Sold-Ch 26

While they were picking out a dress Reid called JJ and filled her in on Dereks plan and instantly they had the rest of the family in on it with them. Fran and the girls worked on a cake and food for a reception while Dave worked on getting somebody to marry them and Hotch helped Emily with decorations while Jack, Henry and Angela played quietly in another room.

When Derek walked through the door Fran dried her hands and said, "we just put the finishing touches on the cake and food for the reception". Derek said, "and pretty boy and I have baby girl a dress", Emily said, "I just checked on PG and she's still sleeping", Derek said, "good, sleep is what she needs right now".

Dave said, "a friend of mine Carmine is coming to preside over the ceremony and he'll be here in about an hour, does that give you enough time"?, Derek said, "it does, all I need to do is get changed and then we'll wake up goddess so that she can get ready".

Sarah said, "Desi and I will get Angela ready", Derek said, "this is all coming together, we're finally going to be happy again, all of us". Dave said, "go get ready son", Derek smiled and said, "thank you, thank you all so much for everything" before he disappeared up the stairs to get dressed.

When he came back down a few minutes later Fran said, "look at my son, isn't he handsome"?, Reid said, "please Fran don't feed into his ego his head is going to be so big that soon we won't be able to get him out the front door", Derek laughed and said, "funny pretty boy, very funny".

Sarah said, "the minister will be here soon, you need to go and wake up your wife", Derek grinned and said, "on it" as he walked into the living room and sat down across from her on the table. He said, "sweetness, I need for you to wake up", he got no response and said, "baby, I need you to wake up for me".

Her eyes fluttered open and she pulled away and said, "no, please", Derek said, "it's alright baby girl, it's just me, you're fine, you're fine". She said, "sorry hotstuff", he said, "you've got nothing to be sorry for goddess, nothing at all".

She said, "look at you all dressed up where are you going"?, he said, "going, nowhere, doing, we're getting married", she said, "sugar we're already married". He said, "true butttttt we're going to renew our vows", she said, "really, you'd do that for me"?, he said, "I'd do anything for you, anything".

Penelope said, "what am I suppose to wear"?, he said, "dress is already waiting on our bed", she said, "before I go get dressed, where did you go"?, he said, "how did you know that I was gone"?, she said, "I heard you talking before I drifted completely out", he said, "well I went to see Carl".

She said, "C C Carl, why"?, he put his hands on her shoulders and she pulled back and said, "I I I can't, please don't", he said, "sorry baby, sorry, I didn't mean to". She said, "why did you go see him Derek, why"?, Derek said, "I went to tell him that he's not Angelas dad that I am", she smiled and said, "I bet he didn't take that to well".

Derek said, "you would be right gorgeous buttttttt he's out of our hair now so it's time for us to move on with our lives and a vow renewal is going to give us that boost". She said, "I love you", he winked at her and said, "I love you to now I need you to get that sexy butt of yours into our room and get dressed because the minister will be here anytime".

She stood up with his help and then saluted him and said, "sir yes sir hotstuff sir" causing him to laugh as he watched the women all help her down the hall and disappear into their room at the end of the hall. He blew out a deep breath as he turned around and rejoined the men in the other room with the kids.

Dave put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "give her some time son", Derek said, "she can have all the time that she needs, I'm not going to rush her". Hotch said, "she loves you and the love you to share will be what brings her through this, just let her know that you're here for her".

Derek nodded his head and said, "always man, always"
