For Penelope the journey home on the plane had been both emotionally and physically tiring for her, she couldn't walk much, so she had to sit, her side was playing up on her and all she wanted to do was run back to her brothers. Having only been away from them 3 hours, with the promises of seeing them as soon as, she felt the break in their relationships already.

She wrung her hands together, as if she was anticipating something, she didn't know what, she just felt the urge to fidget.

'Penelope you okay there?' Hotch asked having watched her, he looked the others when she didn't reply. 'Penelope?!' He asked louder and saw her jump and look at him. 'Everything okay?'

'Yeah, everything's fine.'

'You sure P? You looked pretty far away.'

'Hmm yeah, just don't feel quite right.'

'You missing them already?' She nodded her head, and looked down. 'It's only naturally.'

'I know but I'm scared of losing them.'

'Oh you won't!'

'How can you be sure?'

'JJ I think you need to step in here.'

'JJ... why?'

'Pen, I wasn't going to do this until we got back and you were settled but George and me, I don't know.' JJ halted, scratched her head and looked at the others sucking up the encouragement. 'We've well, we like one another.' Penelope just smiled widely at her. 'So you're okay with it?'

'Well it's George's life not mine but I love the idea!'

'Thank God.'

'Why the hell are you thanking God? You think I'd be the awkward sister about it?'

'No but well it might make you uncomfortable.'

'No way JJ... just how you going to do it, I mean with him all the way in California and you in Quantico.'

'We haven't worked that kink out yet but it's doable, we can make it work.' JJ said assertive and sure.

Penelope smiled again, before looking at Reid as he tried to look inconspicuous in his seat. 'So sweetie, you and my sister in law eh?'

Reid looked up and blushed, only to be met with smiles. 'You don't mind do you, I mean Derek more of course.' He said fidgeting.

'Kid shut up! We love the idea! You brightened Pen's day the other day with the news.'

'Really?' Reid squawked before smiling as Penelope nodded and they saw him relax. 'You need to tell your sister that.'

'How about you get her to Quantico and I tell her then.'

'You're going to make her sweat aren't you?'

'Only a little bit.'

'Handsome!' Penelope said swatting his arm. 'That isn't nice... its young love!'

'My kid sister young love!'

'Yeah but you've been there I'm sure!'

'He's still there!' Emily quipped gaining looks from everyone. 'I'm not joking he actually is.'

'I'm going to agree with that.' Hotch added and soon everyone was joint on the decision. 'I'd actually say Penelope is too.' They all laughed as the agreement mounted again.

After another 2 hours the plane descended and they found themselves stepping on Quantico ground, their homeland. 'Morgan let me take you and Penelope home.' Hotch said as he grabbed some of the bags. When they were all in secure Hotch looked at them. 'Who's place?'

'His.' Penelope said muttered as she felt sleepy. 'Less steps.'

'Whoa! What's happened to Penelope Garcia?'

'No longer home, its Penelope Morgan.'

'It's good to hear that.' Hotch said as he took to the road. 'Mind if we make a stop first?'

'Go for it boss man.' Penelope said as she relaxed into the back seat of the SUV. 'You know these seats are always amazingly comfortable.' She started and the tail spin of a conversation began to unravel until Penelope fell asleep. Soon they were stopping by the beach, the gentle stopping woke Penelope up, they saw a wooded area to their left, the sea to their right. 'Erm boss man...'

'Just follow.' Was all Hotch said as he got out and opened the door to a confused Penelope and Derek. No one spoke and they looked confused as Rossi pulled up in the 2nd SUV and Reid with the 3rd, Emily got out with Rossi, JJ with Reid, they all smiled and prompted to move the party on. Every time either Derek or Penelope went to ask what was going on they got shut down with a simple 'shh' noise or a 'keep on moving'.

Soon they were to an opening, sand carrying on between the trees, hanging from the branches were lanterns, and a small amount of chairs before a red carpet running down the middle, creating a walkway.

'What is this?' Penelope asked as she gawped at the view in front of her.

'Your second wedding.'

'With your family.'

'So come on Doris, you are with me. Derek you are with Owen.'

'Lance!' Penelope said tearing her arm from Lance's and turning to him after he had grabbed her from behind. 'Honeymoon?'

'Is here with my favourite gal!'

'Pen, you did it for us, we're doing it for you!' Then Derek was dragged off by Hotch and Owen, when he was out of the way he was handed a suit jacket. 'Actually no jacket, how does Pen like you to dress?'

'In this.' Derek answered showing emphasis on his clothes.

'Hmm macho man.' Owen mused. 'I can see why Pen likes it.'

'Owen are you perving on him?' Hotch asked suppressing laughter.

'Only as far as the married part of me will allow me to.'

Penelope found herself dragged in the opposite direction, Lance clasping her hand in a familiar hold, JJ and Emily behind her. 'Guys...' She started.

'Hush up!'

'Lance! Stop! Why are you doing this?'

'Because you no longer have to get married in secret... you have a family that want to witness it Doris!'

'But I'm married.'

'Pen... second marriage!' JJ said as she placed a flower in Penelope's hair. 'Hence what we got you to wear.'

Penelope looked down at the white dress she was wearing. 'But I thought...'

'Me and Emily told you to wear it because everything else was dirty.'

'You two lied!'

'Hardly.'

'Hey kiddo you ready?' Came a voice and Penelope swung round and smiled as Jimmy hugged her. 'Look like your mom princess.'

'I wish she was here.'

'I know you do but they're always around, they'd be proud of you, and your husband.'

'Thanks.' Penelope said tearful as she accepted another hug.

'Hey! No crying, make up!' Lance said as he fluttered around Penelope with JJ and Emily. 'Jimmy go and wait, she'll be 2 minutes tops!'

'Still got that attitude when it comes to Pen you do!'

'Hey she's my Doris!' Penelope laughed at they but silenced and massaged her side. 'Pen when did you take something for it?'

'Before the flight.' She looked up at Jimmy. 'How the hell did you manage to get here before us?'

'Well... that's a secret that Penelope Garcia will never know.'

'Well seeing as I'm Penelope Morgan, do I get to know?'

'Maybe!' He said working back towards the main opening.

'Oh Jimmy!' She whined playfully.

'Not going to work sugar plum.' Lance said as he fiddled with her hair. 'Now stand still and you'll be ready.'

Derek had been standing at the front, his mom looking on proudly, Hotch, Rossi and Reid at his side. 'At least you know she can't jilt you.' Rossi said making him laugh and relax, Derek knew he was right, Penelope was already his.

Lance, Emily and JJ hurried down the makeshift aisle, Lance giving a wink and low down thumbs up as he went and then Jimmy walked out with Penelope linked on his arm. They all saw her eyes capture Derek's and she smiled sheepishly, as though this was the first time they had done this.

When Jimmy got her to the end he left her and sat with the 4 brothers, looking like the proud father. As the ceremony went on, everyone looked on happily, finally giving Penelope and Derek a wedding to remember, a wedding that was shared with their closest.

It was only as Derek and Penelope turned to look at the small crowd after finishing that they saw their real family as a whole, from the brother's Garcia to Derek's mom and sister, even from Lance and Owen to Kat and her fiancé and lastly, the pair really saw the team as their family, the ones that helped them regardless and everyone had just proven what Derek and Penelope meant to them by throwing them a wedding that they could be at.
