Making A Home

Chapter 10

Epilogue

AN: Thanks for all the reviews and here it is the final chapter of this story. No fear I got other ideas and LC is still going. I own nothing and hope you all enjoy.

Derek was standing at the nursery window looking in at his kids. He couldn't believe he was this lucky, not only did he get two boys he got another girl. Penelope had ended up having triplets and they were adorable. He wasn't sure how they were going to manage when it came to feeding time, but they'd figure that out later, right now he wanted to see them again.

Penelope was sleeping at the moment and after pushing two six pound babies and a four pound one, which was Alexis, their youngest daughter, her brothers were six pounds each, and they'd hidden her.

It was Ethan Michael, Cameron James, and Alexis Taylor. Alexis and Cameron had blonde hair, but Ethan had black hair. Alexis had brown eyes as did her brothers, but she had her mom's smile, while her brothers had gotten their dad's.

"Hey, I heard that there was a surprise, you got three kids, damn bro," Nick said with smile, slamming him on the back, "So who is who?" he asked.

"The three right here," Derek said pointing to the infant cribs up front, "Alexis, Cameron and Ethan, but in the opposite order," he said.

"Pen pushed sixteen pounds out of her no wonder she's fast asleep, you trying to kill her?" Nick asked.

"Ha, you just had twins two days ago," Derek said, "They were twelve pounds combined, a seven and five pound," he said with a smile.

"But seriously, we got our hands full here," Nick said, "You got four kids, I got two, that's six, man that house is going to crazy, good thing it is the one you built, right now we're staying, it'll be easier," he said.

"Fine with me, just wait two years we'll have five two year olds running around, oh shit we're going to have it rough," Derek said with a laugh, "Well you will, I'm going to be having fun," he said.

"You love torturing me," Nick said.

"Well you asked what a breast pump was I mean come on, Des told you what it was and you said nope I'll turn it into a beer bong," Derek said, "I still say your dad dropped you on your head when you were born," he said before walking off to go and see if Pen was awake yet.

-------

It was that afternoon when Pen got to go home with the triplets; Derek had gone and gotten Des' van so they could borrow it along with another car seat since they had only had two. They were looking at getting a SUV but with four kids and them, it was probably going to be a van till they were older with three car seats and Abby still in a booster seat, it was going to be hard to fit them all in a SUV, then again they'd have to look.

"I think Abby's going to be happy, she got a little sister like she wanted," Pen said.

"Yeah she did," Derek said, "I'll get them in, you baby girl get in the front seat, I'm driving," he added.

"Fine by me hot stuff," Pen said before she went over and got in the van, she was tired and knew that when she got home sleep was going to be the only thing she wanted, almost twenty four hours of labor and she was wiped out still, it had been twenty two hours of labor with all three of the newborns, but it had been twenty two hours when Ethan finally came out half hour later it was Cameron and finally Alexis twenty three hours in.

Derek got all three kids into their car seats and once he made sure they were okay he went around to the back the van opening it up, they'd tried to find a twin stroller with car seat attachment, but what he found he didn't like, however he finally found a place where they could have their own made, and Derek had gotten one made, it was easier.

They had the boys in that stroller and Alexis in her own which Derek had gotten customized just like her brothers. The boys' strollers had the Chicago Bulls design, while Alexis had Disney Princess. His mom swore he was spoiling them already, but he didn't care because he would spoil them like he had done Abby.

He opened the truck before putting the two strollers inside before going around and getting into the driver's seat, "Ready to go home?" Derek asked looking over at Pen who was fast asleep, he flipped the radio on putting the CD he had in and turning it up till it was just right before he pulled out of the hospital. He couldn't wait to get home with the triplets.

Figuring out how to feed them all and watching them sleep at night, two am wake up calls, he was going to get to be here this time, watch his kids grow up start till the day he died, which he was hoping would be two more kids and over fifty years away, with over a dozen grand kids to boot.

