Derek was excited; he had finally arrived in Chicago and wanted to surprise his mother.

He took a cab from the airport. He was relieved to see that the lights were on in the house.

He grabbed his keys and entered quietly.

"Mom?" he said entering in the living room.

And he was more than surprised to see Penelope Garcia asleep in his mother's lap.

***************************************************************************

After talking a long time with Fran and Derek's sisters, Penelope after so many cries, fell asleep and Fran put her head on her lap.

The three women where speaking quietly about what to do, when Derek entered.

"Derek" Sarah whispered walking towards him.

"What the hell?" he asked looking towards Penelope.

Fran put Penelope's head on the couch and left the couch. She took her son by the arms and led him in the kitchen, Sarah and Desiree on their toes.

"What is she doing here Mum?"

"You're still mad at her?" Desiree asked.

"No, I was worried, I didn't know where she was. So?"

"We've met her in the street earlier. She worked at the university."

"Honey, why didn't you tell us that you two had broken up?"

"Mum, I knew you would blame me…"

"Are you kidding me? I am not the one to mess with your life… so?"

"Well I was ashamed… I let her slip away…"

"You two have insecurities, but you have to admit that to allow Nicky into your life again was not really smart." Sarah said.

"I know, I know…. I came here because I needed some peace… I couldn't find her…"

"Well now she's here what are you going to do?"

"Apologize… even if I doubt she'll forgive me…"

"If you don't try, you'll not know. You may be surprised."

"Well why don't we go to sleep. It's late."

"Ok mum, I'll carry Penelope in my old bedroom."

Sarah was going to protest when her mother threw her a knowing look.

"Good idea. Go!" Sarah finally said smiling.

She saw her brother heading towards the living room and stared at her mother puzzled. Fran asked her to be quiet and followed him.

"Come on baby girl." Derek said wile pulling the blanket away from her body.

The look in his face when he saw her belly was priceless. The Morgan women couldn't help but laughed.

Derek turned around frowning.

"What's so funny? I'm going to be a dad!"

"How can you be so sure the baby's yours?" Desiree asked smiling.

"One you wouldn't be smiling and two Penelope isn't that kind of girl."

"Of course not, she so right for you." Fran said with glassy eyes.

"Well let's take my family to bed." He said carrying Penelope in his arms.
