A/N: A new story. It's a sequel to Like father, like daughter. Callen, Sara, Nick, Marisa and Zac are back. Hope you will enjoy this story.
I don't own NCISLA or the characters. I just own Sara, Nick, Marisa and Zac.
Nick was now 4 months old. Callen and Sara loved having him around. He was just the cutest little baby they had ever seen. Callen loved being a father to the little boy. He was already a father but he had never been one to a baby. He was still a bit new to everything but Sara told him he was a great father. Nick was definitely a daddy's boy, he loved being around Callen. As soon as Callen would walk into the room Nick wanted to be held by Callen.
Marisa also loved her little brother very much. She couldn't wait to have one of her own. She hoped she and Zac would be lucky enough to have a baby. Tomorrow was Zac and Marisa's wedding day. They were both very excited. Marisa was packing up some stuff. She was going to spend the night at her parents' house. Callen was coming over to their house to hang out with the guys. Zac and Marisa had bought a house together and they would go to live there after the wedding. Zac came into the bedroom and leaned against the doorpost as Marisa packed her bag. He couldn't believe that they were getting married tomorrow. He walked up to her and wrapped his arms around her from behind.
"Do you really have to go?"
"Yes it's bad luck for the bride and groom to sleep under the same room the night before the wedding. It's just for one night and then tomorrow you'll see me walking down the aisle."
"I can't wait," Zac replied as he turned Marisa in his arms and kissed her.
"Me neither. I'm so looking forward to be married to you."
"Me too. I can't wait to see you in your wedding dress. I'm sure you'll look absolutely beautiful."
"Oh yes it's so beautiful. I'm sure you'll look handsome in your suit as well."
Zac kissed Marisa again and backed her up to the bed.
"Zac honey, we don't have time for this now. Kensi will be here any second to pick me up."
"I can't wait to make love to you tomorrow, our first time as husband and wife."
"I know, me neither."
They lay there kissing for a while until there was a knock on the door. Zac went to open it while Marisa got her last few things packed. She gave Zac one more kiss before they left.
"Bye little guy," Callen spoke to Nick. "Daddy will miss you tonight. Be a good boy to mommy okay. Daddy will see you tomorrow."
Callen held Nick in his arms and gave him a kiss. He placed Nick in his crib and turned the music mobile on. He gave Sara a kiss before he left. A little later Kensi, Nell and Marisa arrived. Kensi had brought Marisa's dress with her.
"Are you excited for tomorrow?" Nell asked her as they were enjoying some drinks and chips.
"Yes I'm very excited. I can't wait. I love Zac more than anything and I can't wait to be married to him."
"I'm sure it will be a beautiful wedding tomorrow."
"I really hope so. I hope that everything goes according to plan."
"I'm sure it will."
They sat up talking for a while before going to bed. Marisa grabbed her phone when she lay in bed and sent a text to Zac. Zac was still lying awake in his bed when he heard his phone.
'I love you Zac. I can't wait for tomorrow.'
'I love you too Mari and I can't wait for tomorrow either. I can't wait to get married to you. I can't wait to see you walk down the aisle in your wedding dress. I love you so much. I'll see you tomorrow, sweet dreams.'
'Yes see you tomorrow. Sweet dreams.'
Marisa woke up at 10am the next morning. She stretched herself after she turned off the alarm. Today was her wedding day! She was getting married to Zac today. She got out of bed and looked at her dress before getting in the bubble bath. She relaxed in the bubble bath for a while before going out. She put her robe on and went to get some breakfast.
"Good morning," Marisa spoke to her mom who was in the kitchen already making breakfast.
"Good morning. Did you sleep okay?"
"Yes I did."
"How are you feeling this morning?"
"Very excited. I can't wait to walk down the aisle and be married to Zac."
"I'm so glad you found someone sweetie. You and Zac belong together."
"Yeah I'm very happy with Zac."
"Yeah, everyone can see that."
After breakfast Marisa got dressed and they headed over to the venue. When they arrived they went to the dressing room to get ready. 15 minutes after the girls arrived, the guys arrived too. Callen walked to the girls' dressing room and knocked on the door. Sara went to the door to see who was there.
"Hey honey," Sara spoke when she saw Callen and she stepped out of the room for a moment.
"Hey baby." Callen pulled her close and gave Sara a kiss. "How did it go last night with Nick?"
"It went very fine. He was fast asleep and he only woke up once."
"That's good."
"Wait here, I'll go get him." Sara walked back inside and closed the door. Nick was sitting on Marisa's lap. "Hey Nick, shall we go see daddy? Daddy is here."
Nick smiled as Sara picked him up. She walked back out of the room.
"Hey buddy," Callen spoke once he saw Nick. Nick immediately wanted to be held by Callen so Callen took him from Sara. "Hey buddy, were you a good boy to mommy last night? Daddy missed you."
