What Doesn't Kill Us-Ch 33
As they stepped inside the house Derek stood back and watched as Penelope walked around the living room, he had been working most of his free time for the past few months getting the house ready. Penelope walked over to the dual fireplace and said "ohhhh Derek, it's beautiful", he walked over and wrapped his arms around her and said, "do you like it"?, she said, "like it, I love it".
He then led her to the kitchen where she saw an amazing kitchen, with anything anybody could possibly want, then next the huge laundry room and then a couple of bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths downstairs. She said, "everything is so amazing", he put his hand in hers and said, "now it's time for me to show you all of the upstairs".
They slowly made their ways up the staircase, she was sure to hold her side as she went up each step, the first room on the left was their room, she stepped inside and saw her dream bedroom right down to the fireplace and window seat. She said, "you did all of this for me"?, he walked over and kissed her lips ever so gently and said, "nothing is to good for my baby girl".
She walked into her closet and said, "this thing is hugeeeeee", he laughed and said, "I wanted to make sure that you had plenty of your stuff", she walked over to where her shoes were and said, "I can't believe that you did all of this for me". He said, "come with me princess and let me show you to your master bathroom your highness".
Penelope giggled as he led her into the bathroom, she saw a huge garden bathtub surrounded by several shelves filled with all of her favorite fragrances, she then looked behind her and saw a beautiful sound system. Derek said, "when you get the all clear we are soooooo testing this bad boy out", she caressed his cheek and said, "count on it my love".
Derek said, "open that set of double doors", she walked over and pushed the doors open and said, "ohhhhhhhh my god a hot tub", she turned to look at him and said, "you got me a hot tub"?, he grinned and said, "I thought this would be something that we could both use after the long hard hours we have at work". She took a deep breath and said, "everything is so beautiful".
He said, "we still have Alexis room and several other bedrooms, the play room and a few more baths buttttt before we go out let me show you something else that is just for you". She followed him to something that she thought was a closet door but it was an office for her, she said, "an office, I can't believe that you fixed me a home office".
He kissed her lips and said, "believe it goddess", the rest of the tour took a few minutes especially Alexis bedroom, she said, "ohhhhhh Alexis is going to love this room, especially the window seat". He said, "well I want her to be happy and feel safe here", Penelope wrapped her arms around him gently and said, "she will handsome, don't worry".
After the tour was finished Derek led her back to their bedroom, he helped her onto their bed and made sure she was comfortable, he kissed her lips again and said, "I'll go start dinner but if you need anything just let me know". She winked at him and said, "the only thing I need I haven't been cleared to do and won't be for several weeks".
Derek caressed her cheek and said, "ohhhhhhh don't worry sweetness, we will more than catch up when you are ready", she laughed and said, "that's what I'm counting on sugar shack". Derek handed her the remote for their big screen tv and said, "I belive that your favorite movie is on", she turned the tv on and put it on the golden oldies channel and there it was, her favorite movie".
She said, "you are to good to me Derek Morgan", he tapped the end of her nose and said, "I almost lost you Penelope Morgan and it almost killed me", he closed his eyes when she ran her hand down his cheek and said, "you didn't lose me handsome, I'm right here, I'm safe and sound, sore but doing good". He said, "I'll let you know when dinner is ready".
She blew him a kiss as he stepped out into the hall, she laid there watching her movie and soon drifted off to sleep, Derek checked on her several times but decided to let her sleep till dinner was ready. Just as he was getting ready to put dinner on the table Fran and Alexis walked into the house with their arms filled with packages.
Penelope walked to the top of the stairs when she heard voices, Alexis looked up and said, "momma Penelope, momma Penelope", Penelope felt her heart racing as she made her way toward her new daughter.
