Security Detail-Ch 29
The next several weeks passed by quickly with Penelope being a good girl and resting, she didn't want to take any chances on hurting their unborn child. Derek was by her sid se making sure she had anything and everything she needed or wanted while she was on bed rest.
As the day got closer and closer for her next ultrasound she was becoming more worried and excited at the same time. She wanted to make sure that the child she was carrying was going to be okay, this child would be part her and part Derek and he or she was created out of the love they shared for each other.
Penelope and Derek were currently sitting in the exam room with their fingers intertwined waiting patiently for Sheila to come in and start the ultrasound. Derek brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "don't worry the baby is going to be fine sweetness, I just know it", she smiled lovingly into his eyes and said, "how often do I tell you I love you"?, he winked at her and said, "every day it's implied".
Their attention turned to the door as Sheila walked into the room, she shut the door and said, "how are you feeling Penelope"?, Penelope said, "good, anxious but good". Sheila said, "alright then let's get this test started so we can put your mind at ease", Penelope nodded her head yes in agreement as she pulled her shirt up and laid back on the table.
Sheila said, "this gel is gonna be cold" as she squirted some on her stomach, Penelope squeezed Dereks hand and blew out a deep breath. Sheila put the wand on Penelopes stomach and then she started moving it around slowly over her stomach as she searched for baby Morgan, nervous parents to be Derek and Penelope looked nervously and waited for the baby to appear on the screen.
Penelope felt her heart racing as she looked and looked for the baby on the screen, she said, "is it okay, is the baby okay"?, Sheila said, "hang on one second" as she pointed at the peanut shape in the middle of the screen. Derek said, "is it okay, is he or she okay"?, Sheila said, "everything seems to be fine, he or she is the perfect size for this time in the gestastional cycle".
Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "how much longer before we can hear the heart beat"?, Sheila said, "we should be able to hear it at your next check up next month" and a huge smile graced Penelopes lips. Sheila said, "and you don't have to be on bed rest any more", Penelope said, "so I can go back to my normal routine"?, Sheila smiled and said, "yes mam".
Derek said, "thank you so much for doing this for us today", Sheila said, "you're very welcome" as she handed Derek a wipe so he could clean the gel off of his wifes stomach. A few minutes later the smiling couple were headed out of the office hand in hand, Sheila stood watching as Derek opened the door to the car so Penelope could get in the car, he then leaned down and kissed her lips gently before walking around to the drivers side of the car.
Sheila sighed and turned around and walked back inside as the car carrying her favorite patient pulled out of the parking lot and turned onto the main road that led toward Casa Morgan.
