Penelope stormed out of the BAU elevator with her arms loaded with gifts and decorations for the annual BAU Christmas party. Not to mention she had on 5 inch red stilettos and a Santa hat that keep dropping below her eyes.
Derek Morgan looked up from his desk just in enough time to see one of Penelope's feet come out from under her.
Derek tried to grab her in time but he was a little too late. Penelope hit her head on the floor with a thud.
Penelope tried to focus her eyes but everything went black.
Derek in a panicked state said, "Baby girl, wake up for me."
Derek yelled for JJ and Hotch who were in their offices.
Upon hearing the shouts they both rushed down the stairs to the bullpen.
Hotch barked, "Someone get me a medic now."
Derek breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed Penelope say in a groan, "Ouch what the hell just happened?"
Derek whispered, "Angel baby you fell and hit your head."
Penelope mumbled, "That's just great."
Derek asked her, "Why didn't you call me to come down, I would have helped you carry this stuff up."
Penelope whinced in pain and said, "I know but Kevin was there and…."
In an accusatory tone Hotch asked, "Penelope he didn't try and help you?"
Penelope grumbled out, "He wanted to its just that he stayed up late playing video games, and Ouch Derek my head really hurts."
The EMTs rushed out of the elevators and started looking Penelope over.
JJ said, "I'll call Kevin, and let him know what happened."
JJ also mumbled under her breath, "Next time I see him I am going to slap him. What kind of idiot lets his girlfriend carry all that stuff by herself?"
Hotch placed a hand on Derek's back and said, "Do you mind going to the hospital with her. We aren't sure if Kevin had to go on location with Team B or not, and frankly I don't want to see his face. Video game injury my ass."
Derek replied, "Hotch you know I will stay with her. I don't even want to think about Kevin right now. Let's just get her better."
The EMTs asked Penelope a few questions, and they looked her over.
"Guys really I don't need to go to the hospital. Penelope tried to stand up and fell back into Derek's arms."
Penelope sighed and said, "Okay I guess I will go."
Derek said, I'm coming with you."
Penelope softly said, "Derek you don't-"
"Yes I do. Baby girl just lay down on the stretcher so we can go please."
Penelope defeated said, "Oh alright."
At the hospital
Penelope was wheeled into an examination room. She was told to get undressed and lay down.
"Derek can you help me get my dress unzipped? Ugh my back really hurts."
"Sure. You want me to see if they can give you something for the pain."
"No angel fish that is okay. You being here is enough for me."
Derek smiled and said." I miss you."
"I miss you too. Now turn around so I can get this stupid gown on."
"I'm turning around now."
After a few moments, and the sound of rustling fabric, Penelope got the hideous hospital gown on.
She laid down like the doctor instructed, okay you can turn around again."
"How do you feel baby girl?"
Penelope groaned and said, "Everything hurts. Plus I am a little ticked off at Kevin."
"You should be, asshole should have helped you."
"I told you he hurt his wrists."
"Yeah he hurt them playing video games." Derek rolled his eyes.
Penelope sighed, "I knew I should have called you but, Kevin and I have been fighting so I didn't want to add any fuel to the flames."
"Sweetheart what have you two been arguing about?"
"Everything, my late hours at work, the fact that I call you guys my family, me spending time with you, hell he even hates Esther."
Derek defensivly said, "No one hates Esther."
"That's what I said. He told me I needed something small and cute."
Derek rolled his eyes again and said, "Baby girl I love you and your big ass Cadillac."
The doctor came in and asked for Derek to step out. The doctor examined Penelope, and decided she needed some x rays to make sure nothing was broken. For the pain the doctor started a Morphine drip through an iv.
The doctor let Derek know what was going on, and told Derek he could go back in with his girlfriend.
Derek didn't correct the doctor. He smiled at the thought, shook his head and went in the room to be with his best friend.
Derek smiled a small smile and said, "How are you feeling now?"
"A little better I think the Morphine is kicking in a. Penelope let out a wild giggle.
Derek chuckled and said, "Yeah mama I should say so."
"Derek I missed you, this, us. If it took me getting hurt then so be it."
Derek sighed and said, "I just thought I should give you space."
Penelope crinkled her nose and asked, "Why?"
Derek sighed again and said, "Because Kevin asked me to. He wanted your relationship to have a chance."
"Derek why didn't you tell me, and let me make up my own mind up?"
"I thought he was right. But he wasn't."
Just then there was a knock on the door. Hotch walked in and gave Penelope a half smile and asked, "How are you feeling Garcia?"
Penelope thought about it. Since the Morphine drip she was feeling pretty damn good.
"Boss man, I feel pretty good." Penelope pointed to the iv and laughed.
