Chapter 1-Union
Olivia, Elliot, John and Fin sat around their desks and blankly stared into space. There was a newspaper on Olivia's desk that said:
Local Hero Loses BattleAlex walked in and hugged Olivia. She went over to John and sat on his lap. She hugged his neck and wept.
John made a fist and pounded it on his desk. "Why the hell are we moping around here? We all know that Don would have never wanted us to be like this no matter what. We should celebrate his life and then move on with ours. He would have wanted it that way."
There was silence for a moment.
"John's right," Olivia finally said with a smile. "Daddy would have wanted us to be happy with who and what we have in front of us and not fret about him being gone. We all know that he loved us and we loved him. He is gone but not forgotten."
John looked at Alex and smiled. "Let's get married," he said holding her. "Now! Let's get married today!"
Alex looked at him. "Are you sure? Now?"
"Yes! Now!" John said excitedly.
They all looked at them and smiled.
"Sounds like a plan," Elliot smiled at them.
"Well let's head to the courthouse then," Fin laughed.
"Casey and Brian should already be there," Olivia stated getting up and smiling at Alex.
AJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJAJ
They get to the courthouse and go to the chambers of Judge Elizabeth Donnelly.
"Come in!" Liz says as she looks up and sees everyone. "Now?"
"Are you busy?" Alex goes up to her and gives her a hug.
"No, please. This is the perfect time." Liz looked into Alex's eyes and smiled.
John goes over to Alex and takes her hand. Liz goes to her shelf and takes out her Bible. Elliot and Olivia walk up behind them and Casey and Brian stand beside them.
"We are gathered here today to witness the union of Counselor Alexandra Cabot and Detective John Munch. Since I know that there are no objections because you all came here together knowing this, I wont ask," Liz laughed. "Would either of you like to say something to each other before I proceed?"
"Alex, you and I have know each other for a long time now. We did get to know each other very well the first time around but when you came back I felt like I had known you forever. You have been truly a blessing in my live. I never thought that I could ever love someone so much that I knew that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with them. I have had a lot of failed relationships but they failed because I knew that there was someone out there that was my soul mate. You are my soul mate Alex. I love you and I always will," John smiled at her.
"John, you have been a good friend to me since day one. You never steered away from the truth and always knew what to say and when to say it. You have always been there for me when I needed you. You are my hero and I love you. I will never stop loving you. I agree with you when I say that we are soul mates. We are meant to be. Don made that happen. He introduced us for the first time and none of this would have ever been without him," Alex smiled at John and then looked over her shoulder at Olivia.
John nodded and then they both turned to Liz.
"Do you, John, take Alex to be your lawful wedded wife? To honor and cherish, in sickness and in health, as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," John said looking over at Alex and smiling.
"And do you Alex take John to be your lawful wedded husband? To honor and cherish, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"
"I do," Alex giggled and looked at John.
"By the power invested in me by the State of New York I pronounce you man and wife. Lay one on her John," Liz directed him laughing.
He wrapped his arms tightly around her and dipped her, kissing her passionately. The group cheered for them as he held her back up.
