Thanksgiving Surprise-Ch 18

The ride to the hospital was going good and then they were stopped in traffic, Derek looked around and said, "baby, we're stuck here, it looks like their has been a bad accident up ahead". Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "hotstuff, my contractions are coming about every 4 to 5 minutes, I don't know how much time we have left before he or see comes"

Derek pulled out his cell and dialed his mom again, after a few rings she said, "baby boy, where are you and my daughter-in-law, we're all here at the hospital waiting on you two". Derek said, "ma their has been an accident up in front of us here on main street, we're about 15 minutes away and we're stuck in traffic and their is noooooo way for us to get out of here and to top all of that baby girls contractions are 4 to 5 minutes apart".

Fran said, "don't worry their is still plenty of time to get her to the hospital before she delivers, how is she doing?", Derek looked at his wife and said, "how are you doin sweetness?", she said, "okayyyyyyyyyyyy" as another contraction hit. Derek glanced down at his watch and said, "her contractions are coming about 3 minutes now momma", Fran said, "don't worry Aaron and Dave are on the way, they are getting help from police and medics, they'll reach you in a few minutes".

Fran bit down on her bottom and said, "we need to keep her concentrating on something, anything else to try to ease the contractions", Derek smiled and said, "sweetness, do you remember how you told me you were pregnant?", she looked up at him and laughed and said, "yeah I remember". Penelope grinned and said, "it was killing me that i had to wait for us to go home before I could tell you butttttt since I left a few minutes before you did I had time to get home and slip into my surprise".

Penelope had been waiting on her husband at the door, she was all smiles as he opened the door and straight into her arms, they kissed for several minutes before moving to the living room where she had a romantic setting in place with pillows laying in front of the fireplace just waiting on the two of them. Derek grinned at her and said, "so this is what you came home early for?", she said, "yes sirrrrrr and I have another surprise for you", he wrapped his arms around her and said, "ohhhhh I love surprises", she said, "alright then unwrap me and see what your surprise is".

Derek tugged at the belt to her sexy outfit and when it opened he saw a piece of paper taped to her teddy, he said, "what's this?", she said, "read it", Derek sighed and said, "well it says, congratulations daddy, I'll see you soon", he froze and said, "waittttt, daddy, does this mean, are you, are we?", she said, "I am and we are, congratulations daddy" as he claimed her lips with his in a passionate kiss, she was however pulled from the memory of that night as that familiar ache started again.

Penelope grabbed his hand and said, "here comes another oneeeeeeeeee" and Derek said, "remember your breathing goddess, one, two, three breatheeeeeeee" and when the contraction she relaxed against the seat. Fran said, "put the phone on speaker", Derek did what he was told and Fran said, "hand on honey, help is on the way", Reid walked over and said, "Hotch said that the police are about two minutes out and the medics are right behind them".

Penelope said, "boy wonder, have I ever told you how much I love youuuuuuuuu" as another contraction hit, Derek said, "one, two, three breatheeeee baby girl, just breatheeeeeeee" and as the contraction eased she smiled at Derek and said, "I love you". He kissed her sweaty cheek and said, "and I love you baby girl, now and forever and ever" causing her to smile up at him with so much love in her eyes.

In the background Derek and Penelope could hear the sounds of sirens, Derek said, "they're getting closer" and about a minute later he heard a tapping on the window and he looked up to see Dave and Hotch standing there. Derek said, "Hotch and Dave are here, we'll be there soon, love you guys", Fran said, "love you too" as the call ended.

Dave and Hotch stood back with Derek and watched as the medics got her out of the car and put onto the gurney, before they could get her loaded into the back of the ambulance she was hit with contraction after contraction. The medic looked up at them and said, "she's fully dilated and ready to deliver, we won't make it to the hospital in time", Derek looked at Penelope and said, "goddess are you ready to meet our son our daughter?", she nodded her head yes and grabbed his hand as the ambulance door shut.
