Eat Your Heart Out-Ch 14
As the evening continued the little family continued laughing, eating and talking, Penelope loved listening to them talk about their work. Derek could tell that she was in a lot of pain so he went and got her a pain pill and some water and handed them both to her.
She smiled and said, "how did you know'?, he tapped the end of her nose and said, "profiler, remember"? causing her to smile and say, "you're very good at your job". She popped the pill into her mouth and swallowed it with the water and said, "my ribs are killing me".
Reid said, "it will take a few days for the pain to subside", she said, "you're amazing, are you a doctor"?, he said, "I am, I have 3 BA degrees in Psychology, Sociology and Philosophy and I have 3 PHDs in Chemistry, Engineering and Mathematics".
Penelope said, "wow Spencer", he said, "I can also read over 20,000 words a minute", she said, "really"?, he said, "yep really". She looked at him and said, "I bet reading a book for you isn't a problem"?, he shook his head and said, "no I can usually read a full book depending on how big it is in a hour or so".
She shook her head and said, "to bad that you can't remember everything you read", he said, "ohhh but I can, I have a photographic memory to". Derek grinned and said, "pretty boy is our little genius, aren't ya pretty boy"?, Reid said, "my IQ is 187 so technically I'm a genius, yes".
JJ kissed his cheek and said, "and our little Henry is gonna be a chip off the ole block", Reid said, "he is an amazing little reader and his math skills are off the charts". Penelope said, "that's awesome guys", Derek watched her interact with the rest of the team and smiled at seeing how good she fit in with them.
Fran said, "I want you to know that I have eaten at your place before and your chocolate brownie delight is delicious Penelope, I get it every time I eat there". Penelope said, "I love cooking, it let's me be able to vent out frustrations and after what I've been through the past few days cooking is gonna be getting a lot of frustration soon".
Derek said, "speaking of cooking, can I get a pass at the homemade sauce"?, she shook her head and said, "no sir, no sir you may not, you are going to cook just like all my other students". Hotch laughed and said, "like your other students, you mean Morgan is taking cooking classes"?, Penelope said, "he is and he's doing an awesome job".
Derek looked at Hotch and stuck his tongue out and said, "ha ha", Penelope said, "this weeks homework is homemade sauce and we're suppose to taste them in class and then go over what they will be doing for next week". Fran said, "what will they be doing next week"?, she said, "next week is soup".
Dave said, "for their final exam what will they have to do"?, she said, "they will have to prepare a complete dinner at my restaurant including dessert for their husband, wife, girlfriend/boyfriend, whatever". JJ said, "so by the time it comes for their final they will be able to do all of that"?, she nodded her head and said, "yeah, they just got their second week assignment at class the other night and I can't wait to taste some of my students reciepes".
A few minutes later Fran looked at Penelope and smiled and said, "the poor thing is finally asleep", Derek said, "I'm going to carry her upstairs and get her tucked in, I'll be right back". They all watched as he gently picked her up and carried her up the stairs and down the hall toward his bedroom.
Hotch said, "something tells me that Derek has met his match in every way", Fran grinned and nodded her head yes in agreement and said, "I couldn't have said it better Aaron, I couldn't have said it better". Derek laid Penelope down on the bed and covered her up and gently kissed her lips and said, "good night goddess, I love you".
She mumbled something and he grinned and walked back downstairs to rejoin the others so that they could discuss what they were going to do about the Sam situation.
