Dead Man Walking-Ch 29
On the day that Reid was to be released from the hospital Derek and Penelope walked into his hospital room hand in hand and walked over to his bedside. Reid grinned and said, "what can I do for you two lovebirds"?, Derek said, "we have something to ask you", Penelope smiled down at her dear friend.
He looked at them and said, "sure, you can ask me anything", Derek said, "we have, well it's more of a proposition for you pretty boy". JJ grinned as Reid said, "okay, so now you're buttering me up, how bad is this, it must be pretty bad if you're trying to butter me up like this".
Penelope took his hand in hers and said, "Reid will you do me the honor of being my best person"?, he looked at her and grinned. Derek then said, "and I hope that you will do me the honor of being my best man to because if it weren't for you I wouldn't have her in my life, if it weren't for you both Penelope and the baby would be gone".
Reid said, "wait, is that possible, is it possible for me to be both the best person for Garcia and the best man for Derek"?, Hotch walked into the room and said, "it sure is". Reid said, "wait, did you know about this"?, Hotch said, "yeah we all did and I think it's an amazing idea".
JJ nodded her head and said, "me to Spence", Reid took a deep breath and said, "I'd be honored to stand up for you both, absolutely honored". Derek and Penelope smiled and said, "thank you" in unison and stepped back so the nurse could bring the wheel chair into the room.
After he was handed his release papers Reid said, "okay so when is this wedding"?, Derek said, "it's later today, well that is if you're ready for it, do you think you can handle it if we do it today"?, Reid smiled and said, "I do, you have no idea how long I've waited, we've waited for the two of you to get married".
Derek looked at him and said, "probably as long as I've wanted to propose to her pretty boy", Penelope said, "and probably as long as I've dreamed of my chocolate Adonis". Reid laughed and shook his head and said, "alright then let's get this show on the road".
Everybody nodded their heads yes in agreement as they started following Reid out of the room, Hotch said, "I'll go bring one of the SUVs around and meet you at the front door". Derek looked at Penelope as they stepped onto the elevator and said, "are you ready to become Mrs. Morgan"?, Penelope wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "I've been ready since you called me Gomez".
JJ laughed and said, "okay so we know when the wedding is but we don't know where"?, Derek said, "in mommas back yard, we want a small, family wedding with the people we love surrounding us". JJ said, "awwww that sounds amazing", Penelope said, "we have the back yard ready, it looks great, I can't wait for you two to see it".
When they got outside Hotch was standing there with the door open, Reid grinned and said, "thank you", Hotch said, "any time Spencer, any time". JJ climbed in behind Reid and Derek and Penelope smiled and said, "we'll be right behind you", Reid nodded his head and said, "let's get you two hitched" and everybody laughed as they all pulled away from the hospital and headed toward Frans.
