A\N 1: Alright so I had a bit of writer's block for this story but then I remembered something my friends on Twitter have been telling me since we met. I write my best when I write young children so late last night I got the great idea to write the wedding chapter from Noah's perspective but not in first person. So, since I've had a flu but I'm starting to feel better I stayed up late last night writing this chapter. I know its shorter then usual but I'm actually quite proud of it.

A\N 2: I know in the last chapter I said this was going to be the last one but I need to add in a few more chapters to connect it to the sequel I'm planning to write. So there will be approximately 5-8 more chapters of this story plus an epilogue.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

Spoilers: None

Chapter 10

Noah tugged at his tie until it came loose. Before letting it fall, he attempted to tie it again. He attempted to remember how his father had tied it for him and how he'd seen him tie his own ties. After two attempts he frowned and let out a slight whine.

"Noah!" Oliver turned to look at his son and saw that his tie was loosely tied the wrong way, "Noah, why did you untie it? The wedding starts soon," Oliver knelt down next to him and started to tie it again.

"No Daddy!" Noah shook his head, "I want to do!" He tugged at Oliver's hand and tried to pry them off the tie.

"Noah!" Olivet took a deep breath in order to not lose his temper, "I am glad you want to be more independent and grown up. However, now is not the right time. Mommy and Daddy are getting married and it's an important day. How about after the wedding we put a tie on Ollie and then you can practice alright?"

"Okay," Noah let Oliver fix the tie, when he was finished, he walked over to the door and reached up to open it, "I go see Mommy?" He asked hopefully turning his head and looking at Oliver, Joe and Norman. "Peese," He added.

Since Shane had to get up early to get her hair and make-up done Noah had slept at Oliver's house the previous night. He had in fact stayed with Oliver most of the week and seen very little of Shane, this was something Oliver knew was affecting both of them. "Sure I think Mommy would like that. Just knock on the door first. It's the room just down the hallway," Oliver explained, "The one with a sign on it, like the one on this door," Oliver opened the door to the room and pointed to the sign on it.

Noah nodded his head and took his stuffed bird Ollie with him as he walked down the hallway. He stopped at the correct door and knocked, "Mommy!" He called out, Rita opened the door with a smile and Noah went running into the room. He saw Shane all dressed in her wedding dress and grinned, "You look so beautiful!" He ran and gave her a huge hug. "Daddy said I could come see you. I missed you," He looked up at her and smiled.

"I know sweetie," Shane hugged him tightly, "I missed you too." Shane hated how she'd hardly gotten to spend any time with her son over the past few days. And since she and Oliver were leaving for their one week honeymoon the following day, she wouldn't have much time to spend with him. "When Mommy and Daddy get back from their vacation, I promise we'll spend some time together just the two of us. I'm so proud of you though for being such a big boy through all of this, so understanding."

"Daddy says-" Noah pause trying to remember the phrase he was thinking about, "Uhm, something about-" He frowned, "I can't remember."

"That's okay Daddy knows lots of big words and expressions," Shane smiled, "You don't have to remember them all. Now I think you should go back to Daddy; the wedding is going to start soon."

"Okay Mommy," Noah nodded his head. He was going to stand up at the alter with Oliver and Norman and he was so proud and happy with himself that he was able to do this. He had promised he'd be on his best behaviour and he was certain he would be able to do it without much of a problem. After all he was two and a half and almost three. In September he'd be old enough to go to actual Sunday School and join in children's programs like the children's choir. Something he was very much looking forward too.

"Hi I'm Noah Anthony O'Toole." Noah walked up to Shane with a huge grin on his face. "Mommy was that good?" He asked before she had any chance to respond.

"Yes, that's very good," Shane nodded her head, "But remember Mommy and Daddy have to sign some papers tomorrow with lawyers to make everything official. Now stay here because it's almost time to get some pictures taken," She told him. "And then you and Grandpa are going to go and help get everything ready for the dinner tonight."

"I'm going to stay up Mommy! I promise," Noah desperately wanted to stay up for most of the reception which was being held at the Mailbox Grille.

"Okay but remember Grandpa can take you home if you get to tired, Shane told him. Just then the photographer announced he was ready to take pictures and was going to start with Oliver, Shane and Noah.

Noah managed to stay up until ten o'clock, which seeing as he was up at seven in the morning and didn't have a nap was the longest period of time, he'd gone without sleeping.

"Come here son," Oliver lifted Noah out of the chair he was sitting in and into his arms, "I'm so proud of you. You were such a big boy today," He kissed his cheek, Noah already falling asleep in his father's arms.

"Love you Daddy," Noah mumbled sleepily, "Where Mommy?"

"Mommy is just over here, you can say goodnight to her and then Grandpa can take you home." Oliver carried him over to where Shane was speaking to some of the guests at the wedding, as soon as she saw her husband and son approaching, she politely excused herself.

"You're all tired out," Shane gently kissed her son's blonde hair, "I love you Noah."

"Love you Mommy," Noah yawned again. He looked briefly up at her before placing his head back on Oliver's shoulder.

"I'm going to go and give him to my Dad. Then we can dance again," Oliver placed a soft kiss on his new bride's lips before going to find his father. Joe was going to be looking after Noah while he and Shane were on their honeymoon and he had lots of fun things lined up for them to do. He was keeping him out of daycare for the week as they had something new planned every day. Oliver wasn't sure who was more excited, his father or his son.

"He's almost asleep," Oliver passed a very tired Noah over to his father, "Shane and I will try to come and see him tomorrow before out flight."

"You two just worry about yourselves for a few days, Noah's in good hands," Joe smiled, "Noah and I are going to have our own mini vacation. First up on Monday is a helicopter ride. I'll try to video it, I know he'll be so excited.:

"Yes. He certainly does love anything that flies, special airplanes and helicopters. Shane and I woukd both like to see that video I'm sure."

"We'll I should go and get Noah into bed," Joe patted his son's shoulder as he left carrying Noah.
