Wanting-Ch 41
Fran ran into ER and when she got close to the desk she saw Derek in the floor with his head in his hands, she walked around the desk and got down on the floor with him and wrapped her arms around him and just held him and whispered, "I love you sweetie". Derek laid his head on her shoulder and said,
"I can't lose her momma, I can't lose them, I just can't".
Fran said, "they are both going to be fine Derek, Penelope is a strong woman and she loves you with all she has", he took a deep breath and said, "they are my world momma". She said, "I know baby boy, I know", Derek said, "they are doing a C-Section momma because the baby was in distress", she gently squeezed him and said, "they will let us know something when they can honey, why don't we go over to the waiting room, the rest of the family is over there waiting on news of Penelope and the baby".
The room was filled with doctors and nurses working feverishly to save Penelope and the baby, Penelope was prepped and ready as the doctor raised the scalpal and made the incision. Penelopes vitals were holding steady as the doctor continued working to deliver the baby, it didn't take long before the room was filled with the sound of the baby crying.
The doctor quickly handed the baby to the nurses so they could clean the baby up and weigh and measure it, she then focused on getting started on the next part of the procedure which was sewing Penelope up. Derek was sitting in the corner with his head in his hands when he hears a nurse say, "Penelope Morgans family".
He jumps and everybody runs over and he says, "I'm Derek Morgan I'm her husband", the nurse smiled and said, "the procedure is over and the baby and Penelope are both doing good, when the doctor finishes sewing your wife up she will be out to talk to everybody". Derek said, "can you tell me how much longer before I can see them"?, she said, "it won't be long now, just a few more minutes" before walking back over to the nurses station.
Emily put her hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "well how does it feel daddy"?, he grins and said, "it feels amazing Em and I haven't even seen him or her yet". Fran said, "when they put the baby in your arms for the first time and you look into its little face you will be overwhelmed with love for it just like I was, just like we all were".
The doctor was washing her hands when a nurse came over and said, "doctor Mrs. Morgan is waking up", she dried off her hands and headed back over to Penelopes bedside. When Penelope opened her eyes she was scared, where was she, how was she and was the baby alright, those were some of the questions that were going through her mind.
The doctor put her hand on Penelopes arm and said, "Penelope you are in the hospital, you collapsed in the courtroom", Penelope said, "m m my baby,
how is my baby"?, the doctor grinned and said, "the baby is fine, she is right over there being cleaned up but you will be able to see her in just a few minutes".
Penelope said, "she, did you say she"?, the doctor laughed and said, "I did say she, congratulations Penelope", she smiled and said, "my husband, where is my husband"?, the doctor said, "he's out in the waiting room with the rest of your family, would you like to see him"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes please".
The doctor nodded to the nurse and said, "can you get Mr. Morgan and bring him in here"?, she said, "yes doctor" and Penelope watched as one nurse walked out of the room. The doctor walked over and took the baby into her arms and slowly walked over to Penelopes bedside and said, "are you ready to hold your daughter"?, Penelope said, "more than ready".
When she looked down at the angel laying in her arms she said, "ohhhhh sweetie you are so beautiful, so very very beautiful", she took her finger and gently stroked her daughters dark caramel colored cheek and said, "I love you so much". Derek was talking to Hotch when he heard, "Mr. Morgan your wife is awake and asking for you".
Derek smiled as he headed across the room, he was finally going to get to see his wife and baby and as he followed the nurse the closer he got to the room the faster his heart was racing. When he stepped into the room he saw the beautiful smiling face of Penelope and he couldn't help but smile when she said, "come handsome, come over and meet your daughter".
