What Doesn't Kill Us-Ch 2
As Derek and Penelope headed to the airport he reached over and put her hand in his and said, "what's on that mind of yours goddess"?, she took a deep breath and said, "what if I mess this up"?, he said, "you aren't going to mess anything up". She said, "you don't know that, what if"?, he said, "babyyyyyyyyyy please listen to me, everything is going to be fineeeee".
She looked down and said, "thanks handsome", he winked at her and said, "anytime baby girl, anytime", it wasn't long before they were walking onto their plane quickly heading toward their seat. As the plane lifted off she squeezed his hand and smiled wishing they were truly together, he looked down at the wedding band on his hand and wished that it was real, that his marriage to his baby girl was real.
Several hours later they were pulling up to the address Hotch gave them, Penelope said, "wowwwww this place is amazing", he said, "I can hardly wait to see what the inside looks like". He intertwined their fingers and said, "shall we Mandy"?, she laughed and said, "yes we shall Andy" as they climbed their huge set of steps.
They both smiled as they saw the woman that they assumed was the realator walking toward them, she held out her hand and said, "Mr. and Mrs. Moran"?, he smiled and said, "please call me Andy and this is my wife Mandy". Penelope said, "it's nice to meet you", the realator said, "my name is Anita Bowen and it's nice to meet you".
Anita said, "how was your flight"?, Derek said, "it was fine", she opened the door and said, "all of your things arrived a few hours ago and the movers have put everything away". Penelope smiled as they stepped into the beautiful living room, she said, "ohhhh look at that fireplace, that is amazing", Derek wrapped his arm around her and said, "I knew that you had always wanted one and that along with the master bedroom was the two things that sold me on this house".
Anita handed him the 2 sets of keys and said, "I'm going to leave you two to get use to your new home", she handed them her card and said, "and if you have any questions please don't hesitate to call me". Derek said, "thank you so much Anita" and as she walked out of the house Penelope said, "thank you again Anita,
everything is amazing".
Anita waved as she walked out the door, she turned and said, "welcome to the neighborhood" before she closed the door behind her, after Penelope watched her get into her car she said, "how about we take a tour of the rest of the house"?, she nodded her head as they went through the house. As they went from room to room she couldn't believe how much better it looked than it did on the computer.
Derek wrapped his arms aorund her and said, "the computer doesn't do anything for this place it's amazing", she sighed happily and said, "that it is", Derek said, "how about we check out our bedroom and then head down to the kitchen and fix us something to eat"?, she rubbed her hands together and said, "ohhhhh our first meal in our new house".
He grinned as he held out his hand and said, "come on silly girl", when they stepped into their bedroom she said, "everything is perfect, this is just how I always dreamed our room would look like". The second it came out she bit down on her bottom lip, Derek smiled and said, "ohhhhhh really now"?, she said, "how about we check out that bathroom"?, he laughed as he followed her through the double doors.
Inside their bathroom was a huge garden tub and surrounding it was an amazing sound system and shelves and shelves of towels, she sat down beside the tub and said, "it's so beautiful and everything is perfect, just perfect". Derek sat down beside her and put his hand on hers and leaned in and kissed the side of her neck.
She closed her eyes and said to herself, "is this happening, is Derek actually kissing me", Derek kissed his way up to her ear and whispered, "remember we are probably being watched". She wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "I can't wait to try this tub out", he said, "how about after dinner"?, she laughed and said, "why Mr. Moran I do believe that you've talked me into it".
They were both all smiles as they headed out of their bathroom, little did Derek know that he was right and they were being watched, someone not far away was switching from room to room watching the happy couple. Just as they were heading into the kitchen there was a knock at their door, Derek walked over and opened the door and smiled when he saw a couple standing in front of them with a huge cake in their hands.
The couple smiled and said, "welcome to the neighborhoodddddddddd", Derek smiled and said, "thank you", he looked over his shoulder and said, "Mandy honey come and meet some of our neighbors". Penelope walked over and said, "wow that looks amazing", the woman smiled and said, "it's nice to meet you, my name is Laura Camper and this is my husband Joseph".
Derek smiled as he held out his hand and said, "it's nice to meet you, I'm Andy and this is my beautiful wife Mandy", Laura smiled and said, "it's nice to meet you Mandy". Penelope said, "would you like to come in and have some cake, Andy can make some coffee and we can sit down and talk", Joseph said, "thank you very much" as they stepped inside the house and Derek closed the door behind them.
What they didn't know was that somebody was watching as they headed to the kitchen and the question was when were they going to approach the seemingly happy couple.
