A Welcomed Surprise-Ch 15
The next few days passed by and Mia quickly adapted to living with Derek and Penelope, the wedding plans were almost finished and Penelope had passed 2 more visits and had one more to go. She blew out a deep breath and said, "Anita I can't thank you enough for everything you've done to help me".
Anita said, "it's a pleasure to see a good mother and you are by far one of the best I've seen", Penelope said, "she's such a joy to have around, she's so sweet and everybody loves her". Anita said, "and it's obvious the way she is with everybody that she loves them to" causing Penelope to nod her head yes in agreement.
Anita said, "well you'll have one final check in a few weeks and then you can legally adopt Mia", Penelope glanced over her shoulder and smiled when she saw that Mia had fallen asleep cuddled up to Clooney. Penelope said, "she loves Clooney so much and he's so protective of her".
Penelope said, "are you sure that you don't want some tea or lemonade"?, Anita said, "I'm sure but thanks", Penelope grinned and said, "Derek's going to be so excited to learn that everything is moving along so smoothly". Anita said, "how are the wedding plans"?, she said, "good, we're almost finished".
Anita listened as Penelope said, "Derek is wanting me to have the wedding I've always dreamed of", Anita grinned and said, "he's a keeper Penelope". Penelope sighed happily and said, "tell me about it", Anita said, "it's hard to believe that you've already had her almost 4 months isn't it"?, Penelope said, "it really is, it seems like only yesterday I was taking her to work to get some time off and now she's almost 4 years old".
Anita looked down at her watch and said, "I have another appointment so I'd better be going but don't worry everything is going great". Penelope smiled as she walked Anita to the door, when the door opened Anita said, "where is your fiancée"?, Penelope said, "the teams out of town on a case but hopefully they'll be back home soon".
Penelope grinned and waved at Anita as she stepped down the steps and headed down the walk toward her car, as Anita pulled away from the curb Penelope started feeling a little dizzy. She closed the door and walked slowly over and sat down on the couch, she laid her head back against the back of the couch and was suddenly hit with a wave of nausea.
She covered her mouth and said, "I bet I've got Dereks stomach bug that he had before he left", she stayed on the couch until the dizziness passed and then she got up and walked into the kitchen and fixed some tea and by the time she got back to the couch Mia was awake and walked over to the couch and crawled up in Penelpoes lap.
Penelope said, "are you alright baby girl"?, she nodded her head and said, "uh huh, me fine momma", Penelope kissed the top of her daughters head and said, "that's good" as another wave of nausea hit her. She put Mia down on the couch and said, "sorry babyyyyy" as she ran across the room and to the downstairs bathroom with Mia running right behind her squealing, "mommaaaaaaaaaaa, mommaaaaaaaaaaa".
After emptying the contents of her stomach into the toilet Penelope said, "mommy doesn't feel good Mia", she then got dizzy and grabbed onto the side of the bed as she tried to reach her cell. She managed to reach her cell and hit Dereks number and put the phone on speaker and after a couple of rings she heard, "hey sweetness, how's my girls"?, Penelope said, "Derek, Derek I" and then everything went black and she slid down to the floor.
Derek started to panic when he heard Mia squealing, "mommaaaaa, mommaaaaaa", Derek said, "Mia baby talk to daddy, what's wrong with mommy"?, Mia said, "her fall down daddy, her sweeping". Derek said, "she fell down"?, Mia said, "uh huh her fall down".
Derek said, "Dave call momma and tell her somethings wrong with baby girl, Mia said that she fell down and is sleeping", Dave nodded his head and when the call ended he said, "she's on her way there now, she'll be there in a few minutes", Derek said, "baby girl listen to daddy okay"?, she said, "kayyyyy daddy".
The team listened as Derek said, "nana Fran is on her way over but I need for you to stay with mommy okay"?, she nodded her head and said, "otay daddy, we stay wif momma". Derek said, "that's daddys good girl, daddy is so proud of his big girl, yes he is".
He tried to stay on the phone and keep Mia calm until he heard his mom come into the house, when Fran stepped into the living room she said, "Mia where are you princess"?, Mia said, "me hewe nanaaaaa, me hewe". Fran quickly headed toward the bathroom and found her soon to be daughter in law unconscious on the floor.
Derek said, "momma what's wrong, is she alright"?, Fran said, "she's got a pulse and she's breathing", Derek ran his hand over his head and said, "do you need me to call 911"?, Fran said, "no need I already called them and I can hear the sirens up the street now".
When he heard the medics talking to Fran he got off the phone and said, "momma I'm on my way I'll be there as soon as I can". Fran said, "be safe baby boy", he said, "I will and take care of my baby girls for me until I can get there", she said, "don't worry about us, we'll be fine".
Before ending the call he said, "bye Mia daddy loves you and I'll be home soon", she said, "bye daddy, lub you", he ended the call with a small smile on his face. Dave said, "I've already made a call my jet will be here and be ready to take off again in a few minutes".
Derek said, "I'll call and let you guys know something as soon as I find out what's wrong", JJ said, "just kiss her for us and tell her we love her". Derek smiled at her and said, "I will" as he practically ran out of the police station, as he jumped into the waiting police car he sent up a silent prayer hoping that Penelope was alright.
