This is the last but one chapter of this story. But I'm definitely going to revisit these two in one shots in the future. I've grown attatched to them :)
Please review and enjoy!
"You gotta be shittin' me."Mac said as an look of utter incredulity spread across his face. Lucy buried her giggle into his shoulder and wrapped her arms around his middle tightly. Marshall, Robbie, Zoe and Melissa were stood around Mac's truck, each one of them grinning from ear to ear and looking very pleased with their work. His beloved vehicle was festooned with a huge white ribbon and the words "JUST MARRIED!"written in what looked like lipstick was written in big letters across the back window of the cab.
"Can't believe they pussied up my truck!"Lucy punched him playfully in the arm as while she laughed.
"I think it's it's sweet. Kind of weird though isn't it? This whole being married thing."
"Yeah, It's pretty weird."
"Good weird though."
"Real good."he said as he smiled down at her.
Maybe it was a cliché to say that this had been the biggest day of her life, but it really had been. It had been small. Just Him and her, the boys, Melissa, Nick and Zoe in the courthouse. Small but perfect. The night before Melissa had insisted she stay over at their house because of all the "the groom shouldn't see the bride before the wedding"thing. Lucy had begrudgingly agreed because even though neither she nor Mac wanted to be away from each other right now, she couldn't bring herself to spoil the utterly fabulous time Melissa had been having, getting into and organising everything since they announced they were engaged. He'd called her about 8:30pm that night and suggested phone sex, which he knew very well she could never resist, considering she once told him that if there was a ever a man with a voice fit for such a thing, he was it. Since then he'd fully taken advantage of the situation. And also used for his own source of amusement by sometimes calling her when he knew she'd be in the middle of the store and proceed to tell her exactly what he wanted to do to her when she got home. And when she did, she'd berate him for a bit then let him do exactly what he'd described to her down the phone. This time however he'd been thwarted by Melissa sneaking up behind her and snatching the phone out of her hand. Lucy giggled as Melissa told him that it wouldn't kill him to spend his last night as a single man celibate. Lucy knew right away that Mac would try to convince her that it in fact would.
The next day Lucy wore a simple white summer dress with little red flowers on it. Melissa had put a few soft curls into her hair and gave her a small bouquet made from flowers from her own garden.
Mac, Robbie and Marshall were already there. The minute he set eyes on her he walked over and took her by the waist, and pressed his lips firmly against hers. Immediately Lucy lost herself in him. That sent that was him, the one that still made her giddy. That was when Melissa did her thing again.
"Put her down you'll mess up her make up!"she fussed. Reluctantly they parted at the mouth but kept their foreheads pressed together.
"Gonna mess it up good later." he said only loud enough for Lucy to hear, which made her smile.
"Next time you kiss me I'll be your wife."Mac brushed the tip of his nose against hers before he spoke.
"Next time we..."Lucy smiled again but quickly put her index finger against his lips to stop him, knowing exactly what was coming "...I'll be your husband."
"Hmm do you have any idea how good that sounds?"
"Yeah?"
"Well you remember what it was like when we moved into together?" she waited a few seconds for the little smirk of recognition to spread across his lips before she continued "I think I like this more."he raised his eyebrows and looked at her for a few seconds.
"Get your ass in there girl and lets get married."she giggled as he took her by the hand and pulled her with him.
"They're washin' this shit off later!"Mac grumbled as he parked the truck in the lot of the bar. Lucy rolled her eyes and smiled to herself. She knew deep down he didn't really mind that they'd decorated his truck. She'd seen the tiny smile at the corner of his mouth, especially when he saw the 'Just Married' on the back window. Just then the other two cars carrying the rest of the wedding party pulled alongside them.
"You sure you don't wanna go home? Just for a while. We can catch up with these guys later." Lucy turned to him and crooked a disapproving eyebrow, again knowing exactly what he was getting at.
"You really want to get this marriage consummated huh?"
"Baby I could consummate you all night right now."she laughed and slapped him across the knee.
As a kind of a wedding present, Walter had let them have the place to themselves until later in the evening when he'd open it up as normal. He just left them with the usual warnings about leaving him a bar to actually open and maybe some alcohol left to sell. And by the time he was ready to open the place up to the usual's Melissa had had more than her fair share of Walter's stock. So much so that she was more than ready to go home. The boys had tipped far far too many shots down her throat and even though Lucy has tried to intervene and tell her maybe she should slow down, Melissa was insistent that she could take it. She couldn't. She stood hugging Lucy telling her how much she loved her and loved Mac and was how she was so happy for them. Lucy held onto her cousin until Nick brought the car up to the front and the two of them put her in the front seat. Lucy told Nick she'd call tomorrow and fill in all the things Melissa wouldn't be able to remember in the morning.
The rest of them stuck it out for a few more hours, but as the night drew on Mac's idea of getting home was sounding more and more appealing, and when she let him know this, he didn't exactly argue.
It was just after 11pm when Mac carried Lucy over the threshold for the first time as a married couple. Of course, he put his own Mac spin on it and carried her in over over his shoulder, fireman style. Inside, he dropped her in a very unladylike fashion, directly onto her butt on the sofa before heading off to the kitchen to get the bottle of Jack he'd brought especially for tonight, the one that he'd decided was gonna be drunk in their bedroom, ideally whilst wearing very little clothing.
"You know!"he heard her yell.
"What!" he said removing the top and walking back into the other room, where she was sprawled oh so very invitingly across the sofa. "I may not have been the most traditional bride today but I stuck with one or two of them."
"Like what?"he said as he settled down on the coffee table in front of her,
"Well, Mel leant me these earrings she's had since she was 17. So, something borrowed. Then I thought I'd go with something blue."with that she slowly lifted her leg and straightened it, while at the same time lifting the hem of her dress to reveal the lacy little blue garter, just around the top of her thigh. Not long after that, the giggles she'd dissolved into when she saw his mouth fall into a perfect 'O' shape rapidly turned into squeals as Mac chased her to the bedroom.
