A Lovers Vengeance-Ch 21

Dereks heart started racing when he heard the gunshots, he pulled away from the girls and ran up the stairs, he pushed the door open and saw Penelope on the floor and said, "noooooo". He ran over to her and dropped down to the floor and said, "sweetness talk to me", she opened her eyes and said, "D D Derek"?, he pulled her into his arms and started rocking her back and forth.

She said, "are you alright"?, he said, "a little dizzy but I'm alright, are you alright, did he"?, she said, "I'm alright, he didn't rape me, they got here in time to keep that from happening again". Derek kissed her gently on the lips and said, "I love you", she said, "and I love you", Hotch said, "Garcia are you sure that you're alright"?, she nodded her head yes as Derek helped her up off the floor.

Reid walked over and said, "he can't hurt you anymore Garcia, he's dead", she took a deep breath as she looked down at his body and said, "I'm free from you now, you can't hurt me now Kevin". Dave said, "Morgan, why don't you and the girls take her out of here"?, they nodded their heads yes in agreement as they helped her out into the hall and down the stairs.

Emily said, "Morgan are you sure that you're alright"?, he said, "I'm dizzy", she said, "what happened"?, he said, "well baby girl was going up for a bath before bed so I told her that I would lock up and clean up the kitchen". He said, "I had just finished loading the dishwasher when I felt a sticking sensation in the side of my neck".

JJ said, "were you able to get any hits in on him"?, he said, "yeah a few but things went black to fast for me to stop him from going upstairs", Emily said, "and what happened after he ended the call"?, she said, "he threw my phone across the room and shattered it against the wall". Derek gently squeezed her hand as she said,
"then he h h he grabbed me and threw me on the bed".

Reid walked downstairs and listened as she said, "I hit him in the nose and rolled off the bed and then all I heard was gunshots", Reid said, "the ME will be here to get him in a few minutes and I called for a medic to check you and Morgan out". Derek said, "pretty bo" and Reid said, "humor me please", he held up his hands and said, "alright, alright".

Penelope leaned over and kissed Reid gently and said, "thank you my little heap of gray matter", he blushed and said, "I'm just glad that you're alright", she took a deep breath and said, "I'm fine, scared and my face hurts but I'm good". Derek said, "I'm glad that he can't hurt you anymore", Hotch walked downstairs and said, "how did he even get in here"?, Derek said, "he told me that he slipped inside when we were all in the dining room eating".

Reid shook his head and said, "I can't believe that he did this and if Garcia hadn't grabbed her cell and hid in the closet we never would have known before it was to late". Derek brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it and Hotch said, "Dave wanted me to tell you two that he wants you to come home with him tonight and then we'll figure out something else tomorrow".

Derek looked at Penelope and said, "what about it sweetness"?, she said, "a night at casa Rossi sounds good to me", Reid looked up and saw the ambulance pulling up in front and said, "the medics are here". They all stepped back as the medics checked Derek and Penelope out, after a few minutes they were both given the all clear and allowed to leave.

After hugging all of her heroes she intertwined fingers with Derek as they made their way out the door and down the path toward Dereks car, the ride back to Rossis didn't take long and soon Penelope felt the loving arms of Fran Morgan Rossi wrapping around her. Fran said, "are you sure that you're alright"?, she said, "sore and my face hurts but other than that I'm okay".

Derek said, "I'm alright to momma, just a little dizzy but I'll be okay in the morning", Fran said, "would you like something to drink"?, Penelope said, "thank you but I'm going to head up to bed". Derek kissed his mom on the cheek and said, "me to momma and thanks for letting us stay here tonight", she said, "you and your baby girl are welcome here anytime honey, anytime".

Fran then watched as Derek wrapped his arm around her waist as they disappeared at the top of the stairs, when they stepped into the room Derek kissed her gently and said, "is it alright if I stay in here with you"?, she nodded her head yes as she climbed onto the bed. He watched as she laid down, he then laid down behind her and wrapped her up in his arms.

He kissed the side of her neck and said, "I'm so glad that you're safe", she glanced over her shoulder and said, "I'm glad that we're both safe and sound and cuddled up here in this bed". They both yawned and then snuggled closer and closed their eyes and it wasn't long before they had both drifted off to sleep and the sound of soft snoring filled the room.
