Hey everyone, here is the next chapter for you all. I hope you all enjoy this chapter. It's time for a wedding! Yeah, I just had to throw in that Doctor Who Reference in the last chapter. For the purposes of this story, the law has changed in Chicago by now and they can get married. I hope you all enjoy this and I must admit I'm super nervous about this chapter as I've never done a same-sex wedding before in my writing. I just hope it's okay and you all like it. There is also a surprise in this for those who like a certain character. Sorry for the delay in updating but it was Easter weekend. Enjoy and I look forward to hearing from you all.
Thank you so much for all the reviews, you're awesome and I love you all to bits. Thank you!
Enjoy and please review
All mistakes are my own
Two weeks later
Reid waited nervously as everything got prepared inside the hall, he felt a little sad his mother wasn't able to come, he had told her about his sexuality and the wedding and she had given him her blessing. His mother had told his father though and that had caused some trouble. William did not receive the news that his son was gay very well. He didn't think it was natural but Reid didn't care, he had long ago considered his father just someone who had abandoned him for nothing more than a lonely life. Garcia came down through the double doors with a large grin on her face. "Hey, baby boy, every is going to plan and will be ready in a minute. Morgan is waiting for you and he can't wait."
"Is Fran and everyone okay?" he asked.
"They're seated and waiting for you, I hope you didn't mind coming to Chicago for the wedding, it's Morgan's hometown and this hall is perfect, especially as it's above a library."
"It's perfect, Garcia," he grinned. "Everything is better than I could have imagined."
"Wait till the reception, it'll be one hell of a celebration," she said before adjusting his tie. She put her hand on his cheek and felt tears come to her eyes.
"Why are you crying, Garcia?"
"I'm just so happy for you. You've found someone who loves you and will always protect you. I know that Martin hurt you but you've come so far since then and I want Morgan and you to have a full and wonderful life together."
"You've helped us get to where we are," he said before grabbing a tissue and wiping her make-up before it could run. He hugged her and knew that no matter what happened, she would always be there for Morgan and himself. He came away when he heard music begin inside the hall. Garcia wiped her eyes and hooked her arm into his. "Thank you for agreeing to walk me to Derek."
"You're my baby boy and you're aren't his pretty boy properly till I give you away."
The doors opened to show a hall decorated to the edges and everyone standing to look at him. Morgan saw him in his blue suit and had a huge smile come to his face, Garcia patted his arm and they began to walk down the aisle together. He stopped to give Fran a kiss on the cheek before coming to the end of the aisle. Garcia looked at Morgan. "You keep my baby boy safe and happy, Derek Morgan."
"I will, baby girl."
Garcia gave Reid a kiss to his cheek and then handed him over to Morgan.
Reid faced Morgan with a smile that hurt because it was so big, he looked at Morgan in his cream suit and blue tie. "You look good," Reid whispered.
"You too," Morgan whispered back. Morgan nodded to Rossi, who had managed to get himself officiated to marry them. Something else Garcia had kept secret till the night before.
"Everyone, please sit," Rossi said. Everyone sat down and silence descended over the hall. "We are here today to witness this union of two wonderful men who have been inseparable from the moment I met them both. First as friends and after today, they will forever be inseparable as husband and husband. The best thing for us in this world is to find someone to walk with us in it, through the good times and bad. Derek and Spencer have chosen to walk the world together. They have both prepared their own vows and I invite them to say them now. Derek, please say your vows."
Morgan looked at Reid and took a deep breath. "Spencer, I have thought about you since the day I met you and even though we began as friends, I'm happy that we continue on our journey as two people joined together by love and marriage. I know that we've both been through hardships and that together we've overcome some dark people and some dark memories. I want you to know that no matter what happens, I'll be here to protect you, to love you and I'll stay by your side through everything and anything in life. I love you and I'll never leave you. Today, I become yours forever."
"Spencer, your vows," Rossi gently said.
Reid took a moment after hearing Morgan's vow. He took a deep breath and began. "Derek, you're a wonderful man and I know that without you and your support, I wouldn't be standing here today. I've never felt safer than when I'm in your arms and I know that you'll always protect me from those who would try to hurt me. You've helped me overcome so much and I'm grateful to have you at my side now and forever. Today, I promise to always be at your side and to protect you as best I can, to love you no matter what happens and to give you all of my heart. I love you and I'm yours from this day on."
They smiled at each other as they looked to Rossi.
"Spencer, please present your ring."
Henry came forward and gave Reid the ring. "Thanks, Henry," he whispered. Henry smiled and went back to JJ.
"With this ring, I pledge myself to you and ask you to always be my husband," Reid said as he slid the ring on Morgan's finger.
"Derek, present your ring."
"With this ring, I pledge myself to you and ask you to always be my husband," Morgan said as he slid the ring on Reid's finger.
Rossi grinned at them both. "Spencer Walter Reid, do you take Derek Vincent Morgan to be your husband?"
"I do," Reid answered.
"Derek Vincent Morgan, do you take Spencer Walter Reid to be your husband?"
"I do," Morgan answered.
"With the power invested in me, I pronounce you husband and husband. Morgan, you may now kiss the genius."
Reid and Morgan kissed and the hall erupted in applause, they came away from each other with huge grins on their faces. Garcia rushed forward and hugged them both. "Oh there you are, my two wonderful men."
Reid clapped as he watched Morgan do a disco dance with Henry, he turned around when someone tapped his shoulder. His eyes widened as he took in the sight of the person who had tapped his shoulder. "Oh my god! Emily," he said gleefully before hugging her.
"Hey, Reid," she smiled. "I'm so sorry I wasn't at the wedding, I was supposed to arrive before the ceremony but the damn plane got diverted due to weather."
"That's okay, you're here now and that's all the matters. Let's dance."
He pulled Emily to the dance floor and over to Morgan, she was quickly enveloped in a big hug by Morgan. Emily got twirled back to Reid where she grabbed his arms and began to dance with him.
