Fallen part 3

After seeing Kevin leave, Derek saw JJ walk past Kevin. Kevin moved as far away from JJ as possible. Derek would have laughed had he not seen the murderous look JJ gave Kevin.

JJ walked up to Derek, and he saw her face soften. She asked, "How is she doing?"

Derek smiled and said, "She seems to be feeling better."

JJ returned the smile and said, "That's good. Just to let you know Strauss called all of us, except you and Garcie back to headquarters. It looks like we may have a new case. Hotch and I were able to talk to Strauss about getting you the appropriate time off."

Derek said, "Thanks JJ. But how did you know Kevin wouldn't be taking care of her."

JJ laughed and said, "Derek you have got to be kidding me right? I would looooove to see the look on your face if Kevin tried to do that. We all know you would take better care of her anyway."

Derek chuckled and said, "JJ you are right. I would've put Lynch through a wall."

JJ rolled her eyes and said, "I wonder why. I mean Derek are you ever going to man up and tell her how you feel. Derek you two have been in love forever. You just keep dancing around each other. How long will it take before one of you snaps? Derek all of us are tired of waiting for you two-"

Derek put his hands up in mock surrender and said, "JJ cool it, for a minute."

"Derek I am sorry. I guess I didn't realize how much I kept bottled up about you two. You two are the most frustrating thing I have ever seen."

Derek asked, "Are we really that bad?"

JJ wanted to knock Derek upside his thick skull. "Umm Yes Derek. You two are that bad. Hotch has considered banning PG from using speakerphone."

Derek smirked and said, "Well JJ I guess you will have to find something else to get frustrated about."

"What the hell does that mean?"

"As of about an hour ago, we talked and decided that we belonged together."

JJ hugged Derek and said, "Oh my gosh."

Derek's smile fell a little. Derek asked, "What about the frat rules?"

JJ replied, "When we told Strauss you would be taking care of Penelope instead of Lynch. She had already assumed you two were together. She wants to meet with you both, but I don't see it being a problem. Just get her better. We will cross that bridge when we need to."

JJ glanced at her watch and said, "I need to get going. I am going to pop in for a second and talk to P."

Derek said, "I am going to grab some coffee."

Derek had gotten his coffee, and had managed to dodge two very flirty nurses, when he heard JJ say, "Penelope I am really happy for you two. Now I gotta go."

JJ walked out of the room and smiled at Derek. "See you later big bro."

Derek called back, "See you later lil sis."

Derek went into Penelope's hospital room and sat next to her.

Derek raised an eyebrow and said, "So what were you and Miss JJ talking about?"

Penelope smiled and said, "You mostly."

"I hope all good."

"Of course my love."

There was a knock at the door. The doctor was holding a patient folder and a few x rays.

The doctor cleared his throat and said, "Miss Garcia everything looks good. You don't have a concussion, and nothing is broken. However you will be sore for quite a few days. I want you to take it easy."

Penelope smiled and said, "I can do that."

Then the doctor turned to Derek and said, "I don't want her going up and down stairs a lot, so if you could help her with things like that it would aid her recovery time."

Derek smiled and pointed at Penelope and said, "This one is hardheaded. I won't let her out of my sight."

The doctor and Derek laughed. Penelope rolled her eyes and huffed.

The doctor then handed Derek two prescriptions for pain.

Derek and the doctor stepped out for a moment so Penelope could get dressed.

The two gentlemen walked back in the room.

Finally Derek was handed the discharge papers. A nurse wheeled in a wheel chair for Penelope.

Penelope said, "Derek I don't need a wheel chair."

The doctor laughed and said, "Don't let her out of your sight."

Derek said, "Hey. Sit."

Penelope not to happily sat down.

Derek helped Penelope get into the taxi, and sat next to her.

Penelope said, "Derek you don't have to do all of this."

Derek cupped Penelope's cheek and said, "Yes I do. What did I tell you back in that hospital room?"

Penelope quietly said, "That you wanted to be my man."

Derek replied, "That's right."

Penelope said, "But…."

Derek said, "But what Penelope. Baby girl I love you. Now for whatever reason you don't think you deserve to be taken care of, and I think you are completely wrong. Why do you think I call you goddess?"

Penelope smiled and said, "Derek you are too good to me."

Derek smiled back and said, "Baby you ain't seen nothing yet. Derek Morgan is at your service."

Penelope smiled back with the dirtiest smirk Derek had ever seen.

Derek leaned over and whispered, "I would tell you to focus that twisted mind of yours but… I really don't want to."

The cab driver laughed and said, "Hey if you two plan on making out in my cab I charge extra."

Derek laughed and Penelope blushed.

Penelope placed her hand in Derek's and said, "Derek Morgan I love you."

Derek sweetly kissed Penelope and said "I love you too."

The cab driver said, "We are here."

Derek paid the cab driver, and helped Penelope out of the backseat.

Derek held Penelope's hand as they walked to the front door. Penelope wasn't sure but she felt this time off was going to be the best vacation she has ever had, back pain and all.
