Man Of Honor-Ch 34
Over the next couple months Penelope became more and more stressed, the judge a friend of Anthonys refused to give them the restraining order because supposedly Anthony wasn't doing anything. Every time Hotch tried a new judge it worked out the same way with them refusing the order, one judge went so far as to say that Anthony was the father and was entitled to know what was happening with his child.
They were so glad that things with Savannah had calmed down and the only time she called or stopped over was when she would have ultrasound pictures of the baby for Derek. Penelope had been put on bed rest because her blood pressure was to elevated and she was told it was to dangerous for her to continue working until after the baby was born.
Penelope and Savannah were both now almost 7 1/2 months pregnant and the closer it got to their due dates the more nervous Penelope was getting and the more anxious and happy Savannah was becoming. Everything was going good for Savannah and at her last checkup she was told that she was going to have a daughter, she was so happy, so happy to think that her and Derek were going to share a happy and healthy daughter.
Penelope and Derek on the other hand wanted to wait until the baby was born to find out the sex, because to them the sex didn't matter, the only thing that mattered was that the baby and Penelope were both healthy. Derek was put on restricted duty because he needed to be close to Penelope, especially right now with her pregnancy becoming dangerous with her blood pressure so he was home with his baby girl at night which was more than fine with her.
The day started out a wonderful day with Derek surprising her in bed with an amazing breakfast, they then watched some movies and then Derek spent a couple of hours working on the nursery. Penelope smiled as she watched her sexy husband put the finishing touches on the nursery that would hold their child, everything was perfect, they were just the way she'd always dreamed they'd be.
Derek had leaned in and gently kissed her lips but they pulled apart when his cell started ringing, he pulled it off and said, "it's Savannah", he then hit talk and said, "yeah Savannah". He said, "alright, alright calm down, calm down", he said, "it's okay, I'll be there as soon as I can just remember your lamaze breathing until I get there".
After the call ended he said, "I have to go she's in labor", Penelope smiled and said, "I'm so happy for you handsome", he said, "thanks sweetness", he kissed her lips and said, "next it'll be you". Penelope sighed as she rubbed her stomach and said, "be careful", he said, "always goddess, always" as he headed toward their front door.
He turned around and said, "I'll call momma and let her know I'm heading out and she'll be here in a few minutes", Penelope said, "and I'll be a good girl and sit here until she comes". Derek winked at her and said, "I love you", she said, "and I love you", he blew her a kiss and then headed out the front door leaving her alone but not for long because Fran arrived about 10 minutes later.
Fran sat down beside her daughter in law and said, "are you alright honey"?, Penelope said, "yeah I'm just worried about what Anthony is going to do when the baby's born". Fran said, "don't worry about that sweetheart, you're on bed rest because of your blood pressure and worrying isn't helping you at all", she nodded her head and said, "I know and I'm trying, I really am".
Fran said, "I know you are honey, how about I go get us some tea"?, Penelope grinned and said, "tea sounds great", Fran said, "and I have a surprise for you", Penelope said, "ohhhh is it something chocolate"?, Fran said, "of course it is" as she disappeared into the kitchen to get them both some tea.
Penelope moved around on the couch and grabbed her stomach as a pain rocked her body, she said, "ohhhh calm down little one, calm down", she blew out a deep breath and laid back on the couch only to be hit with another pain. Penelope said, "Frannnnnnnnn", Fran ran into the living room and said, "what's wrong"?, Penelope said, "I think I'm in labor".
Fran said, "maybe it's just Braxton Hicks from the stress"?, Penelope smiled and said, "yeah maybe that's it" and as she moved to sit up on the couch she grabbed her stomach and said, "ahhhhhhhhh, oh something's wrong Fran, something's wrong". Fran said, "let's get you to the car, we've got to get you checked out", Penelope nodded her head and stood up and as she did a gush of warm fluid ran down her legs.
Penelope said, "my water just broke", Fran smiled and said, "I guess my grandchild is anxious to meet his or her mommy and daddy", she said, "I'll run upstairs and grab you some pants and we'll get you changed and get you to the hospital". Penelope nodded her head yes in agreement and a few short minutes later Penelope and Fran were climbing into Frans car and pulling away from the curb.
