A/N-Guys I am going to break this up. The next two chapters will center around their wedding and honeymoon. Since they are on a cruise it is also their vacation/honeymoon. I don't want to cram everything together so I am going to split it up.
Life in the Grant household was busy. Claire continued to make strides since her surgery. They had not anticipated how much energy she would gain after the surgery. She didn't crawl very long. It was like she was making up for lost time being stuck in a body that wouldn't do what she wanted. Claire was now nine months old, walking, talking, and stealing hearts.
Marissa was now 21 months. Since her parents were always reading briefs, cases, etc... It seemed that Marissa had picked up their habit. She loved to read. Olivia decided to get her a combination of books to read, and e-books. She was a great big sister. When she sat down to read she would get Claire to sit down and read her books.
Martha, Joseph, Gia, and Mia had arrived and settled in nicely. Joseph & Huck got along great. Huck seemed more relaxed since Joseph arrived. He loved Gia & Mia as much as Marissa & Claire. They knew he would protect those girls with everything he had. Claire & Marissa loved Martha.
For the last month Martha had been keeping them all day so that Olivia could catch up from being out with Claire. Also they were working to either close cases before the cruise or make sure that the client didn't need anything until they returned.
They bought Martha a car when she arrived in Vermont so she didn't have to share with Joseph. She made sure to bring the kids by several times a week to see her parents. She came with Olivia when they went to D.C. Tom, Lauren, and Abby had done an outstanding job while she was taking care of Claire. Fitz & Olivia rewarded the entire office with a bonus, but the three of them received a significantly larger bonus for holding down the office. Lauren also helped get their house set up in D.C. She opened up the house when the interior designer they hired came in and furnished and designed the house for the family.
Fitz had been to the house before her, and he told her that she did an outstanding job. He loved the home. It felt like them. She was even happier when she came now that it was furnished. They made sure that the house was child-proofed. While it was modern she wanted it to feel like a family home not a show case home. The designer nailed it. They left gates to put up if needed. Olivia had a room done for Martha who was surprised, but thankful.
Their upcoming nuptials were all that everyone could talk about. When the couple announced the cruise, and their intention for everyone to attend many were shocked but excited. They were even more excited when they learned they would be paid and where they were going.
Olivia was right. Many of them had not even had the pleasure to have such an exotic trip so this was a dream for many of their staff. Harrison was also coming. Dr. Jackie & her family were able to secure time off to come as well as Dr. Bailey.
Olivia had been in contact with the cruise line. She selected a packaged that included a wedding coordinator so she could keep up with everything. Shelly had been wonderful from the first moment they talked.
Fitz & Olivia had applied for their marriage license. Their dad was paying for everything. He would not allow them to pay for a thing. The couple tried to negotiate at first, but it was clear that he wanted to do this. He only had one son. Olivia's dad wasn't alive to pay for the most important day of his princess's life. So they dropped it. He made Olivia promise to get everything that she wanted no matter the cost. She agreed.
In two days they would all be headed to Miami to board for the cruise. Dad had chartered several private jets to get everyone there. Shelly had confirmed their rooms just this morning. Everyone was staying in a suite, but them. Their dad had reserved the Haven for them.
Everyone including Shelly waited for Olivia to have a bridezilla moment, but it never came. Life remained normal for her. She worked, took care of her family, volunteered when she had the time, took Gia to the doctor and treatments when needed, and prepared for the biggest day of her life.
Abby was Olivia's Maid of Honor. Lauren was her bridesmaid. Stephen was Fitz's best man. Tom was his groomsman. Gia & Mia were going to be junior bridesmaids. Claire was going to be the flower girl. They had no boys so Marissa was going to be the ring bearer.
The day before they left for Miami Olivia went to pick up all the gowns. Fitz went and picked up all of the tuxedos.
The night before they were set to leave for Miami Fitz & Olivia were sitting on their porch enjoying a glass of wine.
Fitz asked, "Did you get everything done?
Olivia nodded, "I did. Everything has been checked off and we are ready to go?"
Fitz smiled, "Are you excited or nervous or scared?"
Olivia turned to him, "Honestly I am happy. Normally you can't have your cake and eat it too, but in this case we are. This is the first real vacation with the girls, then we get married, then we have our honeymoon, and finish it up with more vacation time with out family and friends. It can't get any better than that."
Fitz nodded, "You are right. It seems like from the moment that we set a date and location time began to fly. I just hope the last ten days go as fast, because I am ready for all us to be Grants."
