Armed And Dangerous-Ch 26
Epilogue- Several Months Later
Penelope moaned as another contraction hit her, Derek wiped her forehead and said, "you're doing great goddess", she smiled and said, "I love you Derek", he kissed her lips gently and said, "I love you to baby girl". The doctor looked up and said, "alright Penelope one final push and then baby number 1 will be here", she blew out a deep breath and said, "ok doc".
Seconds later a piercing pain went through her, she squeezed Dereks hand as she pushed, she didn't stop pushing until the doctor told her to, she smiled as she then heard the cry of her first child. The doctor held the baby up and said, "congrats mom and dad it's a girl", Derek kissed Penelope on the lips and said, "did you hear that gorgeous I have two baby girls now".
She smiled and said, "I heard handsome, I heard", the doctor said, "relax while you can Penelope because baby number 2 won't wait long", she nodded her head yes in agreement as she collapsed against the pillows. The new parents watched as the doctor cut the cord of their daughter and then quickly handed her to a nurse as she got ready for the next baby.
Derek said, "we have to decide on a name for our angel", she smiled and said, "I was thinking about that", he said, "ohhhh you have huh"?, she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "I was thinking Victoria Francine Morgan". He smiled and said, "ohhhhh that's perfect", she said, "I wanted to name her after her two grandmas", he said,
"a beautiful name for a beautiful little girl".
She took a deep breath and said, "where did the team have to go for this case"?, he said, "they are gone to Montana this time", she squeezed his hand and said, "I'm so glad that you're here with me". He kissed her lips and said, "me to sweetness", she smiled but that smile soon fell when she was hit with another contraction, the doctor said, "alright Penelope I need you to push".
She nodded her head yes and squeezed Dereks hand hard as she started pushing, Dereks heart was racing as his wife collapsed against the bed, the doctor said, "you are doing great Penelope and it won't be long until baby number 2 is here". Penelope was hit with contraction after contraction and then finally the room was once again filled with the crying of their second child.
The doctor held up the baby and said, "and here is your little boy", Derek smiled and said, "son, I have a son"?, the doctor smiled and said, "congratulations daddy,
you have a son and a daughter". They watched as the doctor cut their sons cord and then handed him over to the nurse to be checked out, Penelope said, "are they, are they alright"?, she grinned and said, "they're great Penelope, both are healthy and happy babies".
Derek grinned as the nurse handed the doctor one baby, she said, "here you go mommy, here's your daughter", Penelope kissed her daughter on the forehead and said, "hi princess, how is mommys baby girl". Derek caressed her cheek and said, "hi Victoria, how is daddys sweetie", the little baby kicked her feet and laid there as Derek kissed her gently on the top of the head.
The doctor said, "Victoria weighs in at 5 lbs 3 oz and is 20 inches long", Derek said, "she's so beautiful", the doctor said, "do you have a name picked out for your son"?, Penelope said, "we sure do, doc we would like for you to meet Vincent James Morgan". Derek smiled and said, "a strong name for our little man", Penelope said,
"we named him after our dads".
The doctor smiled and said, "you have to gorgeous babies Penelope, congratulations", she said, "thanks doctor", she said, "we'll go and give you two some alone time with your twins". Penelope and Derek nodded their heads yes in agreement as they watched the doctor and nurses walk out of the room, Penelope looked at the bundle in Dereks arms and said, "and how is mommys little man"?, Derek touched his sons hand and said, "awwwww baby girl, they're perfect, just like you".
Penelope kissed her husband on the lips and said, "I think he looks like his daddy", he grinned and said, "and I think our princess looks like her mommy", they both grinned as they looked back down at their babies. As Derek looked at his little family he couldn't help but smile knowing that his family was now richer by the two little souls that were squirming in his and Penelopes arms.
Derek smiled and said, "we need to send the team pictures ohhhhh and momma", Penelope said, "what did she say when you told her I was in labor"?, he laughed and said,
"she said, "it figures, I go away for the weekend and my grandbabies pick then to be born". Penelope looked down at Victoria and said, "don't you worry, you will get to see your grandma Fran and nonno Dave and your aunts and uncles very very soon".
Derek handed Vincent to Penelope and said, "let me get some pictures so that I can send them to everybody", Penelope smiled as Derek took several group shots and said, "there, sent". Penelope said, "would you like to hold your daughter"?, he said, "of course, you know how much I love holding my baby girls in my arms", Penelope winked and said, "that I do handsome, that I do".
The happy couple smiled at each other as they sat there holding their babies in their arms, Penelope kissed her son and said, "mommy loves you Vincent, yes she does"
as she kissed the end of his nose. Derek grinned down at his daughter and said, "you are going to be a heartbreaker when you get older, that's for sure", all Penelope could do was giggle as Derek sat there telling her how they first met.
She looked down at he son and said, "your daddy is silly", Derek inwardly smiled as Victoria squeezed his hand, he then said, "once upon a time there was goddess and her name was Penelope" causing Penelope to smile and roll her eyes as he continued the story of how their family came to be.