Derek chuckled, "Yeah soon she will be out of it."
Penelope groaned and said, "God I hope so."
Next there was another knock on the door. JJ opened the door, and came in.
"Hey Garcie how you feeling.?"
"I'm good." Penelope's head started to swim a little.
She tried to keep a grasp on reality but slowly she was losing.
Rossi and Reid who where late to work found out that Penelope was hurt. They left the BAU and headed for the hospital.
Once they got there, the nurse told them that Ms. Garcia had too many visitors. After a few moments of Dave grumbling and complaining, two badges flashed in her face, and the fact that Reid started spouting off mortality facts, she agreed to let the agents go back.
Reid stopped by the gift shop and got Garcia flowers, and Rossi got her a teddy bear, that was soft, fluffy and white, with a big heart in the middle.
Rossi knocked on the door and both agents made their way in.
Reid cleared his throat and asked, "So Garcia how do you feel.
Penelope beamed and said, "Junior G-man I feel gooooooooooooooooooood."
Everyone in the room laughed.
"Here kitten." Dave gave Penelope the bear.
"Awww Godfather he is soooooooo cuuuute."
"I figured you would like him. Reid gave Garcia her flowers, and she had the same reaction.
The doctor knocked on the door, and came in. He asked the agents to step out of the room.
Penelope grabbed the doctor's hand and asked if Derek could stay.
The doctor smiled and said sure. The doctor knew that it was better to, in reason let a patient high out of their mind get what they want.
"Baby girl I am here. What do you need?"
"Will you hold my hand?" Penelope giggled and said, "Hey isn't that a song?" Penelope started singing .
Derek and the doctor let out a small laugh.
The doctor tried to explain to Penelope about the x rays, but by then she was too far gone.
Penelope asked, "Hey what if I turn into an X-man while you give me the x-rays? How cool would that be?"
Derek leaned over and whispered, "Very cool. Now promise me you will behave while you get your x ray
Penelope slurred, "Or what you will spank me?"
Derek blanched, and said, "Woman now is not the time or the place."
Penelope giggled and said, "Yes it is. I am in a gown that doesn't have a whatcha call it."
The doctor said, "A back."
"See so there." Penelope stuck her tongue out at Derek.
Derek smiled and said, "Woman don't tease me."
Penelope teased back, "You know you like it."
"Penelope maybe so but there isn't a damn thing I can do about it. So calm down."
Penelope pouted and said, "You, SSA Derek Morgan are no fun."
Derek cocked one eyebrow and said, "Trust me I am plenty of fun."
The doctor rolled his eyes and said, "On that note I will be back in twenty to take Miss. Garcia upstairs."
Derek shook the doctor's hand and said, "Thanks Doc."
"What's up Doc." Penelope broke out in a fit of giggles.
Derek had to laugh at that too. His normally silly girl, was being extra silly.
About twenty minutes later a nurse came back to wheel Penelope upstairs. What the nurse saw made her smile. Penelope and Derek were sitting side by side laughing their asses off. The doctor liked the couple, and she noticed that Derek took good care of her.
The doctor told Derek he could come upstairs but not in the x ray room. Penelope whined about it, but Derek told her she would only be there for a few minutes.
Once Penelope was inside the examination room, Derek pulled out his phone and texted the rest of the team on how she was doing. He left the part out that she had gone completely bananas.
One of the technicians came out into the hallway. His voice boomed, "Is there a Derek Morgan here?"
Derek walked over to the tech. He had lines of worry etched on his face.
Derek with concern asked, "Yeah what's going on?"
"She won't stop crying unless she can see you. We have observation glass that you can stand behind. She can see you so maybe that will work."
Derek walked into the room and behind the glass. Immediately Penelope cheered up. She waved at Derek. Then she stayed still like the technicians asked her to. The technician behind the glass looked at Derek, and said, "Man your girlfriend really loves you."
Derek smiled and said, "How can you tell?"
She only said it about 100 times before she started crying.
Derek's smile got even wider and he said, "I love her too."
"Yeah she got it bad, you be good to her."
"I always am."
The tech smiled and said, "Seems that way."
Through the microphone the tech told Garcia she was all done, and could go back to the room.
Once Penelope and Derek were inside the room, Penelope laid back down, and said, "De-rek."
"Yes baby girl,"
"I lo-ve yooooou."
"Goddess I love you too."
Penelope frowned and said, "No you don't."
"Woman, yes I do."
"Then why did you let me go out with Lynch?"
"Now is not the time to have this conversation."
Penelope pouted and said, "Okay, but when?"
"As soon as you aren't as high as a kite."
"I like Mary Poppins." Penelope started singing "Let's go Fly a Kite".
Derek leaned over stroked her hair, and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
