Here is the final chapter. I am so sorry for almost giving up on this story, I struggled for months on how to finish this. Here is the end and if you stuck it out, I'm very thankful for you guys. ENJOY THE FINAL CHAPTER.
It had been a few months since Derek and Penelope welcomed a beautiful baby boy into the world. They named the little boy, Brandon Liam Morgan, he had the most beautiful eyes and he looked just like Derek as a child. He had Penelope's nose and he was always giggling. Derek was thinking of all the things he would have missed out on if she hadn't played that prank on him. He thought of Brandon, the first time he kissed her, the way she fit so perfectly into his arms. He wouldn't have felt complete without her. Today was their wedding day; he was standing at the altar waiting for her to walk towards him. Today was going to complete everything he had ever dreamed of. Today he was going to marry Penelope Garcia, the love of his life, the only woman on Earth that ever made him comfortable. Derek stood next to Hotch and Reid, anxious to see the woman who made his heart and life complete.
She was in the back room with JJ and Emily; she was nervously playing with the hair. JJ walked over and said,
"Stop it, Pen, you look gorgeous. Derek will become speechless when he sees you. Now hurry up, lets get you to Rossi so the ceremony can begin, it's almost time. I also think my Godson is waiting for his parents to get married!"
Penelope laughed, she thought of her son; she couldn't believe how much she loved being a mother. Now she was minutes away from being a wife and she couldn't lie and say she wasn't nervous. She got up from the chair, this goddess wasn't going to let a little nerves keep her and said,
"Let's get me hitched, girlies"
She walked out of the room and saw Dave standing there; he had a tear in his eyes. She could feel herself get a bit misty and Dave reached up and brushed a tear from her cheek.
"Now, kitten, don't cry. You are getting married today… plus seeing your tears breaks my old heart"
Pen smiled and kissed him on the cheek and Rossi held out his arm for her, which she gladly took. She was getting married now.
Derek stood next to Penelope at the reception; she was actually his wife now. They had the rings, the ceremony and everything. This was no longer just a wonderful dream, a desired fantasy, being Penelope's husband was now a reality. He held her hand as they listened to Hotch's best man speech. Hotch stood in front of everyone, with his typical posture, like he was about to deliver a profile.
" Hello, everyone welcome to the wedding everyone in my department has been betting on for the past I don't even know how many years…"
Spencer stood up and said," 7 years, 8 months and 23 days", Hotch just cracked a small smile and continued
" I have to say that in this job, love is a hard thing to find and even if you fine love, it's hard to keep it. I have watched this couple grow not as just individuals but as the couple you see now. The amount of times I had to keep them out of sexual harassment seminars was absolutely ridiculous. I have a great amount of respect for this couple and I with them the best for the future. Morgan, if you piss her off, I'm not helping you out… you are on your own."
The entire team laughed and you could hear a faint "I, second that" , that is when JJ stood up and took the microphone from Hotch.
"Today is the day when my best friend, no sister, married the love of her life. I will never forget the day when Hotch walked up to my desk and told me that she was shot. I have never been more afraid in my life, next to when Spencer was kidnapped. I remember sitting in the waiting room, holding Emily's hand, trying not to sob my heart out. When I saw Derek finally show up, I saw a completely broken man. That is when I knew they loved each other. There was this one case, actually it was Prentiss' first case, Hotch and Morgan were sent to a trap. The place exploded, they lost one squad member but when Penelope called Morgan the look of relief washed over her. I saw one tear slowly fall down her face; that is when I knew she loved him. I watched for years as they danced around each other. They are my family, along with my son and husband; no one in this world has ever cared about me as much as this team does. Today we celebrate their union and remember how important family is. I love you, Penelope. You were the sister I needed, the best friend who made everything better. Thank you for making my life that much brighter."
Penelope and Derek were holding hands and he stood up and took the microphone from JJ and looked at Pen.
" I'm going to sing you a song that makes me think of you. It's called "The Only One" by Hot Chelle Rae"
It's like technicolor in black and white
I felt like a boxer without a fight
A night in Vegas without all the lights
Before you
I could only see as deep as the skin
Before you
I never thought I could let anyone in
Before you
I was waiting for my life to begin
You are, you are the proof
that love is beautiful
You are, you are the truth
something unusual
You are, you are my fire
you're burning like the sun
You are, you are, you are
you are the only one
He walked back to her and held his hand out. He walked them to the dance floor and started to hold her close. He continued to serenade her.
My walls are falling and my white flag is high
I've surrendered to the feeling inside
I look in to your eyes and rewind
Before you
I could only see as deep as the skin
Before you
I never thought I could let anyone in
Before you
I was waiting for my life to begin
You are, you are the proof
that love is beautiful
You are, you are the truth
something unusual
You are, you are my fire
you're burning like the sun
You are, you are, you are
you are the only one
He moved her hand to his heart and held that hand tightly. Everyone around them didn't say a thing. The sight was beautiful. He held her hand over his heart.
Hand on my heart, feel how my heart beats (heart beats)
Hand on my heart, feel how my heart beats (heart beats)
(You are) Hand on my heart, feel how my heart beats (heart beats)
(You are) Hand on my heart, feel how my heart beats (heart beats)
You are, you are the proof
that love is beautiful
You are, you are the truth
something unusual
You are, you are my fire
you're burning like the sun
You are, you are, you are
you are the only one
You are, you are the proof
that love is beautiful
You are, you are the truth
something unusual
You are, you are my fire
you're burning like the sun
You are, you are, you are
you are the only one
He put the microphone in his pocket and kissed her deeply. He didn't care if anyone saw the passion between them, he looked into her eyes and he was lost in them.
This was the beginning of the next chapter of his life and who know, it was all started by a Pussycat Dolls ringtone.
