A Welcomed Surprise-Ch 11
When Derek came home a little while later he couldn't help but smile as he saw his baby girls both peacefully sleeping in front of the tv on the couch. Mia was so cute snuggled up to Penelope, her purple outfit went so good with her darker skin color.
Penelope kept her arms wrapped protectively around her daughter while they slept to keep her safe, Derek took a deep breath and just looked at how beautiful Penelope was. He had always dreamed of being with Penelope and making a life with her and now it seemed his dreams were coming true.
As he looked down at Mia he grinned as he held out his hand comparing their darkness of their hands, Derek was a shade darker than Mia and Mia was a shade or two darker than Penelope so people would have no idea that Mia wasn't his.
Penelope started moving around and she opened her eyes and said, "how long have you been here"?, Derek kissed her lips and said, "long enough to get to watch my favorite girls napping". Penelope yawned and said, "how did the meeting with Hotch go"?, he said, "it was good, how was the visit with Anita"?, Penelope smiled and said, "good, we still have a few more visits but Anita said that in a couple of months everything would be settled and we would be free to adopt Mia".
Derek said, "I still can't believe that I'm getting everything I've ever dreamed of, I'm getting you and a beautiful daughter". Penelope kissed the top of her daughters head and ruffled her hair and said, "she's really precious, I can't imagine my life without her or you".
Derek kissed her lips and said, "we'll neither of us is going anywhere", Penelope winked at him and said, "so what was this meeting with Hotch about"?, Derek said, "I asked for some time off". Penelope said, "time off, for what"?, he said, "a honey moon".
Penelope said, "w w what"?, Derek said, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you and Mia, I've been waiting for years to finally be with you and now that we're together I want it to last forever". Penelope said, "y y you really want to marry me"?, he said, "the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned" causing her to smile.
Penelope then watched as he pulled out a little black box, her heart started racing and she said to herself, "is this really happening, is he really proposing"?, Derek dropped to one knee and opened the box and smiled up at her. Derek said, "baby girl will you do me the honor of making an honest man out of me"?, with tears streaming down her face she said, "yes Derek ohhhhh yes" he kissed her lips and said, "I love you" as he slid the ring on her finger.
Derek grinned as she said, "I love you to hotstuff", Mia woke up and said, "momma why you cwyin"?, Penelope put Mia in her lap and said, "well these are happy tears princess, very happy tears". Mia looked at her and said, "happy teaws"?, Derek said, "that's right princess, daddy just asked mommy to marry him and spend the rest of her life with him".
Mia wrapped one arm around Dereks neck and the other around Penelopes and squealed, "yayyyyyyyyyyy" causing both Derek and Penelope to grin and say, "yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy" with her. Mia then jumped down and ran over to Clooney and said, "Cwooney Cwooney momma and daddy dettin mawwied", Derek and Penelope laughed when Clooney stood up on his hind legs and started barking, letting them know that he was happy.
Derek said, "I can't believe it", Penelope said, "what handsome" as she looked down at her beautiful engagement ring, Derek said, "that we're engaged, that we're going to spend the rest of our lives together with Mia, it's like everything is finally falling into place for us". Penelope cupped his face in her hands and said, "well it's about time don't ya think handsome"?, he kissed her lips gently and said, "definitely goddess, definitlely" as he leaned in and pressed his lips against hers again.
