I know that on the show Mudgy is a boy, but that wouldn't have worked for my last chapter. I find Mpreg just weird. lol
Oh yeah I still own nothing Criminal Minds related.
Penelope looked around the waiting room at the varied stages of pregnancy surrounding her.
Penelope saw one diminutive woman trying desperately to gain control of her toddler twin daughters, and rubbing her extended belly. Then Penelope saw a young woman who looked nervous. She didn't look any older than 17 and a boy about the same age. Penelope could see the worry etched on their young faces.
Penelope had to fight the urge to hug the two kids. Penelope could tell they were trying to figure out what to do about money and jobs.
Penelope frowned in concern. Derek looked up from his Popular Mechanics™ magazine to follow Penelope's line of vision.
Derek chuckled inwardly to himself knowing what his baby girl was thinking. Derek always thought she was wrong when Penelope would call him her glistening hero of life, when in fact Penelope was his.
Penelope shook her head out of her thoughts and looked around the room again. She caught a woman lustfully eyeing Derek and casting a dismissive and judgemental look at Penelope.
Penelope felt like standing up and asking the woman what her problem was, but instead she leaned against Derek, and he in turn gave a sweet kiss on the lips and rubbed her back while he finished reading the article titled "10 Things to Know About Performance Tires"
A medical assistant in Mickey Mouse scrubs and a bright smiled said, "Ms. Garcia."
Derek and Penelope stood up and followed the medical assistant behind the standard wooden door.
Once they were seating in the examination room Penelope felt nervous. Penelope was wringing her hands together so much her rings started to clank together.
Derek clasped one of her hands in his and said, "Baby everything will be fine."
Penelope took comfort from Derek's hand and said, "I know, I know. It's just that I never thought I would have kids, and I never thought they would be with you."
Derek softly said, "Baby c'mere." Derek wrapped his arms around Penelope and said, "Sweetheart I never thought about kids with anyone else but you."
Penelope looked up at Derek with tears in her eyes and asked, "Hot stuff you really mean it?"
Derek smiled and said, "I don't care who hears it, it's always been you."
Before Penelope could cry any harder a woman with striking features and brunette hair smiled at the hugging pair and said, "Hi my name is doctor Gimble."
Derek stuck out his hand as did Doctor Gimble and introduced himself and Penelope.
Doctor Gimble sat on a rolling chair and said, "Alright Penelope I have a few questions to ask."
Penelope smiled at the doctor and said, "Sure."
Doctor Gimble, "Firstly I just want to go over your medical chart. I see here you were in Chicago when you found out you were pregnant, correct."
Penelope said, "Yes."
Doctor Gimble then said, "I see here you also had a nose bleed and you fainted."
Penelope sighed and said, "Yes. I was light head, and this oaf next to me was arguing with a fellow agent."
Derek put his hands up in mock surrender and said, "I had good intentions."
Penelope patted Derek's thigh and said, "Sure you did love bug. Anywhoo, I haven't felt dizzy nearly enough to pass out, and I haven't had a nose bleed since then."
Doctor Gimble smiled and said, "Good. I also see where you were taken hostage for a few hours, but you were released with only a few minor cuts and bruises."
Penelope said, "That's right. Such is the life of an F.B.I agent."
Doctor Gimble laughed and her shoulder length brunette hair flowed with her shoulder movements.
Then seriously the doctor said, "Penelope I want you to take care of yourself. Even thought you aren't prone to nose bleeds, I want you to keep your blood pressure regulated."
Derek said, "I will watch her like a hawk."
Penelope rolled her eyes and the doctor took in the alpha make form of Derek Morgan and had no doubt that poor Penelope would be watched day and night.
Doctor Gimble cleared her throat and said, "Agent Morgan I have no doubt that you will protect her, but within reason.
Penelope's laughter twinkled in the examination room, and Derek's voice grumbled.
Penelope said, "Honey you can still protect me, but you can't smother me."
Derek sighed and said, "Fine."
Doctor Gimble said, " I wish more father's were like you."
That got Derek to stop his pouting.
"Okay, Penelope I just have a few more questions."
Penelope warming up to the friendly doctor said, "Sure."
"Have you been feeling ill, nauseous?"
Penelope shook her head no. Then explained for a while she couldn't stand the smell of coffee or furniture polish.
The doctor smiled and asked, "Last question, have noticed any discomfort during sex?"
Penelope cheek's colored a little but shook her head no.
Doctor Gimble said, "Don't be embarrassed. If anything pregnant women says it feels better."
Derek looked at Penelope and grinned.
Penelope looked at Derek and said, "Not now Morgan."
"Okay Penelope well I checked your lab results from your appointment in Chicago. Everything looks fine there. Now I want you to go to the bathroom, empty your bladder and we can measure your baby. "
Derek helped Penelope off of the table and waited for her to come out of the restroom.
They made their way back into the office.
Doctor Gimble instructed, "Now I want you to lay back and lift your shirt up for me just above the top of your stomach."
Penelope for the first time really noticed her baby bump. Derek couldn't help but lean down and kiss her tummy.
