Team Dynamics-Ch 29

When everybody walked through the door at Fran and Daves Hank saw his dad and went running across the floor squealing, Derek scooped up the little boy and kissed his chubby cheek. Fran said, "well how did everything go"?, Derek said, "we were granted full custody", Dave said, "that's great news son, congratulations".

Derek said, "Hotch was awesome", Matt smiled and said, "so how did Savannah take it when she found out you were married"?, Penelope said, "well let's just say that she'll be spending the next couple of days in jail on contempt charges". Luke said, "sounds like she got what she deserved", Derek said, "yep she sure did".

Emily walked through to join the others in the living room and she said, "sorry that I couldn't make it this morning but my husband didn't wake me up". Hotch kissed her gently on the lips and said, "you were exhausted so I didn't wake you up", she said, "it's alright my love, the important thing is that Derek and Penelope got custody, permanent custody of Hank" causing everybody to nod their heads yes in agreement.

Matt said, "so now what"?, Derek said, "wellllllll me, Hank and baby girl are going to be heading out for a mini vacation/honeymoon", Hotch said, "so are me, Em and Jack". Dave said, "when are you guys leaving"?, Derek said, "well we need to pack so what baby girl, tomorrow"?, she said, "sounds good to me".

Fran said, "what about you Aaron, when are you guys leaving"?, he said, "probably tomorrow", Dave said, "well then since you'll be leaving us tomorrow today is a family day so who's ready to eatttttttt"?, Penelope said, "me me" causing Derek to laugh as he wrapped his arm around her as they headed through the house to the dining room.

As everybody sat eating the delicious food Fran, Sarah and Desi had prepared Penelope couldn't help but notice how much time Luke and Desi were spending together, she smiled and winked at Desi. Desi swallowed hard and cleared her throat and after whispering something into Lukes ear he said, "I have an announcement, well we have an announcement".

Everybody looked up at him as he intertwined fingers with Desi and said, "as you all know Desi and I have been dating for a while and well earlier today I asked this beautiful woman to be mine and she said, "yes". Desi held up her hand and everybody smiled and clapped their hands, Penelope, JJ, Sarah and Emily quickly threw their arms around her.

When they were through Fran said, "congratulations baby, I'm so happy for you, for you both", she then hugged Luke and said, "I know you love her and I know you'll take care of her". He nodded his head and said, "until the day I die Fran, I promise", Derek said, "good thing because if you hurt my baby sister their won't be a place on this earth you can hide".

Penelope playfully slapped Dereks shoulder and said, "congratulations Luke, I wish you and Desi all the happiness in the world", he hugged Penelope and said "thanks Garcia that means the world to us". Dave then raised his glass and said, "I'd like to propose a toast", everybody raised their glasses as he said, "to the newlyweds, congratulations and I wish you only the best of everything".

They smiled as he said, "I wish you all a life filled with love, joy, peace and happiness", he then looked at Luke and Desi and said, "and to our newly engaged couple, I know that the two of you are going to have an amazing life together and Fran and I can't wait to become grandparents". Penelope grinned and Derek said, "she's talking about us to" causing her to blush and then bury her head in his shoulder.

As the evening continued the family, laughed ate and had a wonderful time as the girls all started making wedding plans and the men all talked about honeymoon spots. Penelope glanced over and saw Hank peacefully sleeping in Daves arms and grinned, she said, "looks like somebody's missed his nonno", Fran said, "they've always had a special bond" causing everybody to smile.
