Once Upon A Straight Tequila Night

Chapter 19 - The Engagement Party

Penelope's POV

After we got back to work our week off the first thing that everyone asked was "how was your week off" I couldn't help but smile and look towards Derek who was also smiling as he walked over to me and wrapped his arms around me and entwined the fingers of our left hands together and then bought our joined hands up and examined the beautiful diamond ring that sits proud on my finger, JJ was the first to catch on with what Derek was looking at and she got all excited as she got closer to us she took our joined hands and looked at the ring and said "Garcie when were you going to tell me that you got engaged."

I smile and say "Derek and I were going to tell everyone this morning when everyone got in but then you noticed the ring and blew our secret before we could do it ourselves" Rossi, Reid and Hotch all patted Derek on the back and congratulated him and then they all gave me a hug while JJ and Emily wrapped their arms around both Derek and I congratulating us and then JJ said we will have to throw you guys an engagement party to celebrate this wonderful union."

That was 4 weeks ago that all the of that happened and Derek and I have been spending a lot of time together since then, he has been staying at my apartment some night and then we stay at his house the other nights when the team is in town and when the team is out of town I stay at his house with Clooney so that Derek doesn't have to rely on the dog walker, and it's nice to have company when he is out of town.

We still have another 2 weeks until our engagement party and I can't wait to go out and celebrate with our friends and family as JJ invited Fran, Sarah and Desiree to fly in for the weekend, when we first told Fran that we are engaged she could barely control her urge to squeal over the phone but she did say mostly to Derek "now I will finally get my grand-babies I have always wanted" I laughed and said "yes Fran you will finally get your grand-babies" she quickly came back at me and said "listen to me Penelope I will not have you call me Fran it will be Mamma or Mamma Morgan do you understand" I nod my head even though she can't see me and say "yes Mamma I understand" she then says "good, now go and get practicing making me my grand-babies" but little to everyone ones knowledge the seed had already begun to sprout inside Penelope's uterus.

Derek's POV

After we got back to work our week off the first thing that everyone asked was "how was your week off" I couldn't help but smile and look towards Penelope who was also smiling as I walked over to her and wrapped my arms around her and entwined the fingers of our left hands together and then bought our joined hands up and examined the beautiful diamond ring that sits proud on her finger, JJ was the first to catch on with what I was looking at and she got all excited as she got closer to us she took our joined hands and looked at the ring and said "Garcie when were you going to tell me that you got engaged."

Penelope smiled and said "Derek and I were going to tell everyone this morning when everyone got in but then you noticed the ring and blew our secret before we could do it ourselves" Rossi, Reid and Hotch all patted me on the back and congratulated me and then they all gave Penelope a hug while JJ and Emily wrapped their arms around both Penelope and I congratulating us and then JJ said "we will have to throw you guys an engagement party to celebrate this wonderful union."

We still have another 2 weeks until our engagement party and I can't wait to go out and celebrate with our friends and family as JJ invited my Mamma, Sarah and Desiree to fly in for the weekend, when we first told my Mamma that we are engaged she could barely control her urge to squeal over the phone but she did say mostly to me "now I will finally get my grand-babies I have always wanted" Penelope laughed and said "yes Fran you will finally get your grand-babies" she quickly came back at me and said "listen to me Penelope I will not have you call me Fran it will be Mamma or Mamma Morgan do you understand" I nod my head even though she can't see me and say "yes Mamma I understand" she then says "good, now go and get practicing making me my grand-babies" but little to everyone ones knowledge the seed had already begun to sprout inside Penelope's uterus.

Penelope's POV

The day of the engagement party has finally arrived and to quite honest with you I haven't been feeling the greatest the past couple of days and I really just want stay home and rest but being that this has been planned for 5 and a half weeks I can't really back out of it now can I, Derek and I have spent the day with his Mamma and sisters getting to know each other a little better even though they seem to know a lot about me already from what Derek has told them and I know a lot about them already too from what Derek has told me it has been nice just to relax in comfortable clothing I can't stand tight things around my waist at the the moment and I think it has something to do with the fact that I am constantly nauseous and a few times I have had to leave the kitchen when preparing coffee Fran is looking at me with a big smile on her face and says "Penelope can I speak to you in private for a moment."

