Unbreak My Heart-ch 30
Penelope and the girls were sitting there talking when Derek, Fran and three people she didn't know came back into the house, Derek walked over to her and pulled her into his arms and kissed her. When they pulled apart she said, "are you alright"?, he nodded his head yes and said, "I am now", Fran hugged her girls and said, "I love you".
Desi said, "momma you are scaring us, what happened"? Derek and Fran then spent the next few minutes filling them in on what had happened and when they were finished Hotch stepped forward and repeated his job offer. Derek smiled and said, "I'm honored that you want me to work for you but", Dave said, "no buts son, we need a man like you working with us".
Penelope intertwined fingers with Derek and said, "I think you should take it handsome, you would definitely be making a difference", he then looked at Hotch and said,
"what do I need to do to get things started"?, all 3 agents smiled as Hotch started filling him in on what he would have to do. When they were finished Fran said,
"would anybody like some coffee"?, the room filled with "yes" causing her to grin as she got up and headed through the house.
Penelope gently squeezed Dereks hand and said, "I could have easily lost you today", he brought her hand to his lips and kissed it and said, "but you didn't, I'm here with you and safe". She laid her head down on his shoulder and said, "I don't know what I would do if anything happened to you", he kissed the top of her head and said, "I'm not going anywhere baby girl" causing her to sigh happily.
Dave got up and headed into the kitchen to help Fran, he said, "here let me get that for you", she smiled and said, "thank you agent Rossi", he looked down at her and grinned and said, "please call me Dave". She nodded her head and said, "I will if you call me Fran", he said, "I will Fran", she laughed and said, "thank you so much Dave" as they walked out of the room.
Penelope couldn't help but notice the spark between Fran and Dave, she inwardly smiled hoping that maybe just maybe the couple might have made a connection, Derek handed her a cup of coffee that took her attention away from them and back to the conversation going on about his new job. A few hours later the agents stood up and headed toward the door.
Derek and Penelope followed them and when Hotch turned around he said, "just come in to the office tomorrow and we'll get your paperwork done and get you everything that you'll need". Derek nodded his head yes in agreement he then saw his mom step outside with Dave, he couldn't help but wonder what they had to talk about whereas all Penelope could do was smile.
When Derek and Hotch were finished with their conversation they shook hands, Emily smiled and said, "it's nice to meet you Penelope", she said, "nice to meet you to Emily, it was nice to meet all of you". Hotch said, "we'll see you tomorrow Derek", he nodded his head and said, "definitely, I'll be there bright and early in the morning.
As they walked by Dave he said, "I'll be right there", the smiled as they walked on by the couple that were happily talking, Penelope took her boyfriend by the hand and then led him inside leaving the couple alone. Derek looked at her and said, "I wonder what they're talking about"?, she smiled and said, "I guess we'll just have to wait and see, that is if she wants to tell us".
He kissed her gently on the lips and said, "have I told you how much I love you"?, she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "I do believe that you might have mentioned it a fewwwwwwwww times but I never tire of hearing it". He pulled her into his arms and kissed her lips passionately and when they pulled apart he said, "I love you Penelope Garcia and for a few minutes I was afraid that I would never see you again".
She sighed and said, "what were you and your mom shopping for any way"?, he pulled a black box out of his pocket and said "this", she then watched as he opened the box and dropped to one knee. She swallowed hard and felt her heart racing as he said, "Penelope Garcia you are the love of my life, the other part of my heart and the best thing that has ever happened to me, would you do me the honor of making mne the happiest man in the world and marry me"?, she smiled and happily squealed, "yesssss, yesss".
Derek took the ring out of the box and slid it onto her finger before crashing his lips against hers in a passionate kiss
