My Name Is Derek Morgan-Ch 35
The next couple of days went by with no further incidents and Penelope remained calm and was told that she could now go home because the baby wasn't in any immediate danger but she was still going to be on bedrest". Derek was currently standing by her side holding her hand as they waited on the doctor to come back into the room with her paperwork.
Fran walked into the room and said, "everything's ready at home", Penelope said, "thanks for taking care of it for us Fran", she said, "you are very welcome", they then all turned toward the door when the doctor walked in with papers in her hands. After Penelope signed the papers the nurse walked in with the wheelchair, she said,
"I don't need that chair".
The nurse said, "sorry Penelope but it's hospital policy", Derek said, "come on goddess and I'll help you", he looked down at her and said, "goddess, do I usually call you that"?, she laughed and said, "that and many many other nicknames". Derek grinned at her and said, "that's good, right, I'm getting my memories back"?, she gently squeezed his hand and said, "that's very good".
Fran said, "are you two ready to go home"?, he nodded his head and said, "lead the way momma, lead the way", they were all smiles as they headed out of the room and toward the elevator at the end of the hall. When they stepped inside and the doors closed Derek said, "where's Dave"?, she grinned and said, "he's bringing the car around".
A few minutes later as they pulled away from the hospital Penelope couldn't help but smile, Derek intertwined their fingers and said, "don't worry we'll be home soon baby girl and then you and the little one can get some rest". She stuck out her bottom lip and started to pout and he said, "now now don't pout on me we're going to have those dates and that will take your mind off being stuck in that bed".
She smiled and said, "ya promise"?, he brought her hand up to his lips and kissed it and said, "I promise", she took a deep breath and said, "I'm gonna hold you to that my love" causing him to laugh. It wasn't long before they were pulling into the driveway, Dave, Derek and Fran climbed out of the car, Derek opened the door and held out his hand and said, "here baby girl let me help you".
She slid her hand in his as she slid out of the car, he wrapped his arm around her and said, "take it easy", she looked up at him and said, "I'm going to be fine, we both are". He put his hand on her stomach and said, "we're going to make sure of that, we're going to pamper you", she said, "I don't need to be pampered", he said,
"we're still going to pamper you like the princess you truly
Penelope opened her mouth to say something and Derek put his finger on her lips and said, "now shush miss thang", she laughed and saluted him and said, "sir, yes sir hotstuff sir". Fran laughed and shook her head as they stepped up on the steps, Dave and Derek helped her inside just to make sure that she didn't fall, when they got to the door she said, "it's soooooooooo good to be home".
when the door opened she smiled as Jack and Henry ran across the room and gently wrapped their arms around her, Emily and JJ said, "surpriseeeeeeee", she took a deep breath and said, "thanks girlies". JJ said, "easy guys aunt P isn't feeling good". Jack said, "sorry aunt P", she ruffled the little boys hair and said, "it's okay Jackers".
Derek said, "come on sweetness let's get you on the couch so that you and the little one can rest", she nodded her head yes in agreement as he led her over toward the huge couch. Emily said, "are you two hungry"?, Derek rubbed his stomach and said, "I'm always hungry", they both laughed as they turned around and headed back into the kitchen.
Fran smiled and said, "Spencer will be here in a few minutes he said he was gonna pick up a surprise for Penelope", she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "I wonder if it's the newest season of Dr. Who"?, Derek said, "are you in to that kinda stuff"?, she smiled and leaned in and kissed his cheek and said, "sure am sweet cheeks sure am" earning a huge smile from Derek as he leaned back against the couch.
