Switched At Birth-Ch 6
When Penelope came to she was laying on a gurney in the ER with Derek right by her side holding her hand, she said, "please tell me it was all a bad dream, please hotstuff". Derek gently squeezed her hand and said, "I wish I could baby girl, I wish I could", he moved up on the bed beside her and pulled her into his arms.
He held her close and said, "that can't be right, she has to be ours, she just has to be", Penelope said, "our little angel isn't our little angel", Derek ran his hand up and down her back and said, that's what the blood work says". Penelope said, "can't we get DNA testing done on her, that will prove that she's ours right"?, Derek said, "the genetic markers in the bloodwork didn't match, she's not ours, she's not ours" as he broke down and started crying.
Meanwhile out in the waiting room Reid said, "how is this possible, how is Jamie not theirs"?, JJ said, "the tests have to be wrong, they just have to be". Emily said, "JJ's right they have to be wrong", Hotch said, "we need to find out what other babies were born that night to a biracial couples".
Reid nodded his head and said, "on it" as him and JJ headed toward the records department, Emily said, "we're going to have to get a court order to get the records". Hotch nodded his head and said, "I'll see about getting the paperwork started", Emily sighed as she watched her husband pull his cell off his belt and dial a number.
Fran was up and in a wheel chair, she would be spending the next few days in the hospital for observation but she had to know what was going on, she had to know how her granddaughter was doing. As Dave and the girls headed up the hall they glanced into a room and saw Derek sitting there holding Penelope and both of them were crying so everybody thought the worse had happened.
Dave said, "no, no, no, please don't tell me", Penelope wiped her eyes and said, "she's not dead, she's stable", Fran said, "something had to happen to have you both so upset". Derek said, "we were just hit with some news, news that devastated us", Fran said, "what news", Penelope said, "our blood doesn't match".
Sarah said, "who's blood, yours or Dereks"?, Derek said, "neither, neither mine or baby girls match", Desi said, "how is that possible, I thought that a child has to have one of their parents blood type"?, Derek said, "they do and we don't match". Dave said, "what are you saying, are you saying that Jamie doesn't belong to you"?, Penelope looked up and said, "that's exactly what we're saying, our baby isn't our baby" and then she buried her head in Dereks chest and started crying.
Dave looked at the girls and said, "can you stay with your mom, I'm going to go see if their is something I can do"?, the girls nodded their heads yes, Dave then walked up and kissed Penelope on the top of the head and said, "I'm so sorry kitten". Penelope said, "t t thanks Dave", Derek looked up and Dave said, "I'm so sorry son, so sorry", Derek wiped away the tears that were streaming down his face and said, "thanks Dave".
Dave kissed his wife on the lips and said, "I love you" and then after glancing one final time at his heartbroken family he turned around and headed out of the room and heading in search of answers.
