From Now Until Forever
Chapter 11
After Penelope and Derek got back to his apartment the couple could not keep their hands off each other and no sooner the door was closed their lips pressed together in a very heated kiss as they began undoing each others clothes Derek lead them to the stairs and as they made their way up the stairs they had begun to shed each other of their clothing leaving it forgotten on the stairs, by the time the pair made it to the bedroom their were each down to panties and boxer shorts their hands constantly roaming one another's bodies Derek and Penelope spent the rest of their weekend making hot and passionate love in bed and having sex on almost every surface of the apartment.
By Monday morning when the couple woke they didn't want to get out of bed they were exhausted they had barely gotten much sleep due the extra-curricular activities but today was the day of Penelope's doctors appointment and they would get to see their baby for the first time, but little did the happy couple know that inside Penelope's uterus there were 4 little babies growing, Penelope looked at the clock and saw that it was 7:05 am and she knew that it was time to get up she gently wiggled her way out of Derek's arms and put her feet over the side of the bed and began to stand up as she got to her feet she felt every muscle in her body ache.
Penelope made her way towards the bathroom and closed the door she turned the shower on and then sat down to use the toilet when she was done she stepped into the shower letting the hot water cascade over her aching body as it started to help loosen her tight muscles, Derek laid in bed for a few more minutes but when he heard the shower running he put his feet on the floor and stood up he couldn't believe how sore his leg muscles were.
Derek padded across the room to the bathroom and opened the door and entered closing the door again behind him, he knew that he wouldn't be able to relieve his bladder due to his morning hard-on so he slipped into the shower and wrapped his arms around Penelope and placed a kiss to her right shoulder before kissing his way up her neck until he reached her ear where he whispered sweet nothing's to her.
After spending 20 minutes in the shower washing each other they got out, dried off and dressed while Penelope was finishing getting ready Derek made his way downstairs where he made himself a coffee and latte for Penelope he let Clooney outside for a run, Penelope made her way down the stairs and into the kitchen but when she got there she was hit with a sudden wave of nausea and took off towards the downstairs bathroom where she emptied the contents of her stomach into the toilet when she was certain that she was done she wiped her mouth with a piece of toilet paper and threw it into the toilet and then stood and flushed she washed her hands and headed back to the kitchen.
Derek heard her heels clicking on the tiles of the kitchen floor and he turned around and when he saw her the smile he had on his face dropped and he moved to her side and said "are you ok Baby Girl" Penelope smiled and said "yeah Handsome I am fine, just a little nauseous but I am fine" Derek wrapped her in his arms and kissed her softly before moving to get his coffee and her latte ready in their travel mugs so that they could leave for work, Penelope could hear Clooney scratching at the door so she went to let him in.
Derek and Penelope arrived at the FBI building and Derek parked in his spot and got out grabbing his go bag from the back seat and threw it on his shoulder before he made his way to Penelope's side of the car he helped her out of her seat and then when she picked up her purse and other bags he took all but her purse from her and they walked hand in hand towards the elevator Penelope scanned her ID card and the elevator doors opened and the stepped into the elevator and Penelope pressed the button for then seventh floor, the elevator began slow down as it approached the seventh floor the elevator then dinged as it came to a stop and the doors opened the happy couple got off the elevator and walked through the double glass doors into the bullpen.
The couple were greeted by their friends who were sitting around drinking coffee and chatting, Penelope noticed that JJ was looking at her a little differently this morning I could have been because they hadn't seen each other in 6 weeks, JJ got up off the desk she was sitting on and put her coffee down and made her way over to where Penelope was standing she wrapped her friend in a hug and whispered in her ear "you look different today Garcie I don't what it is but you look great" Penelope said "thanks Jayje I feel pretty good today" JJ released Penelope from the hug and went back to the desk where she had been sitting.
Penelope excused herself and headed towards Hotch's office she walked up the stairs and to his office door it was open but she knocked anyway when Hotch looked up he said "come in Garcia" Penelope entered the office and closed the door behind her and then made her way over to his desk and took a seat in front of him, Hotch looked at Penelope and said "is there something wrong Penelope" Penelope shook her head and smiled before saying "Hotch I just wanted to let you know that I am pregnant and I was wondering if Derek and I could have a little time out this morning to attend my doctors appointment" Hotch couldn't help but smile and said "of course Penelope, what time do you need to be at your doctors appointment" Penelope replied "my appointment is at 10 am so we will need to leave here by 9:30 am" Hotch nodded his head and then said "do you know how far along you are."
