What Doesn't Kill Us-Ch 29
Penelope looked up to see Fran and the girls pushing a couple of carts into the room and on one was a wedding cake, she said, "ohhhhh Fran it's beautiful", she said, "I didn't have a lot of time to get it ready". Derek said, "it's so beautiful momma", Dave kissed his wife on the lips and said, "you did a great job my love".
They pushed the cart over and handed the newlyweds the knife and as they slid the knife through the cake JJ and Emily snapped picture after picture, Derek put a piece of cake into the saucer and they both picked up a bite and put it gently into the others mouth. Derek then leaned down and kissed her lips gently and said, "I love you" as they pulled apart.
The doctor stepped forward and said, "congratulations you two", Penelope smiled and said, "thank you so much", Fran stepped forward and said, "we have cake and food, please stay and tell the nurses and doctors they are more than welcome to celebrate with us". She laughed as Reid handed her a cup of punch and a piece of cake.
As the party continued Hotch walked out into the hall when his cell started ringing, he recognized the number and said, "hello", he smiled and said, "yes sir,
I'll tell them". He stood there and said, "and when does this start"?, he nodded his head and said, "yes sir", he said, "thank you again for everything you've done to help us with this matter".
After the call ended he headed back inside and walked over to Emily and kissed the side of her neck, she said, "where did you go"?, he said, "important call that I had to take". She turned around and said, "does that mean what I think it means"?, he wrapped his arms around her and kissed her lips and said, "indeed it does sweetheart, indeed it does".
JJ smiled as she looked down at the smile on her friends faces, they had been through a lot on this case and it was about time that they finally got some much deserved happiness. Sarah and Desiree handed the newlyweds a plate and Sarah said, "congrats baby brother and welcome to the family Penelope", Derek kissed her on the cheek and said, "thanks big sis and you to twirp".
Desiree said, "heyyyyyyyy are you gonna call me that forever"?, he hugged her tight and said, "yeahhhhhhh probably", Desi wrapped her arms around her brother and said, "you look happy Derek, so very very happy". He kissed the top of her head and said, "I've never been this happy before, Penelope is my life and I don't know what I would have done without her".
Penelope intertwined their fingers and said, "I'm here handsome and I'm not going anywhere, you're stuck with me", he grinned and said, "sooooo Mrs. Morgan what is the first thing you want to do when you get home"?, she sighed happily and said, "cuddle with my husband on our couch and maybe watch a movie or two or you know a dozen" causing everybody to laugh.
Dave walked over to Hotch and said, "I saw you head out earlier, is everything alright"?, he nodded his head yes as he took a sip of punch and said, "everything is great and in a little while they are going to get better". Dave smiled and said, "does that mean what I hope it means"?, he said, "yep and they should be here with her in a few minutes".
Dave said, "where is she going to stay until Penelope gets out of the hospital"?, Hotch said, "she's going to stay with us until then", he said, "I'm glad that we were able to get Tamara to agree to this". Hotch said, "me to Dave but she was between a rock and a hard place", he looked over at Derek and Penelope and said, "have you told them yet"?, he said, "nope, thought I would let it be a surprise", Dave grinned and said, "you're a sneaky man, I love it" as they both took another drink of their punch.
About an hour later Penelope looked up when she heard a knock at the door, she smiled when she saw a little girl standing at the door holding hands with who she assumed was a social worker. They stepped inside and the woman said, "my name is Sharla Newcomb and this is Alexis Barnes", Penelope waved at the little girl and said, "hi sweetie".
Alexis smiled at her and whispered, "hiiiii" as she hung to Sharlas side, Derek said, "are either of you hungry, we have food and cake"?, the little girls eyes light up and she said, "is it chocolate"?, Penelope said, "definitley, would you like some"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes please". Derek quickly got the little girl a piece of cake.
She was up in the bed beside Penelope talking when he turned around, Derek handed the cake over and said, "here you go baby girl", the little girl gently humped up to Penelope as she started eating her cake.
