Switched At Birth-Ch 2

Penelope was all smiles as the nurse pushed the little bassinette into the room, she then picked up the baby and handed her to Penelope. She said, "if you need anything please let me know", Penelope said, "thank you", she looked down and said, "wait a minute, something's off, somethings wrong".

Derek and the team walked into the room and he said, "what's wrong"?, she said, "does she look different to you"?, Derek opened his mouth to agree and the nurse said, "sometimes they change a little from birth, that's normal, don't worry".

Penelope and Derek then shook off initial thoughts and shifted their attention to the beautiful little girl in Penelopes arms. Fran stepped closer and said, "awwww she's gorgeous", Derek said, "of course she is momma, she belongs to the most beautiful woman in the world".

Reid smiled and said, "I can't wait to spoil her rotten", Emily said, "me either Spence", JJ said, "ohhh I could just squeeze her chubby cheeks". Dave said, "of course you know that we're all gonna spoil her rotten, right guys", Hotch said, "I was just getting ready to say the same thing Dave" causing everybody to laugh.

Derek sighed happily and said, "I can't believe that she's finally here, Jamie's finally here", Fran said, "and before you know it she'll be grown up". Penelope said, "I wish my mom and dad and Dereks dad could have seen her", Fran said, "I know that if they were here they would be as proud of you and Derek as we are".

Derek said, "do you really think so momma"?, she hugged her son and said, "I know so baby boy, I know so", Penelope looked up at her mother in law and said, "would you like to hold your granddaughter"?, she said, "of course I would, I would be honored to hold this little angel".

Everybody watched as Fran kissed the little girl on the cheek and say, "I'm your nana Fran and I'm going to love you, protect you and spoil you rotten". Derek laughed and said, "look at that only about 90 minutes old and already got everybody wrapped around her finger" causing everybody to smile.

As Penelope watched Fran hold Jamie she couldn't help but let that feeling creep back into her mind, the feeling that something wasn't right with the baby. She couldn't put her finger on it but she knew that something was definitely different with the baby in Frans arms.

She laid there and she thought, "it's almost like it's a completely different baby", she then shook it off and said, "don't be silly Garcie, she's your daughter, that's Jamie". Derek sat down on the bed beside her and said, "are you alright, you're being really quiet"?, she said, "I'm fine sugar, just tired".

He kissed her lips and said, "why don't you get some sleep baby girl", she yawned and said, "I think I will", she laid back against the pillows and watched as Jamie got passed next to Dave". She felt her eyes getting heavier and heavier, as they closed for the last time her thoughts fell to the beautiful bundle in her nonnos arms.

As the evening continued slowly couple by couple they headed out giving the mommy and daddy some time alone to bond with their daughter. Derek sat looking down at his daughter in the bassinette, he then glanced at his wife, he was so proud to be Penelopes husband and Jamies daddy.

He didn't realize how tired he was until his eyes closed and he felt himself drifting off to sleep, he was so out of it that he didn't notice someone watching from the door. The man stood there for a few seconds and then turned around and headed back up the hall, not glancing back again.
