Old Friends-Ch 29

Derek couldn't wait for the doctor to come out so he could find out how his baby girl was doing, he kept pacing back and forth across the room, Fran grabbed his arm and said, "honey sit down and stop pacing, he will come out when he finishes with her examination". He sighed and said, "I know that your right mama but I just want to be able to hold my girl and tell her how much I love her".

Hotch smiled as he looked down at his now sleeping son, he leaned down and said, "mommy and daddy love you buddy", he then held his hand out to his future bride and said, "isn't that right Mrs. Hotchner"?, Emily laughed and said, "were not married yet Aaron". He walked around the bed and gently pulled her into his arms and said, "we will be", she grinned as she rested her chin on his shoulder.

Rossi, Reid and JJ walked over to Fran and said, "what's wrong"?, Fran smiled and said, "Penelope woke up and the doctors are in there checking on her". Rossi pulled out his cell and quickly texted Hotch to let him know that Penelope had woke up, he then turned to Derek and said, "you need to sit down son before you walk a hole in this floor".

Derek looked up and said, "I just need to see my girl and hold her and tell her that I love her Rossi", he smiled and said, "I know son but wearing a hole in the floor isn't gonna make that happen any sooner". Derek laughed and said, "yeah I guess your right", as he walked over and sat down beside his mom.

Emily looked at Hotch and said, "is something wrong", he wrapped his arms a little tighter around her waist and said, "nope everything is great, that was Rossi letting me know that Garcia is awake". She smiled and said, "that is great", he said, "it is because we came close to losing all three of you".

Emmily kissed his cheek and said, "why don't you go and be with the rest of the team and I will stay here with our son", he kissed her lips and said,
"are you sure"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes I'm sure, just give Pen my love and tell her that I will be coming to see her soon". He smiled and said, "I will tell her my love", Emily smiled as she watched the owner of her heart walk out the door.

A few minutes later Hotch walked up to Derek and said, "have you got to go in and see her yet"?, Derek shook his head no and said, "nah not yet they are still in there checking on her". Hotch smiled and said, "don't worry Morgan she is gonna be fine, she loves you and there is nothing that can keep her away from you".

Derek opened his mouth to say something and that is when they heard the door open, Derek stood up and walked over to the doctor, Dr. Smith smiled and said, "she is asking for you Derek". He smiled and started to walk away, he said, sorry that it took us so long but she is very short of breath right now because of the tube, so limit her talking".

Derek nodded his head as he walked into the room, he walked over to her bed and leaned over and kissed her on the forehead and said,"I love you so so much goddess and I was so afraid that I had lost you". She opened her eyes and looked at him, she reached out and put his hand in hers and said,
"I lllove you ttto hottsstuffff".

Derek put his finger on her lips and said, "sshhhhh baby, you aren't suppose to talk, you need to save your strength", she smiled and he brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it. He looked down at her and said, "when I thought I was gonna lose you, I thought I was gonna die", she gently caressed the side of his face and wiped away the stray tears that were running down his face.

Hotch walked over to the rest of the team and said, "I have some good news", JJ smiled and said, "what's up Hotch", he grinned and said, "I asked Emily to marry me and she said yes". JJ pulled him into her arms and said, "ohhhhhhhhhhh Hotch that is great news". Rossi patted him on the back and said, "have you told Jack"?, he nodded his head and said, "yeah we told him everything".

Reid smiled and said, "everything meaning that Emily is his mom", Hotch sighed and said, "yes and he was very very happy about it and before he fell asleep he asked Emily could he call her mom". Rossi grinned and said, "We are all happy for you and Emily, so when is the big day"?, Hotch grinned and said, "just as soon as Emily and Jack get out of the hospital".

Derek smiled at Penelope and said, "I have missed seeing those beautiful eyes of your goddess", she smiled at him and squeezed his hand a little tighter. He laughed and said, "there is something I want to ask you baby girl", she looked at him and said, "mmme firstt", he sat there and said,"ok baby, you can go first".

She smiled at him and said, "DDerek, I llove you mmmore than aaanythinggg elsssse in ttthe wworld", he smiled and said, "I love you to sweetness", she smiled and said, "Derek wwwhat I ammm ttrying to ssay is, "DEREK MORGAN WILL YOU MARRY ME"?