After a while Callen handed Nick back to Sara so she could dress him but Nick wasn't having any of it. He wanted to stay with Callen. Sara went inside and grabbed Nick's clothes.
"It's okay buddy, daddy can dress you," Sara spoke to him.
Callen took Nick to the men's dressing room and got him dressed. He looked very handsome in his suit. When Callen had him dressed Deeks played with him so Callen and Zac could get dressed. A little later Zac's dad walked in.
"Hey dad," Zac greeted his father.
"Hey Zac, you ready for today?"
"Yes I am. I just wished mom would be here today."
"She's always here son. I'm sure she's very happy for you. You and Marisa seem so happy together."
"Yeah we are. I can't believe I'm marrying her today."
Zac gave his father a hug before Paul left. They finished getting dressed.
Sara and Kensi were helping Marisa into her wedding dress.
"You look very beautiful," Sara spoke once the dress was on.
"I can't believe I'm getting married today," Marisa replied with a smile.
They finished getting dressed before Callen walked in. Callen stood there and looked at his daughter. She looked so beautiful in her wedding dress. He couldn't believe that his little girl was getting married today.
"You look beautiful Marisa," Callen spoke to her.
"Thank you dad."
"You're ready?"
Marisa took a deep breath to calm herself. "Yes I am."
"Great."
Sara took Nick from Callen and walked out. Zac already stood up front with Deeks. Marisa and Zac where getting married at a beautiful beach venue in Malibu. They were having the wedding on the beach. Some decking lay on the beach with a white carpet over it. At the end of the aisle stood a beautiful gazebo with white and lime green curtains. The chairs next to the aisle were decorated with white and lime green flowers. Zac stood anxiously waiting for Marisa to come down the stairs. Once all the guests were on their seats the music started playing. First came Kensi, she was wearing a knee length strapless lime green colored dress with a white sash in the middle. The bottom of the dress was flowing. Kensi was also carrying a bouquet of white flowers. Kensi walked to the front of the aisle and stood up front with Zac and Deeks. The music changed and everyone stood up. Zac waited anxiously to see Marisa. There she stood at the top of the stairs. Marisa smiled at him as she walked down the stairs with Callen. Once down the stairs she hooked her arm around Callen's arms and they walked to the front. Zac smiled as Marisa walked up to him. She looked so beautiful in her wedding dress. She was wearing a full length wedding dress. The bottom was white and the top was lime green. The top of the skirt was covered with some lime green flowers as well. Marisa looked at Zac as he walked to the front. He looked so handsome in his suit. He was wearing a black suit with a white shirt and a lime green tie.
Callen never thought he would have kids let alone walk his daughter down the aisle. But he was happy for her. She seemed very happy with Zac. Callen walked her down the aisle and gave her a soft kiss on her cheek before he handed her over to Zac.
"Take good care of her," Callen spoke to Zac as he shook his hand.
"I will. You have my word."
Callen stepped aside and Marisa stepped up to Zac.
"You look very beautiful," Zac whispered in her ear and he gave her a soft kiss on her cheek.
"You look very handsome as well."
Marisa and Zac stepped up to the minister and he started the ceremony.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we're gathered here today to join this man and woman in holy matrimony. Before I continue I want to ask if someone has any objections why these two should not be married, speak now or forever hold your peace." Of course there were no objections. "Very well, who gives this woman to this man today?"
Callen stood up. "Her mother and I do."
The minister continued and read a poem. It ended with:
"A passion that penetrates
As deep as a knife
I'm happy I found you
The love of my life."
"All of us need and desire to love and to be loved. Zac and Marisa, your marriage today is the public and legal joining of your souls that have already been united as one in your hearts. Marriage is going to expand you as individuals, define you as a couple and deepen your love for one another. So, let your marriage be a time of waking up each morning and falling in love with each other all over again," the minister spoke to Zac and Marisa. "Zac and Marisa have decided to recite a poem to each other as well. Zac you may go first."
Zac turned to Marisa and grabbed her hand and started to read his poem. The poem ended with:
"A love that will last you see
Until the end of time
A love which joins us – you and me
And forever will our heart entwine."
Marisa got a bit teary eyed as Zac read that.
"Marisa, can you recite your poem please?"
Marisa looked Zac in his eyes and started her poem. It ended with:
"Kiss me my love
Again and again
My love is forever
A deep seated yen
Awash in your love
With you as my husband
So thankful for you
The best gift of my life."
Zac smiled at Marisa as she read this and squeezed her hand. The minister spoke again
"Zac and Marisa, your breathless tale is about to begin. If love is not all, then it's nothing. It's opposite – if love is all, then it is everything – is going to be the basis for every aspect of your relationship. All you have to do is simply love one another and that love shows through in everything you do for one another, how you treat each other, in good and bad times. Love isn't just a word, it's an action. Love isn't something you say, it's something you do. Love is genuine, honest, open, compassionate, kind, passionate and blind, love doesn't know space or time, nor look through jealous eyes. Love never dies. Marisa, you may recite your vows."
