Part 6 (sorry I haven't posted anything lately, hope this works. Wedding soon... I hope lol)
Derek smiled as he brought his mom back to his apartment. He hated leaving at a time like this but work was calling and he had to leave soon. He walked over to Penelope. "Baby girl, I wanted to wait to show you the house, but we finished up the house, just have the landscaping left to do, but we have a case so I have to leave. So if you and mom want to finish that part up, any way you want. Up to you. Just remember, this is my wedding gift to you." He told her.
She smiled at him as she wrapped her arms around him. "I understand handsome, but I'm only looking forward to the honeymoon, you didn't have to get me anything else." She teased.
"I knew it! You do only want me for my body!" He frowned.
"I'm sorry. I didn't mean for it to be obvious." She laughed and kissed him. "I love you. And your body is a bonus."
He returned the kiss and laughed. "Well, I'm all yours."
With in twenty minutes they where pulling up in front of the house and getting out of the car. He had walked over and opened the door for Penelope. He had put a blindfold over her eyes.
Mrs. Morgan smiled as she watched them. "Wow, this looks great. Nice work Derek."
"Thanks mom, ok now baby girl, I hope you like this place." He said as he stood beside her, he slide the mask off of her and watched her face.
Penelope slowly opened her eyes and looked forward. At seeing the house, her mouth dropped. "Oh my god! Derek!" She smiled as she looked towards him. "Really?"
He nodded at her. "You like it?"
She nodded and kissed him.
"Just wait until you see the inside." He took ahold of her hand and walked to the door. He unlocked it and opened the door, letting them walk in first.
Mrs. Morgan let Penelope walk in first and then followed.
"I was also hope that maybe since your have seen it, that maybe you could do some furniture shopping. Maybe also once JJ and Emily return after our case that wouldn't mind doing some shopping too to help. Anything you want baby girl. So anyways, this here is the living room, everything was restored with the help of a crew and the guys also helped.. Through here is the den." He spoke as he slowly made their way through the bottom floor. "Library is here, and kitchen down the hall. Family room to the left."
Penelope was in aww over the inside of their new house. "Derek, this place is amazing!" She said following hims from room to room.
Derek smiled. "We found a surprise while we restored the house. Well a few things to be exact." He pulled out the small box and handed it to her.
Penelope looked up at him as she took the box from him. "Now what is this?" She said as she opened the box to find a beautiful cameo necklace. "Derek, this had to have cost you a fortune."
"Penelope, I said we found a few surprises. This was in the room."
"Really? I know you bought the house, and put a lot of money into it already. I don't want you going broke baby."
Derek kissed her. "I love you but we both have great jobs. Don't worry. Remember I have restored a few other houses and have money from selling those."
She smiled at him. "Good, because I really do love this necklace." She kissed him. "So, you found it in this room?"
He nodded. "Well, kind of." He said as he pulled on the shelve and it opened up.
Penelope's eyes went wide. "A secret room! Oh my, I've heard about these but never really seen one." She walked into it. "This all was already in this room?"
"Yes it was. We restored the room and its furniture and put it back as we found it. There was some really nice items in here."
She walked in and had a look at a few things. "I wonder who they are." She said picking up a picture frame on the one desk.
"I'm sure you'd figure it out my love." He smiled and looked at his mom.
"Nice find. You all did a wonderful job." His mom spoke up with a smile on her face.
"Now, lets head on up stairs. There's four bed rooms. One of which is a master room which has a walk in closet. I was thinking about have one as a guest room, for when mom visits, and making of of the rooms into a computer room. So if we are away on a case and its late at night and we need you. You can work from home." He looked over at her as he stood in the hallway and watched as they looked over the rooms.
"I can really have my own computer room?" She asked with a smile on her face.
"Of course."
They spent a few more minutes there and then he showed them the backyard. "Landscaping will be here tomorrow. So you just tell them how you want it and they will listen. Plan it for the wedding baby girl."
"This area is perfect. You where right mom." She walked over to Derek and hugged him. "What have I done to deserve you?"
"You being you and loving me. That's what you have done." He held her close to him. "I can't wait for us to be living here. It'll be our dream come true." He kissed her nose.
She smiled and knew this would be the best wedding she's ever seen or went to. She couldn't wait to get planning with mom.
