Bare Fisted-Ch 14

As the next few days passed by everybody started working to get the arrangements made for the small, private wedding of Derek Michael Morgan and Penelope Grace Garcia. Now that all of the plans were made the only thing left was for Derek to get released from the hospital so that they could head to casa Rossi so that they could get the wedding started.

Penelope tried to talk him into waiting a few days so that he could build his strength up a little more but he kept telling her over and over that he was more than ready to marry her and spend the rest of his life with her and their son. Currently Derek was in the back yard at Rossis with the men and kids while his baby girl was upstairs in one of the many bedrooms with the girls as they helped her get ready.

Derek stood watching 4 year olds Hank and Henry and 6 year old Jack play on the swings, he looked at Reid and said, "I can't believe it, I can't believe that your a daddy to pretty boy". Reid laughed and said, "it came as a surprise to me to, a very welcomed surprise, Henry is the light of our lives", Derek nodded his head and said, "I hear ya Reid, I hear ya".

Dave said, "the pregnancy was so hard on Penelope without you here", Derek said, "I wanted to be here with you, with her, not a day went by that I didn't want to be home". Hotch put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "and not a day went by that we didn't want you here", Reid said, "I missed my brother", Derek said, "and I missed mine" as he pulled the younger man into his arms.

Meanwhile upstairs Penelope was getting the finishing touches on her hair and makeup, when she was finished she stood up and said, "well what do you think girlies"?, everybody was smiling and saying stuff like, "you look gorgeous", "you look like a princess". Fran said, "honey you look amazing", Penelope said, "I've waited so long for this day, a day that after hotstuff was taken I never thought would happen".

Emily said, "but it is happening, Derek did come home, home to you, Hank and his family", Penelope nodded her head and said, "I couldn't have said it better myself Em" as she hugged her friend. The women were all laughing and talking when Dave knocked on the door, Sarah opened the door and said, "come in Dave, come in".

When he walked inside he said, "ohhhhh kitten you look beautiful", she said, "thank you kind sir", he said, "you are very welcome malady", he then kissed his wife on the lips and said, "and you look amazing Bella". He sighed and said, "all of you look beautiful" causing the women to laugh and JJ to say, "nice save Dave, nice save".

He glanced down at his watch and said, "are you ready kitten"?, she said, "I've been ready for so long Dave, so so long", Fran hugged her and kissed her cheek and said, "we're going to head on out to the backyard, we'll see you out there". She nodded her head and said, "thanks girls, thanks for everything you've done for me and hotstuff".

Sarah said, "you two deserve happiness, the happiness that for 4 years Cassie took away from you", Penelope reached up to wipe away the tears that started streaming down her cheek. JJ said, "let me take care of that real fast and then you can be on your way". Penelope stood while JJ did a quick refresh on her mascara and then her and Emily were out the door leaving Penelope and Dave alone.

Dave said, "are you ready to marry Derek"?, she blew out a deep breath and said, "I've been ready since the day we met", Dave said, "you and Derek belong together and you have since he called you Gomez". She nodded her head and said, "well what are we waiting for"?, he laughed and held out his arm and said, "let's get this show on the road" as she looped her arm through his and they headed downstairs to join JJ and Emily.
