What Doesn't Kill Us-Ch 20
Derek ran his hand over his head as he watched as they shocked the love of his life 4 times before they were able to get her back, the medic looked up and said,
"we need to go nowww". Derek said, "she's my fiancee, can I ride with her"?, he nodded his head yes and said, "but we have to go now", Derek looked at Reid and he said, "I'll follow you".
The rest of the team came into the room in time to see the medics taking Penelope out, Reid looked at Hotch and said, "I'm going to follow the ambulance", he looked at JJ and Emily and said, "you two go with Reid and Dave and I will join you as soon as this scene is under control". Emily quickly kissed her husband on the lips before they ran out of the room.
Derek held the still hand of his baby girl all the way to the hospital, he would squeeze it and tell her how much he loved her, when they roared into the ER area the doors were yanked open and he jumped out. He watched as Penelope was wheeled past him with a team of doctors and nurses working on her, he ran in right behind them not wanting to miss any updates.
He followed them into a room and watched as the doctors ordered X-rays, bloodwork with typing and crossmatching as they worked to stabilize her, one of the doctors walked over to him and he said, "how's she doing"?, the doctor said, "she's losing a lot of blood and we need to get her to surgery right now and see how much damage was done by the knife.
Derek said, "wh what are her chances"?, the doctor said, "right now not very good but we need to see how much damage was done first and then I might be able to give you better odds". He nodded his head as he wiped away the tears that were streaming down his cheek, he said, "can I tell her I love her before you take her away"?, the doctor nodded her head and said, "yes but please hurry".
Derek walked over to her bedside and leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips and said, "I love you baby girl, pleaseeeeeee don't give up, please fight to come back to me". The doctor said, "we need to go", he stepped back and watched as they wheeled her out of the room, he followed them as far as he could before he was stopped by the nurses.
One nurse, she was an older nurse she said, "I promise that when they tell us something about Ms. Garcia that I will come and tell you", he said, "I can't lose her, I just can't". The nurse said, "come with me and I'll take you out to your friends", Derek dropped his head and followed the nurse and when they stepped out into the waiting room he saw the rest of his family sitting there waiting of news on their friend.
JJ said, "how's Garcie"?, he shook his head and said, "not good, they just took her for surgery to see how much damage was done", JJ wrapped her arms around him and said, "she's going to be alright". Derek said, "I can't lose her Jayje", she rocked him back and forth and said, "you won't, you won't", he wiped his eyes and said, "when she gets better we're going to get married for real".
Emily smiled and said, "she'll fight with everything she has in her to come back to you", he sighed and said, "I hope so Em", he sat down and laid his head back against the wall and said, "why didn't I tell her how I truly felt before"?, Reid said, "she knows now and that's the important thing". Derek said, "what about Jordan, has anybody found her"?, Emily said, "as a matter of fact she's cooling her heals in jail right now".
Derek smiled and said, "that's where she belongs", Emily said, "she's going to do some serious time to", Derek said, "it won't be enough for everything she's done and everything she could cost me and baby girl". They looked up to see Hotch and Dave walking over, Hotch said, "any news on Garcia"?, Emily said, "she's in surgery right now, other than that there's been no change".
Dave put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "kitten loves you", he looked up at Dave and said, "and I love her", Dave said, "I called your mom and she's on her way". Dave wrapped his arms around Derek and said, "just don't give up on her", he shook his head and said, "I'll never give up, never", he put his head in his hands as he said a silent prayer for his baby girl.
