Chapter 14: I do

Colleen sighed sitting holding a bag of ice against Tucker's face. He smiled at her.

"What?" She said.

"You're totally loving this," He smirked.

"I am not," She said shocked, "I'm really angry at him. Ruining Julie's wedding pictures like this."

"Not for punching me?" He said. "You're angry because of the pictures."

"You deserved it," She sighed, "I can't believe you didn't tell me he was in love with me." She shook her head. "I'm mad at you too, just less so."

"Col, be fair," He whispered. "If you wanted Brian, you'd be with him." She looked away. "Maybe I'm in love with you."

"Right," She snorted, "And between bopping Buffy and Candy you can make time to build a life with me."

"Why do you always have to me moving towards something O'Malley?" He said, "Why can't you just accept that somethings are just good? You and me, that's good, maybe it's not going anywhere, but maybe it doesn't need to."

"What am I going to do about you Tucker?" She whispered.

"Colleen, Tucker," Carla ran in, "They want to start, you two aren't doing it or…whoa! What happened to you?"

"Brian found out about us," Colleen said standing up, "Ready?"

"Yeah," Tucker said, "Hi Carla."

"Hi Tucker," Carla laughed and handed Colleen her bouquet. "Get to the front, and your new little family addition is eating your dinner."

"Have I told you how lovely you look Carla?" Tucker said. Carla nodded and pointed.

"He is so lucky that Julie's not that into appearances," Carla shook her head. "If it had been Scooter with a black eye when he was Rick's best man, Connie would have thrown a fit."

"Don't I know it," Colleen straightened her dress. "I have two guys who I was perfectly happy to be friends with sexual tension with in love with me."

"Oh sweetie," Carla said, "Please don't talk to me about love triangles."

Julie stood at the end of the aisle with her father on her arm. She smiled seeing Dean at the end. She was doing this. She was finally getting married. She watched as her friends each filed down the aisle. Connie winked at Rick and Claire sitting (on the bride's side.) Rick made the baby wave and she giggled. Colleen swallowed and stepped as lightly as she could, faking a smile. She avoided Scooter's eyeline, and especially trying to avoid the glare that Delia was sending at her. Carla imagined herself blissfully walking on her own wedding day, which she now knew was only a few months away now. Finally Julie reached the end, kissed her father on the cheek and stood up across from Dean.

"Hi," He whispered.

"Hi," She laughed.

"Are you ready?" He said. She nodded.

"I've always been ready." She smiled. She barely heard the minister talking, until they took their vows, and even then she felt like she was on another planet. She didn't wake up until Dean pulled her close and kissed her. "We did it." She whispered.

"You're a Portman now," He smiled, "Ready to meet the other new Portman?"

"I know Cameron pretty well by now," She laughed and looked at him.

"I don't exactly mean Cameron," He said. "Um, I'll explain later."

"Whatever," She giggled, "We're married."

"Hi," Tara walked over to where Brian was sitting.

"Hi," He smiled at her. "Do you want a drink?"

"Really, you people are having a lot of trouble grasping this whole I'm 17 concept," She shook her head.

"I was drink most of the year that I was 17," Brian looked at her. "If you're a goody goody, I can't really believe that you share DNA with Tuck and Dean."

"Do you know them well?" She asked.

"I thought I did," He sniffed and downed the rest of his drink. She nodded. "Tucker's trouble, but he means well. Dean is," He smiled, "Dean's the kind of man I want to be. He's completely dedicated to Julie."

"The way you want to be to that Colleen girl," She nodded. He shrugged. "It was a nice wedding."

"Tara?" Julie walked over. The young girl turned around. "Hi, my husband just filled me in."

"You just wanted an excuse to say 'my husband.'" Brian scoffed.

"I'm not talking to you," Julie said, he looked at her. "No one thinks that Tucker deserves a punch in the face every once in a while more than me, but you couldn't wait until after the ceremony?" Brian shrugged. "Anyway, come meet everyone Tara. Did anyone tell you that you're going to be an aunt?"

"You're pregnant?" Tara said. Julie nodded. "Oh my God, that is so cool!"

"I think it's pretty cool too," Julie said as they bounced away, "Enjoy your scotch Brian."

Colleen sat at a table swishing champagne around in her glass. She let her toes run across the sand, hearing the gentle waltz back beat of the music that was playing, one, two, three, one, two, three.

"Hi," She looked up and saw Scooter standing there.

"Hi," She whispered.

"You're dancing under the table," He smiled and sat down, "You can't help it with a waltz."

"Shouldn't you be with your fiancée?" She asked. He sighed. "Congratulations by the way."

"How is everything with Brian? Or Tucker? Or," He stopped, "Who are you sleeping with right now?"

"Oh that's funny," She nodded. "So tell me," She leaned towards him. "Did it hurt today? Watching her marry someone else?"

"Don't," He shook his head.

"She's having his child," She whispered, meanly, "Julie Gaffney, your Julie, is spending the rest of her life with Dean Portman, not with you. It's over, doesn't that just burn you up inside?"

"Tell me Col," He burned a stare into her, "Does your flexibility make Tucker forget that just like his brother he's picking up my sloppy seconds?" He stood up and walked away. She downed the rest of her drink and stood up and followed him. "What?" He turned and looked at her.

"Look around," She whispered. "Where are we? We can be drunk and mean anywhere else but not here, not on this beach please?" He kissed her. "That's still one of the most amazing nights of my life Scooter."

"Mine too," He smiled.

"Scooter please don't marry her," She whispered. He looked at her. "You'll be miserable for your whole life. Don't marry her because you're afraid you'll end up alone. Find someone who deserves you."

"I did," He whispered, "She didn't want it." She put her hand against his face. "I love you Colleen."

"I love you too," She said. "I wish I was ready for what you want. I really do."

Julie lay in bed next to Dean that night after everyone had left. He touched her face gently.

"I love you so much," She whispered. He kissed her. "Oh Dean."

"Is it everything you've ever wanted?" He asked, his voice low and husky.

"You're all I've ever wanted." She kissed him and he rolled on top of her.

"I love you Cat," He whispered. She smiled happily, as her husband made love to her for the first time.
