Kurt Hummel had never planned a wedding so quickly. He'd designed and had Rachel's dress made in a matter of a week, arranged the flowers in two days, got the venue, and got a caterer all in half a month.

The wedding was set to be a week after the Tony Awards—one day away. Rachel was bustling with excitement. After the nominations had gone out, she found out that she was nominated for Best Actress Featured in a Musical. She'd won the most desired award, thanking everybody she could think of, Jesse at the top of the list.

Kurt had gone with her to fittings for the wedding dress. Expertly designed so that her growing baby bump wasn't visible, it was a floor-length dress. The wedding dress was white with a sweetheart neckline held up by spaghetti straps, empire waist, and chiffon that billowed behind her when she walked. The veil was long, and trimmed with lace. The waistline of her dress was encrusted with pearls and rhinestones. Rachel turned around on the pedestal, and smiled as she showed her dress to Kurt.

"Honey, you don't even look pregnant." Kurt smiled at her.

"I love it. Thank you, Kurt."

Kurt's phone rang.

"Hold on, let me just get this." He said to her. She shrugged and turned around to admire herself once more.

"Hey, Kurt." Jesse said.

"Hey, I'm with Rachel right now. So, if this can wait, my top priority is your future bride."

"Please, that's my top priority, too. I need help."

"Ooh, with what?"

"I'm at Tiffany's right now."

"Say no more, I'll be there in 10."

Kurt hung up the phone and walked back over toward Rachel.

"I have to go to work. Duty called."

"But what about lunch?" Rachel pouted.

"I really have to go, but you're sleeping over tonight, remember? We can have all kinds of fun."

"Fine," she said. "I love you."

"Love you, too!" He called back as he ran out of Saks and down Fifth Avenue.

Jesse was waiting for him in front of Tiffany's.

"Thank god you're here."

"Do you have any picked out?"

"I have three. I couldn't decide."

"Lets keep in mind, she likes emerald cut the best."

"That's good, I've one picked out. All three are above 2 carats."

They walked over to the woman with the three rings.

"Definitely the emerald cut. It'll look best on her hand, and it'll look best with a diamond-studded wedding band, which she's wanted since she was supposed to marry Finn, but had to sacrifice it for money's sake. She'll want something dramatic. This is perfect for her. One thing she kept saying, with the subconscious connotation that the ring didn't feel right on her finger, was that the ring was heavy. The ring that Finn got her was tiny. The band was huge, and the diamond small. It was really disproportionate, actually. You know what, I'm going to stop rambling, and go downstairs and look at the cufflinks. You pay for it."

"Do you know what size she is?"

"A 6!" He called as he walked toward the elevator.

They walked through Central Park, making their way back to the west side.

"Why didn't you get the ring earlier?"

"Because everything was so hectic. I needed to find a job here, I needed to move everything she wanted to her apartment, I needed to sell everything she didn't, I needed to actually move out here, I needed to do a lot. I just didn't have the time. I didn't want her to know about me picking up the ring. I wanted it to be a surprise. I'm giving it to her tonight."

"What're you gonna do?"

"I don't know. What do you think? I mean," he thought. "The wedding is tomorrow."

"This whole situation seems really cliché. I say you get a bottle of apple-cider, and put the ring in it."

"But it's juice, won't it get really sticky?"

"New plan. Why don't you walk her through central park, get down on one knee, and propose all over again, but this time make it more romantic than in the middle of your kitchen."

"I like that."

"So how's life with Rachel?"

Jesse took a breath.

"I'm going to be very honest right now. I've never been happier. I love her more than anything and I know she's really pissed about being pregnant, but I can't help but be really happy. She's going to have to leave the show soon, and that makes me really sad, but I'm really excited for this baby to come."

"I'm excited too." Kurt said. "I will be godfather, of course."

"No doubt."

"She's happy, Jesse; happier than I've seen her in a while."

"That's good to hear." Jesse sighed. "That's really good to hear. Thank you, it's what I needed."

"She looks beautiful. She's radiant and glowing and the wedding will be beautiful."

"Do you think she loves me?"

"She might not be ready to fully admit it yet, but I think she's never stopped."

Kurt left Jesse in front of Rachel's apartment—or rather, his and Rachel's apartment. Jesse ran up the stairs, opening the door with haste, and walking into the apartment. Immediately, Rachel tackled him.

She attacked him with kisses, and he barely had time to close the door before Rachel started taking off his clothing. She pushed him on her bed. He lay flat while she made work with his belt buckle, freeing him from the uncomfortable tent forming in his pants. He threw off his t-shirt, and he was quickly naked. Rachel pulled off her black lace dress, revealing her lack of undergarments. Jesse's eyes widened and he licked his lips, staring her up and down. There was a growing bump—just visible on her abdomen.

