Penelope unlocked the door clutching the stark white plastic bag in her hand. Clooney bound over to Penelope. She bent down and rubbed behind his ears.

Derek smiled and said, "There's my girl."

Penelope placed the bag down. Derek and Penelope closed the distance between each other. Derek kissed Penelope long and tenderly.

When they finally broke apart Derek grinned, and Penelope sighed in content. Derek took her hand and the bag and said, "So I see you have been out."

Penelope replied, "Uh…..yeah… I went to the drug store to grab a few things. I ran into Kevin."

Derek raised an eyebrow and said, "Oh yeah. How is he?"

Penelope smiled and said, "Other than the allergies, he is great. He has a new girlfriend, and apparently she has a cat."

Derek laughed and asked, "Is there a time when Kevin wasn't sick?"

Penelope laughed and said, "No not really."

Derek saw the top of a box sticking up out of the bag. "Hey baby what is-… Do you think?...Are you?...Are we?" Derek pleaded, "Baby say something."

Penelope took a deep breath and said, "Derek I am not sure. Are you upset?"

Derek walked over to Penelope, hugged her and said, "Look at me. How could I be upset? Having a baby with you, would make me so….very…very…..happy."

"Derek you have to stop kissing me or I can't take the test."

Derek pouted and said, "Fine. Just know those lips are mine when you are done."

Penelope felt a huge weight lift off her shoulders. Then she had another thought. What if she wasn't pregnant? Would he be disappointed?

Derek grabbed the bag and Penelope's hand and jogged up the stairs.

Penelope laughed and said, "Someone is eager."

Derek said, "Uh hell yes. I want to know if my mama is gonna be a mama."

"Okay D I will take the two tests, and you set the timer when I come out."

Penelope stood in the bathroom staring at the two small boxes that could possibly change her future forever.

Penelope opened the first box and read the instructions, and repeated the actions for the second test. She placed them on the counter and washed her hands.

She came out of the bathroom and sat on the bed. Derek was pacing back and forth.

"Derek sit down you are making me dizzy."

"Oh sorry baby girl, it's just-"

"Derek I am so happy you're excited about this, but seriously you are making me nauseous."

Derek sat next to Penelope and held her hand.

Derek stared at his cell phone until the timer went off.

Penelope chuckled and said, "Derek time isn't going to go by any faster if you stare at your phone."

"Damn it. This is the longest five minutes of my life."

"Derek you are so cute when you are impatient."

Finally the timer went off.

Derek asked, "Do you want me to go in with you."

Penelope nodded her head yes.

Penelope placed her hand in Derek's and they walked into the bathroom.

Derek said, "We look on the count of three….1…2…3"

They both looked.

"Derek put me down."

"Can your man be happy for a moment?"

"Derek seriously I think I am going to be sick."

"Oh baby sorry."

"It's okay. Will you come lay down with me?"

"For my baby girl and my baby, yes I will. Just let me lock up and let Clooney out for a minute."

Derek wanted to call his mom right away, but he wanted to wait to talk to Penelope first. Derek let Clooney out, checked all the windows and doors and made sure they were locked. Derek whistled for Clooney to come inside. It took a few attempts. It seemed that Clooney found some poor squirrel to chase. Derek whistled louder and Clooney gave up his efforts.

Derek set the alarm and jogged upstairs.

Penelope was stripping down when Derek came in the room.

Derek raised an eyebrow and asked, "Are you sure sleeping is all you want to do?"

Penelope sighed sadly and said, "Sorry my Adonis, but I really don't feel good."

Derek took one look at Penelope's face and new she really, truly didn't feel well.

Derek said, "Baby why don't we snuggle and sleep, and when we wake up I can call mama for her special feel better recipe she gave to Sarah when she was pregnant?"

"Oh my god Derek, we have to tell your mom. What is she going to think? I mean we aren't married…."

"Hey hush that motor mouth of yours. My mom will be excited, ecstatic, and flat out happy."

"Derek are you sure?"

"Yes baby. And trust me, my mom has told me a million times, that if I ever had any kids that they should be with you."

"She said what?"

"Woman you heard me. Now scoot closer and let's get some sleep."

I know this is short, but more to come…..As always read and review!