I nod my head and stand up and make my way over to where she is standing before we move out of the kitchen and into the living room as I say "what would you like to talk about Mamma" I notice that she is looking down at my belly when she says "Penelope are you feeling ok because I have noticed a few times that you gag a little at the smell of coffee and that you keep adjusting the waistband of your shorts is there something that you and Derek are not telling me" I look at her with a confused expression and say "no Mamma there is nothing that Derek and I haven't told you but I am feeling a little off at the moment and have been for a few days and I don't know why" Fran steps closer to me and says "have you ever considered that you maybe pregnant."

I bite down on my bottom lip and try to count back to when I had my last period, I finally work out that my last period was just after I was shot but that doesn't really help me because my period have always been irregular ever since I was a teenager, but now that I come to think about it I haven't had a period since then so I say "no I never even thought about that but maybe I could go to the store and get a pregnancy test and find out before we go out tonight" Fran nods at me and heads back into the kitchen only for Derek to come into the living room and he says "Baby what's wrong, are you ok you look like you have seen a ghost" the only response I gave him is a nod of the head before picking up my keys and purse and slip on a pair of flip flops and head out the door, Derek is standing at the door watching as I get in my car and reverse out of his driveway.

Derek's POV

Penelope and I have spent the day with my Mamma and sisters getting to know each other a little better even though I have told them a lot about her already and that I have told Penelope a lot about our family too, it has been nice just to relax although I have notice that Penelope is a little fidgety and looking the greatest she hasn't been feeling well for a couple of days I have also noticed Mamma looking at Penelope with a big smile on her face and then she says "Penelope can I speak to you in private for a moment."

I watch as my Baby Girl nods her head and stands up and makes her way over to where Mamma is standing before they move out of the kitchen and into the living room I am tempted to move closer to hear what they are asking about but I decide against it and when Mamma comes back into the kitchen I get up and go into the living room and I say "Baby what's wrong, are you ok you look like you have seen a ghost" the only response she gives me is a nod of the head before picking up her keys and purse and slips on a pair of flip flops and heads out the door, I am standing at the door watching as she gets in her car and reverse out of the driveway.

I go back into the kitchen and say "Mamma do you know what is wrong with Penelope, she wouldn't look at me and wouldn't speak to me which is not like her unless I do something stupid" Mamma looks at me and say "I think I may have picked on what is wrong with Penelope and I bought it to her attention so she just ducked out to the store and she will be back soon and then we will all know, ok so don't worry she will be fine I promise you."

Penelope's POV

I pull into the store car park and find a space, I quickly jump out of the car and run inside I find the aisle with all the feminine products and pregnancy tests not know which one is best I grab three different brands and make my way to the checkout, I pay for my items and run back to my car and head back to Derek's when I get back and in the front door everyone is sitting in the living room so I quickly go up the stairs and into Derek's ensuite bathroom I close and lock the door behind me when I hear his footsteps coming up the stairs he knocks on the bathroom door and says "Baby are you ok, what did you need to go to the store to get" here I am sitting on the toilet reading instruction to a home pregnancy test, I pull the cap off the test and begin to pee on it I then replace the cap and place it on the counter then clean myself up.

I unlock and open the door only to find Derek still standing there he pulls me into his chest and holds me while looking over my shoulder to see what is on the counter and he says "Baby Girl do you think you might be pregnant" I seem to have lost all my words so I just nod against his chest he leans down and places a kiss to the top of my head finally the timer in my phone goes off and it is time to check the results I maneuver myself from his arms and turn to the counter and pick up the test stick, I turn it over and there it is two pink lines the test is positive finally I smile and turn back to Derek and say "are you ready to be a daddy Hot Stuff" he tries to say everything all at once but just mumbles everything together but he stops composes himself and says "we are going to have a Baby Goddess" I nod and say "yes we are Handsome."

