Chapter 6 Part 4
Jane was stunned and confused. She lifted her tear stained face to his.
"Do you not like them?" Kurt asked "Jane? We can change them if you want?"
She didn't know what to say. She was expecting an engagement ring not ear rings, maybe Patterson got it wrong. She felt like a right idiot. She had to answer him, he was staring at her and he deserved an answer, he didn't do anything wrong, she jumped to conclusions, stupid! She quickly wiped her face and smiled.
"I love them, sorry, I was just overwhelmed. They're too much Kurt…"
"Nonsense! You deserve more. I love you so much; this is just a small appreciation of my love for you…"
Jane smiled and kissed him.
"I love you too."
"Why don't you go to bed and I'll be in a in after I've locked up?"
Jane took the box and lightly fingered the gorgeous studs, they really were gorgeous she thought. She walked back to their room while Kurt locked up for the night, she didn't see the wide smile on his face.
She had an idea that would make him smile.
"Oh Kurt, I'm wearing the ear rings." Jane called from their room a few minutes later
"Ok, I'll be in soon." Kurt replied
"Oh Kurt, what I should have said was I'm wearing only the ear rings!"
Kurt paused what he was doing, locking up then quickly checked every window was locked and then he ran to their room and low and behold there was Jane sitting up against the pillows in nothing but the emerald studs, he almost stopped breathing. She looked amazing; needless to say, they enjoyed the rest of their anniversary, immensely.
They woke up later than usual; they did celebrate into the early hours of the morning so it was to be expected. Neither of them wanted to get up so they just stayed cuddling each other which led to other things. It was a couple of hours later that they actually got up from the bed. They already called the kids and decided on a lazy day around the apartment, this was such a rare occurrence they thought they better take advantage of it. When Kurt got up to make them brunch Jane saw she had several messages from Patterson and Zapata, this was going to be embarrassing but she better get it over with she supposed.
She took a photo of the studs after she took them off and placed them back in the box, and quickly sent the photo before she could chicken out. Who knew that Kurt would be more excited about emerald studs than she was or it may have something to do with the fact that she was completely naked that made him excited she thought. She didn't have to wait too long for the dreaded replies.
"But…but…but…what happened to the engagement ring?" asked Patterson
"There wasn't one, it was always studs."
"I'm so sorry Jane…" replied Zapata
"Don't be, I have a man who loves me who I love. I'm happy and the ear rings are GORGEOUS!"
"I'M SO SORRY Jane. I should never have said anything…" texted Patterson
"Hey, seriously guys, I'm fine, disappointed yes, but fine. I know Kurt loves me and I love him. At least I know that if and when he asks I will be ready! Plus who says he should be the one to ask? I could do the asking."
There was no response and Jane guessed that the two didn't know what to say.
"Guys, seriously, it's fine. Kurt is actually making us brunch right now, I'm lucky. I've got to go. See you tomorrow for the team lunch, bye!"
The rest of the day was wonderful, they just relaxed. They lounged on the sofa, read, made out then made out some more, they napped on the sofa. By the time they woke up it was late afternoon and Kurt really wanted to make brownies so he got up and insisted Jane help him, it took them longer than normal as they had to kiss between each stage then things got messy when they tasted the remnants in the bowl, they each ended up with brownie mixture on their body and the other had no qualms licking it off which led to more distractions. Once the brownies were in the oven and the mess was cleared up Kurt asked for Jane's help to make their dinner, pasta Bolognese. They were a great team and even though Jane didn't think she was in her element in the kitchen she did help by peeling, chopping and stirring. It was good to work together, they had a great time. Jane set the table, they were still in their clothes that they put on when they finally got out of bed, Jane was wearing one of his t-shirts, a pair of panties and a pair of socks while Kurt was wearing a t-shirt, shorts and a pair of socks. They sat at the table and ate their delicious dinner, with extra cheese of course. They lingered over their meal, they didn't have to hurry. They talked about this and that. After a long while, Kurt gathered up their plates and took them to the sink and came back for the rest of the dishes but before he could pick them up Jane was going to get up when Kurt waved her back down, Kurt was clearing the table when he dropped a paper napkin he bent down to pick it up but when Jane looked he was on one knee facing her with a GORGEOUS diamond and emerald ring in his hand.
