Hey there! It's me again with another update! I hope you enjoy what's to come. And let me go ahead and make this disclaimer: I have never been pregnant, but I have plenty of friends who have. But if the technical stuff is off a bit, just remember it's fanfiction. ;) Okay, on to Chapter 5.


Recap

"Derek," Penelope started as she gripped his arms to steady herself.

"Baby Girl?" Derek asked as he made to keep a grip on her.

"I feel funny…" she replied breathlessly as she continued to sag in Derek's arms.

"PENELOPE!?" shouted Derek as he fully caught Penelope as she fainted. "JJ call an ambulance!" he shouted as he moved to sit on the floor, cradling her in his arms. He didn't notice JJ pull out her cell phone to call for help, or notice when Reid, Hotch, or Rossi had came in shortly after to try and assist.

Derek only had his eyes focused on the fallen angel in his arms.

"It's going to be okay, Sweetheart," he kept repeating shakily, trying not to give into his true fear as he rocked her in his arms. "You and Jellybean are going to be okay," he whispered quietly. It was in that moment Derek realized that he would do anything for Penelope and her baby.


Derek was pacing the hospital waiting room, hard. He was pissed. No scratch that; he was fucking mad! The paramedics allowed him to put Penelope on the stretcher. They allowed him to ride with her in the ambulance. But as soon as they got to the hospital he was told to stay put in the waiting room with the team!

His biggest anger though was towards Kevin Lynch.

Derek clenched his fists at that thought as he continued to pace. He was so lost in it that he didn't even notice Reid come to stand near him.

"Morgan," Reid said, quietly.

"What Reid!?" Derek growled as he stopped pacing to face him. He saw the somewhat hurt expression on the younger agent's face and he felt like an ass. "I- I'm sorry, man," he said as he leaned his back against the wall and rubbed his hands over his face.

"It's alright," Reid said. "Look, Morgan. I know you're worried about Garcia. We all are, but you have to know that statistically the chances of her losing the baby are-"

"Don't say that, Reid," Derek interrupted in an agonized filled whisper.

"I'm sorry," Reid said as he moved to stand next to Derek, leaning against the wall, too. "When did she learn she was pregnant?"

"Just last night. I came over right after she took the test," Derek started, as he smiled slightly. "Penelope is so happy, Reid. So happy that she is going to be a mom. What is she going to do if-"

"Like you said, Morgan. Don't say that," Reid said. "Garcia fainting could just be her body's way of telling her she needs to take it easy and avoid any unnecessary stress."

"Oh, there's only one unnecessary stress that needs to avoid her before I hurt him," Derek said, gritting his teeth.

"No need to," Reid said, cooly. Derek turned to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "If he does anything else again, like he did in her office, I'll be the one to 'kick his ass.' As you would put it," he answered with his own boyish smirk.

"Alright, Pretty Boy," Derek said, smiling a little as he clapped a hand on Reid's shoulder. It was then he noticed a doctor heading their direction.

"Are either of you Derek Morgan?" asked a petite, olive skinned woman with long black hair.

"That's me," Derek said as the smile left his face and turned back into a worried grimace.

The woman nodded before introducing herself. "I'm Dr. Angela Bell," she said as she extended her hand to shake Derek's, then Reid's. "You're all here for Penelope Garcia?" she asked as she cast her gaze behind them, gesturing where JJ, Hotch, and Rossi were sitting in the waiting area.

"Yes. Dr. Bell, is she alright? Can I see her?" Derek asked, trying to remain calm, but he was anxious to see his Baby Girl and make sure she was alright.

"That's why I came to get you, Mr. Morgan," Dr. Bell started. "She's awake and she's asking for you. If you will follow me, I'll take you to her."

"We'll be right here," said Reid as he looked at Derek.

Derek nodded and began to follow Dr. Bell to Penelope's room.


So, I know you all probably want to know if Penelope is okay, (and she is, I promise). Hope you all like what's to come. Thanks for reading and reviewing! :D
