London Calling Chapter 19

Disclaimer: Not Mine

A/N – Sorry, I meant to have this out on Thursday but have been super busy lately. Hope you all enjoy.

Emily awoke slowly to the feel of soft kisses and sensuous caresses. "Good morning." She stretched and readjusted to give him better access before coming widely awake. "Hey! You're not supposed to be here, you're not supposed to see me yet."

"Don't worry I'll keep my eyes closed." Derek's promptly replied.

"You're missing the point it's supposed to be bad…" She lost her breath as his hands continued their magic.

"What's that you were saying, Princess?" He chuckled, as she pressed her body close. "You're not going to tell me you believe in those old wives tales?"

Emily settled back into the covers. "Right now the only thing I believe is you better finish what you started."

"Oh, believe me I have every intention of doing just that." He promised, and proceeded to keep his promise.

It was a tangle of naked limbs that JJ walked in on. "Happy Wedding Day! OH GROSS!" She quickly shut the door. "Little warning would have been nice. It could have been Henry that walked in to wake his Em."

"I told you he'd be here." Garcia remarked looking down at the breakfast she'd created for Emily. "Open that door back up," She directed JJ, "There's probably enough for both here."

"Probably more than enough." JJ snorted. "It didn't even look like they worked up an appetite."

"You know we can hear you." Emily stated.

"That's weird because we couldn't hear you at all. No sound, no movement. Do you want me to have Aaron give Derek some wedding night pointers?"

"Ha! Like Hotch could give me pointers in the bedroom." Derek complained, affronted at the suggestion.

"You know, in the immortal words of Logan Echolls, 'If the cuddling is the best part, he didn't do it right.'" JJ shook her head and looked at Pen, "That's a true statement."

"You can come in now." Derek grumbled, then when they opened the door, both of them grinning like fools, he asked. "So are you telling me that you and Hotch don't cuddle?"

JJ tilted her head as if in deep thought. "Oh, we cuddle on the couch. I guess you could call the time after we've reached sheer orgasmic bliss and we're waiting for our breathing to regulate and the ability to move again cuddling." She grinned wickedly and sighed happily. "I usually refer to it as halftime."

Morgan laughed out loud. "I hope you brag about me like this when I'm not in the room." He said to Emily.

"She does, but I'm having doubts. She doesn't even look ravished." JJ pointed out.

"It was only the first quarter and the ref called a time out."

JJ chuckled at the analogy. "You're not so bad, Derek Morgan."

"Going to the chapel and we're going to maarrrried. Going to the chapel and we're.."

JJ looked over at the bubbly blonde, a vision of pink chiffon, and growled. "Seriously Pen, if you do not stop it I'm going to kill you."

"Sorry, I like to sing when I'm nervous. It calms me." The singing stopped but the humming and dancing continued.

"Why are you nervous?" Emily asked. "You're not the one with a missing fiancé." She tapped her foot anxiously. "What's the rule here? We wait fifteen minutes and if he doesn't show we call it a day?"

"Oh please, he's going to show." JJ looked at her phone again, willing it to do something. He was so hyped this morning she wouldn't have been surprised if he'd gone straight from the bedroom to the altar. "Maybe he's in traffic?"

"Without his phone?" No member of the BAU was ever without their phone. Both JJ and Emily turned to Penelope who was fishing her phone out of her cleavage once again attempting to call him.

"It's going straight to voicemail. Maybe he forgot it. Surely people are allowed concessions on their wedding day?" Garcia suggested before frowningly adding, "Maybe he was in an accident?"

Exasperated that she would even suggest it, JJ bit out, "You know what, Pen, that's not helping, maybe you should stick to singing."

Frown turning to pout, she turned to JJ. "I guess it's a good thing you don't want anyone at your wedding. Because apparently weddings make you mean."

"I'm not being mean," JJ defended, "Who's the one that suggested maybe Morgan was in an accident? Because that's going to calm her."

"I didn't say he was hurt or lying somewhere in a ditch did I?" Garcia defended.

"So, what, you think he suffered a paper cut that is preventing him from operating a vehicle or using a cell phone?"

Emily sighed and tried to defuse the situation. "Guys, he's late. He's probably shaving his head or practicing his smile in the mirror, don't worry he'll be here." She was the voice of calm reason.

JJ made a face at Penelope. "He practices his smile in the mirror?" The mere idea had her grinning.

"I've never actually seen him do it but c'mon he's got a couple of different ones that he pulls out at various intervals; I've got to assume he practices them. How else would he know when to use which one?"

Penelope chuckled. "Infallible logic, as usual, no wonder my Chocolate Adonis is so smitten with you." She looked at her watch again. "But seriously, who's late to their own wedding?"

