Luke came over and sat next to her on the bed.

"Baby, what is it?" Luke asked again.

Silently she handed him the paper. At the top was the state seal of New York in gold. It read as followed:

Certificate of Marriage

This is to certify that Luke Alvez

Residing at 1286 W Forest St Quantico VA and

Penelope Grace Garcia residing at 1205 W Sunset Way Quantico VA

Were married on April 21, 2019

By David Peno at Upper Manhattan Event Hall

42 N 7th St Manhattan, NY

Witnessed by Luna Vargas and Greg Hill

Luke Alvez Penelope Garcia

"Is this real?" Luke asked

"Looks to be because at the bottom is another seal and it's signed by the county clerk. I can't believe it. What are we going to do?!"

Luke put down the certificate

"First calm down Pen. Take a deep breath, that's it now another."

"How can you be so calm?"

"Well it's what you need right now. I don't want you to freak out or have a panic attack."

Penelope continued to take a few more deep breaths.

"How do you feel now?"

"A bit calmer" Penelope said

"Good, just remain calm."

"We're really married?"

"By the looks of this certificate we are husband and wife."

"What are we going to do?" Penelope asked

"What do you want to do?" Luke asked

"I'm not sure, still in a bit of shock."

"Okay, then I tell you what I want."

Penelope nodded her head up and down for him to continue.

"I want to stay married to you, be your husband. Deep down I knew shortly after we met you were it for me. I never really thought about having a marriage or family until I was with you. I feel like that you and I can have something similar to what my grandparents have. A long happy life together. Where we love each other and still have fun like annoying each other, our back and forth banter. As for family I would want to add to it and have fun doing it. I want that life with you and to be by your side forever."

Penelope had been tearing up and a few tears were now streaming down her cheeks. She was going to wipe them away but Luke was quicker.

"Oh Luke, te quiero mucho. I'm a Little nervous about it but I want that too. You're the love of my life. At the beginning I couldn't believe you wanted me. Being together you convinced me, my tall dark handsome knight."

"So, are we in agreement to stay married?" Luke asked

"Yes! The only thing is the team may not be too happy that they weren't there."

"We do have pictures. Besides they'll forgive us. Should we tell them when we get back?"

"When the time is right."

"Whatever you want mi amor. Do you feel better?"

Penelope answered with a warm loving smile and he took that as a yes. Luke gathered all the things off the bed and placed them on the nightstand. Then he turned to Penelope with a lustful desire filled look on his face. He leaned in, claiming her lips. Their kisses started out sweet but then became heated until they pulled apart for breath. Luke bent down and started kissing Penelope's neck and leading her to lay down.

"Baby?"

"Yeah" Luke said stopping his movement

"I want to change."

"It's our wedding night, I want to undress you."

"Well I have something else you would love taking off of me."

"Alright" Luke said as he kissed her again and moved allowing her to get up.

Penelope went, grabbed her luggage and went into the bathroom. While she was in there Luke began to take off his costume. 15 minutes passed

"Pen, you almost done?"

"Can't you be patient?"

"I am but waiting for you hermosa isn't always easy."

Just then Penelope comes out of the bathroom in a mid-thigh, spaghetti strap deep blue silk slip. Her cleavage was accentuated by intricate lace. Luke starred at her speechless in a pair of black boxers. She walked to him with an extra sway to her stride and stood in front of him. Luke looked her up and down her eyes had gotten darker.

"Oh mamacita, wow! You're right I'm going to enjoy taking this off."

He kissed her and they fell onto the bed. Penelope on her back and Luke above her. He picked up where he left off kissing Penelope's lips and neck. Then he pulls back, one of Penelope's hands is on his chest and the other is on the back of his neck. Where her fingers are playing with his hair.

"I love you" Luke says looking down at her.

"I love you too. Luke make love to me." Penelope gives him a soft kiss on his lips.

"Yes, mi reina."

After removing their last few items of clothing, they make love through out the rest of the night.

The next morning the sun was already shinning thru the curtains. Luke was lying on his back and Penelope cuddled up beside him with her head on his shoulder and hand over his heart. Luke felt Penelope moving and starting to wake.

"Good morning Mrs. Alvez."

"Good morning Mr. Alvez." Penelope said and turned to look at him. Then he kissed her good morning. She smiled and Luke pushed strands of her hair behind her ear.

"What time is it?" Luke asked

"8:45am"

"Finally got to sleep in. I look forward to waking up like this for the rest of my life."

"In a hotel, that would be very expensive."

Luke laughed – "No not that chica, I mean having you by my side."

"That will happen on all the days that you're not out on a case."

"I'll miss you desperately when I'm out on a case with the team. Good thing is we have a video chat."

"Yeah, what time do you want to head out to your grandparents?"

"How about we aim to leave here at 11:30?"

