Alone In Paradise-Ch 25
Penelope woke up the next morning to the smiling face of her fiancee, she grinned and said, "how long have you been awake"?, he kissed her lips gently and said, "I haven't been awake long but do you realize how beautiful you look when you sleep"?, she laughed and said, "thank you but I believe that you might be a little biased".
He laughed and said, "you are the most beautiful woman I have ever laid my eyes on and you always will be", she wrapped her hand around his head and pulled him down into a passionate kiss. When they pulled apart Derek said, "are you ready to get dressed and get out of here"?, she sighed happily and said, "I am sooooo ready to get out of here".
They looked down on her bedside table and saw her release papers signed and waiting on her to sign, she quickly signed her papers before heading into the bathroom to get changed. When she walked back into the room she smiled when she saw Derek talking to her doctor, she said, "is something wrong doctor"?, she shook her head and said, "oh no everything is fine, I was just giving Derek your prescription for prenatal vitamins and a list of OBGYN's".
Penelope smiled and said, "thank you so much for everything you have done for me", she hugged Penelope and said, "I'm just glad that everything is back to normal for you". Penelope looked over her shoulder at her sexy fiancee and said, "me to", Derek grinned and said, "are you ready goddess"?, the doctor said,
"I will get you a wheelchair".
Penelope said, "ohhhhh I don't need one doctor, I can walk", the doctor grinned at her and said, "according to hospital regulations you have to leave the facility in a wheelchair". She sighed and said, "alright", Derek kissed Penelopes lips and said, "I'm going to go down and pull the car around and I will see you downstairs in a few minutes".
Penelope grinned as he leaned in and kissed her lips again before grabbing her bag and heading out the door, the nurse walked in and said, "are you ready to leave us Ms. Garcia"?, she nodded her head and said, "I am more than ready". The nurse laughed as she helped Penelope into the chair, she gave one final glance around the room before sighing happily as the nurse headed toward the elevator.
When they made it to the front doors a few minutes later she smiled as she saw her future husband sitting there waiting on her, the nurse pushed her right over to the car and opened the door. Penelope stood up and sat down in the car and said, "thanks Maxine", she smiled at Penelope and said, "you are very welcome".
Maxine waved as Derek and Penelope pulled out of the parking lot, Derek reached over and interwined fingers with his baby girl and said, "I love you so much sweetness". She gently squeezed his hand and said, "I love you handsome and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life being your wife and the mother of your children".
As they headed toward Dereks place she laid her head back against the back of the seat and closed her eyes, she couldn't believe how much her life had changed. Derek gently squeezed her hand and hummed the song on the radio as they got closer and closer to his house, the only thing Derek could think about was that in a few short months he was going to be a husband and father and he couldn't wait.
Because of the trauma that Penelope had been through she got to do her testimony via computer and once the judge heard her side of the story let's just say that the trial didn't last long and Kevin and Savannah were to spend the rest of their natural lives in prison. Penelope sighed happily when the judge called her after the trial was over to give her the verdict.
There wasn't a dry eye in the court room as the defense cross examined Penelope, the way she described what she had been through or at least what she could remember broke everybody's heart including the judge. Savannah and Kevin tried everything they could think of to get the case dismissed but nothing they tried worked and after three days the case was sent to jury.
It didn't take the jury long to convict them both to life in prison without the possibility of parole, this came to a huge shock to both Savannah and to Kevin but not to their attorneys. As the judge had read the verdict to the defendants Penelope and Derek were told that Savannah and Kevin both sat in their seats crying.
Penelope looked across the room at her family and smiled as she got to tell the verdict, they had a party that night, one of which was definitely the talk of the town. Penelope rubbed her stomach and smiled knowing that Savannah and Kevin were out of their hair forever, she knew that they were safe knowing their enemies were safely behind bars.
The next several months flew by and the team was called away on case after case and they were rarely home longer than a weekend before they were called away on another case. Penelope sits behind her desk rubbing her now 7 month pregnant stomach wondering when her fiancee and team of super heroes were going to get to come home.
They had been away this time for almost 3 weeks and she missed Derek so much, she longed to feel his amrs around her, to feel his lips on hers, to wake up in the morning and his handsome face be the first thing she saw. She smiled when her cell started ringing, she said, "hello hotstuff any idea when you will get to come home"?, he laughed and said, "we are airborn right now goddess and we be there in a few hours".
She yawned and said, "it will be so good to see you, we have missed you so much", Derek said, "can you do me a favor"?, she laughed and said, "sure hotstuff what do you want me to do"?, he said, "put the phone on speaker and hold it up to your stomach so I can talk to the baby". She grinned and put the phone on speaker and said, "go ahead handsome".
Derek said, "hello baby this is daddy and I love you so very much and I can't wait to be home with you and mommy", Penelope put her hand on her stomach and said, "he or she can't wait for that either handsome because they are kicking against my hand". He laughed and said, "now now little one you be good to your momma and daddy will see you soon".
Penelope said, "be careful hotstuff and I will see you in a few hours", Derek sighed and said, "why don't you shut your babies down for the night and take a nap on your couch until we get back to the BAU". She yawned again and said, "I think that sounds like a great idea", he said, "and when I get there I will wake you up like the prince did in sleeping beauty".
She laughed and said, "alright my prince I will see you soon", he smiled and said, "count on it princess", seconds later the call ended and she stood up and carried her cell over and laid it down on the table in front of the couch. She laid down on the couch and pulled the throw off the back and covered herself up.
She was exhausted and it didn't take long before she had fallen peacefully asleep
