Instant Family-Ch 35

Penelope looked up at Dr. Smith and said, "is this really happening, am I really pregnant"?, she said, "yes you are, we checked the results twice and you are definitely pregnant". Derek kissed her gently on the lips and slid his hand down to her stomach and said, "hey in there little one, I'm your daddy", the doctors both grinned and said, "congratulations you to".

Penelope wiped away the tears streaming down her face and said, "thank you, thank you, thank you", handed her a prescription and said, "this is for your prenatal vitamins and here is the card with your appointment on it". Derek said, "don't worry doc, we'll be there". Derek said, "is she okay to go"?, both doctors nodded their heads in agreement.

Derek stood up and held his hand out to his bride and helped her off the gurney, the happy couple intertwined their fingers as they made their way out of the room and closer and closer to their family. Reid looked up to see them walking happily toward them, JJ said, "are you alright Garcie"?, she hugged her friend and said, "right as rain sunshine".

Hotch said, "you scared us Garcia, are you sure you're alright"?, Derek said, "she's more than alright", Emily said, "what's with all the smiles"?, Derek looked at his wife and said, "go ahead sweetness and tell them". Penelope put her hand on her stomach and said, "I'm pregnant, around 6 weeks", everybody one by one hugged the happy couple and gave their congratulations.

Reid said, "I thought you said that it would be extremely hard for you to conceive"?, Penelope said, "that's what Dr. Smith told me but she said that they did the tests twice and we are definitley having a babyyyyyyyyy". Dave kissed her on the cheek and said, "that's great news kitten and Fran is going to be so happy to find out that she's going to have not 1 but 2 grandbabies".

As they headed toward the door Hotchs cell started ringing, he said, "Hotchner", after a few seconds he said, "we'll be right there", after the call ended he looked at the team and said, "the judge is ready to give her decision". Derek looked down at his watch and said, "is that good that she is coming back so fast Hotch"?, he said, "I'm hoping so, it all depends on how much she believed his story".

Derek held out his arm and said, "shall we Mrs. Morgan"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes we shall Mr. Morgan" and as they headed toward their cars the happy couple couldn't help but smile. A few minutes later they walked into the courtroom and headed up to sit down beside Beth, Derek wrapped his arm around Penelope as Beth said, "are you alright"?, she said, "I'm perfect, we just got great news".

Beth said, "well that's great", Derek leaned in and said, "we'er going to have a baby", Beth hugged her and said, "ohhhhh Penelope that's great, I'm so happy for you". Shawn and Connor walked into the room and Shawn said, "are you alright"?, she said, "I'm fine, thanks for asking", he said, "I'm glad that you're alright" as he walked over and sat down beside his attorney.

The baitliff walked to the center of the room and said, "all rise Judge Amy Hand presiding", everybody stood up and when the judge saw Penelope sitting there she smiled and said, "are you alright Mrs. Morgan"?, she said, "yes mam, thank you for asking". Amy said, "that pleases the court, if you don't mind me asking,
what was the problem"?, she took a deep breath and said, "I don't mind at all, we found out that I'm pregnant, about 6 weeks along".

The judge smiled and said, "well congratulations, that's great news", Penelope and Derek smiled and in unison said, "thank you", the judge said, "while I was back in my chambers I reread the transcripts and and I now ready to give my preliminary results". Shawn looked at Connor and said, "preliminary result, what's that about"?, Connor said, "let's just see what she has to say", he nodded his head as yes as they readied to hear the decision.

Amy said, Mr. Slater I know that Megan is your biological child and that you want to see her", she then looked at Derek and Penelope and said, "Mr. and Mrs Morgan I know that you love Megan like she was yours and that she is thriving in your home". She closed the file and said, "I am ordering 1 visitation for Mr.
Slater".

Derek squeezed Penelopes hand gently as the judge said, "it will be at the Morgans house tomorrow if that's alright"?, Derek looked Penelope and then at the judge and said, "that's fine mam". The judge said, "the visitation will be monitored by CPS and their decision will be given to me and then I will be able to give my final decision".

Shawn said, "that isn't fair, why do I have to see my child in their home"?, she leaned forward and said, "because I'm ordering it and your child feels safe and comfortable there". Connor put his hand on Shawns and said, "sit down and be still", Shawn blew out a deep breath as he sat down beside his attorney, the judge said, "the visitation will start at 10:00 and I am anxiously waiting on the report from CPS'.

The baitliff said, "all rise" and they stood up and watched as the judge walked out of the courtroom, Beth smiled and said, "that went just as I figured and right now that means that things are looking in your favor". Derek and Penelope smiled as they stood up, Beth said, "I'll see you tomorrow", Penelope said, "we'll see you tomorrow", the happy couple were all smiles as they made their way out the door and closer to their daughter.
