Surprise Baby Girl-Ch 3
Penelope pulled away and said, "I can't do this" and walked over and sat down, Derek was right on her heels and said, "why baby, we belong together", she shook her head and said, "you go months and don't call, or write or anything and then here out of the blue you come home and you think that I'm just gonna jump into bed with you"?, he said, "no that's not wh" she said, "save it Derek, I'm not going to be your rebound girl".
He stood up and said, "you're not my rebound girl, you're the girl that I should have picked", she said, "should of but didn't", he said, "and I can't regret it at all because if I did I wouldn't have that miracle sleeping upstairs". She took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to go and we'll talk again anothe time", he gently grabbed he and said, "no, I need you to stay here and hear me out".
Penelope pulled out of his grip and said, "can't you see what you're doing to me"?, he said, "I can't lose you baby girl, not now, not again", she said, "there is no us Derek, no you and me, not after you got married and moved away and broke contact with me". She turned around and grabbed he purse and started once again toward the door.
She stopped when Derek said, "I love you Penelope", she dropped her hand from the knob and listened as she heard his footsteps walking closer and closer and then she felt his hands touching her shoulders. He turned her around and said, "I love you Penelope, please stay and talk to me", she said, "this is killing me Derek and right now I just can" and the conversation ended when they heard the baby crying through the monitor.
He said, "please don't go, please stay and spend some time with Hank", she nodded her head and said, "alright" and then she watched him as he disappeared at the top of the stairs. She paced back and forth across the room until something caught her attention, she walked over and picked up some papers and read what was written at the top.
She jumped when Derek said, "I'm filing divorce papers and suing for sole custody of Hank", she turned around and said, "I I I", he said, "we'll talk about this later,
right now would you like to hold him"?, she smiled and said, "I'd love to". As she reached out to him he stareted kicking and saying, "bee bee", Penelope said, "what is he saying"?, Derek said, "he's saying baby baby, like in baby girl".
Penelope held the little bundle in her arms and said, "I've missed you so much", the baby cackled out and Derek said, "he's missed you to", Derek looked at her and said, "I talk to him about you everyday and when I mention your name he just lights up, it's amazing". Penelope smlied and said, "there isn't a day that goes by that I don't think about you and this little man right here".
Derek said, "do you love me"?, she said, "that's not fair", he put his finger under her chin and pulled it up and said, "you'll be more talkative with him in your lap than if we were alone". She kissed the baby on the top of the head and sighed as Derek asked again, "do you love me"?, she said, "yes alright, yes I love you,
are you happy"?, he smiled and said, "I sure am because I love you to".
The baby started patting her face and she said, "do the others know that you're here"?, he said, "no, I wanted it to just be the three of us tonight", she nodded her head and said, "ahhhhhh". Derek said, "I came home for you", she said, "for me"?, he said, "I've missed you sweetness and I wanted to be hee with you and you do have a birthday coming up in a few days sooooo here we are".
she laughed and said, "you two are the best presents I could ask for", Derek laughed when the baby said, "bee bee", Penelope said, "that's me baby girl, can you say baby girl"?, the little boy clapped his hands and said, "bee beeeeeeee". Derek said, "see how excited he is, he's like this every time I mention your name in front of him".
Penelope said, "you are so handsome, yes you are", Derek listened as Penelope said, "you look just like your daddy, uh huh, yes you do", the little boy rubbed his eyes and nose and said, "beeeeeeee beeeeeee". Derek said, "can you hold him while I fix him something to eat"?, she nodded her head and said, "definitely" and then she watched as he headed out of the room.
Penelope said, "I love your daddy, I love him with all my heart and you know what, I love you to, you are the sprinkles on the top of my ice cream", the baby looked at her and smiled showing his few teeth. She said, "ohhhh look at all of those little spark plugs in there", Derek walked into the room carrying his food but he then stopped in the door and watched as Penelope spent a few minutes bonding with his son.
