A Welcomed Surprise-Ch 5
When they pulled up in front of their new home Penelope said, "wowwwww sugar shack this place is amazing", he said, "if you think the outside looks good just wait till you see the inside". She opened the door and by the time she got out and looked around he was getting Mia out of her booster seat and they were ready to walk toward the house.
By the time they stepped up on the porch the others were pulling in and JJ said, "niceeeee Morgan", Emily said, "this place will be great for Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners". Dave got out and said, "Penelope and Mia will be very comfortable here", Fran stepped forward and smiled down at the little girl as Penelope said, "Mia, this is Fran, this is Dereks momma".
Fran said, "hi there honey, aren't you just the cutest little girl"?, Mia whispered, "you me gammy"?, Fran said, "do you want me to be your grammy"?, she nodded her head and Fran quickly said, "then I'll definitely be your grammy". Mia threw her arms around Fran and squealed happily as Fran wrapped her arms around the little girl and hugged her.
Derek said, "come on guys and let me give you all the grand tour", as they stepped inside the first room they saw was the living room, it had beautiful furniture including a big screen tv, huge book cases and against the wall was a fireplace. Penelope walked over and said, "ohhhh I love this fireplace", Derek winked at her and then said, "you also have one in your bedroom".
She said, "ohhhhhh that sounds amazingggggg" as they headed through to a kitchen that had anything and everything anybody could ever want or need. Emily said, "wowwwwwww, it's a good thing that you like to cook PG", Penelope laughed and said, "tell me about it", as she walked around she said, "I could get lost in this kitchen".
Derek looked down when he felt Mia tugging on his pants, he said, "yes mam"?, Mia said, "where me sweep"?, Derek said, "how about I take you up there and let you pick out the room you want, would you like that"?, she nodded her head yes. Derek picked her up and said, "through there is the den, laundry room, a huge room that can be used for a play room, 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, I'll be right back".
Penelope fell in line behind them as they headed toward the stairs, when they got to the top Derek put her down and said, "you can have any room you want except this one right here" as he pointed to Penelopes bedroom. Mia walked over and pushed the first bedroom door open and shook her head no, she then went to the second and third and shook her head no.
Penelope said, "what if she doesn't like any of them"?, Derek said, "that's easy I'll fix her one and have it the way she wants it", Penelope laughed and said, "ohhhh yeah, she's definitely got you wrapped around her fingers". Derek winked at Penelope and said, "what can I say she's like her mommy in that way isn't she"?, causing Penelopes heart to flutter.
Mia pushed open the door right up from Penelopes she giggled as she ran inside and started jumping up and down as she stood in front of the huge built in book case. Derek said, "I think she wants this room", Mia walked over to Penelope and put her little hands together and said, "pweaseeeeee momma, pweaseeeeee", Derek laughed and said, "like you could say no to her goddess".
Penelope said, "if this is the room you want then yes baby girl you can have this room", Mia jumped up and down and started squealing and Derek said, "we'll have to take her and let her pick out her bed and sheets and stuff like that". Penelope nodded her head and said, "definitely, that way she can have a hand in working on her room".
Derek said, "I have a surprise for you ladies in the back yard", Penelope said, "another one, hotstuff you are full of surprises today", he wiggled his eyebrows and said, "you have nooooo idea baby, noooo idea". Penelope felt her cheeks blush and then she followed Derek and Mia out of the room and down the stairs.
By the time they got to the bottom of the stairs everybody else was walking back in to the living room, Derek said, "okay guys we still have the backyard to check out". Reid grinned and said, "something tells me that very soon their is going to be a swingset, pool, sandbox, pretty much anything Mia wants is going to be there".
Derek said, "you would be correct pretty boy but for now there's this" and he pushed the double doors open to reveal several big oak trees in the back yard and in the edge of the yard was a gazebo and not just any gazebo the one Penelope had been wanting for years. Penelope said, "it's like this house was made for me".
Fran leaned in to Dave and whispered, "it was" causing Dave to wink at her as they all continued walking around the huge backyard at Penelope and Mias new house.
