All I Want For Christmas Is You-Ch 15
As the reception continued Penelope danced with all of her brothers, the men on the team and her male cousins that had stayed for the wedding. Derek had danced with his mom, sisters, the women on the team, his new sister in laws and his new cousins.
Fran smiled as she watched Derek and his bride dancing again, the way he held her in his arms reminded her of how Hank, Dereks father held her when they danced. Dave walked up and wrapped his arms around her and said, "penny for your thoughts".
She sighed and said, "just wishing that Hank could have seen this day, he would be so happy for Derek and Penelope on their special day". Dave said, "that he would and I think that Hanks here in spirit and so are kittens parents", Fran grinned and said, "I knew there was a reason I married you".
She turned in his arms and pressed her lips against his, when they pulled apart Dave teased her by saying, "and here I thought you were after me for my body". Fran giggled and said, "ohhhhh I am my love, I am" as she claimed his lips again.
Payton walked over to the newlyweds and said, "we have a cabin about half an hour out of town and we made sure that it was cleaned up and stocked for you". Penelope said, "I have a lot of great memories there in that cabin, thanks Pay for fixing it up for us".
Shelly smiled and said, "we have a few surprises for ya", Derek said, "do I even want to know"?, Shelly laughed and said, "probably not" causing Derek to laugh. Penelope said, "today was perfect, simply perfect and I owe it all to you all".
Dave smiled and tapped the side of his glass and said, "I'd like to propose a toast to the happy couple before they slip off to start their honeymoon". Everybody raised their glasses and he looked around the room and sighed happily as he readied to speak.
He looked at Derek and Penelope and said, "Derek, kitten, I think I can speak for everybody when I say that we wish you a life filled with love, peace, joy and happiness". Fran giggled and said, "and beautiful grandbabies for me".
Dave said, "and beautiful grandbabies for your mom and I to spoil", he then said, "love, your love is an amazing strength, a strength that will last you both a lifetime". Penelope winked at Derek as Dave said, "so here's to the newlyweds, have fun and love forever".
Everybody raised their glasses and said, "forever" before they all took sips of their champagne, Derek intertwined fingers with his bride and said, "are you ready to get this honeymoon kicked into gear"?, she nodded her head and said, "lead the way husband", he grinned at her and said, "alright wife" as they walked over to start saying their goodbyes so they could get started up to the cabin.
A few minutes later the happy couple were pulling away from the curb, Penelope smiled and waved and said, "byeeeeeee, byeeeeeeee, we love you". When they were out of sight she scooted closer to her husband and laid her head down on his shoulder.
He sighed happily and said, "you tired gorgeous"?, she said, "exhausted but don't think that you're getting out of making love to me all night husband dear". He laughed and said, "wouldn't dream of it wife, wouldn't dream of it" causing the two of them to laugh.
When they pulled up in front of the cabin Derek said, "this place is gorgeous", he got out and walked around to the passenger side of the car and opened the door. He held out his hand and she slid her hand in his as she slid out of the car and they started walking toward the cabin.
Derek put the key in the door and pushed the door open and picked up his wife and as they stepped through the door she said, "hotstuff what are you doing"?, he said, "carrying my beautiful wife over the threshold, that's what I'm doing".
She laughed and said, "to the bed Jeeves", he said, "yes mam", she giggled and said, "I love you", he said, "I love you to". When they stopped beside the bed she said, "make love to me husband", he put her down on the floor and said, "your wish is my command wife" and in a few seconds their clothes were gone and they were rolling on the bed like a couple of teenagers on prom night.
