Married By Christmas-Ch 25
Penelope glanced over and smiled when she saw Hotch and Emily dancing, she had her head laying on his shoulder as they danced their way across the room. Derek said, "what are you looking at sweetness"?, she simply pointed at the couple and smiled.
When their dance was over they watched as Hotch cupped Emilys face in his hands and leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers. Penelope said, "told ya so, told ya so", he laughed and said, "that you did my little matchmaking minx".
Penelope kissed his lips gently and when they pulled apart she sighed happily and said, "I can't believe that everything with Sam is finally over". He rested his forehead against hers and said, "I love you so much and I will thank God everyday for bringing you into my life".
Dave glanced over and smiled as he saw the newlyweds share a soft and loving kiss, he then cleared his throat and said, "I'm going to head out but before I do here is your wedding gift", he handed Derek a set of keys and he said, "what's this"?, Dave said, "this is a key to my penthouse in Paris".
Penelope said, "ohhhh thank you uncle Dave", Derek said, "that isn't necessary", he said, "let me do this, she deserves some happiness, you both do, especially after everything you've been through". Derek looked at his bride and then at Dave and said, "thanks Dave".
JJ smiled as she walked over and said, "you two are practically glowing", Penelope grinned as she threw her arms around her new friend and said, "thank you JJ, thank you so much for everything you and Reid did to keep me safe".
Reid grinned and said, "you are very welcome", JJ said, "now you two go and enjoy your honeymoon", Derek grinned as he pulled an envelope out of his pocket and handed it to Reid. Reid opened it and said, "wow Derek".
Derek said, "you two deserve it", JJ looked down and said, "Derek you don't have to do this", he said, "yes I do, you two worked so hard to help us with the Sam situation and you deserve this". Penelope grinned and said, "call it an early Christmas bonus".
Reid smiled and said, "we really need to get together when you two get back from your honeymoon", Derek nodded his head in agreement and said, "sounds good". Hotch and Emily walked over and Emily hugged Penelope and said, "I'm glad that you don't have to worry about that Sam anymore".
Penelope said, "Me to Em", she leaned in and said, "sooo how long have you and Aaron been together"?, she smiled and said, "almost 6 months". Penelope grinned and said, "you two look so good together and I wish you only the best".
Emily said, "and I wish you and Derek only the best", she sighed happily as she felt an arm wrap around her waist. Derek said, "are you about ready to head out"?, Penelope closed her eyes and smiled and said, "I am ready when you are".
As the newlyweds headed toward their limo their friends started throwing bird feed at their feet, when they slid into the car they looked out the window of the car and waved as the car pulled away from the curb. Derek pulled his wife into a passionate kiss and when they pulled apart he said, "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you".
She smiled and said, "and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you", she laid her head on his shoulder and smiled. Derek kissed the top of her head and sighed happily as they enjoyed the scenery that passed by their window.
