Chapter Sixteen:

Penelope was woken up a short while later by the copilot letting her know that they would be landing shortly. She thanked him and sent Derek a quick text letting him know she was about to land. Readying herself for the landing she slipped her unread book back in her purse, and tried to straighten her and hair and makeup. When the plane finally did land she made her way off, collecting her bags as she went.

"Now you know I'd never let a beautiful Goddess such as yourself carry those." She turned and saw Derek standing there smiling at her.

"Hot Stuff!" She sat her bags down practically ran over to him. He picked her up in his arms and twirled her around.

"Baby Girl! Three weeks was way too long!" Derek said before leaning down and kissing her deeply.

When they finally broke apart he went and collected her bags and led her out to the SUV.

"So are you going to tell me how you managed this Goddess?" Derek asked kissing her hand.

"I'll tell you when we get to the hospital. It's not a big deal I promise. How's Reid?" Penelope asked as they stopped at a red light.

"He's good. When I left to come get you he was eating, and talking to everyone. The surgery was pretty basic." Derek said as he eased off the break and making his way back down the street.

"Good. So how did he get shot?" Penelope asked. This is what she'd been wondering since his call last night.

"Well when we found the Unsub with the information you gave us he was holding another victim. He was holding her in the dining room of the house, there was two entrances into the room so Reid, Emily and I went in the one that he could see us right off the bat, and Hotch Dave and Jayje went in the other. Well Reid tried talking him down, while Hotch J.J. and Dave came in quietly. He noticed Hotch and Jayje quickly, but the angle he was at he couldn't see Dave. Dave having the upper hand noticed he had a shot to take him down, and after confirming with Hotch he took it." Derek said as he pulled into the hospital parking lot and began looking for a spot.

"He killed him? If he killed him how did he shoot Reid?" Penelope asked confused.

"Oh he didn't kill him. He shot him in the back of the leg, and as he was going down he shot Reid." Derek said parking the car.

"How bad does Dave feel?" Penelope asked knowing Dave had to be beating himself up over this.

"Pretty bad. He feels like it's his fault." Derek said as he hopped out and made his way around to Penelope's side of the vehicle to help her out and grab her laptop bags.

"I bet he does. It's not his fault though he needs to understand that." Penelope said handing him her two laptop bags, and climbing out the huge SUV. Before heading inside he pulled her into another breath taking kiss.

"God I've missed being able to do that over the last nineteen days." Derek said resting his forehead against hers.

"Awh Hot Stuff you kept count?" Penelope said smiling wide.

"Yeah I did." Derek said lightly blushing. Penelope kissed him again.

"Come on you, let's go see everyone." Derek said holding her hand and leading her inside. They made their way down the halls and soon saw Hotch outside in the hall on the phone. He smiled when he saw them coming towards him.

"Yes Ma'am I understand that. I'm just asking you to consider it, and get back to me. Well of course I understand that it's not a normal request, but I think under the circumstances you could at least consider it. - Thank you. - Yes she just arrived. I will get with her after she gets settled in and file a formal request. – No Ma'am, I assure you we won't be C. the Director in the request. - Yes Ma'am I will check in later." Hotch finally hung up the phone and turned to them.

"Hello Bossman." Penelope said smiling at him.

"Good to see you Garcia. So what's this about C. the Director?" Hotch asked jumping directly to the point.

"Let's go say hi to everyone and I'll explain." Penelope said quickly moving into the room. Everyone was happy to see her, as she came in. She made her way around the room hugging everyone, careful when she leaned down and hugged Reid.

"You definitely look like you're doing good Boy Genius." Penelope said smiling as she took a seat near him.

"I am. This is definitely not as bad as being tortured." Reid said smiling.

"That's good to hear." Penelope said laughing.

"PG how'd you get Strauss' to agree to you coming out here?" Emily asked the question that was on everyone's minds, getting several nods.

"I simply made a formal request saying I thought I could be of help with filling out the case reports, and filing everything, you know closing the case." Penelope said leaving out the other part.

"And?" Derek said knowing there was more.

