Chasing Happiness-Ch 37
Penelope stood there and said, "when are you going to get it through your head Savannah, he doesn't want you, he never did and he never will", Savannah laughed and said, "when he and I made love it was my name he was moaning over and over as he exploded inside of me not yours". Penelope said, "the minute I met Derek there was sparks and I tingled allllllll over and it was then that I knew that we would be together, that we belong together".
Savannah said, "things with Derek and I were amazing, from that first touch everything was electric", Penelope said, "Savannah I don't want to hurt you I never have but Derek loves me and wants to have a life with me and my girls". She shook her head and said, "I love Derek and we belong together, we are perfect together but the two of you, well you are complete opposites".
Penelope said, "haven't you heard the saying that opposites attract"?, she said, "well yeah" and Penelope said, "Savannah I didn't want you to find out this way", she said, "find out what"?, Penelope held up her finger and said, "Derek proposed to me, we're getting married on Valentines Day". Savannahs eyes fell to Penelopes finger and she said, "n n no, that can't be right".
Penelope lowered her hand and said, "it is Savannah it is right, Derek and I belong together, we're perfect together and the four of us make an amazing little family and that's the way it's meant to be". Savannah slowly sat down and said, "after all this time he doesn't want me, he really doesn't want me"?, Penelope took a few steps and joined her on the couch.
Savannah looked at the ring and then up at Penelope and said, "he really doesn't want me"?, Penelope shook her head and said, "I'm sorry Savannah but you know that you can't control who you fall in love with"?, Savannah smiled and said, "that's true". Penelope said, "neither of us wanted to hurt you but you need to know and to accept that Derek doesn't want you, he wants me".
She stood up and got hit with a dizzy spell, Savannah looked up and said, "are you alright"?, she said, "I I I", Savannah said, "Penelope are you alright"?, she felt everything going black. Savannah watched as Penelope collapsed onto the couch, she quickly checked for a pulse and said, "Penelope I need for you to wake up, can you hear me Penelope"? and after several tries of bringing her to she pulled out her cell and dialed 911.
As she looked down at Penelope she wondered what was wrong and hoped that she was alright, it wasn't long before 911 and security ran into Penelopes office, Savannah filled them in on what was happening and after the medics checked her vitals they quickly got her loaded onto the gurney. Savannah followed them out and being a doctor decided that she should ride to the hospital with her just to make sure that she was going to be alright.
A couple of hours later Penelopes eyes opened and she looked around and said, "wh wh where am I"?, Savannah walked closer and said, "you fainted", Penelope grabbed her head and said, "fainted"?, she said, "yeah you fainted". Penelope said, "I haven't been feeling good for the past couple of days ", Savannah said, "have you been tired and nauseated"?, she nodded her head and said, "yeah, how did you know"?, Savannah took a deep breath and said, "Penelope I think you're pregnant".
Penelope sat up in the bed and said, "that can't be right, I can't be", they both looked at the door when the doctor walked inside and said, "she's right Penelope,
you're pregnant". Her hands went to her stomach and she said, "h h how far along"?, the doctor said, "around 5 weeks", she smiled and said, "a baby, we're really going to have a baby"?, the doctor nodded her head and said, "yes you're going to have a baby".
Savannah started backing out of the room, she didn't want to be there anymore, she knew that she had lost, she knew that Derek belonged with Penelope and the baby only made that more clear. She sighed as she turned around and headed toward the elevator at the end of the long hall, she couldn't believe it she had lost Derek and she would never get him back and that was something she was going to have to accept.
The doctor looked at Penelope and said, "your friend called 911 and rode in the ambulance with you, she was quite persistent that you get help and fast", Penelope sighed and said, "s s she did"?, the doctor nodded her head and said, "she did". Penelope smiled as she rubbed her stomach and she wondered why Savannah did that, why did she get her help and ride with her, she was pulled out of her thinking by the doctor saying, "I'm going to release you just as soon as that bag of IV fluids is gone".
Penelope nodded her head and said, "thank you doctor", as she laid there she couldn't help but smile as she couldn't wait to tell Derek that they were going to have a baby. Meanwhile at the end of the hall the elevator doors opened she started to step inside when she heard the deep booming voice of the man that had once owned her heart saying, "what did you do to her"?,she held up her hands and said, "I didn't do anything I swear".
Dave and Hotch grabbed her by the arms as they headed back toward Penelopes room, they were going to find out what was going on and they were going to find out right now.
