Tamara Barnes has spent the last five years in a mental institution. She lost her head as soon as she discovered that she was pregnant with a man she had once stayed with when she was depressed and it was not her beloved Derek.
She never forgot the black man and almost wanted to hit Penelope Garcia, now a Morgan. She knew planting the seed of mistrust in the girl would be easy.
After she had Jane, Tamara was taken to a psychiatric hospital. The girl's interior was completely lost.
Now, at last free, she sent a letter to Derek and his wife. She barely even believed he married Penelope. When she saw her one day at the agency, she thought they were too close.
When Penelope checked into the hotel, she made a scene to talk to her friend and was allowed to go up to Pen's room. Now with the gun, she would finally end her enemy and be a mother to both her and Derek's girls.
Penelope sent a message to Derek, apologizing. She reflected for all forty minutes, made and reworked the beads, and discovered that the little girl could not have been more than six years old and was too white for the two of them.
She jumped to her conclusions and did not speak to Derek. She knew he would never betray her and would not marry her if she had a baby with Tamara. She felt stupid, really.
Derek looked at the cell phone, ready to exclude the message that had arrived, but found that it belonged to his wife. It was the address from where she was. He had given her space as Hotch suggested, while everyone was looking for her. No one blamed her for escaping.
- Hotch. Derek tapped softly. - I got the address.
Hotch turned to Derek, a terrified expression.
- Derek. Hotch was strangely calm. - Something happened.
"Tamara tried to kill Penelope ten minutes ago. Rossi began. There was a fight and Penelope was shot in the arm. Tamara was taken to surgery.
"And Penelope?" Derek felt his world break. "What happened to my wife?"
"They found her in shock on the floor of the room. Hotch replied. "It was self-defense, they have been able to prove it, but Pen is sedated and restrained.
Taking his coat, Derek hurried to the hospital. His wife had to shoot someone and he was not there. And from what Hotch and Rossi told her, she tried suicide.
Entering the hospital room, he ran to her side and laid his head on her chest. Derek needed a sound that said she was here.
- Derek? Penelope's small voice warned him. "Why can not I move?"
"You're contained, Baby. Derek did not understand how she could not remember. "Did they say you tried to kill yourself?"
"Derek, I did not do that. She saw the shock in Derek. "Please get me out of this."
Kissing her face, Derek left the room. Something was wrong. He believed in Penelope. They were not in the hospital as usual.
- Sorry Officer. The doctor locked Pen's room with a key. "She needs to stay out of touch."
-Actually, it's agent. Now, open the door. Derek shouted. - Open it or I'll kick it.
Morgan. Rossi ran. - Where's my daughter?
"She did not attempt suicide. Derek saw Rossi's expression of shock and anger at the doctor. "She looks very drugged and tied up, could not keep her eyes open for someone who was very intent on trying to kill herself for defending herself.
"I suggest you open the door, Doctor." Rossi felt the knob. - Derek wins to break doors and I could easily buy new doors for every room of that hospital.
The doctor, afraid, opened the door and Dave shot him a murderous look. Entering the room, his concern seemed to increase as did Derek's. Penelope swam between consciousness and unconsciousness the way they could be noticed.
- Derek. She moaned. - Help me.
He could not stand it any longer. Taking a step forward, he broke the moorings and pulled Penelope from the feeding serum. She looked incredibly well.
"You said she tried suicide." Hotch lifted the clipboard. "But there's nothing about it here.
- I want a lawyer. The man said suddenly. "I do not say anything else without one."
Reid found someone clamoring for a lawyer. It was when Hotch handcuffed him that Spencer noticed something different. The man looked like Tamara.
Derek kept an eye on Pen as she was examined. The scrape shot on the bandaged shoulder and she was practically in good health.
"She did not attempt suicide. Hector burst through the door. "David called me.
- It's good to see you. Derek smiled sadly. "I've seen so much evil with her. The marks she has.
"I did a DNA pattern on the little girl you sent me the sample. Hector pulled a document out of his purse. "There's no chance of you being her father."
"Tamara had been sent to a psychiatric ward for five years. Derek started. "Her mother says that after she realized that her boyfriend was not me, she went insane. She was talking about killing Pen.
"I'll go over Penelope and give something to the shoulder." Hector replied. "When she goes home, talk to her.
Derek lifted Pen in his arms, ever since she was asleep. He never saw Penelope so upset and saw Rossi arguing with a man.
"I'd like an evaluation from Miss Barnes." The doctor said. "She needs to go back to the psychiatric hospital before she hurts anyone."
Derek passed Rossi and the doctor, watching his father-in-law's reaction. He put her in the car and got out of there after Rossi walked in with them.
Tamara was sent back to the clinic in Ohio as soon as she was released from the hospital.
Penelope woke up in her bed, surrounded by her daughters and her perfect husband. She turned to him, kissing his lips, as passionate as she could with the presence of her girls.
- I am sorry. Penelope asked. "I did not want to doubt you."
- I understand what happened. Derek replied. "I know exactly what it is to doubt someone. Just never leave me without another word. I could not will stand it.
- I love you Derek. Penelope saw her daughters embrace as they awoke. Hey, girls.
"Are you all right, Mother?" Kirsten asked. - I'm happy about that.
- I 'm Baby. Pen smiled. "Just one more scar."
"Do you want some cereal?" Derek asked the two daughters. "You better get down there and ask Uncle Dave for cereal."
"Thank you, Father." Aurora kissed Derek's cheek. - I love you.
"And you, Kirsten?" Derek pulled a box out of the closet. "Penelope has a present for you and your little sister.
She took the package down and smiled. They were two dolls of the same color and similar models.
Penelope was saving for Christmas but decided to give her an early gift.
"I have one for you too, Morgs. Penelope smiled. "I set an appointment with Hector to see why it's not working.
"Then I want you in that apartment." Derek whispered in his ear. - Let's go?
- Let's go. Penelope tossed the covers aside. - Now.
Leaving instructions with the helper to take care of Kirsten and Aurora for a few hours, Derek took Pen to the apartment.
Today, they would take away all the pain. And Derek was going to make one of Penelope's dreams come true.
