Luke stirred and sat up on the couch.

"You okay?"

"Yeah, that was JJ they caught the unsub."

"Great, now I think I need my not so nice nurse."

"What!? You heard?"

"I only pretended to still be asleep. So I really changed your mind about marriage and got thru your armor?"

"Yes"

"It was all completely worth it. So, JJ was trying to get details on our wedding."

"It's just the beginning she's no going to give up. The others will probably start up too. I know it wouldn't stay on the down low."

"We did enjoy it though." Luke said with a smile and a wink. Which caused Penelope laugh.

Luke continued - "I have an idea how about this weekend we have the team over and we can tell them about the wedding."

"Sort of like a small reception."

"Yeah, what do you think?"

"It's a good idea plus it give us time to prepare for the boatload of questions. We'll now be able to put out our wedding photos here and at our desks."

"I look forward to displaying our photos, another way to shows we're together. What type of food would you like to have?" Luke asked.

"How about we buy trays of street tacos from El Barrio Café. We could do shrimp, al pastor and carne asada."

"I'm good with that. If you're feeling up to it could you make besitos de coco. I'll help."

"You just want to bake au natural. Well except with aprons for safety purposes. You have been good with your recovery; I might be able to arrange that."

Luke smiled – "I'm going to see what I can make us for dinner."

He then got up and started to head to the kitchen.

"Mi amor, can you please check to see if we have ice cream."

"Sure" Luke then walked over to the fridge. "We have chocolate chip cookie dough."

"That's perfect for dessert." Penelope said

"How does tortilla crusted tilapia and sautéed broccoli sound?"

"Delicious"

"Okay it'll be done in about a half hour."

As Luke cooked Penelope continued to work on her laptop. She had almost finished up when Luke let her know dinner was ready. Penelope walked over and sat down at the table as Luke placed the plates down and took his seat. They ate and decided on a few more details for the weekend. Such as they would have the team over on Saturday afternoon. Penelope had quickly made an invite that she sent out. Inviting the team to a sort of reception celebrating their marriage. About five minutes later she started receiving responses from everyone confirming they were coming. Once dinner was finished Luke had started cleaning up.

"Oh, I can do that" Penelope said

"No, you finish your paperwork all I have left to do is load the dishwasher."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, the sooner you get done the sooner we can relax. Maybe take a hot bath before getting into bed."

"You convinced me." Penelope said as she hurried over to her laptop to finish.

It only took her 15 minutes to finish up and save the files. They made their way to their bathroom undressed, shared a hot bath and some love. After they snuggled up in bed and fell asleep in each other's arms. The next few days were filled by relaxing and preparing for Saturday. It was now the day before and Penelope had a plan for Luke. They had finished breakfast and Luke went to go shower. Penelope took the opportunity to get things ready in the kitchen and herself. Setting up all the ingredients and materials then quickly headed to the bedroom to strip to the bare minimum. She then put on the apron and quickly ran to the kitchen because she heard the water being shut off. Two minutes later she heard the door open.

"Hey Luke, when you're done come to the kitchen, I need some help."

"Sure hermosa"

He then put on some shorts, a t-shirt and walked to the kitchen. When he goes there, he immediately stopped in his tracks. There was his beloved wife in only an apron with her hair pulled into a bun.

"So, are you going to help?"

"You don't have to ask me twice." Luke said, stripped and tied an apron around his waist. Then went towards Penelope who had a mixing bowl on the counter ready to start mixing the batter for the besitos de coco.

"Alright let's get started." Penelope said as she started adding the ingredients into the bowl.

"Absolutely." Luke then stood behind her, reaching for the spoon to help her mix.

Each had a hand on the spoon, after about a minute later he moved his hand up and was running it up and down her arm. Wrapping his left arm around her waist moving right up to her. As Penelope continued to mix Luke was kissing her neck. While his right hand caressed her chest. Then he slightly lifts his head

"How's that for helping?" Luke asks

Penelope laughs – "Mmm…that's a start."

Penelope continues to mix the dough as Luke's hands traverse her curvaceous body. The dough is finished ready to be rolled out into balls and placed on a cookie sheet.

"It kills me to say this, but can you help roll the dough." Penelope says

"Sure" Luke says.

Then he begins to roll out the dough into balls and placing them on the baking sheet. When he would place the cookies on the sheet, he would also place a kiss on Penelope. Being her neck, cheek, shoulder or on her lips. Once they had three cookie sheets full, they started to place one at a time to bake in the oven. Luke stuck the first one in, set the timer then walked to Penelope. He took her hand and begun to lead her to the couch.

"We have to clean up." Penelope said

"That can wait."

Luke then pulled her over to the couch, once they cuddled up on it, he picked up where they left off. They were enthralled in a hot and heavy make out session when the timer went off. Luke pulled back some – "I better get those."

"What!?"

"Chica, we can't let them burn."

"Of course, but as soon as the batch is in you get right back over here."

That on again off again continued for the next hour. By the end they had plenty of cookies. The rest of the afternoon was spent getting everything ready for party slash reception. Luke and Penelope took a shower and turned in for the night.
