Six months later…

Garcia woke up alone in the bed. She did not like that feeling. Ever since she and Morgan had finally become a couple and gotten engaged, they hardly spent one night apart. She had even finagled her way into going on some of the over night trips just so that she could sleep in his arms.

Last night was rough.

Since they had since moved her things into the house they would share, and he moved out of his apartment, she stayed at JJ's and he stayed with Reid. Garcia pretended to be asleep when she heard little footsteps outside the door to the guest room. Henry crept in quietly and stood in front of Penelope and when she felt his little hand on her eyelid, she popped open her eyes and yelled, "Boo!"

Henry screamed and Will laughed as JJ sat straight up in the bed.

"Looks like Penelope is up", Will said laughing. "Probably scared poor Henry to death."

JJ chuckled, "Serves him right", she said. "But I'll go get him."

Morgan woke up in a cold sweat. He had had the most horrifying dream. He was walking down the aisle, ready to say I do, and when he leaned in to kiss Garcia and she lifted the veil, she was Medusa and her snake like hair started attacking him.

"You OK?" Reid said, running into the living room. "I heard screaming."

"Yeah I heard screaming last night, too", Morgan said wiping his brow and chuckling.

"Sorry", Kari said, blushing a bit, wearing one of Reid's shirts and her shorts. "What can I say? He excels at everything he does." She kissed Reid's cheek as she walked past him into the kitchen. He smacked her on her butt and she giggled.

"OK, you two are too cute", Morgan said, sticking out his tongue and making a face.

"Coffee?" Kari asked.

"Please", the boys said together.

"So what happened? You did scream", Reid said.

"I dreamt it was my wedding day and as I went to kiss Baby Girl, she turned into Medusa!"

"Oh, that's nothing. My mom said my dad was the Crypt Keeper and chased her around the room chopping off her limbs." Kari said.

"Are they still married?" Morgan asked, taking the steaming cup from Kari.

"35 years and counting. They waited to have me. My father's words: 'We were having too much fun. We didn't want you in an unstable environment.' Laughable. I still spent most of childhood on the road."

Morgan looked up and smiled. "The life of a band baby, huh?"

"You have no idea. I mean I love music, don't get me wrong, but my mom was still under contract, so she had one more tour to do before she could, as she likes to say, 'settle down to suburbia'." Kari laughed heartily. "We still traveled though. My mom still took me on the road to see shows with her old band mates, and Dad still got called in to play drums when someone couldn't. I never complained. The green room was fun, and when I got older, the stars were more so." She grabbed her coffee and Reid's and went to the sofa. "It's a good sign. She'll keep you on your toes."

"You love her", Reid said. "You're just nervous."

"I am." Morgan said. "And not that she won't show up or anything, but am I ready? Am I really husband material?"

"Of course you are, Silly", Kari said, sitting next to Morgan and punching him in the arm. Morgan said, 'ow", and punched her back, laughing. It was amazing how in such a short time, Kari had integrated herself into his life; all of their lives. She babysat for Emily and JJ, went shopping with Penelope for her dress and even asked Fran for advice. She was family and looking at the goofy look on Reid's face as he watched laughing, she'd be his wife soon.

"Remember, doubt is of the devil", she said, taking her coffee cup to the sink.

"Religion from "Ozzy's little sister?" Morgan said, laughing.

"And you know it!" Kari said, holding up her devil horns and sticking out her tongue. "My Love for God and my rock have nothing in common, but I know right from wrong. And you two are right."

"And so are we", Reid said, nuzzling her neck and hugging her close.

"Ugh", Morgan said mockingly. "I'm going to shower, Lovebirds."

"Take you time", Kari said, as Reid chased her into the bedroom giggling.

"I can't tell you how much I appreciate all of this", Rossi said as he and David Tutera shared a cups of tea at Rose's. "I know you wanted this to be a surprise for all of us, but can't I know a little something?"

"Not even my color scheme", David said with a smile. "This is such an honor for me. I've read every book."

"Because I autographed them and sent them", Rossi said, jokingly.

"Yes, but I never really read them, until recently. You're good. And so is, um, what's her name, kinda you protégé…"

"You're thinking of Kari Summers", Rossi said. "She quoted from a few of my works. She's actually a good friend. More like a daughter now. She's dating one of my colleagues."

"Then she can't go wrong", David said. "I've seen your colleagues. From that handsome brooding Aaron Hotchner and the nerdy but still oh-so-fine Dr. Reid to the gorgeous hunk of chocolate that's marrying Penelope," David said, fanning himself. "Oh if only cloning were legal, Doll."

"You behave", Rossi said, laughing, as they finished up their tea and left.

The couples arrived at the garden at exactly 3pm. The limo's were instructed to park in the front, and let the men out first, then the wedding party and then the brides and their respective men walking them down the aisle.

"Well", Rossi said, as he and Morgan exited the limo. "Ready to become family?"

The two men embraced dearly. "We already are, Pops."

*More tomorrow, hopefully! Thanks again for the love!*
