Penelope was still in a daze after the first dance that Derek had given her. He'd even kept her up there dancing in his arms for ages after that dance, but in the end she'd allowed his mom to take over and she sat watching, her hand running the course of the curve of her stomach, settling the babies inside.
She sat back, and closed her eyes as she listened to the hustle and bustle of the party around her. She opened them when she felt someone take a seat next to her and she smiled as she looked at her dad.
"How you feeling?"
"Amazing, my feet are killing me so I'm going commando on my feet." She joked as she continued to rub her stomach. "I'm so happy I have you here." She said and looked at him with a bright smile. "It still feels like I'm going to wake up and it not be real."
"Oh it's not going to end, Princess." James told her and leant forward. "How are my grandkids doing?"
"They're doing completely fine; they're getting the rest while I don't." Penelope told him and patted her stomach in adoration. "Just never thought that 5 months pregnant with twins would be this tiring. I was hoping to get extremely drunk the other night." She said and winked at him. "I wouldn't change this moment for anything." Penelope said as she watched Derek twirl Desiree around and laugh. "Sometimes I need moments like this, to sit away from it all to realise that this is my life and it's not going to change. I have the most amazing man as my best friend in the whole wide world and then he was the love of my life and now he's both that and my husband and I'm making a family with him. It's just a little overwhelming." Penelope said and blinked to halt her tears. "God, I promised myself I wouldn't cry today."
James took her hand, his eyes were welling up. "I know it's a little overwhelming and today means a lot, this is the start of it all. Just remember that he loves you and this all shows it." Penelope nodded and looked at him with a smile, one that tremble. "Come on, I want a dance with my newly married daughter."
"Whisk me off then Papi." Penelope said as James brought her to her feet and pulled her to the dance floor.
Derek looked across as James took Penelope to the middle of the dance floor, the awe fulfilling him completely as he watched her sway to the music, the dress she had on swishing from side to side making her movements all the more fluid and elegant. He watched the smile grow on her face as her and her dad spoke and he just stood bedazzled and sucked in by the sight of the one woman that had captured his heart.
"She looks beautiful." Hotch said stepping next to Derek, he passed Derek a beer and they watched Penelope and James. "She's a lucky woman."
"And I'm a lucky man." Derek said with a smile and looked at her. "I think we should do speeches and then really build this party up."
"I'll go tell the DJ." Hotch didn't hesitate, he wanted to dance with Emily and so he left Derek to go to Penelope.
"Sorry to interrupt." Derek said with a smirk. "Speeches are about to begin, so..." Before he could finish the DJ finished the sentence for him and Penelope let Derek take her hand and went to their table, everyone else going to sit down.
Hotch stood up, cards in one hand and a glass of champagne in the other. "I wrote a whole speech out but right now, I think it's stupid so I'm just going off key here. When both Derek and Penelope are together, there's a certain something that sparks and everyone see's it and now these two do.
"The thing I've always known is the difference between try and triumph is a little bit of 'umph. Well, after a bit more oomph the pair finally found their triumph in one another and now look at them. Mr and Mrs and Mom and Dad as well. If that's not a triumphant then I don't think I know what is." Hotch then rose his glass. "So to Mr and Mrs Morgan, let's hope your run of life is a lot less chaotic and a lot smoother."
Everyone clapped and Hotch sat down, Penelope watched as her dad stepped up in his place and she looked at Derek confused, she didn't know this was going to happen.
"Well, this was a last minute arrangement, but there are only so many words that a best man can say." He said nervously but the moment he looked at Penelope he felt the confidence grow. "I may have only been in Derek and Penelope's lives for a couple of months, but I feel like I've never been out of it. The love I've seen for one another never ceases to amaze me and it's never ending. I lost Penelope when she was little and I will cherish the day I got her back. What I won't cherish is the events that occurred, but as the family I've been accepted in, I've realised that whatever happens it doesn't matter because there's always a future.
"I can probably vouch for everyone here that we know what I mean. Penelope Garcia is now Penelope Morgan and soon me and Fran, Derek's mom, will be gifted with being grandparents to two children that will be born to the best parents ever. If they can love each other and those around them, then we all know that those children will be loved beyond anything measureable.
"I guess all I can say is thank you for showing me that true love never dies and for giving me a brighter future." He said and toasted them completely.
Derek hugged Penelope as her eyes began to stream. She knew her dad loved her but that had just shown her how much he exactly loved her. Then he released her and stood up, Penelope looked up at him, her eyes wide, her mouth slightly open as she watched him. "Plant your own garden and decorate your own soul, my mother always brought me and our sisters up on. Instead of waiting for someone to bring us flowers, she'd always finish it off with and well I'd just like to say, Mom, I don't have to plant my own, Penelope does it all. My baby girl is the one person in my life to have restored me, and I'm not saying that my family in Chicago failed me, what I'm saying is that Penelope Garcia walked into my life and from day one I felt something shift in me. And I think today shows what that shift was." He put his glass down and took Penelope's hands, pulling her to her feet gently. "I think it's safe to say that I am the man I am today because I have met the other half of my soul and I've found the place that I feel complete and that's in my baby girl's heart."
Everyone clapped and Derek, in a burst of lust, pulled Penelope tight and kissed her greedily. The kiss felt like it lasted forever to Penelope and she gorged herself on how much she loved every single moment of it.
Pulling apart Penelope looked at him and smiled teasingly, she then turned to the rest of the gathering, held her glass up and smirked more. "Seeing as I've been kept out of the loop, I'm going to do the same and issue Derek Morgan, my handsome husband, a little life warning."
"Oh yeah?" Derek encouraged amused.
