Double Obsession-Ch 25

Derek woke up the next morning to the sound of Hanks voice saying, "I'm homeeeeee", he jumped up and headed downstairs, when Hank saw him he ran into his arms. Derek picked him up and said, "I'm so glad that you're home, I've missed you so so much", Hank said, "I missed you to dad and it's sooooooooo good to be home with you and mommy".

Penelope smiled and said, "come, eat", Hank rubbed his tummy and said, "come on dad let's eattttt" as he took Derek by the hand and led him through to the dining room. When Derek walked through the door he saw Penelope feeding Amanda and Olivia was helping Fran with breakfast.

He walked over and kissed Penelope on the lips and said, "morning princess", she winked at him and said, "I'll show you a good morning hotstuff". Olivia said, "ewwwww momma", Derek picked up the little girl who then started squealing as he tickled her and said, "topppppp daddy toppppppp" as she almost lost her breath she was giggling so hard.

Derek put her down and kissed her cheek and said, "daddy loves you", she wrapped her arms around Derek and said, "I lub you to daddy". Derek tapped the end of her nose and put her down and she ran right back over to start helping Fran with breakfast again.

Penelope wiped Amandas face and said, "there you go sweetie", Derek said, "how is she this morning"?, Penelope said, "she's good, she's been changed and fed and ready to go to her play pen for a few minutes I think". Derek said, "here baby girl let me take her", Penelope nodded her head as she watched her husband pick up the little girl and carried her over and put her down in the play pen and he watched as she started playing with a plush bear.

He turned around and joined the others in the dining room, Fran said, "I hope everybody is hungry"?, Hank said, "I am nana, I've missed you pancakes". Fran kissed the little boy on the top of the head and said, "here you go sweetie and I put extra chocolate chips in it for you", he smiled as he poured syrup over them and took a bite and said, "this is yummy, thanks nana".

Derek took a bite and said, "yeah thanks momma these are delicious", Penelope laughed as she watched Fran lean over and kiss Derek on the top of the head before joining them at the table. They sat there laughing and talking until they finished their breakfast.

Penelope said, "here Fran let me help you with those dishes", she said, "no can do honey, you go and spend some time together as a family and I'll get this all cleaned up". Penelope grinned as she followed her husband and children into the living room where Amanda was still playing in her playpen.

Derek said, "how about today we let Hank decide what we do"?, Penelope said, "sounds good to me hotstuff", he winked at her and then said, "hey buddy"?, Hank said, "yeah dad"?, Derek said, "today we're going to let you decide what we do". Hank said, "really"?. Penelope said, "yep, really, so what would you like to do today"?, he said, "welllllll the carnival is up at the pier sooooo maybe we can go, maybe everybody can go, I bet Henry and Jack would like it to".

Derek looked at Penelope and said, "what about it baby girl"?, she said, "I'll send a quick text and see what everybodys plans are", he grinned as he watched her send a group text to the team and his sisters. It was only a matter of a few minutes before everybody texted back saying that a day at the carnival sounds like a great way to spend the day.

Penelope said, "they're all in, we need to talk to your mom and see if she can come", Derek said, "hey ma"?, she said, "yes baby"?, he laughed and said, "can we count you in on a family day at the pier"?, she said, "sure, that sounds like fun, count me in on that".

Derek looked at Hank and Olivia and said, "go get ready and we'll head out in a few minutes", Hank and Olivia high fived each other as they ran up the stairs to get changed. Penelope kissed Derek on the lips and said, "I'll go get our princess cleaned up so we can head out when the others are ready".

As she headed up the stairs the doorbell rang and Derek said, "I'll get it", he walked over and smiled when he saw Hotch standing on the other side of the door. Hotch said, "I hate to bother you but this couldn't wait", Derek stepped aside and said, "come in, come in".

Hotch said, "I got Savannah to sign away her rights but so far Sam is fighting us", Derek said, "so where does that leave us"?, Hotch said, "don't worry with everything he's done we will be able to find a judge that will strip him of his parental rights but their is a chance that Garcia will have to go testify".

Derek said, "count us in man, the sooner we get Amanda away from them the better", Hotch said, "I couldn't have said it better myself Morgan". Penelope walked down the stairs carrying Amanda who was now wearing a pink sundress and said, "couldn't have said what better"?, Hotch and Derek then spent the next few minutes filling her in on what had occurred.

With no surprise to either Derek or Hotch Penelope happily agreed to testify against Sam, she said, "whatever it takes to get Amanda away from them I'll do". Hotch grinned and said, "I'll let you know when and if you have to testify", they nodded their heads and watched as he headed toward the door.

He turned around and said, "we'll meet you at the pier", Penelope said, "later bossman", he laughed and said, "later Garcia" causing everybody to laugh as he stepped down the steps and headed toward his car.
