Chapter Twenty Two:
"Well Mrs. Reid, you're pregnant. Your hormone levels indicate your still early on. Maybe five to six weeks along." Doctor Kruse said looking back and forth between her and the chart that was in her hands.
"I'm sorry, I'm what?" J.J. asked confused.
"I'm sorry Mrs. Reid, is this unplanned? I can refer you to a few clinics if this isn't something you would like to continue. It's still early on-" Doctor Kruse was cut off.
"No! I was just surprised. I wouldn't ever-" J.J. couldn't continue. She couldn't believe that he'd ever suggest that.
"Doctor can we have a moment please?" Reid asked rather sharply.
"Of course. I'll go see if a can find a nurse to perform a sonogram for you." Doctor Kruse said before walking out.
"Want us to give you some space Pretty Boy?" Derek asked once the door was shut behind the doctor.
"No you can stay. He was just irritating me with his insinuations." Reid said looking to his wife for confirmation. She only nodded in agreement.
"Are you okay?" Reid asked wrapping his good arm around his wife.
"Yeah I was surprised, and then when he said how far along I was I was trying to figure it up in my head." J.J. said explaining her thought process.
"Alaska." Reid said with a smile.
"That's what I thought too. I'm just really worried because I've been drinking." J.J. said biting her bottom lip. The worry was clear on her face.
"I know, but well figure it all out." Reid said running his fingers through her hair reassuringly.
"Jayje the same thing happened with me when I was pregnant with Jack. I was so sure I had messed everything up. It's still early on, the important thing is you found out now, and you know not to drink anymore." Emily said leaning over to hold her hand.
"Thanks Em." J.J. said with a small sigh
A nurse knocked on the door while opening, pushing a cart with a sonogram machine on it.
"Hello Mrs. Reid, my name is Marcella, I'm here to check on your little one." Marcella said as she walked into the room, a friendly smile on her face.
"Nice to meet you ma'am. Please call me Jennifer." J.J. said with a smile.
"It's nice to meet you ma'am. You've got quite the crowd here." Marcella joked as she set up the machine.
"Yeah we were having a wedding." J.J. said nodding to Penelope and Derek.
"Well Congratulations you two." Marcella said smiling at them. Derek and Penelope thanked her in return. "Now Mommy I'm afraid I'm going to have to kick the wedding party out for this next part, if that's okay?" Marcella asked turning towards her.
"My husband can stay right?" J.J. asked holding Reid's hand.
"Of course, and I'll let the others in as soon as were finished." She said turning the sonogram machine on.
"We'll be right outside if you need anything Gum Drop." Penelope said standing up and squeezing her hand reassuringly before heading towards the door. Everyone quickly followed suit and made their way out of the room, offering reassurance as they walked past. They walked the short distance to the waiting room taking seats. Penelope had her head resting on Derek's shoulder, while Emily and Hotch were sitting across from them.
"I'm so happy for them." Penelope said after a few minutes of silence.
"I know. Me too. Once the shock wears off, and the doctor tells her the baby is fine they'll be excited too." Emily said trying to get comfortable in her chair too.
"Oh I know. It's a good thing they found out now. It's still early in the pregnancy." Penelope said with a slight yawn.
"Right. Now I'm really glad that she didn't get a tattoo with us last night." Emily said casually.
"I didn't even think of that. I'm so glad she didn't. I would feel horrible right now." Penelope said without even thinking about what they were talking about.
"So would I." Emily said shaking her head at the thought.
"Tattoo?" Derek asked with a raised eye brow.
"Oops." Emily said with an apologetic look towards Penelope.
"Uh yeah." Penelope said with a small smile.
"Where did you get a tattoo Baby Girl?" Derek asked tilting his head back to look at her back and shoulders.
"Somewhere?" Penelope said smiling, causing Emily to laugh, and Hotch to chuckle.
"You can all go back in now." Marcella said walking past them.
"Thank you!" Penelope said as she got up.
"This is so not even close to over Baby Girl." Derek said kissing her forehead. They all hurried down the hall way back to J.J.'s room. Penelope and Emily were practically sprinting, with Derek and Hotch following them.
"So how is our soon to be niece or nephew?" Penelope asked once they were all in the room. J.J. was in her wedding clothes again, and was sitting up cuddled with Reid, careful to avoid his bad arm.
"He or she is perfect." J.J. said with a big smile.
"And as a strong heartbeat of 108 beats per minute." Reid said with a proud smile.
"Aww." Emily and Penelope both said. Everyone congratulated the happy couple, after the nurse returned with her discharge paperwork they were finally able to make their way home.
Once back home, and Dave and Fran had been filled in, and congratulations were given they all decided to call it a night. Penelope was walking to the stairs when Derek stopped her.
"And where do you think you're going Mrs. Morgan?" Derek asked pulling her into his arms.
"To our bed Mr. Morgan?" Penelope asked confused.
"Oh no Goddess, we will not be staying here tonight." Derek said wrapping her in his embrace.
"Is that so Sexy Hubby of mine?" Penelope said giggling as Derek had started kissing her neck.
"Yes Ma'am. Mama packed up our bags and now all we have to do is make our escape." Derek said guiding her to the door way.
"And where might we be going?" Penelope asked turning so he could open the closet door and get their bags.
"That my beautiful Wife is a surprise." Derek said kissing her again.
"Awh come on Hot Stuff?" Penelope asked with a pout as they walked out to the car.
"No ma'am." Derek said as he loaded their bags, and climbed in.
