*Thank-you for the reviews on the last chapter. They were greatly appreciated. Thank-you all so much*
"Are you sure you want to do this tomorrow?" asks Seth as we are laying our hotel room on Christmas night the day before we are supposed to get married. We chose to spend Christmas in San Diego just Jonah, Seth, Seth's brother and my sister Kaylee so that they could be present for our wedding the next day. I can't complain. It was a very low-key Christmas for us. Jonah got everything he asked for except a puppy but that was waiting for us when we return back to Tampa. Santa left him a note telling him had one last gift for him but he wouldn't get it until he returned home. Jonah couldn't wait to find out what it was. Seth and I were tangled up in our hotel bed as Jonah slept peacefully in the next bed.
"I'm 100% sure I want to do this tomorrow," I smile as I play with his black and blonde hair. "Are you sure you want to do this tomorrow?"
"I'm ready," he smiles making me smile. "I'm ready to make you my wife. Is your sister going to keep Jonah tomorrow night so we can celebrate our marriage and start on the next chapter of our lives by adding to our family?"
"Yeah Kaylee is going to keep him. And remember we're not really trying to add to our family but we aren't preventing either. It's just whatever happens happens," I smile, "but if I inherit my mama's and my dad's fertility we're going to have a lot of kids. My dad has a lot of kids he has like 5 kids with other women and he has 7 kids with my mom 4 living and 3 angel babies. Granted my brother Sean was through artificial insemination to help out his ex-wife he still has a child with her then my mom has one with another man. If I inherit their fertility we are in a lot of trouble."
"Wow," he says playing with my hair. "You grew up in a big home didn't you?"
"You could say that," I smile, "but I loved having all those brothers and sisters. I love them all Josiah and I were close but Kaylee and I were closer. Chelsea and Athena were closer to each other even though she was so much older than Chelsea they had a bond I would have died to have with Athena but by the time I came Athena had graduated, gone to college and had kids of her own."
"So Ben isn't your dad's kid?"
"No his dad was some man that lived in New York that my mom was with when my parents separated for a short time and then they conceived Ben. They kept it a secret so that they could keep Ben safe. Ben knows my dad as his but he also knows that this guy from New York is his dad but by the time he found out it was too late because he had died saving my mom in a grocery store parking lot. He's the reason my mom has her domestic violence shelter. He left her a lot of money and she used it to open it up. She wanted to help women that went through the same thing she went through with my brother in law Tony who is also dead because he went against his father. He changed his life and he ended up dead. I think that's another reason my parents sent me out to Florida so that I could start new and be safe from the people I was going against. I understand that now but I didn't before. I guess my mom and dad learned that when you go against a bunch of thugs and people like Kris you end up dead. They didn't want that for me."
"And it will never happen because Kris is away for the rest of his life and you never have to worry about him again. You have a good life now and I am going to make sure you have the best life you deserve. I'm proud of you, J."
"Thanks, Baby," I say with a smile. "I'm glad to be free even Jonah is free but you do know when he gets older if he asks about his father I'm going to tell him and if he chooses to have a relationship with him I'm not going to steer him away. I know he considers you his dad but one day he's going to know the truth. Are you okay with that?"
"I guess," he says. "I mean I thought it would best if he didn't know about Kris and always thought about me as his father but it's up to Jonah and what he wants I guess."
"Don't be sad," I say as I kiss his pouty lips. "You're always going to be his dad no matter what. He's always going to know how much you love him and how you stepped up even when you didn't have to. As far as I am concerned you are his dad Kris is just a thug that's rotting the rest of his life in jail where he deserves to be."
"I couldn't agree more. Are you nervous about tomorrow?"
"Just a little but isn't it the things that scare us the things that turn out to be the best thing in our lives? You have to take risks and you have to do what you fear. I'm nervous but at the end of it all I am going to be Mrs. Jordyn Rollins and to me that means a lot. I love you, Baby."
