Author's Note: So I was not planning on writing this chapter, but someone suggested I write an epilogue and I thought it was a good idea. After writing the last chapter, I figured what better way to end it than take us a few months forward to Trina's wedding just to see how things are going with everyone. Hope you like this short chapter.

Epilogue

The priest stands front and center, reciting verses about infinite and eternal love. His voice drowns out any other sound and the words escaping his lips makes the guests hopeful and content. Even the biggest cynic would be moved by the display of affection taking place. Tori stands just behind her sister, a smile from ear to ear on her face. Watching Trina and James getting married has felt like a long time coming and the sheer love that fills the room makes the last two years of her life seem insignificant.

She can hear the tremble in her sister's voice as she begins reciting her vows to her groom. "With you I've experienced the highest highs and the lowest lows and now, standing here in front of you, I know that it's all been worth it. Every disappointment in my life prepared me for this moment and allows me appreciate you" Trina starts, and tears immediately build in the eyes of every spectator in the room.

Tori takes the opportunity to glance around the room at the guests, all perfectly groomed and smiling. For a slight second, she frowns when she spots her parents sitting on opposite sides of the church, her mother leaning close to Gary and her father's arms wrapped around his newest girlfriend, Caroline. As happy as this moment is for the Vega family, it isn't perfect because at the core of them, they are still picking up the pieces of the divorce. All four have made the effort to move on, but it is a process that has taken longer than they had hoped.

Sitting just a few rows from her father she sees André and Rachel. The newlyweds are calm and happy. André leans over and whispers something in Rachel's ear which makes her smile grow even wider. At one moment, Tori makes eye contact with André and he smiles at her and nods his head. Happily accepting his gesture and glad to be rebuilding their friendship, she quickly waves at him and goes back to scanning the room.

Further back are Robbie and Cat, sitting next to Michael. The former couple, wearing coördinated outfits, are carrying on a conversation which Tori hopes is about their relationship. For the past several months, they have gotten to a better place, both individually and as friends. Robbie has forgiven Cat for leaving and has tried very hard to trust her again. He has helped Cat seek agents and read scripts for local musicals in an effort to get her out of the restaurant and closer to her dreams of becoming a singer.

Finally, Tori sees Beck sitting in one of the front pews. His crisp white shirt and gray tie compliment his olive skin just right. His usually unruly hair is perfectly slicked back into a pony tail, allowing her to focus solely on his dark brown eyes. She watches her boyfriend, who is far too concentrated on the ceremony to notice her watching him. Now more than ever, Trina's vows ring true to her. Had someone told her a yer ago that she would forgive him for the infidelities and once again love him unconditionally, she would have laughed. How ludicrous the idea would have been to her then. But here she stood, absolutely and completely in love with the man and she wouldn't have it any other way.

Their relationship has survived distance, lies and cheats and yet it is something she doesn't regret working to keep. Of course people assume she's insane for taking him back, people such as André who still refuses to speak to Beck and is always wary of the possibility of him hurting her again. While Tori appreciates the concern, she knows Beck. She sees the change in him... In them, and she knows the possibility doesn't exist. Not anymore.

"I do" she hears James say and she brings her attention back to the couple before her.

"I do too" her sister replies, sending a wave of laughter in the room.

As the priest blesses their newly married status and they seal it with a kiss, the guest erupt in howls and applause.

An hour or so later, once cocktail hour and the receiving line are over, everyone is ready for the reception. It takes Tori just a few minutes to kick off her heels and switch to more comfortable shoes. She stands in the corner, swaying slowly from side to side while Trina and James share their first dance as husband and wife. As Al Green's "lets stay together" blares from the speakers and a spotlight shines on her sister and brother-in-law, Tori feels a pair of arms wrapping around her waist.

Without turning around, she recognizes the hands and brings her own to rest on top of them. Gently, Beck leans his head on the crook of her neck, moving her slowly from side to side to the beat of the music.

"You look beautiful" he whispers to her. Tori smiles, knowing that only he would say that despite the questionable bridesmaids dress she has been forced to don.

"Thank you, you look very handsome" she replies, finally turning around to look at him. A strand of hair has managed to break free of the rest and she reaches over to push it behind his ear.

"Thanks babe" he says, grabbing her arm and bringing it up to his lips. He places his hand in the small of her back and pulls her closer to him. The close proximity makes her dizzy for a moment and she lets him take the lead. The young couple dance along to the song, both acknowledging the lyrics as true in for them as well.

"This will be us soon" Beck says after a few moments of silence. Tori's eyes widen.

Marriage. Sure she had thought about spending the rest of her life with him, but it's been a while since she saw them heading down that road. Ever since his last indiscretion, the idea hadn't crossed her mind. She had been too preoccupied trying to fix her life and start over. Even once they agreed to work things out, she was determined to take it slow and start from the beginning. Could they possibly be at this point after just a few months of being "officially" back together?

"No pressure" he replies, a smirk on his face.

She thinks about his words, and realizes that there would never be a sure way of knowing if they are indeed ready for marriage. Having been together for so long and going through the things they have while still being able to love each other proves that they are willing to make it work no matter what. Means that they love each other so much that even after the worse moments, they will still fight to be together. So why couldn't they think about marriage?

Looking at him, being so close to him and sharing such a happy occasion with him makes her realize that she wouldn't want to be with anyone else. As the song starts fading out, she is convinced that she is staring in the eyes of her future husband...but she doesn't tell him that.

Not yet.
