Christmas Wooing Morgan Style-Ch 23
A few hours later everybody woke up to the sounds of Jack and Henry squealing, "SANTA CAME, SANTA CAME" and the sound of feet running down the stairs, Penelope kissed Derek on the lips and said, "Merry Christmas my vision". Derek wrapped his arms around her and kissed her passionately and said, "good morning goddess".
She said, "we better get downstairs so Jackers and Henry can start opening their gifts", he nodded his head and said, "let's get this party started then gorgeous" as they got up and headed downstairs to join the others. By the time all of the gifts were open Henry and Jack and everybody else got everything they had asked for and they were quietly playing with their toys in the corner of the living room while the adults started cleaning up all of the wrapping paper that was all over the place.
Derek smiled as he looked across the room at his baby girl laughing and talking to Desi, he still couldn't believe that Penelope was his, that she loved him as much as he loved her. She looked over at him and winked causing him to grin back at her, Desi said, "love looks good on you Penelope and if anybody deserves it it's you and my brother".
Penelope hugged her future sister- in- law and said, "thanks Desi, Merry Christmas", Desiree said, "Merry Christmas P, Merry Christmas", a few minutes later when the room was back to normal Fran said, "alright ladies it's time to get into the kitchen and get our dinner ready". Derek pulled his bride- to- be into his arms and said, "Merry Christmas goddess", she said, "Merry Christmas angel fish" as she leaned in and crashed her lips against his.
It wasn't long before the aroma of a delicious dinner started filling the air, while the women were in the kitchen cooking Derek and Reid were helping by setting the tables in the dining room. Hotch and Dave sat and watched Henry and Jack as they played with their toys, Clooney and Mudgie by the fireplace.
Hotch looked at Dave and said, "Derek and Penelope are so happy", Dave nodded his head and said, "and don't you think it's about time"?, Hotch nodded his head and said, "I definitely do, I didn't think I'd ever see this day". Dave said, "me either but thankfully they finally pulled their heads out of their butts and got things right" as their attention then went to the two little boys playing with their trucks on the floor.
Reid looked at Derek and said, "I'm so happy for you Morgan, you and Garcia make an amazing couple", Derek said, "thanks pretty boy that means a lot coming from you" as he pulled the younger man into a hug. Derek sighed happily and said, "she's my world, I'd be lost without her, she's the other part of my heart", Reid said, "she feels the same way about you" causing Derek to grin as they put the finishing touches on the tables.
It wasn't long before Fran said, "dinner is served", everybody started heading to the dining room tables, when they saw all of the food they were in awe of the food that was sitting in front of them. Henry said, "yummmmmmmm" as he rubbed his tummy and Jack said, "wowwwwwww" causing Hotch to laugh as everybody sat down in their seats.
Dave said, "before we enjoy this delicious food I'd like to say something", everybody looked at him as he said, "this Christmas is the best I have seen in a long time, it has brought us all together safe and sound and it's given us a new couple in Derek and Penelope". He grinned and said, "and in a few short days they are going to be married and who knows maybe by this time next year we could have another member or two in our family" causing Fran to grin.
Penelope intertwined fingers with Derek as Dave said, "we are truly blessed to all be together on this most blessed of holidays so how about we enjoy this delicious food and then spend some time laughing and talking and just enjoying each other like a family should". He raised his glass and said, "to family" and everybody raised their glasses and said, "TO FAMILY" before they started digging in to the delicious food that surrounded them on the huge table.
They all then spent the next several hours laughing, talking and eating as they enjoyed their Christmas together as a family, it was going on 8 when the families started gathering their things together to head home. Derek and Penelope were the last two to head out, Penelope hugged Dave one final time and said, "thank you for everything papa bear", he said, "anything for you kitten" causing her to smile brightly.
Derek wrapped his arm around her and said, "ready to head home goddess"?, she said, "lead the way handsome, lead the way", Fran walked them to the door and hugged them both and said, "Merry Christmas" as they started down the sidewalk. They turned and said, "Merry Christmas", Fran stood in the door smiling and waving until the car carrying her son and future daughter in law pulled away from the house and disappeared down the driveway.
She then shut the door and walked back over to her husband and said, "you ready to turn in mu love"?, he said, "it's been a long day and I'm ready to rest", she kissed his lips passionately and said, "who said anything about resting"?, he said, "Bellaaaaaaaa" as he kissed her lips, when they pulled apart she intertwined their fingers and said, "the night is young my love, the night is young" as she led him toward the staircase that led to their bedroom.
A few minutes later Derek and Penelope stumbled through Derek's front door, Derek kicked the door shut and pulled away long enough to lock the door and set the alarm before picking his baby girl up and carrying her upstairs. When he walked into the bedroom Penelope said, "have I told you how much I love you today, handsome"?, he grinned at her and said, "I believe you have, sweetness but I never tire of hearing it".
She placed a soft, loving kiss to his lips and said, "I love you so much, I'd be lost without you", he smiled against her lips and said, "you're stuck with me forever and ever baby girl, you're never getting rid of me". She laughed and said, "I'm going to hold you to that", he kissed her lips as he slid her skirt down over her hips and said, "please do sweetness, please do".
Soon all of their clothes were laying puddled up on the floor and they were laying wrapped in each others arms making out like a couple of teenagers, not being able to wait any longer Derek climbed between her legs and said "I love you baby girl, Merry Christmas". She said, "I love you to hotstuff, more than anything else in this world, Merry Christmas" and seconds later they both moaned in pleasure as Derek thrust himself inside her.
They made love several times that night before giving in to exhaustion as the sun was coming up