"Jane, I love you so much. You and the kids make life worth living. I would love to spend the rest of my life with you, I want to have kids with you, and I want to grow old with you. The last year has been the best of my life and I want that for the rest of my life, will you do me the honour of becoming my wife? Jane, will you marry me?"
Jane was stunned, she started to tear up as soon as she saw him on one knee, and she listened to what he said even though she wanted to shout YES straight away. Once he finished speaking she leaned down to kiss him and there wasn't any doubt in his mind what her answer was. Once they broke apart they touched their foreheads together as they gathered their respective breaths.
"Yes!" whispered Jane
Kurt's smile was blinding, he knew her answer when she kissed him but he loved hearing the word.
He placed the ring on her finger. It was a simple band with diamonds and emeralds, they were small but it was so her, thought Jane. She liked small and simple and Kurt knew that. She pulled him up from his knee and pulled him into their bedroom where they celebrated for the rest of the night, the brownies forgotten.
After round number…who knew or cared…Jane was resting on Kurt's chest, he was stroking her back languidly with his thumb when she realised something.
"You planned the whole thing didn't you? Patterson, the restaurant…everything!"
"Well, we hadn't spoken specifically about marriage and I wanted it to be somewhat romantic. I didn't want it to be as if we were discussing a case or anything…"
Jane chuckled.
"You're a brave man, once Patterson finds out…"
"She'll be too happy for us plus she'll help you plan the wedding to be too mad at me!"
"Keep telling yourself that! You know that she remembers everything. She will get you back. You didn't have to get me the ear rings, each one is too much but both together is way over the top…"
"No it's not, I knew I wanted two separate presents for you. Yesterday was an anniversary gift today is an engagement one."
Jane didn't even bother to send a photo of the ring, the team were coming around for a celebration anyway but now it would be a double one. They did call Sawyer though mainly because he made Kurt promised to call when she said yes and even though they didn't call straight away, he was the first person they told.
Everyone turned up, Patterson, Reade and Zapata were the last ones, Ella was running around, now that she could it was hard to stop her, she liked having the freedom. Everyone was standing around chatting when the rest of the team had arrived. No sooner as they removed their coats did Patterson and Zapata start screaming. Something which startled everyone in the room and caused the agents in the room to look for the cause and reach for their weapons, Ella actually stood still at the strange noise and after her initial shock, moved closer to the nearest adult. The screaming carried on for a while, once the others realised that there was no threat they calmed down and stared at the two female agents. Zapata pushed Kurt aside just as Patterson did the same with Reade to rush to Jane who looked like a deer caught in the headlights at the charging team mates. She was enveloped in their arms and then they started to jump up and down, Jane didn't understand what was happening and her look of help to the others in her eye line was ignored as they had no idea what was going on either. Eventually the screaming stopped, the hug ended then they grabbed her left hand and were fawning over the ring, Zapata looked over at Kurt.
"You did good boss!"
"Yeah, you've got good taste!" chimed Patterson
Then as one they turned to Jane.
"Thanks for letting us know!" Zapata said sarcastically
"Yeah, a text wouldn't have gone amiss!"
"Look, we knew you were coming anyway and we thought we'd tell you when you arrived, with everyone else…"
"So no one here knew that you're engaged?" questioned Zapata with a tone
"The only person that we told was Sawyer!"
They looked at the young boy who stepped closer to his Uncle at the look.
"He made me promise to phone him once Jane had said yes but we got excited and celebrated first so we called him this morning." Added Kurt laying a protective hand on Sawyer's shoulder
The team had a double celebration for the end of the case and the engagement although Patterson did manage to corner Kurt at some point during the day.
"So…did you choose the engagement ring?" asked Patterson trying to be casual
"Yes." Kurt thought being abrupt was the best course of action as there was no way he could out manoeuvre Patterson she was way smarter than he was.
"Did you have any help?"
