When the ambulance got there Morgan was forced out of Garcia's room. He had watched from a window until the Doctor had instructed one of the nurses to close the blinds so he wouldn't be able to see. That was over two hours ago. When his team had arrived shortly after him they moved him to the waiting room. He was going insane, constantly pacing back and forth.
"Morgan relax. PG's strong, she is going to be fine." Emily said trying to sooth him.
Sandra stood up and placed a hand on his shoulder. "They won't let me in the room because I know her, but let me see if one of my friends can get something, okay?"
He nodded at her as she walked away. Rossi came back from being on the phone and walked over to Hotch. "It's taken care of. He has a meeting with the Director tomorrow morning."
"Thanks Rossi,"
"Have we heard anything?"
"No not yet. Sandra just left to go find someone."
About ten minutes later Sandra and a Doctor made their way over to the group.
"Penelope Garcia?" The Doctor called out.
Morgan moved right in front of them "That's me. Is she okay?"
"Your relationship to her?"
"I'm her fiancee, and the father of her baby."
The Doctor nodded. "Ms. Garcia is stable now. She hadn't taken her medication in three days, that combined with not eating or drinking in over 24 hours caused her to pass out. It took a while to get he stable but she'll be fine. We have an IV in her giving her the proper nutrients she needs. With her age the pregnancy is consider high risk. You'll need to make sure she eats at least 3 meals a day and takes her proscribed medication. From what Sandra was telling me, she was taken and that's the reason for the lack of food and water."
Morgans nodded "The baby?"
"The baby was in distress when we she first came in. At one point we were not able to get his heart rate down. After some mild sedation we were able to calm her and the baby. She is a little groggy still but you can see her. Only one visitor at a time right now."
"Can you take me to her?" He looked back at the group. Hotch nodded in agreement. He wasn't going to deny Morgan from seeing her.
He followed the doctor to the room. "Ms. Garcia I have someone here who wants to see you. Your fiancee has been driving the staff crazy." Morgan walked into the room while Garcia had her eyebrow up in confusion.
"I'll leave you two to talk" the doctor turned on his heel and left.
"Fiancee?" Garcia said looking at Morgan.
"Yeah fiancee." He pulled the chair up to the side of the bed and grabbed her hand. ''I was so worried Baby Girl. When I saw you start to go down my world stopped. Don't ever do that to me again."
"Sure, let me try to not pass out on you again." she said sarcastically. She was confused, her head hurt and Morgan wasn't her fiancee. This was too much to take in. She closed her eyes hoping this was all a dream.
"Penelope, look at me please we need to talk." Derek pleaded with her. She didn't open her eyes because if she did she would be looking into the eyes of the man she loved. The pain that he caused her was too much for too many years.
"Where's Mark?" She said with her eyes still closed.
Derek had had enough. He got out of the chair and sat next to her on the bed. "Penelope, I know I hurt you. I know I broke you, but you are the love of my life. You only get that once and you're it for me. I know Mark is a great guy and he hasn't done anything wrong to you for me to hate him but I do. I hate him because he has some part of your heart. A part that I used to hold. I love you Penelope, I love our son." he took her hand "I want to grow old with you, I want to experience life with you, I want to get into fights just so we can make up. I love you Penelope, like in the hold a radio over my head outside your window kind of way. Pick me. Choose me. Love me."
She opened her eyes "Did you just quote Grey's Anatomy at me?"
He laughed, "Yeah, I did. You walked around for two weeks repeating it ever chance you got. I never forgot it. " He put his hand on her belly "Pick us Penelope. Pick our family, I promise I will prove to you everyday that you made the right choice."
She let the tears fall, "It's always been you, Derek. I never stopped loving you. When I found out I was pregnant I was so upset at first but then I realized even if you didn't want me I would always have a part of you."
He took her face in his hands, "I do want you, I have never wanted a person more than I want you Penelope. I'm in love with you. I don't care what happens for the rest of your lives as long as I'm with you. I'll go wherever you go as long as you say you'll have me?" He looked her in the eyes hoping she would be able to see his sincerity.
"I'll always have you Derek. You're my whole world other than this guy here." She placed her hand on her belly, she smiled when she felt the baby kick. She took Derek's hand and placed it over the movement. He looked at her with tears in his eyes. When they were together the other night he was to caught up in what he was doing to notice if there were any movements from the baby. He grabbed the end of the sheet and looked at Penelope silently asking for permission. She nodded so he moved the sheet down and lifted her gown. He kissed her belly and rubbed circles with his hand. He looked back up at Penelope and forcefully grabbed her face and brought her into a passionate kiss. "I love you Baby Girl. Thank you for giving me my son."
She pulled back from the kiss. "I won't just give you our son, Derek. I'll give you all of me; my heart my soul, my body. Please don't break me again." She said a little timid.
"I'll never hurt you again, Penelope. I love you so much." he smiled pulling the sheet back up to cover her. "I can't promise we wont get into fights but that just means we'll get to make up. I love you Baby Girl and I will spend everyday of my life proving it to you."
There was a knock at the door. Randall stood there with a smile on his face. "The Doctor said the rest of us could come and see you, but I wanted to make sure you were okay with that."
"Oh Randall, What would I have done without you? You were my everything when I was so lost." She took his hand when he walked over to the bed.
"I know Sweet Thing. How are you feeling? Hows the monkey?"
She looked at Derek. "For the first time I think I can say I am 100% okay." Randall nodded and kissed her check. "I guess we don't need that plan anymore do we Morgan?"
