Princess Penelope-Ch 20

Penelope and Derek walked back into the Jareau home and caught JJ and Reid making out on the couch, Reid blushed and said, "sorry didn't hear you guys come in". Derek laughed and said, "it's alright pretty boy", JJ looked at Penelope and said, "what's wrong"?, Penelope said, "he knows the truth JJ".

Reid said, "truth, what truth"?, JJ said, "uhhh Garcie", Penelope said, "I know, I know but I can't keep it a secret any longer JJ", Reid said, "excuse me, you can't keep what a secret"?, Penelope said, "JJ I need you to call and get Hotch and Em here". JJ said, "are you sure"?, she nodded her head and said, "I am".

A few minutes later Hotch and Em walked through the front door and Emily said, "what's up chick"?, Penelope said, "he knows Em"?, Emily said, "Derek knows"?, Derek said, "yeah, I know, she told us tonight". Hotch and Reid looked at each other and then at Emily and said in unison, "THEY KNOW WHAT"?, Penelope said, "let's sit down and then I can tell the two of you everything", they nodded their heads as they walked over and sat down on the couch.

Meanwhile in California Dave was having a glass of scotch when his butler Charles walked into the room, he said, "yes Charles", Charles said, "sorry to bother you sir but a friend is on the phone for you". Dave said, "a friend, who"?, Charles smiled and said, "Joshua Tolliver sir", Dave said, "thanks Charles".

Charles handed him the phone and said, "you're quite welcome sir" and turned around and walked out of the room, Dave smiled and said, "hello Joshua how are you doing"?, Joshua said, "long time no talk Dave". Dave laughed and said, "that it has my friend, that it has", the friends then started talking and getting caught up on each others lives.

They had been talking a few minutes before Joshua said, "guess who I saw today"?, he said, "it's hard to tell Josh", Josh laughed and said, "Douglas and his son Sam". Dave said, "you saw them where exactly"?, Josh said, "here in Virginia", Dave said, "you saw both Douglas and Sam there"?, Josh said, "yeah, I saw them but they didn't see me".

Dave said, "well old friend it looks like I might be making a trip are to Virginia", Josh said, "good, good and you are more than welcome to come stay with us at our place". Dave said, "I think I'll take you up on that", Josh said, "good, when are you coming"?, Dave said, "I need to pack and make a few arrangements, a few calls and then I'll head toward the family jet"

Josh said, "okay so I guess we'll see you early in the morning", Dave said, "I'd say somewhere around 7 or 8", Josh said, "be safe Dave and we'll see you then", Dave smiled and said, "see you soon buddy, see you soon". After the call ended Dave said, "Charlessss", he walked into room and said, "yes sir", Dave said, "we need to pack a few bags for me".

Charles said, "how long will you be gone sir"?, he said, "I'm not really sure soooo how about packing me enough stuff to last for at least a month", Charles said, "that will keep you out of town past the 4th of July sir". Dave nodded his head and said, "true Charles, I need to spend some time with my daughter, I have some things I need to talk to her about".

Charles nodded his head and said, "I'd get started packing sir", Dave said, "thank you Charles", he then picked up his cell and pulled up Penelopes number and hit talk. In Virginia Penelope said, "yes Reid a real princess" and her cell started ringing, she pulled it from her purse and smiled, she said, "excuse me I need to answer this, it's my father" and they watched as she got up and walked across the room.

She said, "hi daddy", he smiled and said, "hi sweetie", Penelope said, "are you alright"?, he said, "honey we need to talk", she could tell by his tone that something was wrong and she said, "yes, yes we do daddy". Dave said, "I can tell by your voice that somethings wrong, what's up Bella"?, Penelope said, "they know dad, they know who I really am".

Dave said, "honey that makes it unsafe for you there", she said, "no, no it doesn't dad, everything's fine, I'm still safe", he said, "honey have you noticed anybody following you"?, she said, "no, why"?, Dave said, "I got a call from Joshua and he told me something that's troubling me". Penelope said, "what did he say dad"?, Dave took a deep breath and said, "Douglas and Sam are there in Virginia with you".

She said, "w w why"?, he said, "I don't know but I intend on finding out that's why I'm on my way", she smiled and said, "on your way, like on your way here to Virginia"?, he said, "yes princess". Penelope said, "I can't wait for you to meet Derek and the others daddy", he said, "and I can't wait to meet them either sweetie", she said, "when are you leaving"?, he said, "I have a few calls to make while Charles packs my bags and then I'll be heading to the jet".

Penelope said, "please be careful daddy", he said, "don't worry honey I will be and I'll see you in the morning", she said, "see you in the morning daddy, I love you". Dave smiled and said, "I love you to baby, now go have fun with your friends and don't worry about me", she said, "I'll try daddy, I'll try" and then Dave said, "bye Bella".

Penelope smiled and said, "bye daddy" and then she blew out a deep breath and said, "time to head back downstairs and let the others know that daddy is coming for a visit". As she headed back into the other room she couldn't help but wonder what Douglas and Sam were doing in Virginia, she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "whatever it is it can't be good".

A smile then covered her lips when she saw Derek walking toward her, he intertwined their fingers and gently kissed her on the lips and said, "I love you", she sighed and said, "I love you to" as they walked back over to rejoin the rest of their little family.
