---The Reception---

"Just so we're clear, I was specifically told I had no say in the reception." I whisper to Aaron as we get in the car to head to dad's house.

He laughs and looks at me. "Doesn't matter to me." He whispers leaning over and kissing me gently. I smile brightly as the kiss ends and rest my head on his shoulder.

"We could always skip." He tells me and I laugh.

"Skip our own wedding reception, I think that would be noticed." I tell him.

He sighs and wraps an arm around me. "Fine, but I still get to dance with you right?" He asks and I chuckle.

"Yes, Garcia said she wasn't taking out that." He hugs me tightly as we pull up and helps me out of the car.

I walk in and David Rossi my dad not by blood but by choice walks up. "You look stunning Abby." He tells me kissing my forehead.

I smile brightly at him and I see Sean walk up, Aaron's arm tightens around my waist and I look up at him.

"Hello you must be Abby, I'm Sean." He says holding out a hand.

"Hi yes I'm Abby it's nice to meet you." I say quietly.

"Now what's a girl like you---"

"Don't Sean." Aaron interrupts calmly Sean stares at him quizzically.

I look around and see Garcia, JJ and my brother talking and I excuse myself. "Hey guys." I say and Penelope almost tackles me.

"Garcia easy you'll make her fall over." JJ says laughing and I chuckle.

"Thanks Garcia the place looks nice although I'm surprised dad let you decorate it." I tell her.

"Well he seemed fine especially after I told him--" She gets interrupted by a screeching mic and everyone flinches.

I look over to where the mic is and I see Morgan, I roll my eyes and look to Spencer. "If he's crashing my wedding..." I threaten and he just laughs.

"Excuse me can I have your attention, before we eat Abby and Hotch's cake and get to the storytelling part of this evening, can I have everyone except the bride and her dad off the dancefloor? Thanks." He says and I feel tear come to my eyes.

I hug Garcia tightly. "Thanks Penelope." I tell her and she gives me a light shove over to Rossi who's waiting for me.

He takes my hand and wraps his other one around my waist. The song comes on and I feel tears fill my eyes as Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata comes on, it's so like Rossi that I end up chuckling and crying at the same time.

"Thank you Rossi, for stepping up, you didn't have to but I'm very, very glad you did." I tell him as the song ends.

"Alright time for the bride and groom to dance, get out here Hotch." Morgan's voice comes on again and I chuckle.

"I think he just wants our cake." Aaron says walking up and pulling me close. I smile up at him wickedly.

"Then dance slowly." I tell him and he chuckles before Hero by Mariah Carey comes on.

"Thank you Abby." He says.

"For what?" I ask staring up at him with a slight smile on my face.

"This all of it, wanting to be with me." He says and I shake my head.

"What ever gave you the idea that I wouldn't want to be next to you for the rest of your life?" I ask and both of his arms come around my waist, I move mine up behind his neck and he rests his forehead on mine.

"I love you Abby Hotchner." He says and I smile brightly.

"I love you too Aaron Hotchner." I whisper and he smiles as we slowly stop dancing as the song comes to an end.

"Alright time for cake!" Morgan says pulling me away from Aaron. I laugh and look back to see him smiling happily after me.