"Oh yeah, Sugar. May you never steal, lie or cheat. But if you' are going to steal, steal my breath from me daily, and steal my sorrows away, and if you're going to lie, lie with me through the night and if you are going to cheat, cheat death for me. That's all I ask of you Derek."
"Best life warnings I've ever been given." Derek said and pulled Penelope into his arms and held her as everyone stood up and clapped them.
"I think it's time you went on honey moon!" JJ said coming over excitedly. Penelope looked at her and saw her now looking calm and almost serene. "Everything's perfect and there's a honey moon waiting you."
"I want to do more dancing first." Penelope said and gave up her tiredness to have Derek dance with her. She watched him bend down and she looked intrigued. "What are you..."
"You have no shoes on, I'm not either, I don't want to tread on your toes and I plan to bump and grind with my wife." He told her and she giggled as he pulled her to the dance floor.

Hours later Penelope and Derek were pulling up to a beach house. With the babies the pay didn't want to risk anything and so Penelope had voted for a secluded beach house for a week.
Stepping out, Derek didn't hesitate with running around to the other side and opening the door, helping Penelope out he kissed her and they walked up to the house, the sun was beginning to set and Penelope was ready to settle with her husband and enjoy the life that lay ahead, well, that was what she had told Derek.
As ever, Penelope had other ideas.
Walking around exploring while Derek brought in the bags, she smiled as she found the stereo system. Loving that they were the only house for a little bit down the beach, she turned it on, readying it, and put the volume up.
"That everything?" She asked innocently as she watched him put her bag down and he nodded. "Good." She told him with a smile and watched him leave the house, she went up to one of her bags and grabbed her Ipod, she pulled it out and got the song ready, she plugged it in and left it be for the moment.
"Let's set the mood eh Baby Girl?" Derek asked as he came in fully and shut the door, locking it behind him. With the dim lighting from the house he went in search of candles but Penelope stopped him. "What's wrong?"
"I want to watch the sun set on the beach."
"In your dress?" He asked her cynically.
"Yes, in my dress." Penelope told him and melted into a smile. "First sunset as husband and wife..." She said and trailed off, leaving Derek no reason to complain. It didn't take long for Penelope to find herself in Derek's arms, the path marked out with fairy lights. "This is everything I dreamed it to be and more." Penelope whispered as she remained comfortable.
"You're telling me. I regret not getting you sooner."
"You have me now and that's all that matters." She told him and Derek looked her in the eyes, he couldn't argue with her, but then he just wished he'd gotten this sooner than he had. "We've got a long life ahead of us. Old and grey is my plan." Derek had to laugh at her, he had the same plan as her all along and he couldn't wait for it. "Handsome?"
"Yeah Baby Girl?" Derek said as he stared at the sea, the sun finally disappearing.
"I got a surprise inside for you."
"Really? What would that be?"
"That would be telling." She said and finally moved away from his arms and went to stand up, she then pulled him into house, she was leading this moment like he'd led all the previous ones of the day.
This was Penelope's time to take control.
"You chose earlier, I've chosen a song to dance to. It really speaks for me about how you make me feel." She told him and he watched her go over to the stereo, he then just turned the lights down, diming them and he walked to her, ready to capture her in his arms and dance with him.
The beat started and Penelope took Derek's waiting arms.
You think I'm pretty Before you met Let's go all the way tonight
Without any make-up on
You think I'm funny
When I tell the punch line wrong
I know you get me
So I'll let my walls come down, down
I was a wreck
But things were kinda heavy
You brought me to life
Now every February
You'll be my valentine, valentine
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
Derek did what was natural, he danced with Penelope how the music required and he could see she was loving it as much as he was. Having the music loud made the words penetrate his thoughts, made him realise that everything he felt for Penelope and the way he'd strived for her to feel paid off.
Penelope ran her hands around the back of his head, keeping him close to her, not wanting to let him go. This song spoke volumes, she was a wreck when she was joined the BAU, but having him on side built her up and made her feel like she would be forever young and she didn't want to lose that feeling. Ever.
You make me My heart stops
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
It was as that part of the song finished Derek felt overwhelmed and pulled Penelope up a little and dipped to kiss her. He felt the sparks fly and the lightening strike between them again.
He felt every single emotion he'd felt when he'd kissed her for the first time.
This was the real deal. Living and getting old with Penelope was never going to get old.
The kiss caused him to miss part of the song, but he didn't care, so far music had spoken enough.
I finally found you Let's go all the way tonight You make me My heart stops
My missing puzzle piece
I'm complete
No regrets, just love
We can dance until we die
You and I
We'll be young forever
Feel like
I'm living a Teenage Dream
The way you turn me on
I can't sleep
Let's runaway
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
When you look at me
Just one touch
Now baby I believe
This is real
So take a chance
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
Derek didn't give the song chance to finish, he was now insatiable and only Penelope could give him the sugar rush he needed. He pulled her to the bedroom, slowly and carefully he untied the dress, taking step by step, he pushed the straps down and then in one swift moment he pulled her into his arms, he made it to the master bed room and pulled the dress completely off.
He then made haste with stripping himself. All the while he's eyes roaming the beauty of her body, the swell of her stomach, the juiciness of her breasts, the seductive look on her face. His heart was racing, pulsating more and more endorphins around his veins, getting him more sexually excited.
When he was fully stripped, he climbed on top of her. Pregnant or not, he knew sex wasn't a sin and he knew it wouldn't do any harm and he wanted Penelope on the first night of their married life.
He was going to have sex with Penelope Morgan for the first time and all the while the songs continued to play.
You are so beautiful to me
You are so beautiful to me
Can't you see
Your everything I hoped for
Your everything I need
You are so beautiful to me
Penelope heard the new song start but she lost all control of her senses from the moment Derek began to kiss her tender breasts, his hands roaming.
She lost it all to Derek Morgan.