Olivia moved closer to Fitz and he held her close, "I know baby and when we get back as Grants Gia will be getting ready for surgery soon. I am so ready for this to all be over for her so she can be a normal child, but I am proud of her for fighting and not giving up. I am grateful that Dr. Bailey agreed to look after her on the cruise. Thank you for helping me get her that gift by the way. Finally, we have the girls turning one and two weeks apart. God, I love those girls."
Fitz kissed her forehead and smiled, "You never have to thank me for supporting you. You know that. When it comes to all four of those girls they complete me in ways I could never have imagined. Single fathers don't get enough credit. Especially single black fathers. Gia & Mia are great. I'm glad that you are in their lives. Single parents can raise excellent children, but I just believe that there are things that mothers bring to the table and things that fathers bring to the table. Being their godmother has helped them in ways that Joseph can't do as well as you as a woman. Then our two. Other than being with you, making a decision to work with you, marrying you, taking those girls in has been one of the best decisions of my life. You know I always knew my parents loved me. They did so much with me. My dad made time for me. Now doing the same with the girls brings everything full circle. I won't be playing soccer or baseball, but I don't care. I love my tea parties with the girls. Marissa reading to me. Watching them both learn how to swim like their mommy. Thank you for giving me our girls."
Olivia felt the tears in her eyes. She knew he loved the girls. It was clear. She remembered the first time she woke up from a nap and found him with a tiara on his head, a scarf around his neck, and lip gloss on his lips her heart melted. He allowed the girls to grow and come into their own. If they got into any sports he would be happy, but she knew it would be their choice.
Olivia caressed his face, "You are the best dad in the world. You know I was thinking for my birthday next year that we try for a baby. If it doesn't work then we can adopt again."
Fitz leaned into her hand, "If you are comfortable with trying then we can. As long as you don't put any pressure on yourself, because having a biological child doesn't make or break us. I have children with you. I want more with you, but whether it is you being pregnant or us adopting another it doesn't matter. Okay..."
Olivia smiled, "Okay. Let's head to bed. Tomorrow is going to be a long day between flying to Miami and boarding the ship."
The next day was busy for everyone. Olivia was worried about getting everyone to the air strip on time, but Jerry had taken care of everything. Cars were sent out to pick everyone up.
Fitz & Olivia were up early going over their checklists one more time to make sure that they remembered everything. They got their wedding folder and made sure they had all the necessary documents.
They went and made sure that they had everything for the girls. They brought out all the bags that had her wedding gown, the dresses for everyone, and the tuxedos for the men. Jerry had sent two cars for them. One to pack up everything for the trip and the other for them.
After getting everything and everyone loaded they made the five-hour flight to Miami. There was another fleet of cars waiting for them to take them to the cruise ship.
Once they were on the ship they were shown to their rooms. Fitz & Olivia were taken to the Haven. They would be staying in a three bedroom garden villa. It included a living room, dining room, private garden with a hot tub, butler, and concierge service.
It was perfect since they had the girls and it was plenty of room for them. During the week that they would be alone for their honeymoon they could be wild and free.
They would be at sea for the next two days, and then they would arrive in Oranjestad, Aruba. That night they explored the ship. They found a Kid's Cafe which was a hit with the girls. There were so many restaurants and dining for them to choose from which excited Olivia because she loved food. They found a kid's club for the children, tennis courts, a bowling alley, there was a pool for the kids, a theater, a casino, spa, and so much more. Everyone was excited. Their dad had paid for an all-inclusive package which is what they wanted so everyone could eat, drink, and do whatever they wanted. Fitz insisted that his dad let them pay for anything extra that was not covered in the package. He finally agreed. The only thing that their guests would pay for is any shopping they did and pictures they wanted.
The next day the couple met with Shelly. They were getting married in Bolongo Bay in eight days. She just wanted to make sure that everything was coming together.
They pulled out their list and Shelly pulled out hers. Shelly confirmed their spa appointments on the day of the wedding.
Shelly showed them the floral for the wedding and reception which they both approved of. Neither was picky they just wanted it to look elegant. Olivia went with a tropical bouquet instead of Ivory roses.
For the ceremony they agreed to go with the traditional wedding song. Once they got back on board for their reception they hired a DJ. They also went over the layout that the sound and lighting technician had come up with. Olivia had decided that she wanted lavender & white as her wedding colors. It was exciting to see their plans come to life as they watched the video that Shelly played. It allowed them to feel what the night would be like.
