Surprise Baby Girl-Ch 24
Heather walked back over to Penelope said, "I just got approval for you to do your thing", Penelope jumped up and walked over and grabbed her computer from her bag and carried it over to the table. Derek said, "I'm so glad that you are the tech goddess", she winked at him and said, "I never leave home with my computer", he kissed her lips gently and said, "that's just another reason I love you".
Chris and Heather watched as Penelopes hands flew across the screen and after a few minutes she pulled up the footage and they all sat there watching it from the time they walked into the bar up until the time they left. Heather pointed to the screen and said, "and if you look rightttttt there you can clearly see Savannah standing in the back of the bar filming everything".
Derek said, "and you can watch as she stops filming and then waittttt is she", Penelope said, "she's leaving with Chad", Heather said, "is there any chance that they have been working on this together from the start"?, Derek said, "with Savannah anything's possible". Penelope said, "I feel so cheap, so dirty". Derek put his hand on her shoulder and said, "you didn't do anything wrong sweetness, this is all on Savannah and Chad".
Penelope said, "I let him into my life, I slept with him Derek and probably this entire time he's been sleeping with me and Savannah both", Derek pulled her into his arms and held her close as she broke down. Heather looked at Chris and said, "get me the judges office on the phone, I want to try to get an emergency hearing and the sooner the better".
Chris nodded her head and said, "on it" as she pulled her cell out of her pocket and started making calls, Heather then looked at Penelope and Derek and said, "don't worry we will get both Savannah and Chad for what they are doing". Derek said, "the only thing that matters is that we get my son", Heather smiled and said, "I can see why Penelope is in love with you".
Penelope smiled and said, "I've been in love with him since the day he called me by the wrong name", Heather then listened as Derek and Penelope spent the next few minutes filling her in on their special friendship that blossomed into love. They were all three laughing with Chris walked back into the room and said, "we got it,
we got the emergency hearing".
Heather said, "that's great, when"?, Chris said, "first thing in the morning", Derek said, "who will be there"?, Heather said, "us, Savannah, Chad, the judge and the other court staff". Penelope said, "what's going to happen"?, Heather said, "the reason that Chad is going to be there is I'm going to call him as a witness and I'm going to let him lie to the judge before I show the complete footage from the survelience cameras".
Derek said, "so hopefully tomorrow this will all be settled"?, she nodded her head and said, "hopefully, because the time I'm through Savannah is going to be lucky if she doesn't go to jail". Derek smiled and said, "as long as we get my son and I never have to see Savannah again that's all that matters", Penelope sighed and said,
"now we get some sleep but be sure that you're both at the courthouse before 8:00".
Derek walked Heather and Chris to the door and said, "don't worry we'll be there", after watching them get to their cars he shut the door and walked back inside to his baby girl. Penelope was looking out the backdoor wondering how she could have been so stupid, how could she have let someone like Chad into her life and that is when she felt to strong arms wrapping around her.
She took a deep breath and said, "I'm an idiot", he kissed the top of her head and said, "I don't want to hear you talking about the woman I love that way, she is one of the smartest, most loving women I have ever met". She reached up and wiped away the tears that were streaming down her face and said, "he used me, he slept with me and at the same time was sleeping with Savannah, Savannah Derek".
He turned her around in his arms and said, "why don't we lock up and then head to bed", she said, "w w will you hold me tonight"?, he kissed her lips gently and said,
"most definitley sweetness". A few minutes later they were both laying in Dereks bed wrapped in each others arms as they finally dozed off to sleep both hoping that the next day brought the one thing they both needed, closure.
