Once Upon A Straight Tequila Night

Ch 24 - The Surprise Visitors

Penelope's POV

The rest of the day flies by and soon Derek and I are heading home, I lay my head back against the seat and close my eyes, I'm exhausted, it has definitely been a long day. I rub my stomach and smile at the thoughts of three beautiful babies joining our family in a few months, I open my eyes to see Derek's smiling face.

I laugh and say,"what are you smiling about handsome"?, he intertwined our fingers and says, "I still can't believe that we are getting married and having triplets". I smile and say, "wellll it's happening handsome, soon we are gonna have 3 more people to love", he brings my hand up to his lips and gently kisses it and says, "I can't wait, our dreams are finally coming true"

I smile and say, "I am craving pizza for dinner, is that alright handsome"?, he laughs and says, "anything for you goddess", she rubbed her growing belly and says, "I am craving pepperoni, ham and pineapples". Derek laughs and says, "if that is what my baby girl wants then that is what she shall have", I smile and say, "you are spoiling me handsome", he grins and says, "always".

Halfway home Derek looks over at me and says, "did Peyton respond to your email"?, I sigh and say, "no not yet, I am still hoping but I don't know if he will come, I would love it if all of my brothers could come but I am happy with Markus coming". Derek brings his lips to my hand and kisses it again and says, "I wish that they would all come for our wedding, I want you to have the perfect wedding".

I smile and say, "as long as I am marrying you, my wedding will be perfect", he laughs and says, "have you given any thoughts on where you want to go on our honeymoon"?, I laugh and say, "anywhere will be paradise as long as I'm with my chocolate adonis". Derek smiles at me and says, "you are stuck with me forever now goddess, there is no way of getting away from me", I laugh as we pull into the pizza place to pick up our dinner.

Derek's POV

Thankfully the rest of the day flies by but during lunch Hotch, Reid, Rossi and I discussed surprising Penelope with the nursery, we are going to start working on it because at her next ultrasound we might be able to find out the sex of our babies. I look over at my baby girl and smile, she has had a very rough day and I know that she is exhausted, when she opens her eyes my smiling face is the first thing she sees.

She laughs and says, "what are you smiling about handsome"?, I intertwine our fingers and say, "I still can't believe that we are getting married and having triplets". Penelope smiles and says, "welllll it's happening handsome, soon we are gonna have 3 more people to love", I bring her hand up to my lips and gently kiss it and say, "I can't wait, our dreams are finally coming true".

Penelope smiles and says, "I'm craving pizza for dinner, is that alright handsome"?, I laugh and say, "anything for you goddess", she rubs her growing belly and says, "I'm craving pepperoni, ham and pineapples". I laugh and say, "if that is what my baby girl wants then that is what she shall have", she smiles and says, "you are spoiling me handsome", I grin and say, "always".

Halfway home I look over at her and say, "did Peyton respond to your email"?, she sighs and says, "no not yet, I am still hoping but I don't know if he will come, I would love it if all of my brothers could come but I am happy with Markus coming". I lean over and kiss her hand again and say, "I wish that they would all come for our wedding, I want you to have the perfect wedding".

Penelope's POV

About 45 minutes later we pull into the driveway and I get out of the car and head inside with my chocolate gum drop right behind me, once we get inside he smiles and says, "I will go and get us something to drink goddess, why don't you sit down on the couch and get comfortable". I kiss his lips gently and say, that sounds like a great idea handsome".

I walk over and sit down on the couch, I can hear Derek in the fridge getting us some drinks and there is a knock on the door, I get up and say, "I'll get it handsome. I open the door and there standing are Peyton, Phillip, Markus and Matthew my brothers, all four of my brothers are here, I squeal and Derek comes running.

Derek comes up to me and wraps his arm around me and says, "what's wrong goddess"?, I smile and say, "handsome, these are my brothers, this is Peyton, Phillip, Markus and Matthew. I smile and say come in, please come in and Derek and I step aside as my brothers step inside.

Oh my god I am in shock as I say "I can't believe you guys are standing here" I rub my belly as Markus says "P I know that you are about to get married but is there something else that you are not telling us" I smile and flatten my shirt over my slight baby belly and say "yes there is a few somethings that I neglected to tell you about via email and that is that Derek and I are 9 weeks pregnant with triplets."

Markus wrapped his arms around me and said "oh my god P congratulations" before turning to Derek and shaking his hand, then Peyton, Phillip and Matthew all congratulated me and Derek, we all sat down and ate pizza while we caught up, Peyton, Phillip and Matthew were a little stand-offish to start with but once Derek got the beers flowing they began to loosen up.