Shelly confirmed the wait staff, bartenders, and her assistant who would help her on the day of their wedding.
Olivia spared no expense when it came to photography. She wanted to look back on her day for years to come. She wanted them to be able to show their kids the day their parents became one. She wanted an album, photos, and a DVD. She had spent more than ten thousand on photography alone. Fitz agreed with her. He wanted it all. Pictures never got old. They held memories.
Shelly went over the reception details. The couple was happy. Shelly had everything under control. Everything was in place for their day so they went to enjoy time with their family and friends. The first leg of this trip was about them and the girls. So while they were at sea they would spend time with everyone, but when they were at destinations it was about Claire and Marissa.
When they arrived in Aruba they took the girls on a See & Sea tour. They were taken around the island. While they didn't specifically understand what they were looking at they still enjoyed looking at things with their parents. They also went on the National Wonders of Aruba tour. This was really for Marissa. She loved being outdoors. When they went into the garden with the butterflies it was such a magical moment watching her. Her bright brown eyes shining as she tried to catch a butterfly. As the couple recorded it they knew it was just the beginning for them.
That night when they put the girls in bed they went out on their private sundeck, and enjoyed some alone time.
Fitz said, "Thank you for deciding to do this. I didn't know much about cruise weddings, but I'm excited. It is going to be a great day. It is even better by starting off spending time as a family. I think that next year when the girls turn two and three that we should take a Disney Cruise. Maybe bring Gia & Mia. Every child wants to meet a Disney character."
Olivia laughed, "I agree. I was so excited when my dad took me to Disney World and I met Cinderella. I so wanted to be like her when I grew up. My story is so much better than hers. Fitz, I never imagined life could be so wonderful and exciting. Our wedding day feels like it is a big party to celebrate and confirm that we are one. It is why I never stressed too much about it."
Fitz nodded, "I agree Livvie. We are just completing the formalities. You officially becoming a Grant. Nothing can ruin our day."
The couple had decided to wait until the night of their wedding to be intimate again. It gave them something to look forward to. They also wanted to concentrate on their kids, their family, and friends.
Their next stop was Willemstad, Curacao. First they took the girls on Willemstad Trolley Train. Claire loved everything about the train. It was so cute to see her laugh and say "Ma Ma train choo choo." Fitz laughed it was so cute. Next they took them Curacao Sea Aquarium. They all enjoyed the aquarium. Every time they saw something they wanted to see up close they would call Fitz. Claire would say, "Da Da Up Da Da Up". Marissa would say, "Daddy can I see pez?" Olivia captured every moment.
They spent the next day at sea. Shelly wanted everyone to try on their dresses and tuxedos to make sure that everything still fit. She had a seamstress on hand if necessary. She didn't want to wait until the last-minute so everyone tried on their gowns and tuxedos. Everything still fit perfectly. Shelly was relieved to see that, but the day of the wedding anything could happen so she was going to keep her on stand-by just in case.
The next day they arrived in Castries, St. Lucia. They decided to spend the day with the girls on the beach. They were taken to Reduit Beach which is one of the most popular beaches in St. Lucia. The girls helped their mom cover their daddy in sand. Claire kissed her daddy's cheek and said, "Luv u Da Da".
The day before their wedding they were in Basseterre, St Kitts. Fitz could tell that Olivia was getting nervous so he decided they would remain on the ship. They took the girls to the Kid's Club so they could interact with kids their age.
Fitz wanted Olivia to get her mind off tomorrow so he arranged for them to attend the Presumed Murdered Luncheon. Second City teamed up with crime novelist Scott Turow. They enjoyed a nice lunch while trying to solve a crime. It had worked. Olivia became absorbed in the case that she didn't think of anything else. When it was over she smiled. She realized what Fitz had done. He just smiled at her. This is why she was marrying this man tomorrow.
The rest of the day was fun and relaxing. Shelly set up a rehearsal dinner. At the end of the night Fitz gathered the bag he packed. He would stay with his dad. Abby was going to spend the night with Olivia & the girls.
Everyone was up early to get prepared for the wedding. When they arrived in St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands the couple left the ship and went to the court-house to obtain their marriage license. They returned back to the ship to get ready. Olivia, Lauren, Abby, Marta, and Martha got a manicure, pedicure, hair, and make up done. Olivia decided on an up do for her wedding. Olivia loved the bun with side swept bangs. Her make-up was natural.
