Confession Is Good For The Soul Ch 13
Over the next few months Derek and Penelope adjusted to their new lives together as husband as they balanced their home and work lives amazingly well considering the kind of work that they did. The team was staying extremely busy with them going on case after case after case, sometimes being gone for weeks at a time, but, when they were home Derek and Penelope was spending every minute that they could possibly spend alone making up for lost time.
Derek and Penelope had now been married almost 3 months and couldn't have been happier, they were currently all on downtime because they had been gone on a case that lasted almost 3 weeks and this time Penelope got to go which made the case easier on Derek since she was with him, that meant that he didn't have to miss her as bad.
The morning started off as normally as it always did, Penelope got up, showered, got dressed and made her way downstairs to see her husband fixing them breakfast, now fixing breakfast was something that he normally done for her. It was a way for him to show how much he loved her and he always took great pride in cooking for his goddess, he had planned to surprise her in bed but when he turned to grab the tray to put her plate on she was standing there propped up in the doorway.
He said, "I was just on my way up with your breakfast", she took a few steps and smiled, then suddenly a wave of nausea hit her, she stopped and he said, "what's wrong, are you okay?", she nodded her head yes but then quickly covered her mouth with her hand and ran to one of the downstairs bathrooms with him right on her heels.
When he got to the bathroom he saw her on the floor hovering over the toilet emptying the contents of her stomach into said toilet, he wet a cloth and dropped down to the floor beside her, he pulled her hair back out of her way and rubbed her back as a way to try to soothe her any way possible.
After a few minutes she was able to sit down on the floor, he handed her the cool cloth, she wiped her face and said, "thanks hotstuff", he said, "no problem gorgeous, are you okay now?", she said, "I'm feeling much better now". He sat down beside her and said, "are you sure that you're okay?", she said, "yep, but, can you do me a favor?", he nodded his head and said, "sure, name it".
She looked at him and said, "can you go to the pharmacy and pick me up a few home pregnancy tests?", his mouth flew open and he smiled and said, "really, do you really think that you're pregnant?", she said, "it's a huge possibility, we've been married over 3 months and I haven't had a period in over 2 sooooooooo that's what I'm thinking".
He got up on his knees and kissed the top of her head and said, "I'll be right back, just stay here okay?", she said, "not a problem angelfish, not a problem" as she laid her head back against the tub. Derek got up, grabbed his keys and headed out the front door, as he walked toward his truck he couldn't help but smile, was it true, was she pregnant, was she pregnant with their first child, was he truly going to be a father", all of those questions were buzzing around in his head.
A few minutes later he walked back into the bathroom with a bag containing 4 pregnancy tests, all different brands but all with the same directions, soooooo after doing what she had to do they were now waiting the 5 minutes that the tests said to wait. Derek sat there on the side of the bed holding her hand and hoping that she is pregnant, he can't wait to start a family with her and the more kids he has with her the better because he wants a house filled with beautiful babies that share her DNA.
When the timer went off she said, "I'll be right back", he nodded his head and watched as she got up and made her way across the bedroom and stepped into the bathroom and as she walked over to the sink she said, "pleaseeeeee be pregnant, please be pregnant" and when she got to the counter she looked down at the tests.
She picked the first one up, then the second and so on and so on, all saying the same thing, she grabbed the tests and headed through to talk to her husband, when he saw her walk into the room he couldn't read her, he couldn't tell from looking at her what the results of the tests said.
Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "I have a confession to make", Derek looked at her and said, "c c confession, what confession?", she smiled and said, "we're pregnant and according to these two tests here I'm 10 weeks pregnant". Derek stood up and walked over to her, pulled her into his arms and kissed her passionately, when he pulled back he slid his hand down onto her stomach and said, "really, we're really going to have a baby?", she nodded her head and said, "it looks like it".
Derek said, "hello in there little one, I'm your daddy and even though I just found out about you I love you so so much and I can't wait to meet you in a few months", she put her hand on top of his and said, "how about we get the others over here for dinner tonight, we could have a cookout, we haven't had one in a while?", he said, "good idea, then we can tell the family about the baby", she kissed his lips and nodded her head and said, "I agree, I can't wait to see the look on their faces when they find out I'm pregnant".
Derek picked her up bridal style and carried her over to the bed and laid her down, he then climbed on the bed with her, she said, "what are you doing?", he wiggled his eyebrows and said, "celebrating, what else", she laughed and said, "well then, by all means carry on, carry on", they both laughed but the laughter stopped as soon as he kissed her, one kiss turned to two and two too four as they started making slow, passionate love to celebrate the news that they were going to become parents and usher in the next generation of Morgan children.