"You are so beautiful."

He flipped her on her back, thrusting into her. She cried out in pleasure, panting his name over and over again. They established a steady rhythm, both of them on the verge of climaxing. Jesse cried out her name as he spilled inside of her.

Both in the aftershock of their orgasms, lay down on the bed, panting.

"I have to get to Kurt's house soon. You're not supposed to see me on the day of our wedding, so I have to sleep over at his house."

Jesse leaned in, kissing her on the lips, completely distracting her from everything going on. All she could think about was letting his tongue enter her mouth. He reached into his jeans pocket, and pulled out the signature green box, managing not to break the contact of their lips. She didn't notice a thing until she felt the cardboard box touch her chest. She pulled away from Jesse's lips, and looked down. Her chocolate eyes widened and looked back and forth between the box and her fiancé.

She eagerly pulled the ribbon off, opening the initial box, then the velvet one revealing the most beautiful diamond ring she'd ever seen. She sat up in the bed and cried. Jesse too sat up, and drew her into his arms.

"Shh. What's the matter?"

"This is so real." She cried. "We're getting married tomorrow. I thought we'd never make it. I always thought that it would end up being Finn because that's all I had known. I always thought that I'd marry Finn." At the name of her ex both of them shuddered. "But it's not. It's us. We're having a baby together, Jesse."

Jesse places the ring on her finger, and Kurt was right, no other one would have looked nearly as good. He kissed her temple, and rubbed her back.

They fell back on the bed together, and Rachel fell asleep. Jesse set an alarm for 7:00 pm, when Rachel would go to Kurt's house.

After two and a half hours, the couple woke up.

"I have to go to Kurt's now." Said Rachel as Jesse was trying to con her into taking one last shower with him.

"Jesse, the sooner I leave now, the faster tomorrow will come."

"That makes no sense." He said, kissing her neck.

"Jess…I have to go."

She left the apartment, fully knowing that if she took that shower with him, she'd never be able to leave. She walked the 10-minute walk to Kurt and Blaine's. She'd packed her suitcase for the honeymoon, as they were headed immediately to the airport from the ceremony. Kurt opened the door and Rachel ran into the room into Blaine's arms. She'd not seen him for a week, when he was away on business.

"Hey, Rach. How excited are you?"

"You have no idea, Blaine."

"Are you hungry?" Kurt called from the kitchen? "I made macaroni n' cheese a few minutes ago."

"Yes!" She responded.

The three of them snuggled tightly on the couch each eating a bowl of steaming pasta.

"So I've missed a week and I'm totally out of the wedding plans. Enlighten me."

"Well," Rachel began. "We're eating salad, soup, salmon, fancy pasta for us vegans, and ice cream."

"The wedding cake," continued Kurt, "is coconut with a vegan butter cream frosting. And take my word for it, it is actually delicious. You know, considering that it's vegan."

"The flower's are lilies, and will be incredibly tasteful."

"The wedding will be at this beautiful house overlooking the Hudson."

"What does the place look like?" Blaine interjected.

"It's sort of like a castle. Everything is stone, and there are big windows overlooking the water with white curtains that blow in the wind. There's a large garden where the wedding will take place. It'll be perfect." He confirmed.

"I haven't even seen the place, neither has Jesse." Rachel shrugged. "Oh, and by the way, what were you doing when you left me alone at Saks?"

"I told you, I was working."

"Yeah, right!" She held up her left hand, showing him the glittering new diamond.

"I told him the emerald cut looked the best."

"Ha! I knew it. You were with Jesse picking out my ring."

"Yeah, so what? You're getting married tomorrow! You finally got the diamond ring."

"Ah! I know. Kurt, did you pick up the wedding bands?"

"Yeah. I gave them to Jesse when I saw him today. He'll bring them tomorrow."

"I'm so happy for you guys." Blaine said. "Now, don't get me wrong, I like Finn, but I like Jesse better that him. No offence Kurt."

"None taken. I get it, he can be a bit thick sometimes."

"I meant I like Jesse better with Rachel. Jesse seems to understand her more. It's like you're made for each other, and you needed something as dramatic as you are to get you two together.

At 11:00, all three of them got into the king sized bed, Rachel in the middle of Kurt and Blaine.

"You're getting married tomorrow!" Kurt said, as they all fell into an excited sleep.

When they awoke the next morning, it was well past 9:00 AM.

