"Derek please?" Pen asked sitting on their couch with Clooney, and she was giving him her pout, had been for the last three days. She wanted something and he knew she'd pout till she got it, but he also knew that he wasn't going to give in.
"No, and you keep pouting I'll send you back to the bedroom," he said.
"Derek," She whined, "I want on my computer," she finally yelled, "You are not keeping me from it any more, now give it here, and you won't get hurt," Pen said.
"Baby girl, no stress means you not getting on the computer, I know you, you'll want to work, and no means no," Derek said, "Now I have to go help Jess with her homework, homeschooling them is fun till you gotta give them tests," he said with a sigh before he picked up the math book he'd been looking through so he could give her some sample problems before the test, "And stay off mine too," he added going up stairs.
"Damn it," Pen groaned before she got up off the couch and went upstairs to their bedroom slamming the door shut after Clooney was inside with her, "Okay, buddy if you were a Macintosh labtop where would you be located?" she asked going around the room looking for her other prized possession.
Clooney went and laid down under the bed knowing it was going to be a firing zone soon. He knew that one of his masters was about to start throwing stuff about, and he wanted away from it. He also found under the bed being little more crowded than he last remembered. He took hold of the thing that was in his way dragging it out from under the bed and laying it at Penelope's feet before barking and then going back under the bed.
Penelope was about to start moving stuff, when she felt something move beside her, she looked down and squealed, "Clooney you are the best dog in the world," she said, "You found my baby," she said with another squeal of delight, "Come on out boy, I want to give you a hug and a kiss," she said picking up the laptop bag.
Clooney hesitantly came out from under the bed before the bedroom door opened and Derek came in, "Clooney, why do you keep giving it back to her?" Derek asked, "Boy this is getting harder to hide it, he said.
"You come near my computer again, and I'll have you tied to that bed and I will have sex with you, doctor's orders can be fucked," Pen said holding her laptop to her chest.
Clooney went back under the bed hiding, he knew that Derek probably wasn't happy right now, and the battle was going to start again, poor boy was stuck in the middle of it, but he wasn't letting his other master suffer either.
"Baby girl, you don't need to be stressed," Derek said.
"Says the man who keeps hiding my laptop and making our poor baby suffer through finding it again and again," Pen said, "You know that Clooney's going to find this for me, he's found it every time you've hidden it, he even got it out the truck after barking for an hour and Nick finally couldn't take it and opened the door,"
"Penelope, you are not going to check your emails, I mean it," Derek said.
"Yes I am," she said, "Come on Clooney; we're going where Derek cannot bother us, and if you follow me I will have you on that bed in no time," she warned before leaving the room again with Clooney.
Derek groaned, he should have known that his mischievous baby girl and boy would go and find it again, then again he'd gotten smart this time, he'd blocked her email so she couldn't get in, then again she was a hacker, it would take time, "I just can't win," he said before going back to the room that was their library and finishing what he'd started with Jess.

"Mom found the computer again I see," Jessica said, "You should know by now that Clooney is on her side right now," she laughed.
"Yeah yeah, you just do these practice problems and then I'll give you the test," Derek said.
"Whatever, oh and mom's going to find all those pics you got of certain blonde," Jess said, "You put your computer in the bag not hers," she said.
"What?" Derek asked,
"Yeah I never in my life wanted to see mom naked, I mean you let me borrow the computer for my power point thing I had to do, the pictures were on mom's computer not yours and when I clicked on certain thing, got ton of pics of mom," Jess said, "You scared me for life," she said.
"Next time don't snoop," Derek said, "I could care less if she found them, long as she's not using her email I'm fine," he said.
"I don't snoop thank you very much," Jessica said, "Somebody needs to keep his porn hidden better," she said.
"You take after your mother, you snoop all the time," Derek said, "While you're doing this I'm going to check over that paper you were supposed to write," he said.
"About that," Jess said.
"Jessica Morgan, if you don't start doing this outside of the three hours you're supposed to be doing school work in here, I'm going to make it longer," Derek said, "Try five hours, and those extra two hours will be done on the weekends before you do anything," he said.
"That's not fair," Jess protested, "Danni and Ty don't have three hours in here, they only have an hour, and that's not fair," she complained.
"Because they do their work outside of the time I give them in here, I don't have to sit in here and make sure they're doing their work," Derek said, "You do everything but if I leave you alone," he said.
"No I don't," Jess whined.
"Like now, you're supposed to be doing those practice problems, and you're complaining about hours spent doing work, if you spent more time on homework you would be making better grades on these things," he said.
"Dad, I make B's I have always made at least A's or B's," Jess said, "I made the honor roll and everything when I was in school," she said.
"Yes, but how many times did we get a call said you'd be in dentition?" he asked her.
Jess didn't say anything else instead she got to work on the ten problems in front of her with a groan, she knew that her dad was right, but she refused to spend her time doing what she hated.

