I Do
(EPOV)
I do I do I, I do I doo
Today is the day that I become Mrs. Aaron Hotchner. It has been four months since Aaron has proposed and since I said yes. With Penelope's help I was able to plan the wedding of my dreams in four months. I could have taken longer to plan my wedding but I wanted to be married before Aaron and I had any children. Even though I quit taking my birth control pills and we quit using protection in the last four months I have not gotten pregnant. Well that is what I thought anyways.
However today I found out differently. I noticed that my period was late and decided to take a home pregnancy test yesterday. When that came back positive I called my Doctor and thankfully she was able to get me in to do a blood test right before she closed yesterday. Even though today is Saturday she called me with the results of the blood test. The blood test confirmed that I was indeed pregnant. I couldn't stop the smile from forming on my face. I had yet to tell Aaron but I figured I would tell him after we got married today.
JJ looked at me and said "Why are you smiling Emily?"
I laughed and said "Why shouldn't I be smiling JJ? Today is the day that I finally become Mrs. Aaron Hotchner. I have dreamed of this day for the last two years and never thought that it would come but it has."
All I am, all I'll be
Everything in this world
All that I'll ever need
Is in your eyes
Shining at me
When you smile I can feel
All my passion unfolding
Your hand brushes mine
And a thousand sensations
Seduce me 'cause I
JJ chuckled and said "I must say Em, you and Hotch do make one hell of a couple. I'm glad that your mom was able to get back in time for your wedding."
I smiled and said "So am I and I saw her and dad talking. I wish those two would see how much in love they still are."
JJ nodded and said "I have noticed that Strauss has been acting more like a bitch again and I noticed that your dad didn't bring her with him. Do you know why?"
I could feel the frown form on my face and said "Dad caught her in bed with one of the Agent's under her command. He kicked her out and broke her. He also informed her that if she tried to interfere with Aaron's or my job he would make sure that her life was a living hell."
Jessica, JJ, and Penelope all gasped and Jess said "Is he doing alright then Emily?"
I nodded and said "Actually he has been real happy these last couple of weeks. I think that has something to do with my mom because him and mom have been talking daily on the phone about the wedding plans."
Penelope smiled and said "Your mom and him are made for one another thats for sure."
I nodded and laughed and JJ said "Em you need to stand still so I can get your veil on you properly. You are due to walk down the aisle in five minutes."
I do cherish you (oh baby)
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will love you still
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
I do
I smiled but stayed still. Once JJ had the veil on me Penelope checked my make-up once more and then JJ snapped a picture with all of us in it. I chose royal blue for the bridesmaid dresses and they are each in a different style. Jessica's dress is strapless, where as JJ's dress has spaghetti straps, and Penelope's dress was halter style. My wedding dress is strapless with embroidered flowers and white. My train and veil are both Cathedral style length. I took one last look in the mirror as someone knocked on the door.
"Alright Emily step behind the door just in case it is Aaron." Jessica said.
I laughed but did as I was told. JJ went over and opened up the door and then smiled.
"Alright you two get in here quick so we can shut this door again. How is Hotch holding up?" JJ said.
I heard my mom and dad laugh so I stepped forward so they could see me. My mom gasped and my dad just looked at me and grinned.
"Your husband to be daughter is getting to be a nervous wreck. He wants to marry you and marry you now. Pumpkin you look lovely in that dress." my dad said.
I smiled and said "I am more than ready to get this show on the road."
My mom laughed and said "Emily I love the dresses that you chose for the bridesmaids. I also love the dress you chose to wear. You are a gorgeous bride sweetie."
I stepped forward and hugged my mom and said "I'm so glad that you made it in. I was so afraid that you would not make it."
My mom shook her head and said "I would have moved Heaven and Earth to get here sweetie. I would not have missed this day for anything in the world. By the way I think now is the time to tell you. My assignment is up overseas and I'm not taking another one for a long while. I want to stay home and spend some time with my daughter and get to know my Son-in-law and Grandson-in-law better."
I smiled and hugged her again and said "I'm glad that you are staying for a while mom. I would love to have you around more and I know that Jack would love to get to know you. By the way I have news but will share it after the ceremony. Can we get going please? I don't want to wait another minute."
In my world before you
I lived outside my emotions
Didn't know where I was going
'Til that day I found you
How you opened my life
To a new paradise
In a world torn by change
Still with all my heart
'Til my dying day
My dad laughed and said "Alright Ladies you heard her. Let's get this show on the road and get her married."
Jessica, JJ, Penelope and my mom all laughed. My dad opened up the door and mom gave me one more hug before heading out and to her seat. Penelope, JJ, and Jessica went next. My dad held out his arm and I took it.
He kissed me on the head and said "Just because you are getting married does not mean you are not my baby girl. You will always be my Princess and my baby girl. I'm proud of who you have become. I love you Emily."
I smiled and said "I love you too Dad."
