The Road Less Traveled-Ch 18
The next few weeks passed by fast with Derek getting released and the team and Penelope heading back to Virginia, it didn't take long for her to get settled in and she immediately started taking care of Derek. Fran was impressed with the woman that had not only taken good care of her son but had stolen his heart.
The team stopped by every day to check on Derek and Penelope and it was arranged that the team would be over to casa Morgan Saturday afternoon for a family cookout. Penelope was so excited with her new home, she loved it there and she loved Derek, so far things were working out good, well everything except she had no job, well no job other than taking care of Derek.
Derek sighed as he limped to the living room and plopped down on the couch, Penelope followed him and put his leg up on a pillow and said, "hotstuff you know that you have to keep that leg up". He said, "I know, I know but I'm getting bored laying in that bed all alone when you are out here working, I miss you sweetness".
She sat down beside him on the couch and gently kissed his lips and said, "I miss you to handsome but you need to rest and believe me when we're together the last thing I want you to do is rest but you heard the doctor, nothing for 8 weeks". Derek intertwined their fingers and said, "I know and trust me when I say that the past few weeks have been the hardest for me to because it's taking all of my restraint not to take you every night when you're laying in my arms".
Penelope smiled at him and said, "6 weeks down and 2 to go and then I'm all yours", he wiggled his eyebrows and said, "and I can hardly wait to claim that sexy body of yours in every way possible" as his lips descended on hers. She wrapped her arms around him and pulled him closer and soon she was almost straddling his waist and he was loving every second of it".
His hand slowly slid up under Penelopes shirt and was making it's way up to her breasts, he deepened the kiss by thrusting his tongue inside her mouth, she moaned against his lips wanting more, so much more. They reluctantly pulled apart when they heard somebody knocking on the front door, she blew out a deep breath and said, "sorry sugar, I guess we got carried away there".
He winked at her and said, "you don't hear me complaining beautiful", she jumped up and straightened up her clothes before making her way across the huge room to answer the door. She opened the door and saw the smiling faces of the rest of their family, Penelope stepped back and said, "come in, come in", Jack and Henry ran in first and headed right to where Clooney was laying and started playing with him.
The adults made their way to the living room to check on Derek, Fran leaned in and said, "how's he doing"?, she said, "he's doing great and his therapist said that his physical therapy is coming along great". Fran said, "that's great news and is he behaving himself, don't get me wrong I want those grandbabies because I'm not getting any younger", Penelope laughed and said, "we're both trying to be good but some times it's so difficult", Fran wrapped her arm around Penelopes shoulder and said, "believe me honey I totally understand" causing both women to laugh as they headed into the living room to join the rest of the family.
A few minutes later Dave rubbed his hand together and said, "I don't know about the rest of you but this old man is starving", Hotch said, "well then come on old man and let's get that grill fired up". Derek said, "I'll come with ya"?, Penelope said, "ohhhh no you don't mister, that leg has to be elevated for another half hour to 45 minutes, remember what the doctor said".
He winked at her and said, "yes mam, I'll be good", he then licked his lips and said, "until it's time for me to be bad that is" causing her heart to race faster at the thoughts of finally getting more of her man.
