This is pure angst. I plan to not continue it unless people need closure. I will continue my other fics (if anyone cares), but this just came into my mind. I will post chapter two if you guys want me to.

Title: Forever and Always

Rating: T; suicide

Disclaimer: I am not the owner of them, but George is mine. Dent is Adam Douglas's, but I just like the name.

Summary: Goren contemplates marriage

AU: NO (for once)

Other: I forgot what else goes here, but fill in the blanks.

He had thought that he'd have forever. That the one perfect moment would come along and he could tell her then. Tell her everything he had wanted to say for five years. He had never made a plan 'B'.

"Do you, Arthur Marvin Dent, wish to marry the woman before you?"

"I do."

He hadn't counted on Him. Now she was gone, and he didn't know what to do. No Alex, and with no Alex no family. The family he had dreamed about for so long that had suddenly become him and Alex-and their children. The family he wished for every birthday, and the one he had already bought a ring for so that it could begin.

"Do you, Alexandra Catryna Eames, wish to marry this man before you?" She smiled at their shortened vows.

"I do."

He had bought it on impulse. From then on it was her ring. A small gold band inlaid with three diamonds. One larger one in between two smaller ones. Small and beautiful-something with meaning-like his Alex. One diamond for each of them. He always loved the name Mariena.

"Then, with the power invested in me by the state of New York, I pronounce you man and wife."

One more move; a single move and he could be with her forever. His right hand curled protectively around her ring, and his left clinging to the cold metal of his piece. Forever with Alex and their family.

"You may kiss the bride."

Forever and always with them. He moved.
