The Heart Knows-Ch 53
Penelope screamed, "Derekkkkkkkkk", he said, "it's okay, I'm okay, I'm okay", he quickly cuffed a moaning Scott and looked up and said, "call Hotch". Penelope nodded her head as she ran over and picked up her cell and started dialing Hotchs cell number, she stood with her heart racing as she waited for him to answer.
After what seemed like forever she finally heard, "Garcia"?, Penelope said, "sorry to call you so late but we have a slight problem here". Hotch said, "problem, what's wrong"?, Penelope said, "we came home and Derek got a call from the hospital about Savannah so I came on inside and Scott was here. he was here in our house waiting on us".
Hotch said, "are you and Morgan alright"?, she said, "yeah we're fine, I'm so glad that Hank went home with Dave and Fran tonight, I'm glad he wasn't here to see this". Hotch looked at Emily and said, "we need to get to Derek and Penelopes, Scott broke in to their house and is there now", Emily nodded her head and grabbed her things and as they headed out the door Hotch said, "we're on the way".
Derek looked at Scott and said, "why did you do it Scott, why did you have Savannah killed"?, he sighed and said, "being with her was never meant to be a permanent thing, sooooo when she saw the true me I had to get rid of her". Derek said, "so you had to kill her to get away from her"?, Scott laughed and said "after she knew the truth about the brusies on Hank I had to get rid of her, I couldn't have her telling anybody that would listen now could I"?, Derek shook his head and said, "I hope you like tight sleeping spaces because you're going to be in a 6x6 cell for the rest of your life".
Penelope walked over and said, "Hotch and Emily are on the way over", Derek said, "I can't believe that this is finally over, he's going to spend the rest of his life where he belongs, in prison". Penelope said, "I just hate that he had to kill Savannah, I didn't care for the way she treated you and Hank but she didn't have to die", Scott laughed and said, "are you seriously feeling sad over that cows death, trust me when I say that if it were you that was dead she wouldn't give you a second thought, not a second thought".
Derek said, "Penelope isn't that way, she sees the best in everybody", Scott looked at her and said, "don't worry that will change, life will make you like it did me in time". Penelope shook her head and said, "nothing will ever and I do mean ever turn me like you, I love people, I love life and I love my family and I will do anything to make sure that they all stay happy, healthy and safe".
Scott laughed and said, "ohhh so sweet, so innocent, no wonder Derek wanted to get you in the sack, I bet you're a wildcat, he then felt the sting of her hand across his face. He smiled and said, "definitely a wildcat, I just hate that I got the chance to try you out", Penelope stood there with Dereks arms wrapped around her until Hotch and Emily knocked on the door a few minutes later.
Emily stood with Penelope watching as Hotch took control of the scene, Penelope leaned in and whispered, "he's so good at that isn't he"?, Emily nodded her head and said, "he is PG, he really is". She said, "excuse me for a few minutes I need to make a call", Penelope nodded her head and smiled as she watched Emily walk away.
As she dialed the familiar number she smiled knowing that she was doing what was best for everybody, she loved being the leader of the BAU but she always knew that Hotch needed and deserved the spot. She glanced over her shoulder and saw him talking to the local police, she grinned and said, "this is SSA Emily Hotchner for the director", a few minutes later she walked over and wrapped her arm around her husband and kissed his cheek.
He looked at her and said, "what was that for"?, she said, "can't a wife just kiss her husband for no reason"?, he said, "of course she can Em", Emily winked at her and said, "we need to talk". Penelope said, "we'll go into the kitchen and give you two some privacy", with Scott already on his way to jail Hotch nodded his head and said, "thanks Garcia", she smiled and said, "no problem bossman, no problem".
When they were alone Hotch said, "what do we need to talk about, is something wrong"?, she shook her head and said, "no my love nothing is wrong, everything is right, everything is perfect". He kissed her lips and said, "I love you", she said, "and I love you and I need to tell you something", he said, "alright, go ahead I'm all ears".
She blew out a deep breath and said, "I just talked to the director", he said, "the director, why"?, she said, "I resigned as head of the BAU, so now I'm just SSA Emily Hotchner". Hotch said, "why did you resign"?, she wrapped her arms around him and said, "you deserve that job, you are the best Aaron and after watching how easily you took charge of the scene earlier I knew what I needed to do".
He said, "oh Em", she said, "please don't be mad", he said, "I'm not mad but you didn't have to do that", she said, "I know but I wanted to, you deserve the best of everything". He kissed her lips and said, "and with you by my side as my wife I "surely do have the best of everything", she smiled and he said, "are you sure about this"?, she nodded her head and said, "I am, congratulations bossman" causing him to smile.
Derek and Penelope walked back into the room and Derek said, "everything okay in here"?, Emily said, "everything is fine right bossman"?, Penelope and Derek looked at each other and then at Hotch. He sighed and said, "Em resigned", Derek said, "resigned, why"?, Hotch said, "she said she wanted me to have the job as leader of the BAU again", Derek said, "that's awesome, congratulations Hotch, welcome back".
Penelope hugged him and said, "welcome back bossman, welcome back", Hotch grinned and said, "thanks Garcia it's good to be back, good to be back".