I make my way out of the bathroom and back downstairs with Derek hot on my heels and when we get to the bottom of the stairs he takes my hand and we walk into the living room where everyone is sitting Derek and I can't help but smile, Fran looks at us and can tell from the smiles on our faces that what she suspected is true when Derek says "we are going to have a baby" immediately Fran jumps up and comes over to hug us both before saying "see I knew what was going on even before you did."

Derek's POV

We are all sitting in the living room when the front door opens and Penelope enters and heads upstairs so I quickly get up and follow her in to my bedroom but when I get there the ensuite bathroom door is closed so I knock on the door and say "Baby are you ok, what did you go to the store to get" I hear the rustling of paper and then I hear the water running, then the lock of the door is flicked and the door opens I pull her into my chest and look over her shoulder and on the counter I see a white stick with a pink lid and I say "Baby Girl do you think you might be pregnant" she seems to have no words so she nods against my chest I lean down and place a kiss on top of her head then I hear the timer on her phone going off and she maneuvers out of my arms and turns towards the counter and picks up the test stick and turns it over, she turns back toward me and says "are you ready to be a daddy Hot Stuff."

I try to speak but everything all comes out mumbled so I stop and take a second to compose myself before finally saying "we are going to have a Baby Goddess" she nods and says "yes we are Handsome" I make my way out of the bathroom and back downstairs with Penelope and when we get to the bottom of the stairs I takes her hand and we walk into the living room where everyone is sitting Penelope and I can't help but smile, Mamma looks at us and can tell from the smiles on our faces that what she suspected is true when I says "we are going to have a baby" immediately Mamma jumps up and comes over to hug us both before saying to Penelope "see I knew what was going on even before you did."

Penelope's POV

It's getting late so we all head upstairs and begin to get ready for the engagement party Derek and I can't wipe the smiles off our faces we take a shower together and while in the shower Derek pays a lot of attention to my belly he caresses it gently by rubbing soothing circles all over it making me feel better, after we are done in the shower we get out and he wraps a towel around his waist and takes mine and begins drying me off before wrapping the towel around my body so that while he dries himself I can start drying my hair and applying my make-up we head back into the bedroom and begin to get dressed I have chosen a long black maxi dress for tonight and accessorized with color and Derek has chosen to wear a black suit with a dark grey shirt with a dark silver tie.

Finally everyone is ready and we all get into Derek's SUV and head to Rossi's mansion where the party is being held, when we arrive we are greeted by all of the team who all have either a beer or a glass of wine in their hands, JJ walks away to go and get another glass of wine (presumably for me) when she returns she hands me the glass of wine I take it but just hold on to it and then I feel Derek put his arm around my waist and rest it on my belly and with his free hand he takes the glass of wine and has a sip before leaning in real close to my ear and says "oh no Baby Girl there is no way you are drinking this I will go and see if I can find you something that looks like wine but has no alcohol content that can harm our little miracle."

JJ looks at me weird and comes closer to me and says "why did Derek just take that glass of wine from you" I sigh and say "he took it from me because I haven't been feeling well the last couple of days and he thinks that if I have any alcohol it might make me sicker", JJ raises her eyebrows and takes my hand and drags me off in to a quite corner of Rossi's Mansion and says "ok Garcie tell me the real reason why you are not drinking at you own engagement party" again I say "JJ it is the truth that I haven't been feeling well the last few days but I found out about 2 hours ago that I am pregnant, but you can not tell anyone do you understand I have a doctors appointment scheduled for tomorrow morning so until I know it is confirmed for sure that I am expecting I don't want to many people to know Ok" JJ just nod her head and we go back to the party and I find Derek standing with the guys with the glass of wine he took from me but also another glass with what looks like apple juice and soda water which would look like wine.

