Survival Ch 14 A- Family Reunion

Penelope smiled as Payton wrapped his arms around her and said, "it's so good to see you again squirt, I still can't believe what you have been through over the past 7 months". She kissed his cheek and said, "I'm just so sorry Pay, so so sorry that I couldn't contact you, any of you", he laid his head on hers and said, "that doesn't matter now, the only thing that matters is that you are safe and sound right here with us".

Peter said, "we thought that we had lost you", she nodded her head and said, "I was afraid of the same thing, when I first woke up I didn't know where I was or anything that was going on". Derek walked behind her and kissed the top of her head as she said, "it was a while before I was awake enough to really understand everything that had happened".

Parker couldn't stop smiling as he looked at his sister, she said, "I've missed you all so much", Parker said, "when Derek called us, we couldn't, we couldn't believe it, you were gone forever P". She said, "I'm sorry Park but", he said, "squirt you have nothing to be sorry for, you didn't do anything wrong, you are the victim here".

Paul nodded his head and said, "Parker's right baby sister, you are the victim", she took a deep breath and said, "I can't tell you how good it is to see you all again, how long are you going to stay"?, Payton said, "right now we aren't sure but we've been talking and this visit might be a rather long one".

Hotch stood up and said, "Penelope is the heart of our team and the glue that keeps us all together and when we thought we'd lost her to say that life had changed is an understatement". Penelope smiled and said, "I feel the same way bossman", Payton looked at Hotch and said, "now that she's finally here and safe what are we going to do about this Zach"?, the brothers listened as Hotch and the rest of the team filled the brothers in on the plans to trap Zach and his associates.

As Hotch and Dave were finishing up with the plan Penelope got up and headed out onto the back porch with her hotstuff hot on her heels, he walked up behind her and gently wrapped his arms around her and said, "I still can't believe that you're here with me". She turned in his arms and leaned forward and kissed his lips and said, "me either, you have no idea how many nights I dreamed about you".

He rested his forehead against hers and said, "ohhhhhh yes I can goddess", she smiled as she ran her hand across his chest and said, "I was so so lost without you Derek". He kissed the end of her nose and said, "the feeling's mutual baby girl, you are the thread that holds me and my heart together and when you were gone I was falling apart".

She looked up at him and said, "do you remember that Christmas a few years ago when your mom and sisters surprised you"?, he nodded his head and said,
"I sure do, that was one of the best Christmass I've ever had". She smiled and said, "welllllll I arranged for them to come as a surprise for you my sexy sexy hotstuff".

He kissed her lips gently and said, "I know baby girl", she said, "but how did you know"?, he tapped the end of her nose with his finger and said, "you knew how much I needed to see them and with our schedule I wasn't able to fly out sooooooo you my beautiful angel of mercy, you called and talked to momma and my sisters and then arranged for them to come and spend the holiday with me".

She took a deep breath and said, "you are my heart Derek and when you hurt, I hurt", he wrapped his arms snuggly around her and said, "I hurt baby girl,
I hurt so bad when you were gone but now that I have you here in my arms where you belong, I'm not letting you go". She leaned forward and gently pressed her lips against his.

When they pulled apart she said, "good because I'm where I want to be", he smiled as he leaned in for another kiss, Parker walked over to the door and couldn't help but smile as he watched his baby sister and Derek wrapped in each others arms. He took a deep breath and whispered, "finally P, you're finally getting the love you truly deserve" before walking over to rejoin the rest of the family.
