A Welcomed Surprise-Ch 14
About an hour later everybody was gathered around the huge picnic tables and were eating, Penelope reached to get some chips and Frans eyes caught sight of the engagement ring. Fran said, "is that what I think it is"?, Penelope bit down on her bottom lip and said, "hotstuff proposed and I accepted", the air was then filled with the squeals of congratulations.
Dave said, "congratulations kitten", Mia looked at him and said, "nonno"?, he looked down at her and said, "yes sweetheart"?, she said, "momma no kitten, her momma". Dave said, "kitten is a nickname like the way I call you bambina", she laughed and said, "dat funny" and then continued eating her hotdog and chips.
Hotch said, "congrats you two, it's about time that you finally got together", Derek said, "now that I've got her I'm never letting her go", Reid said, "good now I believe that I won the bet". Derek and Penelope looked at each other and then at Reid and said, "WHAT BET" in unison", JJ said, "welllllll we might have made a little bet".
Derek said, "might have or did"?, Emily said, "welllllllllllll we did", Fran said, "I bet that you wouldn't get together until Christmas so I lost big time" causing Derek to put his hand over his heart and say, "my own mother bet against me". Dave said, "well son you've got her now and that's all that counts, right"?, Derek kissed Penelope on the lips and said, "that's right" causing Penelope to grin and wink at him before taking a bite of her chips.
The next long while was spent talking about what kind of wedding Penelope wanted and she told them right down to the colors in her bouquets what she had always dreamed of. Emily said, "and with you taking your time to plan everything out we'll make sure that you have everything that you've ever wanted".
As the sun went down Reid looked over and saw the trio of munchkins cuddled up sleeping on the blanket that Emily had laid on the ground, he said, "well it looks like it's about time for us to head home". Derek said, "awwww look how precious" and pulled out his cell and snapped a few pictures and then put his cell back in his pocket.
Penelope said, "I'll carry her upstairs and get her ready for bed", Derek said, "it's ok sweetness I'll do it", she said, "are you sure"?, he kissed her lips and said, "yep, I'll tuck her in and then be back down". She winked at him and said, "okay handsome" and then she watched as he walked over and picked the little girl up.
Her eyes opened up and she yawned and said, "hiiiiii daddy", she then laid her head down on his shoulder and he kissed the top of her head and said, "hi princess, are you ready for bed"?, she didn't say anything but nodded her head yes. Derek walked over and let Penelope and the others grab a quick kiss before heading upstairs to put their princess to bed.
Derek hadn't realized that he had been upstairs for quite a while until he felt Penelopes arm wrapping around him, he said, "sorry baby girl, I was just watching her sleep, I guess I lost track of time". Penelope sighed happily and said, "it's fine hotstuff, I do it myself, I find myself staring at her when she sleeps".
Derek turned around and kissed her lips passionately and said, "one baby girl tucked in and one to go", Penelope intertwined their fingers and said, "promises promises". Derek laughed and said, "come on goddess let me show you how much I love you", she smiled and said, "lead the way sugar shack, lead the way".
They turned and took one final look at Mia and then Penelope said, "good nigh sweetie, mommy loves you", Derek turned the night light on and closed the door halfway and then said, "now where were we"?, she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "hmmmm I believe you were going to show me how much you loved me".
He picked her up and carried her to their bedroom and did just that all night long
