April tried to get some sleep, but the car seat wasn't exactly the comfiest place to take a nap. Plus, even if she had the possibility to sleep in a proper bed she wouldn't have been able to.

Too many emotions were running inside her head; her heart was so swollen with love she almost couldn't contain it. She looked at Jackson for the billionth time: he was so gorgeous and she never loved anyone like she loved him. Of course she was still felling guilty for Matt and Stephanie, but she did the right thing… she ran away with the love of her life.

"so…." She began still looking at him, he was slightly smiling "lake Tahoe… interesting…"

His smile grew wider "it is, isn't it? You'd like to get into that now?" he couldn't remember the last time he had smiled so much.

"I'd love to"

He looked briefly at her, and her heart skipped a bit.

"Do you remember the…pregnancy scare?"

April nodded.

"well, let's just say I did my research. I knew you wanted a field with butterfly. Also Nevada is the closest state where you can get married fast, without waiting for anything or anyone. I thought that it would have been perfect to get married before your belly started to show, and lake Tahoe is renowned for its beautiful fields that in may fill up with butterflies and wild flowers."

April felt a silent tear falling down her cheek, Jackson wiped it away with his thumb. He really had always loved her. Even back then, even with all of her craziness.

"hey, it's alright. We're together now. We will be forever"

"I love you Jackson!"

"I love you too. Now try to get some sleep, I'll wake you up when we get there"

April closed her eyes and fell asleep like a baby.

Jackson didn't want to wake her up: she looked so peaceful with that little smile on her lips. He stopped the car near a beautiful resort he found online, he called them while April was sleeping, and everything was set and ready for their wedding. He still couldn't believe it. He was so happy that he took Mark's advice. Yes, it took him long enough but he did. And now he was the happiest man on earth.

"April, babe"

"mmh"

"we're here, there's a room ready and a priest waiting for us."

April opened her eyes and he felt overwhelmed with happiness. She was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen, and with that white dress, she took his breath away.

"ok, I'll just need some minutes to freshen up"

"take all the time you need"

They were greeted by two very nice ladies who didn't seem bothered by the fact that April was wearing a wedding gown, they were probably used to it. They took April with them, to help her out before the ceremony. Jackson went inside their lodge. It was cozy but very luxurious. The Jacuzzi had a beautiful view over the blooming fields and the lake. It was almost sunset and a nice shade of pink was taking over the sky. He took off his tie and opened his shirt a little: he was about to get married to the love of his life.

Jackson went outside and was greeted by the priest.

"you're coming a long way, young man"

"yep, I definitely am" they were silent for a little while, the sound of nature was the only music he needed, he always loved the blackbirds way of singing, it reminded him of his childhood.

And all of a sudden April appeared, followed by the two elderly ladies. She looked even more beautiful now if that was possible. She had let down her hair and was now wearing a small crown made of wildflowers. Jackson had to remember himself to breath.

"you look…stunning" he gently removed the hair falling in front of her eyes. April blushed while looking at him.

"this is perfect Jackson. Everything is exactly as I always wanted. You are what I always wanted."

They hold their hands while the priest began to speak, but they couldn't hear him because they were lost in each other, too happy to be finally together, right where they belonged.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife."

Jackson couldn't wait anymore and kissed her like she was his oxygen, and she kissed back while the sun was disappearing behind the lake.

April looked at their rings made of grass stems and smiled so hard her face was hurting. This was her dream wedding. She wouldn't have wanted it any other way. The two ladies insisted to take a picture of them.

"you know" the one with white hair told them " I've never seen a couple more beautiful than you're"

"or happier" added the other one while smiling.

"and we have seen a lot of people getting married here!"

The two doctors smiled and thanked them, they definitely felt the happiest and luckiest people on earth.

Jackson picked April up before entering their room. She giggled at the old-fashioned gesture and kissed him softly. She was so happy she couldn't stop smiling. The place was absolutely stunning and they even left them a bottle of champagne in a big basket full of ice just near the Jacuzzi.

"Jackson you must have spent a fortune! This place is…it's…I've never seen anything like this!"

"only the best for my beautiful wife"

"mmh April Avery…it sounds good. I think I might change it!"

Jackson looked at her smiling bright " you should, it sounds just perfect"

They kissed hard, they had lost so much time and every kiss was like liquid fire between them. Jackson took off his jacket and helped April out of her dress. She was wearing a white lacy bustier with a tongue and a pair of super sexy stockings. He tried to swallow or breath but he found himself unable to do anything but kiss her again.

He felt like he needed her more than he needed oxygen. He suddenly felt all of his animal instincts take over. He couldn't stand the fact that she had spent the last several months with another man. He looked at her, his eyes darkening with desire

"April…."

She felt helpless: she wanted him inside of her, she wanted to ride those ride like she never did before. Jackson Avery was now her husband and she needed him. She felt weak in the knees and in that moment Jackson held her up and April wrapped her legs around him. He was inside of her now and she felt finally complete. God she had missed him so much.

They were awaken in the middle of the night by the strong noise made by the crickets outside their window. It was a beautiful night: a full moon was shining down over the lake, lighting up the breathtaking landscape.

April opened her eyes: her real life was now better than any dream she ever had. She just made love to her beautiful husband and never felt so good in her entire life. She knew they left a mess behind them, but she kept pushing those thoughts away. They would have dealt with everything later on.

"Thank you" she whispered

"for what? I should be the one to thank you. I've never felt this good before. I used to think that the soul mate stuff was just good for fairy tales and little girls, but you know what? I was so wrong"

He kissed her while caressing her back.

"you're my one and only Jackson"

"yeah, you too Mrs. Avery"

"no I mean it. Like literally" he could see she was blushing even in the pale moonlight.

"you mean…"

"I mean in some kind of way I ended up saving myself for the man I married. You are the only one I ever…"

He kissed her until they were both breathless.

"do you want to hear a funny story?" April asked him while positioning herself on top of him. "I once told a patient that if I were married I would have done it all day long." Her eyes sparkled with a mischievous look and he couldn't contain himself any longer.

"wish granted"