Nick and Desiree were in the garage apartment, Des was doing the decorating and Nick was trying to finish the shower. It had taken a while longer to get everything ready, and since Derek was busy trying to keep Pen away from the computer, and stop her from doing everything she wanted to, including sex which they both thought was funny.
Penelope opened the apartment door before letting Clooney go in, then she went over to the kitchen table plugged the laptop in and sat down, "If I want to check my email I'm going to check it," she fumed, "Nobody is telling me what I can and can't do," she went on, "I am not a shut in, I will do what I want, this baby is going to be born, and it will be healthy I know that, and if I want to get on my other baby I will," she was pissed, and by the time she got to the fourth rant Desiree and Nick came out of the bathroom.
"What are you going on about?" Des asked.
"Your brother, he won't let me do a damn thing," Pen said.
"Sis, he's got every right, the doctor said don't stress your self out," Nick said.
"Screw that doctor, I want on my computer," Pen said before she started crying, "I want my computer," she said.
"You got your computer," Des said going to her sister, "Or my crazy brother switched yours for his," she said seeing the picture of Penelope and the kids as the picture at the start menu, and she knew it was Derek's, "Nick, go and get her computer tell him that you need to use it,"
"And have him yell at me, no thank you," Nick said, "I'll be in the bathroom finishing what I started," he said.
"Nick Wells, you will go and get her computer, or I will be kicking your ass," Desiree said, "Don't think I can't either, my brother taught me how to fight years ago," she said.
"What is it with you Morgan's you always use violence," Nick asked, "First I'm threatened by Derek if I don't keep my sister's laptop, then Pen threatens me if I don't hand it over, now you're doing the same," he said.
"Then give me my laptop," Pen yelled out, "or the first thing I'll do is make sure you are stuck at your desk for a month with all the paper work," she said.
"Okay now that is just wrong," Nick said before he opened one the cabinets, "Don't say I didn't do anything for you," he said.
"You always give in to me," Pen replied.
"Yeah because you always threaten to wipe me off this planet," Nick said.
"It works too," Pen said swiping the laptops before she got on hers with a sigh of relief.
"Now don't you go doing any work," Desiree said, "Or I'll take it from you."
"I'd love to see that," Pen said, "You don't want to mess with a mother bear and her baby," she said.
"Damn it was a joke," Des said backing away, "We know nothing and we saw nothing," she said going back to what she'd been doing and dragging Nick with her.
Pen smiled before she brought her computer up and went right to her email sending one first to Derek about not touching her stuff if he wanted to have many more kids because she would hurt him if he dared do it again. Then she sent one to the rest of the team telling them she was going insane and if somebody didn't come by soon then she was going to be at the office the following day.
"I'm sick and tired of this shit, nobody has even called, what is the matter?" she asked, "If Derek told you to let me rest then I better see somebody here, or I will be there," she looked the thing over before sending it out with a sigh of relief she went online to play her RPG game.

JJ and Reid were the first two to show up that afternoon, they decided to come and visit in pairs so it wouldn't be as stressful. However Penelope wasn't having it. "Nope, not going to work," she said, "I want everybody here," she said.
"Baby girl why are you being difficult," Derek asked.
"Why, because apparently I got pregnant and you took over my life," she yelled.
"I did not, I did not tell them to stay away, they just got back," Derek said.
"He's right, we've been on a case for the last two weeks," JJ said.
"Stay out this kitten, this is between Derek and me," Pen said, before turning back to her husband, "You took my laptop, you won't let me walk around hardly, I'm bound to that bed like I'm dying," she said before the tears started, "I won't be treated like some sick patient, I am pregnant I'm not dying," she said before leaving the room in tears.
"Derek what the hell were you thinking?" JJ asked.
"I didn't do anything but take the computer, she kept trying to do work, and I can't monitor her and Jessica too, they are both driving me nuts," Derek said, "One is constantly throwing tantrums, the other won't do anything," he said.
"Guessing Jessica is not throwing tantrums," Reid said.
"No, Pen is, and I'm trying to keep her safe, and the baby, I don't' want to lose this one too," Morgan said, "I lost two already, and if we lose a third, then we might as well give up," he said.
"You can't say that," JJ said.
"The doc already said her chances of getting pregnant again are slim, and she's already at risk of losing this baby too," he said, "I can't bury another kid," Derek shouted, "I've already buried two," he added before he left the room.
Penelope flinched, she hadn't made it to their bedroom when she heard Derek's last words, and she went to their bedroom and went to the bed. She laid down pulling the covers over her head and started sobbing, she didn't want to lose the baby, and she couldn't take being told what to do, but she didn't want to hurt Derek too.
"I hope Pen didn't hear him," Reid said.
"The dead could have heard him," JJ said before she went after Derek.

