Forever Your Girl-Ch 26
Some time later when Dave stood to go Penelope said, "thank you", Dave smiled and said, "for what"?, she said, "for listening to me rant on and on and for helping me make a decision". Dave said, "what decision was that"?, she sighed and said, "I've decided to talk to a therapist", Dave said, "it helps, trust me Penelope, trust me".
She said, "you talked to a therapist"?, he nodded his head and said, "I did and being able to talk to somebody that understood what I was going through really helped". He stepped closer to her and said, "just remember, we're here for you and we love you", she smiled and said, "thank you, I'll remember that", she then watched as he turned around and walked out of the room and headed up the hall toward the elevator.
Penelope reached out and pushed the nurses button, about a minute later the doctor walked in and said, "Penelope are you alright"?, Penelope said, "I think I'd like to take you up on your offer". The doctor smiled and said, "good, good, I'll set up an appointment for you", Penelope said, "I'd like for you to ask him or her if they would use hypnosis on me".
The doctor said, "Penelope are you sure this is what you want"?, Penelope nodded her head and said, "I'm sure, I need to remember what happened, I need to remember it all". She looked at the doctor and she nodded her head and said, "I'll talk to the therapist and see what I can arrange", Penelope grinned and said, "thank you doctor, thank you".
Meanwhile after making sure Anthony and Jamie were sleeping peacefully in their beds Rob and Derek decided to take a walk outside in the garden, once they were outside Rob said, "alright Morgan spill it, what's wrong"?, Derek said, "man I blew it", Rob said, "blew what, what did you do"?, Derek said, "I wanted to help Penelope remember so I tried something".
Rob said, "what did you do"?, Derek said, "she was looking so beautiful, so amazing and I thought", Rob said, "and you thought kissing her might bring back some memories didn't you"?, Derek said, "I did, I did". Rob said, "and what did she do when you kissed her"?, Derek said, "she asked me to go, to go to give her some time alone to think and to grieve".
Derek said, "man I blew it", Rob said, "not necessarily", Derek said, "dude she asked me to leave, that doesn't sound to promising", Rob said, "well Morgan she just lost a child, the second child she's lost in less than 3 years". Derek said, "I know man but", Rob said, "believe me I understand, I do but right now we need to let Desi and Penelope take the lead here".
Derek blew out a deep breath and said, "you're right, you're right", he then sighed and said, "so how are things with Desi"?, Rob smiled and said, "we've kissed and she knows that I love her". Derek grinned and said, "did she say it back"?, Rob said, "no and I understand but the kiss we shared filled me with hope and I know, I know that we will be back to where we once were".
Rob looked at Derek and said, "and you can't give up either", Derek said, "their is no way that I'm going to give up on baby girl, we will be together again and we will raise our daughter together". Meanwhile in her room Penelope looked up and smiled as the therapist walked into the room, she walked over to the bed and held out her hand.
Penelope shook hands with her and the doctor said, "my name is Abby Gilliam and I'll be your therapist", Penelope said, "it's nice to meet you Abby", Abby sat down and said, "I understand from Tina that you would like for me to use hypnosis on you"?, Penelope said, "I do, I want to remember what happened, I want to remember my life before, well before all of this happened".
Abby nodded her head and said, "alright then, are you ready"?, Penelope said, "I'm as ready as I'm ever gonna be", Abby scooted to the end of the chair and readied to start the hypnosis session.
