Dance Of Love-Ch 21
It wasn't long before Derek was moved to his room, the team and Penelope were talking when they noticed that Derek had drifted off to sleep, Penelope said, "if it's alright with you Fran I'd like to stay here tonight with hiim"?, she said, "it's fine with me honey but what about work"?, she said, "I work here so it isn't a bit problem".
Hotch said, "speaking of work, Penelope can I speak to you for a minute out in the hall", she nodded her head and said, "sure", the family then watched as the two walked out into the hall. Hotch looked at Penelope and said, "has Derek talked to you about working for us"?, she grinned and said, "he has", Hotch said, "does that sound like a job that you might be interested in"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes it does".
The two then spent the next few minutes talking and the more Hotch talked about the job the more it was interesting her, she grinned and said, "so would I be working with all of the teams or just yours", he said, "mainly ours but sometimes the others to". She sat back in her seat and said, "I was just offered another job earlier today".
Hotch said, "one that you're interested in taking", she said, "yes", he said, "so now I guess you have to pick between the two", she grinned and said, "both of them sound really good". He sat there and listened as she told him about the perks at the other job, when she was finished he said, "wow that job comes with a lot of perks doesn't it"?, she laughed and said, "yeah it does".
He said, "we would love to have you work with us, I've never seen anybody else have the skills you do", she smiled and said, "why thank you sir", he grinned and said,
"please call me Hotch". She said, "thank you Hotch", he said, "you won't have regular hours any more if you take this job and sometimes you might be traveling with the team".
She grinned and said, "traveling with the team"?, he said, "yes because sometimes I'm gonna need you to talk to the press and family members of the victims", she said,
"you all have hard job". Hotch said, "it is but when we are able to save innocent people it's work the risk we take each day", she bit down on her bottom lip and said,
"if you'll excuse me I think I'll go for a little walk and do some thinking".
He nodded his head and said, "sure go ahead", she started up the hall but turned around and said, "please tell hotstuff if he wakes up before I get back that I won't be gone long". He smiled and said, "I sure will", she smiled and then turned around and headed up the hall, Hotch stepped back inside with a huge smile on his face that didn't go unnoticed by the team.
Emily said, "well, how did it go"?, he said, "good, very good I believe", Dave said, "where did she go"?, he sighed happily and said, "she went for a walk, she said that she had a lot to think about but that she wouldn't be gone long". Reid smiled and said, "I think she's going to take the job", JJ said, "me to Spence", Hotch said, "I hope so but she was offered another job earlier today".
Everybody then listened as he filled them in on everything he and Penelope talked about out in the hall, Fran looked down at her sleeping son and then up at Hotch and said, "something tells me that Penelope Garcia is going to be my daughter in law". Dave kissed her gently on the lips and said, "I totally agree with you Bella", she winked at him before sitting down beside Dereks bed.
Penelope was walking down by the fountain thinking, she was thinking about what she wanted to do, she blew out a deep breath and said, "both jobs sound great Garcie now you need to decide which one you want". She sat down on the bench and bit down on her bottom lip as she started weighing the pros and cons of both jobs, if anybody would have walked by they would have thought that she was crazy.
After a few minutes of talking to herself she stood up and headed inside to fill everybody in on her decision
