Deception-Ch 26
Over the next few months Derek, Penelope and the team worked on getting the nursery ready for the babies, Hank was getting bigger everyday and was now almost 9 months old and Savannah was a week overdue so everybody especially Derek was on edge. Penelope was a little over 5 months pregnant and was doing great, the morning sickness was gone and she was back to working full time and spending the nights at home with Derek and Hank as they readied their family for 2 new additions.
The family, including Savannahs parents were sitting down for a family dinner when Dereks cell started ringing, he pulled it from his belt and said, "this is Derek Morgan", the voice on the other end said, "yes Mr. Morgan this is Abigail Montgomery and I'm a nurse at Mercy Medical". Derek said, "yes mam, what can I do for you"?, Abby said, "your ex wife Savannah was brought into the hospital in full blown labor and she wants you by her side as she delivers", Derek said,"alright, I'll be right there and thanks for calling me Abigail".
Abigail said, "you're very welcome Mr. Morgan", Derek said, "please call me Derek", she said, "you're very welcome Derek", he grinned and put the cell on his belt and said, "it's Savannah, she's in labor and wants me there when she delivers". Chris looked at Derek and said, "is it okay is Sandy and I go with you Derek", he looked at Penelope and she nodded her head yes and said, "of course you should go , she's giving birth to your grandson or grandaughterdaughter and we all know that you should be there", Derek grinned and leaned down and kissed her lips and said, "you're something special Mrs. Morgan", Penelope winked at him and said, "and don't you forget it Mr. Morgan" and everybody grinned and watched as Derek headed toward the door.
As he was putting his hand on the door Reid said, "hang on Morgan, I'll go with you", Derek said, "thanks pretty boy but you don't have to do that", he said, "I know I don't have to but I want to, after all this little baby is going to be my niece or nephew". Derek grinned and threw his arm around Reids shoulder and said, "well then uncle Reid let's get this party started" and both men were laughing as they walked out onto the porch shutting the door behind them.
The ride to the hospital didn't take long and soon they were walking through the door, Reid walked over to the nurse and flashed his badge and filled her in and she said, "please follow me, she's ready to deliver". They all nodded their heads yes and quickly followed the young nurse up the hall toward the delivery room, Savannah was collapsing beside on the bed as Derek, Reid and her parents walked into the room.
Savannah looked up and said, "is this where the party is"?, Derek looked at the doctor and said, "how is she"?, the doctor looked up and said, "labor is progressing great and I can see the top of the babies head". Derek smiled as he walked over and stood by Savannahs bed, she looked up at him and said, "thank you for coming Derekkkkk" as she was hit with another hard contraction.
The doctor said, "pushhhh Savannah" and she grabbed Dereks hand and pushed until the doctor told her to stop, she collapsed against the bed and let go of Dereks hand and looked up at him. Derek blew out a deep breath and said, "you're doing a great job Savannah", she said, "thanks Derek that means a lotttttt" as another contraction rocked her already exhausted body.
Savannah grabbed Dereks hand and started pushing, she stopped pushing when she heard the sound of her son or daughter crying, she smiled and said, "is the baby okay, please tell me he or she is okay"?, the doctor cut the cord and cleaned the baby off and said, "she's fine Savannah, she's fine" as she handed the baby over to her mom.
Derek said, "oh Savannah she's beautiful", Chris, Reid and Sandy smiled and nodded their heads yes in agreement and Chris said, "she's gorgeous princess, simply gorgeous". Savannah said, "thanks daddy" and she said, "I feel funny" and her head to the side and closed her eyes as Derek took her the baby into his arms and said, "Savannah what's" and her heart monitor started going crazy for a few seconds before she flat lined.
Derek and the others stood there watching as the doctors and nurses did everything they could to save her but it was to late, the doctor looked up and said, "I'm so sorry, she's gone". Sandy said, "no, no it can't be, she can't be dead, she can't be" as she buried her head in her husbands chest", Reid looked at the doctor and said, "what do you think happened"?, the doctor said, "we won't know for sure until we do an autopsy but I'd say either a heart attack or an aneurysm".
Derek looked down at his daughter and said, "daddy is so sorry little angel, so so sorry", he kissed the baby on the top of the head and said, "but daddy loves you and he always will" as he then watched the nurses walk out of the delivery room carrying his newborn daughter.
