When We First Met

Ch 36

Penelope wrapped her arm around her aunts waist and laid her head down on her shoulder and said, "I'm so sorry auntie", Carmen laid her head down and rested it on Penelope's and said, "it's not that I'm disappointed in you sweetie it's that I know exactly how you feel and what you are going through".

Penelope sighed and said, "did you have a little boy or girl"?, she wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face and said, "I had a very beautiful little girl and the only thing I know about her was that she weighed 6 lbs 3 oz and was 21 inches long and that she was a beautiful light brown skinned angel".

Carmen took a deep breath and said, "I never got to watch my baby grow up or experience all of her firsts and that my beautiful niece is why I am going to be there for you and your little one and make sure that you are with her no matter what". Penelope put her hand in her aunts hand and said, "I love you auntie, I love you so much".

Carmen smiled and said, "I love you to honey", Penelope said, "I love Derek so much and he loves me auntie, he truly does", Carmen kissed the top of her head and said, "of that I never doubted honey, not for the first time". She took a deep breath and said, "well now that we have had our little talk why don't you run upstairs and hug that handsome boyfriend/husband of yours".

Penelope stood up and said, "you are the best aunt in the world and I love you with all my heart", Carmen laughed and said, "I love you to peanut now get upstairs to the man of yours". Penelope laughed as she headed off toward the stairs, Carmen put her face in her hands and let the tears fall.

when Penelope walked into her room she walked over to the window and put her hands on her stomach and said, "nobody is gonna keep me from you little one, nobody". Derek wrapped his arms around her waist and said, "what are you talking about, who's trying to keep me away from you"?, she laughed and said, "nobody handsome, I was talking to the baby".

He turned her around and said, "what are you talking about"?, she led him over to the bed and sat down beside him and filled him on what her aunt had told her downstairs. Derek said, "so that's why she was so worried when we told her that you were pregnant"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes handsome".

Derek put his hand on her stomach and said, "I promise you that nobody will ever keep us apart, we are a family and it's going to stay that way baby girl". She kissed his lips gently and said, "I love you handsome, so very very much", he rested his forehead against hers and said, "I love you to baby girl, more than I ever thought possible".

She pulled away and walked over and closed and locked the door and turned back around to him and said, "show me how much you love me Derek, I need you to make love to me". He intertwined their fingers and said, "it would be my pleasure Penelope", he led her over to the bed where they wasted no time in getting each other undressed and seconds later they were rolling on the bed making slow passionate love.

Fran walked into the room and saw Carmen looking out the window, she walked over and said, "are you alright Carmen"?, she wiped her eyes and said, "I'm fine Fran, just thinking that's all". Fran smiled and said, "I've made some tea would you like some"?, she nodded her head and said, "I would love some thank you".

Fran walked back into the kitchen and put the tea into a pot and carried it and two cups on a tray into the living room where the two friends sat and talked. Carmen had filled Fran in on what had happened to her when she was younger which made Fran totally understand where Carmen was coming from.

Fran put her hand on Carmen's and said, "when my James and I were first married, I guess we had been married for about 6 months I found out that I was pregnant". Carmen listened as Fran continued by saying, "at first things were great and then about 6 weeks into the pregnancy I started bleeding and James rushed me to the hospital where I later miscarried the baby".

Carmen said, "ohhhh Fran, I'm so sorry honey", Fran took a deep breath and said, "I haven't told the kids about the miscarriage other than James and my parents you are the only other person that knows". Carmen put her hand on her friends and said, "you don't have to worry, your secret is safe with me".

Fran smiled and said, "I never doubted it for a minute", meanwhile upstairs Penelope collapses on the bed beside Derek and says, "that was amazing my chocolate adonis". He laughed and kissed her head and said, "what am I gonna do with you silly girl"?, she looked up at him and wiggled her eyebrows and said, "wellllll I have a few ideas".

She grinned as he hovered over her for a few seconds and said, "yeah I have a few ideas of my own" and they both gasped in pleasure as he thrusted himself back inside her. As they moved together as one their lives were perfect, they were all together and safe and with the news of the baby it just seemed that things couldn't get any better.

Meanwhile the goons take a deep breath as they step off their plane and head toward the waiting car, little did Penelope and Derek know that hell was getting ready to fly off the hinges".
