Man Of Honor-Ch 42
When the Morgans pulled away from the jail Derek said, "are you alright"?, she looked at him and said, "huh, what"?, he said, "are you alright"?, she said, "yeah, yeah, I'm okay hotstuff,just thinking that's all". Derek said, "thinking, thinking about what sweetness"?, she blew out a deep breath and said, "thinking about how things are going to be now that Anthony and Savannah are in jail where they belong".
Derek reached over and intertwined fingers with his bride and said, "what did he say to you"?, Penelope said, "what didn't he say to me would be more like it", he said, "let me guess he threw us having sex up in your face". Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "yepppp, he's acting like the hurt party when he'd been cheating on me for months with Savannah", Derek squeezed her hand and said, "he's in jail where he belongs and we're here and we're going to raise our baby together while Savannahs sister is going to raise their daughter".
Penelope smiled and said, "how often do I tell you I love you"?, he winked at her and said, "every day it's implied", he then brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it as they continued their way home. When they pulled up in front of the house Reid walked out and said, "I'll get the baby for ya" and then he opened the door and unhooked the car seat and got the baby out and headed toward the house while Derek helped get his wife out of the car and headed up the path toward the house.
When the family stepped through the door they smiled as they heard, "WELCOME HOMEEEEEEE", Penelope said, "ohhhh guys it's beautiful" as she looked at the banner that was specially fixed by Henry and Jack to welcome their new cousin home. Derek said, "and something smells amazing", Fran said, "we prepared a family meal to welcome Penelope and Mia home", Penelope said, "I'm with hotstuff, it smells amazing".
Dave smiled and said, "and how are you and the little bambina today"?, Penelope said, "we're both great papa bear, great and glad to be home", JJ and Emily hugged her and said, "and it's good to have you here, we've missed you Garcie". Penelope said, "and I've missed you guys to", Sarah said, "we have the swing set up right by the dining room door so that way we can keep a close eye on the little princess".
Derek intertwined fingers with Penelope and said, "come on goddess let's eat", Penelope grinned and said, "you don't have to ask me twice handsome" as they headed through to the dining room hand in hand. As they sat down at the table Dave said, "I'd like to propose a toast", everybody raised their glasses and turned to look at him as he readied to speak.
Dave took a deep breath and said, "on this our first family dinner with our newest addition I'd like to say welcome home Mia, we love you and can't wait to spoil you rotten", everybody laughed in agreement. Dave said, "here's hoping that the amazing little family gathered around this table has a life filled with nothing but joy, peace and happiness from here on out".
Everybody said, "here here" and Dave said, "alright let's eat" and everybody nodded their heads in agreement as they started digging in to the delicious meal that Fran and the girls had prepared to welcome Penelope and Mia home. As they continued eating, laughing and talking Penelope knew that she was without a doubt the luckiest woman in the world because she had the best family in the world, a family that would stick together and be there for each other no matter what.
Derek smiled as her intertwined fingers with Penelope and whispered, "I love you Mrs. Morgan", she smiled and said, "and I love you Mr. Morgan", she then glanced at her beautiful sleeping daughter. She sighed happily and then realized that with Savannah and Anthony spending the rest of their lives in jail they had nothing but a peaceful life ahead of them.
