The next several months pass by quickly for everybody and now they are a few minutes away from the wedding, Derek nervously paces back and forth across the room as Reid, Hotch and Rossi laugh. Reid says, "Morgan you need to stop pacing or you are gonna be replacing the floor. Derek laughed and said,
"sorry Pretty Boy but I'm nervous, like reallyyyyyyyy nervous".
Rossi walked over and put his hands on Dereks shoulder and said, "son trust me you got this, you are gonna be fine", he took a deep breath and said,
"I don't know what's wrong with me man". Hotch said, "you are going to be fine Morgan, the second you see Penelope walking towards you, everything is gonna be ok", he closed his eyes and took a deep breath trying to calm down.
Rossi smiled and said, "well I have good news for you Morgan", Derek smiled and said, "cool, what is it"?, he said, "we found out this morning that Ms.
Todd was sentenced to 25 years in prison for what she did to you and Penelope". Derek hugged Rossi and said, "Rossi man that's great", Rossi grinned and said, "and she has to serve 20 years before she is even eligible for parole", he grinned as he thought of the fact that Jordan was finally gonna pay for everything she had done.
Penelope turns around and says, "alright ladies, how do I look"?, Fran says, "ohhhhhhhh honey you are beautiful and my son isn't going to be able to keep his eyes off of you". Emily smiled and said, "I agree with Fran, you look amazing PG", JJ hugged her and said, "ohhhhhh Garcie you look amazing,
how do you feel"?, she blew out a deep breath and said, "I feel great, nervous, but great".
Fran smiled and said, "Penelope I can't tell you how happy I am for you and my baby boy, the two of you belong together, now when are the two of you gonna get started on those grandbabies for me"?, Penelope laughed and said, "don't worry momma Morgan you are gonna get them and hopefully soon". JJ smiled and said, "just remember I am partial to the name Jeniffer", the ladies all laughed until they heard a knock on the door.
Emily walked over and opened the door and said, "come in Dave", she stepped aside and Rossi walked in and said, "ohhhhhhh kitten you look beautiful, I hope that Derek knows how lucky he is". Penelope kissed Rossi on the cheek and said, "thanks my Italian Stallion, but I am the lucky one here", he held out his arm and said, "are you ready to get married"?, she took a deep breath and said, "I sooooooooooo am".
Fran kissed her on the cheek and said, "I love you Penelope and I will see you out front", she smiled and said, "thanks for everything Fran", she smiled and said, "you are very welcome honey". JJ and Emily pulled Penelopes trane over and said, "you look great Penelope", they all walk to the closed doors at the end of the church.
Derek looks at Reid and says, "what if she has changed her mind", Reid said, "Morgan", Derek said, "what if she doesn't love"?, Reid said, "Derek", he said, "ohhhhhhhh god Reid, what if she doesn't want to marry me"?, Reid put his hands on Dereks shoulders and said, "Morgan calm down man, trust me she is hasn't changed her mind, she loves you and wants to marry you".
The music starts and Emily slowly starts making her way to the front of the church, Hotch smiles as she gets closer and closer the front, she looks so beautiful in her peach colored dress. Next JJ starts making her way to the front of the church, she looks beautiful with her long blonde hair hanging down on her shoulders makes her peach dress look amazing.
Rossi says, "are you sure that your ready for this kitten"?, she looks at Rossi and says, "ohhhhhh yes Dave, I love Derek with all my heart and I have loved him for years". Rossi nods and the doors open again and Penelope feels her heart start to race when she sees the smiling happy face of her future husband looking back at her.
They slowly start their way up to the front of the beautful decorated church, Derek mouths the words Ilove you goddess", she winks at him and mouths the words, "I love you to". Finally they reach the front of the church, Dave raises her veil and places a kiss on her cheek and puts her hand in Dereks and steps back.
The minister smiles and says, "I want to thank everybody for being here today to witness the wedding for two wonderful people, Derek Michael Morgan and Penelope Marie Garcia. He looks at Rossi and says, "who gives this woman to be married to this man"?, he smiles and says, "I do", he then sits down in the church beside Fran.
Derek squeezes Penelopes hand as the minister says, "Dearly beloved we are gathered here today to join in the bonds of holy matrimony Derek Morgan and Penelope Garcia". He looked at Reid and JJ and asked for the rings, he opend his bible and placed the rings in the center and closed his eyes and said,
"God we ask that you bless the union of these to precious souls, these rings are a symbol of their unending love, we ask that you bless their lives with peace, love, joy and happiness".
He looks up and says, "I understand that you two have written your own vows"?, they both smile and say, "yes", he reaches Derek the ring and says, "I want you to slide the ring on her finger and then recite your vows to Penelope". Derek takes the ring in his fingers and takes a deep breath as his shakey hands slides the ring on her finger.
He looks at her and says, "Penelope, you are my baby girl, my goddess, my best friend, my confidant, the love of my life and today you become my wife,
I promise to show you everyday how much I love you". Penelope smiles as she feels tears stream down her face, the minister says, "Penelope I need you to slide the ring on Dereks finger and recite your vows to him", she took the ring in her fingers and nervously slides the ring on his finger.
She looks at Derek and says, "Derek, you are my hotstuff, my chocolate adonis, the love of my life, the future father of my children and today you become my husband". She took a deep breath and said, "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, to grow old with you, I know that our lives are gonna be filled with love, joy and happiness".
The minister said, "If there is anyone that can show just cause while these two can not be joined in the bonds of holy matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace". He looks at the happy couple and says, "by the power vested in me by this state, I now pronounce you husband and wife, Derek you may now kiss your bride".
Derek pulls her into his arms and presses his lips to her, you can hear JJ and Emily saying awwwwwwwwwww as their lips meet, when they pull apart the minister says, "Ladies and Gentlemen Derek and Penelope Morgan". The room is filled the the sound of hands clapping and everybody wishing the happy couple the best of luck.
Derek pulls his wife into his arms and kisses her lips again and says, "I love you Penelope Morgan", she laughs and says, "I love you to Derek Morgan",
the stand there with their arms wrapped around each other knowing that their life is perfect.
