Chapter 49 (thanks to my wonderful friend Beth, who if it wasn't for her help, this chapter would not have been possible.)

8 weeks later

Everyone at the BAU was very excited. Garcia and JJ both had their casts off and were doing just fine. Tomorrow would be a very special day. Morgan and Garcia were finally going to tie the knot. Not only that, they would be sharing the moment with Fran Morgan and David Rossi. After talking it over, they had decided on a double wedding. They had offered to share the moment with JJ and Reid but they had wanted to take things a little more slowly. JJ hadn't been divorced from Will all that long and so she and Reid didn't want to rush things. Morgan hadn't taken to the idea of Fran and Rossi getting married too well at first but he had a great respect for David Rossi and his mom was happy with him. In the end that was all that mattered. Morgan just wanted his mom to be happy.

Now they were all at the rehearsal dinner. The rehearsal had gone really well concidering two couples were getting married at the same time.

"Well Dave, Are you ready for the big day tomorrow?" asked Hotch.

"I think I am Aaron. I know my other marriages didn't work out but I am determined to make sure this one does. I love Fran with all my heart and as I am older and wiser now, I feel I'm more than ready to settle down. Don't worry though, you guys aren't losing me yet. Fran has a son who is a profiler and her first husband was a cop so she understands how it is and will be."

Hotch smiled and slapped him on the shoulder. "I'm glad you will be sticking around and I am really happy for you that you've found someone."

"I'm happy for you too, Aaron. Emily's a wonderful girl and you are both my family and you both deserve to be happy."

Meanwhile, the girls and Fran were having thier own conversation. JJ looked over at Emily. "Well, since you are already married...and didn't let us in on it. I say we all have a batchlerette party tonight."

Emily was shocked. "Hey, we didn't want to ruin PG's thunder."

"Yeah right my dark hair raven. You know I wouldn't have cared." She smiled.

"Bows the time just to have it all in one. You lady's have a good time." Fran stood up.

"Oh no mom! You're coming with us!"

"Yeah, I'm sure I can find us some strippers!" JJ teased.

Fran's eyes went wide. "Um, lady's, could we not?" She asked. "I'm an old lady, I don't think I could handle that." She smiled. "I want to wait to see another man until my honeymoon night."

Penelope smiled. "I think she's teasing. I really don't think strippers are good for this anyways. One married women, one that's just divorced, two that are getting married ones pregnant and ones a little older."

"Hey young lady! I'm not that old!" Fran joked with her and smiled.

"Sorry mom." Penelope hugged her. "So, anyways... I think we should have a girls night where we do our nails, and work on our hair and facials and stuff. Get ready for the wedding tomorrow."

"Now that, I can do." Fran hugged her back.

That evening, All the girls were super excited. Fran had hired a Limo to take them to a spa where they would get facials, pedicures and manicures.

"I am SOO excited! Thank you so much, Mom!" Squealed Garcia.

"I know," Said Blake, " This will be so much fun!"

"After the past couple of weeks, this is just what I need!" said JJ.

"Amen to that!" said Prentiss.

"You are most Welcome girls. I could use this relaxation myself!" Fran said smiling.

They all got into the Limo and left for a fun evening.

Meanwhile, The boys were having their own fun! They were at the club and Rossi bought everyone drinks and they talked about the following day.

"So Hotch, What's married life like?" Asked Morgan.

Hotch Smiled. "Well I have only been in this married life a couple of months but so far so good. And you got yourself a wonderful woman, so yours will be phenomenal I'm sure."

"You got yourself a great one too, Hotch. I am very happy for you."

"So,Reid, When are you and JJ gonna tie the knot?" Rossi wanted to know.

Reid nearly choked on his drink. "JJ and I haven't talked that far ahead yet. The Divorce has only been finalized for a couple of months. We both need time and so does Henry."

