AN: Thank you all for always sticking by me. I can't believe this story has come to an end. It's so funny to me. I've had this one part from the moment I thought of the story, it was what drove me to write this story. Like I said before, it's short. But this whole story came together because of this one part. I honestly can't believe it's done. Thank you all for the support. You all melt my heart!
Epilogue
One Week Later
Penelope sat on their bed looking at her softly rounded stomach. Anytime she actually took a few moments to let it sink in, she'd be over joyed. She placed her hand on her belly and closed her eyes. She really couldn't ask for more. Her life was perfect. She was married to the man of her dreams and was carrying his baby.
"There you are!"
Penelope opened her eyes to see Derek walking into the bedroom with a box in his hand. "What cha got there, hot stuff?"
Smiling Derek placed the box on the bed. "Something really special for my wife."
Curiosity go the better of her. She shot up and crawled over to it. Before opening the box, Derek placed his hand on top of it. She looked up and cocked her head to the side waiting for him to speak. "I love you, Baby Girl." He leaned down kissing her on the lips.
"I love you, too, my handsome hero."
"I'm nobody's hero."
"You're mine." She laughed before she pushed his hand away. "Now gimme!"
Derek chuckled as he stepped back and let her open the box. She tore through it. When she saw what was inside, her heart stopped. "Oh my god," she whispered. With shaky hands, Penelope pulled out a mahogany showdown box. Inside the box, was one of her devil heels. Her heart skipped a beat when she saw what else was in there. Right next to the heels there was also the piece of her cast that had Derek's proposal on it. "Oh, Derek."
He cleared his throat before sitting on the bed next to her. "This heel started us on the new journey that brought us to that exact moment." He pointed to the cast piece. "I wanted to do something that reminded us of that every time we looked at it."
"It's beautiful," she whispered as tears filled her eyes.
"No, I didn't do it for you to cry. Don't cry, mama." Derek took the shadow box from her hands pacing it on the bed before pulling her into his arms.
"I can't help it," she sobbed.
"Shh." He started rubbing her back.
"I just love you so much. And I can't stop crying. This dang baby makes me cry all the time. So, get used to it. Especially, if you want to keep knocking me up one after the other. I'll always be crying." She curled into his chest.
Derek laughed. "I love you, silly girl."
"I love you too, baby boy."
Derek squeezed her one last time before standing up. He picked up the shadow box and hung it on the middle of the wall.
"Why was there already a hook there?" Penelope asked, as she wiped away her tears.
"I put the hook in the other day." He shrugged. "I wanted to have it where we can always see it." He adjusted the box to make sure it was straight.
Penelope looked at the box and then back to him before she burst out in tears all over again. Derek wasted no time before he ran to her. "My silly crying girl." He kissed the top of her head before putting a hand on her belly. "Little one, you're gonna end up causing your mama hell."
"No, they're not. It's you," Penelope said. "You're the one that keeps doing the sweetest things in the world. How did I get so lucky?"
"Not as luck as me." He kissed her again.
"I love you, Derek Morgan, so very much."
"I love you, too, Penelope Morgan." He bent over and kissed her belly. "And I love you, little one."
