This is the last chapter of this story. It's pretty long for me. I would do a sequel if enough people want me to. I did it with two other stories. "Transference" and "Sometimes Love Isn't Enough." SO let me know. :) xoxoxoxox Krissy
The day they got married was warm and beautiful and perfect, the bride wore a light pink dress, tea length and the groom wore a grey suit and tie. They both lost the fancy clothes right after and changed into jeans as soon as it was over.
It was a simple ceremony at city hall, with friends and family and later they all would go back to the house for a small party.
Juliet's parents were there from Florida, and beaming at the not so surprising turn of events. This was the boy they had loved since he was ten years old. The sweet child that thanked them twenty times for every nice thing they ever did for him. The boy who never had a birthday cake until he met them.
He was the man they wanted for their daughter.
Marcy made the coffee mocha cake and they put a bride and groom on top. They decorated the house and had tables set up out on the deck. It was going to be a simple thing, but perfect for them.
Bella wore a matching pink dress to Juliet's and Emily was all in pink too. She was quiet during the ceremony, as if she knew it was a special occasion. Juliet and Daryl both waved to Emily as she sat with Andrea during the ceremony and she waved back with her little hands.
Daryl would adopt her the next week, all the papers were ready and then her last name would be Dixon too.
With Merle and Bella beside them they pledged themselves to each other forever, and it was a long time coming for everyone. It would be forever; they were both completely sure of it. It just took them a little while to get there.
This would be the first and last marriage for both of them and as they stood there Daryl whispered to Juliet. "Are you sure you don't want to get to know me better?" and she grinned a wide and sweet grin at him.
"I think I know you just fine." She replied.
There would be no more fights over jealousy, they sat up that morning after their fight and talked over all of that. There would be more fights they were sure, but they agreed to never let them get past a certain point and they pledged never to sleep alone.
With a lot of help they had planned and executed this wedding in two weeks, not for any hurry because everyone knew she was pregnant. Once it was confirmed they called everyone they knew anyway, bursting with the news.
She and Andrea would be pregnant together, at least for a while until Andrea delivered the twins who were sure to come early, as most multiples did. They were boys, and Dixon boys were an entity unto their own. Andrea would be a busy lady for more than a few years with them.
Daryl and Juliet's baby was due in April, conceived it seemed somewhere during the first week they slept together.
Daryl took her hand after he made his joke and they turned to the Mayor of the town who was officiating.
"You two ready." He asked and the both answered yes readily.
In the end they just couldn't wait once they decided and it was such a long time coming that they didn't see any reason to delay it.
Their wedding vows came from 'Corpse Bride' a movie they had watched over and over as kids in the very living room they would be having their party in later that day.
They had seen every Tim Burton movie made when they were younger and loved them all. As children Daryl had teased her on more than one occasion about these very words they were about to say to each other. So many words between them through the years floated around them as they stood together.
I can't wait to fall in love.
I hope I never fall in love.
Someday little brother kissing her is all you'll be able to think about.
The vows were perfect though, for them and he'd agreed readily to her request, and he had been half expecting it anyway.
They would lay on the floor watching the movie and Juliet would say those were going to be her wedding vows someday. Daryl would laugh and tease her never knowing that one day it would be him saying those words to her.
"With this hand I will lift your sorrows.
Your cup will never be empty for I will be your wine
With this candle I will light your way in the darkness
With this ring I will ask you to be mine."
Then he slipped the ring on her finger and she repeated the same words back to him, slipping a matching ring on his finger.
The End
Thoughts?
