Hey guys! Sorry it's taken so long for me to post this, the first week back to school has been just crazy. This is the second last chapter so I hope you all enjoy it and I hope I wrote it okay. Also the wedding stuff is really cheezy and I'm sorry for that, but I didn't know how to write it so I just stole it from one of my sisters stories... ENJOY!

Chapter 11

It had been almost 5 weeks since Alex had seen Sean. She didn't know where he was, but he had been calling her to let her know he was okay. For the first 2 weeks she figure he was getting things together, and she kept saying it would just be one more day, or maybe two but after the third weeks it just got to hard for. She had talked to Nikita about what to do and she had just told her to stick with it but she didn't think she could anymore.

Alex was in the living room taking apart then reassembling a long range sniper, something she used to do the repetitiveness of the actions calmed her, when she heard the door open. She figured it was Nikita and Michael conning home from shopping so she didn't bother turning around. What she didn't expect was to hear Sean's all to familiar "Hi" behind her.

She turned around and looked at him with a blank face. "What do you want?" Alex spat out.

"Well, don't get to excited." He said smiling thinking that she was joking. His face quickly fell when he kept the same expression.

"What do you want me to say Sean? You were missing for almost 3 months, I thought you were dead and when you finally got home you told me you wouldn't leave me or our son and the first thing you do is leave and I barely here from you for more than a month. I came to terms with the fact that you might not be coming back." Alex said coldly.

Sean stood there and felt like someone had just shot him in the chest and then stared pushing on the wound. "Alex, I didn..." He started, but Alex cut him off.

"Just stop! I'm sick of this. I thought you would be the one constant in my life, because Michael and Nikita could go off and have kids and a house with a white picket fence and Birkhoff and Sonya would have little mini nerds and have a kick ass techno house but you would always be there for me. But I can't do this anymore. Just please leave." Alex said wiping the lone tear that had run down her cheek.

"No." Sean said remaining in his position.

"Sean don make this difficult just please leave." Alex said turning back to the gun on the table.

"No Alex. Listen, I left because I had PTSD. I couldn't bare it of something happened to you, or our son. I was sick, I'm better now." Sean said walking over to her and turning her to face him. "Look at me, I'm not leaving you. I just needed to get better. Please Alex, don't give up on me. Not yet, not now. Please." He said looking at her with eyes filled with a mixture of sadness, fear and determination.

Alex stared at him. She knew he never meant to leave them. And it was probably mainly the hormones talking but she jus felt so abandoned. "Sean I have had so many people in my life either die or leave, my father, Sarah, Thom, Robbie, Nathan and I can't lose someone again. I can't lose you. I wouldn't be able to handle it." She said breaking into tears from the flood of emotions.

Sean took two huge steps and pulled her into a hug and simply stood there as she broke down against his chest. "It's okay. I'm not going to leave you." He said. After a few minutes they pulled apart. When they did Sean brought his hands up to Alex's shoulders and looked at her. "I swear on my life, the only way I'm ever going to leave you, our son and any future children we may have is that if someone drags me away, and even then I'll be putting up one hell of a fight to stay with you. I'm never going to leave you. Okay?" Sean said his brown eyes burning into her ice blue ones.

Alex nodded her head. "Okay."

Sean looked at Alex. " Marry me," he said.

Alex looked at him slightly confused. "I already said yes. That hasn't changed." she said honestly.

Sean chuckled. "No, I mean like now. Before the baby is born, today even. Marry me." Alex looked at him with a look of shock which quickly turned to a smile.

"Okay. Let's do it." she said. "I'll call Nikita." She said as she pulled away and, as fast as she could being nearly 8 months pregnant, ran up the stairs where she grabbed a phone and quickly called Nikita. "Hey Alex. What up?" she asked.

"Sean came home." she said simply.

"Oh honey that's great. How are you doing?" she asked wondering about the younger girl.

"Im okay. Listen we decided to get married today, do you think you can get everyone together?" Alex asked.

"Of course! Sonya and I will be right over to help you get ready. I am so excited for you! Ok. I'll see you soon." She said hanging up. Alex chuckled at her older mentor as she put the phone back on the receiver.

Nikita and Sonya had come over and got Alex all sorted out. It was going to be an overly simple wedding with only 6 people in attendance. (Nikita, Michael, Birkhoff, Sonya, Ryan, Owen) Alex was wearing one of Nikita's old maternity dresses. It was a full length white dress with light purple designs on the neck line, around the arms and at the bottom. Nikita had done her hair for her, some of her hair was pulled back from the front on either side and put into a pony tail while the rest hung underneath it. Sonya had done her make up which consigned of a bit of purple eyeshadow and lip gloss

Michael and Birkhoff had come over and were now trying to get A nervous Sean ready. "Sean just start by putting on the suit and the undershirt you can worry about the tie later." Michael pleaded with him.

