Lyric Of Love-Ch 18
Penelope grabbed her cell and sent a group text letting everybody know at once that Derek was awake and the doctor was in taking him off of the ventilator. She looked up from her cell to see Fran practically running toward her up the hall, she handed Penelope her coffee and sandwich and said, "he's awake, my baby boy's awake"?, Penelope smiled happily and said, "he is, he is Fran" as she put her coffee and sandwich down and hugged her future mother in law.
It wasn't long before the happy momma and fiancée were joined by JJ, Reid and the BAU team, Dave smiled and said, "that boy is a fighter", Fran sighed and said, "that he is Dave, that he is". JJ sat down beside Penelope and said, "how did he seem"?, Penelope said, "in pain so I'd say after they get him off the ventilator they'll give him something for pain".
Dave smiled and said, "I have an idea", everybody looked at him and Penelope said, "what idea"?, Dave said, "you're engaged right"?, she said, "yeahhhh", Reid said, "I think I know his idea". Penelope said, "well would one of you like to let us in on it"?, Dave said, "it's obvious to anybody with eyes that you and Derek are in love and after what you've been through I'd say you don't want to wait long to be married, right"?, Penelope said, "right".
Everybody listened as Dave said, "sooooo how about when we get the all clear from Derek and the doctor we get you two married"?, Penelope said, "married, where, what, here"?, Dave said, "sure why not"?, Penelope said, "can we do that, can we make that happen"?, Fran said, "honey with all of us working together their ain't nothing we can't do".
Penelope said, "the sooner we get married the better as far as I'm concerned", JJ said, "and don't worry about your concert schedule I've already taken care of your concerts for the next couple of weeks". Penelope sighed and said, "what would I do without you Jayje"?, JJ said, "well you're never gonna find out Garcie because you're stuck with me".
She laughed and said, "well since I'm getting married I'm going to need a maid of honor, you interested in the position"?, JJ said, "I'd be honored Garcie", the two girls hugged and Reid said, "now all we have to do is get everything arranged just as soon as the doctor and Derek give us the okay". Their attention then turned to the door when Chad walked out.
Penelope said, "how is he"?, Chad said, "he's good, sore and hurting but good", Fran said, "thank you for everything you've done Chad", he said, "you're welcome, you're very welcome". Penelope said, "can we see him"?, Chad said, "of course, of course and he's asking for you Penelope", Penelope grinned as she stepped away from the others and walked into his room.
Dave said, "doc I've got a question for ya"?, Chad listened as Dave said, "how long before Derek will be up to activity"?, Chad said, "if you're talking sex, it's going to be" and JJ said, "nooooo, not sex, we're wanting to get those to married, Derek getting shot and Penelope almost losing her made us all realize that life is precious and we want them to enjoy their lives together as husband and wife".
Penelope walked over to Dereks bedside and said, "hiya handsome", he grinned and hoarsely said, "hi yourself baby girl", she leaned down and kissed his lips and said, "I love you and I was so afraid that I'd lost you". He said, "I love you to and I'm not going anywhere", she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "marry me Derek".
He said, "I thought that had been settled already", she said, "I mean now, marry me now", he said, "here, in the hospital"?, she said, "yes, I almost lost you and almost losing you made me realize that I don't want to wait any longer". He smiled and said, "yes gorgeous, yes I'll marry you anytime, any place" and he winced in pain as he pulled her down into a passionate kiss.
Chad said, "welllllll he's pretty weak right now, not to mention his voice is hoarse", Hotch said ,"that don't matter, what does matter is getting those two married as soon as possible". Chad thought for a minute and said, "I'm okay with it as long as Derek is", Reid said, "well then let's go see what Derek says" as they all headed toward his door.
When the door opened everybody grinned as Derek and Penelope in unison said, "WE'RE GETTING MARRIED"