James Blake spoke up. "I think it's good that you aren't rushing into things. Marriage shouldn't be taken lightly." The others nodded in agreement. They had all seen either by experience or watching there friends on what can happen when a marriage is taken for granted. By the end of the evening, Rossi, James and Hotch were still sober but with Reid and Morgan it was a different story. Hotch drove Reid home and Rossi drove Morgan.

By this time, The women were all back at the house with Fran, doing each other's hair.

They looked up in shock when they heard the door open and a saw who it was.

"Hey Baby girl and freinds!" slurred Derek.

Garcia and Fran just stared at him in shock. So did JJ and Blake. Emily raised her eyebrows and said "Oh ,brother!"

JJ looked at Morgan in disgust and Rossi looks at her. "If You think this is bad, you should see yours."

JJ rolls her eyes and says. "You have GOT to be kidding me!"

Emily says. "Seriously, REID?!"

Rossi nodds and says, "Hotch is with him for now. Only Reid and Morgan actually got drunk."

JJ just rolled her eyes and said, "OK then. I'll go over and check on him tomorrow."

Blake says "It's a good thing this is an Evening Wedding!"

Garcia walked over to Morgan. "Chocolate God, I hope you had a great night and enjoyed it, because after we get married and our chocolate drop gets here, it's over with." She kissed him.

Morgan returned the kiss but was sloppy about it. "I love me baby girl." He hiccuped.

"Yeah, I love me too." She said and teased. "Come on stud, lets get you in bed."

Fran couldn't believe her son did something this stupid. She watched as Penelope took Derek up to bed. She looked over at Rossi. "Dave, thanks for not getting drunk. He's going to be miserable tomorrow."

Dave gave her a hug. "We where playing pool and darts. I didn't notice it until it was to late. I'm sorry." Kind of felt bad for not watching out for her son.

"Well, it does sound like you had a good time. Derek should have known better then to have gotten drunk. I will have him up early though. Hoping he over comes it." She hugged him back. "Thanks for making sure he got home safely. You should head home and get some rest. We all have a big day tomorrow." She smiled and kissed him.

"You're welcome honey. I will see you tomorrow. Have a good nights sleep." He hugged her. "Because I doubt either of us will get any sleep tomorrow night." He laughed.

"Dave!" She said laughed. "I love you."

"Love you too." He said and then looked at everyone else. "Night ladies."

"Night." They all said.

Hotch had helped Reid in unlocking his door and making it into his place. "I'm putting you in your bed with a garbage can next to it. But then you are on your own." He told Reid.

"Hanks ir." Reid said slurring his words.

"Now wonder why you don't get drunk." Hotch said and laughed. After he put Reid in the bed and did what he said. He made his way back to his house. Jessica was watching Jack tonight. He will pick him up in the morning.

Arriving home, Hotch sits on the couch and waits for Emily to come home. It wasn't long before he had fallen asleep.

The Women got back to there houses at about two in the morning. They were all exausted so JJ didn't wake up until about ten the next morning. She got out of Bed and took a shower. Then she went over to Reid's place to check on him.

It took him a few minutes to get to the door and when he did, JJ was Shocked at his appearence. She was kind of amused too. She chuckled at him and he scowled. "Wow. That's quite the Hangover you have there. How do you feel?"

Reid groaned. "Lousy!"

"I can imagine. I'll make you some coffee and you go take a shower. We have to get you sober by tonight. Pen has the same problem with Derek right now."

Reid went to do as told while JJ made the coffee. Once they had him in a decent condition, JJ left to go meet Pen and the other ladies at the hairdressers to get their hair done for the wedding. When they were all finished there, JJ went to go pick up Henry from Will's. After going home to get her dress and Henry's tux it was time to go to the restored Morgan house to get ready for the wedding.

Two hours later, everyone was seated in a beautifully decorated backyard, waiting for the couples to come out. Besides the team, the witnesses included Rossi's Marine brothers, Derek's aunt , his cousin Cindy and her son, his sisters, Desi and Sarah, and several of the members of Garcia's support group, including Monica. Even some of the members of Albert Morgan's Police force were in attendence.