"Nope!"
"No one gave you any advice?"
"No."
"You weren't tempted to go . . . bigger?"
"Nope!"
"Did you always know what you wanted?"
"Yep!"
"Hmmmmmm…interesting, for some reason I thought that you may think bigger is better; I wonder where I could have got an idea like that?"
"No idea."
That was the end of the conversation but Kurt wasn't stupid, he knew that wasn't the end of it for Patterson, Jane was right, she never forgot a thing. He was too happy to watch his back and he was pretty sure that he was safe until after the wedding.
Two months later…
Kurt was in bed it was early but he'd spent the day with Sawyer and Reade, they made dinner at Reade's and Sawyer was spending the night at Reade's, Kurt got home and was tired, Jane was spending the day with Zapata and Patterson, he was reading a book that he's had for ages but only just got around to reading. He heard the key in the lock and knew Jane was back, he heard her close and relock the door, then he heard some noises but he couldn't place them. Then Jane appeared in the bedroom, she came towards the bed and collapsed onto it, face first and she was in a deep sleep. She wasn't injured; she had a sock hanging off of one foot and the rest of her clothes on. He didn't want to remove her clothes; she seemed really out of it. He got up to retrieve her throw from the couch and what he found flabbergasted him, there from the door to the apartment to their room was her bag on the floor followed by her jacket, then one sneaker followed by the second making a trail. He'd never seen her like this after a day out with the girls, after a long case; sure, he'd been like that himself but not after a fun day. He gathered up her stuff and put everything in its place, quickly grabbed the throw and went back to Jane, he covered her with the throw and got back into bed, she didn't stir once.
The next morning Kurt was in the kitchen getting breakfast ready, Sawyer was coming back and Ella was going to be dropped off later. The smell of coffee was strong, he could hear Jane moving around, and she seemed more with it this morning than last night. When she finally arrived in the kitchen, she was more like her usual self however she seemed a little down. He placed a mug full of coffee in front of her and when he was going to move away she grabbed his hand and pulled him closer and down to capture his mouth.
"Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, good morning to you too!" said Kurt after they broke the kiss.
Jane smiled but it didn't quite reach her eyes.
They ate their breakfast, well Kurt did, and Jane just picked at her food which was worrying as she always had a healthy appetite. Once it was obvious that both had finished their first meal of the day Kurt pushed both plates back, and then took Jane's hand in his.
"Jane, do you want to talk about it?"
He watched as she opened and closed her mouth several times.
"Do you know what I did yesterday?"
Kurt knew this was a rhetorical question so kept his mouth shut.
"What time did I leave here?"
"Um about 10 am, I guess…" said Kurt
"Yep, and Zapata and Patterson and I had a nice lovely brunch then we went wedding dress shopping. We arrived at the boutique at around midday and we didn't leave until 7! Yep, that's right SEVEN HOURS trying on wedding dresses! I didn't know there were SO many different wedding dresses! Zapata and Patterson unashamedly used their badges to keep the shop open for longer for us and we didn't even buy a dress! Now you know me, I figure out what I need, where I can get it and I'm in and out within 20 mins max so imagine how I felt about trying on dresses for SEVEN HOURS!"
"Jane…"
"No, don't 'Jane' me! That was torture! Then we went for dinner and we talked about wedding cakes and first songs and other things that I don't give a crap about!"
There was silence in the kitchen. Neither knew what to say.
"Jane…" began Kurt
"NO! I love you, I want to marry you but I didn't think that I'd have to wait nearly a year to do so. Plus I don't want to spend so much money on a dress that I will only wear for one day, or hundreds of dollars on a cake. Maybe it would be different if we didn't have the kids but we do, I would rather save most of that money for their college fund!"
"Jane, I just want to marry you. I don't care about it being a big wedding or the perfect wedding. I just want you to be Mrs Doe-Weller…"
Jane searched his eyes for the truth and she saw everything she wanted to right there in front of her.
"What are you saying?"
"I would marry you tomorrow if I could!"
"So we don't have to wait for months and months to marry?"
