Who Wants To Marry Derek Morgan-Ch 25
Aaron jumped off his horse yelling, "Penelope, oh my god Penelope are you alright"?, she opened her eyes and said, "I I I think so", she looked up at Aaron and said, "my head hurts". Emily was standing beside Derek talking about the competition when her cell rang, she pulled it out of her pocket and said, "this is Emily".
Aaron said, "Emily this is Aaron, I'm on a ride with Penelope and her horse got spooked and threw her", Emily said, "oh my god is she alright"?, he said, "she said that her head hurts". She said, "where are you on the trail"?, he said, "we are about half a mile from the lake", Emily said, "I'll call for an ambulance, we need to take Penelope to the hospital and get her checked out, just to make sure that she is alright".
He said, "do you want me to get her up and head that way"? she shook her head and said, "no, we will come to you", he looked down at Penelope and said, "see ya soon Emily". Derek said, "what happened to Penelope"?, Emily said, "she went on a ride and the horse got spooked and threw her and she is complaining of a headache".
Derek ran toward the stable with Emily right behind him, on the way Emily called 911 and filled them in on what happened and when the ambulance was enroute she climbed on the horse and followed Derek up the trail heading toward the lake. The closer Derek was getting to his baby girl the faster his heart was beating.
Aaron was holding Penelopes hand when Derek and Emily made it to the scene, Derek ran over and said, "baby girl are you alright"?, she said, "my head hurts handsome and I'm dizzy but other than that I think the only thing hurt was my pride". Emily and Aaron walked to the horses and she asked, "what happened here"?,
he said, "we were talking and suddenly Sweetpea rared up and threw her".
Emily said, "did the horse see a snake, or get stung or anything like that"?, he shrugged and said, "I didn't see a snake, it is possible that she got stung but I thought I heard something walking in the leaves right before she got spooked". Emily looked over her shoulder and said, "do you think that somebody did this on purpose"?, he leaned in and said, "it is highly possible but I couldn't swear to it" and it didn't take long before sirens could be heard coming up the path.
The medics walked over to Penelope and checked her and said, "we are going to go ahead and transport her just to be on the safe side", Emily said, "is she alright"?, one medic said, I think that she has a concussion, we won't know for sure until we get her to the hospital and get her checked out but I'm almost positive".
Derek stepped aside to let the medics get Penelope loaded onto the gurney, Emily put her hand on his shoulder and said, "are you going to go to the hospital with her"?, he nodded his head and said, "yes, I'm not letting my baby girl out of my sight". Emily grinned and said, "I'll be there just as soon as I can but if you find out something please let me know", he nodded his head and said, "I will Em, I promise".
Tamara looked up from her seat beside the pool and saw Jordan sneaking back into the mansion, she thought that Jordan had gone upstairs to shower and rest for a little while before lunch. She got up and followed her inside and said, "where were you"?, she swallowed hard and said, "I was just out in the flower garden".
Tamara said, "what's that all over your shoes"?, she looked down and said, "it must be mud from the garden", Jordan said, "well I believe I'm going to go inside and take a shower" and before Tamara could say anything else Jordan ran up the stairs and into her room. Tamara shrugged her shoulders and headed back outside to wait for lunch.
Emily walked toward her car and was stopped by one of the camera men, he leaned in and whispered, "Emily we have something that you need to see", she said,
"hang on and let me make sure that Penelope is heading to the hospital first", the man nodded his head and said, "we'll head back to the camera truck, can you meet us there"?, she nodded her head and said, "I'll be there as soon as I can".
The camera man nodded his head as he turned and walked back over to join the rest of his crew as they headed back toward the truck, as she watched them leave she couldn't help but wonder what it was that they wanted her to see. She watched as Penelope was loaded and then she watched as Derek waved over at her before disappearing behind the ambulance.
Once the medics had Peneope loaded into the ambulance Derek climbed in beside her and put her hand in his, she smiled up at him and said, "I'm going to be fine Derek, you don't have to go". He brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "I know I don't have to but I want to, I want to make sure that you are alright".
Penelope sighed and said, "you need to get back to the mansion", he said, "why are you trying to get rid of me"?, she said, "I'm not trying to get rid of you it's just, don't you have a massage to give tonight"?, he laughed and said, "the massage can wait because right now you my beautiful baby girl are the only woman on my mind".
Emily took a deep breath as she stepped into the back of the camera truck, she walked over and said, "what was it that you wanted to show me Chris"?, he put the take in and said, "you aren't going to believe this". Emily sat down beside him and watched as everything unfolded, she couldn't believe what she was seeing.
The medic looked down at Penelope and said, "how are you feeling"?, she said, "nauseated, dizzy with a headache", the ambulance pulled out heading toward the main road. The medic checked her eyes and said, "are you having any trouble seeing Ms. Garcia"?, she shook her head and said, "no but I am getting really really dizzy".
The medic got on the radio and talked to the ER doctor about her symptoms and he told them to hold off on any medications until she gets to the hospital and gets checked out. She laid her head down and closed her eyes as the medic worked to get her hooked up to an IV, she opened her eyes and smiled up at Derek.
Derek leaned in and kissed Penelope on the lips and said, "baby girl you scared me to death, are you sure that you're alright"?, she squeezed his hand and said, "I'm going to be fine Derek, please don't worry about me". He said, "how can I not worry about my baby girl"?, she laid there holding his hand as the ambulance roared into the ER entrance.