"I love you too," he says before he kisses my lips. "We should get some rest tomorrow is going to be a big day for both of us but do you feel bad that we didn't include Roman and Tayla in this?"
"Yes and no, they are dealing with their own drama. They aren't even together right now. Tay is involved with Dean and Roman is moping around beating himself up. I want no negativity at my wedding. I'm not having a big wedding by any means but I still want it to be a positive event. I'm almost scared to put Tay and Roman in the same room anymore let alone at our wedding."
"I agree," he says. "I think we made a good choice."
"Me too but you're right tomorrow is a long day so I am going to get some rest. Goodnight, Baby."
"Goodnight," he says before he kisses my forehead. I close my eyes and drift off to sleep to take me into the day that will forever change my life and will be one of the best days of my life.
SETH's POINT OF VIEW:
"You're not backing out now are you?" asks my brother as I am getting ready for the wedding just daydreaming at how beautiful Jordyn is going to look when she walks down the aisle with Jonah. "You still have time. Are you sure you want to marry Jordyn?"
"I have never wanted anything more," I say as I straighten my black tie. "I can't wait to make Jordyn Mrs. Rollins and spend the rest of my life with her."
"Remember she is only 18 years old," says Brandon. "She's still young she hasn't really had a chance to live her life. I think it's too soon for her to get married."
"I think she's fine," I say as I put on my black jacket to my black tuxedo. "How do I look?"
"You look good. Are you taking a honeymoon?" he asks.
"Not yet. I have to be back to work the day after tomorrow. We're going to wait until school is out for the summer before we go on a honeymoon."
"I see," he says. "I'm happy for you, Man," he places his hand on my shoulder. "I never thought I would see my brother getting married. I'm happy for you, I am happy that you found someone that will accept your crazy ass and your straight edge lifestyle."
"Jordyn is just as straight edge as me well now at least. We can be straight edge together. I love her, Bran. I never loved anyone as much as I love her. This has been a long time coming the first time I saw her I knew she was going to be my wife. I had to wait to get here but we finally made it. I'm ready for my future with her and Jonah. I hope to have a little baby with her whenever the timing is right. I'm ready to live the rest of my life with her and love her more and more each day. I can't wait until after the ceremony and she's my wife."
"I'm sure," he says. "Are you ready to make your way to the beach now? It's almost 3 and it's supposed to start at 3."
"If you think that Jordyn will be ready by 3 you're mistaken," I say with a smile. "It takes her a while to get herself together. I'm always waiting for her."
"And you're going to spend the rest of your life doing so," he says with a smile. "Let's go!" he says to me and I take a deep breath and make my way to the door with Brandon. "By the way what's up with her sister? What's her name? Kaylee?"
"Yeah what about her?" I ask.
"Is she single or in a relationship?" he asks.
"I don't know. I can find out for you. I think she's single she's a nice girl, Brandon. She's in college to be a teacher and she's very sweet. She's quiet compared to Jordyn and Chelsea. Are you interested in my wife's sister?"
"Maybe," he says with a smile.
"I'll see what I can do," I smile as we make our way to the beach.
Of course when we arrive Jordyn, Kaylee and Jonah are nowhere to be found. I run into the priest that's marrying us. I don't really believe in God but I know it means a lot for Jordyn if a priest marries us so I didn't fight it. I just don't want a lot of God talk or Bible talk. We discussed this at rehearsal the night before. We're stating our own vows and we're having a contemporary wedding. The priest shakes my hand and I look around everything looks beautiful. The Pacific Ocean behind us as the priest stands behind an arch with magenta tropical flowers on it. There's a white blanketed aisle with the same magenta flowers on each side. There's a small podium with three different colors of sand; purple, black and white for us to pour as a family to become one. I stand nervously waiting for my bride and wait for the wedding to finally start. I comb my fingers through my blonde and black hair as I wait for Kaylee to appear with Jonah and Jordyn. I feel my palms start to sweat and my stomach twist in knots as I stand under the perfectly blue sky on a day that's not so warm but not so cold either. It is just right for our wedding day. Brandon clears his throat as Kaylee appears. "It's time, Brother," he says to me as he pats me on the shoulder. He walks to meet Kaylee at the end of the beautiful white aisle. I take a deep breath as I wait. The soft music begins to play as Kaylee and Brandon make their way down the aisle, Kaylee holding a bouquet of magenta flowers in her hand. They make their way to the arch and split off onto two sides.
