What Did We Do-Ch 3
JJ sat listening as Penelope told her everything she could remember and when she was finished JJ said, "sooooo you're married to the man you've been in love with for years"?, Penelope nodded her head and said, "exactly". JJ shrugged her shoulders and said, "I'm not seeing the problem here Garcie".
Penelope said, "the problem is he's my best friend JJ", JJ said, "he's also your husband", Penelope shook her head and said, "you're suppose to be helping me sunshine not making things worse for me". JJ laughed and said, "what do you want me to say"?, Penelope said, "give me a way out of this marriage".
JJ said, "are you really and I mean reallyyyyyy wanting a way out of this marriage"?, Penelope thought for a minute and just as she opened her mouth to speak their was a knock at the door. Henry ran across the room saying, "me get itttttttt", JJ said, "oh no you don't" and got up and ran after her son.
Penelope was sitting there drinking her coffee and when she heard JJ say, "oh hey Morgan", she spit it out, she wiped her mouth off and said, "I can't do this, I can't talk to him now". She got up and grabbed her purse and took a deep breath before slipping out the back door and going down the stairs.
She ran into Reid and he said, "are you okay Garcia"?, she said, "y y yeah, yeah, I'm fine, welllllll I'll catch ya later boy wonder", Reid grabbed her by the hand and said, "woahhhhhhhhh what's this"?, Penelope said, "long story short hotstuff and I got drunk and somehow got married lastnight".
Reid said, "well congratulations", Penelope said, "thanks and can you do me a favor"?, he said, "yeah sure", she said, "I need some time to think so pleaseeeeeee don't tell Morgan where I am". Reid said, "but Garcia", Penelope said, "please Reid, I need some time to think and I can't do that if I'm around him".
Reid nodded his head and said, "okay but I just saw Morgan going up the steps so you better hurry", Penelope kissed his cheek and said, "thank you", he said, "you're welcome but you better hurry". He then watched as Penelope disappeared out the back gate and ran up the street toward the bus stop.
He headed inside and saw Derek and JJ standing in the kitchen, Derek said, "I can't lose her JJ, I've waited years to be with her and now I'm afraid she doesn't want me". Reid laughed and shook his head, JJ said, "is their something you want to add husband dear"?, he said, "well I saw Penelope outside in the back yard and she", Derek said, "wait she was in the back yard" and he pushed by Reid and ran out into the back yard.
Derek looked all around and came back inside and said, "she wasn't there", Reid said, "no, she left", Derek said, "where did she go pretty boy"?, Reid said, "I have no idea, the last time I saw her she was running up the street toward the bus stop". JJ said, "when I went to answer the door she was sitting right here".
Derek said, "what was she saying Jayje"?, JJ said, "Morgan I really don't want" and he said, "please, please tell me, I love her JJ, I love her more than I ever thought possible". Reid and JJ stood there listening as Derek poured out his heart to them, he talked of how he had dreamed of being with Penelope for years and then finally getting her and then her running away.
They listened as he said, "she wants to end the marriage, she wants a divorce and me, well I don't, I want to spend the rest of my life with her, I want us to have beautiful babies and grow old together". Reid smiled and said, "she's still got her cell on her sooooooo just ping the GPS and that should lead you right to her".
Derek hugged Reid and said, "thanks pretty boy", they then watched as he started pinging her cell phone, well with a little help from Scott the new part time analyst. It only took a few minutes before Scott said, "I pinged her on highway 193 heading out of town", Derek said, "thanks Scott".
Before the call ended he said, "ohhhhhh can you please keep me updated on her address"?, he said, "yeah sure" and then the call ended, Derek then looked at his friends and said, "I've got to go after her, I can't lose her now". Reid wrapped his arm around JJ and they both smiled as they watched Derek run through the house and toward his truck.
As he pulled away Reid said, "don't worry Jayje, I think I know where she's going", JJ said, "you do, where"?, he said, "she's going to Rossis cabin, she said she needs some time to think". JJ said, "when Scott tells Derek where she is she won't be alone any more", Reid grinned and said, "wellllllll maybe they'll be able to be alone together" and they both laughed as they headed back into the living room ro rejoin their son.
