Bachelor Party-Ch 38
The next few days flew by and Derek and the men were busy working on the nursery while Fran and the girls all kept Penelope and baby Abby company in their hospital room. Fran grinned as she watched Penelope holding her daughter in her arms, she was practically glowing with happiness as she kissed the little girl on the top of the head.
Sarah said, "she's beautiful Penelope", Desiree said, "she is the sweetest baby I have ever seen", Penelope said, "I love this little angel so much and she's only been here for a few days". JJ said, "from the minute I saw Henry I was a goner", Emily said, "I know what you mean Jayje when the doctor put Jack in my arms and I saw that little face that was it for me".
Fran said, "when each of my babies were born they all grabbed a piece of my heart and that part will always belong to them and one day when my girls have babies of their own they will see and understand what I mean". Penelope looked up at Fran and said, "would you like to hold her"?, Fran held out her arms and grinned happily as she looked down in her arms at the sleeping baby.
Derek looked up at Hotch and said, "what do you think"?, he turned his head to the side and said, "Penelope is going to love it Derek", Reid and Dave were working on one side of the nursery and Hotch and Derek were working on the other side. Reid said, "Abby is going to love that mobile", Dave grinned and said, "I agree with Spencer, she is gonna love the little bears".
Hotch said, "and the fairies on the other mobile for the other crib are adorable", he grinned and said, "Penelope picked those out, she loved them and so I got both of them". Reid said, "okay both changing tables are up and ready", Derek said, "nice job Reid", Dave said, "okay the diapers are in the table and the first and second shelves of the closet are filled with onesies and then the closet has all different colors of little dresses for the princess".
Hotch said, "I have these drawers and closet ready for Abby, all of the things she got at the baby shower are in here, what do you guys think"?, Derek said, "they look great, Penelope is gonna love them don't you think"?, they all nodded their heads in agreement". Dave said, "now what about the big surprise, is it ready"?, he nodded his head and said, "it is, Payton and the others are gone to pick it up and a couple of things they wanted to get for the babies".
Dave said, "I think we did a great job, it took us a couple of days but we got it finished", Hotch put his hands on his hips and said, "how is Garcia really doing with the whole Savannah thing"?, Derek ran his hand over his head and said, "I think she's doing great, she loves me and Abby and she also loves the baby that might be mine with Savannah becasue it is part of me".
Dave said, "kitten is a special person", Derek smiled and said, "that she is, she is making every effort to be there for Savannah", Hotch said, "has she contacted you since she found out you two were married"?, he nodded his head and said, "yes she called the day Abby was born", Reid looked around and said, "and how did that go"?, Derek sighed and said, "well she was upset and disappointed that Penelope and I were married, she said that it was suppose to be us married and not me and baby girl".
Hotch said, "I've already talked to a judge friend of mine and if she tries anything you and Penelope will be given custody of your daughter", he smiled and said, "I hope it doesn't come to that". Hotch took a deep breath and said, "so do I but if it does, we're ready", Derek said, "what if the baby isn't mine"?, Hotch said, "well since you were told that she is yours you could probably still get custody or temporary custody, that is if the biological father doesn't want her".
Reid looked at his watch and said, "we better get cleaned up and grab dinner and head to the hospital", Derek sighed happily and said, "a family dinner is what we all need right now". Hotch put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "that we do Morgan, that we do", they cleaned up the room before turning the lighs off and walking out of the room.