I take in a deep breath as I wait to see my bride. My breath catches in my throat as she and Jonah appear at the end of the walk way. She looks beautiful; breathtakingly beautiful. Tears fill my eyes as she makes her way down the aisle. Jonah dressed in a black tux with a magenta tie and his curly brown hair up in a little man bun holding his mama's hand as they make their way down the aisle. Jordyn looks perfect in her dress. It's made of re-embroidered lace, satin and net. The net falling over the train of her dress, the straps to her dress made of sheer scoop into a low back neckline exposing her back. She has her curly hair pulled up in into a bun with a small veil on her head. Her dark eyes meet mine and tears just fall from my eyes. She's perfect. She carries a bouquet of magenta and black flowers and smiles at me as she walks with Jonah. I let out soft sobs as she makes her way to me, to our future together. Brandon places his hand on my shoulder and says, "she's beautiful, bro. Congratulations."
"The most beautiful," I whisper back as she meets me at the arch. "You look beautiful," I say as I look at her with tears in my eyes.
"Thank-you," she says with a soft smile.
"Who here gives this woman to this man?" asks the priest.
"I do," says Jonah making me smile. He lets go of Jordyn's hand and places her other hand into mine before he joins his aunt Kaylee.
"Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today on this beautiful winter day to join Seth Rollins and Jordyn Neveah Bautista in Holy Matrimony. Marriage is a commitment between one man and one woman. It is to join them as one in the eyes of God or whatever they may believe, to promise oneself to the other for an eternity. Seth and Jordyn have decided to take this next step in their relationship to share the special moments of their future together, to spend their lives together from now until the day they shall perish from this earth. Seth and Jordyn have chosen to state their own vows to one another. Seth, please face Jordyn and state your vows to her."
I turn and face Jordyn taking both of her hands into mine. I look into her dark brown eyes through my blurred vision. The sight of her brings tears to my eyes and a lump in my throat. "Jordyn, you came into my life through the existence of mutual friends. I knew the moment I saw you that one day you and I would be married, that one day you would be my wife. Being too young at the time we formed a beautiful friendship together. We hung out together a lot more than the average man and woman do. I got to know you and you got to know me and when you were old enough and ready we took our friendship to the next level, we formed our relationship. My heart was already yours. I fell in love you the moment I met you and fell in love with you more and more each day since. You're everything to me and while I know your past and everything you been through in the past, I promise to be your best friend, love you to no end and be the man you have always deserved. I promise to give my life solely to you and give you my heart the rest of my life. I promise to love you and no one else. I promise to take care of Jonah and you the rest of my life. I promise to support you and love you through whatever. I promise to respect you and honor you. I promise to remain faithful to you and only you. I promise to honor my vows to you and forsake all others. I promise to love you this day and the rest of my life, falling in love with you more and more each day. I promise to be yours until eternity. You came into my life like a hurricane. You wrecked my whole world the moment I saw you and you blew me away with your beauty and your intelligence. You have been one of the best things to happen to me. I promise to never stop feeling that way even when we're older have more children of our own I promise I will love you like I did the moment I first saw you and love you more each day. I love you, Jordyn Neveah and I pledge my life to you and only you." Jordyn wiped the tears from her dark eyes as Kaylee handed her a tissue and smiles at me.
"Jordyn, please state your vows to Seth," says the priest.
