Snatched-Ch 21
The next day passed by fast with Tamika and Fran keeping Penelope company since the team had been called away on a case. Derek didn't want to go but Penelope assured him that her and the kids were in the best of hands at home and after a few kisses he reluctantly went with the team.
Tamika smiled and said, "Derek is a great man", Penelope and Fran nodded their heads and Fran said, "he reminds me so much of his father, Hank was a great man to". Penelope sighed and said, "from what hotstuff told me about the case they might be gone for a few days".
Fran nodded her head and said, "yeah Dave said the same thing to me", Tamika grinned as Penelope said, "I bet Ty is in hog heaven right now". Fran said, "ohhhh I don't doubt it, I'm sure his aunts are spoiling him rotten", Tamika said, "he's such a sweet little boy and after everything he's been through, after everything everybody has been through a little spoiling is good", Penelope and Fran nodded their heads in agreement.
Penelope looked up at the door when her doctor walked into the room, she smiled as she was asked, "how are you feeling today"?, she said, "sore but good". The doctor said, "are you up for maybe holding your beautiful daughter today"?, Penelope quickly said, "yesssss" causing the doctor to laugh.
Fran said, "how is little Jazzy"?, the doctor said, "she's doing great and she might get into a regular incubator later today". Penelope said, "that's wonderful news", Tamika listened as Fran said, "any idea when I'll get to take my girls home"?, after a few minutes the doctor said, "well today is Wednesday sooooo maybe by this weekend I'll be able to send them home".
Penelope said, "no offense doc but I'd rather be home sleeping in my own bed", she said, "no offense taken, I can't say I blame you there". Fran said, "and when she gets home both her and my granddaughter will be taken care of and watched very closely".
The doctor said, "it will be a few weeks at least before Penelope is up to par so she will definitely have to take it easy, no lifting, not a lot of bending, nothing like that". Penelope said, "not a problem, I'll be good, I'll do whatever it takes to get out of here and get home".
Penelope listened as the doctor said, "let's get you up and get you down to your daughter, how does that sound"?, Penelope said, "like heaven, I can't wait to hold her in my arms". Fran said, "if it's okay with you we'd like to snap a few pictures, maybe a video so that we can send them to Derek"?, the doctor said, "no problem at all" as she watched Fran and Tamika get Penelope up and ready to head to the NICU.
As Penelope was wheeled into the NICU her heart started racing, she couldn't believe that she was finally going to get to hold her daughter. Fran and Tamika were right behind her as she was pushed over to the nearby rocking chair.
Tamika helped her up and into the chair as Fran filmed the doctor getting Jazzy out of the incubator and walking her over to Penelope. When she put the baby into Penelopes arms tears streamed down her face as she looked down at her daughter.
Tamika snapped a few pictures of mother and daughter while Fran filmed the precious mother/daughter bonding time. Penelope smiled and said, "hello gorgeous, I'm your mommy", the little girl squirmed in her mommys arms and Penelope said, "you look so much like your daddy, yes you do".
Fran smiled and said, "she's a fighter like her momma", Penelope said, "when I think about the possibility of losing this little angel it breaks my heart". Tamika said, "she's safe and sound and where she belongs and that's in the arms of her mommy".
Derek was sitting with the rest of the team at the police station when his cell started beeping, he smiled as picture after picture appeared. The team gathered around and grinned as they got to witness the beautiful mother/daughter bonding session.
When they were finished looking at the pictures and video Derek wiped his eyes and said, "let's catch this sick freak and get back to our family". Everybody nodded their heads in agreement as they once again started going over the evidence so that they could hopefully catch the unsub and get back home to the rest of their family.
