Chapter 10: Patiently

Conner got up and grabbed the phone. "Who are you calling?" She asked. Conner looked at her with a grin.

"Going to call some of our friends," he replied.

"What are we going to pull this off like Ben and Jennifer? Wearing our regular clothes only?"

"Want my honest opinion?"

Kira laughed and threw a pillow at him. Conner laughed as he dialed a few of their friends' numbers. Kira got up and she went up to her closet. She looked over the dresses in her closet when she came across one of her favorites that she wore. She let out a sigh as she pulled it out. She wore it to one of the music awards, she only wore it once and that was when she had just married Conner.

It was a Florida Silk Cocktail Bridal Beaded. Contemporary brilliant beaded version of the 1920s classic party flapper dress with cut panels along the hem. It had bordering beaded with silver and yellow bugle beads arranged into crystal floral patterns.

"Kira?" Conner called. Kira put the dress away and looked up when Conner came in.

"Yeah?" She asked.

"I called a minister, he's on his way here."

"Here?"

"Yeah. What better way to have a secret ceremony then right in our backyard?"

Kira smiled and she wrapped her arms around his neck. "Just in a little while you're going to be mine again," he commented.

"Whoever said I wasn't?" She asked.

Conner smiled and kissed her gently. Kira giggled and pushed him back. "You are not supposed to be up here," she told him.

"Fine, I'm leaving now," he told her.

Kira laughed as she practically pushed him out the door. A couple of minutes later there was a knock on her door. "Go away Conner," she insisted.

"It's Kimberly," the person answered.

Kira laughed as she opened the door. "Hey, Kim," she greeted. Kimberly came in and hugged her.

"Heard there's a wedding going on," she commented.

"You can say that," Kira answered.

"Brought a few friends over as witnesses."

"Perfect as long as they can keep a secret."

"No worries."

Kira smiled as she pulled out the dress she was going to wear. "It's perfect," Kimberly commented. Kira nodded as she changed into the dress. "Sit down, time for hair," she announced. Kira rolled her eyes and sat down as Kimberly did her hair and makeup. "Nervous?" She asked. Kira shrugged.

"A little bit. I mean…I don't want to lose him again," Kira replied.

"It won't happen again," Kimberly assured her.

Kira took a deep breath. "I hope not," she answered.

"Ready?" Kimberly asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Kira replied.

Kira stood up and looked at herself in the mirror. "The perfect bride," Kimberly commented. Kira smiled and she pushed a strand of hair behind her ear.

"Let's go," Kira stated.

Then both women left the room.

Conner stood where the altar would be nervous. He looked up when Kira walked up and a smile came across his face. He held her hands as the ceremony had started. The Dino team was there as well as the Ninja team and the original Ranger team. Conner took a deep breath when he started to speak. "Um…okay…Kira, you know as well as I do I'm not good at these things," he started. Kira smiled and gave his hands a gentle squeeze. "Okay, Kira…the past two years have been nothing but torture without you. Ever since Colin's death I made the mistake of letting him go and then I was an idiot to let you go. I promise that won't happen again. You are my life. I love you now more than ever," he confessed. Kira smiled.

"Even though this was last minute, but I'm glad we both decided to this. You always have and always will be everything to me. You may have been the dumb jock that I met in high school, but you're my jock and I'm never letting you go again. We can work through anything if we could help each other heal from Colin's death. I love you," she explained.

Ethan handed the minister two rings, two different rings. Conner took one ring and he placed it onto Kira's finger. "With this ring. I still bind my heart and soul to you, Kira Ford," he informed. Kira smiled as she took the other ring and placed it onto his finger.

"With this ring. I still bind my heart and soul to you, Conner McKnight," she answered.

"By the powers invested in me in the state of California. I now pronounce you husband and wife again," the minister announced.

Conner smiled as he wrapped his arms around her waist and kissed her.

Later on that night, Conner and Kira were laying in bed. "I have a question. If this was a last minute thing. How on Earth did Ethan get these rings?" She asked. Conner grinned.

"May have been a last minute thing for you, but I've had those put away for awhile," he replied.

Kira smiled and kissed his cheek. "You sneak," she laughed.

"That's me," he replied.

He chuckled as he kissed her forehead. "Never let you go ever again," he told her. Kira sighed and placed her head on his chest.

"Wouldn't happen, you're stuck with me now, McKnight," she answered.

Conner smiled as he had her face him and he kissed her deeply before pushing her back against the bed. Enjoying their night together after two years of a hard separation.