The drive wasn't long at all. Penelope had eventually giving up asking and was enjoying the surprise her new husband had planned for their wedding night.
"So tell me about this tattoo?" Derek asked with a smile.
"You'll see Chocolate Drop." Penelope said with a smile.
"Is that so?" Derek asked kissing her hand.
"Yep." Penelope said giving him a mischievous smile.
Soon they had arrived. Penelope was speechless. The hotel was beautiful. They approached the receptionist desk to check them in.
"Derek this place is gorgeous!" Penelope said looking around.
"Only the best for my beautiful wife." Derek said with a smile before turning to the receptionist. "Reservation for Morgan."
"Yes sir." She said and then turned to check the computer. "Yes sir. We have your reservation here. Let me find you a bell hop to carry your luggage." She said handing him a key card and then walked to the back.
"So now that were here do I get a hint about this tattoo you got?" Derek asked turning and kissing her lightly on the lips.
"No sir, but if you're a good boy I'll let you see it later." Penelope said with a wink.
"Oh you are so going to get it when we get upstairs Miss Thang." Derek said giving her a chaste kiss.
"Promises, promises." Penelope said before leaning in and giving him a slightly more intense kiss. They heard the receptionist clearing her throat and broke apart. Penelope hid her face in Derek's shoulder, she was blushing a bright red.
"Sorry to interrupt, but the bell boy is here to show you to your room." She said with a shy smile.
"Sorry. Thank you." Derek said nodding to her. The bell boy took their luggage and showed them to the elevator. The ride was quick, it soon came to a stop on the ninth floor. As they stepped out of the elevator Derek pulled Penelope into his arms and picked her up bridal style.
"Derek James Morgan what are you doing?" Penelope asked, her voice full of laughter.
"Carrying my bride across the threshold of course." Derek said walking down the hallway, causing the bellboy to follow laughing.
"You're supposed to do that when we get home handsome, not here." Penelope said trying to catch her breath from laughing so hard.
"Well you know I thought I'd get a head start Baby Girl." Derek said pausing in the hallway to kiss her deeply.
"Someone's getting impatient." Penelope said when he broke the kiss.
"You're right I am." Derek said winking before practically sprinting down the hallway to their door now. Penelope and the bellboy's laughter was uncontrollable now.
They stopped in front of their door, and the bellboy took the key card from Derek unlocking their door. He walked in first and set their bags down, allowing them to fully enter the room. Derek still carrying Penelope.
"Welcome to the honeymoon sweet Mister and Missus, and congratulations." He said before setting the key down on the desk. He quickly made his way out, careful to lock the door and put the do not disturb sign on the outside of the door.
"Welcome to our honeymoon Mrs. Morgan." Derek said carrying her over to the bed, and kissing her.
Back home in Quantico VA. :
Savannah had, had it. Derek had been gone for weeks. Almost a month now. No case could take that long. She knew he had to be avoiding him. Maybe he was still made about their fight. She had even risked it and went over to his mom's house. She wasn't there either. What was going on? Where were they? He wouldn't leave without telling her would he? He couldn't be that made could he? No. He loved her. He wanted to marry her. No. Something simple probably came up. Maybe he had a family emergency. Yeah that was probably it. She needed to get out. Just for a few minutes. She hadn't left the hotel other than to go sit in her car and wait since she'd checked in.
"I know I'll go to the bar. Have a few drinks to calm my nerves and then come back. Even if he gets in tonight, he'll probably go straight home. It's already so late." Savannah quickly got ready, and headed out to her car. She gave the BAU building one last glance before heading to the closest bar.
Savannah ordered a drink and sat at the bar, not really paying attention to anyone. A man came up to give a drink order to the bar tender and gave her a once over.
"Hello there pretty thing." The man said resting his hand on the back of her chair. Savannah looked up and looked at him. She quickly noticed he resembled Derek. He was tall, and muscular. Very handsome.
"Hello there." Savannah said giving him a smile.
The man, who Savannah quickly learned was named Michael, was very obviously interested in her. Savannah was flirting back. It felt nice after not hearing or seeing Derek in a long time. After flirting back and forth and dancing for a bit Michael's phone went off. He excused himself to take the phone call, and Savannah decided to take that opportunity to go to the restroom. On her way there she overheard him on the phone.
"No Baby I'll be home soon. Work's just been crazy today. No I promise once I get home I'll make it up to you, all night long." She heard him saying into the phone. Hearing this Savannah snapped. She quickly used the restroom and made her way back to the table. Barely beating him there.
"Sorry about that Babydoll. So where were we?" Michael said as he sat down.
"Why don't we take this somewhere more private?" Savannah asked him in a breathy voice.
"I like the way you think." Michael said kissing her hand.
Savannah got up and led him out into the alley by the bar.
"Right here?" Michael asked when she pushed him up against the wall.
"Yeah here. Now." Savannah said kissing him hungrily. He was groping her all over. She was playing along for now. She heard him lowering his zipper.
"Shit I don't have any rubbers. Do you have one?" He asked in a frustrated voice.
"Yeah I got you baby." Savannah said smiling. This was going exactly how she planned. She leaned down and reached for her purse. She saw him out of the corned of her eye pulling his pants and getting ready. She quickly pulled the gun out of her purse and held it on him.
"What the hell?" He asked looking at her surprised.
"You think I wouldn't find out? Huh? You're just like every other guy. A cheater." Savannah said angrily. She pulled the trigger once, twice, and a third time.