"The moment I saw you was the moment I knew my life was going to change forever. For the longest time I was afraid to love and afraid to be happy but you were my hurricane. You came into my life abruptly and ruined everything I tried to fight. You made me fall in love with you, you made me happy. You changed my life for the better. I fell in love with you despite all the times I fought with myself not to fall in love it was hard not to fall in love with you. I finally gave you a chance and I'm glad I did. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made. You have been the best thing for Jonah and stepped up to be a dad to him even when you didn't' have to be. You have always been about Jonah and took responsibility for him even if it wasn't your job to. I love you, Seth. I gave you my heart and you will always hold my heart. You have been one of the best things to happen to me in my life. I'm glad I let you break down my wall and let you love me because it turns out that you're the man I have always dreamed of. People think I am too young and think I am crazy to marry you this young but you can't help who you fall in love with. I am ready to promise myself to you. You're the first man I have truly loved and you will be the last man I truly love. I promise my life to you. I promise to love you the rest of my life. I promise to love you through the good and through the bad. I promise to support you in your dreams and be by your side through everything. I promise to respect you as my husband, promise to be faithful and true to you forsaking all others. I promise to spend the rest of my life with you and I promise to be the wife you deserve. I promise to love you for an eternity. I love you Seth and I promise myself to you forever and always. I promise to love you like crazy and I promise to remind you every day of how much you mean to me and how grateful I am to have you in my life. I love you, Seth and I promise you forever," she says as the tears burn my eyes. I just want to kiss her but it's not time for that.
"At this time I would like to have Jonah, Seth and Jordyn pour sand into this empty vase as a symbol of their unity for one another and their unity as a family." Jordyn hands Kaylee her bouquet before she and Jonah meet me at the podium. We each pick up a color of sand and each take turns pouring it into the vase to symbolize our unity as a family. "And at this time I understand Seth and Jordyn have chosen not to exchange rings but to have a tattoo of the other's name put onto their fingers but I want to take this time for them to repeat these words after me. Seth, please repeat after me," he says. "With my name I promise my life to you."
"With my name I promise my life to you."
"To honor, cherish and respect you."
"To honor, cherish and respect you."
"To never let no other part what we vowed."
"To never let no other part what we vowed."
"With my name I thee wed."
"With my name I thee wed," I repeat with tears in my eyes and the lump in my throat.
"Jordyn, repeat after me," he says, "With my name I promise my life to you."
"With my name I promise my life to you."
"To honor, cherish and respect you."
"To honor, cherish and respect you."
"To never let no other part what we vowed."
"To never let no other part what we vowed."
"With my name I thee wed."
"With my name I thee wed," she says choking up.
"Today, Seth and Jordyn have promised their lives to one another and promised an eternity to one another and stand as one before the eyes of their friends and family we wish that no man may part what they have vowed today and by the power invested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may now kiss the bride!" he announces. I smile and lean in to kiss my wife's soft lips passionately as Jonah covers his eyes as we share our soft kiss. "And may I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Rollins," he says before we make our way back down the aisle. I can't believe we are married and I can't believe Jordyn is my wife. I couldn't have asked for a better wife in my life.
Later that evening after our private wedding on the beautiful beach in San Diego we have a small reception just the 5 of us to celebrate our marriage to each other. It's not a normal reception but it's still a nice celebration. Jordyn and I share a dance to our wedding song; I Won't Give Up by Jason Mraz in the cool of the December night on that beach in San Diego. I get lost in my moment with her as the soft music plays and I dance around on the beach with her. "I love you, Jordyn."
"I love you too," she says as she rests her head on my shoulder as we continue to share this special dance as the stars light up the sky. I gave her my jacket to wear as it has cooled down for our reception. I wanted to keep her warm. I softly sing along with the song and she looks at me with a smile before she kisses my lips softly before she sings with me. "I won't give up on us. Even if the skies get rough, I'm giving you all my love, I'm still looking up," she sings with me and I smile down at her. The song comes to an end and I kiss her lips softly as the moon shines down on us.
"Are you ready to go back to the hotel?" I ask her.
"I've been ready," she smiles. We walk off the beach and see Kaylee dancing with my brother Brandon in the same moonlight we danced in as the soft music continues to play. "Look at them," she says. "I think Kaylee likes your brother."
