Christmas Wooing Morgan Style-Ch 25
The next morning after breakfast Penelope and the other women all headed to town for dress shopping, they were so excited about the upcoming wedding and couldn't wait to get started with the arrangements. Finding dresses for JJ and Emily didn't take long as both women had decided on a knee length light peach colored dress
Penelope clapped her hands and said, "you two look beautiful", Emily said, "thanks PG", JJ said, "yeah thanks, Garcie" as they both twirled around for Fran and the girls to be able to get a good look at their dresses. Fran said, "you two look amazing", Sarah said, "that color looks so good on both of you", Desi said, "it does, it definitely does", JJ and Emily grinned and then turned around and headed back into the dressing room to change.
Fran looked at Penelope and said, "do you know what style of dress you want honey"?, Penelope said, "I've always dreamed of a beautiful long, princess style dress Fran". She turned around and said, "I know it's silly but" and Desi said, "no mam it isn't silly, this is your dream wedding and you should have what you want" causing Penelope to grin.
As JJ and Emily walked back out to join the others Penelope said, "alright girlies let's get our shopping Jones on shall we, we need to find this oracle a wedding dress", they all smiled as they turned around and headed toward the wedding dresses. Penelope had tried on several before her eyes lit up, she said, "ohhhh this is it, this is it".
Fran said, "well honey go try it on", Penelope took the dress into her hands and said, "I'll be right back" and headed toward the dressing rooms to change into what she knew was going to be her dress. When she walked out a few minutes later everybody gasped, she said, "what, is something wrong with the dress"?, Fran said, "oh Penelope, honey you look stunning".
JJ said, "breathtaking Garcie", Emily said, "you look amazing", Sarah nodded her head and said, "like a princess", Desi said, "you look like Cinderella, you look beautiful Penelope" causing the bride- to- be to smile. Penelope then twirled around and said, "I can't wait to get married to Derek, he's the man I've dreamed about being with since he called me Gomez by mistake all of those years ago".
Fran said, "well trust me sweetheart the feeling was mutual", Desi said, "yep and every time he would come home for a visit it would be my baby girl this and my baby girl that". Sarah said, "it's good to see my baby brother so happy, to see you both so happy and if anybody deserves it Penelope it's you and Derek" as she pulled Penelope into her arms for a loving sisterly hug.
After changing back into her other dress Penelope looked at the girls and said, "alright who's ready to grab a light lunch before we head back"?, everybody said, "meeeeeee" causing Penelope to laugh as they headed back toward their waiting limo. As they climbed into the back seat Penelope said, "now don't forget ladies we are all getting pampered with massages, mani, pedi's and facials".
Sarah said, "ohhh sounds niceeeeeee", Desi said, "and your bridal suite is gorgeous", Penelope said, "all three rooms were so so beautiful but I felt more comfortable in that one, does that make sense"?, Fran said, "it does sweetheart, it does" as their limo pulled away from the curb. After enjoying a delicious brunch and finding shoes for everybody the 6 ladies all climbed back into their limo and headed back to join the men for an evening of dancing, laughing and spending time together as a family.
The next day was the 30th and while the women were getting their pampering the men were helping with decorating for the wedding, as Penelope laid on her stomach getting her massage she said, "ohhhhh this feels so good, almost heavenly". Emily said, "forget about almost, it is heaven PG", JJ said, "I'm with her Garcie, this is heaven", Sarah laughed and said, "yepppp, totally" and Desi and Fran just nodded their heads and moaned their agreement.
As the day was drawing to a close Derek and Penelope shared one final kiss before the men pulled him away, they had agreed to stay apart the night before the wedding to build up the suspense for their honeymoon. Penelope smiled and said, "good night, my love", Derek said, "good night, baby girl", as he walked toward the door she said, "I love you", he turned around and said, "I love you too, angel".
Penelope said, "I'll see you tomorrow, I'll be the one in the white dress", he laughed and said, "I'll be watching for you", she giggled and said, "sweet dreams, angel fish, sweet dreams", he said, "ohhhh they will be because I'll be dreaming about you, sweetness". Hotch said, "alright come on Romeo, let's get you out of here", Derek laughed and said, "goodnight, baby", she waved again and said, "goodnight, my love" as she watched him being dragged from the door by Reid, Hotch and Dave.
The women spent the evening laughing and talking as they helped Penelope enjoy her last night of being an unmarried woman, they all finally turned in around 2 to get some rest because they knew that not only was tomorrow New Years Eve but it was Penelope and Dereks wedding day. When Penelope opened her eyes the next morning she smiled and raised up and stretched and said, "today's my wedding day, today I'm marrying Derek Morgan" as she threw the covers back and climbed out of her bed and made her way to join the others.
Fran smiled and said, "morning, honey", Penelope said, "morning guys", Fran placed a plate of chocolate muffins down on the table and said, "alright, now, I know that you probably don't want to eat this morning but you really need to eat something because this is going to be a long day". Penelope picked up one of the muffins and said, "I'm not crazy I'm not turning down one of Fran Morgans chocolate muffins" as she took a bite and grinned.
JJ said, "alright, so the wedding is a few hours away so after breakfast me and Em will get dressed and then we'll all help you get ready", Penelope nodded her head and said, "sounds good my super friends" causing everybody to smile as they continued eating their breakfast.
