Derek Or Luke-Ch 12
Penelope was sitting at her computers working the next day when she heard a knock at her office door, she said, "come in" and continued working on her searches. She stopped typing when she heard Hank say, "Newlopeeeeeee", she turned around and said, "Hankkkkk" as she opened her arms, catching the little boy in mid air as he jumped into her arms.
He giggled as Penelope kissed his cheeks and said, "I've missed you", he wrapped his little arms around her and said, "hiiiiiiiiiii Newlopeeeee", she said, "hi yourself handsome, how have you been, have you been good"?, he nodded his head and said, "uh huhhhhhh". Derek stood in the door with a huge smile on his face as he watched the two of them catch up, he hadn't seen her in a few months but Derek made sure that he never forgot her, he talked about Penelope everyday and showed him pictures and movies of the rest of their family.
Penelope looked up and said, "come in sugar shack", Derek stepped forward and said, "I hope it's alright bringing him in without calling"?, she said, "of course it is, I'm happy to see him any time". He said, "what about me sweetness, are you happy to see me"?, she blushed and bit down on her bottom lip and said, "always angelfish, always".
Hank was all smiles as Penelope rocked him in her arms, Derek pulled out his cell and snapped a few pictures, him and Penelope were talking when their attention turned to the door when they heard another knock. Derek opened the door and saw Luke standing there, he said, "come on in man, baby girl was just spending some time with Hank", Luke smiled and said, "so this is the Hank that everybody is talking about"?, Penelope said, "the one and only".
Luke stepped closer and got down on his knees and said, "hi Hank, I'm Luke", Hank smiled and said, "hiiiiii Wuke", Derek grinned and said, "well buddy we better go and let Penelope talk to Luke". Hank jumped into her arms and shook his head no and Penelope said, "it's okay buddy I'll be seeing you soon", he stuck out his little bottom lip and she said, "ohhhh no no no please don't cry".
Derek walked over and said, "buddy it's alright baby girl isn't going anywhere, you'll see her again real soon", he looked up at his daddy and said, "pomise'?, Derek rubbed the top of his sons head and said, "daddy promises". Penelope hugged Hank and said, "bye baby, I love you", Hank giggled and said, "byeeeeeeeeeeeeee lub you", Derek held out his hand and Hank put his little hand in his daddys as they headed out of the room leaving Penelope and Luke alone to talk.
Penelope sighed and said, "I've missed that little boy so much", Luke said, "he's adorable, how old is he"?, she said, "almost 3 and it just seems like yesterday when he was born". He smiled and said, "if you want we can talk about our date later"?, she said, "it's okay, soooo what do you want to do tonight"?, he said, "I was thinking about dinner and maybe some salsa dancing, that is if you're up to it".
She said, "ohhhhh is that a challenge mister"?, he held up his hands and said, "hang on chica", she said, "you did not just call me chica"?, he said, "ohhhh but I did" causing them both to laugh. He said, "so how does my plan sound"?, she said, "sounds good, what time do you want me ready"?, he said, "our reservation is at 7:00 sooooooo how about I pick you up at 6:00 that way we can talk and spend some time alone before dinner".
Penelope said, "sounds good Luke, I'll see you at 6:00", he caressed her cheek and said, "that you will", he turned around and walked back over to the door and then turned and quickly said, "chica" and ran out of the room laughing". She said, "ohhhh you're going to pay for that one Luke", the last thing she heard was him saying, "promises promises" as he disappeared at the end of the hall.
After the searches were over Penelope headed to the lounge to get another cup of coffee and when she got to the door she saw Derek, Hank and Reid sitting at a table eating ice cream. She walked in and Hank smiled and said, "Newlopeeeeeee" as he jumped down from the table and ran across the room toward her, Derek watched as she picked up the little boy and kissed him on the forehead and said, "is that ice cream good"?, he nodded his little head yes as she wiped the leftovers off of his little face.
Derek said, "want some baby girl, it's your favoriteeeeee, it's chocolateeeeee", she winked at him and said, "now hotstuff you know that you're all the chocolate that I'll ever need". He said, "I'm counting on that goddess", she then carried Hank back over to the table and sat down holding him in her lap while he finished his ice cream.
Derek couldn't help but smile as he watched Penelope and Hank together and thought, "this is the way it's suppose to be, me, baby girl and Hank together, one big happy family". He then sat back and sighed happily as he took another bite of his chocolate ice cream and watching as Hank started feeding a few bites of his ice cream to Penelope, as he watched them together he couldn't help but hope that one day soon they would be a real family, a mommy, a daddy and Hank, because that's the way it was always suppose to be.
