Survival-Ch 17
As Derek and Penelope walked back into his house he pulled her into his arms and said, "I can't believe that it's finally over", she rested her forehead against his and said, "neither can I handsome, neither can I". He cupped her face in his hands and said, "so beautiful do you have any plans"?, she sighed and said, "plans for what"?, he kissed her lips and said, "ohhhhhh plans for the rest of your life"?, she said, "wh wh what"?, he smiled as he walked over to the cabinet and opened a drawer.
She felt her heart racing as he got the box and dropped down to one knee and said, "Penelope, you are the most amazing woman I have ever met and 7 months ago I thought that I had lost you forever". She bit down on her bottom lip as he said, "baby girl will you do me the honor of becoming my wife"?, she got down on her knees and put his face in her hands and said, "yes handsome, yes".
He leaned forward and said, "really"?, she crashed her lips against his and when they pulled apart she said, "yes really, you are the man I have waited my entire life for and now that I have you I'm not letting you go". He took the ring out of the box and smiled as he slid it on her finger ever so gently before bringing her hand to his lips.
Penelope wrapped her hand around the back of his head and pulled him in for a passionate kiss, they pulled apart when they heard the sound of hands clapping from the door. They looked up to see Penelopes brothers, Fran, the girls and the team standing there, Penelope said, "how long have you all been there"?, Payton said, "we were here when you got home buttttttttt you were a little occupied".
Derek helped her up off the floor and then quickly wrapped his arms around her, Parker said, "I can't believe it, only a few weeks ago life was just barely ebbing by and here today my sister is alive and well and getting married". Penelope relaxed in Dereks arms and said, "Pay, I was hoping that you would give me away at the wedding".
He walked over and hugged her and said, "it would be my honor squirt", she playfully hit him on the shoulder and said, "are you ever gonna stop calling me that"?, he looked at the other brothers and then at her and they all said in unison, "NOPE". Penelope smiled and then looked at JJ and Em and said, "girlies will you be my bridesmaids"?, they hugged her and said, "we'd love to".
Derek looked at Hotch and Reid and said, "will you two stand up with me and be my bestmen"?, Reid smiled and said, "absolutely Morgan", he put his hand on Reids shoulder and said, "now that we have that taken care of we still have one big question left". Penelope said, "what question is that my handsome hunk"?, he laughed and shook his head and said, "when are we getting married"?, she said, "how long of an engagement were you thinking hotstuff"?, he brought her hand up to his lips and gently kissed it and said, "as far as I'm concerned 1 day is to long to wait".
She smiled and said, "how about we plan it for Sunday"?, Fran smiled and said, "that gives us 3 days to get everything ready", she nodded her head and said, "do you think that will give us enough time"?, she put her hand on Penelopes and said, "with all of us working on it that will be more than enough time".
Penelope walked over to the table and picked up the notebook and sat down and started making a list of everything they needed to do, a few minutes later the lists were finished and everybody split up and started working on their part of the list. Derek wrapped his arms around his beautiful finacee and kissed her lips gently.
When they pulled apart he said, "I love you sweetness", she ran her hand up his chest and said, "I love you to hotstuff", he grinned and said, "I can't believe that in a few days you're going to be my wife". She smiled and said, "believe it my love because after Sunday you are going to be stuck with me forever and ever".
He laughed and said, "I'm going to hold you to that", she gave him a gentle kiss before heading out the door with the girls and his mom to shop for a wedding dress. Derek sighed as he watched his happy bride to be get into the car, he couldn't wait for them to be married, he couldn't wait to spend the rest of his life loving her.
