Second Chances-Ch 25

Derek hung his clothes on the back of the hotel room door, he had booked the best room in the place because nothing was to good for him and his baby girl, he stood looking out the window as thoughts of how the night would hopefully go. First he could see him riding up in a horse drawn carriage and walking to the door to escort her down.

Second he would take her out for a nice romantic dinner at her favorite restuarant, a little dinner and then a little dancing before the carriage takes them to their hotel. The room will be so romantic, there will be roses all over the place, the lighting will be perfect, the sound of soft romantic music playing throughout their huge room.

Derek smiled as he looked down at his watch and saw that it was now time for him to get ready, he headed into the bathroom and turned the water on, he wanted to take a quick shower before getting dressed and heading out to pick up his goddess. He undressed and got under the hot water, as the water hit his body the anticipation of what tonight might bring was making him extremely anxious.

Penelope got out of the tub and dried off, she slipped a robe on and headed downstairs where she saw Chris just putting her snack down on the table, he smiled and said,
"sooooooo are you anxious about tonight"?, she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "I am, I am so excited, I can't wait to spend the evening with Derek, I think it is a long time coming".

Chris kissed the top of her head and said, "I'm very happy for you Penelope, you deserve to be happy and it is obvious to anyone with eyes that Derek is the love of your life". She smiled and said, "I don't know what I would do if I ever lost him", Desi hugged her and said, "my big brother loves you with all his heart and he will never do anything to hurt you".

She smiled as she sat down at the table, Chris and Desi joined her while she had her snack, a few minutes later she got up and started to pick up her plate and Chris saidm "honey you need to hurry, Derek will be here in like 45 minutes". She smiled as she headed toward the stairs, she walked into the bedroom and she dropped her robe and put her dress on, she decided to not wear any panties, she had high hopes for tonight.

She decided to leave her hair down, the blonde hair against her silk dress looked so beautiful, she then slid on her shoes and then finally she slipped her faux fur coat on and headed down the stairs. Chris and Desi walked out of the kitchen and stopped in their tracks, Desi said, "ohhhh my god honey you look amazing", Chris smiled and said, "Derek isn't gonna be able to keep his eyes off of you tonight, you are beautiful".

She smiled and said, "thank you both so much, I feel like a princess in this outfit", Chris hugged her and said, "you look like one to Penelope", she took a couple of steps and said, "did Fran make it here yet"?, Desi laughed and said, "no not yet, she will probably come home tommorrow". Penelope smiled and said, "she seems so very happy with Rossi doesn't she"?, Desi said, "I have never seen her this happy before, not since daddy".

There was a knock at the door, Penelope smiled and said, "well that is my prince charming", she headed toward the door, she took a deep breath before she opened the door. When she opened the door she couldn't help but smile, there before her was Derek in a tux, she swallowed hard and said, "you look very handsome Derek", he put her hand in his and brought it up to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "and might I say you look amazing tonight".

He smiled and said, "are you ready to head out beautiful"?, she smiled and said, "I am if you are hotstuff", he held his arm out and said, "madam your ride awaits", he lead her down the walk and when she saw the carriage she covered her mouth and said, "ohhhh my god Derek, it's beautiful, it is a carriage just like the one that Cinderella rode to the ball in".

He kissed her cheek and said, "nothing is to good to my princess", he opened the door to the carriage and helped her inside, she sat down and he got in and sat down beside her. He reached over and got the blanket and threw it across their legs because he didn't want her to get cold, she smiled at him and said, "this is amazing Derek, you really went to alot of trouble tonight".

He leaned in and kissed her lips gently and said, "for you nothing is ever any trouble", she smiled and said, "I can't believe that we are riding in a horse drawn carriage in the end of November". He intertwined their fingers and said, "believe it goddess, this is just the start of a wounderful night for us", she felt her heart beating faster as he brought her hand to his lips and gently kissed it.

Penelope took a deep breath and said, "soooooooo handsome, what's on the agenda for tonight"?, he said, "well first we are going to dinner at Alfredos and then a little dancing and then there is another surprise that I will show you later". She smiled as she sat back against the chair and looked out the window, she glanced over at Derek and couldn't that she had ever doubted him even for a second, hormones or not.

Derek sighed has he looked down at their intetwined fingers, he loved Penelope with all of his heart, he then glanced down at her growing stomach, he put his hand on her stomach and rubbed it and smiled up at Penelope. She put her free hand on his and smiled as she looked ever so lovingly into his dark sexy eyes, her heart fluttered when he licked his lips and winked at her.

Penelope had no doubt what so ever that this night was going to be amazing, tonight she was a princess and Derek Morgan was her prince