"Fine, but Michael can you please go ask Nikita what colour Alex is wearing, I will never live it down with the girls if the wedding photos all clash." Sean said. He knew Alex always dreamt of a nice big fancy wedding and now that they weren't having one he wanted to make everything perfect for her.

"Sure Sean. I'll be right back. But make sure you're in your suit." He said walking out the door. Michael headed down the hall to where the girls were getting ready and knocked on the door "Nikita can I see you for a minute?" he asked through the door.

"Sure Michael." she said opening the door. "What's up?" She asked.

"Sean wants to know what colour Alex is wearing do that he can wear the right tie. He said because they weren't having a huge wedding that he would hate it if they clashed in all the wedding photos." He said explained why poor Sean was so stressed.

"Well Alex is wearing mostly light purple so either the same sort of colour or one that's slightly darker will work. Tell him not to think to much about it." Nikita said.

Alex stopped him by adding in one last comment before he left. "Can you also please tell him that it doesn't matter to me if our wedding is fancy or busy, the only important thing is that I'm marrying him. I know that sounds cheesy as hell but its true." She said not wanting Sean to worry about their last minute decision.

Michael nodded. "Ok I'll make sure he knows." he said heading back to the room. When he walked in Sean was sitting on a chair bouncing his leg up and down out of boredom while explain his fears to Birkhoff, who was to busy on the computer to really notice or care. He looked at Michael as soon as he walked through the door.

"So, what did she say? What colour should I be wearing. Oh god we're going to clash aren't we." he said pacing again. "You know being in the Navy, especially SEAL Team 6, they prepare you for every possibly scenario before you into combat but I don't remember there being a course on how to get past wedding day jitters. That was never part I BUD/S." He said quickly.

Birkhoff looked up at Michael and raised an eyebrow giving him a 'this guy is nuts' look while motioning to Sean. Michael chuckled at both men and tried to put out the fire.

"Sean calm down. I know the prospect of marriage can be scary because you love them so much and you feel that if you get married that you'll some how disappoint them either as a father or husband and that they'll stop loving you. I worried about the exact same stuff before both my weddings, even more so when I married Nikita because we had been through so much but you know what? Marriage is the best thing that could ever happened to you. Yes you'll have your ups and downs but everything will work out. I promise." He said reassuring his friend that nothing bad would happened. "Now, Nikita said that Alex is wearing purple so you should probably think of wearing a dark purple, not to dark by not to light either." Michael said as he went into the walk in closet and started to go through Sean's surprisingly large assortment of ties.

When Michael looked back at him giving him a rather questioning loom Sean explained. "They're from my time at oversight. They wanted a constant look of authority and you couldn't have that if you were wearing the same tie everyday, and I get a tie every year from either one of my sisters so they sort of just accumulate out d control. Alex organized them for me, that's why they're all sorted by colour and then by shade." he said sheepishly.

Michael let out a chuckle, Nikita had done the exact same thing with his array if various ties from over the years, not that he would ever tell anybody. "Here. Wear this one, I saw the colour on her dress it will go perfectly. " He said pulling a dark purple tie from the drawer.

Sean tied the tie around his neck before putting on his suit jacket. "Thanks for your help Michael. With everything." Sean said as he tied his shoe.

"It's no problem at all Sean. That's what best men are for." Michael said.

"Now let's go. It would suck if you were late for your own wedding." He said.

Sean got up from his spot and straightened out his suit jacket before following Michael down the stairs. Birkhoff headed down the hall way to where the girls were getting ready. He knocked on the door to make sure they were all decent. "Anastasia you ready in there?" he called somewhat jokingly.

"Sonya can you get the door?" He heard Alex ask inside the room. Seconds later to door opened. Birkhoff's jaw just about it the floor when he saw Sonya. They had been dating for nearly 3 years so he had seen her dressed nicely before but this was something else. She had her hair done up in a messy bun and her blue dress went to just above her knees.

"You look fantastic." He said quilt giving her a quick kiss.

"Thanks. You don't look to bad yourself." She said smiling.

"Alex you ready to go?" Birkhoff asked. She stood up from her spot and walked over to him.

"Yeah. Let's go." She said. Sonya and Nikita walked downstairs first so that they could get to the makeshift alter first, although it was a small wedding they had been able to get a small area down near the bottom of the beach. On the left stood the guys Sean's best man was Michael and his other groomsmen was Owen. In the middle was Ryan who would be performing the ceremony, just like he had done at Nikita and Michael's wedding. To the right of Ryan stood Nikita, maid of honor, and Sonya. Birkhoff moved his arm so that Alex could put her arm through his.

"Thanks for doing this Birkhoff. It means a lot." Alex said as they walked on the beach.

