All I Want For Christmas Is You-Ch 12
The next few days were spent with everybody helping with the wedding plans and fixing up the back yard for the perfect wedding for Penelope and Derek. Penelope grinned as she looked up to see Henry and Jack running toward her, she dropped to her knees and hugged both little boys tight as they hugged her back.
Derek said, "heyyy what about me"?, Henry laughed and threw his little arms around his uncle and said, "love you", Derek said, "love you to little man, I love both of you" as he hugged Jack. Fran walked into the back yard and smiled as her son hugged her tight, when he pulled back she said, "it's about time that you two pull your head out of your butts".
Derek laughed and said, "I hear ya momma", Fran leaned in and said, "you know what that means right"?, he said, "what does that mean momma"?, she laughed and said, "that means that soon I'll get those beautiful grandbabies you've been promising me". He said, "woah momma, we just got engaged, we're not even married yet".
She said, "I'm a patient woman but" and that's when Sarah and Desi appeared and said in unison, "she's not getting any younger" causing everybody to laugh. Derek hugged his sisters and said, "I'm so glad that you could come for our wedding", Sarah said, "we wouldn't have missed this for the world".
The rest of the team walked over and hugged the bride and groom to be and then Dave said, "congratulations kitten", Penelope said, "thanks my Italian stallion". Penelope said, "everybody this is the rest of our family, this is Fran Morgan Rossi, her husband David Rossi and Frans daughters, Dereks sisters Sarah and Desiree".
Everybody waved and Fran said, "it's nice to meet everybody", Penelope then said, "this is our bossman Aaron Hotch Hotchner and his beautiful wife Emily and their son Jackers". She then walked over to JJ and Reid and said, "and this is Spencer and Jenniffer Reid and their little boy Henry and guys this is everybody" while everybody introduced themselves to the rest of Derek and Penelopes family.
Shelly smiled and said, "you guys made it just in time", JJ said, "in time for what"?, Shelly said, "it's time for the men and women to split up until the wedding tomorrow". Derek said, "wait, what"?, Fran said, "so it's time for the bachelor and bachelorette parties"?, Shelly nodded her head and said, "yep definitely, it's time for us to let our hair down and have some fun".
Derek intertwined fingers with his baby girl and said, "but why can't we all just have fun together"?, Payton said, "I agree with ya Derek buttttt it's normal for and customary for the groom not to see the bride the night before their wedding". He said, "I know it's just", Hotch said, "come on Morgan, we'll go get our pary on and have some fun".
Derek laughed and said, "I can't believe it", Reid said, "what"?, Derek said, "that Hotch said it was time for us to get our party on", Dave laughed and said, "alright men, kiss your wives and brides to be and let's get romeo out of here". Derek pulled Penelope into his arms and said, "I love you", she winked at him and said, "I love you to".
As the men started toward the door Penelope said, "the next time you see me I'll be walking up the aisle to marry you", he smiled and she said, "I'll be the one in the white dress". Derek sighed happily and said, "I can hardly wait to call you my wife", she winked at him and said, "I can hardly wait until you're my husband, I've waited so long for that to happen".
He smiled at her and said, "in less than 24 hours we'll be married and then our lives together as husband and wife will finally begin", she smiled and said, "good night my love, have fun and I'll see you tomorrow". He blew her a kiss and said, "good night goddess, you have fun but not to much fun without me", she laughed and said, "never handsome, never" as she watched the men of her life walk out the gate and head out to their cars.
The women and children were going to stay at Paytons for the night and the men were going to stay a few miles away at Parkers for the night, a night that had been a long time coming. Derek sighed as they pulled away from the curb, he knew that starting tomorrow him and his bride would have a lifetime to spend together and he couldn't wait.