The garden was full of flowers and gorgeous twinkling lights. JJ was helping Henry with his ring pillow and Emily was helping Jack with his. The boys were chosen to be the ring bearers for each couple. There would be no Maid of Honor or Best man for this wedding. Rossi was going to give Garcia away and Morgan was going to do the same for his mom.

At the back of the garden, Rossi squeezed Garcia's arm and said, "Are you ready,Kitten?"

Garcia smiled at him and said, "I've never been more ready, my Itallion Stallion. Derek is the love of my life and I am finally going to spend the rest of my life with him!"

A little further away, Fran Morgan kissed her son on the cheek. "You are getting a wonderful woman son. I know you will be truly happy together."

Derek smiled. "I know,Mama. I will spend my whole life making my Baby Girl happy. You are getting a terrific man yourself. I have all the respect in the world for Rossi and I can see he makes you happy. "

Then it was time for the wedding to start. Everyone took their places. The music started and the ring bearers walked slowly down the aisle. The two couples came next, Morgan and Fran in front followed by Rossi and Garcia.

The witnesses that hadn't helped the brides get ready were completely enthralled by the dresses. Garcia was in a strapless dress that had a black and pink lacy top with a bright pink fluffy skirt.

Frans was a light pink dress with a beaded belt and a flowy skirt. Each dress fit the personality of the bride that was wearing it perfectly, and they both looked amazing. When they reached the end of the aisles the minister asked who gave them to be wed. Morgan answered for his mom and Rossi answered for Garcia, "I, do."

Then Rossi put Garcia's hand in Morgan's and Morgan put Fran's hand in Rossi's. They said there vows one couple at a time and then Jack handed Fran and Rossi's rings to the minister. When the rings were blessed and put on Rossi and Fran's fingers, Henry turned Morgan and Garcia's rings over to the minister and they were blessed and put on their fingers. When this was completed, the minister turned to the witnesses and said, "I now present Mr and Mrs David Rossi And Mr and Mrs. Derek Morgan. you may now kiss your bride." He said as both couples did as told.

Everyone cheered and then all went out into the garden for the reception.

At the table JJ tapped her glass with a spoon to get everyone's attention.

"Well, It was kind of a bet in the office as to when, not if, you two were going to get together. I think everyone knew how you both felt about each other before you did. Pen, you are my best friend and I am so glad that you have found the one who makes you happy. Derek you are like a brother to me and it makes me happy to know you are happy. I love you both very much. May you always be as happy as you are at this moment." JJ had tears in her eyes when she finished and so did Pen.

Derek and Reid took their girls' hands while Hotch stood up. "I know from experience it isn't easy to find your sole mate. Especially more than once. Well, now Dave has finally found that one person. I wish you both all the happiness and love you deserve."

There were a few more speaches and then it was time for dancing. Morgan and Rossi danced with their brides most of the evening but also took turns

dancing with Emily, JJ and Blake. And also Sarah and Desi and Cindy and

Morgan's aunt,while Garcia and Fran danced with Hotch and Reid and James.

After about an hour, it was time to cut the cake. Then it was time for the tossing bouquet and garter. Garcia went first and JJ caught the bouquet and Morgan tossed the garter which Reid caught. Next it was Fran and Rossi's turn. Desi caught her moms bouquet. Everyone laughed and Hotch's eyes widened when Jack caught the garter. "NOT for MANY years!" said Hotch firmly and there was more laughter.

Jack looked at his dad, somewhat confused. "Can I at least take it to show and tell?"

Emily laughed. "Why don't we um, just keep it at home buddy ok?" She asked.

Jack nodded. "Ok mom." He said as he handed it to her.

Emily kissed his head as he went and played with Henry.

The night was nearly over for the two couples. Garcia and Fran went in to

change clothes and then came back out to join their new husbands. After hugs and kisses from their friends and families, the two couples left to start their new lives together.
