AN: Hey everyone, thank you so much for sticking by me. I know I don't post as much as I did when I first started. I've just had so much going on, and then add in the fact I don't watch the show anymore and haven't for a very long time. Sometimes it is hard to get back into it. But I am going to try and post a little more here and there.

This one goes out to a dear friend of mine. I swear, I don't know what I would do without you some times. You're a rock to me! Love you, always.

BTW, has anyone ever told you, you guys are amazing? Well, let me then. You guys, all of you are so amazing!

Love you all,

Six Weeks Later

Penelope took in the surroundings of the examination room. This had been a long time coming if you asked her. She looked down at her cast and narrowed her eyes. It had caused her so many issues for so long, and it was finally being removed.

She rolled her eyes when she thought back to her honeymoon. Why either of them thought it would have been a good idea to go on their honeymoon while she was still pretty much immobile was beyond her. And, of all places to go, they ended up on the beach in a bungalow. A place she became very acquainted with, seeing as she couldn't even go out to eh water. Something they hadn't thought of why they booked it.

Oh, and the trip there. That was going down as the worst trip in history. They had made sure when they ordered the airline tickets to upgrade so they would have more room for her cast. However, when they arrived at the airport there was a mix-up with their reservation. Not only had they been moved to the back of the plane, they were separated. Penelope ended up with an extremely large man on one side and an overly curious, pain in the butt on her other. She had absolutely zero room on the plane and every time she needed to stretch her leg, one of the other passengers would complain.

It could have been worse, though. Derek had taken the mini seat a few rows behind her. Needless to say, the ride was not her best memory.

Then, when they came to the bungalow, they were assigned to, it finally hit them what a grave mistake that had made. She wasn't even able to hobble to the front door in fear of getting sand in her cast.

In reality, though, that wasn't much of a problem in Derek's eyes. He just scooped her up in his arms and carried her everywhere. She did like that.

And she did get to see the sunset from the window every night. That was a plus.

Besides, Derek really, really took care of her.

Every morning she'd be woken up to him between her legs. No shower was ever taken separately, and if she were being honest, she didn't think she wore clothes the whole time they were there. The only time Derek had even worn the provided robe was when he answered the door for room service.

All in all, it wasn't that bad of a trip. But, she knew it would have been better without the cast. And, as soon as they could get the time away she was booking a new vacation.

"You ready, Baby Girl?" She was jarred out of her thoughts by Derek's words. She turned to look at her husband.

Husband.

Wow, they really had come so far.

She glanced at her leg. In a way, she couldn't really be frustrated with the cast. It helped to finally get her and Derek together. "More than ready, Hot Stuff."

He smiled, before saying, "I'm ready to feel both of your legs wrapped around me without the cast digging in my back." He growled giving her a predatory look.

"Now, Derek, I don't think the cast hindered you that much." She placed a hand on her belly. They had only found out a week ago she was pregnant. Something they were both over the moon about.

Derek looked at her hand placement and smiled bigger than she had ever seen. "No, baby, I think you're right."

"I know I am," she said with a smile. "I know we haven't discussed it yet, but what do you want?"

He looked at her, nothing but love in his eyes. "A big family."

"Derek," she warned.

"No, Pen, I mean it. I want a huge family, so I don't really care if you're caring a boy or girl. As soon as this one comes out, I'm knocking you up again." He looked away thoughtfully, then back to her. "How many are you thinking? Five, six?"

"Derek Morgan," Penelope said as she slapped his arm.

He pulled her into his side kissing the top of her head.

"Hot Stuff," she whispered, lovingly. "I really don't care how many we end up having as long as they are all with you."

"Well they better be with me, young lady. No one else gets to touch my wife." He wrapped his hands around her holding her tightly.

"You know, Derek, our lives have been through so many ups and downs. And, you know I have always believed everything has always happened for a reason." Derek kissed her forehead. "And, right now, I know that everything we have both gone through brought us right here. To this moment."

She felt him laugh. "Well, yeah," he said. "I don't think we could be anywhere else right now. Unless you've had second thoughts of me and Reid trying to cut the cast off of you. I'll make sure he doesn't hurt you, but it could be a fun thing to try." He shrugged.

"Derek!" she scolded as he started to laugh harder.

"I'm just joking, babe. But, you're right. Everything has lead us to right here. You in my arms as my wife, carrying my child." He placed his hand under her chin so she would look up at him. "You're my everything, Penelope Morgan." He leaned into kiss her. She meant to pull away before the kiss got out of hand, but whenever Derek's lips were on her, she seemed to lose all coherent thought.

"Not again."

Penelope jumped back as the doctor made his way into the room.

"You know I should have taken the bet that's going around," he scoffed.

"What bet?" Derek asked.

"The one the nurses have if you'd be making out when I came in here."

Derek burst into a deep laugh. "You know, that could have been easy money for you.

The doctor smirked. "I know." He looked to Penelope. "You ready for this?"

"More than ever."

"Alrighty then. Let's get this sucker off." She felt her eyes widen as he pulled out the saw.

AN: My beautiful readers. I do have one more part to this story. It's going to be a small epilogue. Nothing super big. It's just something I have wanted to put into this story since I came up with the idea. Are you excited for it? Maybe we will have a little "fun" time in there too. I haven't really thought about it.
