Never Yours-Ch 27

The next several months passed by quickly as Desiree and Penelope adjusted to a life free of Rodney and Savannah, everything was going good for both couples. The team was staying busy with cases out of town but when they were home they were together as a family laughing, eating and enjoying spending time together.

Over the past couple of days Penelope and Desiree hadn't been feeling good, they were constantly nauseated and both were very emotional all of the time. Penelope talked to her sister in law and they both decided that they needed to go to the ER to be checked out, their was a bad stomach bug going around but they were both thinking that they were pregnant and wanted to confirm it.

The nervous friends sat in a cubicle in the ER waiting for the doctor to come into the room, they both blew out deep breaths as they looked up to see the doctor walking into the room. She sat down across from them and said, "what can I do for you ladies today"?, Penelope then spent the next few minutes explaining their situations.

The doctor smiled and said, "alright we'll draw some blood and get a urine specimen from you both and then we'll find out for sure what is indeed wrong with you". Desiree smiled and said, "thank you", the doctor said, "you're very welcome" and then she handed Penelope and Desiree both cups for their urine samples.

A few minutes later they were both sitting and waiting for the doctor to draw their blood, Desiree looked at Penelope and said, "what if we're pregnant"?, Penelope smiled and said, "then we tell our husbands and our wonderful family the news and we celebrate the news that we're getting ready to bring two new additions into our family".

Desiree gently squeezed Penelopes hand and said, "I love you P", Penelope said, "and I love you Desi", they looked up and the doctor said, "alright let's get the blood and hopefully in about an hour we'll have your results". Both girls nodded their heads in agreement as they pulled off their jackets and rolled up their sleeves so the doctor could take their blood.

As they sat and waited for their results Desiree said, "do you remember when we found out we were pregnant with Jamie and Anthony"?, Penelope nodded her head and said, "I do, I do". Desire said, "I can't tell you the relief I feel knowing that Rob is Anthonys father and not Rodney", Penelope said, "I hear ya there Desi, I thank God everyday that Derek is Jamies daddy to".

Penelope took Desiree by the hand and said, "we made it through almost 3 years of hell Desi and now we're back with our family, with people that love us and Rodney and Savannah can't hurt us anymore". Desiree reached up with her free hand and wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face and said, "and now our lives with the people we love can truly begin", Penelope nodded her head yes as she pulled her friend into her arms.

They pulled apart to the sound of the doctor walking into the room, she pulled up a chair in front of the girls and said, "well I have your results", Desi and Penelope intertwined fingers and in unison said, "anddddd"?, the doctor smiled and said, "congratulations you're both pregnant, around 12 weeks". The girls looked at each other and then back at the doctor and Desi said, "b b both of us are pregnant"?, the doctor nodded her head and said, "yes mam you are and so far everything is progressing normally".

Penelope smiled as he hand slid to her stomach and she said, "a a a baby, we're really pregnant"?, the doctor laughed and said, "you are both 100% pregnant and due in about ohhhhhh 6 months or so". Desi said, "wait, that's around" and Penelope said, "Christmas time, we'll both be due around Christmas Desi, around the happiest time of the year".

Desi smiled and said, "thank you doctor, thank you", she said, "you're both welcome" and handed them both prescriptions for prenatal vitamins and said, "if you need help finding an OB just call my office". Penelope said, "we will, thanks" and then they stood up and started making their way toward their car, as they reached for the car door their cells beeped.

Penelope smiled as she read the text, she looked up at her friend and said, "they're on their way home, ohhhh I can't wait to tell Derek", Desi said, "and I can't wait to tell Rob, they are going to be so excited". Desi said, "I think this news deserves something special don't you"?, Penelope grinned and said, "ohhhh yes I do and I have a few good ideas" and then they got into the car and started making their plans on how they were going to tell their husbands about the newest additions.
