Derek Or Luke-Ch 39
The next few months passed by fast as Penelope and Derek were adjusting to living together, Hank had recovered and was back to his old playful self, which thrilled Derek and Penelope. The wedding was only a few hours away and a very nervous Penelope sighed happily and blew out a deep breath as she paced back and forth across the bridal room at the church.
Savannah and Adam were sentenced to 15 years in prison for their attempt to kidnap Hank at the hospital, Savannah gave birth to a beautiful little girl that she named Stephanie after her sister. With both of Stephanies parents in prison Savannahs parents took her in and made sure that she had a loving home.
Derek smiled as he looked down at his watch and saw the time was getting closer and closer for him to marry the woman that has always owned his heart. He was pulled from his thoughts when he heard someone knock on the door, he said, "come in", the door opened to reveal the smiling faces of Luke and Samantha.
Luke and Samantha started dating a couple of days after they met and had since then become almost imseperable when he was in town, Samantha had quickly become a permanent fixture in his life. Samantha grinned as she wrapped her arms around him and said, "congratulations Derek, you and Penelope are going to have a wonderful life together".
He smiled and said, "thanks Samantha and thank you both for coming", Luke shook hands with Derek and said, "so how nervous are you"?, Derek laughed and said, "I almost forgot my shoes, twice". Luke grinned and said, "that's pretty nervous", Derek nodded his head and said, "yeahhhh it sure is man, it sure is".
Samantha said, "where's Hank"?, Derek said, "he's with momma right now, he's the ring bearer and he's so excited", Luke said, "have you heard anything else from Savannah"?, he shook his head and said, "no, nothing since Stephanie was born". Luke said, "so what does Hank think about Penelope being his mommy"?, Derek said, "he's so happy, he loves her as much as she loves him".
Luke said, "I hope you know that I wish you nothing but joy, love and happiness", he nodded his head and said, "I know and thanks", he smiled and said, "any time Derek, any time".Samantha said, "I'm going to go check on Penelope", Derek said, "can you tell her I love her and I'm counting the minutes until we get married"?, she said, "awwwww, I sure will", she then kissed Luke and said, "love you", he said, "love you to" before she turned around and headed out of the room.
As she headed up the hall she ran into Hotch and Reid who was heading to the grooms room, she said, "I'm on my way to check on the bride", Reid said, "how was Derek"?, she said, "trying not to be nervous but you can see it allllllll over him". Hotch said, "I was so nervous the day I married Emily that I forgot my vows", causing them to laugh.
Reid said, "we won't hold you up, we'll see you out front", she smiled and said, "see you out front" and then continued the rest of the way up the hall toward the bridal room. Penelope was smiling and talking to JJ, Em, Sarah and Desiree when she heard a knock at the door, JJ walked over and opened the door and said, "come in Samantha, come in".
Samantha said, "ohhhh Penelope you're breathtaking", she twirled around and said, "do you think Derek is going to like it"?, she said, "ohhh honey he isn't going to be able to keep his hands off of you tonight, trust me". Emily said, "I still don't understand why you wanted to wait till your wedding night to sleep with Derek".
Penelope said, "I wanted everything to be perfect and what other way would be perfect than if we waited till we were married to sleep together for the first time". Samantha said, "so where are you going on your honeymoon"?, she said, "we decided to stay in town and be close to Hank so we're gonna be staying at the honeymoon suite at the Rosemont".
Samantha said, "ohhhh that's niceeeee", Emily said, "it sure is, me and Aaron stayed there one weekend and let's just say that a couple of months later I found out I was pregnant with Jack". Fran said, "let's just hope that their honeymoon jumpstarts my grandchildren because" and Desiree and Sarah said, "YOU'RE NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER" causing everybody in the room to laugh.
They were still laughing when Dave knocked on the door and said, "can I come in"?, Fran looked down at her watch and said, "ohhhh it's time honey, it's time". Emily opened the door and said, "come on in Dave", he opened the door and said, "ohhhh kitten you are gorgeous", she said, "thank you my Italian stallion", he winked at her and said, "are you ready to become a married woman"?, she smiled and said, "more than ready, more than ready".
Everybody hugged Penelope before making their way out the door, Penelope said, "where's Hank"?, Dave said, "he's right here in the hall with Henry, he's so excited about being the ring bearer". Penelope said, "Hank and Derek mean the world to me and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with them".
Dave held out his arm and said, "shall we kitten"?, she looped her arm through his and said, "we shall" as they headed out into the hall to join the others.