"I think my brother likes, Kaylee. I think they would be good for each other."
"I agree," she smiles, "and look at Jonah," she says as he sleeps on one of the chairs. "Poor kid is exhausted. He had a good time today. I'm glad he could give me away to you so you could be my husband."
"I'm grateful he was willing to give you away to me," I smile before I kiss her lips. "But Mrs. Rollins, I am not exhausted, I hope you're not either because we have some celebrating to do."
"Yes we do," she says with a smile. "I'm not exhausted yet."
"Yet," I smile. "Let's go, Mrs. Rollins."
"Do you think Jonah will be all right?" she asks.
"He'll be fine Kaylee and Brandon know what they're doing. He'll be fine," I say as I take her hand and intertwine our fingers. We walk back to the hotel and make our way to our honeymoon suite for the night. I take out the hotel key from my pocket. I scoop her up off her feet as I have the door open and she lets out a little squeal before I kiss her lips softly and passionately. I carry her into the threshold of our suite, kicking the door behind me without breaking our kiss. I help her out of my jacket and her beautiful wedding dress before she helps me out of clothes before I carry her over to the bed, towering over her I lean down and kiss her lips softly before we spend our night celebrating our marriage to one another and celebrating our future together.
The next morning after a long night of passionate love making Jordyn wakes up in my arms as I am looking at her beautiful face. She is the most beautiful woman I have ever met in my entire life and she's mine. "Good morning, Beautiful."
"Good morning, Sexy," she responds with a smile before I kiss her lips softly. "Last night was amazing, yesterday was amazing. I can't believe we're married."
"I can't believe it either some of those ring rats and fan girls are going to be pretty pissed I belong to you," I say with a smile.
"Fuck them," she says. "You belonged to me before all the fame and money. And after today they're going to know it when my name is right here," she says touching my left ring finger.
"That's right," I say with a smile. "Just like my name will be right here," I say pointing to hers. "So I want to spend some time with Jonah today while we're here. Maybe take him to the zoo you know before I have to go back out on the road."
"Ugh, do you have to?" she asks.
"Yes, I have to," I say, "but I won't be gone long and I'll be back to you in a couple days and we can celebrate being newlyweds. Are you and Kaylee just hanging out here?"
"I was thinking of going back to Phoenix then you, Jonah and I can go home together so he can get his puppy that's waiting for him."
"He's going to be excited," I say.
"I know. I can't wait to see his face. That's what he really wanted for Christmas."
"I know," I say with a smile, "so what do you say, I order us breakfast, we shower, we get our tats and then take Jonah to the zoo to spend the day together as a family?"
"That sounds good," she says with a smile. "I like it."
"All right," I say as we get up. "Let me order us breakfast and then I'll meet you in the shower."
"Okay," she says with a smile.
Once we make love in the shower with one another, we sit in our robes to have breakfast with each other on the balcony of our suite before we get dressed for the day. We head out to get our tattoos at a tattoo parlor in San Diego. We decided not to do the wedding rings because I would always have to take mine off in the ring which I didn't like so we agreed to each have our names tattooed on the other person's finger in their place. "What do you think?" I ask Jordyn as I show her my finger where her name is written in cursive with our wedding date.
"I like it," she says with a smile. "What about mine?" she asks showing me my name on her finger with our wedding date. "Forever and always, Seth," she says.
"Forever and always," I say before I kiss her lips before we walk out of the tattoo parlor and head back to the hotel to pick up Jonah from Kaylee and Brandon so we can spend the day together as a family at the zoo before I have to go back to work the next day.
A/N: What did you think of JOrdyn's and Seth's wedding? Did you like that they kept it simple and low key? What did you think of their vows to one another? What about their choice to not have wedding rings but to have the other's name tattooed onto their finger instead? What did you think of the chapter in general? Should I keep the story going or end it soon? Are you still interested in it? Please review and thank-you for reading.
