Chapter 22

It's been 25 years since everything happened, Calleigh Anne Morgan had 2 brothers and a little sister who she loved, who she loved hanging out with and teach her tons of things. Today she was getting married and her baby sister was her maid of honor. She hoped her marriage would be as blessed and as happy as her parents', she loved them dearly. She was getting married to Jack Hotchner, her mother and sister were standing next to her.

"I'm scared mom, what if he realizes that he can do better than me."

"Honey, Jack loves you; he's the only man who your father hasn't been able to scare off. And your father respects him."

"I know, but I'm still scared."

"Big sis, he has known you all your life, he loves you with his whole heart, there's no way he's gonna let you go ever, why else would he asked you to marry him."

"Thanks sis. I really needed to hear that. Okay I'm ready."

"You're father should arrive any second. You look beautiful honey."

"Thanks mom."

Derek came in.

"How are my girls doing in here?"

"Hey dad, Calleigh just freaked out, other than that we're fine."

"Where have I heard that before? Your mom freaked out on our wedding too, and pretty sure it's about the same thing."

"Yes, it is."

"You thought dad wouldn't marry you?" both sisters exclaimed at the same time.

"Yeah, I thought the same thing you just did. I had aunt JJ and Aunt Emily to calm me down. And of course grandpa Dave."

"I can imagine how it would have been."

"You were asleep in your godmother's arms."

"Come I'm sure Jack is as nervous as you are."

"You think?"

Pen made her way to her seat, Julia, Suzanna and Diana took their places as maid of honor and bridesmaids. The ceremony could begin. At the arm of her father she walked down the aisle. She saw her brothers next to her mom, right behind them were JJ and Reid, Hotch and Emily, Fran and Rossi. At the end of the aisle she saw Jack, the man she loved for so long. Once arrived her father kissed her forehead and shook Jack's hand before joining his wife.

It was a beautiful day, the sun was nice and warm, and they took pictures in the park. The party for the wedding was held at the Morgan residence in the garden, a tent was put up. Everyone was having the time of their life. Derek took Penelope in his arms.

"I love you baby girl."

"I love you too, handsome. Our eldest has left the nest, it seems like she was born just yesterday."

"I know, I remember when you told me you were pregnant with my baby."

"It's so long ago, yet I remember it like it was yesterday. Our youngest just finished high school and is ready to enter college. Our boys are as hardheaded as the both of us and became an officer in the navy and a doctor. And of course Calleigh had to be as hardheaded as both of us together and majored in profiling and computers."

"Did you expect anything less than perfect from us?"

"I guess not."

She smiled at him; he kissed her and led her to the dance floor. They danced all night and switched partners from time to time. The party ended it the early hours of the next morning.

In the past 25 year JJ and Reid had became a couple and had 2 kids, Emily and Hotch had one child another boy. But they weren't the only couples formed also Fran and Rossi got married along the way. And as for Elisabeth, she got married to her love Greg Sanders, who moved to Quantico; together they had two more children.
