Man Of Honor-Ch 16
The next several weeks flew by as Penelope and Derek adjusted to their new relationship, when he was in town they were always together, either she was at his place or he was at hers. So the next logical step was for them to move in together, when Derek asked her she happily accepted his invitation, she couldn't wait to start the next step of their relationship.
It was only a few days later when the team helped her move her stuff into her new home, casa Morgan, she loved being with Derek, she had never loved a man like this before or been loved by another man this strongly. They were currently sitting on the couch watching one of her favorite movies, it had been a long and tiring week, the team had been gone on a case and just got home the night before.
He turned to look at her and said, "I can't believe that we've been together almost 2 months", she smiled sweetly and said, "me either handsome, everything feels so perf" and then she jumped up and ran through the house. Derek said, "baby are you okay"? and he jumped up and followed her through to the bathroom.
When he got to the door he saw her on her knees emptying the contents of her stomach into the toilet, he reached up on the shelf and got a cloth, he turned the water on and wet the cloth. He then dropped to his knees and started wiping the towel on the back of her neck, after a few minutes she looked up and sat back on her feet.
He said, "are you feeling better"?, she said, "some, yes" as she took the damp cloth and wiped her face with it, she then sat down on the bathroom floor and leaned her head against the wall. Derek said, "why didn't you tell me you weren't feeling good", she said, "I was feeling fine and then bam this wave of nausea hit me handsome".
Derek said, "how often has this been happening"?, she said, "off and on for about a week, why"?, he smiled and said, "is their any chance that you could be pregnant"?, Penelope said, "can you hand me my purse"?, he said, "yeah sure". He walked into the bedroom and grabbed her purse and carried it back to the bathroom and handed it to her.
She got her planner out and started looking, she then looked up and said, "I haven't had a period since April", Derek said, "sweetness it's June", she covered her mouth with her hand and said, "could I be pregnant"?, Derek said, "it's possible". Penelope said, "well we have been having sex", Derek winked at her and said, "a lotttttttttt of sex".
Penelope said, "we need to get a home pregnancy test and see", Derek said, "how about we just go to the ER and get you checked out", Penelope looked at him and he said, "sometimes tests can show a false positive or negative". She smiled at him and said, "listen at you channeling you inner Reid", Derek said, "ya like that do ya"?, she said, "I do slick, I do" as he helped her up off of the floor.
Penelope said, "let me get changed and then we'll go", he nodded his head and said, "okay baby girl" as he watched her walk over to the closet and grab some clothes and then headed back into the bathroom to get changed. About an hour later the tests had been done and they were sitting in the small cubicle waiting on her results.
She gently squeezed Dereks hand and said, "I'm nervous", he said, "what about"?, she said, "what if I'm pregnant"?, he brought her hand to his lips and kissed it and said, "then we'll be having a baby". She said, "Derek I'm serious", he said, "so am I, if you're pregnant we'll get married and start working on the nursery and", she said, "easy hotstuff, easy, we don't even know if I'm pregnant or not".
In another part of the ER Savannah smiles as she looks up at the doctor who said, "congratulations Savannah you're pregnant, around 6 weeks", Savannahs hand slid to her stomach and she said, "thank you Mindy, you've made my day". Back in Penelopes cubicle her and Derek looked up when the doctor walked into the room.
She sat down in front of them and said, "I have your test results Penelope", Penelope looked at the doctor and said, "am I pregnant"?, her friend Celia said, "you are, about 6 weeks". Derek smiled and said, "thank you Celia", she said, "you're very welcome, congratulations Penelope", she said, "thanks Celia, thanks for everything".
Celia handed her a prescription and said, "here is a script for prenatal vitamins and you need to find an OB as soon as possible", she grinned and said, "we will, we will" as they got up and walked hand in hand out of the ER.
