One month later...
Derek stood up with the sound of Penelope throwing up in the bathroom. In the last four weeks, he witnessed his wife becoming ill without knowing what was wrong.
No one seemed to discover the cause of the sickness and pregnancy was out of the question. He decided that suspending the vitamin pills was against the doctor's order and was one of the only things that did not seem to leave Penelope.
The frequency of vomiting has become more in the last week. Rossi was in a panic over his marriage to Erin. And Derek thought it was anxiety.
On the day set for a private ceremony, Penelope could not even stand in the room. Not until the judge ruled Rossi and Erin husband and wife that Penelope fainted.
Rossi acted quickly and Erin ran to help. That was wrong. Penelope was interned and Edgar made sure she received the medicine again.
He even changed the color and shape to take Penelope and everyone to believe that it was just a safe remedy.
The sickness began to subside and Derek thought that everything was going well. He did not even realize how much Penelope would get worse from now on.
Three months later...
Derek knew there was something wrong when he came to his case when he met Fran and his daughters, and she looked at him in fear.
- Mom? Derek looked around the corner. "Where's Pen?" - What's the problem?
- She's lying down. Fran started to cry. "I tried to wake her up, but she can not move, I do not know what's wrong. Since yesterday, after you finished the case.
Dropping the bag to the floor, Derek climbed the steps and ran into the bedroom. Erin was sitting on the bed with Penelope and very worried. Rushing up, Erin left. She could not do it anymore.
Derek came up to his wife's bed. She could barely keep her eyes open. His heart broke and something very bad was wrong.
- Penelope. He touched her burning cheek. - I'll call an ambulance.
- Derek. Her voice was barely a whisper. - Do not leave me alone.
- I'll get the cell phone. Derek ran outside. - I need an urgent ambulance.
Rossi came up worried. He saw his daughter become ill and not at all better.
- Dad? Penelope began to despair. - Somebody turn the light on!
Rossi ran and knelt in front of her. The light was on and he just wanted it to be a nightmare.
- Honey. He took her hand. "Can not you see?"
Penelope shook her head and moaned. The simple movement made her sick with nausea.
- Derek. Rossi called his son-in-law. - Call everyone. This is not right.
Picking up the box of prescription pills, he had a bad feeling. Was your daughter poisoned?
- Penelope! Derek shouted. - Please do not.
She released a convulsion in her too weak body and Derek lifted her with a little more force. She needed to be conscious.
- Where's the fucking ambulance! Derek shouted. - Do not leave me.
Hotch ran upstairs. The scene in front of him made him want to fall and cry.
After the ambulance that Erin called arrived, Derek and Rossi accompanied Penelope to the emergency room.
To say that she got even worse on the way was almost an irony. Her pressure went down, her heart seemed to jump jumps ornamental and she fell unconscious.
Edgar had been transferred almost a month ago. He could not stand and raise suspicion. Penelope was the only one who he had prescribed pills with arsenic and that would be suspect.
When Pen entered the emergency room, Derek lost all his strength and fainted in the doorway.
Morgan! Rossi ran. - I need help here!
- Take his legs. "A nurse brought a stretcher. - Sir? Can you hear me? Get a room and a doctor, quick.
Hotch arrived and signed for Derek while Rossi signed for his daughter. Fran arranged Aurora and Kirsten and along with Erin went to the hospital. Things got out of control so fast.
Half an hour later, a young doctor left and went to talk to Derek's family and Pen's mother-in-law.
"Mr. Morgan is under observation. He announced. "He has signs of arsenic, and we suspect his wife is having the same symptoms, too."
"Are they going to be okay?" Fran took over. - My son And my daughter-in-law, will they be all right?
"Mr. Morgan can leave in the morning." He paused. "Miss Morgan needs to stay in the intensive unit until the first dose of the antidote arrives.
Rossi said nothing. He took the medicine box from his pocket and went to the hospital lab. He needed to see that doubt.
- Can I help you? A girl with kitten glasses turned around. - Sir?
- Agent Rossi. FBI. He showed the badge. "I'd like to check out this medicine."
The girl put on a pair of gloves and took the box. Pulling the card, she frowned. These were not vitamin tablets.
Breaking one of the capsules, she put it on a device and was frightened.
"Is your friend taking this?" She saw him nod positively. - Arsenic?
- I had no idea. Dave sighed. "Why would anyone give arsenic in pills?"
- I have no idea. The girl wrote a note. - There were vitamin substances in them so it may have been handled.
"Derek would never give Penelope the pills anyaway. Rossi had to hold on. - He loves her.
"Maybe I need to talk to him." The girl said. - Here's a chemical analysis check.
Rossi left and decided to confront Derek. He did not want to believe that the agent would deliberately try to kill Pen.
Morgan stared at the wall in front of her. He looked at Rossi and could tell that the profiler and his wife's father had questions.
- I'll give it a try. Rossi gave the report. "The pills you gave Penelope had high levels of arsenic. Why would you try to kill your wife, Derek? Why after all that happened, you just could not separate like a normal person?
- What you mean? Derek looked at him. - I did not give pills with arsenic. They were vitamin pills prescribed by Pen's former doctor.
Understanding fell on both men. Derek did not know what was in the pills and he felt sick to think he was unknowingly poisoning his wife.
- What's his name? Rossi sat up, unable to stand. - When it started?
"Right after Pen lost the baby." Derek felt his throat close. - Oh my God. What did I do?
"You're not to blame, Derek. Rossi saw his son-in-law begin to despair. "He knew Pen would accept that, and you would be a scapegoat to him, even if you knew nothing.
"I can not lose her, Dave. Derek started to cry. - I need to ask for forgiveness.
"Did you take any pills?" Rossi was intrigued. - Because you also have mild contamination.
- Just two. Derek was annoyed. "Pen told me to try it, but they did me wrong. His name was Edgar Patterson.
Rossi picked up the phone and dialed an available analyst. Hotch and Reid in the waiting room while Emily and JJ took care of the kids at home.
Erin and Fran were with Penelope while she was getting a tube to help her breathe better.
Fran could not believe that Pen was targeted again. The expression on Rossi's face when he returned was nervous.
- Hotch. "He went to his friend. - We have a problem.
