Bare Fisted-Ch 13
The next few days flew by as Derek continued recovering with his baby girl and son by his side, having his family close seemed to help him recover faster. Hank took right up with Derek and was rarely out of his sight, he loved his daddy and loved talking to him and listening to him tell stories.
Penelope stood there listening as Derek told him how he met Penelope, Hank laughed when Derek said, "and it's all because I called your momma by the wrong name". Hank said, "weally"?, Derek tapped the end of his nose and said, "yep, I called her Gomez", Hank frowned and said, "Domez, who dat daddy"?, Derek said, "that's what I thought your mommys last name was but that's all on your uncle Reid" causing Hank and Derek both to laugh.
Derek saw Penelope go into the bathroom and he said, "Hank wanna do daddy a favor"?, the little boy eagerly nodded his head yes and Derek reached over into the drawer and got a small black box. He opened the box and said, "see this, this ring is for mommy", Hank smiled and said, "ohhhhhhhh", Derek said, "I'm gonna ask mommy to marry me, are you okay with that"?, Hank instantly said, "YEAHHHH".
From the bathroom Penelope said, "is everything alright in there"?, Derek said, "yeah baby, everythings fine", he then said, "shew that was close buddy", Hank said, "sowwy daddy". Derek rubbed the top of the little boys head and said, "it's okay buddy, you didn't do anything wrong", he then leaned in and said, "now this is what daddy wants you to do" as he explained his plan to the eager little boy.
A few minutes later the team and his sisters started arriving, Penelope was all smiles as they talked about plans for Thanksgiving and Christmas, the family had missed 4 of each with Derek so this year every holiday was going to be special to make up for lost time. Reid said, "we could do Thanksgiving like we use to do, have everybody all together".
Fran said, "I love that idea Spencer, we can have the holidays at our place, we have more room", Derek said, "I don't want you guys to go to any trouble because of me". Penelope kissed his lips and said, "listen to me mister, we've missed 4 Thanksgivings and 4 Christmas's with you so this year expect both holidays to be off the charts amazing".
Derek winked at her and said, "alright sweetness, alright" as he held his hands up in surrender, Penelope said, "the holidays were so different without you and now that we have you back we want to go back to our perfect holidays". Derek sighed happily and said, "I missed you all so much everyday but holidays were extremely bad".
Dave said, "what did you do for the holidays"?, Derek said, "the same we did all the other days, we'd fight, the fights seemed to get more people watching during the holidays which made Cassie happy, especially when she won". Emily said, "well you don't have to worry about her any more, she can't hurt you or cause you anymore trouble" causing Derek to smile happily and nod his head yes in agreement.
Derek looked at Hank and nodded his head and the little boy walked over in front of Penelope and said, "momma", Penelope looked down at her son and said, "yes baby", the little boy held out his hand and in his hand was a black box. Penelope said, "w w what is that"?, Hank smiled and said ,"momma will you mawwy daddy"?, Penelope looked at Derek and said, "really"?, Derek said, "yes really".
Penelope kissed her son on the top of the head and said, "yes baby, yes I'll marry daddy", Hank helped her put the ring on her finger and then he started jumping up and down and clapping his hands causing everybody to laugh and start hugging the newly engaged couple.
