Old Friends-Ch 24

Derek and Fran stood up and Dr. Smith said, "everything went well, the tube to re-inflate her lung is in place, we had to remove her spleen because of the amount of damage done to it". Derek looked at him and said, "when can I see her"?, Dr. Smith smiled and said, "right now she is in recovery,
but when she is put in her room then I can allow 1 at a time to go in and see her".

Derek sighed and said, "so does this mean that she is gonna be alright"?, smiled and said, "the next 24 to 48 hours are gonna be rough on her but I am expecting a full recovery". Derek shook hands with Dr. Smith and said, "thank you so so much", he smiled and said, "your very welcome, but you need to know that her recovery might take a little time".

Fran squeezed her sons hand and he said, "I will be with her every step of the way", Dr. Smith smiled and said, "it is obvious that Ms. Garcia holds your heart Mr. Morgan". Derek laughed and said, "she always has doc and she always will", he smiled and said, "I will let you know when they put her in her room".

Derek looked around and saw the team walking over to him, Reid said, "what did the doctor say"?, Derek pulled Reid into his arms and kissed the top of his head and said, "she is gonna be fine pretty boy, it might take her a while to make a full recovery but she is gonna be fine". Reid smiled and said, "I hope I get to be your best man", Derek looked at him and said, "how did you know that I was gonna propose"?, Reid laughed and said, "genius remember", Derek laughed as the rest of the team smiled at the news.

Rossi pulled his cell out and sent Hotch a text, Hotch and Emily were talking about her moving back to Virginia and working for the BAU when he got the text. Hotch smiled and Emily said, "that smile must mean that PG is gonna be alright"?, Hotch leaned down and passionately kissed Emily on the lips and said, "Rossi said, that she is in recovery right now but that she is expected a full recovery".

Emily wrapped her arms around Hotchs neck and said, "I love you Mr. Hotchner", he smmiled and said, "how much do you love me Ms. Prentiss", she looked at him and said, "I love you more than you'll ever know". He smiled as he pulled a little black box out of his pocket, she looked up at him and said,
"ohhhhhhhhhhhhh god is that what I thinnk it is"?, he kissed her lips and said, "well it is what you think it is if you are thinking that it is an engagement ring".

Emily felt her heart beating faster and faster as she watched Hotch slowly open the box, inside the box was a ring that had 3 layers of diamonds on it. Hotch smiled and said, "Emily, I love you, I have loved you for a very very long time, you are the woman that healed my heart after Haley died and I want to spend the rest of my life with you".

Hotch looked at Emily and said, "Emily Prentiss would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?, she smiled and said, "yes, yes, ohhhhhhhhhhhhh God yessssssssssssss". Hotch pressed his lips aginst hers and said, "I love you Ms. Prentiss", she wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "I love you to Mr. Hotchner".

Derek looked up and saw Dr. Smith walking back over to him, he stood up and the doctor said, "Ms. Garcia is in room 222, if you would like to go see her", Derek practically sprinted down the hall, Fran laughed and said, "I think it will be a while before we see him again", Dr. Smith smiled and said,
"the rest of you can see her in an hour or so".

Fran and the rest of the team minus Hotch smiled as they watched the doctor walk up the hall, JJ smiled and said, "how about we go get something to eat, I don't know about you guys, but I am starving". Rossi smiled and sent Hotch a message telling him that they were going to get something to eat and that they would bring him something.

Derek took a deep breath as he opened the door, he felt his heart beating faster and faster as he walked closer and closer to his goddess, his baby girl, the love of his life and hopefully his future wife. He sat down beside her bed and put her swollen and bruised hand up to his lips and gently kissed it.

He raised up and kissed her on the forehead and then the lips and said, "baby you scared me and you scared me good", he smiled as he sat back down,
he said, "my momma is here goddess and she can't wait for us to get married so she can have those grandbabies", he felt anger when he looked down at her bruised and swollen face, he wanted to bring that man back to life and kill him over and over for what he did to his baby girl.

He looked down and said, "when you wake up baby, I am gonna ask you to make an honest man out of me, I am gonna ask you to marry me goddess, we are gonna have a great life together, you and me and a whole house filled with little Morgans". He kissed her hand before laying his head down on the side of her bed.

A few minutes later he said, "what are you gonna say goddess when I asked you to marry me?, he laid his head down and closed his eyes, a few minutes later he heard a voice faintly say, "I would say yes my chocolate adonis".