Everyone could not believe how relaxed and happy Olivia was. Not once had she panicked. She was playing with the girls as if this was a normal day.
Abby decided to ask, "Liv, do you need anything? Are you okay?"
Olivia turned to Abby and smiled, "I'm good Abby. I had a small moment yesterday, but Fitz took care of that. Today I am only confirming what I have known for a long time. I am marrying my soul mate, and every single person that I want is here even those who are here in spirit."
Abby nodded and they continued to get ready. They were set to leave the ship in 90 minutes. Shelly's assistant Melanie was helping them on the ship. She came out to let Olivia know that her bridal party was dressed. Abby & Lauren came out. Olivia could only smile. They were in the Lavender Lux Chiffon dress that she selected. The dress had a sweetheart neckline with covered sequins straps and waist band, and criss cross detail at the back. With their hair and make up they looked even more fabulous than when they tried on their dresses for the first time.
Gia & Mia came out next. They were also in a Lavender Lux Chiffon dress. Their dress had a draped surplice bodice with a matching flower. It was special having their godchildren there. Gia was doing well with the new treatments she was on, and that was something to be excited about.
Now it was time to see her girls. Marta & Martha came out with Claire & Marissa. This time Olivia was unable to hold in her tears. Her girls were in a Lavender Matte Satin dress. It had a jewel neckline and a matching sash.
It was time for Olivia to get dressed. Over in Big Jerry's suite the men were getting ready. Fitz had a surprise for Olivia. He told her that they couldn't get the white tuxedos in time for the wedding. He could tell that she was a little disappointed, but she told him that as long as he was at the end of the aisle that was all that mattered. Truthfully, that shop couldn't get them in. They however recommended him to a neighboring shop who was able to take care of them. He decided to surprise her when she came around and found them in their Joseph & Weiss two-button white tuxedos.
Olivia had just stepped into her gown. It was surreal that the time had come for her to get married. As she looked at herself in the mirror she smiled. If she ever saw Jake again she would have to thank him. He let her go, and now she was with her prince charming.
Olivia stepped out for everyone to see her and they all gasped. Fitz was going to freak when he seen her.
Olivia was in a Trumpet/Mermaid Strapless Court Train Satin Tulle Wedding Gown with a Lavender Lace Sash that had a Crystal Brooch. On her feet were a pair of Sexy Strass 4" Christian Louboutin heels.
It was an emotional moment. To see their friend get everything that she deserved was something that could not be put in words. They quickly composed themselves.
Marta stepped up. Her voice cracking as she spoke, "Fitz's mother would have loved you. She was a wonderful woman. I promised her that I would make sure that the woman Fitz married got these. She knew her son. She said he would wait for the right woman and she was right. Marta put the Vintage 2.50 Sapphire and 2.40 Diamond 18 Caret White Gold Earrings in her ears. This is your something old & something blue. She wanted his wife to have them, and pass them down if you had any girls."
Abby & the girls stepped up. Olivia smiled at her children. Abby said, "Your fiancée took care of your something new. He loves you so much that he couldn't decide on one gift so he told me to get both for you. The first one is a 9 Caret Vintage Tiffany Diamond bracelet. Marissa & Claire gave her the other box which was a Vintage Oval cultured Pearl Drop 2.25 Diamond Bow Necklace."
Olivia kissed her daughters and wiped her eyes.
Martha stepped forward, "You have given me & my family so much. I am glad that today is about you. Your something borrowed is the Vintage hair piece that I wore the day I got married."
Olivia was overwhelmed with the gifts. Once Martha put on her veil with the hair piece it was official. She was a bride.
Melanie came in and told them that their car was ready. They all left and traveled to the ceremony site. Olivia didn't want anything special for their ceremony. There were lavender bows on the chairs, and flowers at the end. They were getting married by the water so the back drop was a beauty in itself.
They arrived and ten minutes later they were getting started. Olivia's door opened and there was Big Jerry.
Olivia smiled, "Dad"
Jerry gasped as Olivia got out of the car. He knew she would look like an angel, but it took his breath away.
Jerry's voice cracked, "The last time a bride looked this beautiful. It was me that was marrying her. Sweetie, you look stunning."
Olivia turned away trying to keep the tears at bay, "Thanks dad"
Jerry kissed her forehead, "Ready"
Olivia nodded, "More than Ready"
The music played and they came around the corner. When Olivia seen Fitz the tears began to fall. Not only because he was sexist man ever, but they were in white tuxedo's. Fitz tried to imagine this moment. It was nothing compared to the real thing. He didn't try to keep his tears at bay. Watching the couple was something that was hard to describe. The love they had for each other was clear, and you felt it.
