Why-Ch 21
On the way back to Fran and Rossis place Dereks cell started beeping, he pulled it off of his belt and saw it was a text from Hotch, Penelope said, "is something wrong hotstuff"?, he said, "nope, it's from Hotch he's inviting everybody over to a barbecue at his place". Penelope said, "ohhhh that sounds good, a family barbecue and momma is starving".
Derek put his hand on her stomach and said, "well then let's feed my future wife and child shall we"?, as he then hit the turnoff that lead to the Hotchners address. Penelope smiled and said, "I still can't believe it, I can't believe that we're going to have a baby", Derek said, "believe it goddess and our little boy or girl is going to be the luckiest baby in the world because he or she is getting you for a momma".
She put her hand on his and said, "this little boy girl is going to be lucky because you are their daddy", he laughed and said, "this baby growing inside you is going to be spoiled rotten". She laughed and said, "ohhhh without a doubt hotstuff, without a doubt, I mean between your mom and sisters and the rest of our family that was certain beautiful, that was for certain".
As they pulled into the driveway and climbed out of their SUV they looked around to see Reid and JJ pulling in behind them, when Reid got out of the car Derek said, "how are you doing pretty boy"?, Reid said, "well actually a lot better we just came back from a therapy session". Derek wrapped his arm around Reids shoulder and said, "I'm glad you're doing better".
JJ got Henry out of the back seat and then watched as Henry ran past them and headed straight toward Jack, Penelope smiled and said, "how are you sunshine"? as she pulled JJ into her arms. JJ said, "doing good, how are you Garcie"?, she said, "ohhhh good, good and I, we have some news to tell everybody later" and JJ grinned and said, "good news I hope".
Derek said, "the best" as they all walked into the back yard, Luke looked up from his conversation with Desiree and said, "what took you all so long"?, and Derek said, "well we're here now and that's all that matters" and everybody nodded their heads in agreement. Fran walked over to Derek and said, "Hanks over there with Dave".
Penelope grinned and said, "awwww look at that, aren't they adorable", Fran said, "ohhhh they've been like that for a while", Derek smiled and said, "Hanks definitely in good hands". Fran said, "that he is baby boy, that he is" as they all walked over to sit down with Emily, Emily grinned and said, "we thought that a cook out was a good way to spend some time as a family".
Reid said, "family time is always great and especially after, well after the past few months", Dave said, "I couldn't have said it better kid", he looked at JJ and said, "how's the morning sickness JJ"?, she said, "gone, I'm in my second trimester thank goodness". Derek looked around and then leaned down and whispered something into Penelopes ear.
She smiled and nodded her head yes and Derek said, "baby girl and I have an announcement to make", everybody looked at them and Derek said, "we found out today that we're going to be adding another member to the family". Fran clapped and said, "ohhhh honey, how far along are you"?, Penelope put her hand on her stomach and said, "around 6 weeks".
Everybody was congratulating them and Hotch said, "oh Reid this came for you at the BAU", Reid said, "what is it"?, he said, "I don't know, it was delivered to you today so I just brought it with me in case I saw you, I hope you don't mind". Reid said, "no I don't mind, thanks", he opened the envelope and he suddenly got nauseated and weak in the knees.
Derek said, "pretty boy are you alright"?, Reid said, "n n no, no I'm far from alright", Dave said, "what is it son, what's the paper say"?, Reid looked up at his worried family and said, "it's Cats bloodwork". JJ said, "bloodwork, wait don't tell me"?, he nodded his head and said, "she's pregnant, around 6 weeks". He then sat down in the chair and put his head in his hands and said, "this can't be right, this can't be right" as one of his biggest fears came to life.
