A seed was planted by a fellow POstable and friend but the story came to me after reading a story by singersongwriter which had a line in it that caused the seed to grow. This also came to me in the middle of the night. Enjoy. Please review.

I don't own the characters just love to tell about their lives in my own words. There is a quote in the story found on the internet author unknow.

All's Well That Ends Well

Oliver walked into the church he could hear the organ playing a wedding march he walked closer to the door and started to pull it open he peaked inside and the church was lighted by candles and beautiful flowers lined the aisle the guest where seated and the bride and groom were at the front of church. The groom was Steve. He couldn't tell who the bride was her vail was so thick that from the back of the church he couldn't see her face but it looked like Shane. No, it couldn't be Shane she was marring him she loved him she didn't love Steve. Then Steve lifted the vail and leaned in to kiss the bride when Oliver seen that it was Shane. He started screaming and running down the aisle "No, No, No, No, No!" he was too late and then in a flash they were gone and the church was empty and he was standing all alone. He dropped to his knees tears streaming down his face as he cries out "No! Shane come back Shane!"

Oliver awoke in a panic his breathing was heavy and heart was racing. He felt for her in the dark but she wasn't there of course she wasn't there and they weren't married yet. He tried to calm himself but its wasn't working he said a quick pray.

"Dear Lord calm my spirit and bring me peace. Amen."

He had a flash of a memory oh no no no no Lord please let that be a dream just a dream. His heart started racing again more of the memory came rushing back. No, she is not marrying him. She is marrying me in a few days. I know it was dream please Lord tell me it was a dream. He reaches for the phone and the moment he went to touch the receiver the phone rang he jumped out of bed and grabbed the phone and started to speak. "Hel..." but he was cut off, by her voice crying she said, "Oliver I need you!"

"I'm on my way." He said as answered in a panic he slipped on his shoes grabbed his wallet, keys and coat and was out the door. He was so panicked that he didn't even change out of his night clothes.

Ten minutes later Oliver was outside Shane's door fumbling with his keys when the door pulled open and there she was in her nightgown with Kleenexes in her hand and tears streaming down her face. "Oliver" she cried weeping she fell into his arms he had managed to get inside the door and catch her before she hit the floor. He picked her up turned around and closed the door. He carried her over to the couch and sat down with her on his lap cuddled her and saying "Sh Sh Sh its ok what's a matter sweetheart I've got you, you're ok."

Through sobs Shane stuttered "I see seen you in ch ch church you you were married to to D D Dale." More tears and sobbing. Oliver let out a breath to calm himself. They had both had the same nightmare. He held her tightly and kissed her forehead.

"Shane honey I am not married to or am I marrying Dale. I am marrying you in a few days it was just a nightmare." Oliver said trying to reassure her and calm her down.

"It was so real you felt so far away from me. I was so scared that I had lost you." She cried

"Shane, I am right here I love you and I am not going anywhere." He spoke softly.

Finally, she was starting to calm down when he started to laugh. She looked at him and started to get angry.

"Oliver O'Toole what are you laughing at this is not funny." She said

"I'm sorry Shane your right it's not funny but when I tell you what happened right before you called me you will understand." He said

She started to get up for his lap when he wrapped his arms around her even tighter.

"Now Shane where are you going." He smiled and held on tight. He kissed her neck and whispered, "Meeting you was fate, becoming your friend was a choice, but falling in love with you was beyond my control." He hugged her tightly and felt her relax into him. "Now let me tell you what my nightmare was about." He told her about his dream and how he was about to call her when his phone rang and how she called him first. Then how she was on the other end of the line telling him she needed him. Once he finished she was laughing with him too.

"Oh, Oliver I would never marry Steve." She said as she kissed him on the cheek

"And I would never marry Dale." He said as he kissed her on the forehead.

They sat there for a long time just holding each other. Shane slid off Oliver's lap and onto the couch and curled up next to him he pulled a quilt around them and snuggled up with her. At that moment, he didn't care what others would say he was not leaving her alone. He would sit with her and hold her until she fell back asleep then he would go home and try to get some rest. It wouldn't be much longer and he wouldn't have to leave her at all he so longed for the day when he could cuddle up with her in their bed and hold her close when she had bad dreams and coo her to sleep. He smiled and listen to her breathing as she went back to sleep. He kissed the top of her head and just smelled her. Oh how he loved this women.
