Wanting-Ch 42

Derek stood there holding his daughter in his arms for a few minutes before the doctor said, "we need to take her and clean her up but we will bring her back as soon as we can". Derek kissed the baby on the top of the head and smiled as he handed her over, he then took Penelopes hand in his and said, "you scared me sweetness, I was afraid that I had lost you, that I had lost you both".

She looked deeply into his eyes and said, "we're both fine handsome and we are safe right here with you", he brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed her palm and said, "you are the other piece of my heart and I would be lost without you". She smiled at him and said, "there is something that we need to do handsome".

He sat intertwined their fingers and said, "and what would that be"?, she said, "we need to decide on a name for our beautiful daughter", he grinned and nodded his head and said, "that we do sweetness, that we do". She sighed and said, "do you have any ideas"?, he grinned and said, "what about the name Melody Grace".

Penelope gently squeezed his hand and said, "ohhhhh I love it", she tried to raise up in the bed and winced in pain and Derek said, "are you alright baby girl"?, she laughed and said, "fine handsome, just a little sore from the staples that's all". The doctor walked back over and said, "Mrs. Morgan we are getting ready to move you to your room".

Derek said, "what will her room number be doctor"?, the doctor looked down at Penelopes chart and said, "room 300", she said, "baby girl Morgan weighed in at 5 lbs 4 oz and was 18 inches long". Penelope siad, "her name is Melody Grace Morgan". The doctor smiled as she wrote the name down on the babies chart.

The nureses walked over and said, "are you ready to head up Mrs. Morgan"?, she nodded her head and said, "I'm more than ready", Derek leaned down and pressed his lips against hers and when they pulled apart he said, "I go and let everybody know that the baby is here and that both of you are alright and we will be in your room in a few minutes".

Penelope smiled and said, "alright my love", he turned and headed out into the hall, he couldn't stop smiling, he was a daddy, him Derek Michael Morgan was a daddy and he couldn't be happier about it. He walked out into the waiting room and was instantly met by everybody, he gave them his famous Derek Morgan smile and said, "it's a girl and both momma and daughter are doing great".

Fran hugged Derek and said, "ohhhhh congratulations baby boy", he smiled and said, "they are moving Penelope to her room and then we can go up and you can all meet the newest edition to our clan". Reid smiled and said, "so how does it feel to be a daddy"?, Derek said, "ahhhh man the second they put that little dark skinned angel into my arms my heart melted".

JJ hugged him and said, "so that means", Derek nodded his head and said, "there is no doubt that she is mine, no doubt what so ever", Hotch put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "but it wouldn't have mattered to you if the baby was Sams either because you love that little angel". He nodded his head and said, "you're right man, it wouldn't have mattered not in the slightest but at least now Sam has no claim on her, no claim at all".

Everybody was laughing and talking when the nurse walked over a few minutes later and said,"Mr. Morgan your wife and daughter are in the room and ready if you want to go see them". Derek grinned and said, "thank you", he then looked at everybody and said, "are you two ready to go and see my two baby girls"?, they nodded their heads in agreement as they stepped onto the elevator.

When they stepped into Penelopes room she was holding the baby in her arms and smiling down, Derek walked over and kissed the baby on the top of her little head and then kissed Penelope on the lips. Penelope smiled and said, "come in guys, come in and meet our little angel". Everybody gathered around the bed and the room was filled with "AWWWWWWWW SHE'S BEAUTIFUL".

Fran gently ran her finger down the babys cheek and said, "have you decided on a name for her yet"?, Penelope and Derek looked at each other and then at their family and Penelope said, "we sure have". She smiled at everybody and said, "everybody we would like for you to meet our newest member Melody Grace Morgan".

Fran said, "ohhhh a beautiful name for a beautiful baby", Penelope grinned and said, "would you like to hold your grandaughter"?, Fran said, "I would love to". Penelope gently handed Melody to Fran and Fran said, "hello princess I'm your grandma and I love you", Derek pulled out his cell and snapped a picture of his mom and his daughter.

Derek sat down on the side of the bed and wrapped his arm around Penelope and kissed the top of her head as they watched as one by one the entire family got to hold the newest edition.
