Ring. Ring.

Ring. Ring.

Ring. Ring.

"I got it! I got it!" Derek exclaimed, and dove across the bed to reach his cellphone right before the last ring.

"Yeah, Agent Morgan," Derek answered.

"Well that's no way to greet your mother!" The voice on the other end replied.

"Hey mama. Sorry, I didn't check the caller ID before I answered," Derek said with a chuckle.

"When's your flight coming in?" Derek's mother asked.

"We're leaving the house now. Our flight get's in at 12:30," Derek said.

"Our? Are you finally bringing that girlfriend of yours along?" Derek's mother asked slyly.

"Yeah, mama. She's coming," Derek said chuckling.

"Who is she? Is it that pretty girl, Emily?" Fran Morgan asked quickly.

"Naw mama. It's not her. You'll love her though," Derek said smiling, looking up to see his girlfriend sitting down on the bed next to him, "She's funny, and really sweet, and beautiful," He added.

"Is she sitting right there with you?" Fran asked. Mothers always know.

"Yes mama. Alrighty I gotta go if we're gonna catch our flight. I love you. And I can't wait for you to meet my girl," Derek said.

"And I can't wait for those grandbabies!" Fran exclaimed.

"Mama!" Derek cried out.

"I'm glad you're visiting me, baby," Fran said smiling.

"Me too, Mama. I'll see you soon. Bye," Derek said, hanging up. He put his cell phone in his pocket and stood up.

"What if she doesn't like me? Derek I'm not always great with parents and what if-" His girlfriend, Penelope, rambled.

"Shh. Baby girl she'll love you," Derek said with a smile.

"And how do you know?" Penelope asked sighing.

"Because I love you," Derek said, and kissed her softly, "Now come on," He said, taking her hand and leading her out the door.
