Derek Or Luke-Ch 28
Derek leaned forward in his seat and said, "what about Hank"?, she wiped away the tears that were streaming down her cheek and said, "it's his appendix, they're doing surgery on him right now". He ran his hand over his head and said, "what happened, he was fine"?, she said, "I don't know, last night and today he wouldn't eat and all he wanted to do was sit humped up in my lap".
Derek listened as she said, "he got sick and jumped down from my lap and ran through to the bathroom and I was right behind him and after he threw up I picked him up and he felt warm so I brought him here to the ER to get checked out". He said, "and they're sure it's his appendix"?, she said, "yes and they said that they would let me know something as soon as they could".
Penelope said, "I'm so sorry handsome", he said, "whoa, whoa baby girl this isn't your fault", she said, "I should have been paying more attention to him, I should have", Derek said, "you did the right thing in getting him to the ER". She said, "but", he said, "no buts, he's alive because you got him to the hospital", she said, "I just wish I'd done it sooner".
Derek said, "how are you holding up"?, she said, "not good and Savannah didn't help things", he said, "what do you mean Savannah, she's there now"?, she said, "no she left but a friend of hers was working tonight and when I brought Hank in she called her". Derek said, "and I bet she was there playing the loving mother to wasn't she"?, Penelope said, "she tried but your mom put her in her place", causing Derek to smile.
Penelope said, "you said that you were getting ready to call me does that mean that you are on your way home"?, he said, "it does, we lifted off a few minutes ago and we should be home in a few hours". She said, "just make it back safe my love", he said, "I will goddess, I will", he took a deep breath and said, "I love you", she said, "I love you to" and it was only a matter of seconds before the call ended.
Reid said, "Hanks a fighter like his daddy, he's going to be fine", Derek said, "I hope so pretty boy, I hope so", Luke said, "I'm sorry to hear about your son". Derek said, "thanks man", Luke nodded his head and said, "is he in surgery"?, Derek said, "he is and they told baby girl that the surgery would take a few hours so their is the possibility that I'll get there before he gets out of surgery".
Dave walked over and sat down and said, "kitten and Fran are nervous wrecks", JJ said, "I don't doubt it", Emily said, "I don't know what I'd do if that were Jack". Hotch put his hand on hers and said, "me either Em", he then looked at Derek and said, "I can't imagine what you're going through Morgan", Derek looked up at his friend and said, "and I hope you never do Hotch".
A few hours later the jet landed and the team rushed to the hospital, when Derek saw his mom and Penelope at the end of the hall he ran to them and threw his arms around them. When Dave made it to his wifes side she released Derek and wrapped her arms around his waist and completely broke down.
Luke stood back watching as Derek wrapped his arms tightly around Penelope before kissing her gently on the lips and whispering, "I love you baby girl", the answer to the question would it be Derek or Luke was answered when he heard her say, "I love you to Derek" before laying her head on his shoulder as they held each other.
Luke looked at the two and smiled knowing that Derek and Penelope were meant to be, he sighed and then turned around and followed the rest of the team to the chapel to pray for Hank. Before turning around the corner he glanced back and saw Derek place another kiss on Penelopes lips and said, "I guess the best man won" before quickly making his way up the hall to catch up to the rest of the team.