"I should have known I'd find you here," JJ said sitting down beside Derek, "You know she probably heard you," she said.
"I didn't mean to yell at you," Derek said looking at the pond, "We didn't technically bury our first child that died, didn't know if it was a boy or girl either, the baby died three months in to the pregnancy," he said, "We fought for weeks after that, I kept blaming myself, if I'd been around more, if I hadn't started at the bomb squad," he said, "She blamed her self, she'd been teaching computer classes at the high school we'd went to, and taking college classes for her master's degree," Derek said.
"Too much stress?" JJ asked.
"No, she just had a miscarriage, the doctor said it was common sometimes, but it took us a long time to try again," he said looking at the cross which was a headstone it had Baby Morgan written on it with the date they'd found out that was the conception, and the date of death, "Pen didn't want any more kids at first after that, but she got pregnant with Tyler, and she didn't do nothing, she stayed in the bed most the time, she refused to let another baby die because she did too much," Morgan said wiping the tears away.
"I'm sorry, you two have never talked about the two kids you lost," JJ said, "I couldn't imagine losing a baby," she added.
"After we had Tyler we decided to keep trying, we had Danielle, and then she got pregnant right before we moved her, while we were undercover," Derek said, "The baby died few weeks before the FBI busted us for doing our job," he said, "We had him cremated, Pen didn't want to put him in the ground, she wanted to hold on to him forever, and I didn't want to let him go either, we spent seven months waiting to see him, and he died two months before he was supposed to be born," he said.
"The head stones are beautiful," JJ said, one was a cross, and the second one was a headstone in the shape of an Angel with a little boy, "What did you name him?" she asked.
"Derek Junior, or DJ for short," Derek said, "I just can't watch her go through losing another child, it was hard on us all, but it hurt her more, she wouldn't get out of bed for weeks, and Jess refused to leave her," he said, "Tyler and Danni was so young they didn't understand, and Danni was only two, Ty was about four, I had to take care of them till she came around again," he replied, "Watching your wife withdraw from everything, including her kids, is the worst thing ever."
"Maybe you should talk to her, tell her how you feel about her stressing herself out," JJ offered, "Without shouting and taking the computer away," she added.
"Nick took the computer, I just kept hiding it," Derek said, "But Clooney didn't want us to keep it, he kept taking it back to her," he said with a smile, "He used to curl up in the bed beside her when I wasn't home back in Chicago, we got him as a gift the year we lost DJ," he said, "Our friend Gerald gave him to Pen, he said that she needed him more than he did, plus he moved to Jamaica that year didn't want to take the puppy with him," Derek replied.
"So that's how you got him," JJ said with smile.
"Yeah, and he's a wonderful over grown puppy, but he always choices Penelope's side if we're having an argument, like now, he's always with her," he said.
They sat there for few more minutes talking about the past before Derek got up, "Going to talk to her?" JJ asked.
"Yeah, I gotta make this right," Derek said, "You coming?"
"Nah, I'm going to sit here a while, visit with these two," she said.
Derek smiled at her before thanking her, "My mom's usually the one kicking my ass, but thanks, I needed a reminder," he said before he left going to make things right with his baby girl.

Derek went into the bedroom finding Penelope laying in the bed, he pulled the covers back after he took his clothes off leaving his boxers on crawling under the covers with her, "I'm sorry, I never meant to hurt you," Pen said rolling over.
"It's my fault, I was so worried about the baby I forgot that you needed some care too, and not just laying around," Derek said running his hand over her side.
"We're both horny too," Penelope added, "no sex in three months, and we got two and half months to go before this baby comes, and then another six weeks," she said with a sigh, "I'm sorry I'm being difficult, I don't mean to be, but I just want to do something, I'm going crazy," she said.
"How about I ask JJ and Des to plan that baby shower they have wanted to give you?" Derek asked.
"I don't want to have one then this baby…" Pen started but Derek cut her off.
"Maybe we should have the baby shower, after all I have a feeling that we're going to have this little one," he said kissing her.
"I have that feeling too," Pen replied back snuggling up in his arms, "So we have the baby shower next month, and then March I have this baby, then by the end of April we can have sex right?" she asked.
"Probably," he said before he kissed her, "Then again, I'm thinking, if you're really good," he added with another kiss, "I'm sure that we can do something," he said with smile.
"Yes we can," Penelope said before she kissed him back.
