28th June

'So you want your hair like that?'

'Yes, its okay isn't it? I mean it doesn't look stupid?'

'Not at all. It looks amazing.' Emily admired as she looked at Penelope in the mirror. Penelope's hair in its curls that made Derek weak kneed. Each curl perfectly placed. 'You look amazing.'

Penelope blushed. 'I can't believe this is happening.'

'I can!'

'You can?'

'Yeah, I mean you two are perfect for one another. Your best friends and lovers and that is an amazing combination to have.'

'You think?'

'Yes! Don't panic he'll be at the end of that aisle, if his not he'll have me to answer to.'

'And me.' JJ said as he entered the room again. She gasped at the sight in front her. 'Pen stand up.' Penelope obeyed and stood up, slightly scared at the urgency in her friend's voice. 'Oh my god you look absolutely gorgeous.'

'You think so?' She breathed out with relief.

'Oh most definitely.' She looked at Penelope's face and walked over to her. 'You look absolutely gorgeous. Today is yours and Derek's day so stop panicking.'

'I'm sorry, I just feel like I'm forgetting something.'

'Something blue?'

'Got a blue garter on.' She laughed.

'Something new?'

'My husband?

'I don't think that counts.' Emily laughed. 'But it was a good answer.

'No, erm, hair piece you two got me?' They nodded.

'Something old?'

'My mother's locket.'

'Something borrow?'

'Erm... oh... nothing! I have nothing borrowed!'

'Hey don't panic it's going to be fine. We'll find something.'

'But how?'

They were jolted out of their thoughts and Penelope's panic when there was a knock at the door. 'Stay out of sight.' Emily warned, scared it was Derek.

'It's me Fran.' Emily opened the door and in came Fran. 'Penelope you look beautiful.' She began to well up. 'Oh God, I knew this would happen.' She smiled. 'Dear what's wrong?'

'It's stupid but I don't have anything borrowed.'

'Ah well I have then all the more reason for me to want you to wear.' Fran handed over a box as she tried to compose herself. She watched as Penelope opened the box and looked at her confused. 'I want you to wear it.'

'I can't possibly.'

'I do want you to wear it Penelope. Your something borrowed is that bracelet.'

'Are you sure?'

'Positive.'

'I'm just going to pop up to the boys, see if they are having any chaotic moments. I'll bring Hotch with me ready for us to do this.' JJ smiled. 'Pen you really do look amazing.'

'Thanks JJ.'

--------------------------------------------------------

JJ knocked and listened to commotion coming in, she couldn't help but laugh. She was trying to suppress laughter when the door opened.

'So you have a nervous mess too?'

'Penelope not holding up?'

'Panic overload.'

'Come in JJ we're ready.'

Reid stepped out of the way to allow JJ in. 'Let's just say she's panicking about everything.' She saw Derek fiddling with his tie. 'Derek, she's going to be there.'

'I know, I just can't believe she is finally mine.'

'She's in the same frame of mind.'

'So what does she look like?' Derek asked hopeful.

'You, Mr Groom, will have to wait. I'll say one thing, gorgeous.' She added with a smile. 'Em and your mom are with her at the moment.'

'Okay.' Derek said with a smile. His mom was so proud of him for choosing Penelope; she had made that evident on many occasions.

'Right well 20 minutes time and she'll almost be...'

'Don't say it.'

'Why not?'

'Because you say it and I'll want her now.'

'Okay.' JJ started to walk towards the door. 'Come on Hotch. Time to see the bride.'

'No fair.'

'Mrs Morgan.' She laughed as she heard Derek groan at her. 'See you soon.'

--------------------------------------------------------

'We're back.'

'We're ready.'

Hotch turned around from closing the door and smiled. 'Penelope, seriously, you look amazing.' He watched her blush. 'I see everything done to woo Derek Morgan.'

'No wooing needed.'

'Well regardless of whether you are or not, you look perfect.' She smiled. 'Now are you ready to do this?'

'I just want to hear those words.'

'Well let's go.'

-----------------------------------------------------------

Derek stood at the front again fiddling with is tie. Rossi stepped next to him and gave him the warning glare.

'She'll be here in minutes, trust me.'

'I know but I want to do right by her.'

'And you have done so far, so relax yeah?'

'Thanks Rossi.' He said as the older man stepped down to resume his position as the doors opened and the music started. He breathed in and turned round. His sister's came down the aisle and winked at him. Then Emily, who gave him the smile that told him everything he needed to know and finally JJ who smiled and gave him a wink. His nerves melted when she stepped through the door, linked on her hand. She looked at him and smiled. He forgot about the church full of people and concentrated on her. Full heartedly on her and nothing else. She looked beautiful, her hair done to perfection, its curls. Her makeup done to its minimal perfection, her lips the red that drove him insane. He looked at her in the dress, the way it hugged her curves must have been criminal. All in all words could not truly describe what she looked like but he knew she was beautiful.

30 minutes couldn't have gone faster to him, he was yearning now to kiss her, to hold her in his arms and kiss her not as his best friend, or lover but as his wife and then....

'I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride.'

He wrapped his arms around her and the amount of passion that had been suppressed now flowed on both behalves. Everyone stood clapping, some wolf whistles, and lots of encouragement. Not that it was necessary. When he pulled away, she looked at him.

'Well Mrs Morgan... shall we?'

'Let's go Mr Morgan.'
