I just want to take a moment to say thank you for all the follows, favorites and reviews! I really appreciate it and I love reading the reviews. Also, a shout out to my beta reader, Ivy K. She helps so much with all my stories and I cannot thank her enough for her contributions.

Derek followed Reid out of the hospital to some benches. Once they were seated, neither one spoke. One was angry at this new development and the other was trying to contain his anger that had been bottled up for months. Derek looked at Reid.

"One night I stayed late at the BAU and when I was walking through the garage I saw Penelope's car. I thought it was funny it was still there. I walked up to the car and she was inside and she was crying. I opened the door and talked to her but she didn't respond to me. I tried everything. I brought my car closer to hers and picked her up and then put her in my car. I made arrangements for her car to be moved to her apartment. I brought her home with me and put her the spare bedroom. She cried herself to sleep that night and I slept in a chair that night. I didn't want her to be alone when she woke up. She didn't move from that bed until Sunday."

Reid took a deep breath before he continued.

"On Sunday night she told me what happened between the two of you. She was so broken in ways I never want to see again. She didn't want to live anymore. I convinced her to eat, take a bath, and go back to sleep. In the morning she was ready for work like nothing had happened. But the sparkle that she had was gone. I kept an eye on her when we were in the office making sure she had little contact with you as possible. You made that part easy since you stopped talking to her altogether. That day you announced your engagement, we had just gotten back from the doctor. She had been feeling off for about a month and she suspected she was pregnant. Her fears where confirmed. You looked so happy telling everyone that you were engaged she decided not to tell you. That same night she came to me to tell me that she was leaving. That it was best for everyone if she disappeared. It took me all night to convince her to stay and tell you. I told her that no matter how that baby was conceived, you had a right to know. She cried herself to sleep and I made a few phone calls. In the morning I had a new job set up for her and a new place to live in D.C."

"She was in D.C. all this time."

"NO. I moved her to my place the week you got married. I knew it was going to be a hard day for her and I wanted her close. She was there."

"Where?"

"At the church where you got married. She was sitting in the back and watched you pledge your love to another woman. I caught a glimpse of her before she left."

"I didn't see her."

"Do you think she would let you?" Reid asked. "I went home as soon as I could and found her curled up on the floor of her room. She was crying her stomach hurt. I took her to the hospital and they said her blood pressure was high so they hooked her up to monitor to keep an eye on the baby."

"You should have told me. I had a right to know."

"Did you want me to call you on your honeymoon and tell you? She didn't want you to know unless something was wrong with the baby. He was fine so really there was no need. She never went back to DC. She moved in with me permanently. She worked from home."

"She was in DC or with you all this time. All those days off you took were for her. All those mysterious phone calls were from her."

"She never called me, I called her. You have to understand something that night might have not meant anything to you but it meant everything to her. She was in a dark place where she didn't want to be alone and I didn't want her to be alone."

"The letters are from you."

"Yes. I put them where you would get them."

Derek stood up and starting pacing. "You should have told me where she was so I could have been there for her."

"How would you have reacted to her telling you she was pregnant?" Reid shouted. "You had already told her that night was a mistake and shattered her heart. She thought you would have said the baby was a mistake. All she ever wanted was your happiness. She hoped it was with her but it wasn't. Why did you sleep with her that night?"

"That is none of your business."

"You made it my business when you threw her away like she was one of the many women you slept with." Reid yelled. "Who was there when she found out she was pregnant? Who was there helping her through her morning sickness? Who was there during her late night cravings? Who was there when she felt your son for the first time and couldn't share that with you? I was. I was there during all of it."

"That is my son not yours." Derek yelled back. "She wouldn't let me be there for her."

"Do you think she would have after what you told her that night? She didn't want to hear you say that the baby was a mistake."

"I would have never said that. She should have known that."

"Did she know you at all? You're not the same man anymore."

"That night she could have stopped me, she didn't."

