"Savanah." Derek yelled slamming the door. "Savanah."
He saw her coming down the stairs wearing a see-through nightie he used to like.
"You went to the hospital."
"I see the bitch already ran crying to you about it."
"Watch it." he said through gritted teeth. "She didn't tell me. Reid did."
"I went to see the baby my husband had with another woman." She said. "He looks nothing like her."
"He has her eyes." He said. "Did you tell her she never should have had him?"
"Yes I did. He should be my baby, our son."
"How could you say that?" he asked. "He's my son."
"He's not mine."
"What happened between Pen and me happened before I asked you to marry me. It was as much my fault as it was hers."
"I don't want to hear about that night." She yelled. "I think you need to get a lawyer and get full custody of him."
"No." he yelled. "Not going to happen. I will never take him from Penelope."
"Why not? That is your son."
"That I have with her. Do you know what you did by telling her whatever you told her? She doesn't want you anywhere near him. If I want to see him I have to do it there. I can't even have my son stay the night with me because of you."
"That is ridiculous. I am his stepmother. In time he will call me mommy."
"He will never call you mommy. She won't allow it and I won't either. She won't even talk to me."
"We'll just get a lawyer."
"We won't get anything. I will get a lawyer. You screwed up and now I'm going to pay for it. Stay away from her and the baby. She's scared for his safety."
He walked up the stairs leaving her standing in the living room.
"Oh by the way, I'm sleeping in the guest room."
"Derek." she yelled. "Derek."
He just ignored her and went to get clothes. He got in the guest room and locked it.
Baby D was three weeks old now and everyday he looked more like Derek. Sometimes Pen would just stare at him and start crying. She still hadn't spoken to Derek. He came every day when he wasn't on a case and would spend time with his son, Pen made sure he never saw her, only when needed. She had milked pumped for him to feed his son. She just couldn't talk to him yet. Spencer talked to him but most of the time they left him alone with his son. He fed him, changed him, and even started giving him his bath at night. Sometimes when D would cry and nothing worked, Pen would go out and get her son. Once he was in her arms, he would stop crying and go to sleep.
Now she was getting D ready to meet his grandma and aunts for the first time. Derek had finally told Fran about D and as soon as she could take time off from work. That time is now, she was coming for a visit. She got the time and she was on the way with Derek. She didn't know how much Derek told her so she didn't know what to expect. Pen always loved Derek's family and over the years they grew close. Even when Derek pushed her away she still talked to Fran. Pen knew Fran had hoped that her and Derek would get together but that never happened. They got together but not in the way either of them wanted. Pen couldn't regret that night, it gave her a son.
D was dressed in a sleeper with bears on it and he was wide awake looking at her as she talked to him.
"You look so handsome my love. You ready to meet grandma. She is excited to see you. Your aunties are coming too. They are going to love you so much than but not as much as I do."
D kicked his feet and moved his arms the more she talked to him. He was used to her voice. She would talk to him when she pregnant and now that he was here. She sang him to sleep and hummed when she would fed him. She didn't hear the door bell and when Reid came in and said they were there she looked shocked. She wrapped D in a dark blue blanket that had his name embroidered on it and went out after Reid. She could hear their voices.
"Hello everyone." The Morgan family turned around to face her. "I think you all came by to meet this little guy."
D chose that moment to stretch and move his head. Pen looked at Derek and then at Fran.
"Oh my." She walked to Pen. "Oh my. He looks like Derek."
That always brought a sad smile to her face. "He does."
"Can I hold him?"
"Of course you are his grandma."
She handed the baby to Fran and watched her hold her grandson for the first time. It brought tears to her eyes when she saw Fran was crying.
"Congrats Pen. He's gorgeous." Sarah said hugging her.
"Thank you."
"He's one lucky baby to have you as his mother." Des said hugging her also.
"What's his name?" Fran asked.
"Derek didn't tell you."
"No."
"Oh. I named him Derek Anthony Morgan. We just call him Baby D or just D."
"He eats and sleeps well?"
"He weighed eight pounds two ounces when he was born and was twenty and half inches long. He now eats four ounces every three hours and wakes up three times at night."
"Derek was a big eater too." Fran said. "Are you getting enough sleep?"
"Yes. Spence gets up with him at night so I can sleep but sometimes he just wants me."
"Spoiling him already." Sarah laughed.
"How could I not, he's too adorable to resist."
Sarah took the baby from Fran and cooed over the baby. Pen avoided looking at Derek and she could feel his eyes on her. Des had her turn before Derek finally took him from her. Fran watched her son with his son.
"Hey baby boy, daddy is back." Derek softly said.
