Penelope spent two days in the hospital before she was released. Derek was there during the day but went home at night. Reid stayed there day and night. He had taken off six weeks to be with Pen and he didn't care what anybody thought. No one knew she had a baby or where she was. He was getting the car so he could take them home. She had dressed baby D in one of the sleepers she had bought him. Pen and Derek signed the birth certificate and everything was legal now. She was ready to go home and sleep in a comfortable bed. Baby D was in the bassinet and Pen sneaked into the bathroom. She was gone maybe five minutes and when she came out she froze where she stood.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to see your baby."

"Put him down."

"No. He needs to get used to me. I'm going to be his mother after all."

"You are never going to be his mother."

"N one will ever know that you are his mother. He looks nothing like you. He's all Derek."

"Please put him down."

She walked around with the baby in her arms. "You never should have had him. You never should have slept with my husband."

"He wasn't your husband then and he could have stopped but he didn't."

"I married him you didn't." she said. "Love your son while you still have him. I will convince Derek to seek full custody of him and he will be my son, like he should have been. He never should have been yours. You think you can take Derek way from me. Isn't going to happen. You're nothing but a slut. If he wanted you then you would be married to him."

"He wanted me that night."

Savanah slapped her with the baby in her arms. Reid came in at that exact moment and witnessed the slap.

"What the hell is going on and what are you doing here?"

"Dr. Reid what are you doing here?"

He took the baby from her arms before she could protest. He looked at Pen and saw the mark on her face. He handed the baby to her.

"Go sit down sweetheart." He said softly. He waited for her to sit before he rounded on Savanah "I asked you what you are doing here?"

"I came to congratulate Penelope on her son." she said. "Why are you here?"

"That is none of your business. You need to leave."

"I'm going. See you soon Penelope."

She walked out the door and he went to Penelope. He knelt down in front of her.

"Are you alright?"

"I want to go home."

"Ok let's go. Then you can tell me what happened."

The nurse came with a wheelchair and Pen sat down with the baby in her arms. At the car, Reid put the baby in the car seat and then helped Pen to get in. they stopped to pick something up for lunch and then went home. He helped Pen get out then he got the baby from the back. They entered and Pen went to sit down and Reid got D out of the car seat. He placed in the bassinet since he was still sleeping.

"Do you want something to eat?"

"No not yet. I would like to lay down."

"Come on. I'll watch D until you wake up or he gets hungry."

He turned the bed down for Penelope while she changed into a nightshirt. He left her to sleep once she was in the bed and went back into the living room to work on some files he had at home. When he asked for a leave he said he would look over files for them and give his profile. Hotch had called him to make sure he was ok but Reid had told him he needed some personal time.

D started squirming in his bassinet and Reid got up and checked his diaper. He was wet so Reid changed him. He fell back to sleep. An hour later D woke up screaming letting Reid know he was hungry. He picked him up and took him to Pen. She was sitting in bed waiting for him. He helped Pen get situated on the bed and got a blanket. He watched as she put the baby to her breast. She stroked her son's cheek and played with his dark curly hair.

"She said I never should have had him." she whispered. "How could she say that? He's just a baby. He didn't ask to be born in this situation. She said he should have been hers. She said she was going to convince Derek to seek full custody of him and she would be his mother like she should be. I just went to the bathroom and came out she was there holding him. To love him while I can. I'm a slut for sleeping with her husband. Don't let her take him away from me, please."

"Shhh. No one is taking him away. I promise you that." Reid said as she cried. "Don't get upset. It will all work out."

His cell rang and it was Derek. He sighed. "Morgan."

"I got your message. I want to see my son."

"Ok. We moved. This our new address."

"I'll be there in thirty."

He looked at Pen who was burping the baby. She looked so beautiful holding the baby. It made her glow. He could tell she was getting tired.

"I'll take D with me. You rest and I'll come and get you when dinner is ready." Reid said. "I love you."

"I love you too." Pen whispered.

Reid took D to the living room with him and placed him the bassinet. He went to the kitchen and started dinner. He was making chicken alfredo when he heard the doorbell. He went to answer.

"Derek come in. The baby is in the bassinet."

Derek looked around the spacious living room. "When did you move here?"

"We bought it after I told Pen that we needed a yard for the baby to play in. it's a four bedroom, two bath with a big back yard."

He walked over to the baby and squatted down. He smiled when the baby moved. He stood back up. He turned to Reid.

"Where's Pen?"

"She's in our room sleeping."

"Can I talk to her?"

"She doesn't want to see you right now." He said. "Come into the kitchen and I'll explain."

Derek followed Reid to the kitchen and sat down at the table. "Do you want a beer?" Derek nodded and took the one Reid offered.

"Why doesn't she want to see me?"

"Have you talked to your wife today?"

"No why?"

"She came to the hospital, she was in the room when Pen came out of the bathroom. She was holding the baby."

"What?"

"She was there." He said. "She told Pen that she never should have had the baby. That he should be her baby. She also told Pen to love him while she had him. She was going to convince you to seek full custody and then she would be his mother like she should be. She called Pen a slut for sleeping with her husband and she slapped Pen in the face."

"She slapped her."

"I saw it. I was down at the car. We were getting ready to leave. Pen said she went to the bathroom. When she came out Savanah was there holding him." he said. "Look Derek, I won't let you or Savanah hurt Penelope more than you already have. We will never stop you from seeing your son. But I won't have him around Savanah, not right now anyway. He's too little. Pen won't want her anywhere near him especially after today. She made Pen cry when she said that he shouldn't have been born. It's not his fault that he came into this situation. He's just a baby. Those are Pen's words. All I want is her happiness but all she does is cry."

"Don't you think that should be Pen's decision not yours."

"I already know what she wants and doesn't want." He said. "We already talked about it. Savanah is always going to be a problem because Pen knows she hates her. She always has. There is something you should know. When you first started dating Savanah, she saw how you and Pen flirted and talked to each other. One day she met Pen in the parking garage and told her to stay from you. That you never would want her, some fat, ugly, older woman when you have her to warm your bed at night. She told her she was pathetic pining for someone who she never had a chance with. She also told her she was going to tell you to stop talking to her and that's exactly what you did."

"Why didn't she tell me?"

"You weren't talking to her." he said. "Pen wants to talk with you about things but right now is not the time. She's too emotional. She isn't the Penelope we all knew nine months ago. She's changed. This whole situation has changed her. Our home is always open. You can see him."

"I'm going to tell my mom about him. She doesn't know yet. She'll want to come see him."

"That's fine."

They heard D making noises.

"He probably needs a diaper change." Reid said looking at his watch. "He just ate but then he does have a big appetite. I'm going to check on Pen. There are diapers and wipes under the bassinet."

Reid went down a hallway and Derek went to the living room. He smiled when he saw the baby awake and trying to kick his legs.

"Hey there baby boy." He said softly. "Daddy's here. I've got you."

He changed the diaper and the baby starting crying. He rocked him back and forth and nothing worked. Derek talked softly and nothing worked.

"Are you hungry?' he cooed. "Is that why you are fussy?"

"He's always hungry." Pen said.

Derek snapped his up at her voice. She looked so different. She had lost a lot of weight. She was holding a bottle. "I pumped some milk so you could feed him. There's four ounces in there. He probably won't drink all of it."

She handed the bottle and ran a hand down the baby's head to his back. "Be good for daddy." She turned to walk away but Derek stopped her. She turned to look at him.

"I'm sorry Pen."

With a sad look on her face she murmured. "I'm sorry too." Then walked back to her room.
