She Said No-Ch 37
JJ, Emily and Fran took their time with the bride so she wouldn't overexert, Mallory stayed close just so she could monitor Penelopes vitals while she was active. When everybody was through with the bride Penelope said, "what do you guys think"?, JJ said, "you look so beautiful".
Emily said, "PG you look stunning", Fran kissed her on the cheek and said, "you look like a princess", Mallory said, "you look great but how do you feel"?, Penelope said, "nervous but great". Mallory said, "that's normal trust me honey".
Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "after everything I've been through over the past few months it feels good to know that things are back to looking up for us". Fran said, "if anybody deserves it it's you and my baby boy".
Penelope grinned and said, "thanks Fran", she then looked at Mallory and said, "are you sure that this wedding is safe for the baby"?, Mallory nodded her head and said, "everything is looking good so just as long as you take everything slow and easy and don't have any stress you'll be fine".
Emily said, "how long will she be on bed rest and no stress"?, Mallory said, "for now it's gonna be at least a few months, maybe longer". Penelope said, "so even if I was physically able to have sex with Derek I couldn't, right"?, Mallory said, "I'm sorry but no, not right now".
Fran said, "my son loves you and it doesn't matter how long he will wait for you", Penelope said, "I'm definitely a lucky girl". JJ said, "it's Morgan that's the lucky one here", Emily laughed and said, "well ya know he's always had a way with the ladies" and they all started laughing.
Their laughter stopped when Dave knocked on the door, Fran said, "come in", the door opened and Dave stepped in and said, "are you ladies ready"?, Penelope said, "how do I look papa bear"?, he kissed her cheek and said, "beautiful kitten, you look beautiful but how are you and the little one doing"?, Penelope grinned and said, "good, nervous but good".
Mallory said, "I told her that as long as she takes thins slow and easy she'll do fine but I'm going to be there watching and monitoring her just to make sure we don't have any problems". Penelope hugged her and said, "thank you for everything you've done and will do for me and the baby".
Mallory grinned and said, "you are very welcome", she then stepped back and Dave said, "alright kitten let's get you married". Penelope nodded her head yes in agreement as everybody start getting into their places, Dave then looked at Penelope and held out his arm and said, "are you ready"?, she looped her arm through his and said, "lead the way papa bear" and he kissed her cheek before they started walking toward the very nervous Derek Morgan.
The closer she got to him the faster his heart was beating, he thought several times that it would burst out of his chest and fly across the room. Soon, thankfully her hand was in his and they turned to face the minister who smiled at the happy couple.
He said, "dearly beloved, we are gathered here today in front of God and these witnesses to join together Derek Michael Morgan and Penelope Grace Garcia in the bonds of holy matrimony". Derek gently squeezed Penelopes hand and smiled as he looked her lovingly into her eyes.
The minister said, "who gives this bride to her groom"?, Dave smiled and said, "we, her family do", the minister asked for the rings and then after a short prayer he readied to continue. He said, "Derek put this ring onto Penelopes finger and recite your vows to her".
He took the ring and put it on her finger and said, "Penelope, baby girl, you are the love of my life, the one woman that owns me, heart, body and soul and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you". She smiled and then turned to face the minister.
He said, "Penelope put this ring onto Dereks finger and then recite your vows", she nervously took the ring and slid it gently onto his finger and smiled. She said, "Derek, hotstuff, you are without a doubt the best thing that's ever happened to me".
She continued by saying, "I want to thank you for always being here for me, for loving me and for letting me love you and I can't wait to love you for the rest of our lives". The minister then said, "if their is anyone here that can show just cause why these two can't be lawfully joined, let them speak now or forever hold their peace".
After a few seconds he said, "by the powers vested in me by this state I now pronounce you husband and wife", he grinned and said, "Derek you may kiss your bride". Derek gently cupped her face in his hands and said, "I love you", she smiled and said, "and I love you" just seconds before their lips touched, thus cementing their lives together as husband and wife while their friends clapped their hands and squealed their congratulations.
