Crazy Wedding
Chapter 1 – Smoothly:
It was Wednesday the 21st of May 2014.
The sun shone through the curtains of Becker's and Jess's bedroom. A cool spring breeze came in through the half open window. Becker sighed contently and snuggled closer into his pillow. He could still smell Jess's coconut scented shampoo on it. Smiling, he reached for her but found only an empty space. Opening his eyes, he peered over at her side of the bed. She wasn't there.
Getting up, Becker went out into the living room. That is where he found Jess. She was bent over a baby blue book-binder, wearing a blue vest top and shorts with cherries on them, multi-coloured socks and a blue dressing gown. She tucked a piece of her brown hair behind her ear.
"Jess?" Becker said quietly, so not to shock her. She looked up and smiled brilliantly at him. But she had bags under her eyes.
"What are you doing up so early?" He asked, sitting down beside her.
"I couldn't sleep." Jess replied, before pecking him on the cheek.
"What you up too?" Becker asked softly while rubbing circles on her lower back.
"Doing a check list for the Wedding." Jess replied shortly.
It had been four months since Becker had proposed to Jess over the Christmas holidays, which they spent with his family and their co-workers; Connor and Abby Temple, Danny and Sarah Quinn, Matt Anderson and Emily Merchant, Nick and Jenny Cutter, and Stephen Hart.
That had been the weirdest Christmas, ever.
An anomaly had opened near his home and a Future Predator came from the other side. It had nearly killed them all, if Becker hadn't put his neck on the line and gone out and faced it. Despite it being a terribly chaotic Christmas, it had also been the best Christmas he ever had. He had re-ignited that old family bond, his family had learnt and accepted the fact that he chased dinosaurs for a living, he'd come to the conclusion that everyone who cared about him was his family and to top it all; he had worked up the nerve to propose to Jess.
So it had been four months since Christmas. Now the final days of preparation were coming to an end. The Wedding was in ten days, less than two weeks. The date; 31st of May 2014. Becker chuckled happily to himself at the whole idea of it all.
"What?" Jess asked curiously.
"Nothing. I just…can't believe we're really getting married in ten days time." Becker replied. He grinned happily and Jess responded with her signature brilliant smile.
"I know. But even though we're having a small wedding, there is still so much left to do." Jess said sadly. "Have you written your vows, yet?" She added, looking up at her fiancé. Becker winced at the words 'vows.' They had decided to write their own vows, but he was struggling starting, let alone finishing, his.
"I'm working on it." He answered truthfully, rubbing the back of his neck. Jess gave him an annoyed look and opened her mouth to say something, when her attention was drawn by Sid and Nancy, scuttling into the living room. The pair of Diictodon had come to live with them since Christmas, and neither Jess nor Becker had the heart to put them back into the menagerie.
"Hey guys! Want something to eat?" Jess laughed. She went into the kitchen and returned with a bag of food Abby had made up for the dinosaurs. Jess poured the food into two cat bowls, one blue and one pink. Jess laughed again as Sid and Nancy ran across the floor and started to savagely devour the food.
"Err…Jess?" Becker said tentatively.
"Yes, sweetheart?" Jess responded, putting her hands on her hips, standing up straight and looking at him.
"What are we gonna do with them?" He asked.
"I thought we agreed we wanted to keep them around?" Jess replied, narrowing her eyebrows in confusion.
"We did and I do. But…" Becker answered steadily. He gave her a nervous look. "What are we gonna do about them when your parents come to stay with us for the Wedding?"
Jess inwardly groaned at the reminder that her parents were coming all the way over from America for the wedding. They would be arriving tomorrow morning. And, to top it all, they weren't happy that she was marrying a man, they hadn't even met yet.
"I suppose Abby and Connor could take care of them?" She suggested, sad to have to hide her whole 'real' life from her parents.
Her parents still thought she worked as a waitress at a local coffee shop. –Their own assumption, of course. Like she'd ever work in a coffee shop. Well, technically, she did work in a coffee shop before being spotted by the ARC.
Now that she was getting married, her parents had to come to England, meaning it would be much harder to hide her life from her parents. Plus they were just bound to be more annoying than usual. They weren't exactly ecstatic about her engagement. But what did they want her to do; not marry him, fly all the way over there and introduce them, wait another three years and then get engaged all over again?
Jess sighed and walked over to Becker. She wrapped her arms around his waist and laid her head on his chest, frowning sadly. Becker wrapped his arms around her and pressed his lips against her forehead.
"Everything's gonna go smoothly. I promise." Becker whispered softly.
"When has anything is our lives gone smoothly? Do I have to remind you about what we bloody do for a living? Or our friends? Hell, just look at the dinosaurs on our floor!" Jess said sceptically. Becker laughed and stroked her hair.
"Shut up. Anyway, what's the worst that could happen?" Becker asked, smirking at her.
