"What happened to 'we're older, more mature'?" Emily said laughing as Hotch put Emily down inside his apartment.
"We are", he said, wrapping his arms around her. "But with you, I lose myself. No holds barred."
"Aaron", Emily started, but then he smothered her mouth with peppered kisses that had her melting in his arms again.
"Ahem", a voice said from behind them.
Emily spun around and blushed slightly at the slight of Jessica beaming at them and her hand covering Jack's eyes.
"Are they done kissin', Aunt Jess?" Jack said with a giggle.
"For now, Sport", Jessica said, removing her hand.
"Dad!" Jack said, running to him and jumping in his arms.
"Hey Buddy!" Hotch said, ruffling his hair.
"Emmy!" he said, reaching for her as well.
"Jack Attack!" she said, hugging him.
"Hey!" Jack said as her finger got caught on his shirt and he looked at her hand. "No way!"
"Way!" Hotch said, goading him on.
"That's so cool!" Jack said. "Look Aunt Jess! Dad and Emmy are gaged!"
"Engaged, Sport", Jess said. She looked over at Emily and then Hotch. "I'm glad he finally got off his duff and asked you", she said hugging them both.
They stood around talking for a bit and as Jessica was getting ready to leave, Emily stopped her.
"Crazy idea", Emily said.
"I'm listening", Hotch said.
"Do you want a big wedding?" Emily said.
"Only if you do", he said tentatively.
"I don't", Emily said. "If I can get the team together…"
"What are you saying Em?" Jessica said, coming closer to the couple.
"Vegas" she said, looking directly at Hotch.
"Vegas?" Hotch said.
"Vegas." Emily took his hands. "Now."
"And you don't want to wait?" Hotch said.
"For what?" Emily said. "Rossi and Sabrina had the right idea and I love it."
"What about it, Buddy?" Hotch said, leaning down at Jack.
"What's Vegas?" he said.
"A super fun place, with lots of lights. Emmy is suggesting we go there tonight and get married", Hotch said.
"We get to go on a plane?" Jack said.
"Absolutely", Emily said. "Jessica, we want you there too. You're important to me; to us."
Jessica hugged Emily. "I'd be honored."
Emily picked up her phone and sent a mass text message. Hotch picked up his phone and called the pilot.
"At the ready, Love", Hotch said. "What time?"
She looked at her phone. "It's 9 pm now. 10 OK?"
"Perfect", Hotch said.
Emily finished her text and the three went to go pack.
"How long are we going to be gone?" Jessica said.
"Just the weekend. I want to fly back on Sunday evening."
"Sounds good, I'll be back in less than 45 minutes." Jessica hugged Hotch and exited.
Between kisses with Morgan, Garcia heard a small beep.
"Who's that?" Morgan said. "Everyone knows we're, celebrating", he said with a smile.
Garcia picked up her phone, much to Morgan's distaste. "No way!" she said laughing.
"What, Sweetness?" Morgan said, sliding close to her.
"We need to get the hangar right away!" Garcia said excitedly. "Pack for the weekend, Sug!"
"What?" Morgan said. "Woman, stop and tell me what's happening!"
"Hotch and Emily are getting married. Tonight! In Vegas!"
"You're kidding!" Morgan said, following her upstairs to his room. "What are you doing?"
"Packing.", she said. "Start packing. We're meeting them at 10."
"You don't have clothes here", Morgan said. "Do you?"
Garcia smiled sweetly and kissed him lightly on the lips. "Hot Stuff, I've had clothes here for years. Or have you never noticed?"
He followed her over to the closet and in the back was a small dresser that had three drawers. 'How have i never noticed this?' he thought. The top one was her underwear, the bottom two were dresses, pants and shirts.
"I don't know what's turning me on more", Morgan said. "The fact that you're bent over in my closet, or that you have clothes in my closet", he said coming up behind her, lining his pelvis up with her butt.
"Adonis, stop that. We'll be late", she said with a giggle. "Besides, I'm bringing something that will knock your socks off."
"I'm so ready", Morgan said. "OK, lets go!" he said, grabbing his bag.
"You're not going to believe this", JJ said, as Will ran his hand down her arm, and nuzzled her neck, eliciting a soft moan from JJ.
"What? Please don't tell me you have a case. It's the weekend."
"No case", she said. "We need to pack. We're due at the hangar with Henry in less than a hour."
"Why?" Will said, sitting up.
"Emily and Hotch are flying to Vegas to get married. Tonight."
"Whoa", Will said. "Those two don't play around."
"Your phone", Layla said, in between moaning Reid's name.
"I don't care", Reid said, nipping at her tummy as he inched his way lower on her abdomen.
"Baby", she said breathlessly. "But it's your phone."
Reid huffed as he reluctantly got up. "This better be important as hell", he said in an exasperated voice. Layla giggled softly waiting for him to say something more. When he remained silent, she got up off the bed. "What is it, Honey?" she said.
"You are not going to guess, not in a million years", he said, turning to face her with a smile.
"What?" Layla said. "Derek and Penelope ran off to get married in Vegas?"
Reid gazed at her with shock.
"What? I'm right?" Layla said.
"Right thought, wrong couple", Reid said. "Still, I'm impressed."
Layla stood there for a moment processing his last sentence. Her face suddenly lit up. "No!" she said with a smile.
"I guess they couldn't wait", Reid said. "C'mon. We're due at the hangar in, like", he looked at his phone again. "45 minutes."
