Double Obsession-Ch 7
The next morning Penelope woke up, quickly got dressed and headed downstairs to see what the day held in store, she was surprised when she stepped into the living room and heard Sam singing to Amanda. She stopped in the doorway and watched as he held the little girl in is arms singing to her as he finished fixing their breakfast, when he was finished she clapped her hands and said, "you have a wonderful voice".
Sam turned around and said, "thank you, she was missing her mommy this morning and me singing was the only way she would calm down", Penelope grinned and said, "is their anything I can do to help"?, he said, "can you put her in her high chair for me"?, she took the little girl and said, "sure thing" and he glanced over his shoulder and inwardly moaned as he watched her bend over to put the baby in her chair.
Meanwhile, back in Virginia Derek walked into the kitchen and smiled when he saw Savannah and Olivia, he stood there watching as Olivia helped Savannah fix breakfast. He stepped into the kitchen and said, "can I help"?, Savannah said, "can you get Hank please, breakfast is almost ready", he nodded his head and said, "on it" as he headed to the bottom of the stairs.
He then said, "HANKKKKKKKK BREAKFASTTTTTTTT", the little boy quickly appeared at the top of the stairs and said, "comin dad", when the little boy got to the bottom of the stairs Derek ruffled his hair and said, "what time does your class leave for its trip"?, he said, "9 and we'll be gone until late Sunday evening", Derek reached into his wallet and handed his son a little more money and said, "and don't forget to call me and let me know how things are going".
The little boy beamed up at his daddy and said, "thanks dad and I'll call, I promise", Derek grinned as he then followed his son into the dining room to join Savannah and Olivia. When they sat down at the table Derek said, "this looks amazing", Savannah said, "I wasn't sure what everybody liked so I fixed a little of everything" and as Derek looked at the table he saw pancakes, waffles, sausage, bacon, hash browns biscuits, eggs, milk, juice and fresh coffee.
Derek said, "wow, do you cook like this at home"?, Savannah grinned and said, "on special occasions yes but normally for breakfast we'll have bacon, eggs, toast, juice and coffee". Hank took a bite of the chocolate chip pancake and said, "this is yummy", Olivia took a bite of her waffle and said, "vewy yummy" causing Derek to smile as he looked at his baby girl.
Derek looked up at Savannah and said, "Hank is leaving today on a class trip and won't be back until late Sunday night", she smiled and said, "ohhhh where are you going"?, Hank grinned and said, "we're going to check out the new museum in New York and then they have plans to take us to several parks and stuff", Savannah said, "that sounds like fun", the little boy nodded his head and said, "I can't wait".
She then looked at Olivia and said, "so I guess that leaves you and me against daddy"?, Derek said, "well tonight she's going to spend the night with my momma, this was planned several weeks ago". Olivia looked up at Savannah and said, "uh huh and den wes gonna go chopping, alllllllll day wong", she looked up at Derek and said, "wight daddy"?, he ruffled her hair and said, "right baby girl".
Savannah said, "so that leaves you and me I guess"?, Derek said, "well after breakfast I have to got in for work, we have a possible case", she said, "so what will I do"?, Derek said, "well Olivia will be here with you today so you could have a girls day if you want".
