Penelope had finally fallen asleep. After she fell on her side the doctor had ordered an extra dose of painkillers to help. Derek hadn't left her side. He wanted to make sure if she woke up and needed anything he would be there.

He heard some commotion outside of her room so he cast his eyes away form the magazine he was reading to look up. What he saw shocked him. There stood John, waiting outside her room. Derek instantly stood up placing himself between the doorway and Penelope.

John walked in slowly "How long has she been out?"

Derek not sure what was going on looked him up and down "About an hour, she fell on her side causing more pain so the doctor gave her something."

"Oh" John said as he cast his eyes onto the sleeping Penelope. He looked back at Morgan. "I want to apologize."

"What?" Derek said in disbelief.

"I want to apologize for the way I acted. I was just taken by surprise."

Derek watched as John moved closer to Penelope. "John, if anyone should apologize it should be me. I was the one sleeping with your girlfriend." Morgan watched as John flinched at his words.

"What you did was wrong yes. I am not denying that. Penelope deserves whatever her heart wants, and if that's you then so be it. I always knew she had something for you. She mentioned you all the time." John looked from Penelope to Derek "She called out your name when she had nightmares."

Hearing his words Derek's heart beat faster. He does the same thing when he has a nightmare about his past.

"John, look I'm really sorry. Penelope and I have something that words can't describe. No matter how hard I try there are just no words for it."

"I came back to check on her and talk, just talk, no shouting, or blaming, just talking. I thought she was the one, but I guess you're her one." He cast his eyes back down to the sleeping Penelope. "I still want her to be in my life. I understand it can't be in the same capacity that it was, but I still need her around. There is something about her."

Derek didn't know how he felt about John staying around but he understood what he was saying. "She draws people into her world and it's impossible to escape it."

John smiled. "I'm hurt, there is no denying that but I still want to be there for her. I already told Tom, he's probably already told Emily. I asked him to not be upset with her, and to tell Emily to do the same. You can't help who you fall in love with."

"She does love you."

"I know she does. I also knew there was a part of her heart she would never let me touch no matter how many times I tried. I didn't know what that part was until now." He looked back at Morgan. "You have always owned her heart, she just let me borrow it for a while."

Emily was pacing the room. "Repeat that, Tom?"

Tom took a deep breath. "Sweetheart, I know it's a lot to wrap your head around. When John told me I almost spit out my water."

"How could she do this to him?"

"I don't think she intended to hurt him Em. You've told me the stories about her and Morgan and how they acted together. People that didn't know them always assumed they were and item anyway. It was bound to happen don't you think? "

"How could he not be mad at her?"

"On some level he is mad at her, but he loves her too much to show it. John's a one of a kind you know that. He's a hopeless romantic, Don Juan. His heart belonged to her but her heart never belonged to him."

Emily sat down at the table. " I don't even know how to feel. A part of me wants to scream and yell and Penelope and punch Morgan, but there is another part of me that's saying it's about damn time for them." She shook her head. "He treated her like shit when he took over Hotch's job. Pen was devastated when he dismissed her at every turn. She was so frighten to come to my house that night Kevin cheated on her because she didn't know if she would be welcomed. She said normally she would have just shown up at Morgan's and no matter what he was doing he would fix her. He was so absent in her life she felt like she couldn't even go to him."

"Look what she always says, 'everything happens for a reason'. This whole situation is happening the exact way its supposed to happen."

"Why are you so calm right now?"

"It was in Johns voice. The way he told me calmed my anger and frustration."

"I never thought Penelope would be a cheater, hell she was cheated on. She knows how that feels."

"I really don't think it was ever her intention to hurt anyone. And knowing PG like I do she was probably eaten up inside about it. "

Emily stayed quite.

"The rest of the team is going to find out soon enough. Lets not lose sight of why we are really here. That's to catch a killer and someone that beat the living shit out of one of our best friends."

Emily nodded with tears in her eyes. Tom was right, no matter how she was feeling about the situation she loved Garcia like a sister and she was taken by the UNSUB and beaten so bad she coded twice. She then thought about how Morgan reacted when they found out she was missing. He went biolistic nearly mauling the hospital staff trying to get to her. He really did love her.

"Come on sweetheart lets get some tea." Tom grabbed her hand bring her out of her chair.

"Tea? What is up with you British people and tea?" She smiled at him.

"Fine, coffee. I guess I'll have to get used to it seeing as I put in for reassignment to the states." He looked into her eyes watching her response.

At first she was in shock, but then a huge smile came across her face. "Tom, I think I'm in love with you." She said a little quiet.

He smiled back at her. "Good, because I know I'm in love with you."

Reid was sitting in the office with Rossi and JJ. They had been working with Lynch trying to pin point the UNSUB that had beaten their friend causing her to be laid up in a hospital room.

Reid looked down at this phone when he felt it go off. He had received a new text from Morgan.

Everything is out. John and Hotch both know.

"Shit." Reid said not thinking other people were in the room.

"Excuses me, Reid?" Rossi said cocking his head to the side.

"Umm, nothing." Reid said nervously

"No that wasn't nothing. Who text you?"

"Morgan."

