Never Yours-Ch 24
As Derek and Rob scooped up their wives into their arms JJ and Emily took Savannah into custody while Dave and Hotch took Rodneys surviving associates into custody and led them from the courtroom. Derek ran his hand down Penelopes back and said, "it's over baby, it's over, I've got you", she broke down in Dereks arms and said, "it's over, it's over".
Rob kissed the top of Desirees head and said, "I'm here Des, I'm here, you're safe, you're safe", Hotch walked over and said, "are they okay"?, Derek and Rob nodded their heads yes and Derek said, "they're alright, shaken but okay". Dave said, "let's get them out of here", Rob and Derek held their wives close as they led them out of the courtroom.
A few minutes later Penelope and Desiree were wrapped in the loving arms of their husbands, they couldn't believe what had happened, that Rodney had come so close to getting his hands on them again. Penelope said, "is he really dead"?, Derek kissed the top of her head and said, "yes baby, he's really dead, he can't hurt you or Desi ever again".
Desiree looked at Rob and said, "hold me, please hold me and never let me go", Rob held her closer and said, "I'm here Desi and I'm never letting you go, not ever, I promise, I promise". Dave and Hotch walked into the room and Dave said, "are you ladies ready to head back home"?, Penelope and Desiree nodded their heads and said, "yes please" in unison.
Reid said, "what about Savannahs trial"?, Hotch said, "I talked to the judge and she said that she's heard everything that she needs to from the girls and that we were free to go home". Derek said, "home sounds good", Dave said, "we'll go grab our things and be ready to head home in a few minutes", Penelope and Desiree smiled and then cuddled close to their husbands again.
Rob said, "why don't you stay here with Derek and Penelope and I'll go get our things", she nodded her head yes and watched as Rob got up and walked across the room and out into the hall. Derek said, "when he gets back I'll get our stuff ready okay sweetness"?, Penelope looked up at him and said, "okay handsome, okay" and she wrapped her arms tighter around him and laid her head back down on his chest.
About an hour later Hotch, Emily, JJ, Reid and Dave walked onto the BAU jet and Derek, Penelope, Rod and Desiree walked onto the Rossi jet, Dave had called Fran and let her know what had happened and she wanted to have some food ready and waiting for everybody. She figured that after everything they had been through that some family time was just what everybody needed.
After the jets took off Derek got on the couch beside his wife and held her in his arms, Rob had his fingers intertwined with Desirees and she climbed into his lap and laid her head on his chest. Both couples were still sitting that way as the jets both landed a few hours later, everybody walked off of the jets and headed toward the waiting SUVs.
As they climbed into the cars Penelope said, "I can't wait to hold my baby in my arms", Desiree smiled and said, "me either, right now an evening with the family is just what we need". Penelope smiled and said, "I couldn't have said it better Desi", Rob smiled and pulled his beautiful wife into his arms as they pulled away from the airstrip and headed to casa Morgan for a entire evening filled with food, laughter and family.
