Once Upon A Straight Tequila Night
Chapter 25 - Girls Day Out and The Big Reveal
Penelope's POV
I am currently laying in bed thinking about all the stuff that I need to get today as yesterday during lunch the girls and I decided that we were going to have a girl's day out and leave the boys to get know each other better, we decided to go and do some shopping to find some clothes that will stretch along with my growing belly and then we are going to go to a day spa and get massages and just pamper ourselves, I finally get up and head for the bathroom I strip out of my pajamas and look at myself in the mirror and notice my round baby bump I can't wait to them, I jump in the shower and then begin to get ready for my day of shopping and pampering.
When I get downstairs all the guys are sitting on the couch talking I make my way over to Derek he puts down his cup of coffee and pulls me into his lap and I snuggle right in and then he says "are you ready to head out for your girl's day with Em and JJ" I nod my head and say "yeah I am and what are you boys going to do while I am out today" Markus replies "we might go and kick a ball around in the park for a while."
I give Derek a kiss goodbye and grab my purse and head out the door I hop into my car and head for the mall where I am meeting Em and JJ, when I arrive at the mall I find a car space and park the car, I get out and make my way towards the door where I spot Em and JJ as I get closer to them they each wrap and arm around mine and we walk in to the mall first shop I need to go to is to find some maternity clothes, JJ shows me the maternity wear shops she used to go to when she was pregnant with Henry.
The first maternity wear shop we went into the staff were very helpful with helping me find the right things that I would need and one lady asked me "so if you don't mind me asking how far along are you, if I had to guess I would say about 4-5 months" I shook my head and said "actually I am only 12 weeks pregnant with triplets" when I found some of the things I needed I paid for them and we left the store.
Derek's POV
Now that Penelope has gone out with the girls for a day out her brothers and I can get in and start to move things out of the spare room closest to our room so that we can turn it in to a nursery, we all head upstairs and we pull out the bed and the wardrobe and everything else that is in there and start moving it all downstairs and into the garage before heading back up and cleaning the walls so that when we find out what we are having we can then paint the walls.
I sit down with my laptop and begin to search for what I need I find what I want so now we will head to Babies R Us so that I can start to get everything we need for the nursery we are going to need 3 of everything, it's just well I like restore houses and have a little extra money stowed away I quickly run into my office and grab the card for the account that the money from my houses goes into and put it in my wallet.
As I come back down the stairs, I meeting the guys at the door but as we get ready to leave I get a phone call from Hotch "hey Hotch" he replies "are we still on for getting this nursery prepared today while the girls are out" I say "yeah we are just on our way to the baby store to get everything so I will call you when we are on our way home" Hotch then replies "who is we Derek" I smile and say "not long after Penelope and I got home on thursday night we had a few surprise visitors, Penelope's brothers arrived to spend sometime with her before the wedding" so we have four extra pairs of hands which will come in hand when we start put cribs and change tables together."
Penelope's Flashback
Derek and I just found out that I am pregnant with triplets so we are sitting on the couch when I pick up my laptop and begin to search for nursery items I got onto the Babies R Us website and found all the items that I like, I turn to see Derek began write down the names of the items I don't know why he was writing them down but I guess that I will find out soon enough.
Derek Flashback
Penelope and I just found out that she is pregnant with triplets so we are sitting on the couch when Penelope picks up her laptop and begins to search for nursery items she got onto the Babies R Us website and found all the items that she liked so I made sure to write them down so that I could get them for her and get the nursery done ahead of time.
Derek POV
We are now on our way to Babies R Us, I have my SUV and Markus has his so we can get as much as possible into them and get it home and start assembling everything before the girls get home, pulling into the car park I jump out and so do Penelope's brothers from the other SUV and we walk into the store and we are immediately approached by a staff member who is already making eyes at me but I just ignore her and pull out the piece of paper that has everything written on it and I say "can you show us to the crib section please" she says "certainly sir, if you will follow me this way."
The guys and I follow her to where the cribs are and I say "I am after 3 of 4 in 1 convertible cribs with changer in cherry and mattresses to fit please" she looks at me confused and said "did you just say you want 3 of these cribs" I nod and say "yes I did, I will need 3 infant car seats, 3 bassinets, 3 crib bedding sets and triple stroller."
The staff member goes to get a few more staff so that they can help and now that the cribs have been chosen I say "I need to see the infant car seats please" and again we follow her to where they are and I say "I am after 3 Peg Perego Primo Viaggio seat in Denim and then I also need the Peg Perego Triplette Stroller to go with the infant seats"
Finally everything has been collected and we are now standing at the cash register every item has been scanned and the cashier says "that will be $4,500 sir" I pull out my wallet and get the card that I put in there before leaving the house and presented it to her she took the card and swiped it through the machine and when the the receipt came out she passed it over to me and I signed the bottom before handing it back to her, she hands me my card and I pul it back in my wallet and then we take the trolley loads of nursery items out the SUV's and begin to load it in, thankfully it all fits in both SUV's.
