Friends And Lovers
Ch 28
The flight home Derek spent worrying about Penelope, why was she staying so sick and tired all of a sudden, he was pulled out of his thoughts when Reid said, "are you alright Morgan"?, he said, "oh I'm sorry Reid what did you say"?, he sat down beside Derek and said, "what's wrong, you seem really out of it". Derek said, "I'm just worried about Penelope right now Reid that's all".
Reid said, "what's wrong with her"?, Derek sighed and said, "she is staying sick at her stomach and throwing up alot and for the past several days she is staying really tired". Reid smiled and Derek said, "what's so funny pretty boy"? he looked at Derek and said, "well it is probably one of two reasons", Derek said, "what are the two reasons"?, Spencer said, "she could have a stomach virus".
Derek said, "ok that is reason number one so what is reason number two"?, Spencer grinned and said, "well she could be pregnant", Derek couldn't do anything but smile when he said, "really"?, Reid laughed and said, "yes really". Derek said, "a little baby, how did that happen"?, Reid laughed and said, "well it happens when", Derek said, "I know how it happened Reid", everybody laughed.
A couple of hours later Penelope was just finishing with shutting her babies down when she got a text from Derek letting her know that they were pulling into the parking lot. She smiled as she stood up and headed out the door, when she got to the elevator the doors opened and the first smiling face she saw was Dereks, he pulled her into his arms and kissed the top of her head and said, "god how I have missed you goddess".
when they pulled apart he gently kissed her lips and said, "how are you feeling"?, she sighed and said, "tired my love, tired", Hotch looked at him and said, "paperwork can wait, take Penelope to the doctor and see what's wrong and be sure to call us and let us know". Derek grinned and said, "thanks Hotch", he led Penelope onto the elevator and wrapped his arms around her as the doors closed.
A few minutes later they were walking into the hospital, Penelope walked over to the desk and the nurse looked up and said, "have you been here before mam"?, Penelope nodded her head yes and said, "several years ago". The nurse said, "just sign your name right here and I will take you on back and get you checked out", Penelope signed her name and then intertwined fingers with Derek as the nurse motioned for her to follow her into a cubicle.
Penelope sat down and the nurse said, "what do you need to see the doctor about today"?, Penelope opened her mouth to say something and she suddenly was hit with a wave of nausea. She covered her mouth and the nurse watched as she emptied the contents of her stomach into the trash can, Derek said, "she has been staying nauseated and vomiting and staying very tired lately".
The nurse said, "mam, when was your last period"?, Penelope sat back down beside Derek and said, "I haven't had a period since April", the nurse smiled and said, "I am going to need a urine specimen and then the doctor will be in to see you in a few minutes". Penelope took the cup and smiled as the nurse led her to the bathroom, Derek sighed happily as he sat back in his chair.
When Penelope walked back into the room and sat down beside Derek the doctor walked in carrying her chart and said, "alright Ms. Garcia I am going to order some blood work and when I get the results back I will be able to tell you what is making you feel so tired". The nurse walked into the room and smiled as she got ready to draw Penelope's blood.
Derek reached over and intertwined his fingers with hers as the nurse said, "you are going to feel a little stick", Penelope closed her eyes and it wasn't long before the nurse said, "alright mam we're done". She sighed and said, "how long before you know the results"?, the doctor said, "I have put a rush on your results so maybe 45 minutes to an hour".
Penelope sat back and said, "thank you doctor", he smiled and said, "you are very welcome and I will be back as soon as I can with the results", they watched as both the doctor and nurse walked out of the room. Derek ran his thumb over the top of her hand and said, "I love you baby girl", she laid her head on his shoulder and said, "I love you to handsome".
They sat there wrapped in each others arms until the doctor walked back into the room with her chart and test results, Penelope took a deep breath and said, "do you know what's wrong with me"?, the doctor nodded his head and said, "yes Ms. Garcia". The doctor sat down in the chair across from them and said, "according to both your urine test and your bloodwork you are pregnant Ms. Garcia".