"And to make sure there was no way she could say no, I kind of, C.C.'d the director in the request form." Penelope said quickly. Everyone started laughing.

"So that's what she was referring to." Hotch said smiling.

"Good job Kitten." Dave said smiling.

"Baby Girl, you're definitely getting spanked for that one." Derek whispered in her ear causing her to blush.

"So how mad is she?" Penelope asked turning to Hotch.

"She seemed annoyed, but she should be fine." Hotch said taking a seat next to his wife.

They spent the rest of the afternoon just enjoying being together. Penelope had them all in tears from laughing at the story of Henry and Jack and their 'fork'. Everyone briefly took a break from reminiscing to get food when the doctors came in to check on Reid, and have the nurse clean his bandages.

While Emily, Morgan, and Dave went to get the food for everyone, J.J. stayed with Reid, and Penelope was working on Hotch's request that he still hadn't explained. They were sitting in the private waiting area Penelope balancing her laptop in her lap with Hotch standing behind her watching her type.

"Boss man do you think she'll actually approve this?" Penelope asked as she typed away.

"I hope so. With everything that happened on this case I really think we need this. This has been one of our more challenging cases. Reid got shot, and we've been away from home for going on three weeks. The Unsub was spying on us and using the information we collected to thwart our investigation. Plus Strauss has been making us check in with her before we make any move. That really delayed everything. In my honest opinion she would be putting a major strain on the team by not approving it." Hotch said reading everything over her shoulder.

"I could C.C. the director in it, like I did with my request." Penelope said looking up at him.

"No let's give her a chance to do the right thing." Hotch said giving a small smile. He really loved how mischievous she was. He viewed her as the troublesome little sister he'd never thought he wanted, but now was very happy to have.

"And if she doesn't?" Penelope said with a slightly disappointed sigh, looking back to the computer screen.

"Then I'll let you C.C. the director, and maybe even let you repeat what you did when you got us the tablets." Hotch said with a slightly bigger smile.

"REALLY?" Penelope said with an excited smile and even stopped typing this time.

"We'll see. Let's give her a real chance first though." Hotch said chuckling. Once Penelope finished up the request and sent it off they headed back into the room seeing the Doctor had left. It wasn't even five minutes before Dave, Emily and Derek joined them.

"So what did the Doctor say?" Penelope asked as she helped Emily pass out drinks.

"He said Reid should be released on Friday morning. Hopefully with minimal restriction." J.J. said taking the food from Derek and handing it to her husband.

"He said in his opinion I should only need some minimal physical therapy." Reid said trying to open his food container. J.J. looked over and assisted him. He gave her a thankful smile.

"That's great Pretty Boy. I can help you with that if you'd like?" Derek offered as he finished passing out the food.

"Yeah that'd be great." Reid smiled.

"Anything you need please do not hesitate to ask." Dave said sadly.

"Dave it's not your fault. It's Andrew Jones'." Reid said looking at Dave.

"I know, but it doesn't ease the guilt son." Dave said holding his gaze.

"Well that's irrational, and you know how I feel about irrational feelings." Reid said jokingly causing everyone to laugh. Dave actually smiled at that.

"Yes I think we all do." Dave said chuckling.

Finally when everyone was getting ready to make their way back to the hotel for the night Hotch's phone went off.

"Yes ma'am?" Hotch answered. He paused for a few minutes. "Yes Ma'am we can definitely do that." He paused again. "He will be released on Friday." He got a surprised look on his face at her next statement. "Of course, we will get right on that, first thing in the morning, and by Friday we will have everything sent to you." Hotch said giving a small smile. "Yes ma'am, no thank you. I'll speak with you tomorrow." Hotch hung up the phone and looked at the expectant faces of everyone in the room.

"We have to finish all of the paperwork and have it sent to Strauss' Friday morning." Hotch said faking a serious face. Everyone groaned.

"And why did that make you smile?" Emily asked staring at her husband confused.

"Because as soon as we turn it in on Friday morning we will start our three week vacation." Hotch said fully smiling.
"No way?" J.J. asked smiling to Reid, who was smiling back at her.

"Seriously?" Morgan asked.

