Vengeance Is Mine-Ch 29

A few hours later Penelope looked up and waved as her family except for Derek and Clooney were walking out into the hall, when they were gone he said, "baby we need to talk". She said, "about what angel fish"?, he grinned and said, "I love you like midnight loves the moon, you are the love of my life and I don't want to be apart from you another day".

Penelope said, "we're not apart, you're right here with me", he stood up and winced in pain as he pulled a small black box out of his pocket, he said, "I want to spend the rest of my life with you". She felt her heart racing, was he going to do what she thought he was going to do, was he going to ask her to marry him.

Derek said, "I can see us growing old together and watching as our family grows", he said, "I can see you pregnant with our children, I want to be there rubbing your swollen feet, carrying you stuff to eat, rubbing your back, everything, I want it all with you".Penelope said, "I want that to, I want everything with you".

Derek opened the box to reveal a beautiful diamond engagement ring and said, "Penelope Grace Garcia will you do me the honor of marrying me and spending the rest of our lives together"?, she smiled and nodded her head and said, "yes, yes". Derek pulled the ring out of the box and slid it onto her finger.

He then leaned in and said, "I love you", she said, "I love you to", he cradled her face in his hands and then leaned in and gently pressed his lips against hers in a passionate kiss. They pulled apart to the sound of hands clapping, Derek and Penelope looked at the door to see their family all standing there.

Derek said, "I thought you guys were leaving"?, Fran said, "we knew something was up soooooo", Penelope held up her hand and said, "Derek and I are getting marrieddddddd". Everybody walked back in and hugged the newly engaged couple, Fran said, "good, good, good, welcome to the family honey".

Dave kissed her cheek and said, "congratulations kitten", Reid smiled and said, "congratulations Garcia", Hotch said, "we couldn't be happier for you two". Derek said, "I almost lost her twice and I'm not taking any more chances", Penelope smiled and said, "is it okay if we take our time, I want to get my strength back and be able to walk up the aisle to you"?, Derek kissed her lips and said, "we can wait as long as you want just as long as you become my wife soon".

Penelope sighed happily and said, "don't worry my love it won't be to long, I don't know how much longer I can wait to become Mrs. Derek Morgan and mommy to Clooney". Clooney started barking and wagging his tail, Penelope said, "that's right buddy mommy and daddy are getting married".

Clooney looked from Penelope to Derek and kept wagging his tail, Penelope said, "after everything we've been through it feel so good to know that things are finally falling into place". Derek nodded his head and said, "everything from now on is going to be perfect for us, we are going to have a life filled with love, joy, happiness" and Fran said, "and babies, don't forget babies because I'm not getting any younger ya know"?, Derek laughed and said, "we know ma, we know" causing everybody to laugh and it was then that Derek leaned in and stole another kiss from his future bride, his baby girl, his Penelope.
