Wanting-Ch 26

The rest of the party went great as everybody worked hard to get their minds off of their problems for the night and after everybody had gone and the mess was cleaned up Derek and Penelope headed upstairs. Penelope was exhausted, everything she had been through over the past few months especially the last few days had finally taken it's toll on her.

As Derek wrapped his arms around her she sighed happily and said, "happy birthday handsome", he kissed the top of her head and said, "it is a happy one as long as I'm with you". She laid her head back down and a few minutes later Derek couldn't help but smile when he heard a light snoring coming from her.

The next 36 hours flew by and now it was time for everybody to head back to Virginia, Derek kissed his mom on the cheek and said, "thanks for everything momma". She hugged her son and said, "you're welcome baby boy", she looked over Dereks shoulder and said, "take care of my future daughter in law and momma of my grandbabies".

Derek laughed and said, "that's the plan momma, that's the plan", he hugged his sisters and said, "we'll be back soon, we will have to testify in the trial". Fran said, "have you got the chance to find out if the prosecution has got a copy of the videos yet"?, he shook his head and said, "they still haven't turned over all the evidence yet but they are suppose to do it before Wednesday".

Fran said, "Wednesday why are they allowed to wait that long"?, he shrugged his shoulders and said, "it's just anything to make us suffer I guess",
he then watched as Penelope hugged his mom and sisters. Fran wiped away the tears from Penelopes eyes and said, "everything will be alright honey and if you need to talk, you can call me anytime day or night".

Sarah smiled and said, "don't forget that you have 2 more sisters now", she smiled and said, "I don't know what I did to deserve such great people",
Desiree smiled and said, "you're just you Penelope and that's enough for us". Derek wrapped his arm around Penelope and said, "momma when we find out for sure what's going on and when we will be coming back I'll let you know", she nodded her head and said, "have a safe trip and I love you, I love you both"

Penelope waved one final time and Derek said, "we love you guys to momma", before they got into the car, Fran hugged her daughters and said, "my heart really goes out to Penelope". Sarah sighed and said, "mine to momma", Desiree looked at her mom and said, "what do you think is gonna happen now"?,
Fran said, "I think that Derek and the team are going to work hard to prove that Sam and Logan are lying and when they prove it Derek is gonna kick Sams ass", the girls laughed as they all headed back inside the house.

It didn't take long and soon they were joining the rest of the team on the jet, JJ walked over and hugged Penelope and said, "how are you doing"?,
she sat down and said, "doing ok I guess, I'm just worried about these video tapes they have". Reid smiled at her and said, "don't worry Garcia we will stop at nothing to make sure that Sam, Logan and Savannah pay for what they did to you".

Derek walked over and joined Penelope on the couch and kissed the top of her head and said, "are you ready to head home sweetness"?, she said, "yeah I need to get my stuff packed up so that we can move it over to your place". He kissed her lips gently and said, "it's already been taken care of my beautiful wife to be".

She grinned and said, "but how did you get it done so fast"?, he laughed and said, "I have my ways", she playfully slapped his shoulder and he said, "I had a few of my friends move your things, I hope that was alright"?, she kissed his lips and said, "of course it's alright, thank you so much for everything you've done for me".

She then looked around the jet and said, "I want to thank you all for everything you've done and will do for me", JJ grinned and said, "that's what famalies are for Garcie". JJ put her hand on Penelopes stomach and said, "and this is my little neice or nephew in here and we are going to do whatever it takes to keep you both safe and happy".

Henry and Jack were exhausted and were now both peacefully sleeping, Derek smiled and said, "just thank sweetness, soon we will have our own little one running around". She sighed and said, "I know and I can hardly wait", he kissed the top of her head and said, "neither can I baby girl, neither can I" and as she laid her head down on his chest Derek looked out the window as the jet lifted off the runway.
