From This Moment On-Ch 25

Penelope sat laughing and talking with JJ and Emily as they helped her get into her dress and helped with her hair and makeup, when they were done she felt like a princess, like a beautiful princess that was finally getting her happily ever after, the future that she had always dreamed of, one filled with love, peace, joy, happiness and Derek.

JJ and Emily stood back and watched as Penelope stood up and turned to face the full mirror behind her, she gasped and said, "that can't be me, that can't be me", Emily said, "but it is PG, that is you", JJ smiled and said, "you look amazing, you look breathtakingly beautiful", Fran and Monica walked into the room and said in unison, "beautiful".

Penelope turned to face her soon to be mother-in-law and said, "do you really think so?", JJ, Em, Fran and Monica nodded their heads yes and Fran said ,"ohhhh yes honey, you look amazing", Penelope looked down at herself and then back up at the mirror and said, "I still can't believe that this is happening, I'm going to marry Derek, I'm going to be Mrs. Derek Morgan".

JJ giggled and said, "well believe it because it's happening", JJ and Emily in unison said, "finallyyyyyyy", Penelope blew out a deep breath and said, "I'll be honest with you ladies, I never ever thought that this would happen to me, I never dreamed that Derek and I would have a child together or that we'd be getting married".

Fran said, "why not sweetheart, we all saw it", Penelope said, "wait, what?", JJ said, "she's right Garcie, we've all always known that you and Morgan belong together, everytime you two are together it's obvious", Fran said, "my son has never and I do mean never felt about another woman the way he feels when he's with you".

Penelope said, "how do you know that?", Fran hugged her and said, "because he told me so", Penelope said, "he he he told you that?", she said, "he did, he told me that a long time before you two got together and gave me my handsome grandson", Penelope said, "but Savannah?", Fran said, "don't even get me started on that woman, she never loved Derek, she just wanted to keep him away form the woman he truly loved and wanted, she wanted to keep him away from you".

Emily said, "he broke up with her a couple of days before the two of you got together, he was going to tell you everything but then you, well you left", Penelope said, "if I could only turn back time", Fran said, "don't focus on what happened in the past, focus on your here and now and your future with Hank and Derek", hearing that made the bride to be smile.

Meanwhile out in the backyard the men were walking into the pool house, Derek said, "how much longer, I can't wait to see my baby girl?", Reid grinned and said, "only a few minutes now", Derek blew out a deep breath and said, "I've never loved a woman the way I love her, she's the air that I breathe, she's every beat of my heart, she's my everything, her and Hank are my life".

Dave put his hand on his step sons shoulder and said, "we know son, we know", Hotch said, "I'm so happy for the two of you Morgan, we all are, it's about time that the two of you finally get your happily ever after", Reid said, "you and Garcia are perfect together, you fit like two pieces of the same puzzle", Derek said, "wow Reid, that was deep", Reid laughed and said, "oh stop it, I'm serious" causing all of them to start laughing.

It was only a matter of a few minutes before Dave glanced down at his watch and said, "well it's time for me to go get kitten", Derek grinned and said, "and it's time for us to make our way outside", Reid and Hotch nodded their heads and followed the very nervous groom out of the pool house and into the backyard while Dave headed toward the mansion, it was time for the marriage of Derek and Penelope to finally happen, it was time for them to be together forever and get the lives they were always meant to have.
