Chapter 10: Making It Official

The origins of the two lights were Rachel and Sans, and to everyone's surprise, Rachel's soul was rainbow colored, something that was very rare. Sans' own soul was glowing a much brighter blue than usual and a gentle surge of power flowed between them and gently tethered the two souls, but kept them in their proper places in both Rachel's and Sans' chests. The warmth from it was so wonderful that both looked at each other, Rachel's sightless eyes looking straight at Sans. "I think I found my soulmate," she said.

"And I found mine," he said.

The beautiful lights gently faded away and in front of everyone, Sans gently brushed his fingers over Rachel's face and leaned closer, kissing her, to which she let him and kissed him back while the monsters and humans around them barely held in happy squeals, Alphys being especially excited as she began posting pictures of them, happy that her OTP was true.

The door to Grillby's then opened and more humans came in, having seen the whole incident and had been watching. One of them spoke up. "If a human can find a soulmate in a monster, then perhaps…we humans can at least start working with monsters too," he said.

"Yes," said a lady. "They deserve that much."

That filled all the monsters with joy and Rachel then turned to try and find Grillby, sticking her hand out and feeling warmth when she moved her hand to her left and she reached for it. Grillby, seeing she was looking for him, gently took hold of her hand and she smiled. "Grillby, can Sans and I have the wedding here?" She asked.

"Of course," he readily agreed, seeing Sans was surprised that his soulmate wanted the wedding at the restaurant, but then the skeleton smiled.

"I knew she was a girl after my own heart the moment she took my breath away," he said.

The blonde-haired girl smiled, blushing a little. "Did I really?" She asked, deciding not to point out his puns.

"Yes," Sans said seriously. "No joke, you did."

She smiled again and they heard the door open again and a police officer walked in, removing his hat and smiling at them all. "I can tell you mean it," the newcomer said.

Rachel instantly perked up at hearing his voice and her face took on a look of surprise and hope. "Brian? Is that you?" She asked, standing up and walking towards him, holding out her hands, which he caught gently and put her hands on his shoulders and she carefully moved her hands, feeling the fabric of his uniform, along with other pins and his badge before she smiled. "You made it," she said.

He nodded. "I did," he said before accepting a hug from her, mostly ignoring the curious looks from everyone, but the young woman felt them and she turned to them all.

"This is my cousin, Brian," she said to them all. "He's been training at the police academy and if I'm not mistaken, he's graduated."

"That's right, cous," Brian said with a smile.

Rachel smiled at him before turning to the other monsters. "Brian is the one who got me set up in my apartment and he takes care of the rent while I handle the other bills. He even gave me enough money to live off of until I secured a job," she explained. "He's the only one in my family who is supportive of me being on my own."

Undyne came over to Brian and gave him a once over. "You must be the new rookie my superior mentioned," she said.

"You're the fish lady detective?" The young man asked in surprise. "My judo instructor admires your style of fighting and taught my class those same moves."

She grinned. "I like you already, punk," she said. "And anyone who sticks by Rachel is cool in my books."

Sans grinned. "That's quite a compliment coming from her," he said.

Brian looked a bit bashful. "Thanks," he said before going up to Grillby and smiling. "And thank you, for giving my cousin a job."

The fire elemental smiled. "You're welcome," he said. "I'm more than happy to have her as my employee."

The young man then looked at Rachel. "You're doing okay, too, Rach?" He asked.

She nodded. "Yes," she said. "I've hit some hurdles, but thanks to everyone here, I've gotten over them."

Everyone smiled at that and Sans placed a hand on the girl's shoulder. "We just helped give you a little nudge here and there," he answered honestly, making her smile at him before she turned back to her cousin.

"Brian, um, I don't know if you saw…," she began and trailed off.

"I know," he said gently. "I saw the soulmate thing."

Noting that she looked concerned, he smiled. "I'm okay that you're in love with Sans," he said. "He earned my respect after you told me that he stuck by you even after learning about your blindness and had encouraged you to tell Grillby, whom I'm also glad to see stuck by you too." He then straightened up. "You and Sans have my blessing, Rachel."

She almost knocked him over when she threw herself at him and hugged him happily. He caught her and chuckled as he returned her hug and she pulled away to look at him with her sightless eyes. "Brian, will you…will you give me away to Sans on the wedding day?" She asked hopefully.

The young man's face registered surprise before he smiled. "It would be an honor," he said, making her smile again. "I also have our grandmother's wedding dress. She willed it to you."

Rachel's face took on a shocked and awed look. "The one with the stars and clocks on it? The one grandpa had specifically made for her?" She asked.

"The same one," Brian said, still smiling.

The young woman smiled again. "They were married for almost seventy years," she said.

"Wow," Frisk said in awe. "That's a long time."

They nodded and Brian turned to Sans. "Rachel told me about the group of monsters whom she met and became friends with, but I heard a lot about you, Sans," he said. "I'm glad that Rachel not only has good friends who will stick by her no matter what, but I'm also glad she found someone who sees her as a whole and accepts her for who she is."

The short skeleton smiled. "Thanks," he said appreciatively before giving Rachel a mischievous smirk.

"Uh-oh, he's gonna do it," Frisk said.

"I think I know what you mean," Rachel said.

"What?" Brian asked.

Sans grinned. "Rachel's a real eye catcher," he said. "Especially how she catches me when she stares at me with those mesmerizing blue eyes of hers."

The young woman blushed at that while Papyrus gave his older brother a look, but then sighed. "Considering you are making her blush, I'll let that earlier pun slide," he said.

Brian chuckled. "That's what Rach meant by your sense of humor," he said before growing solemn. "Sans, call me overprotective, but please take me seriously. Please take care of Rachel."

The short skeleton nodded solemnly. "I promise I'll take good care of her, Brian, and let her be herself, the girl that I love," he said, taking Rachel's hand and feeling her gently squeeze his hand in return. "That's a promise I'll keep forever."

Rachel smiled at him and pulled his face closer, kissing him again as he wrapped his arms around her, deepening the kiss as the patrons smiled and Sans gently broke the kiss to look around. "Everyone is invited to the wedding," he said and the young woman in his arms nodded in agreement, making them all cheer before Rachel felt the skeleton she loved gently pull her in for another deep, loving kiss.

Well, the proposal has been made. :) Next chapter is the epilogue and the wedding. :)
