Wanting-Ch 8

The next week flew by and it was time for the team to head out to Chicago, since everything was a little quieter on the unsub front Erin allowed the team to take the jet to Chicago. Everybody was on board and the jet was getting ready to take off when Penelope climbed on board, Derek smiled knowing that he was going to get to spend the next week with his baby girl.

She sat down beside Reid, JJ and the sleeping Henry and JJ said, "where's Sam"?, Penelope said, "he had to go out of town on business trips so he will be gone for the next 2 weeks". Derek inwardly cheered at hearing that, he leaned in and started talking to Jack and Reid whispered, "don't worry Morgans girlfriend won't be coming either she is covering for another doctor who is off on vacation".

She sighed and said, "so how is my little man doing"?, Reid smiled down and said, "he misses his aunt P", she said, "awwwww and his aunt P definitely misses him to". Penelope looked over and said, "hi Jackers", he waved and said, "hi auntie P", Derek said, "hello Penelope, I'm so glad that you could come for this week".

She said, "well your momma called me and asked me and I couldn't say no", he grinned and said, "yeah she has that effect on people", Penelope sat back and said, "that she does Derek, that she does". She pulled out her knitting and glanced up every few minutes to catch Derek peeping at her which made her smile.

Dave leaned in and whispered, "are you going to try to talk to kitten this week"?, he nodded his head and said, "I'm gonna try", Dave laughed and said,
"that's my boy". Derek shook his head and laughed as he put his head phones one and laid his head back, the rest of the flight flew by and soon they were landing at the airstrip.

The ride to his moms place didn't take long and soon they were all walking into Frans house, she walked over and hugged Derek and said, "welcome home baby boy". He smiled and said, "I've missed you to momma", the girls ran over and hugged him and said, "welcome home trouble", he laughed and said, "I'll show you trouble" and started messing her hair up.

Fran smiled as she hugged all of the team and when she got to Penelope she said, "it's good to see you again Penelope", she smiled and said, "how have you been Fran"?, she said, "been doing pretty good, how about yourself"?, she said, "I have been doing ok, just working all the time". Sarah said, "we have a lot of things planned for this week".

Penelope felt a suddne wave of nausea wash over her and she said, "Fran where is your restroom"?, she said, "second door on the right at the top of the stairs honey". JJ smiled as she followed her friend up the stairs, once they were inside the bathroom JJ held Penelopes hair back while she emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet.

JJ wet a cloth and handed it to Penelope to wipe her face, she then sat down in the floor beside Penelope in the floor and she said, "Garcie we need to talk". She wiped her face again and said, "talk, what about"?, JJ took a deep breath and said, "honey are you pregnant"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes, I found out before we left Virginia this morning".

JJ said, "is Morgan the father"?, she looked up at her friend and said, "the father could be Derek or Sam", JJ put her hand on her friends knee and said, "honey how did that happen"?, she said, "I had a fight with Sam about 6 weeks ago and I went out drinking and ran into Derek but I don't remember anything that happened after we got drunk and neither does Derek".

She said, "so why aren't you and Derek together if you finally got together"?, she said, "we are both with different people and he seemed really really happy Jayje and that's what I want for him". JJ wrapped her free arm around her friend and said, "and I bet you told Derek that you needed to keep it between the two of you, right"?, she nodded her head yes.

Penelope said, "I love him Jayje and I have loved him for years but I screwed up so bad, after I got home the morning after Sam was at my place, I'm sure you remember that I called you right"?, she said, "yeah I remember". Penelope said, "he has always been jealous of Derek and he didn't want me to spend any time with him".

JJ listened as Penelope tearfully told of the rest area sex later in that day and that's how the baby could be either Sams or Dereks, JJ said, "what are you going to do"?, she laid her head back against the tub and said, "I don't know, I know that Derek and Sam both have the right to know but I don't want to ruin Dereks birthday".

JJ said, "and that little scene in the round table room was you letting Derek know that you slept with Sam and he let you know that he had moved on with Savannah"?, she nodded her head and said, "what am I gonna do Jayje". JJ said, "wipe your face, we need to get back downstairs before Derek comes up looking for you".

She stood up and hugged JJ and said, "thanks Jayje", she smiled and said, "anytime Garcie", the two friends headed out of the bathroom and back down to join the rest of the gang in the living room.
