Penelope takes a deep breath as she walks through the airport, she looks down at her three year old daughter Michelle and says, "are you about ready to see daddy"?, the little girl looks up at her and claps her hands and says, "yayyyyyyy daddy". Derek and Penelope were legally seperated and waiting on the final decree so they will both be free to move on with their lives.
As she strapped her little angel into the carseat the memories of the night that changed her life forever filled her mind, she was late getting home from work so she was hurrying up because she had to get home and pay the baby sitter and get dinner ready for her and Derek. When she pulls into the driveway she notices a strange car parked across the street.
She turns the knob and finds the door locked, she looks through the window and doesn't see anything, she then notices that Tinas car is gone so she pulls her keys out and opens the door and steps inside the house. She lays the groceries on the table as she makes her way upstairs in search of her daughter.
When she gets to the top of the stairs her stomach drops when she hears moans coming from her bedroom, she walks to the door and pushes the door open to see the man who is suppose to be working out at the gym currently having sex with another woman. She backs up bumping into the wall causing Derek and the woman to pull apart.
The woman smirks and watches as tears stream down Penelopes face, Penelope looked at her and said, "Savannah how could you do this to me"?, she took a deep breath and said, "I always get what I want Penelope and I wanted Derek". She wiped her eyes and said, "well you can have him", Savannah then watched the look on Dereks face as Penelope ran out of the room.
Derek jumps up and says, "baby please let me explain", she holds up her hand and says, "I can't believe this" as she heads through to the nursery to grab their daughter. She quickly fills the diaper bag and grabs the baby and heads downstairs where she sees the man she never thought would break her heart standing and waiting for her.
She tries to go by him and he says, "where are you going"?, she looks up at him and says, "you lost the right to know about that when you slept with another woman in OUR BED". He puts his hands on her shoulders and says, "I love you baby girl", she slaps him hard across the face and says, "don't you ever say that to me ever again", he then watched as the best things that had ever happened to him walked out of his life.
Penelope was pulled back to reality when Michelle started giggling, she kissed her on the cheek and said, "mommy loves you Chell", she then closed the door and headed around to the drivers side of the car. Derek was nervously looking out the window watching for his wife and daughter to arrive at his place.
He loved Penelope and he was hoping that he would get the chance to make things up to her and make her see that she is the only person that he had ever or would ever love". He ran his hand over his head and said, "you can do this Derek, you can't lose them, not permanently", he looks down at the divorce papers and puts them in the drawer and closes it.
Penelope feels her heart racing as she gets closer to the house she shared with Derek for over 3 years, she loved Derek and the thoughts of him with another woman was more than he could stand. She hadn't spoken to him about anything other than Michelle for the past year and any attempts he made to try and reconcile she buffed off.
Derek smiled as he watched Penelopes car pull in front of the house, he opened the door and headed outside, when Michelle saw him she started waving and squeeling, "daddyyyyyyyyy, daddyyyyyy". He opened the door and unbuckled her and picked her up and started kissing her little chubby cheeks, he said, "I've missed you Chelle".
He looked up at Penelope and said, "how are you doing baby girl"?, she said, "don't call me that please", he said, "why, you are still my baby girl and you always will be". She shook her head and said, "no I won't, you lost the right to call me that the night you slept with that hussy in what was once our bed".
He openeed his mouth to say something and she cut him off by saying, "I'll be back in the morning to pick her up, she has a play date with Henry", she walked over and kissed Michelle on the cheek and said, "momma loves you and I'll be back early in the morning to get you okay"?, she nodded her head and said, "tayyyyy momma".
She looked at Derek and said, "I hope that you have a good time with your daughter", she then walked back around to the drivers side of the car and said, "I am gonna need those papers signed before we head back". He said, "why so soon, we need to talk and try to work things out", she took a deep breath and said, "we've been seperated for over a year Derek and we've both moved on".
He said, "I haven't moved on", she said, "well it looked like you had to me that night the way you were all over her", he said, " I never meant to hurt you, I love you and if I could rewind time that night would never have happened". She laughed and said, "yeah well you can't so please just sign those papers".
She said, "where is Savannah", she rolled her eyes and said, "was"?, he said, "yes was, she's at work right now", .
He said, "please baby", she said, "Derek, Sam and I are getting married when the papers are signed so I need those papers signed because Chelle and I are heading back home on the 27th". His mouth flew open and said, "no you can't marry him", she put her hands on her hips and said, "I've moved on Derek, please don't make this harder than it has to be".
She waved at Michelle and said, "see you tomorrow baby", she then got into the car and waved as she pulled away from the curb, Derek looked down at Michelle and said, "daddy's really messed up sweetie and I don't know if I can fix this". He then headed back inside the house as he watched Penelopes rental car pull out of sight.
Penelope wiped away the tears that she wouldn't dare let Derek see as she pulled out onto the freeway, she had a week with her family and she wasn't going to let her pending divorce ruin their Christmas.
