That Friday evening was quiet until…
"DAVID!"
The scream was followed by the sound of the man in question thundering up the stairs. He walked through his bedroom into the bathroom and stopped short of his wife who looked to be on the verge of panic. "Kitten, what's the matter?" There was no answer as she kept her stare focused on the counter in front of her. "Penelope, baby, talk to me" Dave spoke louder this time and it seemed to shake her out of her trance because she shakily turned to him. "Oh, Super Agent! I had no idea this would happen! I mean I thought we both were too old and really? It was the first time and I don't know if I'm ready; I don't know if you're ready and OHMYGOSH ! We never talked about this! You might not even want it and…" She was sobbing by this point and had hung her head so she couldn't see the brilliant smile lighting up her husband's face. "Pen, look at me," when she met his eyes he continued "Are you saying you're pregnant?" she nodded "And you think I'm angry about that? Oh, gattina" With that he pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly. Emotion filled his voice as he spoke softly "The woman I love more than anyone else on this earth is carrying my child. I couldn't be happier!"
In her husband's embrace, Penelope began to calm down. Hearing a slight giggle, David looked down kissing her head "What is it?" Shifting so that her chin was resting on his chest and she was looking into his eyes, she spoke "Maybe I overreacted a little?" "A little?" he questioned, giving her his trademark Rossi smirk. "Is it too early to blame the hormones?" Penelope asked grinning. "We will blame whatever as long as you come to me when you're feeling afraid, or confused, or even excited. It's been a while, but I have gone through this once before. And I want to be there for you, cara mia, I love you. And I am so thankful you are giving me another chance to be a father." A sigh fell from her lips when he kissed her, "I love you too, Dave, so much."
I'm not so sure Rossi in character, still working on him. Thanks for reading!
