Wanting-Ch 44

The next morning came and when Penelope opened her eyes she smiled as she watched her husband feeding their daughter her bottle, she just laid there watching the beautiful sight. She sighed happily knowing that Derek was without a doubt Melodys daddy, Derek glanced up and said, "morning beautiful,
how are you feeling"?, she smiled and said, "sore but good handsome".

She said, "how is our beautiful angel"?, he grinned and said, "amazingly well, she's already been changed and I just started feeding her bottle to her a few minutes ago and let me tell you she has taken her daddys appetite that's for sure". Penelope laughed said, "I love you handsome", he winked at her and said, "I love you to baby girl".

They looked up when they heard a knock on the door, Derek smiled when the doctor said, "how are you feeling today Penelope"?, she smiled and said, "other than being sore I'm good". She nodded her head and said, "that's great and how did Melody do lastnight"?, Derek said, "she did great, she was up 2 or 3 times but after a diaper change and bottle she went right back out".

Penelope said, "any idea when we will get to go home"?, she said, "I want to keep the baby another 24 hours just to observe her", Penelope said, "is anything wrong"?, the doctor shook her head and said, "oh no nothings wrong it's just precautionary where she was early". Penelope gave a sigh of relief and the doctor said, "if she's still improving tomorrow you can go home in the morning, is that fair"?, Derek nodded his head and said, "very fair".

The doctor said, "the past 24 hours have been hard on you and you really need to take today to rest and relax", she nodded her head and said, "that sounds good doctor, very good". Derek said, "is it alright if we bring food Penelope food from outside the hospital"?, the doctor nodded her head and said, "sure, sure it's fine because right now she needs to eat, drink and rest to regain her strength back".

Derek smiled and said, "I think I will go to the diner across the street and grab us some breakfast sweetness", she nodded her head and said, "alright my love". He stood up and handed Melody to her and kissed her gently on the lips and said, "I'll be back in a few minutes goddess", she winked at him and said, "alright my love".

Sam was escorted into the court and over to his seat, Anna said, "your case will be turned over to the jury in a few minutes and then your future is in their hands". He took a deep breath and said, "what do you think my chances are"?, she said, "after the outburst from yesterday not very favorable at all".

He sat back against against his seat and said, "how long do you think it will take for the jury to come back with a verdict"?, she said, "it's hard to tell but the longer it takes the better". He looked around the room and noticed that Logan wasn't there, he took a deep breath and looked up to see Logan walking into the courtroom.

Logan looked at him and shook his head no letting sam know that the baby wasn't his, Sam closed his eyes and turned around and buried his head in his hands. Anna said, "are you alright"?, Sam said, "I didn't know you cared"?, she said, "I don't, he laughed and said, "I love your honesty", she smiled and said, "thank you".

The baitliff stepped forward and said, "all rise", everybody stood up as the judge walked into the room and took the stand, she said, "you may be seated". She then looked at the prosecution and said, "do you have anymore witnesses"?, the prosecutor said, "no your honor the prosecution rests",
she then looked at Anna and said, "what about the defense"?, she said, "we have one more witness your honor".

The judge said, "go ahead and call your witness", she smiled and said, "we call the defendant to the stand", he looked at her and said, "I hope that you know what you're doing". Anna smiled and said, "don't worry I do", he stood up and headed across to take the stand, he stepped into the box and watched as the baitliff walked and swore him in and told him to be seated".

Anna walked over and said, "alright Sam I need you to tell me in your own words everything that has happened in your relationship with Ms. Garcia ohhh I'm sorry I mean Mrs. Morgan". He took a deep breath and sat back in his seat as he opened his mouth and started telling Anna and everybody else in the room about his relationship with Penelope.