"Finally!" Emily said with a wide smile.

"Oh thank you God!" Dave said smiling.

"Damn that means no plan B." Penelope said quietly to Hotch who just laughed.

"Okay let's all call it a night and so we can get an early start tomorrow." Hotch said after a mini celebration of their good news.

The drive to the hotel was a rather happy one. Derek held Penelope's hand the whole way, pulling it up to kiss it here and there. When they arrived he got out and went around to open her door and grab her bags from her, even remembering to collect her go bag. Stepping into the elevator he dropped the bags and pulled her to him in a deep kiss. Nineteen days of longing poured into their kiss. The elevator dinging to notify them of it stopping on their floor made them jump. Derek grabbed her bags off the floor and practically dragged her to his room only stopping when they reached his door and he had to open it. When they finally did make it inside and dropped her bags again, more gently this time, and immediately pulled her to him again.

Their kisses were heated and needy. Practically ripping clothes off of each other, they made their way to the bed quickly. Derek found her breasts and started teasing the nipple with his tongue causing a soft moan from Penelope. He chuckled. God how he had missed that sound. Penelope ran her nails down his back causing a pleasing hiss from him. He continued teasing her breasts, paying attention to each one, but this time moved one of hands down to her core and started teasing her there as well.

"Derek…" Penelope groaned.

"Oh no Baby Girl, once I get inside you I know I won't be able to hold back, I want to see you cum for me first." Derek said in his breathy voice, and then lightly bit her earlobe, as he stuck one of his long fingers in her. Penelope subconsciously bucked her hips. Derek leaned down and kissed her and started speeding up his fingers. Penelope moaned into his mouth. He moved to where he was kissing and sucking on her neck, adding another finger, getting a loud moan from her as he sped up his actions. Flicking at her sensitive core with his thumb. She bucked her hips loving how he teased her.

"Derek I'm so close. Ohmygod. I'm almost there." Penelope moaned. Derek continued teasing her for a little bit longer, just loving to watch her come undone. He finally did what he knew one make her loose it and curled his fingers inside her and pressed down with his thumb.

"OHMYGODYES!" Penelope said as she lost it. She was sure the people back in Quantico heard her, but in that moment she could not even care less.

"That's my Baby Girl." Derek said leaning down and kissing her. He moved to where he was in between her legs and in positioned himself at her entrance. He deepened the kiss and thrust inside of her. He lifted her legs up to wear they were on his shoulders and plunged deeper into her. Their moans were incontrollable. Derek was moving into her fast, Penelope was trying to keep up, but was losing herself in the feeling. Derek was trying to last longer so he flipped them and let Penelope ride him. Enjoying her being on top and having more access to her. She slowly bucked her hips teasing him.

"Baby Girl keep teasing me like that and I'm going to spank you." Derek practically growled.

"What makes you think that wasn't my plan Hot Stuff?" Penelope asked as she kept her teasing pace. Derek swatted her ass just enough to sting, and to his pleasant surprise Penelope let out a soft hiss.

"Ooh does my Goddess like that?" Derek asked, and did it again. Penelope sped up her pace a bit. This time Derek lightly ran his nails down her back, not as hard she did him, but enough to get a reaction.

"Derek!" Penelope fully moaned this time and sped up. She rode him fast now, Derek bucking under her to add to the friction. Feeling his orgasm coming on he flipped them over and started pounding into her causing there moans to change to screams of ecstasy. Derek came filling her, pushing her over the edge too. Derek pulled out of her, and flipped them again to where she was laying on his chest.

"That was the most amazing-" Penelope started but was at a loss.

"Ever!" Derek said not even caring if it made sense.

"As much as I loved that can we not ever go nineteen days again?" Penelope asked cuddling up and getting comfortable.

"Never. Even though this was incredible I refuse to go this long without you again." Derek kissed her forehead and jerked the covers up over them. He saw Penelope struggling to keep her eyes open.

"Sleep Baby Girl. We both need it." Derek said kissing her forehead again.

"I love you Hot Stuff." Penelope sleepily mumbled.

"I love you too Baby Girl." Derek said smiling.
