Merry Christmas Hotstuff-Ch 21
Penelope took a deep breath as he took the lid off and looked into the box, he picked up what was inside and said, "baby does this mean"?, she nodded her head and said, "I got the confirmation right before we left the other day". He laid his box down and wrapped his arms around her and said, "we're having a baby"?, she laughed and said, "that we are handsome".
He kissed her lips passionately and said, "how far along are you"?, she said, "around 12 weeks", he kissed her again and then slid his hand down onto her stomach and said, "Merry Christmas little one I'm your daddy". JJ, Emily and Fran snapped picture after picture as he dropped to his knees in front of her and raised her shirt and placed a soft and gentle kiss to her stomach.
Penelope reached up and wiped away a tear and said, "are you happy handsome"?, he got up and kissed her lips and pulled her into his arms and said, "I'm so so happy baby girl". When they pulled apart the family walked over and congratulated them, JJ said, "and now you know that I am going to spoil him or her rotten, right"?, she giggled and just as she was about to answer everybody else said, "us to" causing her to laugh harder.
She felt smaller hands wrapping around her, she looked down and there stood Jack and Henry and she said, "are you ready to have another cousin"?, they both laughed and nodded their heads yes and said, "yeahhhhhh". Fran said, "and of course I can't wait to spoil my grandbaby", Derek walked over and kissed her gently on the cheek and said, "Merry Christmas momma".
She said, "Merry Christmas baby boy", she then hugged Penelope and said, "Merry Christmas honey", she then smiled and said, "next year I am going to be spoiling you rotten". Dave slapped his hands together and said, "alright who's hungry"?, everybody in unison said, "MEEEEEEEEEE", he said, "since we are having a big dinner later how about we have a light breakfast say like with pancakes and waffles"?, everybody nodded their heads in agreement as Dave and Fran turned and headed into the kitchen to get breakfast started.
Sarah and Desiree hugged Penelope and Derek and Sarah said, "congratulations Penelope, I am so happy for you and my baby brother", she laughed and said, "thank you Sarah". Desiree said, "and of course you know that if you need a baby sitter that we are available any time"?, Derek threw his arm over his sisters shoulder and said,
"thanks you two" as he kissed Desi on the temple.
Penelope sighed happily as Derek wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed the side of her neck, she said, "did I surprise you"?, he said, "yes you did goddess and it was an amazing surprise". She turned around in his arms and said, "just think in a few months we are going to have a little person that is part of both of us Derek".
He rested his forehead against hers and said, "and him or her is going to be gorgeous just like their mommy", she ran her finger up and down his chest and said, "orrrr as handsome as you, well you know if it's a boy". Derek kissed her lips gently and said, "I still can't believe it, I can't believe that we're going to have a baby beautiful".
Penelope smiled and Derek said, "what's that smile for, what are you thinking about"?, she said, "I remember when this little one was conceived", he said, "you do huh"?, she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "yeah do you remember that long weekend that we took right after that long case"?, he said, "ohhhhh yeah that would have been about 12 weeks ago wouldn't it"?, she kissed his lips and said, "that it would sugar shack".
Derek said, "you are practically glowing baby girl, I don't see how I've missed it, how did I miss you glowing"?, she said, "well I have had a lot of help since we got here". He said, "help, who knew that you were pregnant before today"?, she said, "wellllll Spencer walked in while I was sick and he figured it out, I think that your mom realized it and JJ and Em knew to".
Penelope said, "I hope that you aren't mad, I just wanted you to be sur" and he cut off her rambling when he claimed her lips with his