"SO now you want to blame her." Reid said with disgust in his voice. "You are a selfish bastard. Of course she wasn't going to tell you to stop. You still don't understand she has been in love with you for years. She thought she was finally going to get her dream: a chance with you. You shatter her dream when you told her it was a mistake. You should have just left before she woke up. That probably would have hurt less than you looking her in the eye and tell her what you said."

"I didn't mean to tell her that. She was making plans for us. I had to shout at her to get her to stop talking. I had no intention to leave Savanah. It just happened."

"You never saw her that way."

Derek turned to leave when Reid stopped him.

"There is something else you need to know." Reid said getting up. "In a couple of months we are getting married. She wanted to wait until the baby is born so he could have your last name."

"You took advantage of her."

"NO Derek. I have been in love with Penelope since the day I met her but she was in love with you. I know what it felt like to love somebody and them not see it. I will be there for your son in whatever capacity Penelope wants to be. He is a part of her and I love him already, whether I am his dad or not. But I will tell you this. Don't hurt her any more than you already have. She's not alone anymore."

Reid left Derek standing by the table as he went back up to Penelope. He went to her room and she was asleep. He walked in quietly and sat by her bed. He took her hand in his and kissed it. She opened her eyes.

"You talked to Derek."

"I did. He knows some thing's but not all."

"Does he know about us?"

"I only told him that we were getting married in a couple months."

"I don't want to cause problems between you two."

"Penelope, if he has a problem then I will deal with it. Have they brought the baby back?"

"No can you call down and see what is taking so long?"

"Yes."

Reid called down to the nursery and was told that the baby was on the way. "He's coming Pen. It seems he's hungry and he is not happy."

Just then the screams of a very unhappy baby could be heard from the room. The door opened and screams were louder.

"Mommy, we have someone hear who is hungry and not very happy." The nurse said. "Are you going to breastfeed or bottle feed?"

"I want to try to breastfeed."

Reid watched as the nurse showed Penelope how to get D to latch on. It took D no time to starting sucking on her breast. The nurse left and Reid sat on the bed.

"He looks so much like Derek doesn't he?"

"He does but he looks like you too." Reid said. "He has your eyes."

She laughed. "That's about all he has."

D finished eating and Pen asked Reid if he wanted to burp him. He walked around as he patted his back. He lout a small burp and then fell asleep. He looked at Penelope and saw that she had her eyes closed.

"You are such a lucky little boy." Reid whispered. "You have a mommy who loves you so much, you have a daddy who will always be there for you no matter what, you have a lot of aunts and uncles that are going to love you when they find out about you, and then there's me. I love you so much already even though you aren't mine. I love you like you are. I love your mommy so much. We are going to be a family."

The door opened and Derek came in. he went straight to Reid and took his son from him. Reid watched as Derek took a seat and cradled his son close to his chest. Reid turned to look at Pen and found her looking at him with watery eyes. He took the hand she held out and entwined their hands together. Reid knew they had a lot to talk about and he wasn't going to like most of it. Derek wasn't going to want to share his son with anyone.

Derek left the hospital tired and sleepy. He wanted to stay but there wasn't a way he could. She wasn't talking to him and Reid was staying the night anyway. Plus he didn't think Savanah would go for that. As soon as he let himself in the door Savanah was in his face.

"What took you so long to come home? I called you several times. Did she just have the baby?"

"No. she had him at five fifty nine this morning." He said taking his jacket off.

"And you are just getting home."

"Yes. I wanted to spend time with him and I did."

"With him or with her."

"Her name is Penelope and I wanted to spend time with both of them. You need to understand something right now. Penelope and I have a bond that no one can ever break. We have a son together and they will always come first."

"What about your wife?"

"Look Savanah, I know you are my wife you don't need to remind me. I married you didn't I? But you also have to understand that I have a responsibility to them too. That is my son and the mother of my son. I will always be there if she needs me."

He walked in to his room and got some clean clothes and walked to the bathroom.

"What's his name?"

"Derek Anthony Morgan, baby D for right now."

He slammed the door and locked it. Savanah sat stunned that he had just locked the door on her. But she was fuming because Penelope named her son after Derek. She had no right. That was her right and she was going to let her know it.
