A?N: UPDATING YAY! EXCITMENT... ENJOY
WARNING GRAMMER AND SPELLING ERROR MAY OCCUR :D
Wake you up
In the middle of the night to say
I will never walk away again
I'm never gonna leave this bed, oh
Penelope rinsed her face off with the semi warm water and dried it. Taking a long look at her reflection granted she hadn't been sleeping very well but she had a shine in her eyes that wasn't there before. It had been 2 months since they released Derek from the hospital. He still wasn't allowed to do field work but just the thought of him at the BAU or at the Store frightened her. He'd told her the story of what happened to his Dad shot point blank and he wasn't even on duty. He reassured her however when ever he walked in to the their house. Yeah they had a house now as soon as Derek could arrange it all of her stuff was moved out of her apartment and into his house. She hadn't the slightest care about it either she loved it. Loved having him so close and waking up with him. Fixing dinners with him though he was hindered a bit it was still one of the best things in her life. The best part was when they lied in bed. She was afraid to do anything to strenuous with him yet and he respected that so they spent the time talking and laughing and cuddling. But those things weren't her favorite. Her favorite was when he pulled him as close to her as he could without her touching his injury and he splayed his hand on her now well rounded tummy. He rubbed it back and forth . The feeling exciting her not only sexually but emotionally as well. It made her have butterflies but more intense like a flock of birds was flying around. She always teared when he did it cause he always said the same thing.
"I love you...you know that right.. no matter what... I will always love you."
That one line did it every time for her she couldn't help but sigh contentedly and say it back. Penelope left the bathroom padding down the stairs carefully in he green fuzzy slippers to the living room. She looked at the clock and frowned a bit. It was later then Derek usually got home. She'd already made dinner and set the table. In between those ties their was usually a 20 minute period of wait for him to get home and then they'd eat. She stood up and began to pace. Not only did the hormones make her more paranoid but the fact that 2 months ago she saw her future husband lying unconscious on a hospital bed didn't help at ALL.
Penelope had been effectively pacing for about an hour before her phone rang. She hurriedly picked it up expecting to hear the worst but hoping for the best.
"Garcia?" She flinched a bit it was hotches voice.
"Yeah Hotch what is it whats happened?" She closed her eyes and waited to hear his response.
"We've brought Derek to the hospital to be evaluated its nothing to go out into the cold for but their was a incident with a robber and Derek being not one to shy away from a challenge chased him about 3 blocks." Penelope felt relieved and Saw red all at the same time.
"Is he OK?" She said with a chilled voice.
"Yeah the doc said he's fine the activity didn't interfere with the healing but it could have been a lot worse" Penelope thanked Hotch before hanging up. The main thing sticking out to her was could it could have been worse. She felt her stomach drop at what would have happened it he actually hurt himself. Her fingers thrummed on the phone still her mind reeling. She didn't know it was the hormones or the rage but she felt like crying and she felt like hitting something and she was pretty sure when Derek got home both would be achieved.
Derek eased himself out the car. She didn't know why everyone was over reacting he felt a little winded and a little pain but he was fine. But of course pretentious hotch had to bring him to the doctor to find everything was fine and he stopped a criminal? He felt better then ever. However he was pretty sure by Hotch's description of Penelope's tone he wouldn't feel that way for long. He opened the door quietly as he could it was 9:30 and he didn't know if maybe she went to sleep. She did that frequently instead of yelling or getting upset she went to sleep. He was hoping she was that way they could both get a fresh start in the morning and he could explain himself. He saw dinner on the stove but didn't feel hungry. He had a odd sense of dread and anticipation in his stomach. He trudged up the steps and down the hall way standing just outside the door. Of their bed room. He twisted the knob slowly trying to be as quiet as he could and he began to open the door only getting it a inch before... the rest wouldn't budge. He tried again and angled his head to peer a bit inside. She had the whole dresser against the door. Not an easy feat for a pregnant woman but his baby girl exceeded pregnant woman expectations. He sighed he knew she'd be mad. She was highly irritated to start with and then he gets himself in trouble? She had every reason to be mad. But he didn't want distance tonight he craved her attention more then ever he felt like he'd been away from her too long already. He tried to budge it again but it wouldn't go. He couldn't strain hard without hurting himself and he was pretty sure she didn't want to work this out now. He was screwed.
