Eat Your Heart Out-Ch 25
Epilogue- 1 Year Later
The team was away on a case, everybody but Derek and Penelope, Derek asked to stay home with his very pregnant wife, she was only a few days from delivery and the doctor told her that she could deliver any time. The doctor was right as she woke him up about 4:00 that morning saying she was in labor and her water broke.
Derek quickly got up and got dressed and helped her get cleaned up and down to the car, the ride to the hospital didn't take long and soon Penelope was in the delivery room ready to push. The doctor smiled and said, "you're doing a great job Penelope" a few hours later as baby Morgan was closer and closer to being born.
Penelope looked at Derek and said, "this baby is so much like their daddy", he said, "how so"?, she squeezed his hand as another contraction hit her and she said, "it's stubborn like youuuuuuuuuu". When that contraction was over Derek kissed her lips gently and said, "I love you", she winked at him and said, "I love you to".
The doctor said, "Penelope on the next contraction I want you to push and don't stop until I tell you to", she nodded her head and gripped Dereks hand as the final contraction shook her body. She pushed and pushed until she heard the cry of her baby, then with tears in her eyes she stopped pushing when the doctor said, "relax mommy, relax".
They watched as their baby was cleaned up a little, the doctor then said, "dad would you like to cut the cord"?, he nodded his head and she said, "just cut between the clamps". Derek nodded his head again and did what she said and then the doctor held up the baby and said, "here you go mommy, here's your little girl".
Penelope smiled and said, "did you hear that"?, Derek said, "I did, now I have 2 baby girls", Penelope laughed and said, "awwww look at her handsome, she looks like both of us". Derek smiled and said, "she has your eyes and nose for sure", she said, "and she has your smile and ohhhh look at those little hands" as she brought them to her lips and kissed them.
While the doctor worked on getting her sewn up she said, "do you have a name picked out yet"?, Derek nodded his head and said, "we do", Penelope said, "Sarah we want you to meet Melody Francine Morgan", Sarah said, "a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl", Derek said, "I can't believe she's here".
Penelope said, "and the team and your mom and sisters are all out of town, what are the odds on that"?, Derek laughed and said, "tell me about it but don't worry when they all get back they are gonna have her spoiled rotten in no time". Penelope sighed happily and said, "she's so beautiful isn't she Derek"?, he kissed his wife on the end of the nose and said, "of course she is, she's just like her momma".
As Penelope laid there holding their daughter Derek pulled his cell out of his pocket and snapped a few pictures and sent them to the team/his family with the heading, "WELCOME TO THE FAMILY MELODY FRANCINE MORGAN". It was only a matter of a few seconds before the comments started coming in about how beautiful she was.
Derek and Penelope sighed happily as they looked down at their now sleeping bundle, he kissed her lips and said, "eat your heart out world Melody is here" causing Penelope to laugh. The new family cuddled closer and enjoyed some much wanted family bonding time, Derek couldn't believe that his life was growing more and more perfect with each passing day.
Little did they know that in 2 years their life and family would grow again with the birth of Hank Spencer Morgan and then again 2 years later with the birth of twins Seth Aaron and Sadie Grace Morgan. The day Derek and Penelope met it was destined in the stars that they would be together and have the most amazing family, thus cementing the greatest love story ever told, the story of Penelope baby girl Morgan and her hotstuff, Derek Morgan.
