I would like to thank Carphanie,LoveSparkle, caitloveslogan, 4ever with Kames, Chey21, I Love KL,CUTE CARGAN LOVE, rawbbles, and child who is cool for taking the extra time to review and let me know waht you think. I love them all so keep them coming.

Ok quick note. I think some of you didn't get that "Groomzilla" was a play on "Bridezilla" which is a woman who goes over teh top trying to make her wedding perfect and tries to do everything on her own. Dak wasn't a bit one, but I thought it would be something Kendall would call him. Also the reason Dak didn't kill Kendall in the last chapter was becuase it was late at night and he was tired and he was happy with how the little get together went.

Chapter 29: Finally Getting Married

Dak was pacing back and forth in the mess hall. It was where he was to wait before the ceremony. Jett had woken up before him and left him a note saying that he'd see him at the dock. Dak should've know that Jett wouldn't want to see him before the ceremony. It was supposed to be bad luck and Jett wanted all the good luck he could get. Dak thought it was silly, but gave into Jett. A few hours apart would be fine.

Dak walked over to the window and looked over his reflection. He was tearing his suit. His jacket and shirt were white while his tie, vest, pants, socks and shoes were black. The weather was cool right now and there was a nice breeze so Dak hoped he wouldn't get too hot in all the layers. Jett would be wearing the same outfit as him as well as Kendall and Logan, only the two didn't have vests since Kendall said he didn't like them.

Dak sighed and took a deep breath. This was really happening, soon he would no longer be Dak Zevon,but Dak Stetson. Finally after waiting so long for this, everything was happening and Dak was excited. Dak took a few deep breaths and tried to calm himself down a bit. This was finally happening and nothing was going to stop it. Dak would be damned if he didn't become a Stetson today.

The door opened and Dak looked up and smiled at Kendall as he walked in. Kendall was smiling and practically bouncing as he walked.

"What's up," Dak asked looking at his watch. He still had time before the wedding. There was a half hour left.

"It's almost time, you excited," Kendall asked smiling at his best friend.

"Oh god, I'm nervous," Dak admitted as he fell into a chair. Kendall smiled and walked over to him.

"You've got nothing to be nervous about, Jett loves you and he'll be waiting for you," Kendall said placing his hand on Dak's shoulders.

"I know that, that's not what I am worried about, I'm worried that I'll mess up and say something wrong or forget my vows," Dak said.

"I've got that covered," Kendall said reaching into his pocket and pulling out a car. "It helps having a boyfriend who's got a great memory," he added when Dak looked confused. Dak grabbed the card and looked it over and saw Logan's neat handwriting. It wasn't his vows word for word, but they were little reminders of the basic things that Dak had said.

"He only heard them once," Dak said shocked. He had run his vows by Kendall and Logan since he couldn't get Kendall alone. He wanted to know what Kendall thought of them but both of the younger two liked them so Dak was happy.

"Yep, he's like really smart," Kendall said smiling.

"Thank you," Dak said moving closer to Kendall and hugged him. "You're a great best friend Kendall and I'm glad I asked you to be my best man," he said.

"Hey it's no big deal, you'd do the same for me," Kendall said.

"Of course I would," Dak said pulling back from the blonde smiling.

"So it's agreed if I get married you'll be my best man?" Kendall asked arching en eyebrow at Dak.

"Duh," Dak said laughing. Kendall reached into his pocket and pulled out a box and opened it for Dak to see a simple gold ring. "Oh my god you're nuts," Dak said his eyes wide.

"I'm not gonna ask him yet, but this was my grandfathers ring that he gave me right before he died. He knew I was gay and said to give it to the guy that I loved," Kendall said looking at the ring. "When I went home last week I started thinking about the wedding and then I remembered the ring," he said.

"You're nuts," Dak said shaking his head.

"I was thinking maybe asking him next year before we go to college or maybe after we get out for the summer, and I want a long engagement not a short one," Kendall said looking down at the ring.

"You're nuts," Dak said again. Kendall opened his mouth but Dak held up his hand. "I think he'll say yes though whenever you ask him. He adores you Kendall and I look forward to hosting another wedding at the camp in the future," he said.

