Hanging On The Edge-Ch 6
After a few minutes Hotch pulled Dave aside and said, "I think our best asset is Garcia but here, tonight, the way she is she isn't able to do anything", Dave nodded his head in agreement and said, "I completely agree with you Aaron". Hotch said, "I'll wait till tomorrow and see if she's more clear headed and if she is I'll make sure that she gets a computer so that she can do her thing".
Dave said, "well kitten is the all seeing and all knowing oracle so if anybody can di ti she can", their attention then turned to Penelope as she said, "guys I'm starvingggggg, can we have some pizza?", JJ said, "are you sure that you can handle pizza right now Garcia?", she grinned and said, "ohhhh yes mam I can, so pleaseeeeee, pleaseeeeee, please can we have pizza:, Hotch said ,"sure Garcia, we can have pizza".
She grinned and clapped her hands and said, "yayyyyy, thank you bossman", he smiled at her and said, "no problem Garia", JJ and Emily looked at Hotch and said, "we'll go get her some clothes because she's gonna need something to wear home from the hospital tomorrow, well if she's released that is". Reid said, "Ill go with you", Emily said, "if you go with us, who's gonna stay with PG?", Derek held up his hand and said, "I'll stay with her, well that is if it's okay with you and with her of course".
Dave looked at Penelope and said, "what about it kitten, is it alright if Derek stays here with you for a little while?", she said, "sureeeeeee, I'd love to spend some time alone with hotstuff here" causing Derek to grin. He brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "the feeling is mutual sweetness" causing eveyrbody to nod their heads in agreement as they headed toward the door.
Once they were alone Penelope said, "thanks again for saving me Derek", he said, "you're very welcome Penelope, I'm just glad that I was there when you needed me", she sighed and said ,"soooooooo tell me a little about yourself". He grinned and said, "alright then" and started filling her in on everything he could about himself and when he was done she filled him in on what she could which wasn't much considering her high state from the pain killers but it was enough to let Derek know some about herself.
It wasn't long before JJ, Reid and Emily made their way back with her clothes and a few minutes after them was Hotch and Dave with the pizza, Derek stood up and said, "well I'll be going, you enjoy your food". As he stood up Penelope grabbed him by the hand and said, "please stay and eat with us sugar shack", he said, "are you sure?", she said, "100%, absolutely, after all you saved me so please stay and eat with us, pleaseeeeee?:, he smiled and said, "okay Ill stay, I'll stay" causing Penelope to grin and clap her hands as everybody then pulled up a seat and started eating pizza.
Penelope couldn't keep from looking at Derek, he was without a doubt the sexiest thing she had ever seen and being tipsy from the pain meds was taking away her filter and she was pretty much saying whatever came into her mind. When they were finished eating a little while later Derek stood up and said, "well it's late so I'll head out and let you guys spend some time with sweetness" causing Penelope to stick her bottom lip out and start pouting.
Derek leaned down and caressed her cheek and said, "don't worry gorgeous you'll see me again", she smiled and said, "you promise?, he brought her hand to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "I promise", she sighed happily and then laid her head down on the pillows. Derek then walked over and stood talking to the men of the team, he asked to be kept updated if that was possible and at the same time he offered to keep them informed if he had any more rescues like Penelopes.
Before walking out into the hall Derek turned to take a peak at Penelope and smiled when he saw that she was finally peacefully sleeping, he knew that with concussion protocol that she would have to be woke up every hour to hour and a half so he smiled and whispered, "good night baby girl, I'll see you soon". The team then watched as he smiled at them and then stepped out of the door and headed up the hall toward the elevators leaving behind a very impressed BAU team behind.
