Switched At Birth-Ch 10

Derek and Penelope jumped up when the doctor came out of Jamies room a few minutes later and Penelope said, "how is she, is she alright'?, the doctor smiled and said, "she's stable and off the vent". Derek said, "that's great news", the doctor nodded her head and said, "it definitely is", Penelope said, "now that she's awake how long will she have to stay here in the hospital"?, the doctor said, "at least a few days so that we can monitor her to make sure her blood gets built back up".

Penelope said, "I can't tell you how happy you've made us", Reid walked over to Penelope and said, "can I hold Maddie'?, she smiled and said, "of course you can my heap of gray matter" as she handed the baby over to her uncle Reid. JJ smiled and said, "makes you want to have another one doesn't it"?, Reid grinned and said, "actually yes".

JJ said, "really"?, he nodded his head and said, "yes really, is that something that you'd be interested in"?, she grinned and said, "definitely, now that Henry is a little older I think it's a good time for us to try to have another baby". JJ kissed his lips and said, "I love you Spencer Reid" causing Reid to laugh and say, "and I love you Spence".

Derek intertwined fingers with Penelope and brought her hand to his lips and kissed it and said, "now we can focus on moving on with our lives", he looked down at Maddie who was sleeping in Reids arms. Penelope said, "we have both of our girls and in a few days we'll be heading home and we can have a big party to celebrate everything", Derek nodded his head in agreement and said, "a party sounds good".

Hotch said, "any news on how long Fran has to stay in the hospital"?, Derek said, "she'll probably get out when Jamie does", Penelope said, "speaking of your mom, we should take Maddie down and introduce her to her grandma". Derek said, "you wanna pry her away from her uncle, it sounds like he's telling her a story about something wild over there".

Penelope laughed and said, "we'll let him finish his story first", Emily sighed happily and said, "you know what you need to spend the time doing while Jamie is still in here, right"?, Derek looked at her and said, "ya lost me Em". Emily said, "you need to get one more of everything you got for Jamie", Penelope said, "she's right hotstuff, we need to make sure that everything is there when we take her home".

Hotch said, "don't worry you can order everything on line and then when it comes time for delivery one of us can go and let them in and stay until they have everything put together". Penelope kissed him on the cheek and said, "you're awesome bossman", he laughed and said, "well I've got to do my part as one of the favorite uncles don't I"?, causing her to wink at him and nod her head yes.

About 30 minutes later Penelope, Derek and Maddie were walking into Frans room, she looked up and said, "is that Jamie"?, Derek said, "no momma this is Madison but we all call her Maddie". Derek slid the baby into her arms and said, "Maddie this is your nana Fran", Fran said, "ohhhh she's beautiful, beautiful just like Jamie", Dave said, "of course she is she's my granddaughter just like Jamie" causing Derek to smile.

Meanwhile at Veras office, she is sitting at her desk working on paperwork when she hears somebody knock on her door, she said, "come in", her secretary opened the door and said, "Vera their is somebody out here that you really need to talk to". Vera got up and said, "who is it"?, the woman said, "it's Veronica Sloan", Vera said, "and she issss"?, the young woman said, "Madisons errr Jamies grandma, she's here to get custody of her".

Vera shook her head and said, "send her in, send her in", she then stood there waiting for Veronica to come through her door so that she could see what she wanted and why it took her so long to come forward.
