The next few days passed by quickly for Penelope, Derek, Fran, the twins and the team kept her busy and before she knew it she was sitting on the side of her bed waiting on Dr. Anderson to bring her release papers to her. Derek kissed her lips gently and said, "it won't be long goddess and then we will get to head home and then it is bed time for you".
She looked up at him and started to say something and he covered her lips with his fingers and said, "baby girl I know that you remember what the doctor told us a few days ago". Penelope nodded her head yes and Derek said, "I love you and want you and our daughter to be safe and I know that being on complete bedrest is going to be hard but baby you have to do it".
Penelope smiled when Derek leaned over and gently pressed his lips aginst hers, when they pulled apart she said, "I'm sorry handsome, I don't mean to be a pain in the butt but it is just so hard to lay in bed all day and not be able to get up". Derek brought her hand to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "I know goddess but we will do our best to keep you busy, I promise".
Penelope couldn't help but grin when she saw the doctor walk into the room with her papers, she handed them to Derek and said, "just make sure that she stays in bed and if she has any more problems please contact me as soon as possible". Derek looked at Penelope and then at the doctor and said, "don't worry we will".
Dr. Anderson walked over to Penelope and said, "I know that the next several weeks is going to be hard on you Penelope but please try to be patient and stay in bed". She took a deep breath and said, "I will doctor, I promise", she gently squeezed Penelopes hand and said, "if you need anything please call me anytime".
She smiled as she saw the nurse come into the room pushing a wheelchair, Derek laughed and said, "well baby your ride is here", she said, "do I have to use the chair"?, Dr. Anderson nodded her head and said, "yes Penelope, the only walking I want you to do as little walking as you can", she sighed and said,
"ok, I won't do anything to hurt this baby", she rubbed her stomach after Derek helped her into the chair.
She waved as she they headed toward the elevator, once inside Derek leaned over and kissed the top of her head and said, "I love you baby", she looked up at him and said, "I love you to". The nurse stood with Penelope while Derek pulled the car around, Penelope smiled when the nurse helped her into the car before turning and heading toward the door.
The ride home was quiet, Derek looked over at Penelope and said, "are you alright baby"?, she looked over at him and smiled and said, "yes handsome, I'm fine". Derek smiled and said, "baby you are really quiet", she sighed and said, "I was just trying to imagine what our daughter is going to look like when she is born".
Derek reached over and intertwined their fingers and brought her hand to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "she is going to be beautiful just like her momma". She laughed and said, "you always know what to say handsome", he winked at her and said, "I'm only saying the truth goddess", she laughed and said, "you are good for my ego".
Derek smiled as they pulled into the driveway, he walked over to the other side of the car and opened Penelopes door, she stood up and he gently picked her up and said, "up we go baby girl". She laughed and said, "handsome why are you carrying me"?, he smiled and said, "because I am trying to take care of my baby girls".
Penelope grinned and said, "you need to put me down handsome, I am huge and you are going to hurt your back", he winked at her and said, "baby you are not huge and I'm not going to hurt my back". She opened her mouth and he said, "hush woman, I love you and I am going to carry you", she held her hands up in defeat and said, "alright, alright, carry away handsome".
When they walked up on the porch JJ opened the door and said, "welcome home Garcie", she smiled and said, "thanks Jayje", Derek said, "where are the little ones"?, JJ laughed and said, "watch this". Derek and Penelope watched as JJ said, "mommy's homeeeee", the twins came running wobbily through the house squealing in delight that their mom was finally home.
Derek sat her down on the couch and said, "you can sit here for a few minutes and then it is beddie bye time for you", she laughed and said, "alright my love, just please let me spend a few minutes with the twins first". Derek winked at her and smiled when the twins both laid their heads on her knee and started patting her leg.
Penelope said, "awwwww did you miss mommy"?, they both looked at her and laughed, JJ said, "so how are you doing Garcie"?, Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "we're good, I'm not suppose to walk much until the baby is born buttttttt once the baby is born I am gonna sooooo make up for my down time",
everybody laughed.
Derek put the twins on the couch with Penelope and said, "be easy with mommy ok, she has an owwie", Dustin sat on one side of her and Danni on the other and they gently laid their heads on her stomach. A few minutes later when Penelope looked down she couldn't help but smile when she saw that both twins had fallen asleep.
JJ and Fran walked over and picked up the twins and headed toward the nursery, JJ looked over her shoulder and said, "we are gonna go ahead and lay them down and let them sleep". Derek picked Penelope up and headed towards the stairs, he said, "I'm gonna take baby girl upstairs and help her get ready for bed and tuck her in".
Penelope said, "come up and see me later girlies, we can catch up", JJ and Fran nodded their heads in agreement as they walked through the door to the nursery. Penelope sighed as Derek sat her down on the end of the bed, he said, "baby what would you like to change into"?, she smiled at him and said, "how about my pink nightshirt that says, "baby on board".
Derek grinned as he headed over to her dresser, when he turned around Penelope stood up long enough to slip the shirt down over her body, she kissed her chocolate adonis on the lips before laying down and leaning her back against the back board. Derek walked around to the other side of the bed and laid down with her and said, "are you comfortable baby girl"?, she smiled and said, "yes handsome, now how about we watch a movie"?, he handed her the remote and said, "you go ahead and pick a movie and I will just lay here and watch you".
Penelope laughed as she started clicking the remote trying to find a good movie
