One Year Later

"Wake up Jane! Today's the day!" my brothers were jumping up and down on my bed.

"Okay, I'm up!" I practically bolted out of bed.

"Donna, are you nervous?" Luke asked my mom as we sat down for breakfast.

"Of course I am, honey. It's my wedding day." She replied, smiling.

"I'm just happy that I'm not going to be a bastard anymore," I added.

"Well, technically you still are. I wasn't married when you were born."

"Oh, right. Damn it!"

"What's a bastard?" Jake asked.

"It's a person that's born before they should have been because their parents couldn't wait to have them." My mom replied sweetly.

"Am I a bastard?" he asked.

"No,"

"Why not? Didn't my parents want to have me?" Jake was almost crying.

"Of course they did! And you were born at the perfect time for them."

"Really?"

"Really,"

. . .

"Honey, can you help me?" my mother was putting on her wedding dress.

"Yeah sure," I zipped it up for her. "Wow, you look amazing."

"I feel like I'm 18 again. But in reality, I'm going to have an 18 year old daughter in a few months."

"Wow, I can't believe that I'm almost 18,"

"Me neither, honey. It seems like yesterday that you were learning how to walk and talk."

I hugged her. "I love you mom,"

"I love you too Jane,"

"Donna, are you ready?" my mother's maid of honor popped her head into the room.

"Yeah Jackie, I'm ready,"

I sat down in the front pew of the church next to my brothers and my boyfriend.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join Donna and Eric in the bonds of holy matrimony. Love is a funny thing. People can be friends with each other for a long time and lose touch in an instant. But no matter how many years it takes, true lovers will always find their way back to each other."

I took my boyfriend's hand. He smiled at me.

"Now, for the exchanging of the vows,"

"Donna, I love you so much. I'm so thankful that we found each other again. I vow to keep you with me for the rest of my life. There's no one else that I would rather spend my life with." My dad took my mom's hand and put a ring on it.

"Eric, I've always known that I was going to spend my life with you. Even we when weren't together, I knew that we would be in the future. I can't live without you. I promise that I will be here for you for the rest of our lives."

"By the power invested in me by the state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

They had another one of their magic kisses. Everyone gave them a standing ovation as they walked down the aisle. My entire family was crying, even my grandfather.

At the reception, I danced with Graham. "So, your parents got married,"

"Yeah. The service was beautiful."

"I know, it was. I'm still afraid that you dad is going to hurt me."

"Graham, I can beat my dad at arm wrestling. He can't hurt you."

"Okay, okay. But if we ever break up, his rage might build up and improve his ability to hurt me."

"Do you want to break up with me?"

"No, I don't. I want to be with you for as long as I am lucky enough for you to love me."

I kissed him. "I don't want to make the same mistake that my mom did. I promise that we will spend the rest of our lives together."

He kissed me back. "I promise that I will never hold you back from getting what you truly want." He took my hand. "I promise not to ever let you go."

We danced the night away, consumed with thoughts of the future. Everything was as perfect as it could get. I wanted things to stay this way forever.

A/N: Well, it's done. Thank you guys for all the support. You've given me faith in my writing. I promise that there will be more Eric/Donna and possibly Jackie/Hyde stories in the future.
