The Heart Knows-Ch 36
Derek grinned as he finished packing the picnic basket, he had asked his baby girl if she would accompany him and Hank to the park for a special family picnic for the three of them. She happily and very quickly agreed and was currently upstairs getting dressed for her evening with her Adonis and his mini me Hank a night that Derek hoped would end with her saying yes to his proposal to spend the rest of her life with him as his wife.
He had everything planned for their evening out and tonight was going to be perfect, he looked over his shoulder when he saw Penelope walking into the room. He said, "ohhhh sweetness you look amazing", she said, "handsome you've seen this dress a hundred times", he said, "that sundress hugs every curve on that sexy body of yours".
She laughed and said, "well if you're a good boy you might get to take if off of me later", he walked over to her and kissed her lips and said, "I'll hold you to that later". Derek said, "how about we go get our son and then we head out to the park"?, she said, "did you bring bread so Hank can feed the ducks"?, Derek said, "of course I did" as he held out his arm and she looped hers through his as they headed into the next room to get their son so they could head out for their special evening.
When they got to the park Derek spread the blanket and put the basket down, Hank and Penelope got down on their knees beside him and watched as he started unpacking the picnic basket. Penelope said, "ohhhh that fried chicken smells delicious". Derek said, "and I have potato salad, drinks, hot dogs and chips and soda for Hank and for everybody I haveeeeeee".
Penelope clapped her hands and said, "your moms double chocolate chip brownies, ohhhhhhh hotstuff that is awesome, thank you", Derek laid the food out on the blanket and then the plates. Hank smiled as Derek put a plate with a hotdog and some chips in front of him, he took a bite and said, "nummy daddyyyy". Derek tapped his son on the end of the nose and said, "daddy is glad you like it buddy but you can have chicken to if you want it".
Hank shook his head and said, "no fank you daddy" as he took another bite of his hotdog and chips, Penelope took a bite of her chicken and said, "ohhhh that is delicious angelfish, simply amazing". Derek said, "I'm glad you like it sweetness" as he took a bite of the potato salad, the trio spent the next several minutes eating, laughing and talking as they enjoyed their evening.
After they finished their food Hank said, "daddy tan we go feed the ducks"?, Derek handed him the bread and said, "we sure can buddy", Hank giggled and took off running toward the pond with Derek and Penelope right behind him. Some time later after the ducks were full and the sun was getting ready to go down Derek looked at Hank and nodded his head and whispered, "now buddy".
Penelope looked at the little boy as he walked over and stood in front of her, he said, "aunt Nelope will you mawwy us"?, she looked over at Derek who was sitting there with a small opened box. She covered her mouth and said, "oh Derek". Derek said, "I love you baby girl, I always have and I always will", she wiped away the tears and said, "and I love you".
Derek said, "so what's your answer to Hanks question"?, Hank grinned and once again said, "aunt Nelope will you mawwy us"?, she hugged Hank and said, "yes little man yes" as Derek took the ring out of the box and slid it onto her finger. Hank clappedhis hands and said, "yayyyyyyyyyy". Derek looked at Hank as he said, "daddy will she be my mommy now"?, Derek hugged his son and said, "yeah buddy she's gonna be your mommy now".
Hank smiled and said, "I love you daddy", Derek said, "and I love you buddy", Hank hugged Penelope and said, "and I love you Nelope", Penelope said, "and I love you to Hank" and a very happy little boy said, "yayyyyyyyyy we gonna be a weal famiwy now" as he wrapped one arm around Dereks neck and the other around Penelopes as he hugged them both.