"No, we could have a registry wedding in several weeks; we could even try to see if we could get the same date as Sawyer's adoption…"
"Really?" asked Jane hopefully
"Yeah, why not, it could be a double celebration!"
"What about the team?"
"Look, I know they want a big wedding but it's our wedding and we can do it however we want to. Plus we don't have to tell them about it. They're already invited for Sawyer's adoption; it will just be a longer ceremony than expected! Anyway what else can Patterson do? She's already reprogrammed my cell so whenever anyone phones me then their ringtone is Sesame Street, Barney, The Teletubbies and other soundtrack form kids' T.V. shows, the scary thing is that I don't recognise some of them but sometimes I would see Sawyer and or Ella react to my cell and I know it's from a show. My cell has 'accidently' gone off when I've been in a meeting even though no one is phoning me!"
"Are you sure?"
"Of course, on one condition though."
"What's that?" asked Jane
"I still want you to wear a white dress…" Kurt held up a hand to forestall Jane "…it doesn't have to be an expensive one but if you need any money…" Kurt changed tact when he saw the look Jane was giving him. "…forget I said that, I still want you to wear white. Please?"
"Ok, but what about Sawyer? Will he be upset about sharing his day?"
Kurt chuckled.
"Sawyer won't mind, he was disappointed that we were going to wait months and months to get married."
"Ok, so we're going to get married in a few weeks? Great, we'll have to tell Sawyer."
"What is it Jane?" Kurt asked as she had a look in her eye
"I was just wondering would it be ok if we took a family holiday instead of a honeymoon?"
"Of course, why not?"
"I just want to make sure that the kids know that nothing will change and that we still love them even though we're married, well Sawyer will call you dad and me, mom but everything else will stay the same. Where could we go?"
"How about Disney World?"
"I thought that was going to be a whole family vacation when Ella was a little older?"
"That was the plan but plans change."
"Will Allie and Connor be ok with that?"
"Leave them to me, it will be fine!"
Three weeks later…
Jane and Kurt were always smiling and the others couldn't figure out why, it was a Saturday and they all had to come in to finish some paperwork but even that didn't diminish their smiles. Sawyer was with them as they were going to the movies afterwards. Mayfair wanted to catch up with Sawyer and told him to go and sit in her office. She noticed that Sawyer was subdued compared to his Aunt and Uncle and she wanted to get to the bottom of it.
"Hey Sawyer, are you ok?"
"Yes."
"Are you nervous about Friday about being adopted by your Uncle and Aunt?"
Sawyer's shocked look appeased her mind somewhat.
"NO! I can't wait!"
Sawyer remembered when his Uncle, Aunt and Edgar talked to him about adopting him; They all sat on the coffee table opposite him.
"Sawyer, you know your Aunt and I are going to be getting married? Well we also, with Edgar want to adopt you. I already have guardianship of you but I want it to be official just as Jane and Edgar do."
"Sawyer, I can never replace your mom and I'm not trying to but I want you to know that it would be an honour to have you as my son." Said Jane
"Same here. You're my son in every way apart from biological and I never want you to doubt my love for you or that of your Aunt's or Uncle's so we all want to adopt you." Said Reade
"So we'll give you some time to think about it and you can ask us whatever questions you want…" said Kurt
"NO!" said Sawyer
Then he threw himself at Edgar, then Jane and Kurt, hugging them with all his might.
"Does this mean I need to call you 'mom and dads'?
They looked at each other.
"You can carry on calling us Aunt and Uncle if you'd feel more comfortable with that…" said Jane
"Are you and Uncle Kurt going to have kids of your own?"
"If we're lucky enough to, then yes." Said Kurt
"Well, they'd just get…confused if I was to call you Uncle Kurt and Aunt Jane, I think it would be better if I called you dad and mom!"
"Only if you're sure, we don't want to force you into anything…" said Jane
"So why are you looking a little glum young man?"
She watched as he stubbornly kept his mouth shut, he was definitely his Uncle's nephew, she thought. Mayfair knew what would get him talking and she wanted to get to the bottom of this so she took matters into her own hands.
