As it is spring break, It took me some time to write this one. Thanks for waiting. This chapter is just the vows that the couple exchange. Also, Characters belong to TNT, Janet Tamaro and Tess Gerritsen. (Sorry Tess, for last name mis-spell?)
Jane coughed nervously. She was nervous because nothing had ever meant anything to her compared to this. She took the microphone and spoke:
As a child I all I wanted was to graduate from the academy, become a detective, and have six pack abs. You know, many of these things I have done, I have dedicated pretty much all of my life to the BPD, and I have built my life around my job. I did in fact graduate from the academy, and I even became a detective. I also might… possibly… have a six-pack as well. Completing all of my childhood life goals, which is what I used to think, was all I need. That was, until the day I met Maura Isles. She showed me how to see the world from a whole new perspective. I remember what I was thinking the first time we ever met. I said to myself "She is going to be a different one. Now, where's the new ME" Now, I don't know what I really meant by that but, I know for sure I was wrong, I mean everyone know exactly which muscles are used in smiling, or everything about her turtle-sorry tortoise, right? Nah, I am just kidding Maur. But all I am trying to get across is that you are different. Everything about you since the day I got to know you showed me that you are different. Since I met you life has begun to matter. I have every reason to come home every night with the person that I love, thinking that life is worth it, and none of the rest matters. Maur, I could promise you the Milky Way Galaxy, but that would still not be enough compares to what you deserve. How about my heart instead? It's all yours.
Jane paused to hold back tears.
Yeah… my vows. I'm almost done guys. Maura Isles, I promise that every single day I have left in my life I will always put you first.
She finally broke down.
Every last breath I have, will be for you. I will always protect you no matter what. I will make sure to tell you that I love you every second I can. Everything that I do, I will do for you. You mean everything. Everything. Not matter what, I will put you first. I Jane Rizzoli, take you Maura Isles to be my wife to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until… never do us part.
The whole room could feel the love between the couple, and they all could see that two real soul mates were standing before them. Angela Rizzoli was overwhelmed by it all and was bawling, while the rest of the room was speechless at the fact that the great Jane Rizzoli could be so affectionate. Maura could not have a bigger smile, and it was her turn to give her vows:
You would expect Jane to be the awkward one at this, when in truth it is me. I wwas never good with people, ever. I would always have awkward and bad interactions with other people. When I met Jane, I noticed a guard that was built up. That terrified me, because I knew that we would be working together. I knew from the moment she opened her mouth to defend me she had a personality trait that is very loving in her. I was taken a back by Jane Rizzoli, but convinced me that sometimes the good guys still win. Everything I had in mind for my future in terms of personally, was changed when I fell in love with her. I fell in love with every single part of her. The sarcasm, hyperbolizing, and aggressiveness, were to name a few that took some time to get used to. I then got to know Jane further, and got appreciate the fact that she is the most compassionate, loving person I can ever think of.
The tears began to flow, with nothing to hold them back.
Jane, you deserve everything, because that is what you gave me. It is only fair. All I can promise you is that you have my love. Forever, and always, every last breath I have here on earth is to be done with you in mind no matter what.
I Maura Isles, take you Jane Rizzoli to be my wife to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward, until death do us part.
It was a blur for the both of them, but they got through. The exchanging of rings, and the kiss happened. It was a whirlwind for everyone in the room. I was like a wave of emotion was dropped into the Red Sox stadium. Every guest could literally feel the love between the couple. They all just knew that the pair would never be split. The blurry time continued until it was time for the party, and the first dance.
Jane took Maura's hand, "May I have this dance?" and right when Maura opened her mouth to reply, the song "Marry Me" came on. She nodded and the newly weds took the floor.