Derek was pretty sure that life couldn't get any better, four kids, plus with Des and Nick living in the house. He'd stayed with Sarah the six months that Eric was under cover like he'd been, but Eric got out sooner, but while he was under, Derek had moved in with Sarah. It was the six months before he'd joined the BAU when he'd left Pen that night after their second week together.

He'd wanted to stay, but Eric went under so fast and Sarah was struggling with the twins and she was depressed for while missing Eric, six months in a house with crying infants was now like music to his ears because he knew somebody had needed him back then and now even more. He had three little lives in his hands, along with Abby's and Pen's.

---------

It was almost six the next morning when Derek woke up hearing one of his kids crying. Pen had tried to breast feed before she'd left the hospital, but they wouldn't take her milk, they'd spit it back up every time, so after a debate with the nurse who kept saying it was normal, Pen had went off on her.

Fran had smiled when Penelope told the woman she was going to give her something to stop the milk production and she was going to get her formula or she would find her self erased on the planet and any hopes of being a nurse would be gone since she didn't exist.

Pen had got what she'd wanted and they were all happy, because the babies were happily drinking away, and the nurse was safe from Penelope's raft. Hell he was house bound for almost a mount after he'd gotten hurt, but she threatened him on making it permit.

"Come on hot stuff," Pen said sitting up with a yawn before they went to feed the triplets.

"You know I don't want these days to ever end," Derek said wrapping his arms around Penelope and giving her a hug, "I love you, and thank you for these three, and Abby," he said.

"I love you two, Derek, and I think that the last few months has helped make this even better," Pen said, "I almost lost you, and just thinking about that even now, I still cry some nights," she said.

"I will always protect you and our kids, I know the risk, and I know the price I could pay," Derek said, "And it still eats me up knowing that Abby saw me like that, I would have given anything for her not to live through what I did with my dad, I'm just glad I didn't meet his fate," he said.

Pen gave him a kiss before they walked over to the cribs, "You and me both," she said, "Okay, Ethan is wanting food and the other two are asleep, maybe it'll be quick and those two will stay asleep," she said.

Derek was about to say something when Alexis started crying, "You had to jinx it didn't you," Derek said with a laugh before he went to make the bottles that they'd need.

"We can do this," Penelope said.

----

One night had lead to this, one night of pure love and five words, 'I love you baby girl,' Penelope had never thought she'd be the kind of woman that would cheat, but she'd wanted more than Jake, and she wanted to be loved again. She's wanted to be in Derek's arms again, where she'd felt safe and protected all those years back.

Derek was the one for her, he'd risked his life to protect her and Abby. He'd given them a home that was theirs and now, he was here for his newborn babies, he was more than she could ever ask for, and it had started with Nick setting them up at that bar that night.

Pen smiled remember Derek and her having sex on his motorcycle, it had been difficult at first, but they'd done it, and even know just looking at Derek's bike brought back those memories, he still filled her up completely and she'd never change that night, or the two weeks that had followed, and she wouldn't change now either.

"Here you go," Derek said handing he a bottle before he went to pick Alexis up.

"I never told you, but that night on your bike, having sex, I said it couldn't be done and you showed me it could, I knew that I'd end up with you, somehow someday," Pen said, "I got my wish, and we've made a home," she said.

"Yeah we did," Derek said, "We have came a long ways since that night, hell it was first time I'd had sex in eighteen months, I know I was going to figure a way to do it or take you against the wall out there, but now, I know how to turn you on with just a word," Derek said before he kissed her whispering something in her ear, "Penelope," he said stretching her name out.

"Stop it we can't have sex now and you aren't getting me horny," she said.

Derek smiled before giving her a kiss, "I'm glad it's you here with me," he said.

"Right back at you," Penelope said with a smile.

Two simple words, baby girl and she'd kissed him that night and after that it was on, now she was glad she'd risked it that night, and when she'd left Jake, and even those days when she longed for Derek to be there instead of Jake. She was glad that Abby was Derek's and now they could put this past them and start fresh, the way it should be.

THE END
