Armed And Dangerous-Ch 5
About an hour later Fran walked into the room carrying a surprise for the happy couple, she put the bag in front of them and said, "here is some of my famous chicken noodle soup". Penelope smiled and then Fran leaned in and said, "and I fixed some chocolate brownies for you Penelope", she hoarsely said, "thank you Fran", Derek said, "hey hard head, no talking, remember"?, she nodded her head yes as she took a bite of her soup.
Fran sat and watched as her son and his baby girl ate everything she had brought them, she started clearing the mess and said, "see, that was better than this old hospital food wasn't it"?, she nodded her head yes as she swallowed the last bite of her brownie. Fran said, "so when can she go home, do we know yet"?, Derek said,
"maybe later today".
Fran smiled and said, "that's great news", Derek said, "it sure is momma", she looked at Penelope and said, "it will be good to see you at home resting instead of in this hospital bed". Derek said, "when we get her back to my place I'm going" and Penelope got his attention and mouthed, "your place"?, he said, "yes my place, I want my girl with me".
Fran said, "your girl, is there something that you haven't told me"?, Derek intertwined fingers with Penelope and said, "when I walked into her apartment momma and saw here laying on the floor I lost it, I thought please don't die baby girl I need you, I love you and I can't lose you now". Penelope gently squeezed his hand as he said, "I promised myself that when she woke up I would tell her how I felt and I did".
Fran said "well the only thing I can say is it's about time", Penelope smiled and hoarsely said, "you knew"?, she said, "honey my baby boy has been in love with you for years". Penelope looked at Derek and then at Fran as she said, "when he would come home for a visit it was always my baby girl did this or goddess said that and he was always smiling".
Derek said, "I've been in love with Penelope since I called her by the wrong name all those years ago", Penelope sighed as Derek said, "I love Penelope with all my heart and one day soon she's going to make me the happiest man in the world by agreeing to make an honest man of me. Penelope laughed and whispered, "I love you so much Derek Morgan".
He kissed her lips gently and said, "and I love you Penelope Garcia", they pulled apart when they heard the doctor knocking on her door, she walked into the room and said, "something smells delicious in here". Derek said, "my momma made some chicken noodle soup and brownies for us", she said, "and how did Penelope do on eating it'?, Derek lifted the lids open and said, "she ate it all".
The doctor said, "how is your throat feeling, is it as sore as it was yesterday"?, she shook her head and whispered, "no", she said, "you are doing really good today sooooo how would you like to go home"?, she nodded her head yes and said, "yes please". The doctor said, "let me go and get your paperwork completed and then I'll let you go home".
Penelope smiled as she watched the doctor heading toward the door, she stopped and said, "but take it easy and not much talking okay, your throat needs to heal", she nodded her head and mouthed the words, "I promise". Fran grinned and said, "well I'll head out and head to Dereks and get everything ready", Derek kissed his mom on the cheek and said, "thanks momma".
She smiled and said, "you are very welcome honey", she hugged Penelope and said, "I'll see you when you get home", Penelope nodded her head yes and mouthed the words,
"thank you Fran". When Fran turned around to walk to the door Derek said, "ohhh momma make sure everything is okay in our room", she smiled and said, "will do baby boy, will do".
When Fran walked out of the room Penelope said, "our room"?, he sat down on the bed beside her and said, "that's right our room, I want to be able to hold you in my arms anytime I want but if you don't want to I" and Penelope pulled him down into a passionate kiss. When they pulled apart she whispered, "no no it's fine", he winked at her before claiming her lips in another kiss.