"C'mon, let's go?"
"Where are we going?" asked Sawyer
"We're getting out of here, don't worry I'll have you back in enough time so you don't miss the movie."
The team watched as Mayfair came out and was followed by Sawyer.
"We're going for a milkshake and no you're not invited. You all have paperwork to finish. I swear Kurt; if that hand in your pocket is going for your wallet to give me money for a milkshake for my grandson then you'll find yourself on desk duty for a month!"
The two stared at each other and everyone noticed that Kurt kept his hand in his pocket.
"Good! Get back to work!"
The team watched as Sawyer and Mayfair walked to the elevator and watched as the doors closed in front of them. They were stunned.
Sawyer had the biggest chocolate milkshake that he'd ever seen in front of him while Mayfair had a vanilla one. She watched as he played with his milkshake.
"So are you going to tell me what's on your mind?" Mayfair asked
Sawyer sighed.
"It's just that I don't want to go on vacation."
"Ok, why? Do you think you're too old for Disney World? Because trust me, I think your Uncle will have more fun than you and Ella combined!"
"No, it's not because I'm too old…"
"Ok, why then?"
Sawyer shrugged his shoulders.
"C'mon, you can tell me. Do you not want to go on vacation with your Aunt?"
"NO! Of course I do!"
"Sawyer, I'm trying to understand but I can't help if you don't talk to me."
Mayfair knew how to interrogate a suspect, not that Sawyer was a suspect but she knew how to wait. She only had to wait five minutes before he caved.
"I don't want to go on honeymoon…"
Mayfair heard and understood the words but she didn't understand what Sawyer just said.
"What do you mean 'honeymoon'? You know married people go on…honeymoon." Then everything fell into place. "Sawyer are you saying that your Aunt and Uncle are getting married soon?"
Sawyer nodded his head "They're getting married on the same day that their adopting me! And we're going to Disney World for our vacation but married people should go on a honeymoon not on a family vacation with two kids!"
"That's why you're a little down, because your Aunt and Uncle are not going to have a honeymoon?"
Sawyer nodded.
"Ok, now I know what the problem is I can sort it out, now drink your milkshake while I'll try to resolve your problem!"
Sawyer watched as Mayfair took out her cell and began to type and send so many messages one after the other.
Mayfair created a group with everyone but Kurt and Jane. She ordered them, yes including Allie and Connor to let her know when they were free to 'talk', specifically for Patterson, Reade and Zapata to get away from Jane and Kurt ASAP but discreetly. She only had to wait a few minutes before they all told her they were free to talk so she laid it out for them.
"Jane and Kurt getting married this Friday, same day as Sawyer's adoption. Double celebration. Sawyer is down as they will not be having a honeymoon but a family vacation instead."
Zapata : WHAT?
Mayfair: Hey, they want to get married, the question is do we turn up and pretend we knew nothing about it or do we celebrate with them? What are going to do?
Reade: I think we should do something, neither of them are flamboyant but it would be nice to celebrate their marriage. Sawyer and I could make a cake for them.
Patterson: I could take care of their honeymoon.
Allie: Connor and I will look after the kids.
Zapata: I'll help with the reception.
Mayfair: Great, so we have a plan. Try not to let them know that we know that they're getting married on Friday, Zapata and Patterson!
Zapata: Hey!
Patterson: Double Hey! Ma'am.
"I'm going to kill him!"
"Now Allie, calm down."
"Calm down? Calm down? He didn't tell us that he was getting married!"
"You love Jane."
"Yes, I do but it's the fact that they were hiding it! They could have told us! That's the reason why Kurt gave up Harry Potter! So he could take Ella to Disney World. I'm going to read all the books to her and watch all the films with her!"
"Allie, c'mon, he could have easily just taken the kids there without telling us but he didn't. He and Jane wanted a family vacation instead of a honeymoon, that says a lot, it's not as if they've had a lot of time to themselves and even during the one time they should be they're taking the kids…"
"Hey, I'm still mad; you don't have to be all logical and such. Why didn't they tell us? We would have helped them."
