Chapter 13
Ella and Sarah walked down the aisle, holding each other's hands and tossing small petals down the aisle as they walked. Then Sabrina walked down, followed by Kelly who had managed to get ready just in time. She was carrying Jacob who was leaning in towards her chest. Jill then appeared with Jessica, after after her, Kris came, led down by her uncle Paul.
Paul removed the veil as he kissed Kris on the cheek, and she walked up onto the altar, where she then stood face to face with her husband to be.
The minister spoke, but Kris didn't listen much. She was staring up at Tommy, his eyes sparkling just as much as her.
"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered together here in the sight of God – and in the face of this company – to join together this man and this woman in holy matrimony, which is commended to be honorable among all men; and therefore – is not by any – to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly – but reverently, discreetly, advisedly and solemnly. Into this holy estate these two persons present now come to be joined. If any person can show just cause why they may not be joined together – let them speak now or forever hold their peace."
At the altar, everyone's attention was turned, with discretion, towards Kelly. She looked peaceful and calm, and tears out of both joy and sadness were streaming down her face. She knew Kris was happy, and that was all that mattered. The priest kept going. Kris and Tommy both said their vows.
"Do you, Thomas Smith, take Kristine Munroe to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"
"I do."
"Do you, Kristine Munroe, take Thomas Smith to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"
"I sure do." Kris smiled happily.
Rings were placed on each other's fingers and Kris realized she was shaking.
"And so, by the power vested in me by the State of Maryland and Almighty God, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Tommy turned towards Kris and grabbed her face in his hands as they embraced each other's lips, kissing passionately, crazy in love. Kris felt herself giggle when she felt Tommy smile during the kiss.
"Let's cut the cake!"
The party was up and going, people were dancing happily, which Kris and Tommy already had did. Jill had been dancing with Damien, to everyone's big surprise, but they all knew how much the two of them actually liked each other. It had killed Jill sending Damien to prison, and Damien had promised himself to be a straight and honest man afterwards.
The sound of one of Tommy's friends calling for the cake made Jill freeze to ice, she excused herself and ran away towards the tables where Kris and Tommy was heading.
"You know, there might have been a slight accident earlier and…" Jill said as she blocked the path towards the table.
"The cake is here!" Kamili exclaimed happily and Kris pushed her way past Jill.
Jill exhaled loudly and Kris sent her weird glances over the shoulder. On the table was a huge and beautiful wedding cake with a man and women up on top of it. Kamili was standing next to the table, next to a woman a little taller than herself. The woman was dressed in a a beige suite, her light brown hair cut short, but long enough to put the bang behind her ears. Everyone gathered up around the table, and as Kelly gathered up next to the table, Kamili waved her over. Kelly walked towards Kamili, and Kamili grabbed her arm and pulled her closer.
"Kelly, this is Aurore Dupont. Aurore, this is Kelly Garrett." Kamili grinned widely before she ran away, leaving the two women standing next to the other.
The two women looked at each other with curious minds. They both stood in silence for a few seconds, having trouble tearing their eyes from each other.
"Kelly! Take some cake!" Kris said, and a second later Kelly found a plate in her hands with a huge piece of cake on it.
"Kelly's friend? You want some?" Kris smiled widely.
"Sure I can have a piece." Aurore smiled as she took the plate from Kris.
Everyone backed off slightly, Kelly and Aurore sat down by one of the tables next to each other.
"Mm, this cake is really good." Kelly said, enjoying it as she put another piece in her mouth.
Aurore smiled towards her, eating her with small pieces at the time.
"Thank you." Aurore giggled and Kelly looked up at her.
"What?"
"I made it."
"You did?"
"Yeah, I'm the pastry chef. Kamili called me because evidentially the twins ate the other cake so I quickly baked one."
"The twins ate the cake?" Kelly said, beginning to giggle to herself. Yeah, she could see that. They were Munroe's.
"That's what Kam said." Aurore smiled.
Ella and Sarah came hurrying to the table, sitting down next and opposite their mother. Ella was carrying both plates and she put the plate next to Sara when Sara had climbed up into the chair next to her mother.
"Hey girls. Are you having fun?" Kelly asked the two girl, and both of them nodded before Sarah immediately dropped a piece of whipped cream onto her dress. Kelly smiled as she wiped it off with her napkin as Sarah kept eating.
"Who are you?" Ella asked with half her mouth filled with cream.
"My name is Aurore." She smiled. "Who are you?"
"I'm Ella."
"Miss Dupont, these are my daughters, Ella and Sarah."
"Aurore please." The woman smiled to Kelly, before turning to the girls. "Nice to meet you girls."
"I like your name." Ella smiled. "Can I call you Rory?"
"Ella…" Kelly said, looking at her with stern eyes.
"It's alright. You can call me Rory."
Ella smiled brightly as she put another huge piece of the cake into her mouth.
"Do you like it?" Aurore smiled and Ella nodded.
"Aurore made it." Kelly smiled, and Ella's mouth jerked open, causing her to drop a piece of cake. "Ella, please!"
Aurore laughed, Ella was amazingly adorable.
"Did you really make it?" Sarah asked and Aurore nodded.
"I really made it. That's my job."
"How cool!"
"Aurore Dupont. French name?" Kelly asked. She couldn't tear her eyes off from this woman. There was something about her.
"Yes, my parents are from France, we moved here when I was three though."
"Okay." Kelly smiled, putting another piece of cake into her mouth.
The day turned into evening and the evening turned into night. All women gathered up for Kris to toss the bouquet before she went off on their honeymoon for a week. Kris smiled as she turned her back towards the gang and the tossed the bouquet towards the circa 30 women standing there. Kelly saw the bouquet coming right towards her, and as a reflex she pulled up her hands and grabbed it.
But she was not the only one who did. Kelly looked at her side when she noticed someone else holding onto the bouquet and she flushed embarrassed when she noticed Aurore holding onto it too. Aurore let go of the bouquet and smiled to Kelly.
"You have it."
Kelly smiled and then looked forward, smiling to Kris who had a huge smile in her face. Anyone in the room could tell Kelly and Aurore liked each other's company. Kamili felt like a proud mother hen as she watched the two of them. She had a feeling the two of them would really go well together, and she'd been trying to set them up for weeks.
"I'm just gonna go and say good bye to Kris and Tommy." Kelly smiled to Aurore as she walked out with Kris.
Kris was already outside, being kissed and hugged by Jill. Sabrina, Tiffany, Julie, Bosley, Sandra, Janet, Kamili and the entire FBI gang were there too, everyone wanting to wish them well on their honeymoon and congratulations. When Jill had hugged and kissed Kris for the fifteenth time, she threw her arms around Tommy.
"You be good to my kid sister now."
"Haven't I always been?"
"You have. So don't start making mistakes now." Jill smiled as she kissed his cheek.
Everyone took their time saying goodbye to everyone, Kelly hugged Kris for a long time before letting go, taking each other's hands.
"Okay, are you sure you three can handle this?" Kris asked.
"Don't worry, everything will be fine, I promise. I'll look after all of them."
"You can't watch all of them yourself Kelly." Kris said sternly.
"Of course I can." Kelly chuckled. "It will not be a problem. I promise. You go now and enjoy Greece, and we'll see each other soon again."
Kris smiled, then hugged Kelly again. Getting into the horse and carriage outside the church and reception hall, the two lovebirds jumped in and drove off.
Jill ran up to Kelly and hugged her, to Kelly's surprise.
"What was that for?"
"Now we're gonna be together for an entire week and it will be awesome!"
