Penelope fell asleep. She grasped Derek's hand and refused to let go. Several doctors and nurses would periodically come in to check on Penelope, they would smile at Derek, and tell him he was a good boyfriend.
Derek sighed, and looked at his sleeping angel. He wished he could spend all his time just watching her sleep.
Derek loved that Penelope was a whirlwind of amazing, but seeing her at peace made him realize just how much he really loved her.
Derek decided by the end of this week Penelope would know exactly how much he wanted her. He didn't give a damn about Kevin Lynch.
Derek thought, "Where the hell is Lynch?"
Penelope and the BAU team had been at the hospital for over six hours, and Kevin hadn't shown up yet.
Penelope started to stir. She yelled, "Kevin."
Derek felt his heart constrict. He let go of Penelope's hand.
Penelope opened her eyes and said, "I hate him."
Derek raised an eyebrow and said, "What?!"
"D he didn't even try to help me. Now look where I am."
"Penelope maybe-"
Penelope scoffed and said, "I swear to god, Derek Morgan if you chicken out on me now I will never forgive you."
"Penelope what are you talking about?"
"Are you serious Derek?"
"Baby girl what are you talking about?"
"Did I imagine things or did you let every doctor and nurses think you were my boyfriend?"
Derek blanched and said, "Baby I-"
"Derek look me in the eye and tell me, it didn't make you happy."
Derek cupped Penelope's cheek and said, "Being yours would make me the happiest man on earth."
Penelope chuckled and said, "Well prepare to be the happiest man on earth then."
Derek cocked and eyebrow and said, "So what are you sayin mama?"
"Derek Morgan I am sayin that I remembered how I felt getting that x-ray. I didn't think about Kevin. It is all a little fuzzy but I didn't want anyone else, I wanted you. I still want you. I love you."
"Penelope I swear to god if you are high and try to take this back, I will spank you for a month."
"First of all I am not high. Second of all, you have been promising to spank me for a while. SSA Derek Morgan you are all talk."
Just then the examination room door opened. Kevin stalked towards Penelope and said, "Of course he is here."
Penelope sighed and said, "Derek give us a few minutes."
Derek gave Penelope a quick kiss on the cheek, and looked at Kevin as if to dare him to say something.
Derek looked back at Penelope and said, "If you need anything, I am right here."
Penelope smiled and said, "Thank you D."
Once the door was closed Kevin looked at Penelope and said, "Sugar pie what happened?"
Penelope growled her annoyance. "Kevin I needed help, you couldn't help me. I didn't want to take three trips to the car."
"Plum sauce you knew I hurt my wrists."
"Yeah playing video games."
Kevin snorted and said, "Well if you weren't so damn concerned with decorating the BAU for Christmas none of this would have happened."
"Kevin you know that I love Christmas. I haven't had a family to share it with for a while. Yeah I call my brothers, but they are too busy for me living their own lives."
"Penny that is just ridiculous. They are just your coworkers after all."
"Kevin they are more than that. They take care of me, and I take care of them. I am Henry's godmother."
"Which one is Henry?"
Penelope rolled her eyes and said, "JJ's son."
Kevin said, "Oh yeah that's right."
"So you see Kevin I can't and will not stop treating them like my family. When I was shot, they were all there for me. Derek stayed with me until I was healed, and JJ shot Battle. I owe them my life."
Kevin looked around the room; he didn't want to meet Penelope's eyes.
Penelope sighed and said, "Kevin I am sorry that you didn't realize how close I was to my BAU family. There are going to be times where I will stop everything I am doing, to be there for them."
Kevin snorted and said, "So is that why Morgan is here, because he is like your brother?"
It took every fiber of Penelope's being to not slap the stupid out of Kevin.
"Kevin do you really think I call my brothers hot stuff?"
Kevin stuck his hands in his pockets and said, "Well no but-"
"Kevin this whole things was a mistake. Kevin you and I were better off as friends."
"You know Penelope you are right. This whole thing was a mistake."
Penelope looked out of the window and said, "Kevin we had fun, now it's over."
Kevin turned to walk out. Kevin turned back around and said, "Hacking party at my place on Tuesday."
"Kevin I would love to. By the way you should ask Sandra from Homeland Security. I heard she had a crush on you."
"Thanks Penelope."
"Now give me a hug, and go be free."