Marisa took a deep breath and she looked at Zac before speaking up. "Zac, I love you more than anything in this world and I'm so glad I found you, even when it wasn't at the best moment in our lives but we made each other stronger and pulled each other through it. I can't imagine ever spending a day without you in my life. I wanna wake up to you every day for the rest of my life. You are my friend, my lover and my soulmate. And I'm so very happy to become your wife. I promise to love you from this forward as my husband. All I am is yours."
Zac couldn't help but get a bit teary eyed as Marisa spoke.
"Zac, you may recite your vows."
"Mari, you're the most amazing woman I've ever met and I'm so happy that I can call myself your husband for this day forward. You're right, it wasn't at the best moment in our lives when we met but I'm very glad that we did. I don't know where I would be without you if I didn't have you. I love you so much and I promise to love you more and more each day that will come. You're not just my wife, you are my best friend."
A tear went down Marisa's cheek as Zac spoke. Zac used his thumb and wiped the tear away.
"Here before us Zac and Marisa have said their vows to each other. May I have the rings please to bind them to these vows?"
The minister held the pillow up and Kensi and Deeks put the rings on the pillow.
"Zac, please take the ring and repeat after me."
Zac took the ring and placed it on Marisa's finger as he spoke: "Through this ring I accept you as wife for now and till forever.
"Marisa, please take the ring and repeat after me."
Marisa took the ring and placed it on Zac's finger as she spoke: "Through this ring I accept you as my husband for now and till forever."
"By the powers vested in me by the state of California I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."
Smiling Zac pulled Marisa too him and kissed her as everyone started clapping.
"We're married," Marisa whispered to Zac.
"I know. I love you."
"I love you too."
They gave each other one more kiss before they walked down the aisle hand in hand. The guests threw rose petals over them as they walked down the aisle. They went up the stairs and inside. They went to a room where the minister would meet them in a minute.
"I can't believe we're really married," Zac stated.
"Yeah I know me neither. But I'm very happy."
"Me too. I love being your husband."
Marisa smiled. "And I love being your wife."
A little later the minister came in with Kensi and Deeks and they signed the wedding certificate. Before going inside to the guests they went outside and took some pictures on the beach. Zac and Marisa looked lovingly in each other's eyes as the pictures were taken. They took some with just the two of them but also with Kensi and Deeks and with Callen, Sara and Nick.
After they took the pictures they went back inside. Kensi stepped up to the microphone.
"Excuse me, may I have everyone's attention please." Everyone turned to Kensi. "I like to present to you Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins."
Everyone clapped as Zac and Marisa walked in. It was 4pm so they had some time to mingle before dinner. Zac and Marisa walked out to the deck and looked over the ocean. Today was just perfect so far.
At 5.30 they sat down to eat. Marisa and Zac sat in the middle with Deeks and Kensi next to them, Sara and Callen next to Kensi and Zac's father next to Deeks. Before they had dinner Deeks stood up and ticked his glass.
"Before we go eat I would like to say something to Zac and Marisa." Deeks turned to Zac and Marisa. "I've known Marty for some years now but I've never seen him happier than with Marisa. You two really belong together. I'm sure everyone here wishes that they have what you guys have. To Zac and Marisa!"
"To Zac and Marisa," everyone said.
Marisa stood up next.
"Zac and I would like to thank you all for coming. We really appreciate you being here with us to celebrate this special day with us. I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening. Enjoy your dinner."
The dinner was very lovely. After dinner everyone went back to the main hall. At 8pm the party started. At 9pm the DJ asked Zac and Marisa on the dancefloor for their first dance. Zac and Marisa danced their first dance to Taylor Swift's love story. It was so beautiful to see them dance. To them it felt like they were the only people in the room as they danced. Once the song had ended Callen and Sara joined them. They danced for a while before the cake was brought in. It was a 3 layered strawberry cake with flowers as decorations and a bride and groom on top. Zac and Marisa cut the first piece and fed it to each other. The cake was really delicious. Once everyone had finished their cake it was time for the father/daughter dance. Marisa took Callen to the dancefloor and they danced together.
"I can't believe my daughter is married. But I'm very happy for you and Zac. You two belong together."
"Thank you dad, I'm really happy."
"Yes I can see that."
Sara walked over to Zac and danced with him.
The party was so amazing. It was past 3am when Zac and Marisa went up to their room. There was a hotel next door where all the guests were staying. Zac and Marisa stayed in the wedding suit. All kissing they walked up to the door. Zac opened the door and picked Marisa up bridal style and carried her inside. Marisa looked around the room and was surprised to what she saw.
