Due to popular demand in the reviews, here's this next installment. I hope it turns out how everyone had pictured.
Chapter 14.
DJ sat patiently in the waiting area for his girlfriend Kylie to come out of the dressing room to show off her new clothes. Now 5 months pregnant, her original clothes have become too snug or no longer fit. She picked out a few of her already faves in a bigger size as well as a couple of maternity jeans. Not liking the way the jeans looked on her she just opted to the choice of every color pair of leggings. It was fall/winter season so it worked out perfect for her to wear leggings, a big tee, coat, leg warmers and boots.
"Ready to go?" DJ asked her after paying for her items.
He had arm wrapped around her waist as he stood beside her. Kylie looked up at him and pushed a smile to her face. She nodded and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek.
They left the store and continued their walk through the shopping mall. The smell of food wafted into their noses. Though Kylie was starving, she wasn't really a fan of food because it made her sick. She covered her mouth with her hand and DJ noticed. He made sure to walk them quicker past the food court.
In the backseat of the Uber car they were being driven in Kylie laid her head in DJ's lap as she had drifted off to sleep. DJ stroked her hair unconsciously and stared out the window at the passing cars. It was raining outside which didn't add a positive flow to his mood. Staring out the window DJ couldn't get the worried feeling out his gut of being caught with the drugs he been selling, and the reaction he was going to receive from his parents once they knew the mistake he made. Not calling his child a mistake but it sure as hell wasn't a plan. The driver stopped at a red light and gazed at the couple in his middle mirror.
"How far along is she?" The man asked.
DJ shooken from his thoughts cleared his throat before speaking. "5 months yesterday."
"Ah" he paused. "Boy or girl?"
Hearing the man ask that, DJ couldn't help but wonder himself. He pictured having a little girl who looked just like his girlfriend. He didn't mind that, she was beautiful. He prayed whatever the sex of the baby was would have her eyes, -light green.
The car went over a speed bump which brought DJ back to present. He wasn't sure how long he took before answering the man but he finally told him that they didn't know the sex of the baby yet, wanting it to be a surprise, so waiting for the day of delivery.
Arriving at DJ's house, he paid the driver and woke up his girlfriend. He carried her weight leaned up against him as they walked to the front door. Once inside DJ helped her up the stairs to his room. After shutting his door he say Kylie on the bed and pulled her shirt off over her head. Next he knelt down and pulled off her ankle high boots. Standing back up he was greeted by his girlfriends cleavage sitting up right in her red laced bra. His breath caught in his throat and he had to close his eyes for a moment to tamp down his all a sudden raging boner.
"No DJ, remember, this is what got you stuck in this situation in the 1st place. Get ahold of yourself." His inner thoughts told him.
Opening his eyes again, he looked up and locked eyes with Kylie. She still had that sleepy look in her eyes but slightly dreamy. She was beautiful. Kylie leaned forward and kissed DJ on the forehead. He waited for a silent approval which she nodded to him. DJ reached behind her to unhook her bra. He cupped her now full breast since the pregnancy and kissed in the valley as well as lick. He could make love to her breast and would still get off.
He spent awhile there in that position, sucking kissing and licking at his girlfriend breasts. Kylie hung her head back and held onto her boyfriends head as she moaned.
The house was empty and DJ was sure no one would be home anytime soon. His sister Tara was at a friends house for a sleepover. His dad was in the state of Montana on a case, so of course his mother was going to have a long night at the BAU.
Now DJ and Kylie moved into the center of the bed. He laid her on her back and hovered over her careful not to lay against her. He didn't wanna risk crushing their unborn child. DJ positioned himself at her opening and pushed in. Both of them sighing in satisfaction at the connection.
Exchanging sweet words to one another as well as moans and muffled screams DJ and Kylie made love into the night.
Talking on the phone with Derek, Penelope had accidentally fallen asleep in her office at the BAU that night. Now morning, she had a couple of hours to spare. She decided to go home as soon as possible so she could get a shower in and a change of new clothes.
Walking up the stairs inside her house she knocked lightly on her son's door. After a moment and no answer she pushed open his door quietly. There laying was DJ and Kylie wrapped up in one another. Love and warmth swelled in Penelope's heart seeing her son and his girlfriend. They looked so adorable.
