A Welcomed Surprise-Ch 19
When Anita was finished explaining everything Hotch said, "I'll call the director and fill him in", as he walked away Derek wrapped his arm protectively around his girl and said, "it's going to be alright sweetness, you'll see". Penelope said, "I can't lose her Derek, she's my daughter and I love her so much".
Derek kissed her temple and said, "we're not going to lose our daughter I promise", Reid said, "don't worry Garcia we'll keep you all safe", she looked up at Reid and said, "I'm sorry that you're all involved in this, I don't want you to get hurt". Dave said, "kitten we're not going to get hurt, we're going to find this sick freak and make sure that he's taken care of so that he can't hurt you or my granddaughter".
Penelope said, "thank you papa bear", he winked at her and said, "any time kitten, any time", all of their attention was then drawn to Hotch who walked back over and took a deep breath as he readied to fill them in on the directors decision. Dave said, "what did he say"?, Hotch said, "we're all on protection detail until the threat is over".
Derek said, "can we do it from here or do we need to get Mia and baby girl out of town"?, Hotch said, "it might be a good idea to get the two of them out of town until all of this is over". Dave thought for a minute and said, "I know just the place", Emily said, "pleaseeeeee tell me you're talking about that amazing cabin in the mountains"?, he said, "I am, I'm talking about that very place".
Anita said, "are you that you'll have enough room for everybody"?, Derek said, "it's a 30 room house/cabin and it has 10 bedrooms with built in bathrooms, a dinning room, living room, game room for the kids and it has a chefs kitchen in it plus the other rooms". Anita said, "wow now that sounds nice", Dave said, "well we wanted a place where everybody would be happy".
JJ said, "and trust me when I say that place does just that", Emily said, "and outside their is a huge swingset and sand box for the kids", Anita said, "ohhhh Mia will love that". Derek nodded his head in agreement and said, "we'll load up everybody and head up to the cabin in a few hours so we can get there before dark".
Hotch said, "Em why don't we head home and grab Jack and let's get us a few bags packed and then meet back here ASAP", she said, "sounds like a good idea". Dave said, "I'll call up and have my grounds keeper get everything ready and stocked up for us", JJ said, "Spence we'll go get Henry and pack our things and then get right back here".
Reid nodded his head and said, "sounds like a plan", he then put his hand on Penelopes and said, "we aren't going to let anything happen to you or my niece". Penelope grinned at him and said, "I love you my heap of gray matter", he winked at her and said, "I love you to Garcia, you're my sister and I'll do anything to protect you".
Anita said, "please be careful and if you need anything don't hesitate to call me", Penelope stood up and walked her to the door and said, "thank you for coming and filling everybody in on what's happening". She said, "they all needed to know so that way they could protect both you and Mia", Penelope wiped away a tear and said, "I love that little girl like she was my own".
Anita hugged Penelope and said, "I know and that's what makes you such a good mommy for that little girl", Penelope took a deep breath and whispered, "thank you". As she turned around and headed down the steps she said, "be careful", Penelope said, "don't worry we will be" and she stood there watching as Anita pulled away from the curb.
When everybody had gone she looked at Derek and said, "can you get started on packing our stuff and I'll pack Mias stuff"?, he said, "on it" as he headed up the stairs. Penelope said, "where's Mia"?, he smiled and said, "she's with mom, Dave went home to grab mudgie and their stuff but don't worry sweetness, everything's going to be fine".
He kissed her lips gently before they both headed up the stairs to get their stuff packed so that when the others returned they could get the show on the road so they would be at the cabin and get everything put away before dark.
