With A Little Help From My Son-Ch 12
The next few days were Jasmine free and Derek and Penelope loved it, they loved being able to spend time alone and time with the family, Hank couldn't help but smile as he saw how happy his dad was with Penelope. Derek and Penelope spent every night together and most of the day to, they couldn't seem to get enough of each other.
Today was different, today JJ, Emily and Fran were treating Penelope to a girls day out while the men stayed at home with the kids and Derek so that they could get the scoop on how things were going with Penelope. When the girls walked into the spa JJ said, "soooooo"?, Penelope said, "sooooo what"?, Emily said, "just look at her she's totally head over heels in love with Morgan".
Fran said, "girls don't pick on my future daughter in law", Penelope said, "d d daughter in law"?, Fran said, "only teasing honey, I don't want to scare you off, not now that my son and grandson are finally happy". Penelope grinned and said, "they are both very special to me, I care about them, I care a lot'.
Emily said, "and they both love you to", Penelope felt her mouth get dry and she excused herself for a drink of water, when she walked out of the room JJ said, "they are both soooo in love but Penelopes afraid that since they've only known each other for a week that it's not love, she's afraid to say out loud her true feelings for Derek", the woman all nodded their heads in agreement.
Meanwhile Penelope stood sipping a cold glass of water and she said to herself, "I lo, I love him", she smiled and said, "I love Derek", she turned around when she heard the girls say in unison, "IT'S ABOUT TIME". Penelope said, "did I say that out loud"?, Fran walked over and pulled the scared woman in her arms and said, "yes, yes you did dear" as they walked into the room for their facial.
Meanwhile on the beach the men sat drinking their coffee while the boys all played with Clooney, Dave said, "they're having a great time", Derek glanced over his shoulder and said, "everybody is". Reid said, "soooooo tell us", Derek said, "tell you what pretty boy"?, Hotch said, "how are things going with Penelope"?, Derek sighed happily as he took another sip of coffee.
Dave said, "can't you tell by the look on his face, he's in love", Reid said, "his pupils are dilated, his heart races whenever they're together and they can't keep their hands off of each other, yep, it's definitely love". Derek said, "it's been a long time since I've had these feelings but I, I do, I love Penelope, I'm in love with Penelope".
Hank looked up and smiled and Jack said, "what are you smiling about"?, Hank said, "dad, he's so happy with Penelope", Henry said, "do you like her"? Hank nodded his head and said, "she's perfect for me and daddy both". Jack grinned and said, "do you want her to be your new mommy"?, he nodded his head and said, "I do, I do" as he threw the Frisbee and they watched Clooney run after it.
Just as they were getting ready to hit the water Hank looked up and saw somebody going into their house, he got Jack and Henrys attention and they all ran out of the water. By the time they got to the house their was no sign of anybody, Jack said, "we need to tell our dads what happened"?, Hank nodded his head in agreement as they turned around and headed out of the beach house.
When they were out on the beach Jasmine stepped out of the closet and said, "that was close" as she pulled a vial out of her purse and opened the fridge and poured the contents of the vial into the pitcher of lemonade on the top shelf. She grinned and said, "that oughta do it" as she turned around and headed quickly and quietly out of casa Morgan and back up the beach toward her house.
Outside on the beach the boys ran over to the men and Dave said, "what's the matter kiddo"?, Hank said, "we saw somebody, a woman walking into our beach house". The men got up and walked toward the house and Hank said, "but they're not there now, we checked", Derek stopped and dropped to his knees in front of his son.
Hank, Jack and Henry listened as Derek said, "you three never should have gone into that house without telling us first, that was dangerous, you could have been hurt". Hank said, "but dad", Derek said, "buddy you're only 8 years old and Jack, you and Henry aren't much older, you could have been hurt".
Jack said, "we're sorry uncle Derek, it won't happen again", Derek said, "I'm not quarreling at you three it's just that was a big gamble to tak alone", the three boys nodded their heads yes in agreement as they followed their fathers and Dave into the house.
