Rescuing Of Innocence-Ch 28

After Penelope was through showing Marsha around she smiled as she was asked, "Penelope, how long have you lived here"?, Penelope said, "last night was the first night but I hope that by the end of the week to be fully moved in here with my fiancée". Marsha nodded her head yes and smiled.

Tracey ran into the room with Reid and Penelope said, "hello my loves" and Reid laughed and said, "Garcia lunch is ready if you and Marsha would like to join us out in the backyard". Penelope said, "what about it Marsha would you like to join us"?, Marsha said, "I'd love too, thank you very much" as they followed Reid and Tracey back outside.

Over the next hour or so the family laughed, talked and ate and soon it was time for Marsha to head back to her office, she smiled and thanked everybody for inviting her and waved as she walked back inside the house with Derek and Penelope right behind her. As she opened the door she said, "todays visit went well Penelope, I see no problems with Traceys living conditions, I'll send my report in to the director".

Derek said, "so what happens now"?, Marsha said, "now you, Penelope and Tracey can get settled into your home and start your lives together and I'm sure you're going to be busy since you have a wedding to plan". Derek wrapped his arms around Penelope and said, "and I can hardly wait to make this beautiful woman my wife".

Penelope smiled and said, "I feel the same way handsome, I can't wait to marry you", Marsha smiled down at Tracey and said, "it was nice to meet you Tracey". The little girl smiled and said, "fank you, nice to meet you too" as the little family stood there watching as Marsha headed down the sidewalk and climbed into her car.

After Marshas car disappeared out of sight Derek said, "well that sounded good", Penelope nodded her head and said, "it really did, it sounded like all of this will be over soon". Derek leaned in and kissed her lips gently and said, "I love you baby girl, I love you with all of my heart", he looked down when he felt Tracey tugging on his shirt.

He picked her up and said, "yes little one", Tracey looked at Derek and said, "wha bout me daddy"?, Derek tapped the end of her nose and said, "daddy loves you too, you are my princess". She giggled and said, "momma, daddy said me a pwincess" and Penelope said, "yes, yes he did, you are mine and daddys beautiful little princess".

She squirmed in Dereks arms and said, "yayyyyyy, me pwincess, me gots to go tell Henwy and Jack", Derek put her down and then wrapped his arms around Penelope as they watched Tracey run outside. They laughed as she said, "mommy and daddy said me was a pwincess" and Reid said, "they did"? and Tracey said, "uh huh" and Reid picked her up and kissed her cheek and said, "well then hello princess Tracey",

Everybody smiled as Tracey put one hand on each side of Reids face and said, "I lub you unca weed", Reid said, "awwww and uncle Reid loves you too sweetheart". She threw her arms around his neck and laid her head on his shoulder and patted his back and said, "poreber and eber"? and Reid said, "forever and ever".

JJ smiled and snapped a picture of Reid and Tracey, she walked over and said, "Henry and Jack are getting ready to have cookies, would you like some cookies"?, Tracey said, "yayyyyyyy cookies, me lubs cookies". Reid put her down and said, "well then go get some cookies" and the little family stood watching as Henry, Jack and Tracey crawled up in the swing beside Emily and Hotch and started eating their cookies.

Fran walked over to Derek and Penelope and said, "so how did Marsha say things went"?, Derek said, "so far so good momma, so far so good" and Fran grinned and said, "alright now that we've got that visit over, what comes next"?, Penelope said, "now we start planning our wedding", Fran rubbed her hands and said, "sounds good to me, I can't wait to have another daughter".

Penelope hugged Fran and said, "thank you Fran, that means the world to me" and Derek stood smiling as his mom and future bride walked over to join JJ, Emily and the other women to start making the wedding plans. Derek sighed and winked over at Penelope and mouthed the words "I love you", Penelope blew him a kiss and mouthed them back before turning her attention back to the wedding plans.

While the women were getting things started Derek and the other men sat and watched as the kids ate cookies and then started playing as they started chasing Clooney around the yard. Dave looked at Derek and said, "it looks like everything is falling into place son" and Derek said, "it is Dave, it truly is and soon I'm going to have the love of my life as my wife and we'll have our daughter and then everything will be perfect".

Hotch smiled and said, "if anybody deserves it Morgan it's you and Garcia", Derek smiled and said, "thanks bossman, that means a lot coming from you" as their attention then went back to the playing children.
