babies are destined to be a family".
He pulled her down into his lap and gently kissed her lips, at first she didn't respond and then she turned around to where she was straddling his waist as their lips connected again and again. She pulled away and said, "no, no, no", his heart sank and he said, "I'll go".
As he started toward the door she said, "don't go", he turned around and said, "what do you want me to do"?, she said, "I want to know what it's like to make love to human you". He pulled the stone out of his pocket and said, "well then we need to destroy this and then I can show you how much I love you".
They walked to the stove and she turned the burner on and watched as he tossed the stone into the flame, they watched as it turned several different colors. He felt weak, a little dizzy so he sat down for a minute, he then looked up at her and said, "I'm yours that is if you still want me".
She took him by the hand and said, "I want you, I'll want you forever", as they disappeared through the beaded curtain her heart was racing at the prospects of making love to mortal Derek. He pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips and said, "I love you, now and forever you're be my queen", causing her to smile as he leaned in claiming her lips with his.
