Part 48 (thanks to Beth for giving me a few names to pick for Mr. Morgan and a thanks to mom for picking one of those names lol)

Fran looked down at Dave as he was kneeling in front of her. She couldn't believe this was happening to her. She never thought she'd ever be happy again after Derek's dad, Albert was murdered.

The last few weeks she's been with Dave has been the best. He's really loving, and caring and trustworthy. She's never seen that in a guy in years. Not that there has been any to speak of. But as he's asking her to marry him, she smiled at him.

Would this work out for the best? Would he even survive long enough to make it to the wedding before Morgan killed him?

She started nodding her head before he finished his little speech. "Yes Dave. I will. I love you so much." She said as he smiled up at her and slide the ring on to her finger and then stood up and kissed her.

They enjoyed the rest of their walk, holding hands. It was the brining of their lives together.

Meanwhile back over at Morgan's new house, to which they had moved into after the incident at Garcia's apartment building. Penelope was sitting on the couch with her legs propped up on a pillow. She was playing Mario kart with Jack and Morgan. "Derek, why do you cheat?" She teased as she kept wrecking her car and going over the edge.

"Well, maybe if you knew how to drive!" He teased back. "Jack's even driving better then you!" He stated a fact.

Jack sat there and laughed. "Aunt Penny, it's not that hard to drive. Just follow the road and watch out for the turtles!" He laughed as he passed Derek. He started laughing when he saw it. "Ha! I'm beating you too uncle Derek!"

Derek laughed. "Yeah not for long buddy, not for long." He said as the next thing he knew he was going over the edge too. He groaned in frustration.

Penelope laughed at him. "What's wrong handsome? Forgot how to drive?" She stuck her tongue out at him.

"Tease all you want, I'm beating you!" He laughed.

Just then the front door opened. "It's just us." Fran called out as they walked into the living room and smiled at seeing the three of them happy together. Almost like a family. She could see how Derek and Penelope would be with their own child after it was born.

"Hi Fran, do you know your son is beating me?" She frowned.

"Derek Michael Morgan! You do not treat women like that ever! Defiantly not your Baby Girl. Don't make me have to ground you young man." She said as she put her hands on her hips.

Derek's eyes went wide. "Mom! We are playing a video game. I'm beating her that way. No way would I ever hurt her!"

Rossi started laughing and Jack joined in.

Garcia couldn't help but to laugh at him.

Derek looked over at her. "You, young lady are getting me in trouble with my mother! How dare you!" He said and started tickling her.

She was wiggling some and laughing so hard. "I'm...I'm so...so sorry honey." She said and tried not to hit her ankle.

He stopped and then kissed her. "You are forgiven." He sat up. "Hey Jack, want to ride with Dave and I to get some dinner?"

"Yes!" He said and jumped off the couch.

"Well mama, we will be back soon. It will give you and mom some time to talk about the wedding." He said and kissed her before standing up.

"Thanks honey." She said and smiled as he left with Dave and Jack.

Fran smiled and sat down next to her. "How are you doing?" She asked.

"Hurts. I can't take anything for the pain because of the baby. So it's heating pads or ice packs. Derek worrying about me and making sure I'm not doing anything stupid to make it worse. He's a great guy." Penelope smiled at her.

"Derek is great. I couldn't have asked for a better son." She smiled. "So, where is your wedding folder? We can go over a few things while the boys are out." She stood up.

"It's on the desk over there." She pointed to the side of the room.

Fran walked over and picked it up. "Man sweetie, what do you have in here, a ton of bricks?" She teased as she walked back over and sat down.

"Samples, and patterns and ideas. I'm not using everything in it. Just looking for ideas or something I seen and just put in it." She said as she smiled.

Fran opened the folder and looked through it. "I like these." She pointed to some of the flowers.

Penelope looked over at them and smiled. But then something caught her attention and she looked over and saw a shiny ring on Fran's finger. "Holy pink cow! Fran, are you engaged?" Her eyes went wide as she looked at her.

Fran jumped when she heard Penelope's high pitched voice. She glanced over at her and smiled. "Yes, Dave asked me after lunch today." She said and held her hand out for Penelope to see the ring.

