Her head was killing her. Everything was dark and she couldn't seem to open her eyes. It hurt to breath and her side felt like there was an elephant sitting on her. She groaned with the pain she was feeling.

"Sweetheart, It's me Derek. You're okay, you're safe I'm here. Open your eyes. "

She slowly opened her eyes "Derek?"

"Yes baby, I'm here. Relax try not to move. You're in the hospital. " Her eyes were open all the way now. "What happened? Where is everyone?"

"You were beaten up baby, it's just Reid and me here. Hotch sent the rest of the team to help find who did this." He bent down and kissed her lips passionately "God baby, I was so worried. I love you so much."

Reid cleared his throat "You guys are going to have to knock that off. It could have been someone else walking in."

"Reid," Garcia said painfully.

"How are you feeling, Garcia?"

"My head and side hurts so bad. I can't even move."

"Has the doctor come in yet?"

Morgan looked up at Reid and shook his head no. "She just woke up before you walked in. Can you go get him for us please?"

"Sure Morgan."

Reid left the room to go find the doctor. "Penelope, I know there is a lot going on right now but you need to know I am serious about you. I love you with all my heart and want to -"

"Penelope!" John came running into the hospital room. "Baby, oh my God, what happened?" He ran over to the other side of her bed bending down to kiss her passionately. When he pulled away form the kiss he started placing kisses anywhere he could get his lips on.

"John cool it she's in pain." Morgan bit out trying to control the urge to hit him.

"Baby, what happened? Emily called me to tell me you were missing and I booked a flight here right away. Tom came with me, he dropped me off and went to go meet the team to help. Baby, I have been so worried." He bent down and kissed her again.

Morgan was glad to see Reid walk back in with the doctor. He was about to lose it. "Ms. Garcia, I see you're awake. How are you feeling?"

"Is that a trick question?"

The doctor chuckled. "Ms. Garcia you were in rough shape when they brought you in. What is the last thing you remember?"

She looked over at Morgan and bit her lip. "I went for a walk and I realized I went a little to far from the hotel and turned to go back, that's it."

"Baby why did you go for a walk?" John asked holding her hand.

"The images. I just needed to clear my head." She put her head down in shame, she can't keep lying like this. This wasn't her.

"Ms. Garcia. Can you tell me where it hurts?"

"I feel like I was run over by a truck, but my side and head hurt the worst."

"You were beaten pretty badly Ms. Garcia. It seems as though you were hit in the head forcefully knocking you unconscious. You have some stab wounds along your upper body and one on your left breast. You also have two broken ribs on your right side. That's why you can't move very well. You had some internal bleeding but your fine now."

She had tears pouring out of her eyes "Was I… was I…"

"I'm sorry Ms. Garcia the rape kit was inconclusive. We did find sperm but there was not a lot of forcible bruising. The sperm sample has been sent to the lab, but it looks more like consensual intercourse. Can you tell me the last time you have had intercourse?"

She looked at Morgan, then the doctor, then to John, then to Reid, and back at Morgan. She felt like the walls were closing in on her and she couldn't breath and started to feel dizzy.

"Ms. Garcia, Ms. Garica, calm down. You're having a panic attack." the doctor pulled something out of a cart and put it in her IV. "This will help calm you. I know it's a lot to take in. Get some rest and I'll come back later I'll have the nurse bring you by some more pain medication in about 30 minutes."

She looked up at the doctor and started crying. He took her hand and squeezed it "You're a strong woman Ms. Garcia. It looks like you have a great support system. If you need me for anything have one of the staff page me."

She watched as the doctor left the room leaving her with Reid, Morgan and John; her boyfriend, her secret lover, and the one person who knows it all. "Garcia do you want me to get you anything? Water?" Reid asked.

"No sweetie, thank you." She looked down at her hands. Morgan had her right while John had her left.

"Baby, I'm so sorry I didn't call you when you said you had to look at horrible pictures all day. If I had you wouldn't have gone for a walk. This is all my fault." John said looking into her eyes.

"It's not your fault John, its no ones fault" she said looking at Morgan hoping he understood she was also talking to him.

"Baby, I should always be there to protect you. I'm so sorry. I'll never let anything happen to you again. I'll always be there for you, that's why when we get you back home I want you to move in with me. You practically live there anyway."

She couldn't do this anymore she had to come clean. "John I..."

"PG! You're awake!" The rest of her team came rushing into her room. Hotch walked over to his analyst "How are you doing, Penelope?"

"Wow it must be bad if you're calling me Penelope. I'm fine Aaron you won't be asking me to dance for a while but I can deal. Did you get anywhere with whomever did this to me?"

He grew serious "Our UNSUB left a note attached to your bra, you must have come close to finding him because he sought you out to warn us to back away from the case."

"Oh God." She gasped.

"We aren't backing down Garcia. We have Lynch working where you left off. We will find him I promise. In the mean time I want you to get some rest. I'll have Morgan stay with you and John."

"I'm really fine Sir." She didn't want to be stuck in a room with both of them at the same time.

"Sir? Really Pen. I give you one order and it's back to Sir? You're right, I won't be asking you to dance for a while." He said with a wink trying to lighten the mood.

There was a knock at the door. The doctor was standing there with some files and had a stern expression on his face. "Excuse me you are Aaron Hotchner right? Ms. Garcia's boss?"

Hotch looked back at the doctor "Yes that's me."

"I need to speak to you in private."

The room fell silent as Hotch got off the end of the bed and walked out of the door with the doctor.

"What do you think that was about?" JJ asked Rossi.

"I don't know but it didn't look good." He walked over to Garcia. "Kitten how are you feeling?"

