Bare Fisted-Ch 12
Derek smiled up at his beautiful girlfriend and his mom as he hoarsely said, "where's Hank"?, the doctor said, "Derek I'm going to advise you not to talk just yet, you need to give your throat time to rest". Fran laughed and said, "good luck there doctor", Derek said, "heyyyyyy", Penelope kissed his lips gently and said, "don't worry I'll call Sarah and Desi and see if they can bring him down to see you".
He intertwined fingers with her and said, "I love you", she said, "and I love you, now be a good boy and rest that voice", he winked at her and nodded his head yes as he laid his head back against the pillow. The doctor said, "how about we get you something cold for that throat, how about some ice cream"?, he nodded his head and said, "strawberry please".
The doctor said, "I'll let the nurses know", the trio smiled as the doctor then walked out off it hadn't been the room, Penelope said, "I was so afraid that I'd lost you, when you jumped in front of us, ohhhhh hotstuff". He squeezed her hand and said, "I couldn't let her hurt you", Fran walked across the room and pulled out her cell and called the girls and then Dave to let him know that Derek was awake.
When she walked back over to join Derek and Penelope she said, "the girls are going to bring Hank over and I called to let Dave know that you were awake". Penelope said, "are they on their way back home"?, she said, "they are, Dave said that if it hadn't been for you finding that clue about the taxi driver that they never would have found the last girl that was taken".
Penelope smiled and said, "I'm just glad that I could help", their attention then went to the door as the nurse came in carrying several cups of strawberry ice cream and a spoon. She said, "here you go Derek, this should help with the soreness in your throat", he smiled and said, "thank you", she grinned and said, "if you guys need anything just let us know", Penelope said, "thanks Shonda, we will", she then turned around and walked out of the room leaving Derek, Penelope and Fran alone.
Derek swallowed a few bites of ice cream and said, "Cassie"?, Penelope said, "dead", Derek smiled and said, "I hate to say this but I'm glad, is that wrong of me"?, Fran said, "absolutely not baby boy". Penelope kissed the top of Dereks head and said, "I agree with Fran it's not wrong at all, after everything you've been through I'm glad she's dead to".
Fran said, "I guess Penelope told you about the plan"?, said, "a little of it", Penelope said, "well after you were taken and I got that call from Cassie we knew that she'd come after me sooner or later so bossman put a plan in place". Derek listened as Penelope said, "he put 3 GPS trackers on me, 2 in my jewelry and one in my shoe so that they would be able to track me".
Derek said, "and then when her men grabbed you"?, Penelope said, "I activated the GPS by kicking my shoe on the ground, they thought I was fighting them but I was really activating the GPS". Derek smiled and said, "I've got a smart girlfriend", Penelope laughed and said, "I'm just glad that everything worked out the way it did".
Penelope said, "but the one thing we didn't count on was them taking Hank", Fran said, "the important thing is that Hanks safe and so are you and Derek". Derek said, "true dat momma, true dat", Penelope laughed and said, "be a good boy and finish that ice cream", he winked at her and said, "anything for you goddess" as he took another bite of his ice cream.
A few minutes later Penelope excused herself to go to the bathroom and Derek said, "momma I need for you to do me a favor", she said, "sure honey, anything". Derek smiled and said ,"I have a ring for baby girl and I", Fran said, "don't worry I figured now that you were awake that you'd propose so the girls are bringing it with them".
Penelope walked into the room and said, "what did I miss"?, Derek smiled lovingly at her and said, "nothing baby girl", she said, "uh huh", she looked at Fran who only smiled. Derek looked at the door when he heard Desi say, "there's my big brother" as she ran over and hugged him tight, he wrapped his arms around her and said, "I missed you Desi".
Sarah said, "here you go buddy" as she put Hank on the bed, he looked at Derek and Penelope said, "it's okay buddy, daddy's going to be okay", Hanks bottom lip started quivering and Derek said, "it's okay buddy, come up here to daddy". Hank slowly made his way to Derek and then Derek said, "daddy loves you sooooo much".
Hank smiled and then gently laid his head down on Dereks shoulder and said, "I lub you daddy", Penelope pulled out her cell and snapped a few pictures as the father and son finally got to start bonding. Penelope sighed happily as she watched her hotstuff and their son, for the longest time she was afraid that this time would never come.
She was all smiles as she watched Hank gently touch Dereks bandages and look him up in the face and say, "big boo boo", Derek said, "true but in no time daddy will be back to normal and then you and daddy can play". Hank clapped his hands and said, "yayyyyyyy me gets to pway wif daddyyyyyyyy" causing everybody to smile as they watched the happy child pat his daddys arm.