Big Jerry gave Olivia to Fitz and the ceremony began.
We gather here on this beautiful day to celebrate the creation of a new marriage. In marriage, two individuals unite their lives irrevocably. They vow to nourish each other in spirit, mind, and body. Marriage thereby gives to us a sense of security so we may manage the sorrow and celebrate the joy that life brings. When two individuals unify their lives, they therefore enter a beautiful, yet solemn commitment to each other.
Into this union Fitzgerald & Olivia come now to be joined.
Please join hands as a signs of your commitment.
Marriage is an honorable bond; it is a privilege to be entered into the holy state of matrimony. Much thought and preparation should have guided you to the decision to marry. You should know each others faults and strengths well. You should set each other free to fully be yourselves. Your devotion to one another should bestow upon you more courage to face all the difficulties life brings.
Indeed, always remember that the wisest couples have hope. They believe in the power of loving marriages. Arguments and obstacles will breach times of great happiness. But all moments and events are conduits to learning more about the world, oneself, and each other. In marriage, you should therefore become more and more affectionate, knowledgeable, and committed as you age apart and together.
Marriage is indeed about feeling the joyous, fluttering thrill you feel for one another. But it also has a deeper meaning. It is about offering unconditional sympathy, understanding, and care. It is about cultivating love and wisdom, so they may be perched on your shoulders from this day forward. It is about trying to defer to one another, so that peace reigns in your home.
Do you vow to be a trustworthy, loving, warm, and generous life-long partner in marriage to the amazing person standing by your side for as long as you shall live?
May true wisdom be whispered as soft, flowing waves into your minds and hearts. May wisdom and love bestow upon you a sense of hope and ambition may they be muses to inspire in you great works and to remain always loving. May you be sheltered from the storms of change. May you be protected from feeling harm, and may all your fears be soothed. May you help each other so you may learn from mistakes.
Material things are neither sacred in themselves nor necessary to seal a marriage. They will warm only in as much as the giver and receiver bring forth their full meaning.
May these rings always gently yet regularly remind you to strive to become your partners most reliable, admired, and adored companion. Just as love need not be ornate to be timeless and lovely, these rings are beautiful in their simplicity and overall purpose. May you always care for each other as individuals by endowing one another with trustworthiness, honesty, comfort, and kindness. The couple will now exchange vows that they have written for each other.
Fitz: When I walked into the cancer center and saw you sitting in the corner crying my heart broke. My only thought was that you were too beautiful to be sad. When I looked into your eyes I knew you were the one. It was fate. You have always been my everything. It was scary to think that I might not get forever with you, but God said otherwise and I will never take that for granted. With you I have accomplished more than I ever dreamed. I have children because of you. I am a better man because of you. As long as I have you by my side there is nothing that I can't accomplish. I love you with everything I have. I can't wait to continue this journey with you.
Olivia: The worst time in my life became the best time in my life. I was dumped, had nowhere to go, and living with breast cancer. Then you show up and in the blink of an eye my whole life change. Not only did I find my soul mate, but he gave me a family and friends who love me. Even when you didn't know what the future held you stood by me. When I looked and felt my worst you still told me I was beautiful. When I began to work at the firm you let me shine. You have given me so much a chance to live life on my own terms, a dad, friends, family, and children. It amazes me that we have so much more we can accomplish, but with you I know it is possible. I can never do better. Who I am is always enough for you. For that I say thank you, I love you, and I can't wait to see what the future holds.
Across time and place, you have united your lives. If you ever feel uncertain or frightened, all you need do is to call for one another and allow the spirits of love and wisdom to help you find one another and bring you peace. Take comfort in the knowledge that troubles and misunderstandings will surely come your way, but you will be able to rely on each other for unreserved care, protection, and guidance.
Give freely to each other sensitive support to help you gracefully face all the hardships you may encounter. Recognize how beauty radiates through each others words, acts, and hearts. Love and wisdom have touched you both, joined you together, and your shared love must be cherished just as your precious, individual gifts are to be treasured.
United by love, you become more complete and thus enter a more hallowed and privileged state of being. You belong to each other from this day onwards. Appreciate your bond. Keep only onto one another.
I now pronounce you to be married...Please kiss! For the first time I present to you Mr. & Mrs. Fitzgerald Grant.