Penelope went down the aisle, then JJ did followed by Jess. Finally the wedding march began and it was my turn. Everyone stood up and Dad started walking me down the aisle. I smiled when I saw Aaron looking at me with all the love he felt for me shining in his eyes. I smiled even bigger when I saw Jack standing close to Aaron.
"Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to witness the union between Aaron Hotchner and Emily Prentiss. Who gives this woman to this man?" Pastor Marks said.
My dad said "Her mother and I do."
He then kissed my cheek and placed my hand into Aaron's. He slapped Aaron on the shoulder and then went and sat beside my mom. I gave my boquet of roses that I walked down the aisle with to Jessica.
"It is my understanding that you two have wrote your own vows." Pastor Marks said.
I do cherish you(so much i know is true)
For the rest of my life
You don't have to think twice
I will(ill aways love you) love you still (so much i know is true)
From the depths of my soul
It's beyond my control
I've waited so long to say this to you
If you're asking do I love you this much
Baby I do
Aaron and I both nodded and Pastor Marks said "Do you Aaron take Emily Prentiss to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward through sickness and health till death do you part?"
Aaron nodded and said "I do."
Pastor Marks looked at me and said "Do you Emily take Aaron Hotchner to be your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward through sickness and health till death do you part?"
I smiled widely as I said "I do."
Pastor Marks looked at Aaron and said "You can say your vows now."
Aaron looked me straight in the eyes and said "Emily you have made mine and our sons life complete since you came into it. Every day I love you more than I did the day before. My love for you knows no bounds. You are the light in my life and my heart beats for you. You are the only woman I want in my life. I love you with everything in me and then some. I stand before our friends and our family and vow that I will never stop loving you. You have made me see what true love is and you are the only woman for me."
I didn't even try to fight the tears that started to fall as the Pastor nodded at me to say my vows. I had to take in a couple deep breaths before I could say anything.
"Aaron it seems like just yesterday that I figured out how much you really meant to me. You are the reason I smile. You are the reason that I'm alive. Without you in my life I would not have a son who I love like my own and nor would we have a child on the way. I love your smile, the sound of your voice, the way you talk, the way you walk, the way you get a gleam in your eye when you catch on to something like you just did. I pledge my undying love to you and to our son. To show you how much I love you I give you the greatest gift of all. I give you my heart, my soul, my body but most importantly I will cherish the life that I am carrying inside of me until he or she is ready to come into this world and join his or her Dad, Brother and Mother. I love you Aaron." I said.
I could have laughed at the shock on his face. Aaron pulled me into his arms and kissed me deeply. When we broke apart everyone laughed.
"Alright Aaron take the ring and place it on her finger and repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed." Pastor Marks said.
Aaron smiled and said "With this ring I thee wed."
"Emily place the ring on Aaron's finger and repeat after me. With this ring I thee wed." Pastor Marks said.
"With this ring I thee wed." I said.
Pastor Marks looked at us and then at everyone who was gathered here with us and said "By the power vested in my by the state of Virginia I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Even before Pastor Marks had stopped talking Aaron pulled me into his arms and kissed me deeply. We broke apart to breathe and I looked down when I felt a tug on my dress.
I smiled down at Jack as he said "Is it true Mommy? Are you giving me the brother or sister I asked for?"
I laughed and bent down and picked Jack up and said "Yes little man you will have a brother or sister in about seven months. I hope you're happy."
Jack nodded and said "Thank you for giving me what I want Mommy. I'm very happy and I love you and daddy."
I smiled and Aaron and I said at the same time "We love you too."
Pastor Marks cleared his throat and said "I give you Mr. and Mrs. Aaron Hotchner."
My mom and dad came up and hugged me and dad said "Congratulations Pumpkin. Since your mom and I have a Grandson now how about you give us a Granddaughter?"
Aaron laughed and said "I would love it if we have a daughter. I want her to look just like her mom."
I blushed and said "And I want another son who looks just like you and Jack, Aaron."
Dave, Jessica, JJ, Spencer, Derek, and Morgan all gave me hugs and said congrats to Aaron and me.
"I love you Emily." Aaron said.
"And I love you Aaron." I said.
"So how does it feel to be Mrs. Aaron Hotchner, Emily?" Derek asked.
I laughed and said "Honestly it feels wonderful. Thank you all for being here to share this day with us."
We looked and saw that all the guest were waiting that were here so we went around thanking them and told them that we would see them at the reception at my Dad's house. Next we took the wedding pictures. Some of just us girls', some with just the men, some with just Aaron and Jack, some with Aaron and me, some with just Jack and me, some with my mom and dad, and then some with all of us. Today was the best day of my life. I was finally Mrs. Aaron Hotchner and I couldn't have been any happier to be tied to one man for the rest of my life.
I'll cherish you(cherish you)
(so much I know is true)
From the depts of my soul
It beyond my control
I waited so long to say this to you
if your asking do i love you this much
baby I do
I do...
