In this fic, Penelope and Derek are married. The team consists of Hotch, Rossi, Emily, JJ and Reid. Kevin and Penelope are also friends in this universe and never dated.

Penelope woke up alone in bed and extremely nauseous. She tried to look over at the alarm clock but couldn't read anything without her glasses. She swung her arm over and blindly grasped for her glasses. With them on, she could read the time finally, 5:03. She knew Derek would be working out and not back for thirty minutes or so. Penelope tried sitting up but that only made the nausea worse. She then sprinted to the bathroom to throw up dinner from last night. After sitting there, draped over the toilet for ten minutes, Penelope fell asleep.

Derek soon came home from the gym and went upstairs to look for his wife/ get ready for work. He found Penelope sleeping hunched over the toilet. He ran to her side and slowly began rubbing her back. "Babygirl?" he whispered in her ear "Babygirl can you wake up?"

Penelope's eyes fluttered open and she looked around clearly confused for a moment before her eyes landed on Derek.

"Babygirl, what happened? Why are you sleeping on the toilet?" Derek asked.

Penelope didn't answer though, she instead tried to get herself up from the floor.

"Oh no you don't, Babygirl!" Derek exclaimed. He scooped her up off of the floor and placed her in their bed. "Now would you like to tell me what happened?" Derek asked, his hand guiding her chin up so she would have to look at him.

Penelope sighed and said "I was just a little nauseous this morning Hotstuff. I must have fallen asleep there. I feel totally fine now though."

"Totally fine hm?" Derek questioned. He lifted his hand to feel her forehead. "I am not so sure about that, I am grabbing the thermometer even though you don't feel particularly warm." Derek said as he got up and headed towards the bathroom.

Penelope's phone soon started to ring and she quickly answered.

"Garcia, it's Hotch. We have an urgent case and I need the entire team in the office as soon as possible. "

"Got it Mr. Bossman, Derek and I will be in as soon as we can." Penelope replied

"Good, see you soon then." Hotch said and quickly hung up.

Derek appeared at Penelope's side and she could tell he was not impressed with her response to Hotch.

"Derek I feel fine. I can go into work." Penelope said.

"I'll be the judge of that. Open up Penelope." Derek said in a do not mess with me tone.

"Fine" Penelope said and with an eye roll she opened her mouth enough for Derek to slide the thermometer in her mouth.

Within a minute the thermometer beeped, Derek took the device out of her mouth and read aloud "98.4".

Penelope smirked at him "Told you I was fine. Now let's go shower up." She said as she tried to get up.

Derek grabbed her and sat her back down on the bed "Slow your roll babygirl" He took her chin in his hand again. "Do you promise me that you feel okay?" he asked looking deeply into her eyes.

"Yes Derek" Penelope replied. She honestly felt fine right now and she knew they had work.

Derek sighed and did not know what to do. His wife rarely got sick so this was new territory for him.

"Okay babygirl you can go to work. But you have to promise me you will tell me if you feel sick again and if I think it's best you should go home then you will go home." Derek said.

Penelope nodded and said "I promise Hotstuff. Now let's go get ready!" Penelope wiggled out of his grasp and tugged him toward the bathroom.

Penelope and Derek were soon both showered and readying to leave for the office.

"Babygirl, you need breakfast," Derek said as Penelope was packing her purse.

Now while Penelope was particularly hungry after this morning, she knew Derek wanted her and him to always have three meals a day due to their job's long hours. Penelope held up a banana she had placed in her bag and replied "Way ahead of you my chocolate god" with a smirk.

Derek smiled back and grabbed a protein bar, his coffee and his bag. Then they were off to the office. _
