Switched-Ch 25
The rest of Dereks stay at the hospital flew by and soon he was ready, ohhh so ready to get out, while he was in the hospital him and Penelope had searched via the computer for a new place for them to live. Several places looked good but one fit them both perfectly so on their way home fromt he hospital they had arranged with the realator for a walk through.
As they climbed out of their car in front of the house all they could do was smile, if they bought this house they would have a huge back yard for their many children to play in and for the many many barbeques they hoped to have. In the front yard was a huge beautiful maple tree, one like she use to have in her home in California when she grew up.
She gently squeezed Dereks hand and said, "ohhhhhh handsome isn't it beautiful here"?, he brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "it sure is sweetness". The realator walked over to them and said, "well what do you think of the outside"?, Penelope said, "we are loving it Marie, absoultely loving it".
Marie grinned and said, "the backyard would also be a great place for a swingset just like we discussed on the phone earlier Penelope", she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "everything outside looks amazing". She motioned for them to go inside and said, "there are so many beautiful things to show you inside and I know that you are going to love".
The happy couple intertwined their fingers as they stepped upon to the porch, Marie said, "what do you think of the furniture Penelope"?, she smiled and said,
"it's gorgeous and it looks handmade". Marie nodded her head and said, "it is, it is", Derek said, "whoever made it took great time and pleasure with all of his work", she nodded her head and said, "the crafter has been in business for 40 years and does the furniture for a lot of the homes I show".
As they stepped inside the front door Penelopes eye caught the huge bookshelf on the right and she said, "ohhhhh this will be perfect for all of our movies and books handsome". He smiled down at his wife and said, "that it will sweetness, that it will", Marie said, "as you can see right here in your huge living room that in the corner is the fireplace but it isn't a normal fireplace".
Penelope said, "what's different about it"?, she said, "well it is a dual room fireplace so the bedroom that is on the other side of the wall will have it in there as well". Derek said, "that sounds good for all of those cold winter nights doesn't it goddess"?, she winked at him and said, "it sure does", as Marie took them through the house Penelope and Derek fell more and more in love with the house.
They stopped in the hall outside the master bedroom and Marie said, "I saved this room for last", as she pushed the door open she said, "now this fireplace right here was just added lastyear and trust me when I say that it heats the entire bedroom. Derek leaned in and whispered, "I would like to think that I to could heat this entire bedroom", she blushed and said, "ohhhhh you can handsome, believe me you can".
The bed was one that Penelope had always wanted to have and the canopy was amazing, she walked over and said, "ohhhhh I have always dreamed of having a bed just like this". Marie said, "and if you will follow me into the master bath I think that you are going to be pleasantly surprised", they opened the double doors and stepped inside and Penelope said, "ohhhhhhhhh I love it".
In the center of the room was a huge garden tub and covering half of one wall was a sound system, Marie said, "this sound system was added by the last owner not long before they moved". Penelope said, "ohhhhh and right over there would be a great place for a hot tub don't you think handsome"?, he nodded his head and said, "I totally agree".
Marie said, "of the 6 bedrooms this is by far my favorite", Derek said, "me to Marie", Penelope said, "this would be a great place for your mom and sisters to visit ohhhh or we could keep Jack and Henry for a weekend, they would totally love it". Maries cell started ringing and she said, "excuse me I have to take this", they nodded their heads and watched as she headed out of the room.
Derek said, "what do you think baby"?, she wrapped her arms around him and said, "I love it handsome, I love it, what about you"?, he kissed her gently on the lips and said, "I love it". He slid his hand down to her stomach and said, "I think that peanut will love it here", she said, "me to, this peanut and any others that we might have".
Marie walked back into the room and said, "well guys, what do you think"?, Derek gently squeezed Penelopes hand and said, "we'll take it", Marie smiled and said, "wonderful, simply wonderful, now if you will follow me we will get the paperwork started". Penelope and Derek took one final look at their bathroom and bedroom before following Marie back down to the dining room to start the mountain of paperwork.
