A Morgan and Garcia Pregnancy
Chapter 11 - Stuck in Bed Bored
It has been a week since Penelope was discharged from hospital and now she was stuck in bed all day watching movies, eating or sleeping and she was now to the point that she couldn't get comfortable the only time she was allowed out of bed was to shower and to use the toilet, Clooney had taken to laying on the bed with Pen he kept guard over her and the twins his head always laying on her belly the only time he would lift his head was when one of the twins would kick and he would look at Pen's belly turning his head from side to side in a confused manner, Pen would pat his head and tell him that it was ok and he would put it back down and go back to sleep.
Fran had suggested that they open the baby monitor so that she could hear Pen if she needed anything, Pen switched on her end of the monitor and called out to Fran she needed to go to the bathroom but she wasn't allowed out of bed without anyone in the room with her incase anything happened, Fran came running up the stairs and into the bedroom and said "hey Penelope what's up" Pen shook her head and said "nothing is up I just need to pee, I have two little girls that think it is funny to kick and punch my bladder as well as a dog laying with his head on my belly it doesn't help" Pen patted Clooney's head and said "come on boy up you get" as Fran moved to the side of the bed and help Pen to get up since she hasn't stood for a while she supported Pen's weight until she was steady enough to be guided into the bathroom, Fran waited just outside the bathroom door until Pen was ready to go back to bed.
When Derek got home from the office he walked into the house and towards the kitchen where his Mamma was preparing dinner he bent down and kissed her cheek and said "hey Mamma, how are you today and how are my three girls upstairs going" Fran laughed and said "Baby Boy we are all good I suggested that Pen open the baby monitor so that instead of yelling out for me she can just turn the monitor on and call me if she needs something, oh and she has had guard dog with her all day, Clooney has refused to leave her side to even go out go to the toilet" Derek chuckled at that and turned to leave the kitchen making his way upstairs he could hear the tv going in their bedroom.
When Derek got closer to their bedroom he could see Pen leaning up against the headboard with their big overgrown ball of fluff laying beside her his head on her belly guarding the precious cargo that lay inside, Derek stopped at the doorway and leaned against the door frame and watched as Pen continued to watch whatever it was that she was watching, clearing his throat got her attention and she turned towards him smiling and said "hey Baby how are you" he walked into the room and sat down on the edge of the bed and replied "I am great Baby Girl that I can see you, I missed you at the office today" leaning forward he placed a kiss to her lips before bending down and placing hand and a kiss to her swollen belly and he said "hello in there my little angels" he immediately felt someone kick his hand in response to his voice.
Derek pulled the blankets back and picked Pen up bridal style and carried her downstairs and gently sat her down at the dining table ready for dinner and bought her a nice cup of hot tea, he placed the cup down in front of her and continued what he was doing which was getting everything ready to set the table, Penelope sat there and watched her muscle bound god get plates, glasses, cutlery, placemats and napkins out and lay the table so that they could eat as soon as dinner was ready she could feel herself becoming aroused at the sight of him but she couldn't allow for it to get to her otherwise she would do something that could jeopardize the lives of herself and her unborn baby girls.
By the fourth week of being stuck in bed Pen was ready for this to be all over and done with she wanted to be able to get up and move around the house without anyone following her or helping her, she need to be able to get into the nursery and sort out all their clothing and accessories making sure that everything is washed and that folded and put away in the drawers she was feeling much better, she has a doctors appointment tomorrow so hopefully Dr. Green will allow her to get up and and move around the house but not do anything to strenuous that she would end up back in bed until delivery.
Penelope and Derek arrived at the doctors office for her 32 week check-up, Derek sat Pen in a chair while he went and let the receptionist know that they were there and made his way back to Pen taking the seat beside her he picked up her hand and bought it to his lips and kissed it gently before placing their joined hands in his lap as they waited, 15 minutes passed and the nurse appeared and called "Penelope Garcia-Morgan" Derek stood and help Pen to stand he wrapped her in his arm and they followed the nurse to the weighing area, Pen stepped up on to the scales and was shocked at how much weight she had put on in a month and then the nurse took her blood pressure which was ok but not as good as it had been previously before showing them into the exam room.
