Shattered Together-Ch 1

Penelope was sitting in the hospital waiting room holding her best friends hand as they waited on news of his wife, it was like everything was happening in slow
motion as everybody walked around them. Derek looked over at her and said, "it's all my fault baby girl", she shook her head and said, "no it's not, none of this
is your fault".

He gently squeezed her hand and said, "this damn job, this unsub was after me and what did he do, he shot my wife, my wife", she said, "don't worry the team will
catch him and when they do this bastard is toast". He wiped away the tears and said, "I kind of love you Penelope Garcia", she said, "and I kinda love you to Derek
Morgan".

Penelope and Derek were sitting there in silence when her cell started ringing, she looked down and saw that it was Hotch and said, "it's bossman", Derek took her
cell and said, "please tell me you've found the sick son of a bitch"?, Hotch said, "we will Morgan and that's a promise". Derek said, "how about I meet you guys and
we can" and Hotch said, "there is no way that you can work this case".

Derek said, "you can't expect me to just sit here and do nothing", Hotch said, "you're off the case", he stood up and said, "don't do this to me", Penelope watched
brokenheartedly as her best friend paced back and forth trying to talk their boss into letting him helping with the case. Hotch said, "I'm sorry Morgan but you know
that you can't work this case, you are to emotionally involved".

He ran his hand over his head and said, "emotionally involved, hell yeah I'm emotionally involved, my wife and child are fighting for their lives right now", Hotch
said, "exactly and that's why you need to be at the hospital with Penelope". He said, "man I can't just sit here and do nothing", Hotch took a deep breath and said,
"that's exactly what you're going to do" and ended the call.

Penelope said, "he's right, you can't work this case", he said, "I have to baby girl, don't you understand, I have to work this case, I have to make sure that this
freak pays for what he's done". She reached out and put her hand on him and said, "he will pay hotstuff, he will", he shook his head and said, "I can't wait, don't
you understand, I can't wait"?,

She pulled him into her arms and said, "I'm here, I'm right here for you, no matter what you need", he closed his eyes and said, "I know it" as the tears slid down
his cheeks. After a few minutes he pulled away and said, "I'll be back as soon as I can", she said, "you can't go, remember what Hotch said", he said, "I don't care
what Hotch said" and practically ran out of the waiting room.

Penelope pulled out her cell and dialed Hotchs number and after a couple of rings she heard, "any news Garcia"?, she said, "only bad sir, he left", Hotch said, "what
do you mean he left"?, she said, "he's gone bossman, he's just gone". Hotch said, "do you have any idea where he's going"?, she said, "my guess is that he's gone
to the last address that I sent to your cells".

Hotch said, "don't worry we'll find him", she said, "sir he's walking right into a trap", Hotch blew out a deep breath and said, "we'll find him Garcia", she then
looked up to see a doctor walking toward them. She said, "here comes Savananhs doctor", Hotch said, "put it on speaker", she said, "yes sir" and hit the speakerphone
button.

The doctor said, "where is Derek"?, she said, "I'm sorry, he just left but he'll be back soon", she looked up at the doctor and said, "how is Savannah and the baby,
please tell me that they are both alright"?, she looked at Penelope and said, "I wish I could, I truly wish I could". Penelope said, "the baby"?, she weakly smiled
and said, "is going to be fine".

Tears streamed down her cheeks and she said, "no, not Savannah, not now", she nodded her head and said, "I'm so sorry but there was just to much damage done and she
lost to much blood". Penelope dropped in the seat and covered her face with her hands as the tears flowed for the loss of her friend and for the loss that Derek would
and their child would have.
