Wanting-Ch 10
Derek and Penelope pulled apart when they heard Sam coming out into the back yard, Sam said, "I talked to your mom and she's fine with me staying here with Penelope". Derek grinned and said, "are you hungry, we've already eaten but I'm sure momma has plenty of left overs", Sam said, "no thank you I ate on the plane".
He looked at Penelope and said, "but I am tired, is there anyway that we can turn in a little early tonight", she smiled at Derek and said, "good night Derek". He smiled at her and said, "good night baby girl, sweet dreams", Sam wrapped his arm around Penelope and said, "night Morgan, we'll see you in the morning".
Penelope looked over her shoulder and caught one final glimpse of Derek before Sam dragged her into the house, he stopped in the living room to say hello to the team before him and Penelope headed upstairs for the night. When they stepped into the room Sam pulled her inot his arms and crashed his lips against hers.
Penelope said, "this is a single bed so you can have this room and I'm bunking with Sarah and Desiree in their room", he said, "no no you can stay here and we can both sleep in this bed". She laughed and said, "I don't think so", she grabbed her bag and said, "good night Sam, I'll see you in the morning at breakfast", and he watched helplessly as she walked out and closed the door behind her.
She headed down the hall to Sarah and Desirees room and knocked on the door, Sarah opened the door and said, "Penelope is something wrong"?, she said,
"can I sleep here with you girls tonight"?, Desiree said, "sure Penelope, come on in". Penelope stepped inside and Sarah closed the door and she said,
"are you sure you're alright, you look a little pale"?, she sat down on the bed and said, "girls I need to tell you something and I need you to promise me that you won't tell anybody else, especially not your brother".
They looked at each other and then at her and Sarah said, "we promise", she sat there on the side of the bed and told them the entire story of what had happened over the past couple of" months. When she was finished she said, "if you two want, I can leave", Sarah said, "no we don't want you to go,
we want you to stay here with us".
She smiled when Desiree said, "Derek doesn't love Savannah he loves you", she smiled and said, "and I love him to but with me not knowing who the daddy of the baby is I don't know what to do"?, Sarah said, "you are what, about 6 weeks along"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes but that doesn't help anything because remember I was with both of them on the same day".
Desiree said, "well unless you want to do a paternity test you will have to wait till the baby is born to see for sure who the daddy is"?, she bit down on her lip and said, "I need to tell Derek and Sam the truth about the baby". Sarah said, "what do you think Sam is going to say"?, she sighed and said, "he's going to tell me that it doesn't matter who the daddy is that we were together first and that we can raise the baby together".
Desiree said, "and what do you think Derek is going to say"?, she took a deep breath and said, "probably that we love each other and we can raise the baby together". Sarah said, "well who do you want to be with"?, she said, "that's easy, I want to be with your brother", Desiree rubbed her hands together and said, "we will have to give you time to be able to tell Derek about the baby".
Penelope said, "what are you going to do"?, Sarah said, "we will have to keep Sam running around on wild goose chases with us getting stuff for Dereks party now won't we"?, Penelope grinned and said, "I don't know how I will ever be able to repay you girls". Desiree said, "just make our brother happy and we will call it even", she shook hands with both girls and said, "deal".
Fran walked into the back yard and sat down in the swing with her son and said, "honey we need to talk", he said, "about what momma"?, she said, "about you, Sam and Penelope". Derek said, "what about them, they're probably upstairs making love right now", Fran said, "ohhhh no they aren't because she is sleeping in the room with your sisters".
Derek grinned and said, "really"?, Fran laughed and said, "yes really because that girl loves you and wants to be with you and nobody else but you",
Derek took a deep breath and said, "there are a few things that you need to know" and Fran sat there while Derek filled her in on everything that had happened".
Fran said, "the only question that matters is do you love her"?, he nodded his head and said, "I love her more than I have ever loved a woman before in my life momma". She put her hand on his and said, "well then how about we use this week to try to get the two of you together"?, he said, "that sounds great but what about Sam"?, she said, "just let me and the girls handle Sam while you spend some time alone with your baby girl", he nodded his head in agreement and said, "I love the way you think momma", she grinned as she filled him in on her plan.
Little did they know that Kevin had a little plan of his own
