Chapter 20: A Very Merry Gay Wedding

7 month time skip (December)...

Emily's Pov:

My alarm went off at 5:45 in the morning. I was never a morning person, but what I'm doing this for is worth it, the person I'm doing this for is worth it. I had scheduled my PT for 6:30 in the morning, but Jennifer didn't know that. I'm still using a crutch to walk around, but this last session would change that.

Ever since I had started going to PT, I was putting in extra sessions. I would tell her that Derek was helping me with a little extra stuff. If I wasn't putting in the extra sessions I would still be using crutches full time. I was not about to be at my wedding and not be able to dance with Jennifer. It was killing me that I kept lying about this but it would be worth it.

Derek picked me up at 6 to take me to my last PT session. I realized that without Jen I would probably not even start PT, but she pushes me, makes me a better person and I could not wait to surprise her in two weeks.

JJ's Pov:

I woke up and Emily was gone, probably with Derek again. So I went to take the twins and get them ready for the day. Hotch had given us more time off to plan the wedding that was taking place in two weeks.

I am a little disappointed that Emily is going to be on crutches during the wedding, but at least we will finally be married. We didn't know what to do with the time Hotch had given us, because we had almost all of the planning done.

We had decided on a winter wedding; we wanted it sometime between Halloween and the twins birthday, so we decided on December 22, it was also before Christmas so we had to make sure our families were free. Not just our blood related ones, but our BAU family, the people who have been there for both of us through everything and the family that has supported us from the very beginning.

I had my dress and Emily had her tux, it was one of the things she talked about consistently. She left her tux with Derek and Spencer, while I left my dress with Garcia. Which now that I think about it, was not a good idea because she would protect it with her life. I had gotten a long sleeve, open-back lace dress that was kinda flowy at the bottom. All Emily had told me was that her suit was white, you know... bride to be and all.

Emily and I didn't want to impose on Rossi's property for the wedding, so we went with a seperate venue for the wedding and a different location for the reception. Our ceremony venue was this beautiful outdoor scenery with arches, and it kind of looked like an aviary. For the reception we would move indoors, to a bat-mitzvah, Emily's choice of course, but everything was ready to go and I can't wait to marry her.

And of course we decided to have Penelope in charge of our wedding playlist for the reception, we might end up regretting it, considering there are going to be kids there... but we wouldn't have it any other way. We also told her to go crazy, so that's on us.

Time skip (two weeks because I am impatient and can't wait for the wedding):

Emily's Pov:

I have never been more nervous for anything... that's not true, the only other times I have been this nervous were when Jennifer got shot, when the twins were born, and when I thought I wasn't coming home. But I realized home wasn't a place, it wasn't the place I lived with JJ... it was JJ. she was my home, she made me complete.

I was officially cleared from PT 2 weeks ago, but I'm still "injured" because I want to surprise Jennifer with our first dance together. The times I was "supposed" to be in physical therapy these past 2 weeks, I was actually with Derek, learning the dance. As far as Jen knew she was doing the dance with Spencer.
