What Doesn't Kill Us-Ch 23
Derek practically ran into the waiting room and said, "have they told you anything"?, Dave said, "not yet, we are expecting the doctor anytime", he sat down and ran his hand over his head hoping that his baby girl was going to be alright. Hotch looked up to see the doctor walking over, he stood up and they all walked over to see what the doctor was going to say.
The doctor said, "why don't you all follow me into the conference room", she turned around and led them up the hall, Derek shook his head and said to himself,
"this can't be good, this can't be good". As the team followed the doctor into the room she motioned for them to sit down, she laid Penelopes chart down on the table and sat down.
When everybody was sitting Derek said, "how is Penelope"?, the doctor said, "the damage was a lot worse that I first thought", Derek said, "what does that mean exactly"?, the doctor said, "well for starters we had to remove her spleen which in itself isn't that bad". Reid said, "what is the rest of the damage"?, the doctor said, "I saw scarring from a gunshot is that correct"?, Hotch said, "yes she was shot several years ago".
The doctor said, "the knife knicked some of the scar tissue and that was causing her to lose a lot of blood", Derek said, "is she alright"?, the doctor took a deep breath and said, "I won't lie to you, we lost her twice during surgery but we were able to get her back". Reid said, "how long was she deprived of oxygen doctor"?, she said, "the first time 2 minutes and the second time almost 4".
Reid said, "what about other damage to her abdomen"?, she said, "the blade did it's damage that's for sure, it's like he knew where to cut to cause the most damage". Emily said, "is there anything we can do"?, the doctor said, "are any of you the same blood type as Ms. Garcia"?, Reid and Dave in unison said, "I am mam".
Derek wiped a tear away and said, "what are her chances"?, the doctor said, "right now she is on the ventillator to help her breathe", Reid said, "what aren't you telling us"?, the doctor said, "there is a 50/50 chance that she will be able to have children". Derek looked up and said, "that doesn't matter, we can always adopt, the only thing that we need is for baby girl to get better".
The doctor nodded her head in agreement and said, "I agree agent Morgan but she is in for a long road to recovery", Derek said, "but she will recover right"?,
she sighed and said, "right now her chances are about 60/40". JJ said, "when can we see her"?, the doctor said, "right now she's in recovery and she will be there for the next few hours".
Derek said, "I want to stay with her, is that alright"?, she said, "of course, I can have a cot or recliners brought in so you can stay with her", as she stood up she looked at Reid and Dave and said, "if you two will follow me I will take you to the blood bank". Dave put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "I called your mom she'll be here soon".
Derek nodded his head and whispered, "thanks Rossi", JJ walked over and wrapped her arms around Derek and said, "she's going to be alright Derek, she will, she loves you and will do everything she has to do to come back to you". He swallowed hard and said, "I wish I could revive that sick bastard and kill him all over again".
Hotch said, "I need to tell you what Kevin found out while you were out", he looked at Derek and said, "Kevin found where Tamara had called Dantes cell several times since you and Penelope started working undercover". He said, "they were in on this together"?, Hotch said, "yes and he was also able to find where Dante sent a lot of money to an account in the Cayman Islands".
Derek said, "a lot of money, how much is a lot of money"?, he said, "over $100,000.00", Derek slammed his hand on the table and said, "THEY WERE IN ON THIS,
I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT THEY WERE IN ON THIS TOGETHER". JJ said, "I think we should pay a little visit to Tamara", Derek looked at her and said, "just as soon as my baby girl is out of danger I'm going to go see her myself", they all nodded their heads in agreement as they sat down beside their friend.