Garcia should have been upset, assuming that once again they had had sex under her roof but she'll let it slide this time. They already did damage. Penelope closed the door and proceeded to her rooms bathroom where she got into the shower.
10 minutes later Kylie was woken up out of her sleep. She slid from DJ's grasp and pulled on his T shirt. Sitting up right and leaning over some to control her queasy stomach she turned green. Feet hitting the ground, Kylie dashed out the room to the bathroom down the hallway. Making it on time she up chucked the little contents in her stomach from the day before.
Penelope stepping out of the shower at the time heard the puking sound coming from the hallway bathroom. Throwing on her robe she hurried out of her room to the bathroom where Kylie on her knees was hovering over the porcelain bowl.
Penelope knelt beside her and held back Kylie's hair and rubbed large circles on her back humming a soothing tone into the room. Whenever her kids were sick throwing up humming is what she did and it seemed to always work. So she figured in this moment it might help some knowing the situation was entirely different.
Finishing up Kylie looked over at Penelope with terrified eyes. Penelope caught on and assured her it was okay and that she knew about the pregnancy. A confused Kylie didn't have the head strength the ask her how but instead choked a cry which turned to sobs. Penelope rocked them backward against the wall so she could hold Kylie in her arms.
Kylie broke down in that moment. She had a lot going on and she finally was able to release it. Her aunt had found out about her pregnancy and called her a slut and kicked her out. Now homeless she stayed with her best friend Lisa. Lisa's parents made it clear to her though that as soon as the baby arrives she couldn't stay there because they simply wouldn't have enough room. School was getting more and more stressful by the day, with her baby bump starting to show, kids and teachers were beginning to give her dirty looks and point a finger at how in the wrong she was for getting pregnant. It all was becoming to much. DJ told her to ignore it but that was way easier said than done. Kylie wasn't aware that her boyfriend was selling drugs to make money so she was stressing about the thought of being broke with no shelter to raise her child as well.
Telling Penelope all of this later on as they sat downstairs in the living room sipping a cup of tea Kylie felt a little better. Penelope didn't scold or lecture her about it which she assumed would come. Actually Penelope was the 1st person to show compassion, love, support, and make her smile and be happy to look forward to the birth of her unborn child.
DJ awakening 2 hours later he rolled onto his back and reached over to his side for the warmth of his girlfriend. Realizing she wasn't there, panic set in. Jumping out of bed DJ slid into the hallway. Peeking over the upstairs banister down into the living room he seen his mom and girlfriend sitting and talking. More panic set in and alarms went off in his head.
"What was she doing! Is she trying to drawl attention to herself!" He though to himself as he re entered his room and pulled on a shirt along with some sweatpants.
Walking down the stairs quietly DJ joined the room with his two favorite ladies. The room went quiet and Kylie looked slightly worried. Worried about DJ being upset with her for his mom finding out.
"Morning" he mumbled making way to sit next to Kylie who he unconsciously pulled into his arms.
Penelope noticed the gestured and smiled on the inside. Her son was so adorable it made her heart swim. She knew what those small gestures meant. Her and Derek were like that when they 1st fell in love. Still unconsciously touching and holding each other whenever they could.
Penelope sat her cup down on a coaster on the coffee table. DJ kissed Kylie on the side of her head before letting his head fall back against the couch.
"Derek" Penelope said lightly.
That name made DJ's head jerk up. He looked at his mom long and hard while Penelope stayed quiet and stared back at him with soft sympathetic eyes.
After awhile his stare softened and soon he deflated some and rolled his neck. "You know don't you?"
Penelope nodded conformation.
DJ groaned to himself not realizing it was out loud. He felt his mother place her hand on his knee.
"My boy, my sweet boy." She said lovingly. "Why didn't you tell me?"
DJ cocked his head to the side and looked at her like she was crazy. Penelope caught on to his look and tried placing herself in his shoes. It was a stupid question. Before she could rephrase her question DJ began talking.
"Because we haven't been the closest of friend in the past year and as soon you were comfortable with calling me by my nickname again this happens." He says quietly. "Believe me mom, every ounce of me wanted to tell you. I didn't wanna keep this from you."
Penelope accepts his answer than ponders for a bit before asking her next question
"But your father?"
