Sleep with one eye open

Nightmares Asleep and Awake.

Penelope's POV-

All I see is white...

I'm finding it harder and harder to breathe...
Where am I..?

I hear a soft beeping....

I see my....
My parents.....
"Mom! Dad!" I yell... "I've missed you guys so much! I'm so sorry for what happened..."
"Penny, it's okay.." My dad started.. "We see what you have become, and oh my gosh. We are so proud of you.." My mom finished..
"Thank you guys.. I can't believe it's you! I just---- Wait... Am I dead..?"
"No sweetheart, you're in a coma... We are here to make sure you come back to life... Where you belong..." My dad said to me..
"Can... Can I stay here..? I don't ever want to leave you guys again.... I need you guys.... Can... Can I hug you...?"
"Penny, you can't stay here.. You have to return to your new life... And of course!" We all hug and it seems like it lasted a lifetime. I don't ever want to let go of my parents again... I... I love them...
"I love you guys... I'm so sorry..." I finally say.. I'm crying my eyes out at this point...
"Aww honey, don't cry.." My mom said and she hugged me tighter. I've missed her hugs from whenever I was sad... They made me feel like everything was okay... I really needed this right now...
"Okay sweetie, it's time for us to go.. And for you to return home... Wake up Penelope... Wake up... Wake up..." Their voices started to fade... The beeping starts to get louder... I start seeing Derek's face... I'm awake...

"Derek..? What.. What happened..?"
"You stormed out of the building.. And some guy hit you over the head repeatedly... Nobody saw who it was... Since it was night time there was nobody around... Reid started chasing after you when you left.. He found you outside.. Penelope, we all thought you were dead... Do you remember who it was who hit you..? Or was it a sneak attack..?"

"Miles..." I said under my breath...
"What? Baby girl, say that again?"
"Miles... It was Miles... Derek.. How long have I been out?" I say, now in tears..
"Miles did this!?" He said surprised.. I don't know why he's surprised, Miles is the whole reason for this!
"Really? You're surprised about that!? What has this whole thing been about Derek!?"
"I know, I know, I'm sorry. It's been so long I forgot. All that's been on my mind is you not waking up..."
"How long was I out for..?"
"3 weeks..." We got interrupted by a nurse. The nurse looked a lot like Emily.. She had dark brown hair, brown eyes.. Skinny, but she's wearing heals... What nurse wears heals to work...? She can't even walk in them!
"There's those beautiful eyes. How do you feel?" She asks me
"I feel like I just got hit by a bus."
"That's normal, you just got out of a three week coma. Do you remember everything leading up to the incident? What's your name?"
"Penelope Garcia Morgan"
"Good, what do you do for a living?"
"I'm the technical person for the FBI... I don't remember the full name.. Oh my gosh... What does that mean!?"
"Calm down, it's normal. That's the question a lot of people get wrong.. You're the Technical Analyst and the Co-Communications Liaison for the FBI." The nurse says and makes a note in her note pad.
"What's on my head..?" I say feeling this weird cloth thing that was wrapped around my head.
"It's gauze, your head was pretty much smashed in. We had to remove the smashed parts and put it back together...."
"Ew! That's disgusting. Please don't tell me about it..." I say in disgust. That's so gross... My head was smashed...
"You have 115 staples holding your head together. They have to stay in for another 4 weeks or so. So the skull fully heals..."
By this point I'm so totally mortified and I just want to throw up..
"Quick! Derek, show me your stomach!"
"Really? In the hospit---"
"Just do it! I just heard that! I need something nice in my head!"
"Fine.." He says lifting up his shirt.
"Beautiful. Thank you. You may put your shirt down now."
"You're lucky you're my wife..." He says and then he kisses my head.

*The next morning*

Penelope's POV-

I'm being chased by a man with a knife...
I can't escape.. I come to a dead end...
"I told you to sleep with one eye open."
This man had a creepy deep voice.
"Please... Please don't do this... NOOOOOO...." My scream fades...

"PENELOPE! WAKE UP! It's just us! Calm down..." Emily and JJ said shaking me a little..
I'm so relieved it was just a dream...

"Oh my gosh... Guys! Thank god it's just you! I had a horrible nightmare..." I say screaming.
"We can tell... What was it about..?"
JJ said to me with concern
"Miles..."
"It's okay... We won't let him touch you again..."
"Thank you"
We all just sit and talk about a lot of random stuff.. What cases they have had the past month... What if was like having Kevin for longer... Henry... And, Emily and Hotch! They finally came out and told people they were together!!! They even moved in together... Emily moved into Hotch's house with him and Jack... And every night, Jack begs her to read a story to him. I've missed so much... I'm happy my girls are telling me what went on.

A few hours later, a different nurse came to my door with a bouquet of flowers.
"Flowers for Penelope Garcia?" He said
"Morgan." I reply with anger. People have to get my name right.
"Excuse me?"
"Penelope Garcia Morgan. People keep forgetting the Morgan."
"That's not what it says on these.. Sorry ma'am. Apparently someone didn't get the message."
"Thank you." I say and the nurse walks out of the room.
The card in the flowers says-
"I hope you feel better baby girl! Sorry I can't be there with you tonight... I have to write up reports all night... -love, your husband Derek"
"Awe! These are so pretty!" "Who sent them?" JJ and Emily say
"Derek. He said sorry for not being able to be here tonight. Here, you read it yourselves"
"Awwww!" They say in unison.
"Yeah, he knows just how to make me feel better. He's too good to me." I say with a smile ear to ear.
A half hour later, JJ had gone home because it was Henry's bed time. And she wanted to make sure she was there to tuck him in and read him a story.
"I think I'm going to go get some food. Want anything Garci-- Mrs. Morgan?" Emily asked me after a really long awkward silence.
"Thank you for saying the right name, and sure, how about chocolate ice cream? I've been dying for chocolate ice cream..."
"Sure. I'll be right back."
Emily walked out of the room and I dozed off to sleep..

I wake up again to Emily putting the cold ice cream on my hand.
"Ahh! Jeez Em! That's freezing!"
"Haha I'm sorry, I didn't know how else to wake you up. And sorry I've been gone for so long.. Apparently a lot of people want ice cream..."
"How long was I sleeping for?"
"I was gone for a half hour.. So it can't be longer then that."
"Oh. Okay. Good.."
"Eat your ice cream before it melts! It's soft serve, it'll melt quick!" Emily says so demanding to me...
"Wow, someone's in a mood.."
"No, sorry haha I didn't mean it like that.. I meant---"
"I know what you meant. I'm just joking around with you"
We sit there and eat our food and then I got a sudden urge to read the note Derek left for me again. It makes me so so so happy. I just want to read it to feel that happiness again.. Things haven't been the same with Emily and I since she heard Derek and I were engaged... I think she might have liked him... But now she's with Hotch.. I don't know why she's still acting like this... Anyway, I pick up the card again and I start to read it out loud.
"I'm very mad you woke up from... your coma...." My heart dropped again..
"What?" Emily screamed with concern..
"When you get out, you better sleep with one. Eye. Open. I will get you. And you won't know when, or where. Could be two days, it could be two years. Be prepared to live in fear. -Miles"
I started crying and Emily hugged me tight. She started dialing the phone to call Hotch.
"Emily.. I'm scared.." I said to her while crying..
