Lyric Of Love-Ch 12
It wasn't long before Fran Morgan Rossi walked into the ER and headed straight over to the team, Dave pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips, she said, "any word on my baby boy"?, Dave said, "nothing yet Bella". Fran smiled at Penelope and said, "it's nice to see you again Penelope", Penelope said, "again"?, Fran said, "I was watching your concert on tv, well not all of it I had to go pick up my daughter and missed the part where my son was shot".
Penelope said, "I'm so sorry Mrs. Rossi", Fran saw the huge engagement ring on Penelopes finger and said, "I see congratulations are in order", Penelope said, "yes Derek proposed and". Fran said, "wait, my son proposed to you"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes mam", Fran pulled Penelope into her arms and said, "you must be pretty special, my son has never brought a girl home so to get engaged and not tell me that means he really loves you".
Penelope said, "and I love your son, he's my world and it's my fault that" and their conversation stopped when one of the doctors said, "Derek Morgan", Fran and Penelope said, "yes" in unison. The doctor said, "my name is Dr. Chad Fuller and I will be Mr. Morgans doctor", Fran said, "how is my son"?, Chad said, "the bullet did a lot of damage inside your sons chest".
Fran reached over and took Penelope by the hand as the doctor said, "we need to take him down for surgery", Fran said, "can we see him before you take him down"?, the doctor said, "yes but only for a minute". Hotch said, "excuse me doctor but you said that the bullet did a lot of damage, what did it do"?, the doctor said, "it bounced around and parts of it shattered and nicked his liver and spleen".
Fran said, "so you're going to be removing his spleen"?,he said, "yes mam and we're going to do our best to stop the bleeding to his liver", Dave said, "what are his changes"?, Chad said, "right now I'd say 50-50". Emily said, "how long will the surgery take"?, Chad said, "several hours at least", he then looked at Fran and Penelope and said, "follow me and I'll let the two of you see him for a few minutes before we take him down for surgery", they nodded their heads yes in agreement as they turned around and followed the doctor up the hall toward Dereks room.
When they walked into Dereks cubicle Penelope whispered, "oh my God", Fran gently squeezed her hand as they started making their way over to him, Penelope went to one side and Fran the other and each took one of Dereks hands. Fran said, "it's us baby boy, me and Penelope are both here", Penelope said, "we're here and we love you so please keep fighting".
Fran leaned down and kissed the top of his head and said, "you need to fight to come back to us baby boy", Penelope said, "we need you to fight like you've never fought before hotstuff". Chad stepped over and said, "I'm sorry but we need to get him to surgery", Fran kissed her son again and said, "I love you baby boy and we'll be here waiting on you".
Penelope kissed him gently on the lips and said, "I love you Derek and when you get better we're going to plan our wedding, I can't wait until I'm your wife", she stood up and both her and Fran wiped the tears away that were streaming down their faces as Chad and the orderlies wheeled Dereks bed out of the room and up the hall toward the OR.
