Summer Rental-Ch 12

The doctor said, "well according to her test results she has a minor case of pneumonia", Penelope said, "how minor", the doctor said, "well I would like to keep her for a couple of days and run the antibiotics through her IV's". Reid said, "what about breathing treatments", she grinned and said, "yes I have also prescribed breathing treatments, 1 three times a day until she is released".

Penelope said, "is it okay if I stay with her"?, she said, "of course, I will arrange a private room so you can all stay with her if you would like", Reid said, "what about something for the fever", she said, "she will be getting Motrin and Tylenol and they will be alternated". Penelope said, "I gave her some Motrin before we left the house".

The doctor put her hand on Penelopes shoulder and said, "that was the wise thing to do", Derek said, "how long do you think it will be before her temperature starts coming down"?, the doctor said, "I'm hoping not long, the antibiotics should start reaching the infection soon so maybe in a few hours her fever will start going down".

Derek sighed and said, "thank you for everything doctor", she smiled and said, "you are very welcome now if any of you need or want anything please just let the nurses know". The trio all grinned and nodded their heads as they watched the doctor walk out of the room, Derek looked down at his daughter and said, "I can't believe that she's sick, she was fine earlier today".

Reid said, "sometimes pneumonia is like that, sometimes the patient will show with no symptoms like Melody did", Penelope gently ran her hand over her daughters head and said, "I can't stand it when she's sick, it breaks my heart to know that my baby is sick". Reid gently squeezed her shoulders and said, "she's going to be fine P and in a few days we can take her home".

Derek took a deep breath and said, "Penelope I'm sor", she held up her hand and said, "Derek can we not talk about Savannah at least not right now"?, he nodded his head and said, "sure no problem". She sat down beside Melodys bed while Reid and Derek walked across the room, Reid said, "she knows that what happened isn't your fault but she's hurt, just give her some time".

Derek said, "I can't say I blame her I mean look at my neck it has hickies all over it", Reid said, wellllllll that isn't all that's bothering her", Derek then glanced at her over his shoulder and said, "what else is it"?, Reid motioned for Derek to step out into the hall and said, "she told me that she called your number and heard you and Savannah making love and".

Derek ran his hand over his head and said, "and, oh my god there's an and"?, he said, "yes, unfortunately you told Savannah that you loved her", he said, "I wasn't seeing Savannah I was seeing Penlope". Reid said, "I know that but right now you need to give her a little time to adapt to everything that's happening right now", he nodded his head yes in agreement.

Reid walked back to the door and watched as Penelope wiped away tears as they ran down her cheek, all she could hear was Savannah moaning and Dereks words in her head, "I love you, I love you". She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and said, "it wasn't him, he wasn't himself, it was the drugs Penelope, it was the drugs".

Reid looked up and smiled as he saw his team walking up the hall, he stuck his head in Melodys room and said, "P, the team's here", she smiled as she got up and walked to the door. JJ smiled weakly at her and said, "how is she Garcie"?, she said, "she has pneumonia and will be in the hospital for a few days but then thank goodness we get to take her home".

Emily said, "it's hard when your child is sick, believe me I understand", Penelope said, "how is Jack doing"?, she said, "ohhhhh he's great and asking about his Melody allllllll the time". Penelope laughed and said, "when Melody gets better we will have to arrange a play date for those two", Emily nodded her head and said, "ohhhhh Jack will love that", Penelope said, "Melody to Em, Melody to".

Reid said, "guys this is Derek Morgan and Derek this is Aaron Hotchner and his wife Emily and this is Jeniffer Jones aka JJ and this is David Rossi", he smiled as he shook hands with the team. Hotch said, "I have talked to one of the doctors and she has arranged for us to talk in the conference room at the end of the hall".

Derek nodded his head and looked at Penelope and said, "I'll be right back", she sighed and said, "okay" as she watched him head off with the team leaving her alone. She walked into Melodys room and glanced out the window, she couldn't believe how much had changed over the past several hours, she was so happy and Melody wasn't sick but now she was miserable and her daughter was a very sick little girl.

She took a deep breath and turned around when there was a knock at the door, when she turned around she expected to see a nurse or doctor standing there but the person she saw standing there was Savannah. She stepped into the room and said, "I'm looking for Derek" as she was sure to expose the hickies on her neck to Penelope".

Penelope walked over and said, "GET OUT", she said, "now now Penelope, jealousy isn't becomming of you", Penelope said, "I don't want you in here and if you don't get out". Savannah stepped forward smirking and said, "you'll what"?, Penelope raised her hand up slapped Savannah hard across the face and said, "NOW GET OUTTTTT".
