Disclaimer: I own nothing of this brilliant television show :*(
So I had several requests to write a second epilogue to "Hate To Love You" from several people. So here it is :) Another epilogue...and I think you might like how it goes! It'll be short and sweet :)
Two Months Later
"I feel like I'm about ready to pop," Penelope said as she was helped into her wedding dress.
JJ smirked. "You know, I heard Derek telling Rossi that Hotch that he thinks you're incredibly hot while you're pregnant," she said with a wink. "You know, Will never had an obscene amount of sex with me when I was pregnant with Henry."
"Lucky. When I get the feeling getting out and dressed like a normal person, my fool fiancee drags me back in and takes me against the wall!" Penelope huffed.
"You know, I see you two being that couple who still has it going on when you're seventy," JJ snickered. "All finished back here." She patted Penelope gently on the back. "The corset is all finished."
"Thanks Jayje," she said. Her baby kicked a few times and she groaned. "This little boy is such a kicker. Ellie was never this bad when I was pregnant with her."
Pulling her best friend into a hug, JJ murmured, "It'll be okay. You'll not even notice the kicking as you're walking down the aisle. Derek will distract you."
"I sure hope so," she said, wincing as another kick came from her belly. "Where's Ellie at? Do you know?"
JJ smiled. "I think she's with Blake right now," she said, leading her out of the room where the two of them had been getting ready. She grabbed their bouquets off of the table in the hallway and handed Penelope's to her. "Oh, there's Blake at the end of the hall." She started waving her flowers in the air. "Blake!"
Blake turned around. She was holding Ellie's hand. Smiling, she waved back. "Hey JJ, Garcia," she said.
Ellie smiled widely. "Mama!" She ran towards her mother and wrapped her arms around her legs.
"Hey sweetie," Penelope murmured. "I would lean down and hug you, but I can't right now. My belly is too big."
"When is my baby brother going to be born, Mama?" Ellie asked. "I miss being able to hug you."
Penelope laughed. "I miss hugging you too," she said. "But we have to go walk down the aisle. You're walking with me and Uncle Dave."
Ellie twirled around in her small pink dress and grinned. "I can't wait to hug you again," she chirped, taking her mother's hand.

"You sure she's coming down the aisle, man?" Derek asked Reid frantically. He loosened his bow tie slightly and cleared his throat. "She was really upset when I almost missed Ellie's birthday and I just -"
Reid smacked Derek over the back of his head. "Morgan, shut up," he said. "You were also put on two weeks, unpaid leave and told Strauss to suck it. I'm pretty sure she was fine with that. She loves you. Plus, she's about to pop with your second infant. I'd say she's planning on coming down the aisle."
Derek turned to look Reid and said, "You just hit me!"
"You deserved it," Reid said with a smirk. "It's payback for all those years ago when Garcia got shot and you hit me while you were telling her you were going to spank her." He tapped his chin. "What is that thing you always tell me? Oh right! Paybacks are a bitch!"
The quartet that JJ had found and booked the week before started playing Canon in D and Morgan lost his chance to give a snappy retort. JJ, Emily, and Blake came down the aisle in their bridesmaids dresses. Then came Rossi and Penelope with Ellie holding her mother's hand. All of his worries then went out the window. Penelope came walking down the aisle towards him with a broad grin on her face. As they reached the end of the aisle, Ellie went and threw her arms around Derek's legs. He leaned down and kissed her cheek. "I love you, sweetie," he whispered.
Ellie grinned toothily. "Love you, too, Daddy!" she said before going over to sit on Fran's lap.
Rossi smiled and kissed Penelope's cheek before handing her hands to Derek. Penelope smiled at Derek and whispered, "Hey Hot Stuff!"
"How you doing, Baby Girl?" he whispered back. "You look a little tense."
She gave him a strained smile. "I'm doing good," she said. "Little guy is kicking up a storm that's all."
The officiant started the ceremony and when he pointed to Derek and said, "Derek and Penelope have written their own vows to speak to each other. So now Derek is going to say his."
Derek took a deep breath and smiled. "Baby Girl, I love you more than words can say. You complete me in ways that no one else can and I want to spend the rest of my life with you and Ellie and this little guy and the other two children we're going to have." He laughed and used his thumb to wipe her tears away from her cheeks. "So with this ring, I give you my heart, my love, and my life."
The officiant motioned for Penelope to speak her vows. Inhaling sharply, she murmured, "Hot Stuff, I don't know how to express my love to you with words." She paused and closed her eyes for a moment before starting again shakily. He tilted his head to the side as if to ask if she was okay and she nodded in response. "I'm never happier than when I'm with you and Ellie and..." Her voice trailed off and she visibly winced.
"Baby, are you okay?" he asked.
She nodded and gave him an uneasy smile. "Yeah," she said. "I think I'm in labor though."
Derek's eyes went wide. "Oh my God!" he cried. "We need to get you to the hospital!"
Penelope shook her head. "We just need to finish this," she panted. "Then we can get going. Okay! So..."
"Baby, we need to -"
"No, no!" she said. "With this ring, I give you my heart, my love, and my life." When she finished, she clapped her hands together and turned to the officiant with a huge smile. "Okay! Let's wrap this up! I'm having a baby here!"
With a nervous smile, the officiant said, "So by the power vested in me by the state of Virginia, I pronounce you husband and wife. Derek, you may kiss your bride."
Hurriedly, Penelope grabbed Derek's face and pulled him into a kiss. The small crowd of people in their audience clapped and she smiled up at Derek. "Time to go have this baby," she panted.
He nodded. "Let's go then," he said, pulling her by the hand and down the aisle.

Several Hours Later
"Mrs. Morgan, here's your baby boy," the nurse said, handing over Penelope and Derek's son who she'd just cleaned off. She handed the blue gurgling bundle to Penelope. "He looks just like you, Mr. Morgan."
Derek grinned broadly as Penelope held their newborn son. "Oh, look at him," Penelope cooed. She stroked her new baby son's cheek and murmured, "He's so beautiful."
"Someone came to visit!" Fran Morgan sang out.
"Mama!" Ellie came skipping into the room and she threw herself into Derek's open arms. He picked her up and kissed her cheek. "Hi Daddy," she said. "Is that my baby brother?" She pointed at her mother and the baby she was holding.
Fran came up next to them and nodded. "That's your baby brother," she said. "Have you named him yet?" she added, glancing at Derek.
"Not yet," Penelope murmured, looking up at her mother in law. She smiled at her daughter. "Hi sweetie," she added, patting the spot next to her on the bed. "Do you want to meet your brother?"
Ellie nodded vigorously and motioned for Derek to put her down so she could go sit on the bed next to Penelope and her unnamed brother. She stared at her brother in wonder. "He's so cute, Mama!" she squealed. "He needs a name. I can't just call him 'he' for the rest of his life. That's just silly."
"Well, we did have a few names in mind for him," Derek said, smiling at Fran. The two of them sat in the chairs next to Penelope's bed. "We liked the name Liam."
Penelope kissed the top of her daughter's head and asked, "What do you think of that, Ellie? Liam sound good to you?"
"That sounds perfect, Mama!" Ellie said, leaning her head against her mother's shoulder.
Derek grinned and put his arm around his mother. "Liam Morgan it is," he said. His eyes met Penelope's and she winked at him. Flashing her his thousand watt grin, he mouthed, I love you.
I love you too, she mouthed back with a wink, feeling like she was on cloud nine to be surrounded by her family.
