It Can't Be-Ch 30

The Epilogue

The family headed to the waiting room while Derek and Penelope headed straight to the delivery room, Derek held her hand and talked her through contraction after contraction as she pushed and pushed to bring their child into the world. She collapsed against the pillows and said, "how much longer, how much longer"?, the doctor smiled and said, "I can see the top of the babies head so it won't be long now".

Penelope said, "ohhhhhhhhhh here comes another one" as she raised up and grabbed Derek by the hand, he held her hand and told her how much he loved her. As the contraction ended she said, "I love you to hotstuff, I love you to" as she rested against the pillows as the contraction ended.

A few contractions later the doctor looked at her and said, "on the next contraction the baby will here so I need you to push until I tell you to stop or you hear the baby cry, okay"?, she said, "okay" as she felt the contraction hitting. She grabbed Dereks hand and said, "here we goooooooooo" as she pushed and pushed and pushed until she heard the cries of her newborn child.

Derek smiled and said, "you did it baby girl, you did it", Penelope said, "is the baby okay"?, the doctor said, "she's perfect, simply perfect", as she held the crying bundle up so her parents could see her. Derek said, "ohhhh look at that, we did that, she's part me and part you" and Penelope said, "and all perfect" as tears of joy streamed down her face.

The doctor said, "I need to give her to the nurses and let them get her cleaned up and when I get you sewed up we'll take you both upstairs to your room where the rest of your family cane see you and the newest addition". Penelope looked at Derek and then they looked at their daughter and smiled as they watched the nurses walk crying baby out of the room.

About an hour later the family led by Hank walked through her door, Penelope looked up and said, "hey buddy, come and meet your little sister", Derek picked him up and said, "be easy with her buddy, be realllllll easy". Hank said, "she widdle", Derek said, "you were this little when you were born to"?, he looked at his daddy and wrinkled his nose and said, "weally"?, Derek tapped the end of his sons nose and said, "yes really" as the rest of the family gathered close to see the newest member of their family.

Fran said, "ohhhh honey she's gorgeous", Dave said, "how are you feeling kitten"?, she said, "exhausted but happy papa bear, so so happy" as she kissed the top of her daughters head. Reid said, "have you two decided on a name for my niece"?, Penelope said, "we have boy wonder we have".

Sarah said, "welllllllll don't keep us in suspense", Derek laughed and said, "everybody we'd like for you to meet Angela Francine Morgan Angel for short". Fran said, "ohhhhh I'm so honored, so so honored", Penelope said, "would you like to hold your granddaughter"?, Fran nodded her head and said, "I would, I would" as Penelope gently slid the baby into her arms.

Derek sat down on the bed with Penelope and Hank and watched as his mom kissed the chubby cheeks of his daughter and said, "hi there Angel I'm your nana Fran and I'm going to spoil you rotten". Reid said, "so are we little one, so are we", Emily said, "no doubt about that", JJ said, "nope none whatsoever" as everybody nodded their heads yes in agreement.

As Derek sat there looking around at all of the smiling faces he sighed happily and knew that without a shadow of a doubt he was the luckiest man in the world. He kissed his wifes lips and said, "I love you", she laid her head on his shoulder and said, "I love you to handsome, I love you to",