Penelope's POV
Every maternity wear store that I have been in the staff member that has been helping me has asked how far along I am and I smile and say "I am 12 weeks along with triplets" as I rub a hand over my now prominent belly as I try in some dresses, shirts, skirts and comfortable stretchy pants that will stretch nicely over my rapid growing belly.
After doing a lot of clothes shopping we head to the food court to get something to eat before we head off to the day spa, I choose something light and healthy for lunch so as to give my babies a better start in life, as JJ and Emily sit down with their lunch we discuss what treatments we will all have when we get to the spa I know I will be having a pregnancy massage, a facial and anything else that I can get done while pregnant.
Once we have finished eating we make our way back to our cars and I decide to call Derek and check on how he and my brothers are getting along, I dial Derek's number and he answers on the second ring "hey my Sexy Mama how is your shopping trip going" I say "it was great Handsome but we are on our way to the day spa to get pampered, how is everything with you and my brothers going" he replies "everything is great Baby we just got back from playing ball in the park we are just about to sit down and have a drink" then she says "oh ok Handsome I will see you later, love you" I say "love you too Baby Girl se you later."
Finally I arrive at the day spa and wait for JJ and Em to arrive they arrive 5 minutes later and we head inside and the receptionist says "good afternoon how may I help you" I say "we have an appointment for a party of 3 under the name Garcia" she says "Oh yes if you will follow me this way" JJ, Emily and I followed her back to where we could get changed before receiving our treatments.
Derek's POV
We just arrived home after getting all the nursery furniture when I hear my phone ring I answer on the second ring "hey my Sexy Mama how is your shopping trip going" she says "it was great Handsome but we are on our way to the day spa to get pampered, how is everything with you and my brothers going" I reply "everything is great Baby we just got back from playing ball in the park we are just about to sit down and have a drink" then she says "oh ok Handsome I will see you later, love you" I say "love you too Baby Girl se you later."
When I got off the phone with my Baby Girl, we start to unload the SUV's when I notice Hotch's car pull up and then Rossi and Reid in Rossi's SUV and I say "you guys are just in time to start unloading everything" everyone starts pulling out boxes of furniture and began taking the upstairs, once the SUV's are empty we all head back upstairs and move a few boxes up against the wall and we start unpacking the crib out of the box and start putting it together while a few of the others start unpacking the change table out of the box and begin putting it together while others begin unpacking the triple stroller and the car seats.
After 4 hours everything is finally done the cribs and change tables are all put together and everything is in it's place, I have placed the each crib against the wall side by side and each has been made with the bedding that I bought and the stroller is all put together with the infant seats attached, now I need is for JJ and Em to bring my Baby Girl home.
Penelope's POV
JJ, Emily and I are being pampered, we have had a facial, we have enjoyed full body massages only mine was a full body pregnancy massage and now we are sitting in comfortable chairs having a pedicure before we move to get our manicure.
After 4 hours at the day spa we are finally ready to leave we pay and make our way out to our cars, JJ and Emily get into JJ's car and I get into mine and begin to head for home, as I drove I began to rub my belly thinking about what it is going to be like with 3 babies, I smile at the thought these babies are going to have so much love from both Derek and I, their Grand Mamma, their aunties and uncles and everyone member of our BAU family.
I finally arrive home and see that Hotch's car and Rossi's SUV are parked on the street, I get out and make my way to the door when JJ and Emily pull up and join me as we enter the house I notice that there is no one inside so I head for the backdoor and see Derek, Peyton, Phillip, Markus, Matthew, Hotch, Reid and Rossi all sitting around the back yard talking each with a beer in their hands, I open the backdoor and clear my throat and it quickly gets the attention of my chocolate drop he gets up and comes over to me he leans in and places on hell of a passionate kiss on my lips before he pulls back and says "so how was the day spa" I smile and say "it was great Handsome, I haven't felt this good for weeks now" before I pull him close and say "you may even get lucky tonight" he smiles and says "I will hold you to that Baby."
He takes my hand and we walk out to where everyone is sitting and he says "shall we go and show her the big surprise" I look at him confused but everyone got up and headed for the backdoor Derek and I enter the house first and he leads me upstairs and toward our bedroom but he stops and says "Baby Girl I need for you to close your eyes for me please and don't open them until I tell you too, Ok" I nod my head and close my eyes I can feel everyone surrounding us and then I hear the door open and Derek is guiding me into the room and he says "Baby Girl you can open your eyes now."
I open my eyes and see against one wall 3 crib/change table combos side by side in a reddy brown color with white bedding and then I look over to the other side of the room and there is a triple stroller with the infant carseats in the color that I wanted, I turn to Derek and say "how did you get all of this done and how did you remember all the items that I wanted" he smiled and said "when you were searching for nursery furniture just after you found out we are having triplets I wrote down all the things you said you liked so that I could surprise you with this" as he looked around the room "and as to how I got all this done well you can thank every man here they all helped putting something together, so what do you think Baby Girl" I reply "I absolutely love it Handsome it is everything that I imagined it could be" as I turn to the rest of the men I say "thank you everyone I can believe that you all took the time out of your weekend to come and help set up this beautiful nursery."
