All I Want For Christmas Is You-Ch 13
The men were all still celebrating after 3:00 in the morning, well all of them but Derek, he wanted to go to bed so that he would be all rested for his wedding day. The women laughed, ate pizza and watched movies until about midnight and then they all turned in, Penelope was asleep almost before her head hit the pillow, she was exhausted from the days events.
When Penelope opened her eyes she saw several smiling faces, she pulled herself up in the bed and said, "morning ladies", Fran handed her a cup of coffee and a double chocolate chip muffin. JJ said, "you need to eat Garcie because it's going to be a long day", she nodded her head yes in agreement as she took a bite of her muffin.
She said, "mmmmmm this is delicious", Shelly said, "glad you like it, me and Fran made them fresh this morning", Penelope took a sip of coffee and said, "my stomach feels like it's filled with butterflies this morning". Emily laughed and said, "totally normal PG", JJ said, "yep, definitely", Shelly said, "I was so nervous the day me and Payton got married that I almost forgot my vows".
Penelope said, "I've waited so long for this day to come, I've been in love with Derek for years", Fran said, "and he's been in love with you for years to honey". Penelope said, "he has"?, Sarah said, "uh huh, when he would come home for a visit he'd say, "my baby girl would do this or my baby girl said that" causing everybody to laugh.
A few short minutes later the already dressed girls started working on the bride, Penelope sighed as JJ and Emily worked on her hair and makeup for her big day. Fran and Shelly were putting the finishing touches on the food for the reception and Sarah and Desi were getting the bouquets for the bride and maids of honor.
Meanwhile the men were all loading up into their cars to head back to Paytons place, Derek was so excited and nervous at the same time. He had dreamed of marrying his baby girl for so long he couldn't believe that today it was finally going to happen, she was finally going to be his wife.
Patrick grinned as he put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "on a scale of 1 to 10 how nervous are you"?, Derek blew out a deep breath and said, "ohhhhh about a 30" causing everybody to laugh as they pulled away from the curb so they could get Derek and Penelope married.
Derek smiled and said, "I can't believe that it's Christmas Eve and I'm getting married", Reid said, "I'm just glad that you and Garcia are so happy, you both deserve it". Derek said, "thanks pretty boy, that means so much coming from you", he grinned and said, "I've never seen you happier than you are right now".
Derek said, "that's because I've never been this happy before", Paul said, "you and P deserve happiness especially after longing for each other all this time". Parker nodded his head and said, "Penelope has always dreamed of marrying the love of her life and settling down and starting a family", Derek nodded his head and said, "I want that to and I want it with my baby girl".
As they pulled into Paytons driveway Derek looked up at the house and said, "can I just maybe go in and see her or maybe hear her voice"?, the men all in unison said, "NOOOOOOOO". Derek laughed and said, "okay okay" as they all headed out to the backyard.
Penelope sighed happily and said, "I can't believe it's finally happening"?, Stephanie said, "believe it girlie, today you Penelope Grace Garcia are going to marry your hotstuff and be Mrs. Penelope Morgan". JJ said, "I'm so happy for you, we are all so happy for you and Derek".
Penelope said, "he's all I've ever wanted and everything I thought I'd never get", Emily said, "he's been in love with you for years and everybody could see it, well everybody but the two of you". Shelly said, "ahhhh yes the hardheaded Garcias I know and love them sooooo well" causing the women to all laugh.
Fran said, "Penelope who's giving you away"?, she said, "Payton, he was so excited when I asked him", Desi said, "ohhh the men are here, I see them walking into the backyard". Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "it's almost time, it's almost time" and Fran said, "I can't believe that soon I'm going to have another daughter and then hopefully soon a grandma".
Penelope hugged Fran and said, "nothing would make me happier than to give you grandchildren, many, many grandchildren Fran". Fran hugged Penelope and said, "and I hope you know that when you do I'm going to spoil them all rotten" causing Penelope to laugh and say, "I never had a doubt".
Their attention was then pulled to the door when Payton knocked on the door, Emily walked over and said, "come in Payton, come in". Payton stepped in and said, "ohhhh Penelope, honey, you look amazing", she twirled around and said, "thanks big brother".
Fran smiled and said, "well we're going to go on out so that you can get ready", Penelope smiled and said, "thank you, thank you all so much for everything you've done to make today perfect". The girls all smiled and Shelly said, "that's what family does, we help each other", she hugged Penelope and said, "we love you Penelope".
As everybody walked out of the room Payton said, "are you ready to become an old married woman"?, Penelope laughed and said, "I am, I sooooo am". He held out his arm and said, "allow me"?, she looped her arm through his and said, "lead the way big brother, lead the way" and out the door they went as they headed downstairs to join JJ and Emily.
