Rescuing Of Innocence-Ch 29
Over the next few weeks started not only the planning of Derek and Penelpes wedding but Traceys birthday, her 4th birthday and they wanted to make sure that it was perfect. They were having a princess birthday party for her and she was getting to dress like her favorite princess Ariel and she was oh so excited for that.
Penelope was in the kitchen working on cookies for the party when she was hit with a wave of nausea, she looked around to make sure nobody was around before she grabbed some saltines out of the cabinet. She slid her hand down to her stomach and said, "easy little one, be good for mommy please" as she sat down at the table.
Derek walked into the kitchen and said, "you alright sweetness"?, she said, "yeah handsome, just tired", he kissed the top of her head and said, "we have a very excited princess out there in the back yard". Penelope said, "I don't doubt it, she's been excited all day handsome" and Derek said, "I hope that today is everything she wants it to be".
He grabbed a platter and said, "I better head back outside, you sure you're okay"?, she said, "positive angel, positive", he leaned down and kissed her lips and said, "I love you". She winked at him and said, "I love you to Adonis", he winked at her and turned around and headed back outside.
She had just found out a few hours earlier that she was indeed pregnant, she couldn't wait to tell Derek and the others but today was Tracey's day and she wanted it to be perfect for her. She took a sip of water and said, "now how to tell you"?, JJ walked into the room and said, "tell who what Garcie"?, Penelope said, "nothing gumdrop, nothing".
JJ looked at her friend and said, "you alright, you're looking pretty pale there"?, Penelope said, "I'm okay, just a little nauseated", JJ smiled and said, "and you've been tired a lot lately, does this mean what I'm thinking it means"?, Penelope put her finger to her lips and said, "pleaseeeeeee don't say anything Jayje, I just found out this morning".
JJ said, "I won't tell I promise" as she hugged her friend, Penelope said, "I can't wait to tell Derek but today is Traceys day", JJ said, "ahhhhhh, so have you thought of a way to tell him tonight"?, Penelope bit down on her bottom lip and said, "hmmmm, maybe Jayje, maybe" as she took another sip of water.
About half an hour later Derek said, "alright birthday girl are you ready"?, Tracey rubbed her hands together and said, "weady daddy" as she climbed up into her chair. In font of her was a huge cake that was lovingly made by Fran. The cake looked like a castle, Ariels castle and as Tracey looked at it she couldn't help but smile.
Ariel beamed with happiness as everybody sung happy birthday to her and when they were finished she leaned in and closed her eyes and made a wish before blowing out her candles. Penelope stepped forward and started cutting the cake, she put the first piece down in front of Tracey as Derek then cut cake for the others.
Tracey took a bite and said, "nummyyyyy", she looked up at Fran and said, "fank you nana Fwan", Fran kissed the little girl on top of the head and said, "you're very welcome baby". The family smiled as they all spent the next hour laughing and eating cake, ice cream, sandwiches, chips and drinking their sodas and punch.
As the gifts were handed to Tracey she smiled, the first gift was from Reid, JJ and Henry, she opened the box to reveal a huge castle, a castle that looked just like her birthday cake. Tracey said, "awighttttttt", she looked up at Derek and said, "wook daddy, it's wike my birfey day cake".
Derek tapped the end of her nose and said, "it sure is, now what are you suppose to say to uncle Reid, aunt JJ and Henry"?, Tracey looked at them and said, "fank you soooooooooo much, I lub it". Reid grinned and said, "we're glad you like it sweetie" as everybody smiled on.
The next gift was from Hotch, Emily and Jack, as she opened it she said, "wowwwwwwww", Derek helpled her pull out a Ariel doll, a doll that was as tall as Tracey was. Emily said, "do you like it princess"?, Tracey smiled and said, "I do, fank you aunt Emiwy, unca Awwon and Jack".
Hotch said, "you're welcome Tracey", next gift was from Dave and Fran, she opened the box and picked up some tickets and she looked up at Dave and said, "what's dis nonno"?, Dave grinned and said, "these little one are tickets". She said, "tickets, tickets for what"? he said, "tickets to take you to Disney Land".
Tracey jumped up and said, "weally, weally"?, Dave wrapped his arms around her and said, "yes really, we're all going to Disney Land, I have tickets and have made arrangements for everybody to go". Derek said, "what do you say to nonno and nana Fran"?, she hugged him tight and said, "fank you, fank you, fank you".
Fran laughed and said, "you're welcome honey, so very very welcome", Penelope said, "their is one more gift and this one is from me and daddy", Tracey looked up at them and smiled. Derek said, "take daddy's hand", Tracey put her little hand in his and he helped her down out of her seat and led her and the others to the end of the yard.
She saw a huge papered area and said, "what's dat daddy"?, Derek said, "pull right here", she pulled and the paper ripped and she said, "yayyyyyyyyyy, my twee house, I gots a twee house". She looked at Henry and Jack and said, "wanna pway in da twee house wif me"?, both little boys nodded their heads yes and smiled as they ripped the rest of the paper off and ran inside.
Penelope said, "do you like it"?, she ran back out and hugged Derek and Penelope and said, "I lubs it, fank you, fank you", they kissed her on top of the head and then Derek put her down and said, "we're glad you like it princess". Penelope said, "go play" and she clapped her hands and ran back inside to join Jack and Henry as the adults sat back down and started talking about
the trip to Disney Land.
