Rescuing Of Innocence-Ch 35

Derek and Penelope smiled as they walked into the reception hall, as they stepped through the door they were met by the sounds of hands clapping and cheers and the sound of the DJ saying, "let's give it up for the newlyweds". Derek pulled his wife into his arms and said, "I love you Mrs. Morgan", she winked at him and said, "I love you too Mr. Morgan" as he claimed her lips with his in a passionate kiss.

Fran smiled happily as she watched her son and daughter-in-law, Dave wrapped his arms around his wife and kissed her on the cheek and said, "you look happy Bella". She looked over her shoulder and said, "I'm so happy and do you know why"?, Dave said, "because you're married to me"?, she giggled and said, "well yes that too but I'm happy because my children and family are happy", Dave grinned and said, "I love you Mrs. Rossi", she winked at him and said, "I love you too Mr. Rossi" as she turned in his arms and kissed him.

They pulled apart to the sound of the DJ saying, "we're going to start with the first dance of the bride and groom", Derek smiled and said, "shall we wife"?, she wrapped her arms around him and said, "yes we shall husband" as he led her to the center of the room and pulled her closer to him.

As the music started she said, "awwwwww, handsome, you remembered"?, he said, "of course I did, I do listen to you when you talk ya know"?, she said, "that I do my love, that I do" as they started dancing their way across the room to Lady by Kenn Rogers. Their family and friends watched on for a few minutes before the floor quickly became full of happy dancing couples.

Derek looked at Penelope and said, "I can't believe that you're finally mine", she said, "I've always been yours handsome, just waiting for you to realize it and stake your claim". He kissed her lips and said, "well now your mine and you will be mine forever and ever sweetness", she grinned and said, "forever is a great place to start", she then leaned in and gently pressed her lips against his.

As the reception continued the family laughed, talked and ate as a family, everything was perfect, everything from the flowers to the food to the still uncut wedding cake, everything was perfect. Fran smiled as she stood between her son and daughter-in-law and said, "it's time for you newlyweds to cut the cake".

Penelope said, "alright then let's get to cutting" and Derek laughed as he took his bride by the hand and led her to the table, they stood in front of the cake and each put a hand on the knife and as the knife slid down through the cake Penelope turned her head to the side and gently kissed her husbands lips.

When they pulled apart they put the piece of cake onto a saucer and then turned to face each other and everybody watched and weren't disappointed as Derek and Penelope took a bite of their cake and then smashed the rest of it all over each others faces. Pictures snapped and hands clapped as they watched the newlyweds laugh as they licked and kissed the icing off of each others faces.

Derek smiled and said, "I love you baby girl", she said, "and I love you handsome" as she kissed his lips, when they pulled apart she said, "I think it's time that you danced with our daughter, don't you"?, he said, "that I do" as he cleaned the rest of the icing off of his face before making his way over to Tracey.

He got down in front of her and said, "princess, would you like to dance with daddy"?, Tracey smiled and nodded her head yes and said, "yeahhhhhhhhh daddy" as she jumped into his arms. He carried her to the center of the floor and put her down and said, "now stand on daddy's feet", Tracey climbed onto the top of Dereks feet and grinned as she looked up at her daddy.

Picture after picture was snapped as the father/daughter dance continued, while Derek was dancing with Tracey Penelope was dancing with Henry and Jack. As the dancing continued Penelope danced with Reid, Hotch and Dave while Derek danced with Fran, his sisters, JJ and Emily before pulling his wife back into his arms.

As the celebration continued Derek and Penelope sat wrapped in each others arms stealing kisses, when they pulled apart Penelope leaned in and whispered, "I think we need to get out of here, I want to be alone with my sexy husband". Derek said, "and I want to be alone with my goddess of a wife".

He kissed her lips and said, "let's go say our goodbyes and then we'll head out", she nodded her head yes and said, "sounds good to me" as they stood up and made their way over to their family. A few minutes later the goodbyes were done and the happy couple were running toward their car and being chased by their family who was tossing birdseed at them as they exited the reception hall.

Tracey stood smiling and waving at her mommy and daddy as their car pulled away from the curb, JJ said, "you ready to help clean up and then head back to our house"?, Tracey said, "we gonna hab anower sweepober"?, JJ said, "we sure are and then tomorrow we're heading to Disney World" and Tracey clapped her hands and said, "yayyyyy Mickey Mowseeeeee" and JJ held out her hand and said, "that's right you'll get to see Mickey and Minnie and sooooo many others".

Tracey grinned and said, "wets go aunt JJ, wets go" and JJ laughed and said, "alright let's go, let's go" as they made their way back inside to finish the clean up before heading home for another sleep over before the family all headed out for their trip to Disney Land.
