Hey, y'all! I hope you don't hate me too much for that last chapter. Haha! Here's the next one!

-------------------------------------------

Penelope's POV:

      I was sitting in the waiting room with the team still crying as they tried to calm me down. I look up when I hear JJ yelling my name and see her running up to us.

"They think he may have gone into a coma or maybe has a concussion and could possibly have internal bleeding. He hit his head again. It's not looking good," she says between tears once she gets to us.

"WHAT? How did he hit his head?" I ask beginning to sob. I could tell by the look on her face that she was reluctant to tell me.

"He.... He.. He was getting up to go chase after you."

It is all my fault.

"Oh God" I say and then run up to the front desk asking them to let me back to my Hot Stuff's room. However, they try to tell me that he can't have visitors right now.

General POV:

As they are watching Penelope argue with the nurse at the desk, they are all trying to keep themselves together for her. They're not doing a very good job of it though.

JJ is still crying, Reid is sitting there stunned and scared that he might lose his best friend, Rossi is trying to keep up his reputation and look tough, but the tear rolling down his cheek does not go unnoticed by the rest of the team, Hotch has stormed off and completely walked out of the hospital, and Emily hasn't stopped crying since she profiled the look on JJ's face when she came into the waiting room.

Penelope finally yells enough that they let her go to Morgan's room as the rest of the team just sits and waits for the inevitable.

Penelope's POV:

I get back to Derek's room as the nurses are rolling his bed in.

"What's going on? Is he going to be okay? What's wrong with him?"

"Good news is that he'll wake up very soon. Bad news is that he has some internal bleeding. We're trying our best to stop it," the nurse replies and gives me an understanding look as her and the other nurses walk out.

I can't stop the tears from streaming down my face as I sit down in the chair beside my husband's bed, take his hand in mine, and wait for any sign of him waking up.
