Revenge-Ch 14
Sarah smiled as she slowly slipped from the room to give Penelope, Derek and the baby some alone time, when she walked out into the waiting room Julia smiled and said, "well how are Penelope and the little one?, Sarah smiled and said, "they are doing great, I came out to give them some time alone, it is getting about time for them to take the baby to weigh and measure him".
Fran smiled as she hugged Sarah and said, "I want to thank you for taking such good care of my daughter in law and my grandson", she grinned and said, "I'm just glad that I was able to help them". Sarah then walked over and sat down beside Julia and said, "they should be moving her to her room in a little bit and then we can all go and see her and the baby".
After holding their son for a few minutes Derek happily handed him over to Penelope, she kissed his little head and said, "mommy loves you little man", she then counted his 10 little fingers and his 10 little toes as Derek stood there smiling down at her. The doctor smiled and said, "we need to take him for a few minutes and get him weighed and measured and then we will bring him to you in your room".
Penelope kissed her son one final time before handing the baby to the nurse, after the baby was out of the room the doctor said, "alright Penelope I'm going to go ahead and get you sewed up so that way the nurses can clean you up before we move you to your room". Derek kissed her lips gently and said, "goddess I'm going to step out and let the doctor do her work and we will see you in your room".
The doctor smiled and said, "she will be in room 222", he grinned as he turned and walked to the door, before he walked out Penelope said, "where did Sarah get off to handsome"?, he laughed and said, "she is probably out in the waiting room with Julia and the team". Penelope smiled and said, "ohhhhhh handsome can you please ask them to stay I would like to thank them again for everything they did for me and the baby".
He winked at her and said, "I most definitley will my love, I want to thank them both again for saving my baby girl and my baby boy", Penelope grinned and said, "I love you handsome". Derek sighed happily for the first time since Penelope and the baby had been taken and said, "I love you to beautiful", he then turned around and headed out of the room.
When Derek walked over to join everybody he laughed and said, "they will bring Penelope and the baby to room 222 in a little bit so that way we can all spend some time with them". He turned and looked at Sarah and Julia and said, "Penelope would love to get to see the two of you", Julia smiled and said, "I would love to stay and see her and the baby".
Sarah smiled and said, "I'm not going anywhere", Derek sat down beside Julia and said, "I am so thankful that you were on that piece of road today Julia and you were able to help Penelope and Sarah". Julia grinned and said, "I am usually out that way several times a week, I go to the cemetary to visit my husbands grave", Derek sat back and said, "how long were the two of you married, if you don't mind me asking"?, she put her hand on his arm and said, "honey I don't mind at all".
She took a deep breath and said, "Michael and I were married for almost 55 years before he was called home, we have 6 children and 18 grandchildren and I wouldn't take anything for our life together". Derek smiled and said, "Michael sounds like an amazing man and it sounds like you two had a great life together", Julia looked up at him and said, "we had a wonderful life together and I hope that you and Penelope have as wonderful a life together as Michael and I had".
Derek hugged Julia and said, "thank you Julia, thank you so much", Julia wiped a tear away and said, "your Penelope is a very strong woman, I can see alot of me in her, that's for sure". Derek kissed her on the cheek and said, "my baby girl is the strongest woman I have ever met and I don't know what I would do without her", Julia then patted his hand and said, "how long have you and Penelope been married"?, he smiled and said, "we have been married almost 2 years but we have been friends for 8 prior to us getting together".
Julia laughed and Derek looked at her and she said, "you and Penelope sound like me and my Michael, we were friends for years, I loved him from the first day I met him but I was afraid to ruin our friendship, I was afraid that he didn't feel the same buttttttt he definitley proved to me that his feelings for me were the same as mine for him and thus started our almost 55 years together".
The next few minutes passed by as they all sat there laughing and talking and before they knew it the nurse was walking over toward them, Derek stood up and the nurse smiled and said, "your wife and son are in her room if you would like to go on up". Derek smiled and said, "I am sooooo ready", they all laughed as they stood up and headed toward the elevator.
As Derek looked down at Julia and what a huge part of the rescue she had been, he knew exactly what his sons first name should be