As the couples made their way to the hangar, Rossi and Sabrina met Hotch and Emily first.
"So this couldn't have waited until morning?" Rossi said.
"He's just grumpy because we didn't finish", Sabrina took a small pause", cleaning the garden."
"Uh huh", Emily said. She smiled and hugged Rossi. "It's important our family be here."
"Where's your mother", Rossi said.
"Pakistan", Emily said. "She sends her congrats."
"Well", Rossi said, hugging her close, "we're always here for you."
"Thanks", Papa Bear", Emily said with a giggle and a genuine tear in her eye.
The rest of the team arrived and they all got loaded on the plane.
"Reid, did you tell your mom you were coming?" Morgan said.
"No. I knew she'd be sleeping", he said with a sideways glance to Emily. He smiled a toothy grin to her.
The plane landed in Vegas with a soft thud and the team exited.
"Alright, happy couple", Garcia said. "What's the plan?"
Emily looked at Hotch who held a sleeping Jack in his arms.
"Um", Hotch said.
"I had a feeling this was going to happen", Rossi said. He got out his phone and made a call.
"Keith Lawson, please", Rossi said, looking up at the impulsive couple and smiled.
"Keith! How are you?" Rossi smiled and then chuckled. "Yes, I know the lateness of the hour. I, I need a favor." Rossi was silent and then burst out in laughter.
"What?" Hotch said.
"He asked me if I was getting married again", Rossi said, covering the phone. He went back to his conversation. "You're about a month late, my friend."
They finished up and Rossi hung up. "All set."
"What?" Emily.
"You're getting married to Prince Charming here in about 45 minutes. We need to get moving."
The team loaded up in separate cars.
"We didn't order cars", Hotch said, as he and Emily piled in with Rossi and Sabrina and Reid and Layla.
"We didn't think of that", Emily said.
"I know", Rossi said. "Do you think this is my first rodeo?" He chuckled softly. "Sit back and relax, Kids. We're about to get you hitched."
About 10 minutes Rossi pulled up in front of the MGM grand Hotel and Casino.
"This is the MGM!" Emily said, excitedly.
"I don't do dinky", Rossi said.
The team valet parked and all entered in. Keith was waiting on them.
"What took you so long?" Keith said, hugging his old friend. He looked to his left. "Is this the Mrs.?"
"Yes, Sir", Rossi said, pulling Sabrina into a side hug. "Sabrina, my old Marine buddy, Keith Lawson."
"My pleasure", Keith said kissing her hand.
"Eh, enough of that", Rossi said, slapping Keith's hand away." He turned to Sabrina. "Be careful of this one", He said, with a chuckle.
"I only have eyes for you", PB", Sabrina said, with a kiss to his lips.
"PB?" Keith said, as they started to follow him inside.
"It means...", Reid started.
"Ahem", Rossi tutted. "He need not know what it means."
Keith ushered them to a large chapel room on the 10th floor.
"The door to the left is for the girls. You'll find everything you need. The right is for the men. Ceremony in 30 minutes." Keith left them alone.
"Rossi this is too much", Emily said.
"Nothing is too good for our Princess", he said. "Just because you guys didn't want to wait, doesn't mean we can't do this in style."
Thirty minutes later, as the Hotch stood at the altar with Jack, Emily walked down the short aisle to a slow jazzy tune. She wore a light and airy creamy white spaghetti strapped dress, and her hair was done up in a bun with soft curls falling at the nape.
When she made it to the altar, Hotch had a small tear threatening to fall. He and Jack were in matching black suits, with white ties.
"Tonight, we're blessed to witness love, fast, but sure", the minister said. He whispered to Hotch. "Dave filled me in."
"Ah", Hotch said with a smile.
"Let's keep the theme going. Do you Emily Prentiss take Aaron Hotchner as your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do", Emily said, smiling brightly.
"Do you Aaron Hotchner take Emily Prentiss as your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do", Hotch said.
The Minster asked them to repeat the wedding vows, making sure that they understood for better or worse and forever.
"Now one more thing", the minster said. He bent down to Jack.
"Do you promise to love Emily and be a good son?" he asked.
Jack swallowed hard. "Of course", she said brightly. "I love her." His voice got softer. "She'd going to be my new mom."
"I love you to, Jack", Emily said, hugging him close. "I promise to be the best mom I can be. But I' m new at this, so you'll have to help me and be a little patient with me. can you do that?"
"Sure", Jack said. "Mom."
"Then", the minster said. "If there be no objections?"
The group collectively shook their heads.
"Then I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss your bride."
Hotch and Emily leaned in for a tender kiss. When the kiss broke, the team cheered, with Jack being the loudest of them all.
"So what do we do now?" Emily said.
"Well, since JJ so graciously agreed to keep Jack for us when we get home, let do some family time now, and later...", Hotch said, wiggling his eyebrows.
"Oh brother", Morgan said.
The team laughed an exited the room and went down to the lobby where admirers were there smiling at them.
"Ok", Sabrina said. "Get together."
They took pictures for about 10 minutes, and Keith took some so Sabrina could get in there. Hotch looked down at his beautiful new wife and kissed her softly. They stood kissing for a few minutes with the teams looking on and chuckling. Ross spoke up.
"Ahem", he said. "Sorry, oh Impatient Ones, but our nights got cut short for this, so um, who's hungry!"
The team all laughed and headed toward the buffet, Jack and Henry running ahead chasing each other in laughter.
*Morcia on deck soon. thanks for the love, ya'll!*
