Once Upon A Straight Tequila Night

Chapter 47 - Where Has Time Gone

Penelope's POV

Well I can't believe that 6 months have passed since I gave birth to the triplets and Derek and I wouldn't change that for the world, we have been blessed with the three most perfect babies they only ever cry when they are hungry, tired, need their diapers changed or when they are sick so far the only time that they have been sick is when they began teething and they ended up with a cold and during the time they were sick they were very clingy and could only be comforted by Derek and I which was a little hard but we got through it.

I am glad to be a stay at home mama it allows me to be close to them when they need me and it also allows me watch them as they grow, at the moment they are learning to hold their own bottles, as well as learning to sit up on their own and they have also learnt how to roll from their tummies on to their back while having tummy play, it amazes me to think they were born 12 weeks early but that has not stopped them, Millie, Eva and DJ have started babbling a lot more, they smile and laugh constantly at each other and anyone that is around at the time, although right at this moment I have three cranky little munchkins that are cutting teeth which means that Derek and I won't be getting a lot of sleep tonight.

During the last 6 months Derek and I have had our whole immediate and extended BAU family at our house quite a lot all the babies love each and every family member but there is something about Uncle Spencer that Millie, Eva and DJ love, when ever Spencer is around all three have got these beautiful little smiles on their faces and the sound of their giggles is enough to make smile, even though I am now a stay at home mama I am still able to assist the team with working on cases I just do it all from a my little bunker that I had Derek set up for me so that I don't have to leave the triplets with anyone.

Penelope likes to be a stay at home mama it allows her to be close to them when they need her and it also allows her watch them as they grow, at the moment they are learning to hold their own bottles, as well as learning to sit up on their own and they have also learnt how to roll from their tummies on to their back while having tummy play, it amazes me to think they were born 12 weeks early but that has not stopped them, Millie, Eva and DJ have started babbling a lot more, they smile and laugh constantly at each other and anyone that is around at the time, although right at this moment I have three cranky little munchkins that are cutting teeth which means that Penelope and I won't be getting a lot of sleep tonight.

Penelope's POV

Now that the weather is getting hotter and the triplets are getting older I think it would be a good idea get the triplets used to going under water, I would like to be able to get the babies in the pool, all three already love the water they love to splash water around at bath time so I think now would be a good time to start the triplets with learning to swim.

I hear Derek arrive home and he calls out "Baby Girl where are you" I call out and say "I am upstairs in the nursery Baby" I hear his footsteps coming up the stairs and then I feel hiss arms wrap around my waist he kisses my cheek before he rests his chin on my shoulder while I continue giving Millie a soothing massage after her bath, Derek moves his hands from my waist and gently places them on Millie and begins to follow my actions, we continue until her little eyes begin to close sot we stop and I dress her before swaddling her I pick her and cradle her in my arms before I lean down and kiss her cheek I then turn to Derek and he kisses her other cheek he then takes her and lays her in her crib before he moves to Eva and DJ's cribs to kisses them goodnight too.

Derek and I walk out of the nursery and pull the door over I turn and wrap my arms around Derek and say "handsome how would you feel about getting our little munchkins used to being in the pool so that we can spend time in the pool as a family now that the weather is getting hotter, I mean they love splashing around in the bath so I figured that with their love of water we should start them out early with learning to swim."

Derek's POV

I have just arrive home and I call out "Baby Girl where are you" she calls out and says "I am upstairs in the nursery Baby" I make my way up the stairs and walk into the nursery I wrap my arms wrap around her waist I kiss her cheek before I rest his chin on her shoulder and watch as she gives Millie a soothing massage after her bath, I move my hands from Penelope's waist and gently place them on Millie and begin to follow her actions, we continue until her little eyes begin to close so we stop and Penelope dresses her before swaddling her she picks her and cradles her in her arms before leaning down to kiss her cheek I then kiss her other cheek before I take MIllie and lay her in her crib before I move to Eva and DJ's cribs to kisses them goodnight too.

Penelope and I walk out of the nursery and pull the door over she turns and wraps her arms around me and she says "handsome how would you feel about getting our little munchkins used to being in the pool so that we can spend time in the pool as a family now that the weather is getting hotter, I mean they love splashing around in the bath so I figured that with their love of water we should start them out early with learning to swim."

I lean down and capture her lips with mine in a passionate kiss before saying "I think that is a wonderful idea it is better to be safe then sorry, and it is never to young to learn how to swim so how about this weekend we invite everyone around and we get our little munchkins in the pool."
