Author's Note: I'm sorry it's taken me so long to update, but I'm very sad to say that the day after I posted Chapter 3 we, as a family, got the news that my Uncle in Australia had been murdered. I didn't really know him that well as he was my Dad's Sister's Husband. But the last few days have been very rough for our family and I completely forgot about this.

R.I.P Uncle David, this one is for you! You always did love a good laugh xxx

Crazy Wedding

Chapter 4 – James Lester's Wedding Present:

It was evening by the time Jess's parents woke up. Becker and Jess were laughing in the kitchen as they made them all Pasta Bake. Mr Parker still resented the boy. How dare ask his little girl to marry him without her father's consent! When he'd said this to Elizabeth (Mrs Parker), she'd whacked him around the head and told him it was a modern day and age. But she seemed to quite like that little sod. That didn't stop him from glaring at Becker as they dished up.

"So Becker, what do you do for a living?" Mrs Parker asked, breaking the uncomfortable silence that had fallen. Mr Parker simply scoffed and continued to eat his dinner. Nothing that boy does could possibly impress him.

"I…I work in…MI5." Becker said, glancing at Jess. Now this sparked Mr Parker's attention.

"MI5 you say?" Mr Parker said in his booming voice.

"Yes. I'm Ex-Military actually." Becker explained, now that defiantly sparked Mr Parker's attention.

"What rank?" Mr Parker asked.

"I'm a Captain." Becker replied.

"Hmm, what part of Military? Navy? Air Force? Army?" The older man asked, seeming much more interested in him now. Mrs Parker and Jess exchanged smiles.

"I was in the S.A.S, Sir." Becker answered, shortly.

"An Army Man, then? I was a General before I retired. Why aren't you in the Military anymore?" Mr Parker said, raising his eyebrows. Becker opened his mouth, but no sound came out. Thankfully, Jess jump in ahead.

"He was shot in the leg. They weren't sure whether he'd be able to keep up. So they assigned him to MI5, instead." Jess explained quickly.

"I see. You seem to walk fine to me." Mr Parker said, narrowing his eyebrows.

"I work out a lot. I didn't let it slow me down." Becker said calmly.

"Why don't you re-apply for the SAS, then?" Mr Parker asked.

"Well…I met Jess and MI5 runs less of a risk." Becker explained, smiling at Jess. Mr Parker opened his mouth, probably to ask another question, but Mrs Parker quickly cut across him.

"How did you meet?" She asked, changing the subject.

"Well. I was serving Coffee one day and Becker came in." Jess said slowly. She hadn't thought of this. But this time it was Becker who came to the rescue.

"I was only meant to get a quick cup of coffee after work before heading home. But she and I bumped into each other and Jess, accidentally, got coffee all down my shirt. We laughed it off and ya know just stood talking for a while. Then I ended up buying her a coffee and we sat down and talked for hours. Eventually she gave me her number." Becker told them, taking Jess's hand in his.

"Oh how sweet." Mrs Parker cooed.

"Adorable." Mr Parker grunted. He was obviously back to his old self. Jess awkwardly smiled and went back to her food. She could just smell the train-wreck that was waiting.


Meanwhile, Stephen was flicking through the TV stations. Why was there nothing ever good on? He'd been texting Cookie all day, but hadn't gotten a reply in quite a while. He was just about to call her when the doorbell went off. Stephen got to his feet and went to the front door. He opened it and gasped. Standing before him was a beautiful young woman with dark brown hair and blue eyes.

"Hey sweetie!" Cookie said, as they hugged.

"What are you doing here?" Stephen asked, before kissing her thoroughly.

"Well excuse me for coming to visit my boyfriend. Anyway, it's my little brother's wedding in Nine days! How could I pass up this chance to make sure he's not getting cold feet!" Cookie said brightly. Stephen laughed and pulled her inside, kissing her and shut the door behind him.


Jess woke the next morning, cuddling into Becker's chest. She carefully got out of bed, so not to work her fiancé, pulled on her dressing gown and then went out into the Living Room. She could hear her father's snores from the spare room. Jess looked up at the clock and saw it was 6:32Am.

Jess rubbed her eyes and sat down at the table, with a cup of coffee and the blue booker-binder. It was covered in stickers and ribbons along the spine. She smiled and opened it.

This little blue book-binder has everything in it. The Seating Plan, the Caterer, the Flowers and the Bridesmaids dresses. Even the Hotel they were getting married at. The creaking of a door made Jess looked up. Their stood her Mother.

"Hey baby-girl. What's this?" Mrs Parker asked, walking over and sitting down beside him.

"It's our Wedding Planner. Wanna look?" Jess said, passing it over to her mother so she could see.

"I thought it was meant to be a small Wedding?" Mrs Parker laughed as she saw the thickness of the book-binder. Jess laughed too.

"It was meant to be. But I guess it's not as small as we'd originally planned. But it's defiantly smaller than our friends Abby's and Connor's wedding. They got married in Paris." Jess told her Mum.

Mrs Parker laughed lightly as she opened the book-binder and smiled in a dazzling sort of way. She looked up at daughter and smiled in a sort of sad way. She reached over and tucked a strand of hair behind Jess's hair.

"You're growing up so much." Mrs Parker whispered, loud enough for Jess to hear. "You've grown into such a beautiful young woman. I'm so proud of you. I think your Grandmother would very proud of you too. And that Becker seems very nice."

"Daddy doesn't think so." Jess said taking her Mother's hand.

"Please, don't you worry about your Father. His problem is that you're his little girl. But he'll grow used to the idea. As I said; don't you worry." Mrs Parker said, patting her daughter's hand. She leaned over and kissed her daughter's forehead.


Mrs Parker and Jess laughed as they made breakfast in the kitchen, just like old times. Around 7Am, Becker woke up and watched the girls with a smile on his face. Soon Mr Parker woke and he and Becker sat beside each other, and thought they didn't talk much; they seemed more comfortable in each other's company.

Becker's phone went off half way through breakfast. Jess looked up and Becker's eyes widened. Please, oh please, let it not be anomaly!

"Excuse me." Becker said, getting up and leaving the room. Mr Parker watched him go with a suspicious look on his face. In their bedroom, Becker answered his phone. "Hello?"

"Hello Captain Becker, its James Lester."

"Please tell me there isn't an anomaly." Becker said through gritted teeth.

"You're in luck, no. As a Wedding Gift for you and Jessica, my wife had proposed we take you and everyone else out to dinner tonight." Lester told him.

"Well, that's really nice of you. But Jess's parents are in town…" Becker was saying before Lester cut him off.

"You're point? They'll just have to come with you. I'm not asking you to come, I'm ordering you too. I'll have a limo pick you all up around 7ish. It has a Black Tie dress code. Be there." Lester said in his sardonic tone, with that said he hanged up. Becker stared at his phone and then looked up at Jess as she entered the room.

"Fancy dinner with the Core Team, you're parents, Lester and his wife?" Becker said, putting his phone his pocket.

"What?" Jess asked, looking astonished.

"As a Wedding Present, Lester has invited us all to dinner at a fancy Restraunt." Becker explained.

"When?" Jess asked, her voice going slightly higher pitched.

"Tonight. 7ish." He answered shortly. There was a silence as Jess stared at Becker with wide eyes. She then groaned and threw her hands up in exasperation. Becker chuckled lightly and pulled her into a hug.

"You've got to be kidding me!" Jess mumbled into his chest.

Author's Note: P.S Mijo54, I assumed as women go full 9months pregnancy for a single baby that they did the same if you had triplets. Really sorry, but it's too late to change it now. So…just pretend!
