Armed And Dangerous-Ch 24
Penelope woke up the next morning and smiled as she saw her husband laying there looking down at her, he said, "good morning beautiful", she winked and said, "I'll show you a good morning hotstuff". He leaned down and kissed her lips and said, "ohhhhh you already have goddess, you already have", she stretched and said, "I still can't believe that we're married".
She held her hand up looking at her wedding band and said, "we're married and soon we'll be holding our beautiful baby in our arms", he put his hand on her belly and said, "I can hardly wait". She said, "what do you want, do you want a boy or girl"?, he said, "the sex doesn't matter to me, the only thing that does matter is that the baby is happy and healthy".
Penelope raised up and pressed her lips against his and said, "good answer hotstuff", he touched her cheek and said, "I hate to say this but we need to get ready and head to the courthouse". She blew out a breath and said, "we don't have cl" and he said, "the bag is laying on the dresser', she laughed and said, "we have some amazing friends don't we"?, he nodded his head yes in agreement as she threw the cover back and stood up.
Derek said, "looking goodddddddddd baby, looking realllllllll good", she put her hands on her stomach and said, "just wait till I'm as big as a house", he walked over and put his hand on her stomach and said, "you will never look anything but beautiful to me". She kissed his lips and said, "awwwwww thanks hotstuff" he winked at her and said, "now get that sexy body dressed so we can make sure that Kevin pays for what he did".
Derek saluted and said, "yes mam baby girl", she laughed as she headed into the bathroom and closed the door behind her, when she came back out a few minutes later he was fully dressed and looking out the window. She walked over and said, "whatcha looking at"?, he pointed to the kids playing in the park across the street and said, "soon that will be us".
She kissed his shoulder and said, "and I can hardly wait", he kissed her lips and said, "me either", she sighed and said, "we better get to the courthouse", he nodded his head in agreement as they walked toward the door. The ride to the courthouse didn't take long and soon they were pulling up in the parking lot, she smiled at him and said, "it was nice of JJ and Reid to bring us our car wasn't it"?, he said, "it sure was gorgeous".
They walked hand in hand up the stairs and through the doors, Fran looked around and smiled as they made their way toward her, Derek gently squeezed her hand when Kevin was led into the room. He looked at Penelope and said, "how could you, how could you Penelope"?, Derek said, "don't pay him any attention sweetness", she took a deep breath and nodded her head yes as she sat down.
They were only there for a few minutes when the baitliff said, "all rise, Judge Roberta Cheek presiding", everybody stood up while she walked up and sat down in her seat. She said, "be seated", everybody then sat down and the judge opened the file and said "we are here today for the case of the state verses Kevin Lynch is that correct"?, the baitliff said, "yes mam".
She looked down at Kevin and said, "I understand that you don't want a jury of your peers but that you want me to hear your case instead is this correct"?, he stood up and said, "yes your honor". She looked down and said, "according to your file your charges are attempted rape of a federal officer, drugging 2 federal officers and assault of 2 federal officers, how do you plead"?, he said, "not guilty your honor".
The judge looked at the court reporter and said, "make sure to get that on the record", she nodded her head and said, "yes mam", the judge said, "alright Mr. Lynch I want you to tell me your point of view on everything that happened". He swallowed hard as he sat down in his seat and said, "well mam it all happened" and the judge and everybody in the courtroom listened as he started his line of lies.
Around an hour later the judge said, "alright, thank you Mr. Lynch", he then looked down and said, "Mrs. Penelope Garcia"?, she stood up and said, "yes mam", she said,
"would you please come up and sit in the witness box"?, she said, "yes mam". She stepped away from her family and made her way toward the witness stand, the baitlif said, "raise your right hand please".
Penelope raised her right hand and he said, "do you swear that the testimony you are about to give is the truth the whole truth and nothing but the truth so help you God"?, she said, "I do". The judge said, "you may be seated", she sat down and the judge said, "please state your name for the record"?, she said, "Penelope Garcia Morgan".
The judge said, "ohhhh congratulations, when did you get married"?, she said, "yesterday mam", she said, "well we thank you and your husband both for being here with us today". She smiled and said, "thank you mam", she looked at Penelope and said, "can you tell me your side of what happened and please start from the time you broke up with Mr. Lynch""?, she nodded her head yes as she opened her mouth and got ready to give her testimony.
