A Welcomed Surprise-Ch 6
A few hours later after everybody had gone, well everybody but Derek that is Penelope and Derek had watched a movie with Mia and while Penelope was bathing her and getting her ready for bed Derek was arranging a little surprise for him and Penelope. When the bath was over Mia was so tired and sleep but she wouldn't go to sleep without Derek.
Penelope walked to the top of the stairs and said, "hotstufffffff, can you come here for a minute please"?, he said, "sure sweetness", he walked up the stairs and said, "what's up goddess"?, she said, "Mia won't go to sleep unless she gets to tell you goodnight". Derek smiled and said, "well then let me tell my princess goodnight".
When he walked into the room she smiled and said, "Dewekkkkkk", he sat down on the side of her bed and said, "tomorrow how about you, me and mommy go and pick out some stuff for your room, would you like that"?, she yawned and nodded her head yes. He kissed her on the forehead and said, "good night princess, sleep tight, I'll see you in the morning".
The little girl smiled and said, "nigh nigh Dewek, lub you", he smiled and said, "I love you to Mia", Penelope walked over and turned the night light on and then leaned down and said, "now remember mommy will be right across the hall if you need anything, okay"?, she yawned again and nodded her head yes.
Penelope kissed her daughter on the top of the head and said, "good night baby, mommy loves you", Mia giggled and said, "lub you momma" and those 3 words made Penelope the happiest she had been in a long long time. She walked over and turned the monitor on and then picked up the other piece and her and Derek walked out into the hall and before she walked away Mia had fallen asleep.
Derek said, "you've got quite the charmer on your hands there", Penelope said,"don't I know it", Derek said, "I have a surprise waiting for us downstairs", she grinned and said, "another one"?, he said, "yes Ms. thang another one now come on before I spank that little butt of yours okay"?, she saluted him and said, "sir yes sir" as they headed downstairs.
When they got into the living room she smiled and said, "ohhhhh Derek", he had spread out a blanket and laid pillows down in front of the fireplace and had wine chilling in a bucket. They walked over and he sat down first and then helped her down and said, "I figured that after the day you'd had that some wine would be good", Penelope nodded her head as she took a sip and said, "that's delicious, thank you".
Derek put his hand on hers and said, "honey why didn't you tell me about what the doctor said"?, she looked up at him and said, "I didn't want your pity Derek". He said, "pity, I would not pity you, I would have been here for you and so would the others but we would never have pitied you, not at all".
She smiled and said, "Derek I", he put his finger over her lips and said, "do you remember when I said that we needed to talk"?, she nodded her head and he said, "their is something that I need to tell you". She said, "what is it sugar shack"?, he said, "well I've always been better at show then tell" and before she could respond he cupped her face in his hands and leaned in and slowly claimed her lips with his.
When they pulled apart she said, "w w what was that"?, he said, "that was me telling you that it was time", she said, "time, time for what"?, he scooted closer and caressed her cheek and said, "time for us, I've been in love with you for years". Penelopes eyes filled with tears and she said, "D D Derek", he said, "awwww baby don't cry, this is good, I love you and I'm finally getting the courage to tell you".
Penelope said, "w w why now"?, he said, "because I'm tired of going to bed without you being there and I'm tired of waking up without you in my arms", Penelope said, "really"?, he put her hand on his chest and said, "do you feel that"?, she nodded her head and he said, "it beats that way whenever I think of you, see you, talk to you, anything concerning you it does that and it has since the day we met".
As the tears streamed down her cheeks he said, "I love you Penelope Marie Garcia", she kissed his palm as he wiped the tears away and said, "and I love you Derek Michael Morgan, I always have and I always will". He growled as he leaned in and claimed her lips with his again and he reluctantly pulled away and said, "if we don't stop now I don't know if I'll be able to".
She put her finger over his lips and said, "don't stop, I don't want you to", he felt his heart racing and he said, "are you sure because once we move to the next step we can't take it back". She said, "I love you and you love me and I'm ready but if you're not th" and before she could finish her sentence his lips were on hers again and she was laying back on the pillows pulling him with her.