It was surreal to know that they were married. They looked at their rings and each other to know it was real. They were in their own world until they heard the girls call them.
When Fitz saw the girls it was another emotional moment. He never expected to have children before they were married so this was an added bonus for him seeing his three girls look so beautiful.
Olivia kissed her husband again, "I thought you were unable to get white tuxedos."
Fitz smiled, "Well I couldn't at the place we found, but they found someone who could get them to us in time. So I decided to surprise you."
Olivia laughed, "Well done. You look handsome."
Fitz kissed his wife again, "Mrs. Grant I have no words to describe how you look. Mom's earrings look spectacular on you. I tried to imagine what you would look like, and the real thing was so much better."
Olivia blushed, "Thank you. The necklace and the bracelet. You treat me like a queen."
Fitz nodded, "As I should. You are my wife and that will never change."
The photographer came over and grabbed some pictures before they headed back over to their reception where he was going to take more.
When they got back to the ship their guest were taken to where their reception was being held. There was an open bar. They had selected Lobster medallions, Crab rolls, California rolls, Smoked Duck Skewers, Lamb Rolls, and Barbecue Pork Loin for hors d'oeuvre.
They also had a vegetable tray, cheese and fruit platter, and shrimp platter going around. They did not want the children starving while they were taking pictures.
The DJ introduced the newlywed couple to fanfare. Fitz picked out the song for their first dance. Before the song came on he whispered, "It is how I feel about you and whether you admit it or not it is your favorite movie."
Olivia heard the music and tears came to her eyes as the song began and they danced only concentrating on each other.
If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way
And I... will always love you, ooh
Will always love you
You
My darling, you...
Mmm-mm
Bittersweet memories –
That is all I'm taking with me.
So good-bye.
Please don't cry:
We both know I'm not what you, you need
And I... will always love you
I... will always love you
You, ooh
[Instrumental / Sax solo]
I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love
And I... will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I will always love you
I, I will always love you.
You.
Darling, I love you.
I'll always...
I'll always love you.
Ooh
Ooh
When the song was finished Olivia looked at her husband and smiled, "I will always love you too. You are right The Bodyguard is probably my favorite movie."
He hugged her and they laughed. Fitz insisted that they do a Daddy-Daughter dance. He had the D.J. play "Dance with my Father" by Luther Vandross.
When the song was over there was not a dry eye in the room. Fitz could not be any happier for his wife. He knew she was treasure that moment, and although they both wished it was her dad they accepted that Jerry was a great fill-in.
Olivia wanted a sit down meal. So after the dances everyone made it to their seats.
The dinner menu consisted of:
Appetizer-Shrimp Mango Ceviche or Baked Portobello Mushroom
Soup: Cream of Chicken or Seafood Tomato Soup
Entrée: Grilled Beef Tenderloin, Pan-Seared Snapper, or Chicken Breast filled with vegetables.
Desert: Chocolate Caramel Mousse Dome or Honey Creme Brulee
After dinner it was an evening of fun. They laughed and danced the night away with their family and friends.
Before the night ended they cut their cake. They went with the Bridal Bliss design. It was four layers. They alternated layers with vanilla and strawberry. They lovingly fed each other. It was a great moment.
The couple went to spend some time with their girls. They were going to spend the next eight days between their Papa, Abby, and Martha.
This next leg of the cruise was their honeymoon.
Olivia was getting tired. She was sitting in her husband's lap.
Fitz kissed her head, "Mrs. Grant you ready to get out of here. I think we could use some sleep and then we can officially began our honeymoon tomorrow since we are at sea for the next two days we can christen the haven."
Olivia laughed, "See that is why you are my husband. You are brilliant. I promise after some sleep I will be ready to consummate this marriage four times over."
Fitz nodded, "Ditto. Let's say good-bye and I will carry you to our room"
Olivia nodded. They said their good-byes. They thanked everyone. Abby told them that she and Lauren would handle the gifts.
As promised Fitz carried his wife to their room. They crossed over the threshold into their room. Fitz sat her on the bed. He was looking at her with a shocked expression.
Fitz said, "I still can't believe it. We are complete. We are all Grants."
Olivia smiled, "We are and I have never been happier than I am right now to officially be Mrs. Grant."
Fitz smiled. He leaned down and kissed his wife with everything that he had and said, "Ditto"
A/N-So they are officially married. When I pick up it will be their honeymoon time. Hope you enjoyed it. I have posted links for her wedding dress and the house in D.C.