"Alright."

"You know you should take advantage of that jet spa tub and take a relaxing hot bath."

"That sounds nice, what would make it better is if you joined me" Penelope said.

"It's very tempting but I know that if I do we won't get out of here on time. Besides I need to call my grandparents and let them know when we'll be over."

"Okay, we'll have more chances to come" Penelope said as she got up from the bed and headed to the bathroom.

Luke watched her glorious bare form before she closed the door. He then called his grandparents letting them know they would be over around noon. After that he placed another call when he heard the water turn on in the bathroom.

"Room service, how can I help you?"

"Hi, could I please get two Belgium waffle combos." Luke said

"How would you like the eggs on those?"

"Scrambled for both."
"Those come with two sausage links or two strips of bacon."

"Could I get one of each?"

"Yes, for both?"

"Yes. Plus, two cups of coffee and two mimosas. My new wife and I are celebrating."

"Oh newlyweds, congrats."

"Thanks, how long for the food?"

"It'll be up in twenty minutes."

"Great! Thanks." Luke said and hung up the phone.

Meanwhile at Flor and Ricardo's house…

"Mi amor, who was on the phone?" Ricardo asked

"It was Luke letting us know that he and Penelope will be here around noon. I thought for lunch I would make beef empanadas and arroz con gandules."

"Sounds great, is there anything you need me to do?"

"No thank you, I made the filling yesterday. The rest should be easy. I can't believe they're leaving today. Their stay went by so fast."

"Flor, what's the matter?"

"Just a bit down, I wish they were staying longer."

"I know but they have work to get back to. I'm happy seeing them together. They are a good match. Luke told me he feels like she's the one. He's thinking about marriage and a family."

"Really! Penelope told me something similar – she said Luke is the love of her life and had started thinking long term." Flor said

"I think marriage is not that far away".

"I really hope so, I'd love to spoil a future great grandbaby. Imagine if they had a baby and they moved here. That would be really nice."

"It would. At the same time let's not think that far ahead in case things don't turn our that way. Granted I'd like for Luke to be closer but in the end it's up to them. I don't think they're even living together yet."

"You're right."

"No matter what happens we can always go visit them in Virginia."

"Very true carino" Flor said

Back at the hotel…..

Penelope had just walked out of the bathroom in a white fluffy robe. Luke was sitting on the bed with he tv on. Penelope then noticed the room service cart.

"You ordered room service?"

"Yes, for my gorgeous wife and myself". Luke said with a smile.

She walked over to him, took his face into her hands and kissed him. Luke began to return the kiss. He moved, wrapped his arms around her waist and stood up in attempt to deepen the kisses. After a bit they pulled back from each other, smiling. Even though Luke didn't want to let her go he did. Going to get the cart then pushing it over to the bed where Penelope was sitting. He stopped it right in front of her then sat next her, removed the lids and revealed the food.

"Mmm.. great choice." Penelope said looking at the food

"Here you go" Luke said. He handed her a flute which she took.

"Mimosas?"

"Yes, we are celebrating."

"I love it!"

"I love you forever."

"I love you forever too" Penelope said

Then they started to eat at a leisurely pace not wanting to rush it. By 10:30am they started getting ready and packing up their luggage.

"You know my love this has been the best vacation I've ever had" Penelope said

"Me too! Hey, I want to tell my grandparents our news. How do you feel about that?"

"I'd be happy to tell them! How do you think they'll react?"

"They'll probably be very happy for us. I wouldn't be surprised if my grandmother starts asking us about"

"Baby Alvez(s), I wouldn't put it past her either."

Both of them start laughing.

"Oh, I have something for you."

"Really?" Penelope asked

"Yes, I hadn't decided when to give it to you. Now is as good as anytime especially since you're my wife now."

"I love the sound of that hubby of mine."

Luke dug into his luggage, pulled out a bag and handed it to Penelope. She opened it and pulled out a purple shirt seeing what was printed on it. There was a Batman logo in the middle above and below it said training to be Batman's wife.

"Oh, this is awesome!"

"I thought you would like it."

"I don't need any training because I'm already your wife Batman."

"That you are."

"Thank you" Penelope said then kissed him.

Penelope packed away her gift and zipped up her luggage. As did Luke who then did a last check thru the room to make sure they weren't forgetting anything.

"All good, ready?"

"Yes" answered Penelope

They headed hand in hand to the elevator and went down to the lobby. Once there Penelope let go of Luke's hand.

"I'll go check us out and you can go flag down a cab."

"Sure thing chica."

After Penelope dropped off the keys at the front desk she walked out to the front. Luke already flagged down a cab and was in the process of putting the luggage in the trunk. It was a bright Sunday morning. Penelope got into the cab followed by Luke giving the driver the address. The driver started the meter and began driving.
