Surprise Baby Girl-Ch 4
Penelope glanced over her shoulder and saw Derek standing there smiling, she said, "what are you smiling about"?, he said, "you have no idea how much I missed this sight". She said, "ohhhh but I do, because I've missed you to", he walked over and put the food down on the table in front of Penelope and said, "would you like to feed him"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes please".
He sat across from them smiling as she did the airplane with the spoon, the baby gasped in amazement as the plane came into the hanger, Derek said, "you are so good with him". She said, "he's a sweetie", Derek said, "I know that you're hurt and still mad at me but can we please talk"?, she nodded her head and said, "later when he's out for the night we'll talk".
Derek took a deep breath and said, "later it is then", he then laughed as Hank patted her face and squealed, "beeee beeee" before he took another bite, as she sat there feeding the little boy she felt so happy that she had both of her hotstuffs home with her. The next couple of hours flew by as she spent the time laughing and playing with the baby and wondering what else the night would bring.
Derek stood and watched as Penelope carried the sleeping child up the stairs and she gently leaned over and laid him down in the portable crib, she then whispered,
"good night little man, I love you". Derek turned the night light on and turned his sleeping music on and then turned to Penelope and said, "are you ready"?, she nodded her head and said, "ready as I'll ever be".
They walked down the stairs and he said, "how about some coffee or cocoa"?, she said, "ohhhh cocoa please, you know how I love my chocolate", he laughed and said,
"that I do goddess" as they headed into the kitchen. She pulled out a chair and sat down at the table, Derek joined her a few minutes later as he put the two cups of cocoa on the table.
Penelope looked up and said, "you can start", he took a deep breath and said, "I didn't want to leave sweetness, I wanted to stay and be close to you but Savannah got that promotion and she was so excited about moving so I". She said, "you caved in and moved", he nodded his head and said, "sadly yes buttttt not long after we moved I found out that she wasn't their first choice for the promotion and that the doctor that she was working with helped push it through in her favor".
Penelope took a sip of her cocoa as Derek said, "at first I was like that's nice of him to help her like but she started getting home later and later and going in earlier in the morning". She reached out and put her hand on his as he said, "I started noticing things like she would come home and go straight and take a shower before she would come anywhere around me or Hank".
Derek took a sip of cocoa and said, "one night we had a dinner party so that I could get to know some of the people she worked with, well after about an hour I got to noticing that she had disapperaed and so had one of the doctors". Penelope said, "oohhhhh hotstuff", Derek said, "and then when she came back into the room I asked her where she was and she lied and said that she was checking on our son".
Penelope could see the hurt and anger in his eyes as their talk continued for a while longer and then he said, "but that's enough talk about Savannah, I want to hear about you". She said, "Derek I don't know", he said, "please sweetness", she said, "when I found out that you were leaving I was happy for you but sad for me but I figured that you would keep in touch".
Derek intertwined their fingers as she said, "at first we talked alot which I loved but then as time moved on the communication was less and less and my heart broke more and more with each passing day". He said, "I'm so sorry baby girl, the last thing I ever wanted to do was hurt you, I lo", she said, "no no don't say it, please don't say it".
He said, "but why, that's how I feel", he removed his hand from hers and took his finger and put it under her chin and raised it and said, "do you love me the way I love you"?, she said, "Derek now isn't the tim". He said, "Penelope please tell me, yes or no, do you love me the way I love you"?, when she didn't answer he said,
"have I lost you forever, have I lost any chance at a happily ever after with you" and before she could answer he leaned in and pressed his lips against hers in a soft but passionate kiss.