Doctor Gimble prodded Penelope's lower abdomen until she felt what she was searching for.
The doctor measured her stomach, took some notes, and said, "Everything seems to be fine. I want to schedule an appointment for you in the next three weeks."
Penelope smiled and said, "We'll be there."
Derek said, "Come on baby girl let's go. We have to see a man about some puppies."
Derek pulled up Rossi's long driveway. He stepped out of the large SUV, then helped Penelope out and shut the vehicle's door for her.
Derek rang the doorbell twice and was greeted by his mother.
Fran smiled and hugged both Derek and Penelope, and then ushered them into the house.
Penelope smiled as the smell of homemade cinnamon rolls filled her nostrils.
Fran hooked arms with Penelope and said, "Come on, I'll fix you something to eat."
Derek waited with his fiancé and mother, for a meeting with what he deemed an unreasonable David Rossi.
Rossi came downstairs and into the kitchen, he gave Fran a quick kiss, and Penelope a kiss on the cheek.
David's eyes narrowed at Derek as he said, "We can talk outside."
Derek sighed and thought, "What is the big damn deal?"
David and Derek sat around an outdoor dining set.
David started by saying, "First of all I am sorry I called you so early."
Derek said, "I get it Rossi, but they are just dogs."
Rossi chuckled and said, "I know they are dogs, but Mudgy has lasted through several breakups and a failed marriage."
Derek said, "I get it. Before P and I got together Clooney was the only constant in my life."
David smiled and said, "So you do get it. Now about these puppies…."
Derek said, "I think I have a solution. I can take one, and the rest can be trained for service dogs. A buddy of mine in Annandale trains police dogs, bomb sniffing dogs, and seeing eye dogs."
David said, "That sounds like a plan. Whatever vet bills they obtain I can cover. I am just scared Fran is going to want to keep them all."
Derek laughed and said, "Yeah that is why I figured you freaked out. You can't tell my mom no any better than I call tell P."
David returned the laugh and said, "I don't even bother arguing with Fran. What she wants is what she gets."
Both men shared a mutual laugh as they stood up and headed in the house.
Penelope and Fran were gushing over wedding details, that Penelope was showing Fran on Rossi's tablet.
Penelope said, "I refuse to torture my Emily the Strange or my Jay Bird, not to mention Des or Sara with hideous gowns. I was thinking black or red cocktail dresses or a combination of both.
Fran smiled and said, "That sounds lovely."
Penelope smiled and said, "I expect to see you in something a little caliente as well."
Fran chuckled and said, "I don't know about all of that. I was thinking a long dress and jacket combination."
Penelope shook her head and said, "No way. I know there is a one shoulder satin gown with your name on it."
Penelope pulled up a picture of what she had described to Fran.
Fran let out a shaky breath and said, "Penelope I don't know if I can pull that off."
Penelope looked sincerely at Fran and said, "Of course you can. Woman you have got to give yourself some credit. I mean not just anyone can tame a wild Italian Stallion."
Fran blushed at the compliment. Fran said, "I'll try it on, but if I don't feel right, I am not wearing it."
Penelope nodded her agreement and said, "That is all I am asking for. I called Sara and she will be here at the end of the week. Fingers cross we get no cases, I would like to get our dresses then."
Fran said, "Will I get to see your dress."
Penelope said, "Of course. Just don't be upset that it isn't completely white."
Fran said, "As long as my son's ass is getting married you can wear any color you want."
Derek wrapped his arms around Penelope and asked, "What is this I hear about you not wearing white?"
Penelope looked into Derek's eyes and asked, "Honey are you really surprised."
Derek chuckled and said, "Not at all. Whatever you wear will be perfect."
Derek, Penelope, and Rossi's phones rang all at once.
Penelope pinched her thumb and index finger to the bridge of her nose and said, "Not now."
Rossi wiggled his iphone in the air and said, "We got a case."
Fran pouted and asked, "Another one?"
Derek sighed and said, "Yes mama."
Penelope quickly scanned the email JJ sent her and shrugged and said, "At least it's local."
Fran asked hopefully, "So you guys will be able to come at night?"
Rossi kissed Fran and said, "As long as no new bodies pop up in the middle of the night, then yes."
David kissed Fran again, and Derek said. "Baby girl, we need to get out of here and pack our go bags."
Penelope chuckled and said, "Oh angel fish they are just adorable."
Derek grunted and said, "No it ain't lets go."
David said, "Morgan can I ride in with you? No point in taking two cars, because we all know that my beautiful worry wart of there is going to be cooking up a storm."
Fran laughed and said, "I already have dishes planned out in my mind."
Penelope asked, "And who would be stupid enough to turn down a Fran Morgan meal?"
Both Derek and David said, "Not me."
Fran leaned against the bedroom door frame as she watched Rossi quickly pack his go bag, if they had to pull an all nighter.
Rossi snatched up in go bag, hugged and kissed Fran, and made his way out of the house.
Fran waved from the large oak front door at her little family leaving her again.
Fran smiled knowing that in a few months she would have a grand baby, and puppies to keep her busy while her little family, and extended family went off to fight crime.
