Why-Ch 52

Fran looked up and saw her son walking toward them and she said, "Derek how is Penelope and the baby"?, Derek smiled proudly and said, "Penelope and our daughter are fine momma, wonderfully fine". Fran hugged him and said, "awww you have a daughter", Derek said, "and she's beautiful momma, I can't wait for you to meet her, for all of you to meet her".

Dave said, "congratulations daddy", Derek hugged Dave and said, "thanks grandpa", Dave smiled and said, "and proud of it to son, proud of it", Hotch and Emily said, "congratulations" in unison as they pulled him into a hug. Derek said, "the doctor is sewing Penelope up right now and then she'll be in recovery for a while and then you'll get to meet our little angel".

Emily said, "have you thought about names", he said, "we've tossed a few around but not decided on anything for sure yet", Fran said, "well she was impatient and wanted to meet her mommy and daddy 6 weeks early". Derek said, "the most important thing is that she's here and both her and her beautiful momma are both safe and healthy", everybody nodded their heads yes in agreement.

Derek said, "any news from pretty boy"?, Dave said, "he's wanting to have a video chat with us later", Derek said, "is something wrong"?, Dave said, "we're not sure but we're hoping not". Derek was pulled from the conversation when Anita walked over to him calling his name, he quickly turned around and said, "is Penelope and the baby alright", Anita said, "calm down Derek, they're both alright".

He sighed and said, "you scared me doc", she said, "I didn't mean to scare you it's just that Penelope wants to talk to you", Derek said, "isn't she in recovery right now"?, Anita said, "she is and usually we don't let anybody back there but this is important". Derek said, "what's important"?, Anita laughed and said, "you two need to decide on a name for the baby".

Derek said, "ahhhhhh yes, yes we do", he looked at the others and said, "she'll be in room 444 if you guys want to go ahead up and wait on us", Fran smiled and said, "give her a kiss for us baby boy and tell her we love her". Derek said, "I will momma, I will" and then they watched as Derek followed the doctor up the hall and disappeared behind a set of double doors.

Meanwhile across the U.S. Reid and JJ were sitting in the room waiting on the nurses to bring Melody when the doctor walked in, Reid said, "is something wrong doctor"?, she said, "I just wanted to let you know the cause of Cats death". Reid said, "I figured it was either a heart attack or maybe an aneurysm"?, she nodded her head and said, "you would be correct with the aneurysm Spencer".

JJ said, "was their any signs of it before the delivery"?, she shook her head and said, "nope, none, I guess it was all of the pushing and it caused a lot of trauma to her body when Melody was born". Reid nodded his head and said, "speaking of Melody, any news on the paternity tests"?, she said, "as a matter of fact, yes" as she held up the paper from the chart.

JJ intertwined fingers with her husband as the doctor said, "their is no doubt that you Spencer Reid are the father, you match 100% with Melody", Reid smiled and said, "thank you doctor, thank you so much". The doctor said, "you're welcome and I'm so sorry for everything that you and your family went through because of her".

Reid said, "me to but she can't hurt us any more, she's done all of the damage to us that she's gonna be able to do", JJ nodded her head and said, "she thought that she could break us up by forcing Reid to cheat on her and forcing me to watch the whole thing happen". The doctor shook her head and said, "it takes a warped mind to do that kind of thing", Reid and JJ nodded their heads yes in agreement.

It was only a matter of a few seconds before the nurse walked into the room pushing the bassinette containing Melody, the doctor said, "I'll go and let the three of you have some time to bond as a family". Reid said, "thank you", she said, "if you need anything please let us know", JJ said, "we will doctor, we will", Reid then picked up his daughter and said, "hello there princess daddy and mommy have missed you".

JJ kissed the baby on the top of the head and said, "that we have little one, that we have" as the baby snuggled closer to Reids chest as she slept, JJ said, "I can't believe how much like the boys she looks". Reid said, "and she's going to have everybody wrapped around her little finger", JJ laughed and said, "ohhhh yes, of that I have no doubt".

Back at the hospital Derek is led into the recovery room, he walks over to Penelopes bedside and sits down, Penelope said, "we need to decide on a name for our little princess". Derek said, "what name were you thinking"?, she wiggled her finger and he leaned in and she whispered it into his ear, he smiled and said, "that's perfect, I love it, I love it".

Penelope smiled happily and said, "I love you Derek", Derek brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it and said, "and I love you baby girl", the two sat laughing and talking until it was time to move Penelope to her room on the forth floor.