Birkhoff smiled. "No problem Russian Princess. Just make sure the SEAL treats you well. Otherwise I'll have to kick his ass" He said being slightly less intimidating then he had hoped.

"We've been through so much I think there's only good left." Alex said as they walked out the back door down toward the beach. Birkhoff finished walking her down the aisle as he gave her a light kiss on te check and walked of to Sean other side. Ryan then started the ceremony.

"Sean, do you take Alex to be your lawful wedded wife, to live in the holy estate of matrimony? Will you love, honour, comfort, and cherish her from this day forward, forsaking all others, keeping only unto her for as long as you both shall live?" Ryan asked as he faced Sean.

"I do" He said without hesitation as he looked lovingly at Alex.

He repeated the process with Alex who didn't skip a second before answering 'I do'.

"May I have the rings?" Ryan asked turning towards Michael and Nikita who each handed him a ring.

"May this ring be blessed so he who gives it and she who wears it may abide in peace, and continue in love until life's end." Ryan said as he handed the ring to Sean who gently slid it onto Alex's finger.

Ryan blessed the second ring and ten handed it to Alex who took Sean's had her hers as she placed it on his ring finger smiling.

"As I doubt there are any objections to this marriage I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride." Ryan said. Sean leant forward and gave Alex a kiss as their fiends clapped around them, happy that they were finally together.

When they finally broke apart Birkhoff walked up the them and handed them an envelope. "What's this?" Alex asked as she looked at Sean who opened it.

"He bought us a house." Sean said staring shocked at Birkhoff.

"It's not a big deal. I just thought that since you guys were having the baby that you may want your own place. It's right next door." He said pointing to a house a few hundred feet away. "It wasn't that hard to do either. I figured you guys would want a place near by." He said wrapping his arm around Sonya's waist who had walked over to him.

"Thank you so much Birkhoff." Alex said.

"No problem Princess." He said smiling.

Next Nikita and Michael walked over to them. They too handed the couple another envelope.

"Guys none of you had to get us anything." Sean stressed as Alex opened the envelope hands to her.

"What is it?" Sean asked looking over her shoulder. "It's a set of plane tickets and accommodation to the destination of our choice." Alex said in disbelief.

"Now it is good for the next 5 years, I figured because of the pregnancy you guys probably won't travel anywhere for at least a year so. And when you guys do decide to go we will gladly look after the baby for you." Michael said.

"Thank you both do much!" Alex said giving Nikita a hug.

"No problem. You guys deserve it. Now we'll leave you guys be and go check out your new house. Your cloths are already over there." Nikita told them. Birkhoff handed them a key as the newly married couple walked to their new house. They walked in and immediately their jaws hit the floor. The house had been all made up with a complete high tech kitchen and beautiful sitting area with a large screen tv. They went down to the basement where there was another large tv and a leather couch. In the back there was a large cold celar along with a safe room in the back filled with various weapons. Alex picked up a note that had been left on the table.

Just in case. Owen

Alex chuckled lightly. They each also had there own office with a computer. They headed back upstairs to te since floor, there was a guest bedroom at the far end of the hall, the master suit had a large walk in closet with plenty of room for both of them, and a large bathroom with a two person shower, something told Alex that Nikita had something to do with that part. They then moved to where the nursery was already made up. They had already talked to everybody about the colours they wanted and when they walked in it was better than they could have imagined. The walls were painted with blue and brown strips and there was white furniture that added light to the room along with a large window looking over the ocean. They went through the rest of the house and saw 2 other bedrooms.

"This is amazing!" Alex exclaimed happily as she walked back down the stairs and sat down on the couch.

"I'm glad you think so." Sean said trying hide is smiled.

Alex turned around and looked at him. "You knew about this?" She asked is disbelief.

"Yeah, I wanted to surprise you and Birkhoff helped with that." Sean said as he say down beside her and gave her a kiss.

"Well thank you then." Alex said as she laid her head down on Sean's chest.

"No problem. I'd do anything for you. You know that right?" Sean asked looking down at her.

"Yeah I know. I'd do anything for you too." She said moving over as Sean sat down next to her.

"I also wanted to say sorry." He said as he wrapped his arm around her.

"What for?" Alex asked looking up at him.

"For leaving you. First to go on tour and than I ran out on you. I'm sorry, I shouldn't have put you through that." Sean said sadly.

"Sean you have nothing to apologize for, working with the Navy was something you'd done for years before you went to

Division and it never bothered me that you wanted to go back. And the second time you left to protect me and I know I yelled earlier but I was just frustrated I'm sorry if I made you feel like this was your fault. It wasn't." Alex said calming him down.

"I'm never going to leave you again. Okay?" Sean asked.

"Okay." She replied kissing him. They went to sleep that night together for the first time as a married couple and neither of them could think of a better day in their lives up to that point.