"I know." JJ agreed. "And just like that another fairy tale debunked. Here we thought he rolled out of bed looking that good. Now we know that he has to work at it just like the rest of us mere mortals." She walked over and gave Pen a hug in silent apology.

The sudden knock on the door startled them all. Hotch stuck his head through the door. "Car wouldn't start, didn't charge his phone, locked his keys in the car, couldn't get back into the house, used his FBI credentials to convince a civilian to give him a ride…"

"He probably employed a smile." JJ cracked, to the amusement of both Pen and Emily.

"Anyway," Hotch finished, completely not understanding their inside joke, "He is at the altar and ready to go."

"Fine. Tell him I need a few minutes." Emily said, as she stood and straightened her gown.

The butterflies that she was certain she wouldn't face started as soon as JJ winked at her and mouthed 'you're up next' and turned to walk down the aisle. Emily blew out a breath and stepped into the room. It was ridiculously crowded. Between Derek and her mother they invited half of Washington. God, why couldn't they have eloped? Just as she was about to give in to panic she looked up and saw him. He was wearing his patented 'Emily' smile, reserved just for her. Their eyes met and her panic subsided. He was by her side before she took another step. "I was doing fine on my own." She laughed.

"I wanted to make sure you didn't decide to take a runner."

"I'm not going anywhere, handsome." She assured him. The audience laughed when he pulled her into his arms and kissed her soundly. "I think we might be doing things out of order."

He responded with a wink. "It is us. I think that's pretty much expected." He took both of her hands as they turned to the judge officiating their wedding. "We're ready."

Fifteen minutes later he was kissing her again and she was now Mrs. Derek Morgan. Well, maybe – she hadn't decided what her name was going to be but she was officially married.

The reception was in full swing when she finally was able to sit and talk with JJ. "So, you really don't want this?" This being a loud, hot place, with food and wine overflowing.

JJ laughed. "Absolutely not." Her eyes found Hotch in the crowd. "Although, if it ever happens, he will be wearing a tux." She sighed, dreamily. "That man makes my mouth water."

"I know I've caught you drooling more than once." Emily sighed, "I can't believe this is my wedding." She looked around the room still crowded with people celebrating. Her mom was dancing with Derek. At least she wasn't pulling out the moves she employed on the stripper from the shower.

"I can't believe that most people still don't know you're pregnant." JJ looked over at her enviously. "I'm still waiting for you to balloon out."

"You say the sweetest things." She grinned. "If it makes you feel better, my feet and back are aching and I'm tired."

"You're just saying that to make me feel better."

"I feel a little bloated, too, after dinner."

JJ looked at her with mock horror. "If you're going to get gassy let me know because I've already lived through that tour of duty and it really is Pen's turn." She protested. "I can't be getting all the choice assignments."

Emily was about to respond when the beginning strands of the 'Chicken Dance' started. Both groaned and turned to see Penelope leading the dance. "You were saying?" Emily asked JJ.

"Need a tums?" JJ sighed.

"Hey, just think," Emily said, rubbing her stomach fondly, "When you decide to do this again I'll be right there with you."

JJ smiled. "If I get pregnant, you're going to have another one with me?"

"What?" Emily quickly scanned the room to make sure that Derek didn't hear that comment. He'd be asking her to commit to a timeline. "I didn't say that, I meant I'll know what you're going through."

"You do know that Derek wants more than one, right?" She shook her head at the man in question as he flapped his wings beside Garcia.

"Let me get through this one and then we'll see." Was all Emily would commit to, but she couldn't help but point out to JJ. "You know, you didn't bat an eye when I suggested you get pregnant."

"I…Well…Shut up." JJ sputtered. No one needed to know that the idea was never far from her mind since Jack and Henry first suggested it.

"He's a good dad." Emily remarked as she watched Hotch and Jack attempt to help Henry with the dance moves. The three of them were laughing uproariously. "That's a pretty attractive quality."

"Just one of his many." JJ noted. The music changed to the Electric Slide and her boys decided not to attempt that one. She made eye contact with Hotch as they left the dance floor; then giggled as Pen roped Reid into dancing with her. "This is nice. We need to have more happy times like these."

"I couldn't agree more." Rossi stated sitting down beside the pair. "So," He looked over at JJ. "When are you going to do this?"

"Oh, you first, big guy." JJ told him.

"It's crossed my mind." He admitted openly before shrugging, "I'm Italian, what can I say, we love being in love." He smiled as he spotted Erin making her way over to him.

"Hey, if at first you don't succeed, try, try again." JJ teased.

