Penelope walked into her house and sighed as she kicked off her shoes, she walked over and laid her things down and headed upstairs to change her clothes, as she headed up her stairs she took a deep breath and then yawned. A few minutes later she walks downstairs in gown and heads into the kitchen to fix herself a cup of tea.
She grabbed a bag of her favorite cookies on her way back through to the living room, she put them down on the table and took a sip of tea as she sat down on the couch. She then grabbed the remote and turned to the old movie channel that she loved to watch, she ate a few cookies and drank her cup of tea before laying down on the couch to watch the movie.
As she laid there her eyes were getting heavy, very heavy, she closed her eyes for just a minute and then woke up to the sound of someone calling her name, she opened her eyes and say JJ standing there. She sat up and rubbed her eyes and said, "Jayje, what's wrong"?, she said, "mam you need to get dressed", she then noticed that she wasn't on the couch anymore but she was in a gorgeous bed.
She threw back the covers and said, "where are we going"?, she said, "have you forgotten that you and I are to accompany your father to town today"?, she looked at JJ and said, "my father, what"?, she said, "we must get you ready because the carriage will be leaving in a few minutes and you know how your father gets when we're late".
Penelope felt herself being dragged toward a huge closet, JJ said, "what about this outfit mam"?, she said, "Jayje why are you calling me mam and why are you dressed like that"?, JJ looked down at herself and said, "this is my uniform mam". Penelope said, "uniform, what are you talking about, you don't work for me you are my best friend, well outside of Derek".
JJ said, "Derek, who's Derek"?, she said, "he's my hotstuff, my chocolate drop", she covered Penelopes mouth and said, "shhhhh you're father will hear you miss and you will be in trouble". She said, "trouble, why"?, she looked down and said, "you know why mam, these are strange times and we must tread carefully so we don't step out of line".
As Penelope changed her clothes she couldn't help but wonder just what else was different", JJ smiled and said, "there you go mam, you look beautiful", she said,
"thanks Jayje". JJ said, "are you sure that you're alright mam, you aren't acting like yourself", Penelope smiled down at her friend and said, "I'm fine and we better get downstairs before my father gets angry", JJ nodded her head in agreement as she followed behind Penelope as they headed down the stairs.
When they stepped into the huge foyer she said, "wowwwwwww, we really live here"?, JJ laughed and said, "yes mam, and you have since you were 3 and I was born here mam". She opened her mouth to say something and she heard someone calling her name, she looked around to see David Rossi standing there, he held out his hand and said, "you look beautiful, daughter".
She walked over and said, "thank you father", he said, "are you two ready to journey to town with me"?, they nodded their heads and Penelope said, "yes we are father" as they headed out toward the carriage. Dave was helped up into the carriage first and then Penelope held her hand out and smiled as she saw Hotch standing
She said, "thank you", he said, "you're welcome mam", he then helped JJ and she said, "thank you Aaron", he said, "have a nice day sir", Dave tipped his hat and said, "take care of things while I'm away today Aaron". He nodded his head and said, "yes sir" as he watched the carriage pull away, he then headed inside to the kitchen and looked around before walking over and wrapping his arms around his beautiful girlfriend Emily.
She sighed happily as she felt Aarons lips on her neck, she said, "we can't do this, if we get caught we will both be in a lot of trouble", he kissed her lips gently and said, "I love you Emelia". She caressed his cheek and said, "and I love you Aaron" as she leaned in for a gentle kiss, when they pulled apart Aaron said, "how about when we are through with our chores for the night we take a walk down by the pond"?, she said, "that sounds nice".
He was getting ready to lean in for another kiss when they heard someone coming toward the kitchen and he said, "after you get done with the dishes you need to head upstairs and change the bed clothes on Ms. Penelopes bed". Emily nodded her head and said, "yes sir", he winked at her before turning around and heading out of the room.
Penelope was enjoying the ride, the weather was amazing and the smell of wild flowers was heavenly, Dave looked at JJ and said, "Jennifer how are things with you and your betrothed Spencer"?, she smiled and said, "very well sir, he will be coming for a visit soon". Dave smiled and said, "excellent and of course he will be staying with us at the mansion", she said, "thank you sir, he would be honored".
The rest of the ride to town was in silence but when their carriage stopped she looked across the street and saw him, there was her hotstuff, her chocolate drop. when he looked up he smiled causing her heart to race, JJ glanced up the street and saw who she was looking at and said, "Ms. are you ready to do some shopping"?, she said, "what, sorry"?, Dave said, "Jenniffer please get her to pick out several dresses because we are going to be having company soon".
Penelope looked and said, "company, father"?, Dave touched her cheek and said, "yes Bella, Sam and Kevin are coming for a visit", she said, "but why father, why are they coming for a visit"?, he said, "that's easy they are here to ask for your hand". She said, "to ask for my what"?, he said, "to ask for your hand in marriage Penelope", her heart dropped at the thoughts of being forced into marriage, especially when the love of her life was across the street and there wasn't a thing she could do to be with him, at least not now.
JJ said, "are you ready mam"?, she nodded her head and said, "yes Jenniffer", as they made their way toward the stores, before stepping inside she looked over her shoulder and saw the smiling face of Derek as he watched her disappear inside the store. As he watched her walk into the store he said, "now that is a woman I intend on meeting" as he made his way up the street getting closer and closer to the store.
