Best Laid Plans-Ch 33
Over the next couple of days Derek and Penelope enjoyed their time alone and their time with their family as they had no contact with either Savannah or Kevin. Penelope was getting stronger everyday and her ribs and leg were healing and Derek had been released but was still sitting by his baby girls bedside.
They spent the days laughing and talking and they spent the nights cuddled up together in her bed, they couldn't wait for her to get well enough so that she could get released so they could start their lives together as a couple. Derek knew that it would still be several weeks before Penelopes leg was healed but he had planned on spoiling her rotten while she healed with him at his place.
Even though they hadn't seen or heard from Savannah and Kevin that didn't mean that their plan was over, sadly they were still working together and being safer by only contacting each other via phone and text messages. Savannah still intended to do whatever it took to be Dereks woman and stay by his side.
Kevin had decided after being away from Penelope for several days that he would head to the hospital for a visit, when he walked to her door he smiled as he saw her sleeping peacefully. He walked over to her bed and leaned down and gently brushed his lips against her cheek, she moved a little but didn't wake up.
He decided to turn around and walk out of the room, he didn't want to disturb her, he would come back again later because he needed to make sure to get his point across that she belonged with him, not with Derek. He knew that if he kept confronting her that she would eventually break and then she would be his, all his.
As he stepped out into the hall he felt himself being grabbed by the shoulders and slammed into the wall, he looked up to see the very angry face of Derek Morgan in front of him. Derek said, "what do you think you're doing here"?, Kevin said, "Morgan you're looking good, how are the ribs and leg doing"?, Derek said, "not that you care but they are both healing nicely".
Kevin said, "w w why are you still here with plumsauce if you're healing, it's obvious from your clothes that you have been released so why stay"?, Derek leaned in and said, "because she's my girl and I'm not leaving her until we are able to leave together and then we are going back to my house where she will spend the rest of her life with me, by my side".
Kevin blew out a deep breath and said, "nooooooooooooo, nooooooooo, that can't happen, she doesn't belong with you, she belongs with a man that will love her for her and trust me you man whore that person isn't you". Derek said, "get out of here you sneaky weasel and if you come back I'll make sure that you regret it".
Just to bring his point home he leaned in and said, "do you understand me"?, Kevin nodded his head and said, "uhhhh, yeah, yeah I get it, I get it", Derek then released him and said, "good, now go". Kevin sighed and then pulled himself from the wall and made his way toward the elevator.
Derek watched as he stepped inside and the doors closed, he blew out a deep breath and said, "if their is one thing my baby girl doesn't need it's that fool" as he slowly walked into her room. He strolled over to her bedside and sat down, he gently took her hand in his and brought it to his lips and kissed it.
He sat there smiling and looking at the face of the beautiful woman he was hopefully going to be spending the rest of his life with, his baby girl, his goddess, his Penelope.
