Reunited-Ch 25

The team watched as both the suspect and his fathers bodies hit the floor, the sheriff aimed his gun and fired at Derek causing him to hit the ground and moan in pain. Hotch walked over and kicked the gun out of his hands while Reid and the girls checked on Derek, Reid said, "are you hit"?, he shook his head and said, "no I'm alright I just jarred my ribs pretty boy that's all".

Emily said, "PG is going to kill you if you get hurt", he grinned as they helped him up and said, "I think I might have had a little two much fun on my honeymoon". Reid covered his ears and said, "TMI Morgan", JJ said, "did you get the okay from the doctor before you two started having sex"?, he said, "I sure did and she said as long as we take it easy sex is fine".

JJ said, "and let me guess you two were all over each other and having sex everywhere"?, he grinned and said, "yep and if I had it to do all over again I sure would". Reid laughed and said, "let's get you back to your wife so we can hurry and get out of this town", Derek wrapped one arm around Reid and said, "sounds good to me".

Penelope was sitting in front of her computer when she heard the team walking into the room, she turned around with a smile on her face but that smile soon fell when she saw that Reid was helping Derek. She jumped up and ran over and said, "what happened"?, Derek said, "nothing sweetness I'm fine",
she said, "uhhhhhhh no you aren't".

Reid said, "we got shot at and he hit the floor and he just aggravated his ribs and stomach that's all", she looked at Derek and said, "when are you gonna listen to me"?, he opened his mouth and she said, "I need some air". Dereks heart dropped as he watched her race from the room, he looked at Reid and said, "I've got to go to her pretty boy".

Reid said, "just be careful", he gabbed his stomach and said, "I will" and JJ walked over to Reid as Derek walked out of the conference room, when Derek got outside the station he saw Penelope sitting on a bench crying. He walked over and sat down beside her and said, "I'm so sorry baby", she wiped away a tear and said, "you've got to stop doing this to me Derek".

He gently squeezed her hand and said, "baby I didn't get hurt, all I did was aggravate my injuries", she looked up at him and said, "you have to keep yourself safe for me, for us". He put his hand on her stomach and said, "I will baby, I will always be here for you and the little one", she laid her head on his shoulder and said, "I could have lost you twice in a matter of days and my heart can't take it".

He kissed the top of her head and said, "I'm sorry baby, please tell me that you believe me"?, she nodded her head and said, "I believe you handsome I do". He wrapped his arm around her and said, "I would never intentionally do anything that would take me away from you or our baby", she looked up at him and smiled.

JJ looked out the window and said, "everything seems to be alright", Hotch said, "she's just scared that's all and after what he's been through over the past 9 months I can't say I blame her". Dave walked over and said, "we need to get our stuff ready and head to the jet", Hotch nodded his head as everybody headed toward the door.

About half an hour later a very tired Derek walks onto the jet with his arm wrapped around his baby girl, they sat down on one of the couches and he leaned over and kissed her lips gently and said, "I am sooooooo glad to be going home". Penelope sighed happily as she laid her head on his shoulder and said, "it's good to be able to take you home, it's been a long time and Clooney has missed you something awlful".

Derek laughed and said, "I've missed him to, I've missed all of you", he kissed her lips gently and said, "especially you Mrs. Morgan", she rested her forehead against his and said, "the feeling was mutual Mr. Morgan I can assure you of that". Hotch smiled as he ended a call right before sitting down beside his wife.

Emily said, "you have a huge smile on your face, is something up"?, he sighed and said, "we have been given the rest of the week off", Reid said, "but I thought". Hotch said, "orders from the director, he said that after everything we'd been through that we needed some time off", Derek smiled up at him and said, "I can't wait to lay in my bed and watch a little tv and spend some time with my baby girl and my boy Clooney".

As the jet taxied for takeoff derek laid his head back against the seat and closed his eyes and a few minutes later Penelope kissed his cheek and she whispered, "sleep well my love, sleep well".
