About 15 minutes later, Rossi heard a helicopter hover gently and touch down in the field close to his home. The wedding party ran out into the front yard and watched as a frazzled Reid plummeted from the helicopter. Helicopter flying obviously did not agree with him. Morgan ran over to him.
"Keep Kari back", Reid yelled over the noise. "I don't want her to see me like this!"
Rossi ran over to the men, and waved back the girls.
"We'll meet you inside!" Rossi said, as the whirl of the helicopter died down.
The men were exiting the helicopter when Rossi felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Hi!" the man said excitedly. "I'm Arty in the Sky with Channel Four News!"
"I'm aware", Rossi said chuckling as he and Morgan helped Reid to get steady.
"We've been following this story since we saw him on the freeway with my friend Jason and we'd love to film the wedding live if possible!"
Reid looked up at Rossi. "If Kari's OK with it, then alright. I really owe them one."
Morgan sent a quick text to JJ to ask and got a reply in about 10 seconds.
"Kari says she fine with it, Pretty Boy."
"Me thinks I'm not so pretty", Reid said, bending over to throw up.
"Think we can edit that out?" Rossi asked.
"It's a done deal", Arty said. "Now, let's go get us a wedding!"
About 20 minutes later, after they helped Reid clean up, and everyone was seated again, Rossi met Kari at the back of the room outside the door.
"You ready, Bellissima?" Rossi asked, taking her arm.
"As I'll ever be", Kari said.
"By the way, what song are we walking down to?" Rossi said.
At the end of the question, the doors opened and the cue was given. "Sweet Child O' Mine" by Guns N Roses started playing.
"What a choice!" Rossi said, and then he paused. "This song is about his wife having a baby. Are you…?"
"We should probably start walking, Gramps", Kari said, winking. At that, Rossi smiled so brightly and continued to walk Kari down the aisle.
"She sure picked a rocker", Reid said, lighting up when he saw Kari.
"Pretty Boy", Morgan said. "You do know what this song is about, right?"
"Should I?" Reid said.
Morgan clapped him on the back. "You'll know in a second." Kari walked up to him and the audience sat down.
"Did you like the song?" Kari said.
"It was nice", Reid said.
"Did you listen to the words?" Kari said.
The minister began his speech.
"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today…"
"Wait", Reid said.
"What's wrong, Reid?" Morgan said, smiling.
"Sweet child O' Mine", Reid said.
"Ah, it took you long enough", his Diana Reid said.
"Am I missing something?" the minster said. One by one the audience gasped and awed.
Spencer grabbed Kari's face and kissed her deeply. Tears ran down her eyes and she hugged him tight.
"Wait, wait, wait!" the minister said. "You not supposed to kiss yet!"
"She's having his baby man!" Morgan said, cracking up as Spencer and Kari continued to kiss and hug.
"Are we positive?" Reid said.
"As positive as two tests and a blood test!" Kari said. "Are you happy?"
"Beyond words." Spencer said.
The minister smiled. "Now how am I supposed to compete with this?" he said, laughing.
"Do you Kari…"
"Yes! She said before he finished.
"OK, and do you Spencer…"
"You know I do!" he interrupted.
"Oh boy", he said as Spencer and Kari started kissing again. "OK guys, we gotta finish this."
Spencer and Kari disconnected form each other. They finished the vows and when the minister pronounced them, Arty in the Sky yelled "Whoo Hoo!"
The reception was in full swing when Penelope's phone started going off.
"What's up Mama?" Morgan said, handing her a drink.
"Reid and Kari's wedding just went viral!" she said. "It's on the news, social media, you name it!"
"Let me see!" Morgan said, taking her phone. "They're calling it the wedding of the century! Look they even got a shot of Reid stumbling out of the helicopter!"
The party continued on for hours. Around 9 pm, Kari was sitting with Reid, her head contentedly lying in his shoulder.
"How far along? I never really asked you", Reid said.
"Three weeks", Kari said. Suddenly the iPad on her lap started to ring and vibrate.
"Kari? Kari!" the voice yelled.
"Momma?!" Kari said, sitting straight up. The BAU team gathered around and Reid scooted closer.
"Hi Baby!" Mrs. Summers yelled back." Dad's here too!"
"Mom", Kari said. "You don't have to yell! I can hear you!"
"Honey you're yelling too", Reid said, laughing.
"Oh", Kari said smiling.
"Hi ya, Kiddo!" Mr. Summers said, coming into the picture. "Thanks for letting us see the wedding!"
"You saw?" Kari said.
"Yes! It was all over, that internet thing of yours. We even saw Spencer being carried away in the helicopter!"
"That must have been fun!" Mrs. Summers said.
"Oh yes, a blast", Spencer said sarcastically. Kari nudged him.
"We just wanted to call you Honey and tell you we are so proud of you! When we get back to the States, we're coming for a visit!" Mrs. Summers said.
"Try to not to be big as a house by then!" Mr. Summers said, laughing.
"Dad! You got the song!"
"I knew from the opening strings! That's my rock goddess!" He held up his devil horns and stuck his tongue out.
"I see where she gets it", Morgan said laughing.
"Who's all there?" Mrs. Summers said.
"It's…" Kari looked around and smiled. "It's my family, Momma. This is Reid's best friend Derek…"
"Hi guys!" Morgan said.
"His beautiful wife Penelope…"
"Hiya folks!" she said.
"My friend JJ and her husband Will and their son Henry!" They waved happily in the background.
"This is Emily and her husband Aaron and their sons Jack and Jakob!" They waved happily at the screen.
"And this is David Rossi and his wonderful wife Fran. They're... my you while you're not here." Kari looked up at Rossi and smiled.
"I want to thank you Sir", Mr. Summers said, choking up a bit. "I want to thank you for walking my baby girl down the aisle."
"Anytime", Rossi said, hugging Kari.
They talked a little while longer about the pregnancy and where they were going for the honeymoon when Kari's eyes started to droop.
"Spencer, get her to bed", Mr. Summers said.
"Daaad", Kari said, and the team started laughing.
"I meant to sleep, duh", he said laughing. "You're a about to pass out."
The team, Kari and Spencer said they're goodbyes as the cleaning crew started to move about.
Kari stood up and reached for Spencer's hand. "Care to take me home?" Kari said.
"Absolutely. Wait no, I can't. My car is still on the freeway."
"Well, then I guess we're spending the night", Kari said.
"Um, no can do, oh surrogate children of mine", Fran said. "You two kids need to be alone. Dave, can you drive them to their car?"
"Not a problem, Bella", David said, grabbing his keys.
"Actually", a voice said loudly behind Fran as she gasped loudly, "there is a bit of a problem."
One of the cleaners had stopped and had a gun pointed to the temple of Fran Rossi. The others huddled in a corner and tried to leave through the garden door.
"Please don't. I'm afraid none of you can leave." He looked around. Only Rossi, Fran, Reid, Kari were visible. All the rest of team had left.
"Why don't we all sit down", the man said. "Get comfortable. We're going to be here a while."
