Dead Man Walking-Ch 19
About an hour later Todd was standing across the street from Frans house, he looked and saw one car in the driveway, he sighed and said, "if I get any closer they might see me". He saw movement in the house and stepped back beside a building and watched as a younger woman pushed the curtain open, he said, "ahhhhhh yes Desiree Morgan, Dereks younger sister".
She stood there for a few seconds and then closed the curtain, Todd said, "if she's in there chances are that Penelope is to but I'm not going to call Kevin unless I know for sure she's here". Meanwhile inside the house Penelope stood up and walked into the kitchen to grab herself a glass of water, as she stood at the sink she felt two hands wrap around her waist and then she felt lips on the side of her neck.
Penelope bit down on her bottom lip and whispered, "we have to be careful my boyfriend is a jealous jealous man", Derek laughed and said, "he better be to keep a sexy woman like you happy". She turned in his arms and said, "I love you hotstuff, I love you so much, I hope you really know that", he leaned in and gently brushed his lips against hers and said, "of course I know that baby girl and I love you just as much".
She grinned and said, "I just want this to be over and for everybody to be safe", he rested his forehead against hers and said, "I know sweetness, me too, their is nothing I want more than to know that you and our little one are both safe". Penelope's hand slid down to her stomach and his quickly covered hers.
Penelope said, "I can't believe so much has happened in the past month", Derek said, "me either, I'm finally with the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with and we're going to have a baby". She grinned and said, "I love you Derek Michael Morgan, now and forever hotstuff, now and forever" as she pulled him in for a kiss, she said, "I can't wait to hold our baby in my arms",
Derek laughed and said, "me to baby, me to" as he pulled her in for another kiss, they broke apart when Desi said, "oh sorry guys didn't mean to interrupt you". Penelope said, "no problem Desi, what's up""?, she sighed and said "can I talk to Penelope alone for a sec Derek"?, he said, "sure sis" and he winked at Penelope before turning around and walking into the living room to rejoin the team.
Penelope said, "what's wrong Desi"?, Desi said, "nothings wrong, something is right, it's oh so right", Penelope grinned and said, "it's Luke isn't it"?, Desi said, "I've never met anybody like him before". Penelope listened as Desi said, "I love him Penelope, I mean I love him with all of my heart", Penelope said, "I'm so happy for you and I can tell by the way he looks at you that he's in love with you to".
Desi said, "really"?, Penelope hugged the younger woman and said, "yes definitely" and Desi said, "thanks for listening to me", Penelope said, "any time honey, any time" as they walked into the living room to join the rest of their family. Penelope walked over to the window and caught a glimpse of something across the street, she didn't want to pull the curtain back to chance being seen but as she looked across the street she gasped.
Derek said "what's wrong baby girl"?, she said, "Todd's here, he's across the street", Hotch said, "alright it's time to kick this plan into motion" and everybody nodded their heads yes in agreement. Derek pulls Penelope into his arms and kisses her lips gently and says, "I love you baby girl and soon this will all be over".
Todd watched from across the street as Penelope pushed the curtain open and looked out into the street, he pulled his cell phone out and dialed Kevins number. After a few rings Kevin said, "please tell me you've found her", Todd said, "oh yeah I've found them, I've found them all", Kevin said, "good, good we're on our way just keep your eyes on them", Todd said, "don't worry I will, I will" and after the call ended he put his cell back into his pocket and said, "soon Penelope, soon" and then watched the house closely as he waited on Kevin and the others to arrive.
