Unbreak My Heart-Ch 39
Penelope and the girls were laughing as they plopped down on the couch, Sarah said, "so Penelope are ya nervous about marrying my brother tomorrow"?, she blew out a deep breath and said, "I am sooooooo nervous". JJ laughed and said, "I'm sure you remember how nervous I was when I married Spence"?, Penelope grinned and said, "I do, you were so nervous that you forgot your shoes and your bouquet".
Emily said, "ohhhh that's nothing, I was so nervous that I forgot my vows", Desi said, "that doesn't sound so bad", Emily said, "I was mortified, here I stood looking Aaron in the eyes and nothing, absolutely nothing was coming to my mind". Fran said, "when I married Dereks father I was so nervous that I couldn't remember my own name".
Penelope said, "girlies you aren't making me feel any better", Fran put her hand on his arm and said, "once you get to the front of the yard and are side by side with the man you are going to spend the rest of your life with you are going to be fine". She sighed and said, "do you really think so"?, the girls all in unison giggled and said, "yesssss" causing a smile to grace her lips.
Dave looked over at Derek who was looking out the window deep in thought, Reid looked at Dave and said, "is he alright"?, Dave said, "oh yeah kid he's fine, he's just thinking about his wedding tomorrow". Hotch said, "do you remember what happened to me right before the wedding started"?, Dave laughed and said, "yeah I do, you were so nervous that you forgot your shoes and socks".
Derek looked around and said, "who forgot their shoes and socks"?, Hotch held his hand up and said, "guilty as charged", Derek walked over to join them and said, "why were you so nervous"?, he blew out a deep breath and said, "I was afraid that Emily would come to her senses and decide that she didn't want to marry me, I was afraid that she would realize that she could find somebody better than me".
Reid said, "I was so nervous that when Jayje and I were reciting our vows I forgot my name and the minister had to remind me", the three men laughed as they looked at Spencer and Derek said, "you forgot your own name"?, he nodded his head and said, "I did and I was completely gobsmacked, it was like I was standing there looking at myself and I had no idea what to do".
Dave looked at Derek and said, "are you nervous about marrying kitten tomorrow"?, Derek took a swig of his scotch and said, "I am so nervous, what if she realizes that she doesn't want to be with me, what if I'm not good enough for her, what if"?, Hotch said, "slow down that thought train Morgan". Derek started taking a few deep breaths and listened as Hotch said, "Penelope loves you and she wants to be with you and trust me when I say that she wants to be with you for the rest of her life".
Derek smiled and said, "I don't know what I would do without her, she is the best thing that has ever happened to me", Reid said, "I feel the same way about Jayje,
I would be totally lost without her". Hotch said, "Em is my world, her and our son are my life", Derek looked at Dave and said, "speaking of love lives how are you and my mother doing"? Dave took a sip of his drink and said, "we're fine, justtttttttt fine".
Derek said, "as long as my momma's happy I'm happy", Dave nodded his head and said, "I promise you that I will not do anything to hurt your mother, I care about her Derek". He said, "I can tell that you care about her and she obviously cares about you to", Dave said, "she's a special woman", Derek laughed and said, "you don't know that half of it" causing all of the men to laugh.
A few hours later the women were all turning in and Penelope said, "I'm going to call hotstuff and tell him goodnight", the others watched as she then grabbed her cell and headed through the house. She dialed his number and after a few rings she heard, "hi baby", she said, "hiya yourself handsome", Derek said, "how are you all doing"?, she said, "we're good but I miss you".
Derek said, "I miss you to but in a few short hours we're going to be married", she grinned and said, "and I can't wait", he said, "me either", they talked for serveral minutes before she started yawning. Derek said, "you need to get some sleep", she said, "I would rather talk to you but we've got a long day tomorrow so I guess we really do need some sleep".
He said, "goodnight sweetness, I love you", she said, "goodnight sugar shack, I love you to", after the call ended they smiled as they rolled over onto their sides and closed their eyes and a few minutes later both happily drifted off to sleep.
