The Wedding Date-Ch 36
JJ was just finishing up on Penelopes hair when they all heard someone knock on the door, Emily said, "I'll get it" as she crossed the room and opened the door. She stepped aside and said, "come on in Payton", he stepped around her and said, "ohhh P you look beautiful", she stood up and rubbed her stomach and said, "thanks Pay".
He walked over to her and gently pulled her into his arms and kissed her cheek and said, "I just wish that momma and daddy could have been here to see you". She said, "me to Payton, me two", Fran said, "I believe that they are here today", Penelope said, "really"?, she said, "ohhh yes honey, just like I believe that James, Dereks father is here in spirit today to".
Shelly said, "they would be so proud of you and so happy for you and Derek", she took a deep breath and said, "is it time"?, Payton nodded his head and said, "it's time, are you ready"?, she said, "lead the way big brother, lead the way". Fran and the others kissed her on the cheek and then JJ and Emily helped her on with her veil before they made their way outside in the hall.
Payton said, "are you sure that you're alright"?, she said, "yeah, I'm fine, just nervous I guess", he held out his arm and said, "let's get you out to that man of yours and get you married". Penelope laughed and said, "ready when you are", they were both grinning as they stepped out into the hall to join the others.
Penelope stood and watched as Sarah, Desiree, Shelly, Emily and finally JJ made their way up to the front of the church, before she took the steps to get her in place to start her march she was hit with another pain. She winced and Payton said, "what's wrong"?, she said, "nothing, I'm fine".
Payton said, "Penelope Marie Garcia", she said, "fineeeeeee, I think I'm in labor", he said, "YOU WHAT"?, when everybody heard him Derek said, "something's wrong". JJ said, "I'll go check, she was fine just a few minutes ago", Derek watched as she ran to the back of the church and waited patiently to find out that everything was fine.
JJ said, "what's wrong"?, Payton said, "she thinks she's in labor", JJ said, "how long have you been having pains"?, she said, "since lastnight, as I was getting in bed I was hit with one pain and then it stopped". Payton said, "we need to stop this wedding", Penelope shook her head and said, "ohhhhhhh no, I'm going to marry Derek todayyyyyyyyyyy" as she was hit with another contraction.
Payton said, "we need to get Derek", JJ turned around and motioned for Derek, he stepped down and quickly made his way to the back of the church to his bride. He said, "what's wrong"?, JJ said, "she's in labor", Derek said, "WHATTTT"?, "Penelope said, "we need to get married now hotstuff, I want to be married before the baby comes".
He said, "but goddess", she said, "no butts, I want to be Mrs. Morgan before this little one is born", he said, "alright, I'll go and fill the minister and everybody up front in on what's happening". She nodded her head and said, "I love you", Derek said, "and I love you", he winked at her before turning around and heading back to the front of the church.
He took a deep breath and said, "we have a slight problem", the minister said, "what kind of problem"?, Derek said, "the bride is in labor in the back of the room". The minister said, "do you want to postpone the wedding"?, Derek said, "she wants to be married before the baby is born today".
He smiled and said, "alright we'll do a fast version so that way you can get her to the hospital", he nodded his head and said, "thank you", the minister smiled as he motioned for the music to begin again. When they heard the music start Payton said, "let's get you up there honey", she said, "okayyyyyyy" as another pain hit her.
After a few minutes they finally made it to the front and as Payton put her hand in Dereks she said, "ohhhhhhhh noooooo", Derek said, "what's wrong"?, she said, "MY WATER JUST BROKE".
