** Darcy's P.O.V. **
As I stood in the small office at city hall, I looked to my side to see JJ standing there with a huge grin on her face, and by Hotch's side Jacob stood there reciprocating her smile. It was perfect, it wasn't much, but it was perfect.
"Ms Blake would you like to recite your vows?" the pastor asked softly
I nodded and cleared my throat as I gently took Aaron's hand
"Aaron, the moment that I met you my life became extraordinary, you taught me to be my best self, to look forward to tomorrow's adventures. And when I was vulnerable, you were strong. I love you Aaron Hotchner, and I want to live my life in the warmth of your smile and the strength of your embrace. I promise you I will love you, I will be your friend and your partner in crime and in life. Always." I spoke gently as I stared into his warm hazel eyes and everything finally felt right, like I could finally live the life I had always hoped for
"Mr Hotchner" the pastor nodded towards Hotch
"Darcy, the moment we met my life became extraordinary, you taught me more about myself than I knew there was to learn. You are the joy in my heart. You are the last person I want to see every night when I close my eyes. I love you Darcy Blake, and the mystery of you is the one I want to spend the rest of my life exploring. I promise to love you, to be your friend and your partner in crime and life. Till death do us part and for the time of our lives. Always" Hotch let out a gentle breath as he squeezed my hand softly
"By the power invested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife" the pastor smiled as he looked at us both "you may now kiss the bride" he finished
He gently placed his lips on mine as we sealed our forever

That night Jacob, JJ, Hotch and I went to a small restaurant not far from our apartment and decided to go to an intimate little bar just down the road. It was the perfect night with the people I cared most about.
As music played in the background Aaron stood up and took me by the hand
"May I have this dance Mrs Hotchner" he smiled proudly as he called me his wife
I followed him out onto the small wooden floor as I wrapped my arms around his neck and slowly danced to the soft melody of Celine Dion, My heart will go on, playing around us. We were in our own little world, our little piece of happiness.
We stayed late into the night and finally decided to go home. JJ and Jacob stayed in a hotel not far from the apartment and they grabbed a cab. Hotch and I decided to walk home.
"Thank you" Hotch mumbled as he smiled down at me
"For what?" I laughed at his randomness
"For being you, for loving me after all these years, for changing my life" He whispered sweetly
"Thank you for saving me" I whispered as I leaned my head on his shoulder
When we reached out apartment door Hotch opened it and stopped me before I could go any further
"If I'm anything, I'm a man of tradition" he smiled as he swept me up into his arms and carried me over the threshold
He placed me down gently and we both started laughing
"Now how about I show you the benefits of being Mrs Hotchner" Hotch grinned cheekily as he placed his hand in mine and led me to the bedroom
This was just the beginning
And I could not wait for the rest of our forever
