Chapter 7

Two Years Later

Walking down the hall, taking a minute to have a momentary look at his peacefully sleeping daughter, kissing her dazzling little nose to wake her up and finally getting a morning kiss from her is one of Reid's favorite routines. Upon receiving a kiss from Reid, Elean still couldn't kick herself out of her slumber.

For a second time, as he kissed her forehead, Reid said "Baby, you have to wake. We have a long day ahead of us,"

"Wanna sleep," Elena mumbled softly

"I know, but do you remember what day is today?" Reid questioned he tucked her hair behind her ears

Elena opened her beautiful brown eyes, thought for a second and then she grinned "Uncle Derek is getting married today,"

"Yes, and my dear ring bearer, we can't be late today, so, come on, wake up and give Daddy a kiss" Reid said as he opened his arms

Elena yawned before she jumped into Reid's lap. As she wrapped her tiny arms around Reid' neck, she gave him a loving kiss.

"Spencer, your suit is ready," Sam said as she walked in "Oh, look, my sweet little daughter is awake," Sam walked in and kissed Elena's forehead "Come on, love. Let's get you cleaned up and Daddy can get ready,"

Reid walked into Elena's room a while later wearing his brand new tuxedo. He couldn't help but to smile wider when he saw Elena dressed in a stunning white dress. Upon realizing her daddy's presences, her little girl ran up to him, slightly lifting her dress, Elean danced in circles in front of him. "Daddy, look!"

Reid lifted her up 'You look beautiful," Turning to her wife, "Go and dress up, I will take care of the rest,"

"Okay," She whispered and when she was half away from her husband when Sam's phone rang "What can I do for the groom?"

"Sam," Derek 's voice was heard "Is Reid there with you?"

"Yeah, but he is with Elena. You need anything?"

"Can you make sure my best man gets here in time? I am kind of freaking out," Morgan said

Sam laughed "For a kick ass FBI agent, saying 'I do' should be a piece of cake,"

"Ha ha," Morgan made up a laugh "Funny! I am serious, Sam"

As Samantha was getting ready, she said "Come on, Derek! You will be fine. You are an awesome friend, caring godfather, so, you are going to be a wonderful husband and maybe in some time, a loving father,"

"Thanks?" Morgan answered in uncertain

"Don't forget, you are the one who proposed her," Sam reminded

"I know. Maybe I just nervous,"

"Well, I would say that you are excited. I got to go. I will send you, your best man and my sweet daughter who can make you smile. I will see you in church, okay?"

"Roger that. Bye, Sugar,"

Sam rushed to her kitchen when she was ready. Reid was near the dinning table, feeding Elena.

"I got seven missed calls from Morgan," said Reid without looking at Sam

"He is freaking out. You should take Elena with you. She would certainly calm him down," Sam said as she grabbed a bread

"I should…" Reid stopped in the middle when he saw her. Dressed in a white dress, with her long curled hair touching her shoulders , Sam was unquestionably stunning.

"You look gorgeous," Reid complimented

Samantha blushed but was taken aback when she saw the time "We are getting late! I will be with the bride. See you in church and thanks," Sam said before she kissed both Reid and Elena and dashed out of the house

Reid fetched Morgan from his house and shortly they reached the church. Garcia, happily welcomed both of them "Oh, look at my princess!" Garcia picked Elena up and kissed her forehead

Once they were settled in Morgan room, Morgan asked "Any advice for me?"

"You are asking me?" Reid confirmed

"Why not? You are married for almost three years, has a two year old daughter and despite our job, you have a loving family,"

"Okay," Reid stood straight facing Morgan "Marriage is not just about loving somebody, it's about commitment and a lot of give and takes. Sam and I, we do have our arguments, but we used it to understand each other. It is all about your heart, Morgan. Let me ask you something,"

"Anything,"

"Do you love her?"

'Of course,"

"Do you think you can live a day without her?"

"Honestly, no,"

"Will you let her slip out of your hands?"

"Obviously, no"

"Then, you are ready to get married, Derek Morgan," Reid concluded with a smile

Just at the moment, Hotch barged in "Okay, we are ready when you are, Morgan,"

"It's your day, Morgan. Just enjoy it. Remember, you don't get married every day,"

Morgan smiled "But there is one thing I never expected though,"

"What?" Reid asked as he helped Morgan with his suit

"You and me, finally a family, a real family," Morgan said

Reid opened the door and walked behind Morgan. Indeed, that was something even Reid didn't imagine. The fact that Morgan would finally settle down with a girl was not the shocker but with whom was the main bombshell. Of all girls in the world, it was Samantha's sister, Deleena.

Deleena stood in front of the mirror, she was anxious. Finally, deciding that she do look nice, she turned back to her sister and smiled when she saw her little sister, wiping the sweats off Elena's forehead

"Something that I never thought I would see,"

"Why?" Sam asked

"I don't know, you used have a lot dreams but you practically gave up everything and settle down as a housewife,"

"I am satisfied with guest lectures and public talks in NGO's. Yes, I gave up some of my dreams but look at what did I get back, a loving husband who would risk the world for me, a loving daughter and a peaceful life, just like the way I wanted" Sam said

"Hey, girls," Emily called "Be ready, it's on,"

As the music started, the ceremony began. Each moment hold such as beautiful significant. Everyone couldn't stop smiling and of course, Reid couldn't help but steal a glance of his wife. Standing beside Morgan as his best man, Reid's thoughts loped back when Samantha walked down the aisle.

Finally, with "I do' from both sides, the priest pronounced Derek and Deleena as husband and wife. The ceremony continued with everyone enjoying their lunch and some would walk forward and congratulate the newlyweds. Reid took a minute to look at the scenes in front of him. JJ and Will was helping the guests with the food while Beth and Hotch was chatting with the newly weds. Rossi was in conversation with Strauss. Finally, Emily has agreed to introduce the guy she has been dating with, Alex, if Reid is not mistaken. Garcia and Kevin were busy entertaining guests. Morgan's family was enjoying their lunch with Mark and Racheal. Reid mother's, Diana is in another corner with her husband and Elena on her lap, immersed in chatting. Jack and Henry were running around with other kids.

"Hey," Samantha surprised him "What's up?"

"Nothing," Reid said as he pulled her, closer to him "Today is a wonderful day and did I tell how much do I love you?"

"That is something I know by heart but it is always amazing to hear it from you," Samantha said as she wrapped her hands around his waist.

"I love you more than anything," Reid whispered close to her ears and kissed the side of her head

"Mommy," Elena came running, stretching her arms. Samatha picked her up and Reid kissed her forehead "Can I have another piece of chocolate cake?"

"Honey, you already have two," Sam argued

"Can I have your attention, please?" Morgan spoke loud "My wife and I would like to thank everyone, especially, my family and my in laws, BAU team, and of course, Reid and his wife. I never thought I would get married and wow, I am married. So, thank you, everyone,"

Almost all the audience laughed and clapped their hands.

"I have something to say," Samantha spoke "I happy for you sis, and my dear brother in law, you make my sister cry, I have to face me," Deleena kissed Sam a flying kiss and silently mumbled 'I love you'

"What if she makes me cry?" Morgan asked and made the whole crowd laugh another time

Reid, carrying Elena around his hip "We have something else to say. We didn't mean to hide it but was just looking for a good time to reveal it. I know it is always hard to handle me, so I hope eight months, three weeks and four days, is enough time for you guys to be ready to face another Reid,"

Samantha punched Reid playfully around his shoulders, turned around to the confused crowd and said "I am pregnant…,"