"I wish everyone would stop asking me that. The nurse will be by with pain medication soon, well I hope soon. Ask me then, My head and side feel like hell."

"That's to be expected with broken ribs and a head injury. You think it hurts now wait until they have to rewrap your ribs the first time."

"Dave! Don't freak her out. She won't let a nurse do it now." Emily said swatting Rossi in the arm.

Morgan leaned down to kiss her cheek "It sucks yes, but it's not that bad. Remember when you helped change my bandages when I had the broken ribs a few years back? It'll be okay. I'll help you like you helped me. "

John looked up and Morgan with is eyebrow raised. "I'll take care of it. No need for you to see my naked girlfriend."

She had tears in her eyes again. Tom walked over and patted her ankle. "You'll be fine PG! John is going to take good care of you."

Meanwhile outside of Garcia's room

"Agent Hotchner, it is my understanding you are in charge of Ms. Garcia is that correct?" the doctor asked.

"Yes, we just went over that."

"We received the DNA results back from the rape kit. We also found a match in our system. The interesting thing is, the person the DNA belongs too is also under your command."

"Excuse me?" Hotch didn't understand what the doctor was trying to get at.

"You are the leader for a Derek Morgan are you not?"

"The DNA you found inside Garcia was from Morgan?!"

"Yes, like I said before, it's was never conclusive if she were raped or not. There was some force used but that's very common with rough intercourse. I did ask her earlier about the last time she had consensual intercourse but she had a panic attack. I don't believe Agent Morgan raped her but because we did find his DNA they will both have to make a statement. I thought it would be best if I told you first."

Hotch was beyond pissed. Morgan had said they'd gotten into a fight before she went for a walk. Did he force himself on her? Was that what the fight was about? "Thank you Doctor. I appreciate you telling me. I'll have both my agents make their statements."

The doctor nodded "I'll have the nurse bring Ms. Garcia her pain meds in about ten minutes." he turned and left a furious Hotch.

He took a deep breath before he entered Garcia's room.

"Morgan outside now. Reid, you're in charge of Garcia. Make sure she gets some sleep the nurse will be bringing her pain meds in any minute."

"Aaron is everything okay?" Rossi looked at Hotch.

Rossi could tell by his dark eyes something was wrong.

Morgan followed Hotch out of the room. "Hotch what's going on?"

Hotch normally would never lose his cool but he was on the edge of breaking. "Wait Morgan. Just wait until we are behind closed doors."

Morgan had a sinking feeling in his stomach. He took a deep breath and followed Hotch into a near by conference room.

"Sit Morgan" Hotch said glaring at him.

"Hotch what's going on?"

"I said sit down Morgan."

Morgan followed Hotch's orders and sat down. "The doctor gave me Garcia's test results. There was something interesting that came up."

"Hotch before you say anything else, please let me explain."

"I don't believe you raped her Morgan. I have no idea what happened between you two but if you did forced yourself on her in anyway I can promise you they will never find the body."

"Hotch its not like that a swear, it was consensual. I love her." Hotch looked his agent up and down and sighed.

"I figured as much. Would you please care to explain? I now have to have two of my agents write official statements that you didn't rape her."

Morgan took a deep breath. "It all started the first night at the bar. I was going there with the idea of making a move on Garcia. I missed her so much, Hotch. I missed my best friend and I realized I was in love with her. It was a shock to my system to see her dancing with John and then when she went into the bathroom with him I nearly died. I wanted to be John, I wanted Garcia to look at me the way she was looking at him the way she used to look at me." He took a deep breath "I was going to fight for her heart so I decided to help the guys out and play on their baseball team. They kept talking about that stupid point game. Do you know how hard it is to listen to someone talk about fucking the women you love? Trust me it ain't easy. You know she wasn't feeling good at the bar and you wanna know what that asshole did? Nothing Hotch. He just continued talking about the game. So I went outside to look for her. One thing lead to another and well… you know."

"That's a great story Morgan but it still doesn't explain about the less then 48 hour sperm."

"You said you wanted the whole story right?"

He nodded to go on. "Anyway, I couldn't stop thinking about her that night. I guess she felt the same way because she ended up texting me and I jumped in my car to meet her. She wanted it to be our last time but there's something that draws us together. Look at our room assignments, it's like the universe knows we are supposed to be together." He shook his head with a smile. "She wanted to talk the night she went missing but I didn't want to. I knew she was going to talk about John and I didn't want her to end anything. I love her, Hotch, I really truly love her. After we made love she got dressed and we started to argue about the affair. I told her I was in love with her and she told me it was just pent up lust. She wanted to go for a walk to clear her head, I wasn't going to let her but she was dressed and I was still naked so I couldn't quite run after her. I figured she'd come back soon and I would pour my heart out to her."

He looked away from Hotch. "The moment the doctor mentioned that they found sperm I knew it was mine. I knew you all were going to find out. I just wanted to talk to Garcia first. I need to know who she chose and if she chose John I am going to fight like hell to prove to her she made the wrong choice."

Hotch sat down at the table. "John is going to find out. He already knows about the rape kit."

"I know, I just need to speak with Garcia first. Hotch; she is my one, the love of my life. You can't tell me she doesn't feel the same way. She wouldn't be with me if she didn't."

"That's something you two will need to figure out. I'm going to have the detective come and take your statement. Once he is done with you I'll have everyone leave Garcia's room so she can give hers."

"Thanks, Hotch."

"Don't thank me yet. Lets just get this UNSUB and get out of this mess."

AN: Everything comes out soon. Thanks for sticking with my stories and me; you all are the best. Thank you for the reviews.
