- We arrive back at the apartment, Penelope,JJ and Penelope are going to get everyone settled and we're going to sneek in and sing Give Thanks. (there's also going to be news coverage appartently)
I get ready and I write Penelope a note so she doesn't freak out.

The news reporter informed me that it was showtime I gathered everyone up at the starting point.
We began by singing Panis Angelicus:
Panis angelicus Fit panis hominum Dat panis caelicus Figuris terminum
O res mirabilis Manducat Dominum Pauper, pauper, servus, et humilis Pauper, pauper, servus, et humilis
Panis angelicus Fit panis hominum Dat panis caelicus Figuris terminum
O res mirabilis Manducat Dominum Pauper, pauper, servus, et humilis Pauper, pauper, servus, servus, et humilis Pauper, pauper, servus, servus, et humilis
We are about 5 blocks away from Penelope's apartment and everyone in the whole neighborhood is walking with us!
We start singing: Here Am I Lord
1. I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if You lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
3. I the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them.
Whom shall I send?
Here I am, Lord. Is it I, Lord?
I have heard You calling in the night.
I will go, Lord, if You lead me.
I will hold your people in my heart.
2. I, the Lord of snow and
rain,
I have borne my people's pain.
I have wept for love of them.
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak my Word to them.
Whom shall I send?
We are close to Penelope's Apartment one of the children sings a solo she sings Amazing Grace (My Chains Are Gone)
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed
My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
The Lord has promised good to me
His word my hope secures
He will my shield and portion be
As long as life endures
My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
My chains are gone, I've been set free
My God, my Savior has ransomed me
And like a flood His mercy reigns
Unending love, amazing grace
The earth shall soon dissolve like snow
The sun forbear to shine
But God who called me here below
Will be forever mine, will be forever mine
You are forever mine
The crowd is going soooo Crazy!
We finally arrive at Penelope's Apartment everyone was outside they were so excited! JJ and her husband Will along with Henry were there Hotch brought his family along with his son Jack. The rest of the team was there. I see David coming towards me and he gave me one of his tight hugs.
Rossi: Everyone can I have your attention please?
Rossi: There is something that this special lady needs to know.
Rossi: Cara, since the day you surprised me at the BAU, my life has been filled with so much light and laughter since that day. You're so beautiful inside and out your heart is like a heart of gold. Your voice is so soothing to my heart, I feel so alive because you are here. You are my angel that God has sent to be with me. Our relationship has grown more into something beautiful, Cassandra Isabelle Romano I love you My life won't be the same without you in I love you so much!
Everyone: Awwwww!
Cassandra: (crying tears of joy) Awww David, I feel the same way! I feel so safe when you are around you've always been my light, I love you! *Hugs Rossi Tightly*
Rossi *holds Cassandra at arms length and gently wipes her tears away*
Rossi: *Leans in and gives Cassandra a gentle and loving kiss on the lips*
Everyone is clapping and cheering and everyone starts singing: Con Te Partiro (while David and Cassandra are still kissing.)
Quando sono solo sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole
si lo so che non c'luce
in una stanza quando manca il sole
se non ci sei tu con me, con me
su le finestre
mostra a tutti il mio cuore
che hai acceso chiudi, dentro me
la luce che hai incontrato per strada
Con te partiro paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso sui li vivro
Con te partiro su navi per mari
che io lo so no, no, non esistono piu
con te io li vivro
Quando sei lontana sogno all'orizzonte
e mancan le parole
e io solo so che sei con me, con me
tu mia luna tu sei qui con me
mio sole tu sei qui con me, con me, con me, con me
Con te partiro
Paesi che non ho mai
veduto e vissuto con te
adesso so li vivro
Con te partiro
su navi per mari che, io lo so
no, no, non esistono pio
con te io li rivivo
Con te partiro
su navi per mari che, io lo so
no, no, non esistono pio
con te io li rivivro
Con te partiro...
Io con te!

Cassnadra *Kisses Rossi back*
Hotch and Morgan: Hey you two! Get a room!
Everyone laughs and cheers for joy
Emily: *turns on the radio Cassandra's favorite song is on*
Come sei bella più bella stasera Mariù
Splende un sorriso di stella negli occhi tuoi blu
Anche se avverso il destino domani sarà,
Oggi ti sono vicino perchè sospirar, non pensar.
Parlami d'amore Mariù
Tutta la mia vita sei tu
Gli occhi tuoi belli brillano
Fiamme di sogno scintillano.
Dimmi che illusione non è
Dimmi che sei tutta per me
Qui sul tuo cuor non soffro più
Parlami d'amore Mariù.
Parlami d'amore Mariù
David and Cassandra danced the night away, while everyone stared in awe everyone was happy for them.