"Nah, I got her back all by myself." He said looking back at Randall. Penelope raised her eyebrow. "What plan?"
"I was in the process of recruiting everyone on the team to help me prove to you I was in love with you. After some convincing Randall here was going to help."
"Really Randall was going to help you? Huh, I'm just surprised he never hit you." Randall burst out laughing. "I did hit him, that first day. "
Her eyes grew wide. "Randall David McAlister. What did I tell you about violence?"
He shrugged "Only use it when necessary?" She rolled her eyes and looked at Derek "You didn't hit him back did you?"
"No but I hit Mark."
"What is wrong with you two?"
Randall threw his hands up in surrender "Hey I was defending your honor." He pointed at Morgan "He was just jealous."
Derek looked at Penelope. "It's true, I saw a text he sent you and I lost it." He took her chin with his hand. "Sweetheart I never want you to think I'm only here because of the baby. The baby just makes everything ten times better."
There was another knock on door. Rossi stood there leaning on the frame "We were starting to get worried so we decided to just chance it and come in."
"I'm sorry everyone, for everything."
"Kitten, you have no reason to be sorry. The only one that needs to be sorry is Mikey, and trust me he will be sorry."
Mark walked to the side of her bed bent down and kissed her cheek. Everyone in the room could hear the growl that came from Morgan. Mark looked over at him "Don't worry, I get it now." He turned back to Penelope. "You are a special woman, you made me believe in love again and for that I thank you, but Randall was right, your heart belongs to him. No matter what I would do or say, you will always belong to him. Just know that i'll kick his ass if he ever makes you feel unworthy of love again okay?"
"I'm so sorry Mark." Mark took his chance and kissed her on the lips. Morgan shot up ready to pummel the man when Hotch blocked him.
Mark pulled away, "I couldn't live my life without knowing how that felt." he looked back at Morgan "Take care of her, she's one of a kind." Morgan relaxed but only a little. "Just keep your lips off of my wife."
"Your wife?" Prentiss said.
Derek looked at the room then Penelope "Yeah, if she'll say yes." He walked over to her and sat on the bed. "I have always loved you, I tried to fight it and push you away but I couldn't. We were made for each other, you and I always. I know I don't have the ring right now; but I have it. Its in my dresser at home, I bought it the week you left." He took her hand "Say you'll marry me Baby Girl? Make me the happiest person on earth and become my wife?
She had tears in her eyes as she nodded her head "Yes, a million times yes!"
The whole room erupted in cheers as the couple embraced.
"Looks like I made it just in time." everyone turned to see Mikey standing outside of the room. All the men made the move to kill him but Rossi stood in the way. "I've got this gentlemen." He grabbed Mikey by the collar and escorted him out of the room.
Rossi pushed Mikey into the nearest wall. "What is wrong with you? The second you found out she was pregnant you should have backed off."
"Relax Rossi, she's fine and we got the groups plans, all is well that ends well." Rossi pushed him harder into the wall.
"All is well that ends well? she passed out Mikey! She wasn't able to eat or drink and didn't have her meds. She is fine now yes but she wasn't 3 hours ago."
"Yeah but she's fine now. No harm no foul"
"I'm going to kill you! I've already made a call to the Director. He wants to see you in his office first thing tomorrow morning."
"You did what? What's your problem old man?"
"My problem? You're my problem, you took my daughter away from me twice. I should kill you where you stand."
Hotch had stayed back long enough watching the interaction "Its not worth it Rossi the Director is already aware of the situation. Let him go and come sit with your daughter."
Rossi looked back at Mikey one more time. "Fine, lets go." He went to move away but in one swift motion turned and punched Mikey in the face. Without even looking back he made his way to the room. Reid was talking to Penelope about some convention he wanted to go to and how they could bring the baby and dress him up too. Morgan was shaking his head no when Penelope looked up at Rossi holding his hand. "You didn't?"
"I don't know what you're talking about Kitten."
"David Rossi! You know better." she moved to sit up on the bed more to address everyone in the room. "Hey guys can you leave us for a few minutes I need to talk to Dave?"
"Sure" was said all around the room. Sandra walked up the her and kissed her on the cheek. "If you need me call my floor okay?" Everyone left the room but Rossi and Morgan. "You can go baby, it's okay."
"I don't want to leave you." he said pleading with her.
"Just wait right outside okay? I'll call you back in a minute." He reluctantly let go of her hand and walked outside the door.
"Dave, you didn't have to hit him. He's not worth it."
"You're wrong sweetie, you're worth it and it felt damn good too. I have wanted to hit him for years." He sat on the edge of her bed. "I missed you, Penelope. Please don't leave again."
"I had no choice but to go with him. He said if I didn't he'd send me to prison, he can you know, he's my handler. I have to do everything he wants."
"Not anymore, I made a call to the Director. Meet your new handler." he said pointing at himself "I take full responsibility of you now and as your handler you're coming back to Virginia with us. You belong with your family; New York has treated you well but you belong with us."
She had tears running down her face. "I can't leave my home here, I have no where to go. They gave away my apartment."
Derek walked in "Really? That's your argument? You know damn well you'll be moving in with me Baby Girl."
She smiled at him "Were you listing the whole time?"
"What do you expect? You said to wait right outside the door." He moved to the other side of her bed. "We can get you moved into my place but if you don't like it we can buy a house somewhere with a huge back yard with room for lots of kids." He kissed her lips.
Rossi looked at at the couple and smiled. "I'm going to get the nurse to see when we can get you out of here."
