Unbreak My Heart-Ch 28

While Derek was gone to pick up their food Fran and the girls spent the time getting to know the woman that had stolen their son and brothers heart, Fran could see why Derek loved her, she was so sweet, kind and loving and it was obvious that she loved him as much as he loved her. By the time he got back home he could hear the girls all laughing in the kitchen.

He followed the sound of the laughter and when he stepped into the kitchen Penelope said, "ohhhhhhh, no he did not", Desiree said, "he sure did and we're still getting Christmas cards from the firefighters". Derek said, "momma they are being mean to your baby boy", Fran grinned as she looked at the girls and said, "now girls you all need to be good to your brother".

Derek said, "thank you momma", he then looked at his sisters and stuck out his tongue causing Penelope to giggle, he tapped the end of her nose and said, "have you gone to the dark side baby girl"?, she shook her head and said, "nopeeee but the stories of you growing up were so cute". He leaned in and kissed her lips gently and said, "I love you".

Fran couldn't help but smile as she watched her son and Penelope as he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her passionately, it was good to see Derek so happy, he deserved to be happy and she deserved those grandbabies he had been promising her. Desiree walked over and grabbed the bags and said, "dinner timeeeee", the kissing couple pulled apart and Derek said, "yeah I'm starving".

Penelope grinned and leaned in and whispered something into his ear and he said, "promises promises", Fran shook her head and said, "I can't tell you how glad I am that you're in my baby boys life". Penelope sighed and said, "thank you Fran and might I say that it's great to be part of your family, you and your beautiful daughters are amazing people and it's a pleasure to know you all".

Derek leaned in and kissed her cheek and said, "and it's a pleasure to know you to sweetness", Desiree grinned and said, "I am so glad that you are tolerating my big brother". Derek looked at her and said, "tolerating me, geeeeee thanks a lot sis", she laughed and said, "awwww I'm sorry big brother, did I hurt your feelings"?, he stuck out his bottom lip and fake pouted and said, "it's alright I'm use to it".

Penelope kissed his lips and said, "awwww we all love you hotstuff", he winked at her and said, "and I love you all to, you are all my life", Fran sighed happily as she watched all of her children as they laughed and talked. About half an hour later Derek said, "we have your rooms all ready for you", Fran said, "are you sure that you want us to stay here, we can go and get a hotel room".

Penelope said, "of course we want you to stay here", Derek said, "momma we won't have you and the girls staying at a hotel, we have plenty of room and you three are always welcome here, always". Penelope nodded her head in agreement and said, "I love having you three here, this way we can spend some time together, we can get to know each other better".

Fran smiled and said, "we would love to stay", Derek said, "I'll carry your bags up to your rooms", Sarah and Desi said, "we'll help you" as they walked over and helped him carry the bags up the stairs. When they were alone Fran looked at her and said, "thank you", Penelope said, "for what"?, she put her hand on Penelopes and said, "for loving my baby boy".

Penelope smiled and said, "your son is an amazing man, he's so sweet, kind, loving and I don't know what I would have done without him", Fran said, "my son doesn't fall in love easily but he fell head over heels in love with you". Penelope said, "I love your son, he is the best thing that has ever happened to me, he healed my broken heart and helped me to see that I deserved better than Sam".

Fran said, "you do deserve more, you deserve to be happy and when I see you and my son together I know that you are the woman that he needs in his life", Penelope pulled Fran into her arms and hugged her and said, "thank you so much Fran, I really needed to hear that". Fran smiled at her and said, "you are very welcome honey,
very very welcome".
