My Name Is Derek Morgan-Ch 21
Penelope was laying in her bed with her eyes closed when she heard a knock at her door, she opened her eyes and said, "come in guys", JJ and Emily stepped inside the room and walked over to her bedside. Emily said, "where's Derek"?, Penelope put her hand on her stomach and said, "he's talking with the therapist but he should be back soon".
JJ said, "how are you feeling"?, she said, "physically fine but Jayje what have I done"?, she sat down on the side of the bed and pulled her friend into her arms and said, "Garcie you didn't do anything wrong, you and Morgan are the victims here". She pulled back and said, "I had sex with another man Jayje", Emily said, "PG you didn't know that he wasn't Derek, none of us did".
She looked up and said, "that still doesn't make it right Em, I was unfaithful", JJ said, "Garcie you need to calm down, this stress isn't good for you or for the baby". Penelope said, "said, "that's another thing, what if this baby isn't Dereks what if it's his", Emily said, "right now what you need to focus on is getting some rest".
Penelope said, "how can I rest when I've destroyed not only my life but my husbands and possibly my childs"?, Emily said, "you did no such thing", Penelopes heart monitor started beeping. JJ said, "Garcie please calm down", Penelope grabbed her stomach and said, "I I I can't, I can't calm down", they all looked up when they heard several people running toward the room.
The doctor said, "can you please step out into the hall", JJ and Emily quickly got out of the way so that the doctor and nurses could do their best to try and calm Penelope down. Once they were in the hall JJ said, "I hope that she's going to be alright", Emily said, "me to Jayje, me to", all they could do at that point was just watch and pray that both Penelope and the baby were going to be alright".
The doctor said, "Penelope I need for you to calm down", she shook her head and said, "I can't, I've really messed things up", the doctor looked up and said, "your heart rate is dangerously high, I need for you to calm down or I'll have to give you something to calm you down". Penelope grabbed her stomach and said, "owwww it hurts, it hurts".
Jessica said, "Derek I would like to see you again later today or in the morning, are you okay with that"?, he nodded his head and said, "I'll do anything to get my life back". She said, "I would like to maybe try something during our next session", he said, "try something, like what"?, she said, "what about hypnosis"?, he said,
"I can't remember anything".
She said, "maybe under hypnosis you will be able to", he said, "at this point I'm willing to try almost anything", she said, "how about I get you back to your room and your wife"?, he smiled and said, "I'd like that". She stood up and put her hands on the wheelchair as they turned around and were then headed out of the room and back up the hall.
Meanwhile in Penelopes room the doctor said, "I need a fetal monitor STAT", the nurse nodded her head as she ran out of the room, JJ and Emily watched helplessly as the nurse disappeared around the corner only to come back a few seconds later and run into Penelopes room quickly closing the door behind her. The doctor said, "I'm going to hook you up to the monitor and check on the baby".
Penelope nodded her head as wave after wave of pain hit her, the doctor quickly saw that the baby was in distress, she then looked at Penelope and said, "Penelope I am going to be totally honest with you, if you don't calm down there is a chance that you could miscarry". Penelope said, "I can't lose this baby", the doctor said,
"I need for you to try to calm down".
Penelope said, "I I I don't feel good" and then she collapsed against the pillows, the doctor said, "I need the crash cart", the nurse pulled the door open and ran out into the hall. Jessica saw JJ and Emily sitting in the hall and said, "what's going on in there"?, JJ said, "her heart monitor started going crazy", they then watched as the nurse pushed the crash cart into the room.
Seconds later they heard the doctor say, "charge the paddles we're losing her"
