Meant To Be-Ch 36
Penelope, Fran, Sarah and Desi all looked at each other as the sound of a gunshot filled the air, Tyler jumped up in her arms and wrapped his arms around her neck and said, "mommyyyyyyy". She hugged him protectively and said, "it's alright little man, it's alright'.
Fran said, "please let them be alright", Sarah said, "don't worry momma they're going to be fine", Desi tried to smile as she said, "she's right momma, they're fine". Penelope kissed the top of her sons head and said, "it's okay sweetie, mommy's here, mommy's here" as she rocked the frightened little boy back and forth.
Meanwhile upstairs Reid watched as Derek kicked Sam in the face causing him to fall back on the floor, Hotch said, "Morgan are you alright"?, Derek looked down at his arm and said, "yeahhhh it's just a graze, I'll be fine man".
Dave said, "I know that everybody downstairs has to be scared to death so I'm going to go and get them and bring them up here". Derek said, "I'll go with ya" and as they headed toward the hidden door Hotch, JJ and Emily worked to secure the scene and notify the locals about the apprehension of Sam and his goons.
As they started down the stairs Dave said, "it's us, we're coming in", when the door opened Fran threw her arms around her husband and her son at the same time. Derek said, "it's okay momma, everything is okay now".
When Fran pulled away she saw blood on her arm and she said, "oh my God, you've been shot", Penelope looked up and said, "s s shot, you were shot"?, he said, "it's okay, he just grazed my arm, see" as he first showed his mom and then walked over to his fiancée.
Penelope reached up and touched his arm and as tears fell down her face she said, "you got hurt because of me, I'm so sorry". He cupped her face in his hands and said, "you have nothing to be sorry about, none of this is on you baby, none of it".
Tyler touched his daddys arm and said, "daddy has a owwie"?, Derek kissed the little boy on the top of the head and said, "yeah buddy but daddy's fine". Tyler smiled and leaned down and kissed Dereks arm and said, "alllllllll better now".
Derek grinned and said, "thanks little man, that made daddy allllll better", the little boy smiled as he ran across the room to his grandma Fran and Clooney. Penelope said, "are you sure that you're alright"?, he kissed her lips and said, "I'm fine, I promise".
He smiled at her and said, "it's over, Sam and all of his goons have been arrested and cuffed", she said, "so how long before the police get here to take them away"?, he said, "it shouldn't be long Hotch has probably already made the call".
Jack said, "are mommy and daddy alright"?, he said, "they sure are kiddo, everybody is alright", Henry said, "when can we go upstairs"?, Dave said, "not until the bad guys are gone, okay"?, the little boys nodded their heads yes in agreement before they headed over to play with Clooney and Tyler.
Sam looked at Hotch and said, "I'll be out in no time, you know that right"?, Hotch shook his head and said, "not this time". Sam laughed and said, "Penelope has no memory of what happened so she's not going to be of any help to you".
JJ said, "shut up", Sam winked at her and said, "you're a feisty one aren't you"?, she said, "you have the right to remain silent remember so if I were you I'd shut my mouth until the police get here". He smiled at her as he repositioned himself on the floor.
Derek said, "are you alright sweetness"?, she said, "I I I need to see him Derek", he said, "no you don't", she said, "yes, yes I do". Dave said, "it might help", he looked at her and said, "are you sure about this, are you sure that you want to go up and face him"?, she nodded her head yes in agreement and said, "I'm positive hotstuff".
He took a deep breath and said, "okay but I'm not going to leave your side", she grinned and said, "that's good because by my side is where I want you to be for the rest of my life". Derek kissed her gently on the lips and said, "deal" as they headed toward the stairs.
Sam looked up and smiled as Penelope and Derek came into the room, he said, "well hello Penelope", she took a few steps and stopped. Derek said, "baby are you alright"?, she stood there looking into space not answering him.
Derek said, "Penelope, can you hear me"?, Hotch said, "I think she's remembering something", Penelope stood there as memory flash after memory flash hit her. Sam grinned as he sat there smiling at her as she stared into space.
When the flashes were over she pointed her finger at him and said, "I I I remember", Sam said, "you remember what"?, she smiled and said, "everything, I remember everything". The smile soon fell as he realized he was going to prison for everything he'd done.
