Why-Ch 54

The next couple of months flew by and both Destiny and Melody were growing bigger and stronger with each passing day, Penelope was back to working part time, she didn't want to spend a lot of time away from Destiny, not yet. Hank was the perfect big brother, even though he was only a year older than her his eyes practically lit up when Penelope brought her into the room.

Melody was the apple of Henrys eyes, he was doing everything he could to help JJ with her and Michael, Reid was constantly bragging on how proud he was of the role Henry was taking with the babies. JJ to had gone back to work part time, with two babies at home she was splitting her time between working with the team and with the babies and Reid at home.

Sarah had been dating a nice man named Toby and they were getting very serious, he had taken her away for the weekend and when they came back home Sarah couldn't wait to show everybody her engagement ring. Sarah wanted a small wedding with only their family and friends, they were married three weeks after getting engaged.

Desiree had been feeling nauseated for the past few days, Fran smiled and said, "honey I think I know whats wrong", Desiree said, "what momma, stomach bug"?, Fran shook her head and said, "let me ask you a question first". Desiree looked at her as she said, "when was your last period"?, Desiree said, "well that was" and she couldn't remember so she grabbed her purse and checked her calendar.

She covered her mouth with her hand and said, "momma I haven't had a period in 3 months do you think I'm pregnant"?, Fran said, "the team is out of town on a case and Penelope and Sarah are here so why don't I let them know that you and I are heading out and we'll get you checked out". Desiree nodded her head and said, "sounds good momma but don't say anything until we can find out for sure one way or another".

Fran nodded her head yes in agreement and walked out of the room to tell Penelope and Sarah that her and Desiree were heading out for a while, Desiree slid her hand down onto her stomach and said, "could I be pregnant, are we having a baby". She was pulled out of her thoughts when her mom said, "come on honey let's go get you checked out", Desiree nodded her head and then grabbed her things as they both headed out of the house.

JJ opted to stay home with the kids instead of heading out of town with the team, she was sitting in the living room watching Melody and Michael in their swings and she was watching Henry playing with his trucks. She loved her babies and would do anything it took to make sure that they were all safe and happy children.

At the ER Desiree and Fran were sitting in a small cubicle waiting on her blood test results, Desiree turned to her mom and said, "it I'm pregnant do you think I'm ready to be a mom"?, Fran took her daughters hand in hers and said, "I do, you baby girl are going to be the best mommy and you are oh so ready", Desiree said ,"really"?, Fran laughed and said, "yes really".

The doctor pulled the curtain back and walked into the room, she smiled and said, "congratulations Desiree, you're pregnant, about 12 weeks", Desiree put her hand on her stomach and said, "really, a baby"?, the doctor handed her a prescription for prenatal vitamins and said, "yes really, a baby". Fran hugged her daughter and said, "congratulations mommy".

Desiree said, "we have so much to do, we have to get an OB, get a nursery ready, we the house baby proofed", Fran said, "I can think of something that you need to do first". Desiree said, "what momma"?, Fran laughed and said, "well first you have to tell your husband that he's going to be a daddy", Desiree wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face and she said, "I'll tell him over face time tonight".

The doctor said, "congratulations Desi", Desiree said, "thanks Mandy", Mandy said, "you're going to make a good mommy and Luke is going to be a good daddy", Desiree hugged her friend and said, "thank you". A few minutes later mother and daughter were happily walking out of the doctors office and heading toward their car.

As she climbed into the car and shut the door Desiree said, "I can't believe it, baby, I'm going to have a baby", Fran said, "everybody is going to be so happy for you and Luke". Desiree said, "I can't wait to tell Penelope, she's gonna freak", Fran started the car and laughed as she said, "this baby is going to be so sooooo spoiled" and Desiree laughed and said, "no doubt momma, no doubt" as they pulled out of the parking lot and headed home.
