From Now Until Forever
Chapter 23
Derek woke early the next morning but he was no-where near ready to get out bed he just laid there he looked down and saw that his Baby Girl was still snuggled up against him her head still in the same position on his chest as it had been when he fell asleep he couldn't help but smile as he watched her sleep, she looked so angelic her blonde hair flowing out over his shoulder he bought his hand that was resting on her hip up to cup her cheek, he gently caressed his thumb over her cheek bone.
Penelope began to stir when she felt Derek's hand on her cheek she tried her hardest to make it seem like she was still sleeping, Derek felt the change in Penelope's breathing and knew that she was starting to wake up he leaned down and whispered "I know your awake Baby" Penelope smiled and slowly opened her eyes, once her eyes were fully open she made out the rough blur of her fiancee's face and moved her hand up to his neck and wrapped it around his neck and pulled him down until she felt his lips against hers as she kissed him, Derek broke the kiss and said "good morning Baby Girl" Penelope placed her hand on his chest and pushed him back down on to the bed, she rolled over and straddled him and said "I will show you a good morning Hot Stuff."
Derek made a move to grab her and pull her down so that he could kiss her again but Penelope jumped off him out of bed she laughed as she heard him say "that is just mean Baby Girl that is just mean" Penelope grabbed Derek's robe from the hook on the back of his door and put it on she then opened the door and exited the room she pulled the door closed behind her and made her way across the hall to the bathroom, Derek pushed himself up so that he was leaning against the headboard he put his hands behind his head and waited for his Goddess to return, it was a few minutes later that Penelope returned to the room and as she closed and locked the door she pulled the sash on the robe allowing it to fall open Derek bit his bottom lip as a growl passed his lips.
Penelope began to sway her hips to the beat of a song that was playing in her head as she moved she sashayed out of the robe and let it fall to the floor, Derek got up on his knees and crawled to the edge of the bed he quickly put his feet on the floor and stood up he took two steps across the floor and he was standing in front of Penelope who was still moving to the beat in her head Derek wrapped his arms around her and pulled her tightly against him, his hands coming to rest on her hips as he began to move simultaneously with her he leaned forward and rested his forehead against hers as he stared into her eyes all he could see was pure and utter love staring back at him.
After a few minutes of staring into each others eyes Penelope heard her stomach growl and she couldn't help but giggle at the timing, Derek asked "what are you giggling at Baby" Penelope replied "I was giggling at the timing of my stomach making itself known cause this Mama is starving as we certainly burnt some energy last night" Derek bent down and kissed her lips before saying "well we can't have my beautiful fiancee and babies starve now can we" she shook her head and pulled out of his arms and walked over to her suitcase she bent down and began pulling out clothes.
Once Derek and Penelope were dressed they made their way out of his bedroom and down the stairs they headed towards the kitchen where they found Fran cooking breakfast, Derek pulled Penelope's chair out for her and she sat down while he poured himself a cup of coffee and made a cup of tea for Penelope he placed her cup down in front of her before he sat down next to her she reached over and took his hand in hers entwining their fingers together as they waited for breakfast, it wasn't long before breakfast being placed on the table there was hash browns, bacon, eggs and toast, Fran handed both of them a plate before she sat down and quickly everyone began filling their plate with food.
Breakfast was quiet as everyone enjoyed their meal when they were done eating Fran asked "so what are your plans for today" Derek smiled and said "not much we are just going to relax and maybe watch a movie or two then we might take a walk down to the pond again" Fran smiled and said "well I was thinking of inviting Sarah, Desi, Yvonne, Cindy and Anthony over for dinner tonight but I can make it tomorrow night" she turned to Penelope before continuing "if you are not feeling up to it Penelope" Penelope reached out and placed her hand on top of Fran's and said "no I am fine Fran I would like to get to know the rest of the Morgan clan before we head back to Virginia" Derek was about to say something but Penelope put her finger to his lips and just shook her head.
Derek sighed as he knew not to argue with his Baby Girl because it would get him no where so he just wrapped his arm around her and placed a kiss to her temple, Penelope laid her head against his shoulder for a few minutes before she got up out of her chair she made her way out of the kitchen and up the stairs to the bathroom so that she could brush her teeth, Derek got and helped his Mamma clear the table before he too made his way upstairs to brush his teeth when Derek walked into the bathroom he saw Penelope standing there looking at her body side on in the mirror her hands smoothing her shirt over her belly he walked up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and put his hands on top of hers and whispered her ear "I love the way your belly is growing with our babies Goddess."
Penelope turned around in Derek's arms and said "are you going to love me when I am as big as a whale" Derek leaned down and kissed her lips and said "I will love you always Baby no matter what happens" Penelope felt a tear trickle down her cheek when she heard him say that, when Penelope and Derek were finished in the bathroom they made their way back downstairs and into the living room were Derek loaded the DVD player before he sat down on the couch next to his Baby Girl and started the movie, during the movie Penelope cuddled up into Derek's side her head resting on his chest.
