This story is almost done. I know it's not as long as fifteen chapters or something, but I've tried to make it longer. You can only do what cha can. Review please!

Tucker was sitting on a log for the longest day. All the other African American soldiers were talking, resting, or just wondering when the war would end. It had been five years since the war started and it seemed to never end. There were wars that they succeeded and wars they lost. There was no telling if the Union would win or lose.

The captain walked over to the soldiers with an emotionless look on his face. His face lifted up and every soldier looked straight towards their captain.

"Congratulations, you boys are free," the captain announced. The Union had won the war.

Every soldier screamed and shouted as loudly as they could. They had won the war and everyone could return home to their loved ones or find their loved ones. Tucker smiled and packed up to go to the only place he called home. He went onto his buggy and was driving on his way back south. His smile was quaint and his eyes were bright.

Jack and Jazz had just returned home from the war. Though they lost, they were happy to be back home safe and sound. Jack was the first person to see Tucker on his buggy returning back to the Fenton Home. He parked by the house.

Tucker had changed since the last Jack had seen him. Tucker was very tall for one thing, his arms and legs have grown buff from the war, he had grown a mustache, and his face showed a little emotion. Jack didn't have emotion either, there were trials that were unsolved and that he had to live with for the rest of his life. There were things Jack regretted and could never forgive himself for. He was still glad to see Tucker again.

"Hey! What brings you here? You're a free man now!" Jack asked.

"Oh, I'm here to pick up my fiancee and I'm waiting for Danny. We're going to California. I heard there was a huge amount of gold there," Tucker said with a quaint smile.

"I heard that too," Jack agreed with the same smile.

Jack and Tucker heard a buggy that belonged to Danny. He had also grown tall. He wasn't as buff as Tucker was, but he had grown strong. Danny had grown a short beard around his face. He didn't show much emotion. He had just returned from a long war that lasted almost over five years. He and Tucker were nineteen years old.

"Hey Dad," Danny greeted as they both have a bear hug. "I thought I... you know."

"Danny, let's not talk about it, ok," Jack said as Danny nodded.

"Did Tucker tell you about us going to California?"

"He did. Your mother and I will arrange the wedding. Do you mind if you and Tucker are married in the same wedding. Jazz said you wouldn't mind and that it would set Tucker up."

"Of coarse! We'll be traveling together anyway."

Tucker smiled brightly for the first time since the war. The wedding was to be right before the two couples started their move. The journey was expected to be long and the boys wanted to start right away as soon as possible. Sam and Valerie were thinking the same thing. The two families planned the wedding, even though Pam and Jeremy didn't like a mixed wedding. The wedding was settled and Jeremy agreed it was time for his daughter to be married since Sam was getting older and all the other girls her age were married already.

The church was small with all the seats filled with families and friends. The pastor stood on the pulpit with Danny on the left and Tucker on the right. The boys smiled as the organ was playing wedding songs. There were no bride's maids since the boys tried to make the wedding as cheap as possible. There was a long journey to the west and the wedding had to be quick.

Sam and Valerie walked together on the isle with their dresses white as snow. Their vale was covering their faces and reached down to their knees. Jeremy was between the girls his arm for each girl. Valerie lost her parents at the age of five at the auction and wanted Sam's father to lead her to the groom. The brides went up to the man they were to be married to. There were traditional vows the brides and grooms had to make before the final vow.

"Will you Danny Fenton take Sam Manson and will you Tucker Foley take Valerie Gray to be your wedded wife?"

"I do," Danny and Tucker said at the same time.

"Will you Sam Manson take Danny Fenton and will you Valerie Gray take Tucker Foley to be your wedded husband?"

"I do," Sam and Valerie said at the same time.

"I pronounce you four as husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Danny and Tucker kissed their brides. The two couples were now newly weds and left the church onto a traveling horse and carriage. It was enough to fit four people, so Tucker and Danny were on the front while their brides were in the back. Their travel was very long. The journey was to go from Virginia to California and that would be several states plus territories away. The newly weds would have to sleep inside the buggy since they were far into the country unless they found a nearby town with an inn. Their journey was still very long.

When the group was in Kansas, they happened to have stopped by a small town to rest for the night. Danny sighed deeply while he was lying on his bed. Sam brushed her hand through his thick black hair with a quaint smile. Tucker, on the other hand, was sound asleep on the bed in the other room. His snore was so loud, a person could hear it three rooms away. Sam started chuckling a little as Danny started smiling.

"The slaves maybe free, but they're not free from waking everyone else up," Danny joked as Sam chuckled a little bit more loudly.

"I wonder how Valerie can sleep through that," Sam said.

"Because Tucker, compared to you, is a lot easier to sleep with," Danny teased as Sam stuffed a pillow at her husband.

"You stop that, I do not snore!"

"Yes, you do. The hotel managers had to go to the barn in order to get any sleep at all."

Sam, then started swinging the pillow on Danny's face as Danny took his wife's arms and slammed her on the bed before kissing her passionately on the lips.

"I love you, honey," Danny said before kissing Sam again.

"I love you too," Sam replied.

"Since Tucker and Valerie are sleeping, how about we get a little cozy?"

"I never thought you'd ask."

Danny and Sam covered themselves under the blankets. Sam's dress started peeking from under the blankets before Danny's pants and shirt. The blankets were continually moving while Danny and Sam giggled soundly.
