Wanting-Ch 38

The next several months flew by and the closer for time for the trial the more nervous Penelope was getting, she was currently sitting looking out the window of the BAU jet as it was on its way to Chicago. Derek intertwined their fingers with one hand as he rubbed her now 7 month pregnancy bump with the other and said, "penny for your thoughts baby girl".

She looked down at her stomach and said, "I'm just thinking handsome that's all", he smiled at her and said, "everything is going to be fine", she looked up at him and said, "I hope so handsome, I just can't help but wonder what's going to happen when he finds out that I'm pregnant". Derek said,
"you and baby Morgan are going to be fine", she smiled at him as he leaned in and pressed his lips gently against hers.

The rest of the flight was spent laughing and talking with the team and as soon as they landed they headed over to the courthouse, Derek and Penelope walked into the courtroom hand in hand and had a seat with the rest of the family minus Dave and Reid. Fran sat on the other side of Penelope and gently squeezed her hand when the officers brought Sam into the room.

She was sitting in the back of the room so Sam couldn't tell that she was pregnant but he smiled at her and said, "hello wife, how are you, did you miss your husband. She looked at Derek and smiled and he brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it as the officers forced him down into his seat.

Anna looked at him and said, "stay calm Sam, this isn't going to help your case", he leaned in and said, "yeah yeah", she took a deep breath as she looked down at his file. Penelope looked at Derek and said, "where are Reid and Dave"?, Derek leaned in and whispered, "they are working on a surprise for your case".

Reid and Dave were watching as Molly walked out of her apartment and headed up the street, Reid said, "I'll get out and follow her", Dave nodded his head and said, "be careful because we don't want to spook her". Dave watched as Reid crossed the street and followed Molly, he then put the SUV in drive and followed the two around the corner.

Molly stopped to buy some fruit and she jumped when she heard a voice say, "Molly Miller you are under arrest", she stood there still looking at fruit and didn't pay Reid any attention hoping that he would go away. Reid said again, "Molly Miller FBI you are under arrest", she turned around and looked at him and said, "you have me mistaken with somebody else".

Reid smiled and said, "I don't think so, Molly Miller you are under arrest for aiding in fraud and evidence tampering, anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law, you have the right to an attorney and if you can't afford one then one will be appointed to you by the court,
do you understand these rights as I have read them", she nodded her head and said, "yes" as Reid led her toward Rossi and the SUV.

The baitliff walked across the room and said, "all rise", everybody stood up as the judge walked into the room, after the judge took the bench she said, "be seated". Everybody sat down and waited for the trial to start, Penelope looked around when the door opened and saw Logan walking into the room.

He walked up and sat down right behind Sam and Anna and leaned in and whispered something into his ear earning a smile from Sam, Anna got Sams attention and told him that he needed to listen to the judge" Logan looked around the room and noticed that something was different about Penlope, the jacket that was covering her stomach slid down and Logans eyes got huge.

He raised up to tell Sam that Penelope was pregnant and that is when the judge said, "I've been refreshing myself with your case, are both sides ready to proceed"?, they both nodded their heads yes and in unison said, "yes your honor". The judge said, "alright call your first witness, the prosecutor smiled as he said, "we call Molly Miller to the stand".

Sam looked at Logan and mouthed the words, "what the hell"?, Logan swallowed hard and shrugged his shoulders and said, "they're bluffing, she ain't here". The doors flew open and Reid and Dave came in leading Molly toward the witness stand", Sam sat back against the seat and covered his face with his hands as Molly took the stand.