DJ shifted uncomfortably and shook his head not meeting her eyes.
Kylie rubbed DJ's back for comfort. Her herself understood DJ's feelings to an extent. Penelope was a easy free spirited woman. Derek on the other hand was a hard ass, drilled, and definitely going to kill DJ.
Penelope sat up straight and pondered for a moment thinking about DJ's words. She didn't wanna lie to her son and assure him that Derek was going to be completely fine with this. Yeah he had no choice because liking it or not the baby was coming but Penelope knew for sure Derek was going to be furious. In that moment she felt sorry for her son.
"I'm sorry Deej." She shook her head and gave him a sympathetic look. "You know your father as well as me. This is not gonna go over well, but you're going to have to tell him soon. I cannot do this one for you. That'll only make matters worse if he finds out from me, or worse someone else." She told her son firmly.
DJ thought about it for a minute before nodding in agreement.
Kylie hugged DJ. "Baby we can do this. We have to do this soon. Let's be honest, don't you feel 30% lighter knowing that our secret is out. I know I do. And it feels good."
She looked up at Penelope and silently mouthed a "thank you."
DJ stood up and Penelope stood up too.
"Mom, I'm really sorry for doing this to you. I know you had so much planned for me and seen a different future for me but this is happening now and I promise on my life I will not disappoint you. Me and Kylie are in love and though we did not plan a child we plan to raise it with love and devotion as much as you and dad did with me and Tara. I learned from the best two people on that subject. I don't want you to feel in any way like this is your fault or that you failed me because you didn't. If anything you guys paved a way for me. I looked up to y'all for years. I see the passion you two have for one another and I wanted a piece of that." He turned to Kylie who was still sitting on the couch with one hand on her belly. DJ reached a hand out to her which she took into hers. He looked into his mothers eyes again which were blury with tears ready to fall. "I'm young but I found that. We moved fast because we're on our way to the next journey with each other already but please don't give up on us."
Penelope was speechless. She wiped her cheek from tears and hugged her son tightly.
"I love you Derek Jr. I would never give up on you. I won't lie and say I'm not disappointed because I am, only because I know you and Kylie are smart and yes you did make a error but greatness is coming from it so I can't be too upset. I love you both and I can't wait to meet my 1st grandchild."
By now Kylie was standing too and the 3 of them were hugging in the living room. They agreed to keep quiet about it a little longer from Tara and Derek but planned to spill the beans soon.
Later that night after DJ and Penelope drove Kylie to her friends where she was staying, Penelope told her son she would be in the house in a minute. DJ placed his hand on top of hers and gave it a squeeze before exiting the car and walking into the house.
Penelope leaned her seat back some and closed her eyes. A few tears slid down her eyes before she wiped them away. She picked up her phone and called JJ.
"Pen?"
"Hey", she spoke softly.
JJ sat up in her hotel bed bringing her knees to her chest. She could feel the stress rolling off of Penelope in that voice still.
"Whats wrong? Are you okay?" JJ asked calmly
The line was quiet for a moment and JJ was about to ask if she were still there.
"He told me. DJ told me about the baby." She paused. "He's happy, nervous, but mostly scared." And that last word scared Penelope. She began to cry quietly and JJ picked up on it immediately.
JJ cooed shushes to Garcia over the line to settle her. She didn't want her friend upset like this.
"It's understandable that he's afraid Pen. If I remember you and Derek were afraid a couple of months in on your pregnancy. 1st time parenting is scary."
Penelope shook her head. "No no Jayje, it's not that scared. I'm talking about he's scared of Derek, and how he's going to react. And honestly, I'm scared too."
JJ was quiet and didn't know what to say to that. Derek was harsh. Not to make him sound like a bad person because he's not but with a subject like this with anyone he would be harsh to them about making poor choices etc. so for it to be so close to home like this JJ and Penelope were sure he'd be even more harsh.
Penelope continued to cry for a bit and JJ sat on the other line for support. It broke her hear that her son was afraid of his father. Derek was a soft and cuddly teddy bear, but he was great at giving "tough love." The thought of that made her cringe because she didn't want this to go bad. She eventually pulled it together and exited the car to go inside.
"Don't you worry Garcie, we'll all get through this." Was the last words JJ said.