"Shit!" Rachel cried, getting jumping out of the bed and into the shower.

"What?" Called Kurt from the bed, still half asleep, while Blaine shifted his position, but remained fast asleep.

"We have to be there in an hour and a half."

Kurt jumped out of bed, finally waking up his boyfriend. They all quickly showered in turn, while Rachel fixed them something small to eat.

By 9:45, they were on the road. They made it to their destination by 10:40, 10 minutes late.

Rachel rushed into the room where she was to get ready. She placed her suitcase in the corner, and changed into the white robe.

Kurt and Blaine were situated in the corner, drinking champagne while Rachel had to settle on apple cider. At 11, Sophie and the rest of the bridal party trickled in. Their purple cocktail dresses were hung up in the corner, and they too undressed and got in their robes while the ladies fussed with their make-up.

Rachel looked like a princess; her make-up was natural, and accentuated her natural beauty. Her hair was in a classic bridal up-do. It was parted to the side, and intricately twisted in the back.

Before they put her veil on, Kurt spoke up.

"Rachel, I have something for you."

He pulled out a thin headband, encrusted with rhinestones.

"They're crystals. It was my mother's. She wore it when she got married, and I want you to do the same."

"Kurt! It's beautiful."

He placed it on her head, and they added the veil. Everybody "ooh"ed and "ah"ed.

Rachel slipped on the dress and into her white ballet flats. When she looked into the mirror, she almost cried. She was sure she was ready to do this. For the first time, she was sure.

All the girls got into their dresses and clinked their champagne glasses. Each of them was wearing a strapless purple dress that reached the middle of their thighs. It was tight and had a sweetheart neckline. Their shoes were the same shade as the dress, with lace flowers on the peep-toe. They all stood remarkably taller than Rachel, but she didn't care. She was just happy to be there.

"Rachel!" Kurt said as he re-entered the room. He and Blaine were wearing black suits with ties that matched the bridesmaid's dresses.

"You guys look great!"

"All of New Directions is here."

"They all came?"

"Including Finn." The smile ran away from Rachel's face.

"That was so long ago, Kurt. He can't honestly still have feelings for me. Mine for him are certainly diminished."

"I don't know…he seems really uncomfortable."

"Maybe it's because I'm pregnant."

"I don't think he knows about that."

"Then it's because I'm marrying the only guy that he's ever had to compete with. It's just the fact that I'm marrying Jesse. He has to get over it, or he'll have to leave. I didn't ask him to ruin my special day."

Kurt shrugged as he handed Rachel the bouquet of lilies. All of the girls got in order and the groomsmen met them outside of the building. The wind was blowing lightly and the sky was clear.

The beginning of Pachelbel Canon filled the garden. Everybody stood up as Rachel floated down the isle. Leroy and Hiram burst into tears as Rachel reached Jesse.

He brushed a tear away from his own eye before taking Rachel by the hand and leading her to the justice. Jesse lifted her veil and looked into her tear-filled eyes. Together, they turned their backs to their friends and family, facing the justice.

He began the ceremony, and soon the entire wedding party began to cry. It was a beautiful moment. Jesse slid the desired diamond studded wedding band onto her finger and she slid the simple gold one onto his. They were soon announced husband and wife, and Jesse brought her into his arms for a breathtaking kiss.

Everybody clapped and cried freely. The newlywed couple turned to the audience and walked back down the isle as husband and wife. Everybody dispersed and went into the other side of the garden, where the reception was to take place.

Rachel was eager to see who the band would be and as she looked onto the stage. She laughed when she saw Sam and Quinn on stage guitar in hand. Rachel sat down with Jesse at the table designated for two. The two on stage started to sing Lucky, their go-to song. Sooner or later all of the New Directions sang a song, and it was time for Jesse and Rachel's first dance.

Neither of them knew what song Kurt had chosen to play for them. Both of them smiled to themselves as the first few notes of "Hello" came on.

None of the New Directions had gone up to sing, so Jesse began singing it himself. The two sang the duet while everybody marveled at them.

Finn was sulking in a corner when a skinny brunette walked up to him.

"Aren't you happy for them?" She asked him.

"No. I can't believe they're together. I always thought it would be me dancing with her."

"Yeah. I'm not happy either. I can't get over Jesse. He's the only one I'll ever love."

"Finn Hudson." He said placing his hand out for her to shake.

"Elizabeth Hansen."

They both took a gulp of whatever they were drinking.

"I hate her." She said.

"I hate him. We're in the same club."

"So that means you'll want to help me sabotage them?"

Finn looked at the glint in Elizabeth's eyes and smiled.
