Surprise Baby Girl-Ch 22
Derek looked across the kitchen table and grinned as he watched Penelope coaxing Hank to eat, when the little boy swallowed a bite he giggled and she tickled his little tummy causing him to squeal out. About an hour later Derek said, "it's bath timeeee", Hank climbed into Penelopes lap and hugged her tight around the neck, Derek said,
"it looks like he's wanting you to go with us".
She said, "well I can't disappoint my little buddy", Derek said, "alright let's go get that bath", when the water was just the right temperature Penelope put him down into the water and after cleaning him up she sat there watching and laughing as he splashed and splashed. Derek said, "alright you two it's hard to tell who had the bath here".
Penelope laughed as she dried off Hank and said, "that daddy's silly isn't he" and as she tickled his little belly he cackled out, Derek kissed his son on the top of the head and said, "good night little man daddy loves you". Hank then laid his head down on Penelopes shoulder and Derek said, "why don't you go ahead and tuck him in and I'll pour us some wine"?, she winked and said, "see ya downstairs when he's down".
Derek then headed out of the room and down the stairs while Penelope and Hank headed into his room, Penelope pulled a book off of the shelf and sat down in the rocking chair and kissed Hank on the top of the head. Derek was getting things ready in front of the fireplace when he heard Penelope reading the story, he sat in awe and he listened at how good she was with him.
Derek then listened as Penelope whispered, "good night little one, I love you so so much", he then heard the night light click and he smiled as he then looked up to see her coming down the stairs. She looked down at the blanket and pillows on the floor and said, "ohhhh hotstuff", he said, "no pressure, I thought that we could just cuddle and talk maybe drink a little wine".
She took the wine into her hand and took a sip and said, "that's delicious", he took her by the hand and led her over to the blanket and after helping her down onto the floor he quickly sat down beside her. The clinked glasses and he said, "here's to the first of many nights together", she grinned and said, "I'll definitley drink to that" as they both took a sip out of their glasses.
Derek stood up and walked over to the stereo and turned it on and turned the volume down just low enough for them to hear, he then walked over and held his hand out and said, "may I have this dance"?, she grinned and put her hand in his and said, "definitely". He helped her up off the floor and intertwined fingers with her as they walked to the center of the room.
He pulled her gently into his arms and took a deep breath as the aroma of her perfume and shampoo filled his senses, Penelope laid her head down on his chest and she sighed happily as they swayed across the room. His hand slid down her back and he started humming to her and when she looked up he smiled and said, "I love you baby girl".
She felt her heart racing as he leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers, he quickly deepened the kiss by thrusting his tongue inside her mouth, their tongues battled for control until they pulled apart reluctantly when the doorbell rang. He rested his head against hers and said, "maybe they'll go away"?, just then whoever it was on the other side of the door started knocking.
Penelope said, "it doesn't look like they are going to go away", he blew out a deep breath and said, "I'll be right back", he walked across the room and opened the door and saw a man in a suit standing there. He said, "are you Derek Morgan"?, he said, "I am", the man handed Derek an envelope and stepped back and simply said, "you've been served".
Penelope walked over and said, "what's wrong"?, he opened the papers and said "she's suing me, she's suing for custody of Hank", Penelope said, "on what grounds"?,
he looked at her and said, "she's claiming that I'm unfit". She took the papers and said, "that's ridiculous you're far from unfit", he wrapped his arms around her and said, "I can't lose him baby girl, I just can't".
She ran her hand up and down his back and said, "you won't, you won't", as she stood there holding the love of her life all she could think of was that Savannah had a lot of nerve calling someone unfit. Penelope said, "hotstuff you need to call Heather", he nodded his head in agreement as he pulled his cell off of his side and walked across the room.
