When Penelope came face to face with the man she ran away from, she wanted to run, but she couldn't.
For one reason she has Justin and Jenny there, and two Jessie was on the floor bleeding from his nose cause she assumed Jake went all Jake on him and beat him up. Penelope moved past Derek and walked over to Jessie.
"Oh my god, Jessie this wasn't suppose to be this way." Pen said handing him the clothe that JJ brought for him.
"Hey hey! I knew what I was doing when I told you to come and stay with me. Plus he wanted to punch me for years. Jessie said with a small laugh.
Jessie sat up and was hugged by Justin and Jenny. Pen smiled at the moment.
Pen saw Nick looking at Justin and she knew she was going to have to tell all.
"So does this mean I can call her Bethany again, cause I love her as Jenny but she is a Bethany through and through." Sophia said.
Bethany ran to Sophia and gave her a hug.
"Yes she always was Bethany." Pen said.
Pen saw Derek staring at her, she had to deal with Jake first.
"Sophia, can you keep Justin busy, and Bethany stay with Jessie. I have to talk to Jake." Pen said but sounded more of an order.
Once Pen saw that Jessie and Sophia took her babies away, she walked up to Jake who was by Nick still and got in his face.
"Listen to me, I may be for non violence but you ever say one word to my daughter or my son, you will regret ever being born. You gave up the right to her the day I left, and when the divorce was final and you gave up all your rights to her. Don't try to see her or look at her ever again." Pen said with so much anger that Jake took a step back. Pen looked at JJ and saw the question in her eyes.
"I told you my husband was a bastard."
Pen said and went to see her kids and ignore Derek some more, but he grabbed her arm as she walked by him. Pen went to pull away. But Derek just picked her up and carried her away from the crowd, leaving everyone confused and wondering what they missed.
"Derek Morgan, you put me down right this instant, I have nothing to say to you." Pen yelled.
Derek set her down and Pen went to back away but Derek followed her step for step till she was up against a wall or car she wasn't sure, the way he was looking at her had her mind shutting off. Derek finally had her right where he wanted her and he wasn't going to let her get away ever again. Derek wanted to kiss her and as mad as she may be at him, the way she was looking at him, she wanted to kiss him too. Derek knew they had so much to talk about, but all he could hear was his heart beating fast cause he had his baby girl with him again and his world made sense. Derek took a hold of her chin and gave her a small kiss, he didn't want to scare her, but he needed to touch her, make sure she was real. When Pen deepened the kiss and grabbed the back of his neck to deepen the kiss. Derek gave into his feelings, his hands roamed over her body just a little touch reminded of their one wonderful moment together.
Derek grabbed her right leg wrapping it around him, making her do the same with the other. Pen moaned when she felt his erection against her and she moaned in approval. Derek broke the kiss to her lips, to move to kiss her neck making her moan as his hands run up and down her side, building the deep ache in her that only he can build. Derek moved his left hand under her shirt to touch skin when he heard a throat clear. Derek let out a growl when Pen pulled away from him when she saw it was Nick. Derek was wondering what was wrong. Pen looked at Nick then at Derek.
"Why are you kissing me Derek Morgan, when you are happy without me?" Pen yelled so the tears would stay at bay.
Derek looked at Pen trying to figure out what she was talking about.
"Happy without you baby girl, I looked everywhere for you for two god damn years and nothing. So don't you fucking say I was happy." Derek yelled at her right back.
Pen looked at Nick causing Derek to do the same. Nick walked closer to the two of them.
"Let me explain before you kick my ass." Nick said.
Derek looked at Pen and could tell that she wasn't happy to see Nick, and that was odd, cause before she left, they were best friends.
"Six months after Pen took off she came back to see you. It was the day that Sara and the kids were with you outside of your apartment building. I let her think that you were with her, and told her you were happy. I swear man, I thought I was doing the right..." Nick didn't get to finish his sentence when Derek sucker punched him in the face.
Derek got another good punch on him that knocked Nick down.
Derek looked at Pen who screamed for them to stop when Nick using his leg took his legs from under him and got in a few good jabs of his own. Derek kneed him in the stomach causing Nick to groan and roll off of him. Derek got in a few more punches yelling
"How could he do this to me. "
Derek stopped when he heard his Mom yell "Derek stop!" and saw the little boy that looked like him was watching. Derek got off of Nick who sat up. Sophia along with Bethany came over with some towels that JJ gave them. Sophia went to Nick who she saw earlier today and thought he was hot. Pen took Derek to the side and checked him over, cleaning off the blood.
"Derek, you know better than to fight." Pen scolded.
"He told you I was happy without you and he fucking knew that wasn't true. I used all my resources I had, and nothing. I looked for you for two years. Nick told me to let you go, and he fucking knew where you were and we have a son together." Derek said and saw Pen's look of shock on her face.
"Baby girl, my mother knew the minute she saw him and I did when I saw him too. We need to talk but not here. I don't need the whole team knowing all." Derek said with a smile.
Derek held out his hand to her hoping she would take it, when she didn't Derek sighed but knew that she would be his again soon. He had no doubt. Derek followed Pen inside giving a look at Nick who was arguing with Sophia.
Meanwhile Sophia was getting tired of Nick being a jerk saying he didn't need help. Nick was complaining and she was about ready to slap him.
"Oh my god Nick, stop acting like a five year old and let me help you. Derek kicked your ass good."
Nick had to laugh, his eye was pretty puffy, but he checked her out. She was pretty blond hair brown eyes tiny little thing. Nick wonders why he never noticed her before.
"My head is up here, and if you want me to have sex with you, then we at least need one date."
Sophia said and left a shocked Nick staring at her.
Seeing Pen Sophia went to check on her and make sure she was okay before she went home. Sophia knew she had to get away from Nick before she went back over to him and took him against some wall or in a room, now she knew what Pen meant when she said she knew she loved Derek all at once.
Walking up to Pen who was watching Derek and Fran talk with Justin and Bethany.
"Hey P! Going to head home. Call me with details. Nick Wells...?" Sophia asked.
Pen smiled at her friend and laughed.
"What?" Sophia asked.
"Did you want him before or after you saw him with no shirt?" Pen asked back.
"I noticed him the minute he walked in, He is fine." Sophia said.
"I may be mad at him, but Nick is one of the best guys around. Though I am pissed at him right now."
"Thanks P see you tomorrow, coffee my place or yours?" Sophia asked walking away.
"My place since Jessie is out of town and I am off for the few days because the team is."
"Don't run P and talk to him, he deserves that much." Sophia said and walked away.
Pen went up to Justin who was talking to Fran and Derek.
"Hey guys, time to go home. Say thank you to JJ and Dave and everyone." Pen said
Pen watched her kids run to Dave and then JJ giving them hugs.
Derek was talking to his Mom when Pen looked at him.
"Derek, I promise that I won't run and we can talk tomorrow, I am tired it's been one long day. I recognize your picture Mrs. Morgan.. It's very nice to meet you." Pen said and walked to where Jessie was waiting for her with Justin and Bethany.
Derek watched the guy put his arm around his baby girl. Bethany and Justin ran and gave Fran then Derek a hug. Bethany just before she walked away whispered in Derek's ear that Jessie and her mom are just friends, making Derek smile.
Derek and Fran followed soon after heading home, even though Derek wanted to be somewhere else with a certain someone else.
AN: Thanks for all the wonderful reviews they mean so much. Hugs to all of you
