A Welcomed Surprise-Ch 17

A little while later Fran looked at Mia and said, "how about you and nana go and get some ice cream, would you like that"?, Mia looked up at her mom and dad and said, "pweaseeeeeeee"?, Penelope laughed and said, "I think after she was such a big girl that she deserves some ice cream, what about you daddy"?, Derek said, "I agree with you mommy, I think she does".

Mia squealed and giggled as Derek lifted her up off the bed, she ran over to Fran and put her little hand in her nanas and Fran said, "I'll let the team know what's going on". Penelope said, "thanks Fran and thanks so much for everything you've done for me", Fran blew her a kiss and said, "that's what family does" and then her and Mia turned around and walked out of the cubicle leaving Derek and Penelope alone.

Derek said, "I still can't believe it, we're having a baby", he put his hand on her stomach and said, "are you sure you're alright"?, she said, "I'm more than alright" as she put her hand on top of his. She said, "I was in shock when the doctor told me and she said that she had retested the blood several times and every time it showed the same, we're going to have a baby".

Derek leaned in and kissed her lips passionately and when they pulled apart he said, "I love you and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, Mia and this little one right here". She smiled and said, "I can't wait for that either and I guess it's a good thing that our wedding is planned for a few weeks away because soon I won't be able to fit into my dress".

She smiled as Derek leaned down and kissed her stomach and said, "hey in there little one I'm your daddy and I love you so so much and can't wait to meet you", Penelope said, "and I'm your mommy and I can't wait to meet you, I never thought I'd get the chance to have a baby and I promise that you and your big sister Mia are going to have a life filled with nothing but love, joy and happiness if their is anything that me and your daddy can do about it".

Meanwhile in the cafeteria Fran was talking on the phone to Dave as she watched Mia eating her ice cream, Dave said, "that's wonderful news". Reid walked over and said, "what's wonderful news"?, Dave put Fran on speaker and said, "I'll let you tell them Bella".

Fran said, "well in about 6 1/2 months Derek and Penelope are going to be parents, Penelopes pregnant", the room was filled with cheering and Reid said, "that's amazing, that's the best news I've heard since we caught this sick freak a few hours ago", Fran said, "so I take it that soon you'll all be home"?, Dave said, "yeah, we're getting ready to head to the landing strip right now so we should be home in about 4 hours give or take".

Fran said, "well be careful my love and I'll see you all when you get home", Emily said, "tell PG and Derek that we're so happy for them". JJ said, "and tell Garcie that we're going to have a hugeeeeee baby shower for her", Fran laughed and said, "I'll tell em, I'll tell em" as the call ended. Fran looked at Mia and smiled, Mia had chocolate ice cream on her cheek and Fran reached over with a napkin and wiped it away and said, "there you go sweetie".

Mia smiled and said, "fank you" as she took another bite of ice cream, as Fran sat there she couldn't be happier, her son was finally happy with the woman that he loves and she has one granddaughter and in a few short months she'll be having another one. She took a deep breath and said, "nana is gonna spoil you and your brother or sister rotten" causing Mia to giggle as she stuck the small spoon into her ice cream once again.

At the hospital Derek gently squeezed Penelopes hand and said, "thank you", she said, "for what"?, he said, "first for agreeing to marry me and then second for Mia and thirdly for the little bundle that's growing rightttttttt here" as he touched her stomach. Penelope said, "are you sure that you're okay with all this, I mean you're getting a wife and 2 children all in short order and", Derek put his finger over her lips and said, "I have never been more excited than I am right now, we have so much to look forward to and I can't wait to get our lives together started".

Penelope caressed his cheek and said, "I love you Derek Michael Morgan", he winked at her and said, "and I love you Penelope Marie Garcia, soon to be Morgan" and then he claimed her lips with his in a passionate kiss.
