Bachelor Party-Ch 10
Penelope pulled away and said, "that isn't fair", he caressed the side of her face with his thumb and said, "why isn't it fair"?, she said, "because when you kiss me I can't concentrate". He grinned at her and said, "please give me a chance Penelope, give us a chance", she said, "Derek I haven't had the best luck with relationships".
He took a deep breath and said, "neither have I", she stood up and walked over to the fireplace and said, "my last relationship didn't end well", he stood up and said, "what happened"?, she said, "let's just say that it took a 2 week stay in the hospital for me to realize that we weren't meant to be".
He said, "oh god baby, what did he do to you"?, she said, "I was bruised all over and had a few broken ribs and a sprained shoulder and elbow", Derek said, "I understand now why you left me but I promise you that I would never ever hurt you". She stepped back and said, "yeah he said that to Derek and like a fool I believed him".
He put his hand on her cheek causing her to jump and he said, "I would never hurt you sweetness, I would rather cut my arm off as to hurt you", she took a deep breath and said, "Derek you are with Savannah", he opened his mouth and she said, "let me finish". He stood there with his hands in his pockets and waited to see what she was going to say.
She said, "like I said you are with Savannah now and I have a great job and I am up for a promotion", he said, "but I know that I can make you happy Penelope". Penelope sighed and said, "I promise you that I would never ever keep you away from your baby", he said, "how is this gonna work with you here and me in Virginia"?, she said, "well after the baby is born you can see her as often as you like, I can fly out when he or she is old enough to travel and we will work something out, I promise".
He shook his head and said, "what if I want the whole package", she laughed and said, "what's the whole package"?, he said, "you and me together under one roof raising our child together". She said, "Derek we don't know each other, the only thing between us is a night of explosive sex" and she rubbed her stomach and said, "and this little miracle right here".
Penelope sighed and said, "I'm not the type of woman that men walk across a crowded bar for or write a love song about Derek, I am a fat, hardworking,
very pregnant woman". He put his finger on her lips and said, "I walked across the room for you and if I could I would write a thousand love songs in your honor and you are not fat you are gorgeous and I don't want to hear you talking like that anymore".
He leaned in and rested his forehead against hers and said, "I'm falling for you Penelope, hard, and I want to be with you and our baby", she opened her mouth to speak and her cell started ringing. She said, "excuse me I need to get this it's work", he ran his hand over his head and walked away for her to take her call.
Derek turned to see her baby bump and smiled knowing that his child was growing inside her, he wanted her and she was right about one thing and that was that right now he was with Savannah but as soon as he got home he would take care of that and then she would see that he was serious about them being together.
After her call was over she walked back over to him and said, "I got the promotion", he grinned and said, "that's great Penelope", she nodded her head and said. "and I will be moving and my job starts Monday". He said, "so where are you being transferred to"?, she opened her mouth and said, "they are transferr" and her words got interrupted by his cell ringing.
He looked down and said, "sorry sweetness it's my boss, I have to take this", she smiled and said, "that's okay handsome", he took a deep breath and hit talk and said, "Morgan". Hotch said, "we have another body", Derek said, "send me the address and I'll meet you there" and after the call ended Derek said, "baby I have to go, is there any chance we can continue this later"?, she said, "yeah sure".
He leaned in and kissed her lips gently and when they pulled apart she said, "please be careful", he smiled and said, "I will baby girl", she then watched as he walked out of her door. She sat down on the couch and put her head in her hands and said, "what am I gonna do" she then sat back against the couch and wondered what her life was going to be like at her new job.
After a few minutes she got up and headed through the house to let her brothers know that she got the promotion and that she would be moving in a few days. As she walked through the house she smiled as she ran her hand across her stomach, maybe Derek was right and they did belong together but the way her luck ran Derek would resent her and hate her for being pinned down by her and the baby.
The only things she knew for sure was that she loved the baby, she cared a lot about Derek and she was moving for her job all the way across the country and anything other than that would have to wait.
