With A Little Help From My Son-Ch 15
When Derek and Penelope walked into the room their hearts broke, Hank was sleeping and he looked so pale and so so fragile. As they stood over him watching him sleep Derek said, "why would anybody want to do this to him, he's such a sweet, innocent little boy".
Penelope gently squeezed his hand and said, "I don't know why anybody would want to hurt him", Derek blew out a deep breath and said, "he looks so little doesn't he"?, she nodded her head and said, "he does". Derek said, "I can't lose him baby girl, not now, not ever".
Penelope said, "he's going to be fine, he's not going anywhere, he's a fighter just like his daddy" causing Derek to weakly smile. All he could do was stare at his little boy and wonder what would have happened if they hadn't gotten him to the hospital on time.
At Jasmines she was sitting and drinking tea when their was a knock on her door, she opened the door and said, "can I help you"?, Dave and Hotch flashed their badges and Hotch said, "I'm Aaron Hotchner and this is David Rossi, we're with the FBI and we need to talk to you for a few minutes".
She stepped back and said, "yes, yes of course" and she watched as they stepped inside and walked over to the couch and sat down. She said, "what is it that you want to talk to me about"?, Hotch said, "the poisoning of Hank Morgan".
Jasmine said, "p p poisoning, I didn't poison anybody", Dave said, "we have eye witnesses that saw you going into Dereks beach house". Her mouth flew open and she said, "I I I never meant any harm to the little boy, I just wanted".
Dave said, "YOU WANTED WHAT, THAT LITTLE BOY IS MY GRANDSON, MY GRANDSON", Jasmine said, "it wasn't meant for Hank it was meant for Derek". Hotch said, "that's what we figured that's why Jasmine you are under arrest for endangering a minor, assault and criminal trespass".
As they slapped the cuffs on her wrists she looked down at the floor and shook her head while Dave read her rights to her before loading her into the back of a police car. As the police care puled away Dave said, "she's gonna pay and pay big time for what she did to Hank", Hotch nodded his head in agreement as they turned around and headed back toward their cars so that they could get back to the hospital.
Meanwhile in Hanks room he starts moaning as his eyes open, he says, "daddy", Derek leans down and says, "yeah buddy, I'm here, we're here". He said, "wh what happened"?, Derek said, "we're thinking that Jasmine drugged the lemonade for me and you drank it".
He laid there thinking for a few minutes and then said, "I wanna go home", Derek said, "I know Hank, I know" as he sat there holding the little boys hand. Hank looked up at Penelope and with tears streaming down his little face he said, "mom, please don't leave me".
Penelope looked at smiling Derek and said, "you don't have to worry, I'm not going anywhere" as she put the little boys hand in hers and sat down on the other side of his bed. As he fell back asleep he smiled as he looked at his dad and the woman he now considered to be his mom, Penelope.
