Desire-Ch 25

Payton smiled as he pulled back from hugging his sister and said, "you look so happy", she giggled and said, "I've never been happier Pay, hotstuff here is my world". Shelly clapped her hands and said, "ohhhhhhhh have you decided when you are going to get married"?, she bit down on her bottom lip and said, "we were hoping that we could get married here, like maybe in the backyard".

Payton said, "of course that's alright", Derek wrapped his arms around her and said, "I want my baby girl to have everything she wants", Penelope sighed happily as she relaxed into Dereks embrace. Shelly said, "ohhhhh what about if we put up an archway"?, Penelope said, "I love that", JJ said, "what about getting married in that huge gazabo"?, Payton said, "we could have it fixed up in no time P".

Shelly said, "dinner is ready, let's eat and then we will start planning", Derek intertwined fingers with Penelope as they headed through the house toward the kitchen. The kids were at the smaller table and were already eating by the time the adults got their food in their plates, Derek sighed happily as he looked at the beautiful woman beside him, he couldn't believe that they were finally going to get their happily ever after.

After dinner and after the kids were in bed the women were sitting at the kitchen table talking about dresses, flowers and food while the men were all in the huge backyard working on how they hoped things would go. Payton and Patrick walked over to Derek and Patrick said, "you've went through a lot with our sister", he nodded his head and said, "that's an understatement".

Peter looked over his shoulder and said, "what about if we put the archway right here where you start into the yard and then she can walk up a path and then she can step up into the gazaboo and join hands with you". Derek said, "I like it Pete", Payton said, "it's obvious that you and my sister are head over heels in love", he nodded his head yes in agreement.

Derek said, "I've been in love with your sister since the first day I saw her but things never worked out", Patrick said, "I hear ya there but it seems like that when you meet that person you are meant to spend the rest of your life with everything will eventually fall into place". Derek said, "finally is right, I mean I am farrrrrr from perfect but my heart has always and will always belong to your sister".

Payton said, "and she feels the same way about you", Derek said, "I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with Penelope, to grow old with her and watch as our family grows". Hotch said, "speaking of growing famalies any plans for kids"?, Derek said, "ohhhh I want a house filled with our kids", Payton said, "trust me the first time they put your child in your arms there is nothing like it".

Shelly looked at Penelope and said, "what were you thinking of for a dress"?, she said, "something like this" she said as she pointed to a picture of a beautiful dress on her computer screen. JJ said, "I'm sure we can find that downtown somewhere", Shelly said, "ohhhhh they have that dress at Tiffanys", Penelope said,
"soooooo how about tomorrow us girls go shopping"?, she couldn't help but giggle when she got a uninamous, "yessssssss".

Dave walked over to Derek and said, "you need to call your mom and let her know about the wedding because you know that she will want to be here, her and your sisters". Derek pulled his cell off his belt and said, "that's a good idea" as he walked across the yard, after a few rings he heard, "hello baby boy, how are things going"?, he laughed and said, "they are going great momma".

Fran laughed and said, "that's great honey", he said, "I have some news momma", she said, "good news I hope", he said, "the best news momma, me and baby girl are getting marrieddddddd". Fran said, "finally, I'm going to get those grandbabies you've been promising me all these years", he laughed and said, "mommaaaaa"
as he heard her telling his sisters in the background about the good news.

Fran said, "so when is the wedding"?, he said, "it's going to be within the next couple of days momma, do you think that you and the girls can make it"?, she said, "we will be there with bells on". Dave walked over and said, "tell your mom that our plane if fueled and ready", Fran said, "you tell that husband of mine that we will see him soon and that I love him".

Derek looked at Dave and said, "momma said that she would see you soon and that she loves you", Dave leaned in and said, "I love you to Bella" and then he headed back over to join the rest of the guys. Derek talked to his mom for a few more minutes before ending the call and walking back over to join his future brother in laws as they continued planning for the wedding.

Penelope looked down at her ring and JJ said, "that's beautiful", she held her hand up and said, "I was such a fool to believe Eric", Emily smiled and said, "don't blame yourself, he was a very good liar". Shelly said, "what about Dereks ex"?, Penelope said, "they haven't found her yet but they are still looking and I will be so relieved when they find her.

Amber stepped onto the airplane and grinned as she said, "you're on your on Eric" as she headed to her seat, she wasn't about to give up on Derek but right now things were to hot for her. After she sat down in her seat she said, "I'll wait till you come home and then it's on like donkey kong, I will get my man, one way or another" as she laid her head back against her seat.
