Always-Ch 37

When Derek got into Penelopes room he ran right over to her and kissed her lips gently and said, "are you alright baby"?, she looked up at Derek and his heart broke when he saw the tears streaming down her face. He wiped away the tears and said, "Dr. Anderson said there were complications, what kind of complications"?, she took a deep breath and all she could do was cry.

Derek turned to the doctor and said, "what's wrong, please tell me that Penelope and the baby are both alright", she nodded her head and said, "yes they are both alright".Derek gently squeezed Penelopes hand and said, "what are the complications"?, Dr. Anderson said, "the placenta has pulled away from the wall and that is what was causing her to bleed".

Derek said, "but you said that Penelope and the baby are alright", she took a deep breath and said, "yes your wife and daughter are both going to be fine,
but I am putting her on complete bed rest until the baby comes". Derek smiled and said, "wait, did you just say our daughter"?, Penelope smiled and said, "yes she did hotstuff, we are having a daughter".

Derek sat down on the bed beside Penelope and listened as the doctor finished telling him about what Penelope could and couldn't do, he then looked at her and said, "how long does she have to stay in the hospital"?, Dr. Anderson sighed and said, "I want her to stay a few days at least, I need to keep her here so that I can monitor her".

Penelope said, "but if I am doing good, can I go home before the weekend"?, the doctor laughed and said, "we will see how you are doing by Friday", Derek kissed her lips gently and said, "everything is going to be alright baby girl and you will be home before you know it". She took a deep breath and laid her head back down on her pillow.

Penelope said, "can Derek stay with me tonight"?, the doctor smiled and said, "he can stay with you as long as he wants", Derek smiled and said, "thanks doctor, I don't want to leave her". Penelope said, "my mother in law and our 10 month old twins are out in the waiting room can they come in"?, the doctor nodded her head and said, "yeah sure, just remember no lifting at all".

Derek looked at the doctor and said, "don't worry, there will be no lifting until after our daughter is born", Penelope opened her mouth to say something and Derek said, "isn't that right goddess"?, she sighed and said, "yes hotstuff". The doctor laughed and said, "I will go and let you rest, I will be here if you need anything just have them page me".

Penelope smiled and said, "thanks again for everything", she smiled and said, "anytime Penelope", Derek smiled at Penelope and said, "I am gonna go and get mama and the twins baby girl, I will be right back". Penelope said, "don't forget to call JJ and tell her what is going on handsome", he kissed her lips gently and said, "I will call her while I am in the waiting room goddess", she smiled as she watched Derek follow the doctor out of the room.

Derek kept his promise and called JJ and filled her in on what was happening and she said that she would tell Hotch that he would be off of work until she got out of the hospital. A few minutes later Derek, Fran and the twins strolled into Penelopes room, Penelope smiled when she saw her beautiful babies little sleeping faces.

Fran said, "they woke up and stayed awake for 30 minutes and then fell asleep again", Penelope smiled and said, "they are adorable when they sleep aren't they"?, Fran smiled and said, "yes they are". Penelope said, "did Derek fill you in on what the doctor said"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes and I am so sorry that you got hurt sweetie".

Penelope sighed and said, "well the important thing is that me and our daughter are fine", Fran said, "wait, did you say daughter"?, Penelope looked at Derek and said, "you didn't tell her we were having a girl"?, he shook his head and said, "I was going to but I wanted to see the look on her face when you told her".

Fran smiled and said, "another little girl, I can't wait", Penelope giggled and said, "yeah me either", Penelope sighed and Fran said, "is something wrong honey"?, she said, "I have to stay in bed on complete bed rest until our daughter gets here". Fran gently rubbed her stomach and said, "that is to make sure that you and the baby stay safe".

Penelope halfheartedly smiled and said, "I know but that is almost 2 months", Derek rubbed her stomach and said, "that time will pass before you know it baby girl and soon we will be holding our little girl in our arms". She smiled and said, "you always know what to say handsome", he kissed her lips ever so gently and said, "I love you".

Fran smiled and said, "well I better get these two angels home", Penelope grinned and said, "give them a kiss for me and tell them that I love them very very much". Fran grinned and said, "I will honey", Derek said, "would you like me to help you get the twins loaded in the car mama"?, she smiled and said,"I think I will be ok baby boy, but thanks".

Derek said, "I will give JJ and Reid a call and see if they can come over and give you a hand, it isn't easy taking care of twins", she smiled and thanked him and said, "all help will be greatly appreciated". Fran smiled and waved at the couple as she headed out of the room, Penelope smiled when Derek sat back down on the bed with her.

He looked lovingly into her eyes and said, "I love you so much baby and I don't know what I would do if anything would happen to you", she caressed the side of his face and said, "I love you to handsome and you are gonna be stuck with me forever and ever". Derek laughed and said, "I am gonna hold you to that goddess".