Derek's POV

It's getting late so we all head upstairs and begin to get ready for the engagement party Penelope and I can't wipe the smiles off our faces we take a shower together and while in the shower I pay a lot of attention to her belly I caress it gently by rubbing soothing circles all over it making her feel better, after we are done in the shower we get out and I wraps a towel around my waist and take her and begin drying her off before wrapping the towel around her body so that while I dry myself she can start drying her hair and applying her make-up, we head back into the bedroom and begin to get dressed Penelope has chosen a long black maxi dress for tonight and accessorized with color and I have chosen to wear a black suit with a dark grey shirt with a dark silver tie.

I am standing with the guys talking with the glass of wine I took from Penelope but also another glass with apple juice and soda water which would look like wine so that no one gets suspicious of why Penelope is not drinking at our engagement party I see Penelope coming across the room with JJ hot on her heels, JJ has a smirk on her face and I know that she knows why I took the glass of wine from Penelope as they join the group JJ gives me a little nudge and a wiggle of her eyebrows and I definitely know that she got it out of Penelope why she is not drinking alcohol.

Penelope's POV

The engagement party is in full swing and I for one is ready to call it a night but I can't do that without raising suspicion so I go and find a quite corner to sit in for a little while, I make my way to the living room of the mansion and collapse in one of the arm chairs near the window I am too busy staring out the window to hear footsteps coming my way, but when a hand touches my forearm I jump and then realize that I was to carried away with my thoughts that I didn't notice Derek crouching down beside me I turn towards him and he says "sorry Baby I didn't mean to scare you" I smile and say "it's ok Handsome I didn't realize you were there my mind was a million miles away thinking about everything that has happened in the last few hours and what will happen tomorrow at the doctors appointment" he continues to stare at me and says "Baby Girl you look tired how about we call it a night" checking his watch he continues "seeing as it is nearly 1 am" I nod and he takes my hand and we head back in and we find JJ and Rossi and Derek says to them "guys I think it is time to call it a night Penelope looks like she is about to pass out, so I want to get her home and tucked up into bed."

Both of them agreed and Rossi walked up a couple of stairs and says "can I have everyones attention please, I would like to thank everyone on behalf of the happy couple for coming to celebrate with them but it is getting late and our bride to be is looking a little worn out so again thank you everyone" as everyone starts finishing off their drinks and putting down glasses and start to leave Derek holds me against his chest his arms wrapped around me to help support me I bury my face in his suit jacket, I close my eyes and my breathing changes and I realize I have fallen asleep standing up so Derek carefully bends and places an arm under the backs of my legs and pick me up and carries me over and sits down and sit me in his lap.

Derek's POV

The engagement party is in full swing, I notice that Penelope has disappeared so I make my way to the living room of the mansion and find her collapsed in one of the arm chairs near the window she is focused on staring out the window that she doesn't hear me coming, but when I place a hand on her forearm she jumps and then realized that I was crouching down beside her she turns towards me and I says "sorry Baby I didn't mean to scare you" she smile and says "it's ok Handsome I didn't realize you were there my mind was a million miles away thinking about everything that has happened in the last few hours and what will happen tomorrow at the doctors appointment" I continue to stare at her and say "Baby Girl you look tired how about we call it a night" checking my watch I continue "seeing as it is nearly 1 am" she nods and I take her hand and we head back in and we find JJ and Rossi and I say to them "guys I think it is time to call it a night Penelope looks like she is about to pass out, so I want to get her home and tucked up into bed."

Both of them agreed and Rossi walked up a couple of stairs and says "can I have everyones attention please, I would like to thank everyone on behalf of the happy couple for coming to celebrate with them but it is getting late and our bride to be is looking a little worn out so again thank you everyone" as everyone starts finishing off their drinks and putting down glasses and start to leave I hold Penelope against my chest my arms wrapped around her to help support her she buries her face in my suit jacket, I notice her breathing change and I realize that she has fallen asleep standing up so I carefully bend and place an arm under the backs of her legs and pick her up and carry her over and sit down and sit her in my lap.
