Do I Know You-Ch 37
A few hours later Penelope woke up to the feel of Dereks lips on hers, she opened her eyes and said, "welcome home handsome", he grinned and said, "it's good to be home goddess, are you ready to head out"?, she nodded her head and said, "I am, can you grab your daughter while I grab my stuff please"?, I sure can", he then picked up Bella and kissed the top of her head while Penelope grabbed her things.
About half an hour later Penelope was walking into the drugstore, she walked down an aisle and sighed as she picked up a couple of boxes and headed toward the registers. Penelope was almost positive that she was pregnant but the question was who was the father, was it her kind, loving husband or the monster that raped her everyday they were together".
The clerk handed her the bag and said, "have a good day mam", Penelope smiled and said, "thank you, same to you" before turning around and heading out of the store. Derek grinned as he watched Bella playing in the back seat, he was torn because he wanted another baby, hell he wanted a whole house filled with kids but what if his goddess was pregnant by Thomas, what would she want to do about it, he was pulled from his thoughts when she sat down and closed the door.
He leaned over and kissed her gently on the lips and said, "are you alright sweetheart"?, she weakly smiled and said, "as good as I can be I guess handsome". He intertwined fingers with her and said, "I love you baby girl, I always have and that will never change", she wiped her eyes and said, "I love you with all my heart handsome and no matter what you will always be the sole owner of my heart".
He wasted no time pulling out of the parking lot, the trip home was quiet as everybody quietly wondered what the future was going to hold for the happy family. Once they got home Bella ran through the house and went straight to her dolls in the corner, Penelope sighed happily as she watched her daughter playing.
Derek wrapped his arms around her and kissed the side of her neck and said, "it't going to be alright goddess", she turned in his arms and said, "if I'm pregnant by Thomas I don't know if I want it, does that make me a bad person"?, he shook his head no and said, "of course it doesn't baby girl".
She laid her head on his chest and said, "if I am pregnant by Thomas I don't know if I can have it", he kissed her on the top of the head as he rocked her back and forth. She looked up at him with tears streaming down her face and said, "the things he did to me in that basement Derek were sick and depraved".
He ran his hand up and down her back and said, "I can't imagine what you went through goddess, I am so sorry that you had to go through that but he can't hurt you anymore". She sighed as she rubbed her stomach and said, "what if he gets the final laugh on us Derek, what if I'm carrying his child inside me right now"?, he said, "baby girl you know that there is a 50-50 chance that it could be mine to".
She nodded her head and said, "I know but", he put his finger on her lips and said, "lets give our daughter a bath and then after she is down for the night you can take the test and if it's positive we will go first thing in the morning and see how far along you are". She smiled at him and said, "you are an amazing man Derek Morgan".
He intertwined their fingers and said, "if I am it's because of you and our daughter", he looked over at his yawning daughter and said, "come on princess and let's get you bathed and in bed". She ran over to Derek and he picked her up and carried her up the stairs followed closely by his beautiful wife.
About 45 minutes later Derek walks into the bedroom he shared with his baby girl and saw her sitting on the bed, he sat down beside her and said, "are you alright"?, she nodded her head and said, "I'm scared Derek". He kissed her on the temple and said, "I know you are goddess, I'm a little scared to".
She stood up and headed toward the bathroom and Derek said, "I can go with you if you want me to", she smiled at him and said, "I need all the support I can get". He followed her inside the bathroom and watched as she followed the directions on 3 home pregnancy tests, when she was finished she said, "we have to wait 3 minutes".
He took her by the hand and led her back into their bedroom and sat down on the bed with her, she laid her head on his shoulder and said, "the results of those tests could change our lives together". He rested his head on hers and said, "I know baby but just remember that no matter what happens I'm with you and we can get through anything together".
she kissed his lips gently and said, "I know handsome and I love you for it", she looked at Derek and said, "it's time isn't it"?, he nodded his head and said, "it is sweetness". They get up and walk into the bathroom and over to the counter, she takes a deep breath before slowly looking down at the tests laying on the counter.
