41. A Welcome Home Party

Once Upon A Straight Tequila Night

Chapter 41 - A Welcome Home Party

Penelope's POV

We have been home for a week now and we have settled in nicely and the triplets are sleeping and eating every 2 hours during the day and every 3 hours during the night so at least Derek and I can get a little bit of sleep, we have lots of phone calls and presents being sent to the house for the triplets most of the presents have been clothes and toys which I have to put away because the clothes are to big for them at the moment and they aren't quite old enough to play with the toys.

Anyway today we have organized a little welcome home party and have invited my brothers and Derek's Mamma and the team, Fran has been here helping us with getting the food ready while Derek goes to pick up our photos from the Photography Studio and while I look after Jamilla, Evaleigh and Derek Jr. getting them fed before they have a bath and then I get them dressed in the cute little outfits that Derek and I bought while on our mini honeymoon, I then lay them down for a nap before everyone gets here otherwise they will end up fussing through the entire party.

Today we also get to show off the photos that we chose from our photo shoot that we had done, we chose the photo series of where Derek is kissing my belly and had it framed in order of him kissing each of the babies positions and then kissing me, then we chose the photo of where both Derek and I have a hand on my belly making a heart shape and the last photo we chose was the one where I was wrapped in the two pieces of chiffon with Derek standing behind me which is going above our bed, while the others will grace the living room and the hallway.

Derek's POV

I have driven to the Photography Studio to pick up our photos leaving Penelope to look after the triplets and while Mamma starts preparing the food for the party, I pick up the photos and I can't believe how well they turned out each and every photo is amazing and Penelope is glowing as many pregnant women do, my favorite photo is the one where she is wrapped in the two pieces of chiffon which shows off her belly perfectly.

Finally I arrive home and call out "Baby Girl, Mamma I am back" Penelope comes down the stairs with our little DJ in her arms and makes her way over to me and reaches up to kiss me gently on the lips, I pull back and then lean down and kiss DJ on top of the head before asking "Baby where are the girls" she smiles and says "they are in there bassinets upstairs sleeping, with Clooney laying near the bassinets keeping watch over them" I say "oh ok Baby, I have the photos would you like to see them" Penelope nods her head and says "yes please Handsome" we move to the table and I lay the wrapped frames on the table and begin to unwrap them, I unwrap the one of me kissing her belly first and she places her hand over her mouth and gasps I turn to her and notice that she has tears rolling down her face and I say "Baby why are you crying" she looks up at me and says "they are happy tears Handsome, I can't believe how well they turned out."

I proceed to unwrap the other two frames as Mamma comes over to the table to look at the photos and she says "Penelope I didn't know that you had professional pregnancy photos done" Penelope says "yeah we had them done while on our mini honeymoon, we went shopping for somethings for the babies and I saw a flyer so I picked one up and we decided that we would get them done so that we could show Millie, Eva and DJ what I looked like when I was pregnant with them" Mamma then said "well they are very beautiful, I especially like the one of Derek kissing your belly."

Penelope's POV

Oh my god the photo is beautiful I have tears of happiness rolling down my face and Derek turns to me and says "Baby why are you crying" I say "they are happy tears Handsome, I can't believe how well they turned out" as Derek unwraps the other two frames and Fran comes over to the table to look at the photos and says "Penelope I didn't know you had professional pregnancy photos done" I say "yeah we had them done while on our mini honeymoon, we went shopping for somethings for the babies and I saw a flyer so I picked one up and we decided that we would get them done so that we could show Millie, Eva and DJ what I looked like when I was pregnant with them" Fran then said "well they are very beautiful, I especially like the one of Derek kissing your belly."

It is now 11:30 am and everyone will be starting to arrive around noon, so I am just in the kitchen getting bottles ready for the next feeding which will be at noon, I am now sterilizing bottles and making them up so that during the night we can just take them out of the fridge and heat them in boiling water until they are tepid, Derek is outside getting tables and chairs set up and Fran has just ducked home to her house to get changed since she is only a few blocks away from us which will definitely come in handy when I go back to work.

At exactly 12 noon the door bell rings and I make my way to the door and see my brothers standing there all of them have huge smiles on their faces, I reach out and hug them all together and say "come on in, I will show you out the back where Derek is getting everything ready" just as I finish saying that I hear 3 cries coming from upstairs and say "excuse me but I need to go and get the triplets" Markus turns to me and says "would you like some help P" I nod and say "yes please, we can bring them down so that they can have their feed before everyone else gets here" just then Derek comes in the back door and sees that my brothers have arrived and reaches out his hand and shakes each of their hands and says "come on out and grab a drink and some nibblies and pull up a seat."

I go upstairs with Markus and I pick up Baby DJ and hand him to Markus and say "meet your nephew Derek Jr" I then pick up Millie and hand her to him and say "meet your niece Jamilla" I then pick up Eva and cradle her in my arms and say "meet your other niece Evaleigh" Markus smiles and says "Oh P they are gorgeous" I then notice that they are starting to get fussy and I say "I think we better get them downstairs and get them fed before we have three very unhappy little babies" Markus turned and left the bedroom and began his decent down the stairs and by the time I reach the bottom of the stairs all three babies are screaming, I take Markus and the babies outside I hand Evaleigh over to Peyton while Markus hands Derek Jr over to Phillip while holding onto Jamilla while I quickly run back inside and grab the 3 bottles of formula off the bench and make sure I give the correct colored bottle to the right baby so that we can keep a record of how much each baby is drinking.

Derek's POV

While Penelope and Markus are upstairs getting the babies Peyton, Phillip, Matthew and I talk about sport until I hear all three babies screaming, I am about to get up and help Penelope but she is already out the back door and handing over baby Eva to Peyton before running back inside to grab their bottles and then handing the correct colored bottle to her brothers, the guys quickly get the bottles in the babies mouths and each baby begins to suckle straight away on the teat until they have had enough and then Penelope's brothers put them over their shoulders and burp them before trying them again with their bottles.

Penelope is now sitting on my lap as we watch the sight in front of us, when I hear the door bell ring Penelope gets up so that I can get up to go and answer the door, upon opening the door I see that the entire team and Mamma are standing there I move aside and say "come in, everyone is outside so shall we go join them."

Everyone is finally all here and Mamma, JJ, Emily and Alex are all fussing over the babies who are all being passed around between different people even Jack and Henry want to have a little hold of their BAU cousins, everyone seems to be enjoying themselves the boys have now run off after Clooney, while I start the grill and get everything on there so that we can eat Penelope is smiling at our family as they all sit around talking, I notice that Rossi has spent most of the afternoon talking with my Mamma and I just hope that nothing will happen between them because I don't want Mamma to become wife number 4 so I will keep an eye on them and then I will talk to her about it later.

Penelope makes her way over to me and wraps her arm around my waist and snuggles in against me and whispers "handsome don't worry about your Mamma I am sure she is smart enough not to fall for his Italian charm, and if she does then I will give you permission to worry Ok" I nod and say "if Mamma does fall for his Italian charm he better not hurt her or he will wish he never met her because I will kill him."
