Unbreak My Heart-Ch 40

The next morning Penelope woke up early and got dressed before heading downstairs for some coffee, she was sitting at the table eating a piece of fruit when the rest of the girls came into the kitchen. She looked up and said, "morning girlies", they all laughed and said, "morning" as they poured themselves a cup of coffee and joined her at the table.

Fran said, "how are you doing this morning"?, she said, "so far so good but I woke up starving so I grabbed the fruit plate out of the fridge, I hope that's alright Fran"?, she said, "it sure is honey, that's what I got it for, I figured that we wouldn't have much time this morning so I fixed some fresh fruit for everybody for breakfast".

The girls started digging in to the fruit as Emily said, "how are the nerves today"?, Penelope swallowed her bite of strawberry and said, "so far so good Em but I'm sure the closer it gets to wedding time the more nervous I'm going to get". Sarah smiled and said, "don't worry sis, we're going to take good care of you and before you know it you will be a married woman" causing her to smile.

Derek woke up and smiled knowing that in a few hours he was going to be married to the love of his life and he couldn't wait, he had been up for almost an hour when Dave came into the kitchen. Dave said, "morning", Derek said, "morning", he poured himself a cup of coffee and said, "how long have you been up"?, Derek glanced at his watch and said, "about an hour".

Dave walked over and said, "I have some fresh donuts and muffins" as he sat them ont he table, Derek opened the box and grabbed a chocolate donut and took a bite and said, "this is delicious". He said, "I get them at Matties up the road about half a mile", Derek said, "I can't believe that in a few hours I'm going to be married to the best thing that has ever happened to me".

Dave put his hand on Dereks shoulder and said, "kitten is a great woman for sure, you are a lucky man", Derek nodded his head in agreement and said, "that she is Dave,
that she is". It wasn't long before the others came into the kitchen and Henry said, "yayyyyyyy donuts", Reid handed his son a donut while Jack reached and grabbed muffin and started eating.

Fran looked down at her watch and said, "well girls we've got to get started", JJ nodded her head and said, "are you ready Garcie"?, she rinsed out her cup and then said, "more than ready". As they headed toward the door Emily said, "Aaron wants me to text him when we get ready to start up the driveway so that they can keep Derek away from the windows".

Penelope said, "I'm starting to get nervous", Fran put her hand on her future daughter in laws and said, "don't worry honey when you see his happy smiling face all of that will leave". She looked around at the girls who were all nodding their heads yes in agreement", Sarah and Desiree ran upstairs and grabbed Penelopes things and were giggling when they came back into the dining room.

Emily said, "did you get it"?, Sarah grinned and said, "yepppppp, everything's ready", Penelope said, "what are you girls up to"?, Emily said, "I'm hurt that you think that we are up to anything". Penelope patted her foot and said, "you're not going to tell me are you"?, the girls all laughed and in unison said, "nopeeeeeeee" causing Penelope go grin as they headed out the door.

Dave looked at Derek and said, "son I believe that you forgot something", he said, "what"?, they all looked down at his feet and saw that he had forgot his socks and shoes. Hotch laughed and said, "let's take you and get you dressed shall we"?, he ran his hand over his head and said, "yeahhhhh let's do that", as they headed out into the hall Dave laughed and shook his head.

A few minutes later Emily sent Hotch a message simply saying, "WE'RE HERE", they then got out of the car and headed inside, when they stepped inside Sarah and Desiree said, "wowwwww". Fran said, "this place is amazing isn't it"?, Penelope said, "it's beautiful", Emily said, "that it is buttttttt we have less than 30 minutes to get you ready".

As they ran up the stairs Penelope grinned knowing that in less than 30 minutes she would be marrying the love of her life