"Did you notice when Jane talked about her shopping trip with Zapata and Patterson? Remember? You couldn't make it but even you shuddered and you love shopping!"
"True, but still! Ok, we're going to have both kids for a week; we just need to sort some things out."
"It won't be a problem, you'll see."
"Hey Kurt, I'm going to collect Sawyer from school on Wednesday and Thursday ok?" said Reade
"Er why?"
"Well, Sawyer wants to make a special cake for Friday but he wants it to be a surprise, so I was thinking we could bake on Wednesday and then decorate on Thursday and bring it to your place on Friday…"
"I could help you; you two could do it at our place…?"
"That's nice of you to offer but Sawyer really wants it to be a surprise ok?"
"Ok."
Mayfair and Zapata rented out their favourite Italian restaurant and planned out the reception. Patterson was busy researching the most romantic honeymoon destinations. Reade and Sawyer looked at loads of recipes and narrowed it down to three before picking the one that would be suitable for a wedding cake. Allie and Connor had the least to do as Sawyer already had stuff at their place plus they had a key and could go and collect stuff at any time.
Friday morning came; Sawyer stayed at Reade's the night before to finish decorating. Jane got ready in her old room. She found a white summer dress that was high in the front but longer at the back, it was sleeveless. She teamed it up with white sneakers. Kurt was wearing a gorgeous new charcoal three piece suit. When they each exited their rooms both were stunned by the other then they smiled, walked to each other and kissed.
The whole team met at the courthouse, Reade and Sawyer already took the cake to the restaurant earlier. Allie, Connor and Ella arrived. Everyone was just waiting for the bride and groom; they didn't have to wait long though.
They were called into a room where Sawyer's adoption was made official; he now had two dads and a mom, everyone clapped and cheered. Then the official began another speech "We are now gathered here…"
Both Jane and Kurt expected gasps of shock they heard nothing, as one they turned to see nothing but smiles on their family's faces. They looked at each other and shrugged their shoulders and proceeded to get married. Their first kiss as a married couple lasted longer than was decent; the cheers broke into their own private world which caused them to break apart.
At the end once they left the room, they were supposed to go back to their place for a small celebration for Sawyer at least that was the original plan but the team hijacked it! Mayfair guided the newlyweds to the waiting limousine, where everyone piled in and they were taken to the restaurant.
Jane and Kurt were totally surprised by what they saw. There were many agents there as well as the police officer and his wife that helped Jane when she was discovered as well as a few members of staff from Sawyer's school who liked Jane, obviously Miss Moore was not one of them not that she worked there anymore. The restaurant was decorated tastefully, not that Mayfair would have allowed anything else, there was plenty of food for the buffet and a certain cake took centre stage on the table, next to another cake. Both were stunned speechless. The guests all cheered when they saw the happy couple. Kurt recovered just before Jane did. They accepted all the congratulations they were given. Kurt gave a quick speech of thanks to everyone who attended and to his wonderful wife. They went to the table to cut the cake and saw the cake next to it which was a 'Happy Adoption Day' cake for Sawyer, who looked completely shocked. He looked to Mayfair for an answer.
"Hey, your dads are not the only ones that can bake!"
So Sawyer cut his cake first and fed a little to Kurt, Jane and Edgar and they did the same to him. He was nearly in tears as he hugged each of them. Ella not to be left out insisted that her daddy, Ann Jan and Sawya feed her cake which they did.
Then they moved onto the wedding cake, it was a two layer 'Death by Chocolate' cake, it was cut and they fed each other. They mingled with their guests.
Then it was time for their first dance. Kurt and Jane walked onto the cleared area of the floor to their song, Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat.
Kurt took Jane in his arms and she wrapped her arms around his neck.
Do you hear me,
I'm talking to you
Across the water across the deep blue ocean
Under the open sky, oh my, baby I'm trying
They both had wide smiles on their faces as they swayed to the music.
Boy I hear you in my dreams
I feel your whisper across the sea
I keep you with me in my heart
You make it easier when life gets hard
They had their foreheads together as they listened to the music and the words. Everyone was watching them and knew that they were in their own little world. They deserved to be happy.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Kurt spun Jane out and she giggled at his actions and spun back to him.