D just closed his eyes and fell asleep in his father's arms. She left the room when Des and Sarah started taking pictures. She went to the kitchen and took a bottle out of the freezer. She knew D and he would be fussing for a bottle soon. She didn't hear Fran come into the kitchen.
"Oh I didn't hear you come in. Do you want anything to drink?"
"No thanks. Dr. Reid offered but we declined." Fran said. "Penelope, I don't know what happened between you and Derek and it isn't my business. I just want you to know that I love you and you will always be a daughter to me. It was that way before the baby and that's the way it is now. You come to me anytime you need me. I know how much you love my son. But I have just one question. Why didn't you come to me when you found you were pregnant?"
"I wanted too, badly. God how I wanted to." She started crying. "I was afraid you were going to hate me. I never wanted this to happen but I don't regret anything. I can't. It gave me my son but I needed you so much."
"Oh Pen."
She held Penelope as she cried. Everyone came from the living room when they heard Pen cry. When they saw Fran holding a sobbing Penelope, Reid handed the baby back took Sarah and gave Derek a glare. Sarah and Des looked at Derek. Reid slowly walked to Pen and drew her from Fran's arms. She didn't resist when he put her arms around her. She just clung to him and cried.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
"It's ok Pen." Reid said. "It's ok."
She clung to Reid tighter and Derek didn't know what to do. He had never seen Penelope Garcia like this and it made his heart hurt that he was the reason for those tears. He didn't really believe the things that Reid had told him but looking at her now, how could he not. He didn't realize that he was also crying. He messed up so bad and he didn't know if he was ever going to be able to fix it. He knew they were going to have to talk and wasn't looking forward to that conversation. As if sensing his mother anguish, D started crying and no one could calm him down, not even the bottle. He cries got louder and Sarah brought him to Pen who was still leaning against Reid. She took D from her.
"It's ok my love, mommy has you."
As soon as she put him to her chest, D quieted down and started rooting. She picked the bottle up and sat in the chair and started feeding him. Reid brought her a burp cloth and placed it over her shoulder. She looked up at everyone, sniffling.
"Do you want stay for dinner? We can get take out or something."
"We don't want to intrude." Fran said.
"You're not intruding. You need to bond with your grandson and I would like it if you stayed."
"Then we'll stay."
Derek and Reid went to get Chinese food while the women stayed with Pen.
"Penelope still loves you Derek. You would have to be stupid not to notice. She loves you more now because of the baby. She finally got what she's always wanted: to be a mother of your baby."
"Reid …"
"Just listen. You love her too. I don't know if you don't want to acknowledge it or what. I fell in love with her and I know she will never love me the way she does you and I can live with that. She loves me in another capacity. She will never trust you with her heart again. You lost the chance to ever win her heart that morning."
"Reid, she will always be my baby girl and I'm sorry for the way I hurt her. I never meant too. Maybe I am scared of the feelings I had for her. I don't know. I thought I could be happy with Savanah and finally settle down. Since I found out I was going to be a dad, I haven't been happy. But that is my doing. I just hope one day Pen will forgive and we can be friends. She is the mother of my son. I don't want her to hate me."
"No matter what you do, she will never hate you."
After dinner, Derek gave D a bath with the help of Fran and rocked him to sleep. They made plans to meet up the next day. Fran wanted to go shopping for her grandson. They were only in town until Sunday. They said goodbyes and Derek drove them to a hotel. Fran was silent just listening to the girls talk about the baby. Derek walked them to their rooms. He checked the room out and then was about to leave when Fran stopped him.
"Sit down." Fran said. "I want to know what the hell you did to Penelope that hurt her so much."
He knew this was coming especially since Pen broke down in front of his mother. He knew how his mom felt about Pen. That was one of the reasons why Savanah and his mother didn't get along.
"We slept together one night and the next morning she woke up all excited making plans for us to do things. She wouldn't let me talk. I had to raise my voice to get her attention. Then I told her that it was a mistake what we did and that I was going to ask Savanah to marry me."
"Oh Derek, how could you."
"The day I announced my engagement to the team was the day that Pen found out she was pregnant. By the end of the week, she was gone."
"How did you know she was pregnant?"
"She wrote me a letter and told me. She also included an ultrasound picture. I didn't hear from her again until she found out what she was having. I received another letter with a disc. It was a copy of her ultrasound and it showed that we were having a son. In the first letter she told me that she would back by her due date and she would call me when she was in labor. That's exactly what she did. She called me on February thirteenth before eleven and he wasn't born until five fifty-nine Valentine's morning."
"And how is Savanah handling all this."
"She's not."
"Are you happy Derek?"