"Some of us manage to get it right the first time around." Derek stated, joining the group and winking at Emily. "I've come to dance with my wife." He held his hand out for her.

She looked at the group still sliding across the dance floor. "I may be able to do a stand and sway but there is no way I'm getting in that mess."

"You know," Derek said, as he pulled her to her feet, "Our story began on the dance floor."

"The story I heard had something to do with a wall." JJ snarked. "I pretty much figured that was just Emily embellishing."

"I'm feeling magnanimous so I'm going to let that slide." Derek stated. "Especially since it was at your non-wedding that that all began."

"You're welcome." She laughed when he was surprised by her response. "You thought you were going to get a rise out of me, didn't you?" She was momentarily distracted when she spotted Hotch, carrying Henry and holding Jack's hand, approach. "It was the right decision."

"Oh, I love weddings!" Garcia announced, now that she and Reid finished dancing she was ready to sit for a minute. Morgan and Emily still stood by the table and were joined by Hotch and the boys although Jack was quick to drop his dad's hand in favor of sitting by JJ. Her smile grew as Strauss slid in beside Rossi and she could see Kevin making his way over to her. "This is nice." She looked at Reid. "We need to find you a woman."

"One that isn't inflatable." Rossi mumbled.

"Or charges by the hour." Derek added.

Reid took the ribbing good naturedly. "Someone has to take over the role of player on the team."

Derek threw back his head laughing. "Alright, Pretty Boy, I'll leave the title in your hands."

"You're playing days are over." Emily told Derek firmly.

"Oh baby," He smiled, pulling her close, "It's just a different kind of game now. I still got some play in me. It's just all one on one now."

"I don't know how I can hear that and find it adorable, yet repulsive." Emily wondered.

"Love goggles." Garcia proclaimed wisely. "So, have we decided who's next?"

"You!" JJ and Rossi stated.

"I'm game if you are, Gumdrop." Kevin stated causing Penelope to blush and mumble they could talk about it later.

"You know," Hotch said, leaning to whisper in JJ's ear, "Lowe's delivers sand. I could have you a beach built in a matter of hours."

"What about Hawaii, Dad?" Jack asked, innocently, having overheard the comment, causing the team to study the pair in question interestedly.

"What about Hawaii, Jack?" Emily asked the boy.

"JJ wants to visit the beach so we're going to go on a family trip." He announced with a smile, as he snuggled into JJ's side.

"Is that right?" Emily asked looking at the guilty couple.

Not wanting to relinquish all the attention to Jack, Henry nodded vigorously. "Yep. We're going to go in a big plane."

"Isn't that interesting?" She narrowed her eyes as she stared at JJ.

"Interesting?" Garcia growled. "I think it's downright sneaky. You both look guilty, by the way."

"What are we missing?" Rossi asked Morgan.

"Our little love birds are skipping off to Hawaii to get married without us." Garcia informed the team.

"They wouldn't do that…" His eyes narrow as well as he too noted the guilty expressions on the pair. "Well I'll be damned."

Jack, intuitive little soul that he was, turned to JJ. "I didn't say anything wrong, did I?"

JJ hugged him closer. "No, you didn't." She slipped her hand into Hotch's and announced. "We were going to tell you, but not tonight, it's Derek and Emily's day."

"You can't stop there, Peaches." Garcia squealed. "Finish, tell us what?"

"Yeah, tell us, Jay." Emily encouraged.

Arm settled securely around Jack, JJ looked up at Hotch, holding Henry. She squeezed his hand and announced. "We're getting married."

"Are you going to go through with it this time?" Rossi questioned.

JJ never turned to look at Rossi; her only action was to lace her fingers with Hotch's. "Yep. I most definitely am."

"Good for you, kiddo." He said softly. He chuckled to himself. "Remind me never to play poker with her. You really had me fooled."

"After we get married Hotch is going to find some fairy dust and give mommy a baby." Henry announced.

As the team just processed that statement in startled silence, JJ looked up at Hotch and laughed. "Yeah, I told you that one would come back to haunt you."

"I'm not sure I want to know." Morgan stated, his shoulders shaking from laughter.

"Emily is the one that started it by telling Henry that you gave her your love and it put a baby in her belly. So when the boys found out that Aaron and I loved one another Henry started checking my stomach for a baby. And Aaron told him that Emily forgot to tell him about the fairy dust." JJ snorted. "Fairy dust."

"Where did you get your fairy dust, Derek?" Henry asked sincerely.

Derek looked at the little cherub so patiently awaiting his response. "So you're going fly in a big plane to Hawaii, huh, buddy? That's going to be awesome."
