Survival-Ch 6- The Death Of Baby Girl
Derek said, "no that can't be right, she has to be alright", the doctor said, "there were complications and her heart stopped and we weren't able to revive her". He got up off the floor and said, "I need to see her, please let me see her", the doctor said, "yes of course come with me", Dave looked at him and said, "do you want me to go with you"?, he shook his head and said, "no I need to see my baby girl alone", Dave nodded his head and said,
"just know that I'm here if you need me".
Derek sighed and wiped his eyes as he followed the doctor up the hall and into the morgue, he stepped inside and his heart started racing, it couldn't be true, she couldn't be gone, not his baby girl". The doctor said, "I'll give you some time alone", he nodded his head and said, "thank you", she stepped out into the hall and closed the door behind her.
Derek walked over to the body and nerverously pulled the sheet down and when he saw Penelopes face he started crying, he said, "no baby, no, this isn't right, you can't leave me, please come back, please come back. He kissed her cheek and said, "I love you baby girl, I love you please come back to your hotstuff".
Hotch and Reid sighed as they followed the nurse back to recovery, they were in recovery rooms that were beside each other and when they stepped beside their wives they couldn't help but smile. Reid leaned over and kissed JJ on the lips and said, "I love you Jayje", he then sat down beside her bed and put her hand in his and sat there holding it and giving a silent prayer of thanks that she had survived surgery.
Hotch smiled as he leaned over and kissed his wife on the lips and said, "I love you Mrs. Hotchner", he then sighed and said, "I don't know how I am going to tell you that one of your best friends is gone. He brushed a strand of hair away and said, "I don't know what I would do without you Em and I thank God for letting you come back to me".
As Derek stood over Penelope he ran his fingers through her hair and said, "you are so beautiful baby girl, so so beautiful", he touched her face and said, "you are now and will forever be my baby girl and I don't know what I'm going to do without you". He pulled up the chair and sat there looking down at her wishing that he would have told her how much he truly cared and now she would never know.
JJ tiredly opened her eyes and smiled, Reid said, "hello beautiful girl", she said, "we need to get your eyes check Spence", he kissed her lips gently and said, "and why's that"?, she said, "if you think I look beautiful you definitley need them checked". JJ sighed and said, "any news on Emily or on Garcie"?, he nodded his head yes and looked down at the floor trying to think of a way to tell her about Penelope.
Hotch was sitting there thinking about Derek when he felt Emilys hand tighten up around his, he smiled and said, "wellllll hello sweetheart, it's good to see those beautiful eyes of yours". She smiled and said, "it's so good to see you again, I was afraid that I would never get to see you or our son again".
Hotch brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "I was afraid of the same thing Em", she said, "any news on JJ or PG"?, he took a deep breath and said, "JJ's gonna be fine, she's right next door to you", she said, "what about PG"?, he said, "honey now isn't the time to talk about this".
Emily said, "nooooo, no she can't be gone", Hotch said, "easy Em, you're going to pull your stitches", she wiped her eyes and said, "no Aaron, please tell me she isn't gone, please". He gently wrapped his arms around her and said, "I wish I could Em, I truly wish I could", he just sat there rocking her gently back and forth as she buried her head in his chest.
JJ looked up at Reid and said, "tell me Spence", he gently squeezed her hand and said, "Garcia didn't make it Jayje, she's gone", JJ shook her head and said, "noooooo nooooo it can't be true, no Spence". He said, "I wish it wasn't true but it is", she said, "but we were going to go shopping this weekend Spencer, she can't be gone, she just can't be.
Almost an hour later Derek kissed Penelope one final time and said, "I'll find him baby girl and I promise you that I will kill him", he caressed her cheek and said, "I love you baby girl, I love you". He then reluctantly turned around and headed toward the door, he stopped and looked one final time at Penelope before heading out into the hall.
Just as soon as Derek stepped onto the elevator and the doors closed two men walked into the morgue, one looked at the other and smiled as they started moving Penelopes body.
