Derek Or Luke-Ch 22

When they pulled apart Derek said, "have you got any plans for tonight, since our date was interrupted I'd like another one", she smiled and said, "can't tonight sugar got plans". He said, "ahhhhh, got plans with Luke"?, she said, "uhhhh no, got plans with the girls, we're having a girls night in tonight", he smiled and said, "ahhhhh okay that sounds like fun".

She put her finger in the center of his chest and said, "ohhhh no you don't mister", he picked her hand up and kissed her finger and said, "can I ask you something"?, she said, "uh huh". He said, "did I scare you away"?, she said, "no, what would make you think that"?, he said, "well with everything that's happened between us in the past and then I come back and want us to be together and then show you our house".

She said, "I love the house, it's everything I've ever dreamed of and no you haven't scared me off", he said, "sooooooooo when are you going to stop going out with Luke and be mine"?, she opened her mouth to speak and somebody knocked on her door. She swallowed hard and thought to herself, "saved by the knock" as she said, "come in".

The door opened to reveal the smiling faces of JJ and Emily, JJ said, "are you ready to go"?, Penelope said, "yep, I'm ready girlies", the trio of girls all giggled and waved at Derek as they stepped out into the hall. Derek said, "baby girl"?, she said, "yes handsome"?, he said, "I know you have plans with Luke for Friday night butttttt how about you and I go out tomorrow night, well if we don't have a case".

Penelope said, "sounds good, we'll make plans tomorrow", he winked at her and said, "count on it beautiful", Emily said, "byeeeee Morgan" as they looped arms with Penelope and headed toward the elevator. Derek watched as the love of his life stepped onto the elevator he couldn't help but smile at her hoping that one day soon she was going to agree to be his wife.

Just as Derek headed back to his office he ran into Luke who said, "remember what I said, I'm not going to let you hurt her", Derek said, "listen Luke, I'm not going to do anything to hurt her, she's the other part of me and you or nobody else is going to change that". Luke grinned and said, "whatever helps you sleep at night Morgan" as he turned around and headed back toward his desk to finish his paperwork.

Derek walked into his office and shut the door, he headed to his desk, he pulled out his top drawer and pulled out a picture of Hank and said, "no matter what I have to do I'll make sure that you're safe and away from Savannah". He rubbed his temples as memories of an incident with Savannah filled his memory.

Flashback:

Derek walks into the house and as he's laying his keys down he hears Hank crying, he runs upstairs and when he gets to the door he sees Savannah holding him hard by the arms. He walks over and takes his son and says, "what are you doing, are you crazy"?, she says, "what do you care, you're never home, you're always out working on that stupid truck".

Derek runs his hand up and down his sons back and says, "it's okay buddy daddy's here, daddy's here", after a few minutes Hank falls back to sleep and he puts him down in the bed. He then motions to Savannah and she follows him back downstairs, he paces back and forth in front of the fireplace, trying to calm down when she says, "wellllll, you wanted to talk so talk".

She sat down on the couch and listened as Derek said, "that's it Savannah, I've had enough, I want you to pack your things and get out", she laughs and says, "you're kidding right, this is my house to". Derek reaches into his pocket and pulls out a piece of paper and says, "I'm totally serious, between your cheating and your treatment of my son and me I want you out".

Savannah stood up and rubbed her stomach and says, "you won't get away with this, you won't keep my son away from me", he says, "ohhhh trust me I will, now go". She turned around and headed toward the door and said, "don't worry, anything I want he'll get me" and turned around and slammed the door, leaving a very relieved Derek behind.

End Of Flashback:

Derek sighs and says, "daddy loves you buddy and no matter what I have to do I'm going to make sure that you're safe, safe and happy", he then puts the picture down on the top of his desk and starts his paperwork because he had been away from his son for almost a week and he couldn't wait for a little father/son bonding time.