"Oh my, it's so pretty!" She smiled as she held her hand, looking at the ring. An idea popped in her head and she looked at Fran right away and spoke. "Oh! You know what would be perfect! Is a double wedding! We can make it work. It'll be amazing!" She smiled.

Fran looked at her. "Oh sweetie, I don't know, that seems to soon."

"Really? To soon? Mom, you've only been dating a month, and he asked you to marry him. So what if you get married in less then three months?" She said.

Fran nodded. "Ok, ok, I get it. But we'd have to talk to both Dave and um, let Derek know."

Just over half an hour later, the guys returned home and greeted the girls. They enjoyed their dinner together, Fran being scared to let Derek know about her and Dave just yet.

Derek and Fran were cleaning up after dinner as Penelope, Dave and Jack sat in the living room watching TV.

Penelope looked over at Dave. "I know, congratulations. I mentioned to her about a double wedding, but um, Derek needs to know first."

Dave looked at her in shock. "You want me dead, don't you kitten?" He asked.

"No, I just want you and mom to be happy, like Derek and I are." Penelope said as she glanced over at Jack who was sitting there plays another game.

Over at Hotch's place, he had made him and Emily a nice romantic dinner. It'd be their first meal alone together without Jack there. He loved his son, but it was nice to spend some time with Emily.

Emily finished her meal and leaned back in her chair. "That was really good Aaron. Thanks." She took a sip of her wine.

"Glad you liked it." He smiled at her.

"So, what's planned for desert?" She winked at him.

He about chocked on his wine when she said that. After coughing he looked at her. "Well, I didn't make anything up, but I'm sure we have cookies or ice cream I can get us."

Emily giggled at him as he was trying to play it cool. She stood up and walked over to him. She stopped in front of him. She smiled and leaned down to kiss him.

Aaron liked this side of Emily. He reached up and pulled her down onto his lap as he returned the kiss.

"I was thinking about...maybe...having...you as desert." She said between kisses.

Arron moaned into her kisses at hearing her. "Man, Emily, you sure know how to get a mans attention."

"Well, not just any man. Only my husband, but he won't be home for awhile, so if you want, we can and should move this to the bedroom." She laughed. She loved teasing him.

"EMILY!" He laughed and as he stood up, he picked her up and carried her to their bedroom. It'd be the first night they slept in the same bed as a married couple, and the first time to consummate their marriage.

"Yes Mr. Hotchner?" She kissed and licked his ear lobe.

"I love you Mrs. Hotchner." He smiled.

"I love you too." She said as Arron made it to the bedroom.

Over at JJ's, Reid was helping her out around the house. Henry would be going with his dad this weekend. "Henry, do you have your things together to go to your dads this weekend?" JJ asked as she walked into the living room and seen his sitting there.

Henry looked over at her. "I don't want to go mommy."

"Buddy, it's his weekend to spend time with you. I will see you in two days. I promise." She said at him. "So come on, lets get it all ready."

Henry got off the couch and went to his room. He packed a few clothes and some toys and books.

Just then there was a knock at the door. JJ walked over and answered it, knowing it was Will. "He's almost ready." She said.

Will nodded at her. "Thanks."

JJ nodded and looked down the hall. "Henry! Come on buddy! Your dads here now." She said.

Henry grabbed Reid's hand as he walked to the front door. "So, Sunday we can play catch?" Henry looked up at Reid.

"You better believe we will." He smiled. "Now go on, have a good weekend."

Henry hugged Reid and then hugged his mom. "Love you mommy. And don't let uncle Spencer forget are play date on Sunday."

JJ smiled at her son. "I promise I won't. Have fun buddy and I love you." She hugged and kissed her son.

Will took Henry's bag and then lead him out to the car.

JJ stood there as she watched Henry leave. It always hurt to see him leave.

Reid walked up and hugged her. "He will be back before you know it honey."

She smiled as she leaned against him. "Thanks babe, I don't know what I'd do with out you."

Live goes on, no matter what challenges come before you.
