Chapter Twenty One:
After they made their way back down the aisle the photographer and his assistant got everyone together to take photos. He took a few of just Derek and Penelope. Penelope's favourite was of Derek holding her bridal style. Throughout the group photos the newly married couple was having issues keeping their hands off of one another. The photographer's found it both cute and annoying.
"Okay I've got three more and then we'll wrap this up. I want one happy family photo. I need everyone to gather around the bride and groom, big smiles on three." Everyone got situated and listened for the count down. "One, two, and three!" Two quick flashes went off, and then they all relaxed.
"Now for this one I want the bride and groom in the center holding on to one another. Then our lovely beauties in turquoise acting like they're pulling the groom away from the bride, while our lovely gentlemen are doing the same with the bride, and the two little ones in the center acting like they're pushing the two of them apart." As everyone rushed around trying to perfect the pose, the photographer's assistant tried to perfect them. "Perfect, now one three, one, two and three!" Two flashes went off and everyone laughed and went back to normal stances.
"Beautiful! Okay last one and you can head off to the reception! I want a goofy family photo, I can tell you all know how to be crazy, so do something, anything, just be silly!" Derek decided he was going to have Penelope on his back in piggy back fashion, Hotch lifted Emily up bridal style, Reid and J.J. stood back to back make silly faces, and Fran and Dave held Jack and Henry and were making silly faces as well. "One, two and three!" Two flashes went off and everyone lost it in a fit of laughter. "That's a keeper! I love it! Okay you all go enjoy your reception while we get some candid shots of you all!" At hearing this they all left and walked over to the large white party tent was set up. It was all decorated in the turquoise lilies, a midsized dance floor was set up in the center, with a table sat up on three of the four sides. One of the tables was set up with the wedding cake and food, one was set up for them to all sit and eat at, the final one had the sound system set up for them.
As the reception went on they all were enjoying themselves. Everyone had stood up and talked about how they loved Derek and Penelope, and how happy they were that they had finally gotten together. Shared embarrassing moments of Penelope on the phone with Derek, and told stories of their favourite moments with them at the BAU.
When they had cut the cake, everyone got a good laugh at Penelope smearing cake all over Derek's face, and then Derek smearing it on her when he pulled her in for a kiss. The photographers got a few pictures of that. It was definitely going to be a priceless picture. While they were all sitting snacking on the finger foods Dave came over and whispered something in Derek's ear. A wide smile came across his face. When Dave went back to where he was sitting, Derek stood up.
"May I have this dance Mrs. Morgan?" Derek asked offering Penelope his hand.
"Of course Mr. Morgan." Penelope said with a smile as she got up and followed him to the dance floor. God Gave Me You started playing over the speakers.
"Hot Stuff, this song, how'd?" Penelope couldn't even finish her statement. She was so surprised. He started moving them across the dance floor smiling at her.
"When we heard it on the radio, you said it was the perfect love song. I knew it was the right song for our first dance. It fits us perfectly." Derek said as he twirled her effortlessly.
"I can't believe you remember that." Penelope said as she leaned forward and kissed him lightly.
They continued dancing across the floor, soon noticing everyone else had joined them. Even Judge Crum and his wife were dancing now. Derek's playlist continued, and Penelope was pleasantly surprised at all of the songs Derek had chosen for them. So many of them she vaguely remembered telling him she loved, or what they meant to her. Soon she was swept up by Dave saying he needed to dance with his beautiful daughter on her wedding day, and Derek took this opportunity to dance with his mom.
"Baby boy I'm so happy for you and Penelope. She is an amazing woman. I don't think I could have chosen better for you if I had tried. I honestly feel like she's your match in every way." Fran said smiling at her son.
"Thank you Mama. I'm feel like the luckiest man in the world right now." Derek said smiling, he glanced over at his new bride dancing with Dave and his smile grew wider. Dave was twirling her and she was laughing. To Derek she never looked more beautiful.
"Now I expect some news of grandbabies by the end of the year. I know you can't have any for me that soon, but I want to at least hear I'll be getting them by Christmas." Fran said laughing. Derek new she was joking.
"I know Mama." Derek said laughing.
"Now Kitten, if you ever need anything, I'm just a phone call away, you know that right?" Dave said twirling her again.
"I know my Italian Stallion." Penelope said laughing again.
"And I still expect a grandbaby named after me." Dave said giving her a fake stern look.
"Of course. I'll never be able to thank you enough for locking me and Derek in that room in Canada." Penelope said smiling at the memory.
"Jayje?" They heard Reid saying getting progressively louder.
They all rushed over there where J.J. had collapsed. Dave called nine one one, and Fran ushered the boys into the house. The EMT's arrived, Ried rode with her in the ambulance. Dave stayed back at the house with Fran and the boys. Derek, Penelope, Emily and Hotch quickly followed in the rental car. They sped all the way to the hospital, filing out of the car and rushing into the waiting room of the hospital. Reid was pacing the E.R. waiting for news on J.J.
"Reid is she okay? Have they told you anything?" Penelope asked as she approached him. The others gathered around them.
"She came to in the ambulance. They're examining her now. I haven't heard anything yet though. Penelope pulled him into a seat and sat down next to him. They sat in relative silence waiting for the doctor to come tell them something. Finally when Derek was about to lose his mind they saw a doctor and nurse approaching them.
"Mr. Reid?" The E.R. Doctor asked.
"It's actually Doctor Reid, but yes that's me. How's my wife?" Reid asked. He was nervous and rambling.
"I'm Doctor Kruse. Your wife is fine, as I told her, I think she's dehydrated, but just to be on the safe said I'm running tests." Doctor Kruse said looking down at the chart again.
"Can we see her now?" Reid asked nervously. The doctor looked at the group, taking in their attire.
"I wouldn't normally allow a large group to go in, but I can tell that this interrupted something so go ahead. Please keep it down, and let her rest." They all nodded.
"She's in room 4O7, I'll be in with her test results as soon as they're ready." At that the doctor and his nurse walked off.
Everyone made their way to J.J.'s room, Reid entering first and they all filed in behind him.
"Hey guys." J.J. said sitting up in the bed. They all took turns hugging her, and then finding places to sit around her bed.
"Garcie, Derek, I'm so sorry I ruined your reception." J.J. said looking over at them.
"Gum Drop you didn't ruin anything. I'm just worried about you." Penelope said and reached over and held her hand.
They all continued causally chatting until the Doctor came in.
"Mrs. Reid, I have your results when you're ready." Doctor Kruse said looking to her expectantly.
"Oh now would be fine. I'm so ready to leave." J.J. said looking to him.
"Well if your guests wouldn't mind stepping out in the hall I'll read them to you." The doctor said looking at her and then back down at the clipboard again.
"No it's okay, they're my family they can stay." J.J. said looking at him slightly annoyed now. Reid was sitting next to her on the bed holding her hand.
"Alright then Mrs. Reid." The doctor said looking annoyed with her.