"Baby Girl" He whispered softly hoping she was awake and he'd caught her in that half sleep daze.
"Don't whisper I'm fully awake and don't baby girl me." she rolled over on the bed to make eye contact through the small slit the door let through. Derek sighed.
"Come on.. don't be mad I had to do it." Penelope scoffed.
"you didn't have to do anything you could've had Hotch do it, or called the police like a normal person. I think if anything we've learned the past few months that no matter how hard we want you to be your not invincible." By the time she finished the could feel the anger and sadness radiating from her voice. That made he want to hold her all the more.
"Penelope just let me in so we can talk." He pleaded trying to persuade her... too bad it wasn't working.
"No don't pull that innocent I wanna talk crap with me Derek its cute when you accidentally put the dryer on to high or burn something but here.. When your life is in danger when the future of you and out child relation ship is threatened..nothing can get you out of it"
His opened a bit wider he knew she was deathly serious. It wasn't just the hormones or the anger she was truthfully serious. He knew he made a dumb risky rookie mistake, he'd made some just like it in the past as well but what he was failing to grasp was how intense everything was now. They had conceived a child. It was on the way. He was going to be a father and a husband. Silly mistakes like that even though they seemed to have little effect on him actually had a huge effect on everything else around him. He knew there was only one way out. The one tactic he only ever used with his mother no one else the one he hadn't used since he was 18 years old.
"you right." Derek said defeated
Penelope's mouthed opened a bit in shock.
"excuse me?" she said as if what she heard was a mistake
"your right." Derek pushed out again. "Things are way more serious now then they where 10 years ago,5 years, or even 5 months. Its time for me to start thinking before I act because whether I like it or not Im not the only one depending on myself anymore. You, the baby you guys are going to need a stable home. Not like the one I had growing up where one parent it gone and its just one parent against all the trails on their own. I don't care if I have to quit my job for this to happen. I will be around for this baby. We will be around for this baby and you will have the happily ever after you deserve because I don't get mine unless you get yours."
Penelope was in tears in the middle of the bed. She'd never heard him like that before in all the years she'd known him. He sounded defeated almost but like it was a happy defeat. She didn't want him defeated she wanted him careful. Penelope quickly got off the bed and untied the dresser before sliding it away from the door.
Derek waited patiently for her to move the dresser. When she opened the he didn't let her speak he kissed her. All the passion and need he felt for her was poured into the kiss. Nothing was left. She immediately responded kissing him like she need him for life. His tongue brushed against hers as his hands made their way to her curly blonde hair. They remained that way for a minute before he pulled back. He smiled her glasses askew and he face flushed.
"Derek …..I.." she panted a bit before continuing. "Derek I don't want you to give up your job I don't want you to give up who you are." She reached a hand up to cup his face.
" I just want you to be more careful... think of us before you act... I won't be able to live without you again and I don't want out child to grow up and never know how amazing his or her father was. By no means am I saying lose the hurly-burly macho guy I fell in love with just add a tiny bit more brains to him" She smiled and they laughed a bit.
"Oh so your saying I'm dumb?" he raised an eye brow. Penelope looked around a bit before answering
"yeah just a tiny bit..." she pinched her fingers together before he lunged at her and she ran for the bed diving under the covers. She poked her head out with a huge smile on her face and a yawn. He made his way over to the bed ruffling her hair before placing another sound kiss on her lips.
"Come on baby girl lets get you to sleep. You know you have work in the morning" she yawned again snuggling down into his chest assuming the position. He covered her up effectively tucking her away with his body. His hand sliding over her hip and up to her stomach. His heart going a mile a minute at what his hand laid on. His child... their child... the life they created together.
"Penelope... i'm sorry you know that right?" She felt her head shake yes. " I know..."
"I'm going to try to never do it again..." She smiled.. "You better..."
"I love you...you know that right.. no matter what... I will always love you." she sighed happily "and I will always love you..." she put her hands over his on her stomach "We will always love you."