Penelope shook her head and said "while you and the team were away on the last case I was feeling nauseous and after the fourth week you were gone I began to get sick so I did a pregnancy test and it was positive but I wanted to wait until Derek was home to tell him about the baby but I had made the appointment for today so that he could be here to come with me" Hotch stood up and made his way to the front of his desk and sat on the corner near Penelope he reached out and took her hand and said "that was a good idea if you had of told him earlier he would of want to come home to you and we needed him there to kick some unsub ass" Penelope laughed and said "well I am glad I didn't tell him and that you caught the unsub, also I was wondering if Derek and I could put in a request for some downtime so that we can fly to Chicago to see his Mamma."
Hotch knew that the entire team was due for some downtime after having been away for the past 6 weeks and he said "I don't think that will be a problem Penelope I was just waiting until Strauss got in and I was going to go to her and ask that our team be put on stand down for 3 weeks being that we have only just gotten back so leave it with me and hopefully by the time you and Derek get back from your appointment we will be on stand down as of tomorrow" Penelope smiled she was looking forward to having some downtime with Derek and going to Chicago to visit his Mamma before saying "thanks Hotch" she got up to leave and was halfway to the door when she turned and said "could you keep my pregnancy to yourself for a little while please" Hotch nodded and said "sure thing Penelope"and with that Penelope walked out of his office.
Derek saw Penelope come out of Hotch's office he knew that she was going to tell him that she was pregnant and ask about going to Chicago to visit his Mamma, Penelope headed for her office and being that Derek still had her bags he excused himself from the group and headed towards his Baby Girl's lair, both Derek and Penelope got to her office at the same time and Derek leaned in and kissed her before saying "so how did things go with Hotch Baby Girl" Penelope said "everything is all sorted, he was happy about the pregnancy and also he is waiting for Strauss to get in so that he ask her to let the team have 3 weeks stand down time" Derek was excited he hadn't been home to see his Mamma in a while and now not only was he going to see her he was going to be bring Penelope with him and they were going to tell her that she has a grand baby on the way.
At 9:20 am Penelope grabbed her purse and headed for Derek's office so hat they could get ready to leave for her doctors appointment but halfway to his office JJ stopped her and asked her what she was talking to Hotch about earlier but Penelope said "sorry Jayje I really need to get going I have an appointment to go to" and continued her way to Derek, she entered Derek's office and saw that he had his head resting on his desk and his eyes closed she walked over to him and shook him gently and whispered in his ear "Derek it is time to go to my appointment and maybe we will see our baby" Derek opened his eyes and smiled he sat up and pulled Penelope into his lap.
Penelope giggled as he began kissing her neck his hand resting on her slightly swollen belly, he kissed her one last time before helping her to stand up again he pushed his chair back and stood up too he wrapped his arm around her waist and the walked out of his office and towards the elevator and within a few minutes they were in the car and driving out of the FBI car park and on their way to the doctors office, in the 10 minute drive from work to the doctors office they spent their time talking about when they would go to Chicago and how they were going to surprise Fran with the news of of her grand baby.
Finally arriving at the doctors office they make their way in and Penelope goes to the receptionist desk to let her know that she is here for her appointment and the receptionist hands Penelope a clipboard that has a piece of paper on it with questions that will help the doctor to identify how far along she is and whether there is any sickness or health issues on the mothers and fathers side of the family, Penelope quickly fills in the answers to the questions and takes it back to the receptionist.
Right on 10 am a nurse calls out "Penelope Garcia" Penelope and Derek stand up and make their way hand in hand over to where the nurse is standing the nurse introduces herself "my name is Stephanie and I will be your nurse today, she the says now Penelope I need to run a few tests and check you over before Dr. Martinez will see you so if you will just follow me to the examination room we will get started" Penelope and Derek followed Stephanie into the room and then Stephanie turned to Derek and said "you must be daddy" Derek smiled and held out his hand and said "that I am, my name is Derek Morgan" Stephanie extended her hand to Derek and shook it as she said "nice to meet you Derek."
Stephanie released Derek's hand she turned back to Penelope and said "Penelope can I get you to hop up on the bed for me please, I need to take a small blood sample and then I will need to get a small urine sample to take to our lab so we can see what your hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) levels are and then I will take your blood pressure and your weight and then Dr. Martinez will come and do an ultrasound once we get the results back which should only be 20 minutes, Penelope climbed up on the bed and Derek took her hand in his because he knows how much she hates needles Stephanie got herself ready and cleaned the area and then said "ok now there will be just a little pinch" Penelope flinched a little but soon enough it was all over.
Penelope was given a little plastic specimen container and headed for the bathroom, quickly she got the sample hat the nurse needed and made her way back to the room and handed the sample to Stephanie who wrote Penelope's name on the side and put it in the bag with the blood sample before saying "I will get these to the lab and I will be back to finish your examination and hopefully by then the results will be back and we can get your ultrasound done" and with that she left the room.
