Team Dynamics-Ch 24
A few minutes later Emily and Penelope were nervously walking into the directors office on Dave Rossis arm, Derek and Hotch were smiling ear to ear as was the rest of the guests. Hank was sitting on his grandmas lap watching his dad, Henry and Jack were sitting and watching a very nervous Hotch as the brides got closer and closer to the grooms.
Penelope felt her heart racing as she looked at Derek, he was the man that stole her heart a long long time ago, she loved him with all of her being and she knew that she always would. Emily smiled at Hotch and when he smiled back at her she knew that they were finally getting the lives they always wanted, a life together.
When they were finally up to their grooms Dave stopped and kissed first Penelope and then Emily before putting their hands in the hands of their future husbands. Derek and Hotch smiled lovingly at their brides before they all then turned to face the minister who grinned at them and said, "who gives these women in matrimony to these men"?, Dave stood up and said, "their family and I do" and then he sat back down beside his wife.
The minister looked at both of the couples and said, "marriage, love and trust are what brings us together today and both of these couples has an abundance of all three in their relationship". He looked at them and said, "I understand that you have all written your own vows"?, the four people in front of him smile and nod their heads yes in agreement".
He asked for the rings and Fran stepped forward and handed Derek a set of wedding bands, he said, "momma these belong to you and pops", she said, "they do and I know that he'd be honored to know that you and Penelope are wearing them". He kissed her cheek and said, "thank you momma", Reid handed them Hotchs 2 wedding bands and after a short prayer the minister smiled as he looked at Hotch and readied to speak.
He handed him the ring and said, "Aaron put this ring onto Emilys finger and recite your vows to her", he sighed happily as he slid the ring onto her finger, he then said, "Emily Michelle Prentiss, I love you, you are the bright spot in our lives and my son and I are lucky to have you in our lives". He gently squeezed her hand and said, "and I can't wait to spend the rest of our lives together, to grow old together and to raise our family together".
The minister handed Emily Hotchs ring and said, "Emily put the ring onto Aarons finger and then recite your vows to him", she took the ring and slid it onto his finger and took a deep breath. She then said, "Aaron you are the love of my life and I am honored to have an amazing son like Jack in my life", she then said, "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you and Jack and anybody else that comes along" causing Hotch to smile.
The minister then turned to Derek and Penelope and said, "Derek put this ring onto Penelopes finger and then recite your vows", he grinned at her as he slid the ring onto her finger. He then took a deep breath and said, "Penelope, baby girl, I love you with every part of me", tears streamed down her cheeks and he continued by saying, "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you, loving you and being loved by you".
Penelope smiled as the minister said, "Penelope take this ring and slid it onto Dereks finger and then recite your vows to him", she grinned as she took the ring and put it onto his finger. She looked lovingly into his eyes and said, "Derek, hotstuff, you are the love of my life and I have been in love with you since the day we met and I know that I will love you until the day I die".
The minister then said, "if their is anyone that can show just cause why these two couples can't be joined, let them speak now or forever hold their peace". After a few seconds he said, "by the powers vested in me by this state I now pronounce you husbands and wives".
Derek and Hotch stood there looking at Emily and Penelope and then the minister said, "Derek, Aaron you may now kiss your brides". Derek and Hotch pulled their wives into their arms and kissed their lips, they pulled apart to the sound of hands clapping and Hank squealing, "yayyyyyyyy", both brought smiles to the newlyweds faces.
