Do I Know You-Ch 1
Penelope kissed her husband the one and only Derek hotstuff Morgan and said, "I will be right back handsome, I need to go and get some diapers for Isabella". Derek wrapped his arms around her waist and says, "why don't you stay here with the baby and I will go and get the diapers for our little angel".
She laughed and said, "I need to pick up a few groceries to handsome, I won't be long", he sighed and said, "alright goddess, please be careful and remember your hotstuff loves you". She kissed his lips one final time before heading toward the door, she put her hand on the door knob and said, "I love you to hotstuff" and then headed out the door.
Derek didn't know that would be the last time he would see his wife for almost 4 years, his life had been turned upside down after they were unable to find Penelope. Derek and the team followed up lead after lead and still nothing, everytime Derek closed his eyes he could see the smile on her face as she walked out the door the last time he saw her.
Derek had never given up on finding his baby girl, the woman that he loved with all of his heart, something inside him told him that she was alive and he would find her, he just had to. He looked up and smiled when his little girl crawled up in his lap and laid her head on his chest and said, "daddy tell me a tory".
He laughed and said, "how about daddy tells you the story about how he met mommy"?, she clapped her hands and said, "yayyyy I lub dat one daddy", he kissed the end of her nose and said, "well it all started when". About an hour later he kisses the top of her head as he lays her down in her big girl bed and covers her up.
He stood by her bed smiling down at her and he couldn't help but see how much she looked like Penelope, he leaned over and kissed her cheek and said, "good night princess", before turning on her night light and walking out of the room. He walks downstairs and heads to the kitchen to grab a beer when there is a knock at the door.
He walks over and answers the door and smiles when he sees his mom standing on the other side of the door, he kisses her cheek and says, "come in momma". Fran walks inside and says, "how are you and my grand baby doing"?, he halfheartedly smiles and says, "Bella is asleep, I just put her down".
Fran hugged her son and said, "how are you doing baby boy"?, he hugs her tight and says, "I miss her momma, I miss her so bad", Fran says, "son have you ever thought that", Derek said, "no momma don't say it, she isn't dead, she isn't". Fran said, "I want to belive that honey but it has been 4 years and no signs of her, none at all".
Derek sat down on the couch and said, "some people are found 10 to 15 years after they disappear momma and I can feel it in my heart, she is alive and I'm not gonna stop looking until I find her". Derek laid his head back against the couch and said, "I can still see her the day she left momma, she was so beautiful and I will see her again, I know I will".
Meanwhile in New Mexico a dark haired woman sits on a porch and looks out over the horizon and feels that she is missing something but she can't put a finger on what it is. She looks up and smiles when a dark haired man sits down beside her and says, "are you alright Mandy"?, she lays her head on his shoulder and says, "I'm fine Thomas, just fine".
He kisses the top of her head and says, "I love you, you do know that right"?, she looks up at him and says, "I know that Thomas and I hope that you know that I love you to". He puts her hand in his and says, "I can't believe that tomorrow is our anniversary and that we have been together 4 years".
The dark haired woman says, "me either my love, me either", Thomas smiles as he wraps his arm around her shoulder and says, "I don't know what I would have done if I hadn't found you when you disappeared 4 years ago". She looks up at him and says, "me either handsome, me either", she laid her head on his chest and they watched the sunset.
