Partners-Ch 10

Gabby laughed as Derek pushed her on the swings, Penelope took picture after picture of her daughter throughout the day, Penelope couldn't help but smile as she watched Gabby wrap her little arms around Dereks neck as he carried her over to the little merry go round. Derek looked down at Gabby and said, "are you having fun sweetie"?, the little girl nodded her head yes and squealed.

Derek couldn't believe how much energy this amazing little girl had, she played almost the entire time they were at the park and not long before they were to head back home she noticed the ducks that were floating on top of the small pond. She grabbed Derek and Penelope by the hands and pulled them over closer to the ducks.

Penelope said, "what sound does a duck make Gabby"?, she looked up at Penelope and said, "qwack qwack", Penelope said, "that's right princess", the little girl sat there for over half an hour quacking at the ducks before Penelope said, "come on sweetie it's getting dark". Gabby stood up and ran into her mommas arms.

Their afternoon at the park was amazing, they laughed and played and even had ice cream before making their way back to Penelopes place with a sleeping Gabby. Derek kissed the top of her head and smiled as he laid her down on her big girl bed, he stepped back and covered her up with her little princess blanket.

Penelope walked over and kissed her daughter on the top of the head and said, "goodnight princess, momma loves you so much", she then turned Gabbys night light and monitors on before making her way out of the room with Derek. Penelope intertwined their fingers as they made their way back downstairs to the living room.

Derek leaned in and gently kissed her lips and when they pulled apart Penelope said, "would you like some wine"?, he kissed her lips gently and said,
"that sounds nice". He spread a blanket on the floor in front of the fireplace and was sitting there with a huge smile on his face when his baby girl walked back into the room.

She saw Derek sitting on the floor and said, "welllllll don't you look comfortable"?, he reached up and took the bottle and glasses and put them on the floor in front of him. He then held up his hand to her and she couldn't help but smile as she put her hand in his and gently got down on the floor with him.

She sighed and watched as he put some wine in both glasses before handing her one, she took a sip and said, "today was amazing and Gabby had so much fun". Derek laughed and said, "so did I, that little girl is so much like you", Penelope grinned and said, "really"?, he leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers and said, "yes really, you are a wonderful mother to Gabby".

Penelope smiled and said, "thanks and I have to say that you are great with her, she loves you", he grinned and said, "and I love her to", Derek took another sip of wine and said, "so how did you meet Mick"?, she laughed and said, "wellll lets just say that it wasn't one of my best days". He put her hand in his and gently squeezed it as she took a sip of her wine.

She looked up at him and said, "the day I met Mick was a very wet and dreary day and he made my day", Derek said, "made your day how"?, she said, "welll my makeup was running all over my face, I had mud all over my shoes and I was drenched from head to toe but he helped dry me off and then told me that I was beautiful".

Derek caressed her cheek and said, "you are beautiful", she smiled as she kissed his palm, Derek said, "so how long did the two of you date"?, she blew out a deep breath and said, "around a year and a half". He said, "wow, really"?, she said, "yeahhhh, for a while things were going great for us but then he got a job in another state".

Derek said, "didn't he ask you to go with him"?, she nodded her head and said, "oh yeah he asked but moving to another state wasn't where I saw my life going". He nodded his head as she said, "I had just gotten into the FBI and I loved where I was working, I loved my team and I just wasn't ready to ask for a transfer to another state".

Penelope sighed and said, "enough about me and Mick, why don't we talk about something else", Derek reached over and took her glass and put it down beside his and wiggled his eyebrows and said, "we don't have to talk at all". She smiled and said, "ohhhhh I like the way you think", he then leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers as he rolled her under him.

She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him down into a passionate kiss, one kiss turned into two and then four and then clothes were flying all over the living room. It didn't take long before the living room was filled with their soft moans as they spent the rest of the night making mad passionate love.
