Chasing Happiness-Ch 54
By the time Derek ran into the room Penelope was fully dilated and ready to deliver, he went straight over to her bedside and kissed her on the lips and said, "I'm so sorry that I wasn't here, I knew I should have stayed home". Penelope smiled and said, "it's alright handsome, it's alrighttttttttt" as another hard contraction hit her.
Savannah said, "alright Penelope on the next contraction I need you to push and don't stop until I tell you to, okay"?, she nodded her head and said, "okay", when she felt the contraction coming she squeezed Dereks hand and she did just what Savannah said and at the end of the contraction she fell against the bed. Derek wiped her forehead and said, "you're doing good baby girl, so so good".
Penelope looked up at him and said, "I'm sorry about the car", he said, "don't worry about that car, the important thing is that you are alright", he looked down at Savannah and said, "she is alright right"?, she said, "yeah other than some cuts and scratches she's fine". Savannah said, "rest while you can Penelope okay"?, Derek wiped her forehead again as she nodded her head yes.
About 25 minutes later the sound of a crying baby filled the room, Penelope looked down and said, "is the baby alright, is the baby alright"?, she smiled as she cleaned it up a little and then said, "awww yeah he's fine". Derek looked at Penelope and then they both looked at her and said in unison, "he"?, she laughed as she cut the cord and then handed the baby to his momma.
Derek said, "ohhhh goddess he's gorgeous", Penelope looked down at Savannah and said, "thank you", she said, "you did all the hard work, I was just here for the ride Penelope". Penelope said, "uhhhh Savannah"?, she said, "are you alright"?, she said, "I feel another contraction coming on", Savannah raised the sheet and said, "I see another head".
Derek said, "another head, we're having twins"?, Savannah said, "I take it that was a surprise"?, Penelope and Derek both nodded their head yes, Savannah called for the nurse to come over and take the first baby as they readied for baby number 2. Penelope said, "how could all of those tests have missed this"?, she looked down at them and said, "well the first baby could have been bigger than the other one thus allowing the second baby to hide".
Penelope raised up and said, "here comes another contraction", Savannah said, "you're doing great Penelope and in a few minutes you are going to be holding this baby in your arms". She squeezed Dereks hand as she pushed and pushed through contraction after contraction before collapsing exahausted against the pillows, Derek kissed her forehead and said, "you are doing so good baby girl".
JJ and the rest of the team ran into the hospital and straight over to the front desk, the older woman said, "can I help you"?, Hotch flashed his badge and said, "we are here for our collegue Penelope Morgan, she was brought here in labor after a car accident". The nurse smiled and said, "she is in delivery right now", Emily said,
"do you know how she's doing"?, the woman shook her head and said, "I'm afraid not but if you have a seat right over there I'll see if I can find something out for you".
Dave pulled out his cell and dialed Frans number, she was just getting the twins fastened into their booster seat as she hit talk and said, "how's the case going"?,
Dave said, "have you picked the twins up yet"?, she said, "yeah me and Maggie are picking them up now, why"?, he said, "you need to get down here to community hospital at the corner of Hudson and Grace avenue".
Fran got in the drivers side of the car and said, "are you alright, is something wrong with Derek"?, he said, "no Bella we're fine", she said, "well then why"? and he said, "Penelope was in a minor car accident that brought on labor, she's in delivery right now". Fran smiled from ear to ear and said, "we'll be there as soon as we can".
Savannah looked up at an exhausted Penelope and said, "on the next contraction we're going to deliver the baby, are you ready"?, she nodded her head and said, "I'm ready, I'm ready". No sooner had those words fell from her lips then she was hit with the hardest contraction she had been hit with all day, she squeezed Dereks hand and screamed.
At the end of the contraction Penelope fell against the bed and smiled as the sound of the babys cries filled the room
