Chapter Six. The Final Chapter.

Tex was fast asleep in the chair after two hours of waiting for news as a women who's sixteen year old son had gotten in a car accident continued waiting also when a nurse walked over.

"Allison?" Tex sat up.

"Me."

"Your fiancé is fine. You can go see him in room 68." Tex sighed in relief as the nurse walked over to the women.

"Is my son okay?" The nurse sighed.

"I'm sorry. WE did all we could." The women started crying an the nurse walked away.

"Oh my god." Tex sat down next to the women.

"I'm so sorry." The women looked at her.

"Don't ever do anything you might regret. The last thing I said to my son was that I thought he was hopeless. I regret that." Tex hugged her an looked at the door of room 68.

"I won't. I won't." After a couple minutes Tex pulled away an ran happily into room 68 to see Church smiling at her in bed.

"CHURCH!" She jumped on his bed an hugged him as he hugged her back.

"TEX!" She cried slightly then he let go of her, but she didn't do the same.

"Tex?" She didn't loosen.

"I love you so much." Church hugged her back again.

"I love you too. Are you okay Tex?"

"I'm fine. Better then ever actually." She pulled away an looked at him with a passionate stare with glistening eyes.

"Good. You seem a little happy. Hit your head?" Tex shook her head.

"Nope. I just got a wake up call though." Church raised an eyebrow.

"Wake up call?" Tex kissed him an a nurse walked by spotting them then backed away.

-----------------

"Anything? A bagel, a coffee, a hug, a-" Church cut Tex off by putting his hand on her mouth an laughed.

"I'm fine sweetie. I don't need anything." He pulled his hand away fearing she'd start back up again.

"Are you sure? I could get you anything." Church laughed again.

"Yeah." Church smirked then they heard a knock at the doorway an turned to see Tucker.

"Interrupting anything?" Church shook his head.

"No. Not unless you call Tex naming stuff she could get me something." Tucker laughed an walked in.

"Why's she so eager to please?" Church laughed.

"I have no idea." Tex smiled at tucker an Tucker looked at Church with a serious expression.

"Is this like a sign of the apocalypse?" Church looked at Tex strangely.

"I hope not." Tex looked at Church eagerly.

"Are you sure you don't need anything?" Church nodded.

"Of course. If I need anything I promise I'll ask you baby." Tex nodded as Tucker sat down on the opposite side of the room.

"Baby, huh? She's even letting you give her a nickname?" Church smiled.

"You better believe it."

"You guys are creepy." Church shook his head.

"You don't even know the meaning of creepy Tucker." Tex nodded.

"I don't?" They both shook their heads.

"Uh.. Okay."

"Now. Hey Tex?" She stood up.

"What?" Church pulled her back down.

"I was just going to ask if you would hand me my cup of water. You don't have to go commando." Tex handed it to him off his moving tray that had been moved away an he took a drink.

"Sorry. I'm just still in pleasing mode." Church handed it to her an she sat it back on his tray.

"Its okay. Just a bit annoying." Tex smiled an Tucker split them as they made eye contact.

"How's things been at the house?" They both turned to Tucker.

"Don't remind me." Church pointed out an Tex nodded.

"Its been horrible." Tucker looked at them confused.

"Not been working out living together?" Church sighed.

"That's been great. The UNSC just gave us a faulty house." Tucker tilted his head.

"Faulty?" Tex sighed also.

"We'll explain later." Tex said holding Church's hand on his bed.

"Okay. Now if you'll excuse me I'm going to go get something to eat an check out the local chicks." Tucker walked to the doorway.

"You guys want anything?" They both nodded an he walked out.

"Suit yourself."

"You ask me to come here Tex?"

"No. He called me an told ME he was coming." Church shook his head.

"I'm just going to have to face it. No matter how much I hate it they're my friends." Tex leaned her head on his shoulder.

"Mine too." Church smoothed her Red hair.

"I think our vacation is over." Tex sat up.

"Why?"

"I think we should finish it back in Valhalla." Tex nodded.

"I guess that would be a good choice." Church looked out the window then around the room.

"I'll miss Earth, but I don't think we belong here anymore." Tex nodded again.

"I know. What about our wedding?" Church thought for a moment then smirked.

"I have a perfect idea." Tex looked at him curiously.

"That would be?"

-------------------

"You nervous?" Tucker asked Church as they stood on top of Blue base out of their armor an Sarge was standing nearby them.

"I little." Church stated as Tucker whispered to him.

"Lets do this dirt bags!" Church turned to Sarge then looked to the right of him to see Tex an jumped.

"Damn it Tex!" She laughed as he turned to her.

"Black dress? Why am I not surprised?" Tex laughed again.

"Cobalt tie? Why am I not surprised?" Church smirked.

"NOW! Ladies, gentlemen, robot friends an filthy Blues! We are gathered here today for the wedding of TWO filthy Blues!" Tex looked at Sarge.

"I'm not a Blue."

"Sh! I'm doing a ceremony here!" Tex looked back at Church.

"Okay. Ahem! Now if there is anyone here that has a reason why these two Blues shouldn't wed please speak now or forever shut your mouth!" There was a brief silence.

"Good! Church? Do you take Tex to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"Yeah yeah."

"And do you promise to be with her through sickness, health, richer or poor or nasty or friendly?"

"I totally agree with the sickness an health and even the richer or poorer, but the nasty thing has me a bit nervous." Tucker hit him slightly with his elbow.

"Your so dead after this." Church nodded.

"I know."

"Shut it Blues! Just put the ring on so we can get this over with an I can go kill Grif!" Church nodded an put on her plain Gold wedding band.

"Now Tex. Do you take Church to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

"Whatever."

"And do you promise to be with her through sickness, health, richer or poor or dead or alive?"

"Sure." She slipped on his wedding band.

"I now pronounce you husband an wife! You may kiss the bride!" Church kissed her an everyone, but Grif an Caboose stood up an clapped as they stopped an turned to them.

"I give you Mr. and Mrs. Church!" Caboose hugged Church an Tex laughed as Church tried to push him off an Tucker got behind them an Sheila took a picture.

"Get off me Caboose!"

"You're my best friend!" Church sighed an Tex hugged Church.

The End.
