I can't tell you how sorry I am for not updating. I really, truly, can't. I only have a few excuses, like school, trying to get ready for dog shows, but now I have to take a break because MJ got hit by a car, but he's okay. So now, I have a bunch of free time. Also, because those are my only excuse, I should also tell you that I've just been lazy. I know my story is lacking, there's no drama yet, whatever, it will come soon.

"What the hell am I supposed to do?" Gail exclaimed, hands over her pale face. Traci looked at her and Andy, confused. Andy went up behind Gail and pulled the extra material of the dress away from her slim body, showing the extra fabric. Tracy shook her head, going up to calm Gail down, who was crying silently, angry and frustrated.
"Listen here, Icy, I don't know what happened, but suddenly your dress is too big. And I know you, girl, you are the toughest one I know. You aren't going to let something like this ruin your wedding day. I'm a mom, I could've had a career as a seamstress, don't fuss," Traci explained, grabbing a pair of scissors and a sewing kit from the corner.
Andy chuckled and raised an eyebrow. "No offence, Trace, but are you sure that you can sew a wedding dress, 3 hours before the wedding?" she asked. Traci gave her a pointed look, choosing to ignore her. She moved behind Gail, fixing up and placing pins. Andy watched from the front as Traci cut and sewed, and watched as Gail cringed.
At one point, Traci cursed and Gail freaked out again, claiming that she was screwed. Traci merely shushed her, grabbing a white piece of silk.
"Get over here, Gail," she instructed. Gail listened, and moved to stand in front of the dark woman. Traci wrapped the silk around her waist, tying it in a fancy bow at the back. "There," she said, "No one will ever be able to tell I cut it. Now, I may not be a seamstress, but I am an awesome improviser. So can I trust ya'll to trust me from now on?"
Andy and Gail laughed, nodding their promise.
"So," Andy started after a while of silence, "You guys have fun at the bachelorette party?" she asked, trying to start a conversation. Noelle nodded, laughing at the memory of the night before.
"Are you kidding me? Final day of freedom I spent getting drunk and watching male strippers, I had a freakin' blast," Gail all but screamed, the entire room breaking out in laughter. It quickly died down, though, when Gail's mom walked in.
"Hi Super Attendant Peck," the girls said simultaneously. Gail visibly tensed, knowing that her mom did not approve of the marriage. Andy reached down and grabbed Gail's hand, showing support for the young blonde.
"Gail, could I speak to you for a second?" she asked, but quite frankly it was more of an order. Gail glanced at Andy, who nodded and squeezed her hand tighter. Gail gave a small smile that was only for reassurance. She stiffly stood and followed her mother out the door and into the hallway. Andy glanced at Traci and Noelle, hoping they could keep the Peck's meeting a secret. They shook their heads, promising that they wouldn't tell. The air in the room was tense for a few minutes, waiting upon Gail's return.
When Gail reentered, her face was one of sadness. Her eyes were welled up with tears, her red lips turned in a frown, hands clenched by her side. Andy immediately stood, opening her arms for the bride, who accepted the offer. Andy brushed her hand through her hair, another hand rubbing circles on her back. Traci and Noelle stood, listening to Gail repeat what her mother had said to her. That's when Noelle stormed out of the room, quickly finding Elaine Peck, who was talking to a fellow officer.
"The nerve of you," they heard Noelle exclaim to the older woman. Gasps could be heard from the hallway and the room. The three girls could practically see the anger on the older Peck's face.
"The nerve of me? The nerve of you, talking to your superior like that. How dare you!" she retorted. Andy, Gail and Traci all know what was coming next, Noelle went into mother mode.
"No, you listen here, Mrs. Peck. I am sorry to talk to my superior like this, but right now, I'm not talking to you as Officer Williams, I'm talking to you, a mother, as a mother. And Ellie isn't grown up yet, so I don't know how it feels, but I can assure you that I wouldn't tell her that I was disappointed on who she was marrying. Your daughter has so much to offer, she's a great cop and a great woman. But if you keep putting her down, she will just have less to offer. I know that you want the best for her, and maybe Diaz isn't the best choice for her, but if he makes her happy, she will have so much more to offer."
Elaine Peck just gawked at Noelle, but after a moment, closed her mouth. She nodded; not realizing that even thought she wanted the best for her daughter, telling her what she can and cannot do wasn't the way to do so. Elaine walked up to Noelle, and informed her that when she got back to the division, they would be having a talk.
Elaine passed Noelle, walking into the bride's room. Gail was sandwiched between Traci and Andy, who were trying to comfort her. They stared at Elaine, scared, but refused to leave their friend.
"I, uh, I guess I'm sorry for acting in such a childish manner, but you need to realize that I want the best for you. But, if the best for you is being with Craig-"
"Chris."
"-Makes you be your best, I guess I can't stand in your way. Now, if you don't mind, the wedding starts in 45 minutes, you better get ready," she smiled. Gail stood up from the group, stood in front of her mother, and hugged her. If Elaine Peck was expecting anything, a hug wasn't it. The hug was short and awkward, and after, Elaine left, allowing the girls to get ready.

"I must say, Chris, when I first met you at the academy, I was wary. You didn't seem like a bad boy, someone who I was usually attracted to you. But something about your church boy getup had me pining, can't believe I just said that," Gail paused her vows, waiting for laughter to die down. "But I liked you. And as much as I'd rather be going after Swarek," another round of laughter, along with a chuckling Sam and Andy winking at him, "but you caught my eye. And when you kissed me after we caught that murderer, I was done. I guess I knew that I love you after that. You were it for me."
The crowd "Aw"d and gushed at how the two opposites found each other. Chris laughed, hoping to hurry so he could kiss his bride. The ceremony continued, Chris whispering to Gail every now and then, but the big moment arrived. They leaned in to each other, the moment their lips met, it was like the first time all over again.

Sam hugged Andy closed to his body as they danced on the floor. He inhaled her vanilla scent, wrapping his arms around her waist. He pressed a kiss to her neck and heard her giggle. How he loved the sound. He sat on the side during the wedding, his eyes never left Andy. During the wedding, he realized that he was more than excited for his. When he watched Diaz and Peck on the floor, having their first dance, he thought of him and Andy. How it would feel to hold his wife for the first time.
He swung her away from him, pulling her back quickly. He whispered sweet nothings in her ear, knowing that it would make her blush. He wanted this, a life forever with Andy, the dogs….
"Andy," he panicked, "Where are the dogs? We brought them with us." He looked frantically around the room crowded with people, momentarily annoyed to have his mind off his fiancé. Andy laughed, pointed to a Megan and Olivia Shaw, along with Leo and Ellie Best, who were playing with Merdock, whilst being supervised by Oliver. Sam nodded, "What about Molly?"
Andy's eyes widened, realizing that she couldn't find the odd coloured dog anywhere. She searched the room with her eyes, finally landing upon Chris and Gail, who laughed as Molly spun in circles for a treat, attempting to dance.
"I think she's okay," she assured. Sam nodded, knowing that the dog was friendly with everyone and could easily pick him out from a crowd. He looked back down into Andy's eyes, seeing the love and passion in them. Oh yeah, he couldn't wait to get married.

So, was that chapter okay? I know that it wasn't really Sam/Andy, but oh well. I also have to write another story anyways, not a fanfiction, sadly, because I finished my extra credit, so this is extra, extra credit. And I have to re-bandage MJ's paw. So I will write soon, I hope.