They don't know how long it takes
Waiting for a love like this
Every time we say goodbye
I wish we had one more kiss
I'll wait for you I promise you, I will
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
Lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
"You're my home Jane, you and the kids, you're my home." Said Kurt
"And you're mine, you and the kids!" replied Jane
And so I'm sailing through the sea
To an island where we'll meet
You'll hear the music fill the air
I'll put a flower in your hair
Though the breezes through the trees
Move so pretty you're all I see
As the world keeps spinning round
You hold me right here right now
They kissed and then rested their foreheads together again and continued to sway to their song.
I'm lucky I'm in love with my best friend
Lucky to have been where I have been
Lucky to be coming home again
I'm lucky we're in love in every way
Lucky to have stayed where we have stayed
Lucky to be coming home someday
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
There were cheers when their dance ended. Patterson, Zapata, Allie, Ella (in Kurt's arms) and Mayfair took turns to dance with Kurt whereas Reade, Connor, Sawyer and the officer took turns with Jane.
Once the reception was winding down the team, including Allie, Connor and the kids surrounded the happy couple.
"Well no doubt you're ready for your trip to Disney World but that is not going to happen. You are in fact going to Venice for a week and later on in the year then you'll take a family vacation!" declared Mayfair
"That's very generous of you but the kids have been looking forward to Disney World…" began Kurt
"I think you'll find that this arrangement is better for all around." Chimed in Allie
"Plus, we're all spending some time with Sawyer…" said Zapata
"You mean spoiling him?" questioned Jane
"Heh, we all need some quality time with Sawyer!"
Both Jane and Kurt took Sawyer to one side.
"Hey buddy, we can still go to Disney World, it will be great!"
"Uncle Kurt, I mean dad, can I speak to you, privately?"
Jane and Kurt looked at each other and Jane walked back to the group.
"What is it buddy?"
"Well, I don't want to go on honeymoon with you…"
Kurt looked crestfallen.
"…It's just that kids aren't supposed to go on honeymoon with their parents plus if I did that then you may not bring me back a present!"
Kurt saw the cheeky look Sawyer was giving him and for the life of him he couldn't resist.
"So what do you want us to bring back for you?"
Sawyer indicated for Kurt to lean forward so he could whisper in his ear, Kurt did.
"I want another baby brother or sister or both!"
Kurt stood up straight after that and looked at his nephew no son and he still saw the cheeky smile. While still looking at Sawyer Kurt spoke.
"Jane. We're going to Venice!"
"But we can't leave the kids!" said Jane
"Mom, I'll be fine. We're going to watch a few movies, bake some cakes and cookies and have a few sleepovers and then you'll be back. You have your fun and I'll have mine!"
Hearing Sawyer call her 'mom' for the first time floored her. She couldn't remember doing it but then she was hugging Sawyer, he would say suffocating him and even though Kurt had to pry her arms from around the growing boy Sawyer still loved the feeling.
So it was agreed, the couple would go to Venice, their bags had already been packed. The team but primarily Reade, would look after Sawyer only on the proviso that Sawyer would call them if there was a problem and they would be calling every few hours to make sure he and Ella were fine.
Each of them held Sawyer for a few minutes before they left. Sawyer just patted them on the back, what else could he do?
Sawyer had a great time with the team as if he wouldn't. Kurt and Jane had a great time in Venice. It looked like Sawyer was going to get his present but not for a few months yet.
A/N: Please remember this is fanfiction and whereas you may not be able to get adopted and married in the same hour (or at the same place) for the purposes of my story it worked.
This is the technically the last chapter. If I write another one it will be an epilogue.
I only heard 'Lucky' by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat a couple of years ago and as soon as I did, I knew it would be the perfect song for Kurt and Jane for their wedding. A few others that I thought of were:
Slow Hands by Niall Horan
Perfect by Ed Sheran
At Last by Etta James
Can't take my eyes off of you by Andy Williams
And I can't remember the others
