Merry Christmas Hotstuff-Ch 7
Derek intertwined fingers with his baby girl as they walked through the snow, he said, "everything is so beautiful isn't it sweetness"?, she looked around at all of snow and said, "it sure is, I love this time of year, especially here in the mountains". The birds were chirping, the sun was trying to shine from behind the big white clouds and the snow was starting to lightly fall when they stopped and started looking at trees.
Derek pulled Penelope into his arms and crashed his lips against hers and when they pulled apart he said, "have I told you how much I love you this morning"?, she ran her finger up his chest and said, "I don't think so". He caressed her cheek and said, "I love you like midnight loves the moon" and then leaned in and pressed his lips sweetly against hers.
JJ looked around and said, "heyyyyyyy you're not suppose to be making out you're suppose to be looking for a tree", Penelope stuck out her tongue at her friend and said,
"don't be a hater Jayje". JJ laughed and said, "ha ha very funny Garcie" as she picked up a snowball and threw it at her, Penelope laughed and said, "wowwww look at that tree".
Emily said, "oh that's perfect", Dave walked over and said, "I would have to agree with you, that is the tree, that is our perfect tree", everybody then watched as he started chopping it down. A few minutes later the tree was ready to go and Dave said, "alright let's head em up and move em out", Henry said, "when tan we pway"?, JJ said, "we have to take the tree back first and grab the sleds and then we can play as long as you want".
Jack and Henry were yelling, "yayyyyyyyyyy" as they ran past everybody to be up front with Dave and their tree, the walk back didn't take long and soon the women were watching the men carry the tree up into the back room so that it could settle. When they walked back out Dave said, "alright let's go get the sleds" and the boys were more than ready as they walked into the storage building and came back out with their sleighs.
Derek said, "I can't wait to be able to put my arms around you as we slid down the hill", she giggled and said, "ohhhh I like the sound of that", he kissed her lips and said, "me to sweetness, me to". The happy family then made their way up the hill and after they got to the top decided the order they were going to slid down the hill the first time.
Reid slid down with Henry and Emily with Jack, JJ and Hotch slid down alone followed by Derek and his baby girl and finally Dave and Fran, everybody was laughing and having a great time as they slid down the hill again and again. Derek sat down and said, "here you go sweetness, you can sit rightttttt here" as he patted the sled in front of him.
She sat down and said, "are you gonna wrap those big strong arms around me"?, he said, "you bet I am", she laughed as he wrapped them snuggly around her and as they started down the hill she squealed. They continued to ride up and down the hill until Jack and Henry were ready to head back to the house, the promise of cookies and hot cocoa was more than enough to get them inside, at least for a little while.
While everybody was drinking their cocoa in the living room Penelope snuck off and went into the kitchen to grab something to eat, she opened the fridge and reached inside and grabbed a piece of ham and started eating it. As she chewed it up she reached up into the cabinet and got a glass and poured herself some milk, she stood there eating and drinking unaware that JJ and Emily were watching from the door.
Emily looked at JJ and mouthed the words, "she's pregnant" and JJ nodded her head yes as they walked closer to their friend, Penelope swallowed her milk and said, "hi girlies how are ya"?, they sat down at the table and JJ leaned in and whispered, "is there something that you want to tell us"?, she said, "wh wh what are you talking about Jayje, what could I possibly have to tell ya"?, Emily shook her head and said, "ohhhhh PG PG PG".
Penelope said, "I'm fine, I promise, there is nothing wrong with me", JJ said, "we never said there was anything wrong with you we asked if you had something to tell us". Penelope looked around and made sure that everybody else was in the living room and then she leaned forward and said, "you can't tell Derek but" and JJ and Emily in unison whispered, "you're pregrant".
Penelope nodded her head yes and grinned as her friends hugged her, when they pulled apart she said, "I'm going to surprise Derek on Christmas morning", Emily said, "has anybody else figured it out"?, she said, "Reid and I think Fran has but nobody else and I want you two to promise me that you won't tell". They held out their pinkies and said, "pinkie swear".
Derek walked into the room and said, "ohhhhhh this looks serious you girls are pinky swearing", she paniced and said, "no no nothings serious handsome", Emily laughed and said, "PG just told us what one of your gifts was Morgan". He leaned over and said, "any hints Em"?, she shook her head and said, "nopeeeeee not one" and then JJ and Emily stood up and walked out of the room leaving Penelope and Derek alone.
Derek kissed his wife on the lips and said, "the boys have conked out so we're going to watch a movie, are ya interested"?, she said, "of course, you know me and my Christmas movies my love". Derek held out his hand and said, "that I do goddess, that I do" as they intertwined fingers and headed out of the kitchen to join the rest of their family.
