Derek Or Luke-Ch 43
Epilogue- 5 Years Later
Derek and Penelope were hosting the annual Christmas get together and the house was filled with family, Derek and Penelope were now the parents of 3 beautiful babies. The twins Amber and Ashley came on their first anniversary, they were welcome gifts to a new family and when the twins were 3 Penelope gave birth to a son who they named James Derek Morgan aka Jamie.
JJ and Spencer had welcomed a son named Michael who was now 4 and a surprise 3 months ago, a little girl named Olivia, she was the spitting image of Spencer with blond hair. Reid grinned as he watched her running around the living room chasing Amber and Ashley, as he looked around the room he couldn't believe how much his life had changed in the past few years.
Hotch and Emilys family grew 3 years ago when they welcomed a son named Ethan into their little family, Jack of course who was now 10 was the doting big brother. Hotch couldn't help but smile as he watched the brothers playing in the sandbox with Henry and Michael, Emily looked up and winked at her husband and blew him a kiss before taking another sip of her lemonade.
Luke and Samantha were married about 9 months after Derek and Penelope and 9 months to the day later little Jacob Riley was born and was the light of his fathers world. Samantha was currently 6 months pregnant with twin daughters Paige and Paisley who couldn't wait to be able to spoil her daughters both rotten.
Dave smiled as he watched Desiree and Sarah sitting around snuggling with their new husbands, he had a feeling that soon more grandbabies would be coming into their little clan. Fran walked over and said, "what's on that mind of yours David Rossi"?, he sighed and said, "I was just thinking about how lucky we are Bella, that's all".
She nodded her head and said, "that we are my handsome husband, that we are", they looked up in time to see Hank handing one of his sisters a toy that she had dropped. Dave said, "he's so good with them", she said, "he reminds me a lot of his father in that way, he would do everything he could to help with his sisters.
Hank was so happy to be a big brother, he loved to help his mommy help with the babies and she was sure to give him all the praise for helping her, Derek was all smiles as he watched his now 8 year old son helping his 4 year old twin sisters and his 1 year old brother. Derek looked up when he felt a hand on his shoulder, he grinned when he saw Dave standing there.
Dave said, "we're two of the luckiest men in the world aren't we son"?, Derek sighed happily and said, "that we are Dave, that we are", he then looked over his shoulder and saw Penelope standing over looking up at the pictures and certificates that were hanging on the wall. He said, "excuse me Dave", Dave said, "of course" and then watched as Derek walked over toward his wife.
Penelope grinned when she felt two arms wrapping around her, he kissed the side of her neck and said, "whatcha looking at sweetness"?, she said, "this little certificate right here" as she pointed at the adoption decree that allowed her to legally adopt Hank. Derek said, "I don't know who was more excited that day, you or Hank, he finally got the one thing he'd always wanted, a mommy that loves him".
They both turned around and watched the hustle and bustle going on and sighed happily as Penelope said, "it doesn't get any better than this does it handsome"?, he kissed the top of her head and said, "no it doesn't baby girl, no it doesn't". A few minutes later they were pulled back over to join the others when Desirees husband Steven said, "come on guys it's time for the family photo".
Derek intertwined fingers with his wife and said, "shall we princess"?, she giggled and said, "we shall my prince", Steven said, "everybody ready"?, the room was filled with "yessssssss". He laughed and quickly ran over to join his wife and Desiree said, "everybody say cheeseeeeeeee", right before the camera clicked everybody said, "cheeseeeeeeeeee" thus adding another perfect family moment for an amazing family.