While waiting for Dr. Green Penelope began to fidget she was nervous about what Dr. Green would say and what the ultrasound would show, Dr. Green knocked and entered the room she saw Pen with a worried look on her face so she immediately got down to business and started off by asking a few questions "ok Penelope can you tell me how you have been feeling since I saw you last and have you followed all the rules that I gave upon your discharge from hospital" Pen smiled and said "I have been feeling much better since our little scare but I am getting so bored being stuck in bed all the time, I can't get comfortable and my body starts to ache because I am not doing anything and then I have my own personal four legged bodyguard all day every day and yes I have followed all the rules you gave me but boy is that no sex rule a killer especially with a husband like him" pointing in Derek's direction.
Dr. Green laughed and said "well how about we check out what is happening with you and then I may allow you to get up and move about if everything is ok with your girls, now can I get you to lay back for me and lift your shirt" Pen lay back and followed Dr. Green request as Dr. Green grabbed her tape measure and began to measure the fundal height of Pen's belly which measured perfectly for the gestation period with twins writing everything down she took a seat and pulled the ultrasound machine close and applied the gel to Pen's belly and began to look for the tear to make sure that it hadn't gotten worse and then she moved over the twins and they were happy in there moving and pushing each other around she took their measurements and printed pictures for Pen and Derek and said "Penelope you will be happy to know that you no longer have to spend all day in bed you can get up and move around the house but I want you to take it easy, no heavy lifting, no squatting and still definitely NO SEX.
Arriving back at the house Pen was happy that she no longer had to stay in bed she could sit on the couch with her bodyguard now, Clooney knew that he wasn't allowed to jump up on Pen and had not even attempted to jump up on her, he protected her and those babies like his life depended on it and he would continue to do so once the babies were here, knowing Clooney he would sleep in front of the nursery door at night and during the day he would probably sleep near their bassinets downstairs.
Everything was going smoothly Pen had her doctors appointments every two weeks now and she was due for her next one on the 27th November 2013, but her body had other ideas as she lay awake in bed late one morning after Derek had left for the office she began to experiencing cramps similar to the ones she had nearly eight weeks ago but these ones were different they were more like the Braxton Hicks contractions she had been experiencing just two weeks ago, Pen felt her uterus contracting so she turned on her baby monitor and called out "Mamma Morgan I need you upstairs please" the contractions were not painful just yet so she didn't see the need to call Derek yet.
Fran came running up the stairs and into the bedroom she took one look at Pen and said "what is going on" Pen started to reply when another contraction hit she held her finger up as if to say hold on a sec, when the contraction finally ended and she was able to say "I think I maybe in labor" Fran sat down on the side of the bed and pulled the covers back and lifted Pen's shirt to feel her belly and just as she placed a hand on Pen's belly she felt her belly contract beneath her hand and she began to count the duration of the contraction and then when the contraction ended she checked the time that it ended and Pen picked up her iPad that she had sitting on the bedside table and opened her pregnancy app and went to the contraction timer and handed it to Fran ready for the next contraction to start.
Penelope grabbed Fran's hand when the beginning of the next contraction started and Fran started the contraction timer on the iPad, Pen winced at the intensity of the contraction as it ripped through her body upon the contraction ending Pen relaxed and released Fran's hand and Fran stopped the timer she placed the iPad on the bedside table and quickly ran to her room to grab the fetal heart rate doppler and gel that she bought with her and went back into the bedroom squeezing a tiny bit of gel on the end of the doppler she placed the doppler against Pen's belly and began to search for the girls heartbeats, Fran stopped moving the doppler when she heard the whooshing sound of one heartbeat applying a little more gel Fran moved to where the second twin is and began to search for the heartbeat it didn't take long to find the second heartbeat and Fran was relieved that both heartbeats were strong.
Over the next few hours Penelope's contractions began to get stronger and closer together they were now about 8 minutes apart, Pen got up to use the bathroom she had just made into the bathroom when she felt a gush of water run down her legs she turned back towards the door and said "Fran my waters just broke, I think it's time to call Derek and Dr. Green" Pen grabbed hold of the door frame as another contraction began, Fran began getting Pen some clean clothes Pen got changed while Fran called Derek.
Derek answered the phone on the second ring and said "hey Mamma how is everything going" Fran replied "Derek you need to come home NOW, your little angels have decided that they are ready to enter the world Pen is in labor she has been having contractions since this morning and now her waters have broken so we need you" Derek was speechless as he ran around his office gathering everything he needed, finally finding his words he said "ok Mamma tell her I am on my way I will be there as soon as possible" he ran from his office and into Hotch's office and said "Hotch I have to go my Mamma just called and said that Pen is labor I will call you later and let you know what is going on" and he took off heading for the elevator.