JJ jumped up. "Is Penelope okay? Did something happen?"

Reid shook his head, he didn't know if Penelope was okay or not. For all he knew there was World War III happening at the hospital.

"Reid, you tell me right now what's going on." JJ said ready to push him against the wall.

He looked uneasy at first. "I don't know if Penelope is fine or not right now. Nothing happened to her medically that I'm aware of. It was just brought to everyone's attention something was happening." Reid was now so uncomfortable his cheeks were red and he started sweating.

Rossi took a deep breath "Let me guess, John found out Morgan and Garcia have been sleeping together?"

Reid's eyes grew wide, while JJ spun around staring at Rossi.

"What you thought you were the only one that knew?" Rossi said looking at Reid.

"No, it's not that it's just…"

Rossi held up his hand to silence him. "I had my suspicions from the plane. It was the way her eyes grew wide when she saw Morgan going to sit with her, it was the same look she had when I told her about the room assignments." He smiled at himself.

"Rossi?" JJ asked.

"I was actually supposed to be in Morgan's room. I wanted to confirm my theory so I did a little room switch. When Morgan woke everyone up to inform us Garcia was missing I knew with the way he was acting I had been correct. Reid try as you might, throwing items into a room doesn't exactly make it look like its been used. You did your best though. "

Reid sputtered.

"Reid, do you really think we wouldn't have noticed? I mean come on we are profilers. I can see where Hotch and the rest of the team wouldn't see the state of the room, but I had my suspicions before she ever went missing."

JJ had tears in her eyes. "What about John?"

Reid looked at his friend "I finally got Garcia to talk to me. She doesn't want to hurt John in anyway, some part of her does love him, but her heart belongs to Morgan. It always has and always will."

Rossi agreed. "Did Morgan say anything else? Where's Hotch?"

"No nothing else. I'm not sure where Hotch is? For all I know he had to break up a fight between John and Morgan and they are all in the ER."

"Come on guys we need to head to the hospital." Ross walked out of the room in search of Tom and Prentiss.

Penelope groaned as she slowly opened her eyes. "Oww" she cried as she felt the pain. Morgan was right there next to her holding her hand. She looked at him then noticed the movement in the corner, she assumed it was Hotch but when she turned her head she saw John sitting up in a chair looking at her.

She thought she was dreaming. Why would he come back here? Was he here to yell at her? Hurt her? She looked back at Derek who nodded his head.

She moved her head once again to face the corner "John?"

"Yeah baby I'm here, Sorry I mean Penelope." He got off the chair and moved to sit on the opposite side of the bed as Morgan

"Oh John." She breathed out as tears filled her eyes.

He grabbed onto her hand and squeezed. He looked over at Morgan "Would you mind if we talked for a few minutes?" Morgan nodded leaned in and kissed Penelope softly and left the room.

"John I'm so sorry." She said in a whisper.

"Penelope, I know you're sorry. What you did was wrong and it hurt a lot of people not just me. "

She swallowed hard. Why was he being so nice to her? Shouldn't he want to never see her again?

"I still love you, I probably will always love you but I know your heart belongs to Morgan. It always has, you used to call out to him in your sleep. I thought when he became your boss you would learn to let go of whatever hold he had on you but I guess it just intensified."

"John I really do love you."

"I believe you love me, I have no doubt in my mind you love me, but you love him more. Even If I were to take you away and marry you tomorrow, I would still only own half of your heart."

"I'm so sorry, please don't hate me." She had tears running down her face.

"I could never hate you sweetheart." He kissed her lips; he could hear the growl that came from behind him so he knew Morgan was back in the room. He smiled a little. Hey if Morgan was going to get the girl the least John could do was fuck with him a little. "What you and I had was hot, Pen. You have given me some of the best orgasms' of my life. Remember when we had the team come with us to the carnival a couple months ago and we found the empty bounce house." He made a noise of approval. "God, I don't think I have ever come so hard in my life."

"That's enough" Morgan said threw clenched teeth.

John looked over at him with a wicked smile. Morgan shook his head knowing what he was doing.

John tuned back to Penelope. "I still want to be there for you in anyway you will have me. I don't think I have ever had as much fun in my life then I've had with you and I don't want to give that up."

"I want you in my life John. You saved me when I had no one. You made me feel like it was okay to be me again, I always feel so special when I'm around you."

"That's because you are special, Penelope. You're one of a kind. Maybe one day when I'm not hurting as bad, you can help me find my someone. I already know they will never be as good as you but with your help in finding her I might have a real shot at second best."

She squeezed his hand. "How can you be so good to me after how I hurt you?"

"I would rather be hurt by you and still have you in my life then not have you at all."

"I love you." She whispered. He leaned in and captured her lips again. He didn't care about the growling he heard coming from behind him. This was a goodbye kiss, a kiss he was going to remember for the rest of his life.

AN: "You have always owned her heart, she just let me borrow it for a while." – this line broke my heart when I wrote it. I think it's my favorite thing I have written in this story. I don't know if there will be many more chapters. It depends on what my muse decides. I'm good at angst but not that good on bringing back from the angst. As always thank you for reading and reviewing it always makes me feel wonderful.
