The Heart Knows-Ch 55

At the hospital Reid smiled as he watched his exhausted wife sleep, he then turned to see his daughter waking up, he grinned as he picked her up and kissed her chubby cheek. He held her close and said, "you are daddy's princess and nothing is going to change that Sophia, nothing".

JJ opened her eyes and said, "now that's a beautiful picture", Reid looked at her and said, "did I wake you up"?, she shook her head and said, "no, I just woke up to the sight of you holding our daughter telling her that she's your princess", Reid leaned down and kissed JJ and said, "that's because she is my princess".

Reid said, "while you were sleeping the doctor came in and said that she'd release you and the baby early in the morning, that is if you are ready to go home". JJ said, "ohhhh I'm ready Spence, I'm ready" as their attention then turned to their fussing daughter.

Reid said, "okay little one okay" as she handed her to her mother, JJ kissed her daughter on the top of the head and said, "are you hungry princess" as she lowered her gown. She put the baby to her chest and smiled as she quickly latched on and started sucking.

JJ said, "it's okay daddy, she was just hungry weren't you sweetie"?, Reid watched as JJ took her finger and gently caressed their daughters cheek and said, "mommy and daddy love you Sophia Grace, we love you with all of our hearts", Reid nodded his head yes in agreement and said, "now and forever sweetheart, now and forever".

When Jillian was finished talking to Derek and Hotch Derek said, "he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison so you won't have to worry anymore". Jillian said, "that's the best news I've heard in a long time but I am sorry to hear about your ex wife", Derek said, "thank you" as they stood up and walked over toward the door.

As they stepped out onto the porch Hotch said, "thank you again for talking to us", Jillian said, "you're very welcome and thank you for getting him off of the streets". Derek and Hotch smiled and nodded their heads yes in agreement as they turned around and headed down the steps and headed toward their car.

When they pulled away from the curb Hotch said, "are you ready to head back home"?, Derek said, "I am", as they hit the highway Hotch said, "what's going to happen with Savannahs burial"?, Derek said, "I don't know, I guess I need to call her parents and see if their is anything I can do", Hotch then watched as Derek pulled his cell out and started dialing his ex in laws number.

At home Penelope sighed as she sat down on the couch, Emily plopped down beside her and said, "you doing okay PG"?, Penelope said, "yeah, just a little nauseous that's all". Emily said, "how about I fix you some tea, would you like that"?, Penelope said, "ohhh yes please, that sounds great, thank you Em".

Emily smiled and said, "no problem" as she stood up and headed through to the kitchen, a few minutes later she walked back into the room with Penelopes tea. After Penelope took a few sips she sighed and said, "thanks Em, that really hit the spot", Emily said, "good, I'm glad that I could help you".

Penelope looked at her friend and said, "soooooo can I ask you something"?, Emily said, "sure, anything"?, Penelope said, "are you and bossman thinking about having more kids"?, she nodded her head and said, "we are but what if". Penelope said, "what if what"?, Emily said, "what if I'm not a good mom"?, Penelope said, "that's not going to happen you're amazing with Jackers and Henry, Hank and Michael loveeeeeee you".

Emily smiled and said, "thanks PG I needed to hear that", they were pulled from their conversation by the sound of Derek and Hotch walking through the front door. Derek walked over and kissed is wife on the lips and said, "you okay sweetness"?, she said, "yep, what were you able to find out"?, Derek and Hotch then spent the next few minutes filling them in on everything that was said.

When they were through Penelope said, "I'm glad that he's in jail now where he can't hurt anybody else", Derek said, "me to baby girl, me to". He blew out a deep breath and said, "I talked to Savannahs parents", Penelope said, "how did that go"?, Derek said, "not good, not good, they are taking everything very hard".

Penelope said, "what are they going to do"?, Derek said, "Savannah already had her arrangements made", Emily said, "are you going to go to the service"?, Derek shook his head and said, "no, they asked me not to and with everything they are going through I'm not going to put more on them by showing up".

Penelope intertwined their fingers and said, "when are you going to tell Hank"?, Derek sighed and said, "I was hoping that you and I could tell him together"?, she said, "of course, of course". Hotch took a deep breath and said, "Hank is a lucky boy because he has the two of you as his parents", Derek and Penelope smiled at each other and then their friends.

A few seconds later Dereks cell started ringing, he pulled it off his belt and said, "it's Abby, she's calling back with Savannahs autopsy results" as he took a deep breath and hit talk.
