Christmas Wooing Morgan Style-Ch 24
The next few days flew by and soon it was the 28th, the day they were all flying to Vermont on Dave and Frans jet and everybody was so excited especially the bride and groom Derek and Penelope. As everybody climbed onto the jet and took their places the air was filled with laughter and conversations about wedding and honeymoon plans.
Penelope sighed happily as Derek wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek and said, "I love you", she said, "I love you too, sugar" causing he to grin as they settled back into their seats. Dave said, "alright guys who's ready for an amazing time"?, everybody said, "meeeeeee" as the jet once again filled with laughter.
A few minutes later the jet was making its way down the runway and as they lifted off Penelope intertwined fingers with Derek and sat back smiling as they looked around the jet at their family. The flight didn't take long and soon they were landing at the landing strip a couple of miles away from their destination.
They all walked off of the jet and headed toward their waiting cars, after loading their luggage into the back of the cars they all set out toward their home for the next few days. As they pulled up in front of the main building they climbed out of the car and saw a man and woman standing there talking to Dave.
When they all gathered around Dave said, "family, I'd like for you to meet the owners of this amazing place Chad and Aimee and guys this is my family, this is my wife Fran, her daughters and my step daughters Sarah and Desiree". They smiled and Dave said, "and this is the future bride and groom Derek and Penelope, now Derek is my step son too".
He then looked at the rest of the gang and said, "this is Aaron Hotchner and his lovely wife Emily and their son Jack and this is Spencer and Jennifer Reid and their son Henry". Chad said, "welcome guys, we want you to make yourself at home, you are free to go anywhere on the grounds you want to go while your here".
Derek said, "you have a lovely place here", Aimee said, "thank you, we want to do anything we can to make your day special", Penelope said, "it's so beautiful out here. the snow makes everything look so much more beautiful", Aimee said, "that's what drew us here" as she pointed to the mountains and beautiful trees that were surrounding them". Emily said, "when we saw your website we totally fell in love with this place".
Chad smiled and said, "good, good", Dave looked at his family and said, "alright, now I know you ladies will need to go wedding dress shopping and their is a huge city about 15 to 20 minutes south, so finding a dress shouldn't be a problem". Aimee looked at everybody and said, "alright, if you'll follow us we'll show you the area where you will be staying".
As Chad and Aimee showed the large family around she said, "we have plenty of room here, she pointed around and said, "we have 2 kitchens, 10 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms here, so that's plenty of room and of course the little house right there" as she pointed to the smaller house she said, "that is where the honeymooners will be staying after they get married on New Years Eve".
She said, "and right there" as she pointed to where the wedding would be taking place she said, "that is where the bride and groom will be saying their vows", Derek said, "wow, this place is amazing". Chad grinned and said, "we're glad that you like it" and Aimee said, "and we have 3 different bridal suites so that the bride and her wedding party can be pampered before the wedding".
JJ smiled and said, "wow, this place has everything", Aimee grinned happily and said, "the kitchens are fully stocked with everybodys favorites, so please go make yourself at home and if you need anything please let us know". Penelope said, "when will we be able to decorate for the wedding"?, Aimee said, "today is the 28th and the wedding is the 31st, sooooo how about we start on the 30th that way you can get some pampering in and enjoy your surroundings first"?, Penelope said, "sounds good to me".
Dave looked at Chad and Aimee and said, "thanks again guys for getting us in so fast", Chad said, "not a problem Dave and while you're here please enjoy everything and if their is anything we can do to make your stay here more pleasurable, please just let us know", he nodded his head and said, "thanks we will" as they all walked through the doors of the huge building to get settled in to their rooms.
About an hour later Derek and Penelope had decided to take a walk to look around at the beautiful scenery while the others were either outside watching the boys play in the snow or sitting and enjoying their surroundings. Derek sighed happily as he wrapped his arm around his baby girl as they walked toward the trees at the end of the beautiful field.
Penelope took a deep breath and said, "it's so beautiful here handsome", he kissed the top of her head and said, "yeah it is baby girl and in a few days you're going to be Mrs. Derek Morgan, can you believe it"?, she laughed and said, "no, no I really can't believe it". She turned to face him and he said, "well, goddess, you had better believe it because we're going to be together for the rest of our lives, it's you that I want to grow old with, have children with, wake up to every morning, fall asleep with, it's you, it's always been you".
She said, "it's always been you handsome, always" as she leaned in and pressed her lips against his in a passion filled kiss, when they pulled apart Derek said, "are you getting nervous yet"?, she said, "a little but that's normal, right"?. he said, "from what I hear yes, yes it is". Penelope said, "soon you're going to be mine forever", Derek kissed the end of her nose and said, "I've always been yours baby girl I just needed you to claim me".
Penelope smiled and said, "well then handsome I'm staking my claim, you're mine", he wrapped his arms around her and said, "and you're mine" as his lips descended on hers.
