The First Day of the Rest of Our Lives
Summary: Michael and Sara are getting married. They are both as nervous as can be. Will they be able to get through the wedding without falling apart?
Michael Scofield was waiting in one room of a local chapel in Chicago. He paced around waiting for the ceremony to being. He knew his heart was pounding so fast and couldn't do anything to stop it. His brother, Lincoln Burrows watched him as he paced around.
" Michael," Lincoln said," Sit down, will you. You're making me nervous."
" I'm sorry Linc," Michael said," I've never been this scared in my life. Today Sara and I get married. I'm happy, but I'm nervous."
" You got through the rehearsal okay," Lincoln said," You can do this. You love Sara, don't you?"
Michael gave his brother a strange look.
" Of course I do," Michael told him," With all my heart."
" Then sit down and relax," Lincoln said," Otherwise you'll fall apart."
Michael finally did sit down and tried to relax, but it didn't stop from his heart from pounding like a jackhammer.
In another part of the chapel, Sara Tancredi was in the bathroom and didn't want to come out. Veronica Donavon was waiting outside.
" Sara," Veronica said," Are you going to come out or do I have to come in?"
Sara opened the door.
" Why do I feel like I want to hide?" Sara asked.
" Because you're making the biggest decision of your life," Veronica told her," Michael adores you and he's going to love you for the rest of your life."
Sara tried to smile, but then she sighed.
" I know," Sara said," Michael tells me everyday how much he loves me. I don't doubt that. I love him too. I tried not to let my feelings show. Veronica, I couldn't help it. Michael was still an inmate when I feel for him. I wasn't supposed to fall in love with an inmate."
Veronica smiled.
" He told me he didn't plan on falling for you," Veronica said," But he did."
Sara took another deep breath.
" I wonder how Michael is," Sara said," Do you think he's as nervous as I am."
Veronica then laughed.
" I think he would be," Veronica said," Do you want me to find out?"
Sara shook her head.
" I'll wait," Sara said," I think I need to. I feel that I could throw up."
Veronica shook her head. Sara was grateful for Veronica's help and support. In the two years after Lincoln and Michael's release, Veronica had become one of Sara's best friends.
" In the hour you'll be married to Michael," Veronica said," How does that make you feel?"
Sara said nothing and got up and went back to the bathroom.
