With A Little Help From My Son-Ch 20
Hank ran over and wrapped his arms around Penelope and said, "I can't wait for you to be my mommy", Penelope rubbed the top of the little boys head and said, "neither can I buddy, neither can I". Derek said, "how about we make that happen like now"?. Hank quickly said, "yeahhhhhhh", Penelope said, "the sooner the better as far as I'm concerned hotstuff".
Fran smiled and said, "alright then let's get these wedding plans started because the sooner these two are married the better", Hank giggled and said, "you tell em nana" causing everybody to laugh. Derek and the other men headed off in one direction and Penelope and the women headed in another, Penelope turned around and said, "Hank, you coming buddy"?, he said, "uhhhh we're gonna hang back mom but don't worry we won't go in the water".
Penelope grinned and said, "okay honey, just be careful okay"?, he said, "we will mom", she took a few more steps and then he said, "mom", she quickly turned around and said "yeah". He smiled at her and said, "I love you", she said, "and I love you buddy", he laughed and turned around and headed over to rejoin Henry and Jack.
When the adults were in the house Jack said, "soooo why are we hanging back Hank"?, Hank said, "I want to do something special for the wedding but I'm gonna need your help". Henry said, "sure, what are we going to do"?, Hank grinned and leaned in and started telling them his plan, Jack and Henry were all smiles and nodded their heads yes in agreement as they started helping Hank with his plan.
Fran, Sarah and Desi were working on a cake for the reception and Dave and Hotch were working on the license and somebody to marry the happy couple and Penelope, JJ and Emily were working on a dress for Penelope. A few hours later everybody was finally back together again and Dave said, "well I was able to pull a few strings and get your marriage license and Aaron was able to find somebody to marry you on short notice".
Penelope said, "thank you all so much for everything", Fran said, "you two are destined to be together and the sooner we make that happen the sooner I can get more beautiful grandbabies". Derek said, "maaaaaaaa", she said, "well I'm not" and Sarah, Desi and Derek said, "getting any younger", she smacked her hands at them and said, "well it's true" causing everybody to laugh.
Derek looked around and said, "where's the boys"?, Penelope said, "they've been out on the beach all afternoon but don't worry we've been checking on them, they're fine". Derek said, "knowing my son he's planning something, I don't know what but he's planning something", Penelope intertwined fingers with him and said, "I can't believe this is happening".
Derek kissed her lips gently and said, 'believe it gorgeous because in a few short hours we're going to be Mr. and Mrs. Derek Michael Morgan", she kissed his lips gently and said, "and I can hardly wait". He wrapped his arms around her and said, "neither can I sweetness, neither can I", meanwhile on the beach Hank, Henry and Jack stood smiling at what they had done.
Jack said, "those are beautiful", Henry said, "they are and she's gonna love it", Hank smiled and said, "I can't wait till she's my mom forever and ever", Henry smiled and said, "so if she's marrying uncle Derek that means she's our aunt P, right"?, Jack said, "right". Hank sighed happily as he looked down at his watch and said, "we better head back up to the house", the boys nodded their heads in agreement as they turned and headed back up toward the beach house with their surprise in Hanks hands.
Penelope and Derek looked up when the boys walked in, Derek said, "whatcha got there buddy"?, Hank walked over and said, "here you go mom" as he handed her a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Penelope said, "oh Hank it's beautiful, thank you", he smiled and said, "do you really like it"?, she pulled the little boy into her arms and hugged him tight and said, "I do buddy, I really do".
Derek said, "this must have taken you three most of the day"?, Jack said, "we picked the flowers ourselves and had fun putting them all together, Hank wanted special flowers for his mom as she marrys you today uncle Derek". Derek beamed with pride and said, "you three did a great job", Penelope smiled and said, "you certainly did" as she stood there looking down at the flowers in her hands.
Everybody gathered around to look at and brag on the beautiful flowers the boys had spent the day making, JJ and Emily gasped in surprise as Henry and Jack handed them their own little bouquets. The proud mommys kissed their sons on the cheeks and they thanked their sons multiple times for the bouquets of tropical flowers.
Dave said, "alright we have about half an hour before the minister will be here", the men then headed in one direction with Derek and the women in the other with Penelope as they all worked to get ready for the ceremony.
