Once Upon A Straight Tequila Night
Ch 36 - Put On Bedrest
Penelope's POV
I get up and head through the house, I am ready for my 28 week checkup, my blood pressure has been running high and I just know that she is gonna put me on bed rest till the babies are born. I walk into the living room and see my sexy husband standing at the counter, I walk over and wrap my arms around him the best I can and say, "are you ready to head out handsome"?, he laughs and says, "I'm ready when you are baby girl".
A few minutes later we are walking into the doctors office and the doctor is out at the front desk and says, "come on back Penelope, I have everything set up for your ultrasound". Derek and I follow the doctor down the hall and into the exam room, Derek helps me get up on the table, the doctor smiles and says, "I need you to go ahead and lay down and pull your shirt up above your stomach for me".
I lay down and she squirts gel on my stomach, I say, ohhhhhh that's cold", she looks at me and says, "sorry about that Penelope", I laugh and say, "it's all good doc". She puts the transducer on my stomach and a few seconds later the room is once again filled with the sound of "SWOOSH, SWOOSH, SWOOSH", she moves the transducer around on my stomach to check for the other two babies and she smiles and says, "all babies seem good so far, they all have nice, strong
heartrates".
She checks my blood pressure and says, "Penelope your blood pressure is wayyyyyyy to high, I am gonna go ahead and put you on bed rest until the babies are born". I open my mouth to say something and she says, "the more you rest the less stress that is on the babies", I nod my head and say, "alright doc, if you say bed rest then bed rest it is".
She smiles and says, "they all seem to be doing great, but your stress level needs to be low if not non existent", she handed Derek a wet towel and he helps her wipe the gel off her stomach. He then helps me up and off the table, the doctor smiles and says, "you need to be very careful from now on because you can go into labor anytime".
She puts her hand on my shoulder and says, "if you have any problems at all contact me immediately, ok Penelope"?, I nod my head and say, "I will doctor, I promise", we then walk out of the office and head to the car. On the way out the door I say, "bed rest, reallyyyyyyyyyy hotstuff", he kisses my nose and says, "afraid so goddess, we have to take care of our little angels don't we"?, I sigh and say, "your right handsome", Derek helps me into the car and
helps me fasten my belt and a few minutes later we are headed home.

Penelope's POV
We walk inside the house and after Derek locks the door we head upstairs, he helps me change and get into bed, it seems to take me forever to find a good position. I roll over and have a small pain in my back, I pay it no attention and lay back down, Derek strips down to his boxers and lays down with me, I smile and say, "you are a fineeeeeeeee specimen of man hotstuff".
Derek laughs and kisses my lips and says, "thanks baby girl and might I say that you are a sexy goddess yourself", I smile and yawn at the same time, he kisses the end of my nose and says, "close those eyes and rest". I salute him and say, "sir, yes sir", he laughs as he gently wraps his arm around my now huge waist.
It doesn't take my long to fall asleep, I wake up a few hours later with the feeling that my bladder is about to completely overflow, I gently pat Derek's arm and say, "handsome I need to potty". He gets up and helps me to the bathroom, when I sit down on the potty I have another pain in my back, I sigh as I get up and head back into the bed room.
I get ready to lay down and I am hit with another sharp pain that doubles me over, Derek wraps his arm around me and says, "what's wrong baby"?, I smile and say, "nothing handsome, I'm" and then another pain hits and this one is in my stomach, I look at him and say, "handsome there is a big chance that I am in labor".
Derek says, "ok, let me grab your bag and then we will be out the door", he walks over to the closet and calmly takes the suitcase out of the closet and wraps his arm around my waist again and says, "ok baby, we need to get you down the stairs and into the car". I kiss his lips gently and he smiles and says, "has your water broken yet baby?, I take a deep breath and say, "no not yet".
We are getting ready to walk out the door when I feel a puddle of warm water gush down my legs, I look at Derek and say, "ohhhhhhhhhh noooooooooo."
