Chapter 11: I Can't Believe It!

The next morning BAU Headquarters…

"So it appears that both Morgan and Garcia are playing hooky today," JJ informed both Emily and Reid as she walked over to them.

Reid didn't really respond because unlike the two of them he didn't really care. Therefore as the two women tried to figure out why Morgan and Garcia weren't at work he just continued reading.

"Weren't they fighting before we left? Maybe they're still working things out," Reid heard Emily say.

""Yeah but Morgan was all cheerful when we left so I though they already had," JJ argued.

"Okay you're right and that means I probably don't want to know what they're doing," Emily finally agreed.

JJ gave a nod before heading back to her office.

Later that morning…

Unbeknownst to everyone Morgan and Garcia weren't at home still in bed like they assumed; instead they been up and busy going through with plans to get married. By eleven o'clock they'd purchased both rings and the marriage license. Basically all they had left to do now was head to the courthouse and go through with the actual ceremony.

"You ready to do this," Morgan asked when they came to a stop outside the courthouse.

Garcia just nodded because her happiness had currently rendered her speechless.

Morgan smiled as they walked into the courthouse where Judge Hastings was waiting for them. "He's an old friend of mine," Garcia had said earlier this morning when she'd made the phone call, "I know he'll do it without asking too many questions.

"It's good to see you, Penelope," The judge said minutes later when they were in his chambers.

"You too, Charles," Morgan heard Garcia say as she hugged the man that had agreed to marry them. She then proceeded to introduce the two men by saying, "This is Derek and Derek this is and old friend of my mom's."

"Thank you or doing this on such short notice, Your honor," Morgan said as he and Judge Hastings shook hands.

"No problem, I'd do anything for this one here," Was the Judge's reply.

He then cleared his throat before saying, "Alright are you two ready to get this over with.

They both nodded in response and then the brief ceremony began.

"Do you Penelope Marie Garcia; take Derek William Morgan to be your lawfully wedded husband. In sickness and in health till death do you part," The judge asked when it came time for the vows.

"I do," Garcia quickly said as tears formed in her eyes.

"Do you Derek William Morgan…" The judge continued.

"I do," Morgan said just as quickly his gaze never wavering for Garcia's.

Next came the rings and after they were placed on each other's fingers the ceremony reached it end with the judge saying, "You may now kiss the bride."

As soon as he said that Morgan cupped Garcia's face in his hands and wiped away a few tears before lowering his mouth to hers.

Garcia blushed when the judge cleared his throat a minute or two later, apparently they'd gotten a little carried away.

The judge then congratulated them as he walked out with the newlyweds.

"Did we really just do that,' Garcia asked once they were outside.

"Yeah we did, Mrs. Morgan,' Morgan said as he pulled her into his arms.

Garcia smiled against his chest before saying, "I like the sound of that."

"Good because I love it," Morgan said as they preceded the rest of the way to the car arm in arm.

Meanwhile back at BA Headquarters…

"Where's my brother at," Emily heard Des say and looked up to see the young woman standing there with lunch.

"He decided not to come in today," Reid answered as he walked over and took the food from her.

Well I guess that means there's more for the rest of you," Des said reaching into the bag just as JJ, Hotch, and Rossi made their way over.

As Des passed put food to them all she learned that Garcia hadn't shown up as well and what she said next had Reid blushing and everyone else nearly choking with laughter, "Oh yeah looks like I need to have a talk with those two, after all I least let my prince out of bed long enough to go to work."

JJ was the first to recover and say, "Des that's way too much information."

"Your welcome," Des said with a grin before they all continued eating the lunch she'd brought in for them.

Meanwhile…

Morgan spent the rest of the afternoon driving his now wife all over DC and he had to admit playing tourist with her was a blast. The day came to a close with a little dinner and dancing; as well as, a promise to take her on a real honeymoon later on. For now though she said she was content returning to their apartment as his wife and with that in mind they headed home.

"Welcome home, Mrs. Morgan," Morgan said with a smile when they arrived at the door to the apartment.

Garcia just beamed right back as he quickly unlocked the door and then swept her up in his arms so that he could carry her over the threshold. Wrapping her arms around his neck she kissed him as they then made their way inside.

"And just where have you two been," The then heard a voice say.

Quickly pulling apart they both turned to see Des and Reid sitting on the couch.

"Sorry I managed to convince JJ and Emily to stay away but she's a different story," Reid spoke up.

Morgan nodded as he slowly lowered her to the ground; once her feet were on the ground she gave Morgan a look that said "we might as well tell them."

"We had to take care of something," Morgan said finally answering Des's question.

"And that would be," Des prodded.

Garcia then spoke for the first time and said, "Sweetie, your brother and I got married today."

"What," Des exclaimed "You did what? Without me or mom there to see it. You are so dead."

"Des chill we're going to do something more formal later on down the road," Morgan said.

Des nodded and smiled before saying, "Okay I guess I should congratulate you then."

"Thank you," Morgan said as he hugged his sister.

Once both Reid and Des congratulated them they quickly headed out the door and left the newlyweds alone.

"Can't you jut imagine what everyone else's reaction is going to be," Garcia remarked once they were alone.

Morgan nodded work was going to e very interesting tomorrow to say the least.