"What makes you think we'll do it here?" Kendall asked.

"Oh please, this is where you two met. It's where you fell in love not only once but twice," Dak said. Kendall laughed and nodded his head.

"Yeah, this place is like magic, I mean I've made so many friends here and found the man that I love," Kendall said looking down at the ring a goofy smile on his face. Kendall closed the box and slipped the ring box back into his pocket as the doors opened and Logan ran into the mess hall, he looked scared.

"What's wrong?" Kendall asked worried.

"Dak something's wrong with Jett, he's yelling and upset and I can't calm him down," Logan said trying to catch his breath.

"What do you mean?" Dak asked quickly.

"I don't know, one minute he was greeting guests and then he's storming down the path upset and I tried to ask what was wrong and he went off on me. I've never seen him like this before, not even when you guys fought before," Logan said.

"Where is he?" Dak asked.

"I think he was heading down to the lake," Logan said. Dak nodded his head. He then took off out of the mess hall before Kendall could say anything.

Dak rushed past people running down to the lake. It was rude to ignore them, but he had to get to Jett and figure out what was wrong. He ran right past area they had set up for the wedding. He made his way down to the dock. He saw Jett, David, and Cade there. Jett had his back to him, but David and Cade saw him.

"What's going on?" Dak asked walking down the dock towards them. Jett whirled around quickly.

"Dak," Jett said.

"Logan said you were upset, I wanted to know what was wrong," Dak said walking over to Jett.

"My mom is here," Jett said looking down at the dock. Dak walked over to Jett and pulled him into a hug.

"How'd she even find out about the wedding?" Dak asked confused. He knew that Jett's mother had walked out on him when he was really young. Jett had been scared that one day his dad would walk out on him and David would too. Dak was even sure that Jett was scared that he'd leave too.

"Your parents ran our engagement announcement in the paper, she saw it there," Jett said.

"What did she want?" Dak asked letting go of Jett to look at him.

"To talk," Jett said shaking his head, "She's got the worst timing in the world," he added bitterly.

"Did you let her or did you start yelling?" Dak asked looking up at Jett.

"I was mad," Jett said defensively.

"Jett," Dak sighed.

"She walked out on us and she never tried to call or get a hold of us," Jett said angrily his voice rising in volume.

"It's true, we were never able to get a hold of her," David said nodding his head.

"I know and I can't tell you I understand how that feels or anything like that. I just know that she is your mother and she probably has an explanation," Dak said looking to Cade.

"Explain what? Why she left? Why she never called? Why she chooses now of all times to show up again?" Jett asked angrily.

"I'm not saying you have to forgive her or even talk to her, but maybe she does have an explanation," Dak reasoned.

"Well I don't wanna hear it," Jett said bitterly, shaking his head.

"Me either," David said just as bitterly.

"I wanted to call."

Jett looked up from Dak and Dak turned around and saw Jett's mother standing a few feet away halfway down the dock, or he thought it was her and judging by the way Jett tensed it was.

"Rachel," Cade said slowly.

"What are you still doing here, I told you I didn't want you here," Jett said angrily. Rachel didn't flinch at the tone. She just stood there.

"I understand that's your upset and I figured you'd both be mad at me," Rachel said looking at Jett. "I only came here to apologize," she said.

"Go ahead, but don't expect me to listen, I've waited to damn long for a phone call or a letter that never came. I gave up hoping you'd come back years ago, it was useless. I've got something I need to do today and that is marry the man I love," Jett said looking at Dak who was smiling at him. "and you're not going to ruin this day for me," he said. He grabbed Dak's hand and started to walk away.

"I'm dying," Rachel said.

Jett and Dak both stopped at the end of the dock past Rachel.

"Aren't we all?" David asked.

"I've been diagnosed with breast cancer and it won't go into remission," Rachel said.

Dak looked up at Jett and saw his face was unreadable. He wasn't sure what Jett was thinking and he was scared that Jett might snap. Jett let go of his hand and pushed his jacket sleeve up and saw they had a few more minutes.

"I am getting married today. I did not go to hell and back this summer planning a wedding to back out now," Jett said without turning around. "You can't just show up in my life again and expect me to welcome you back with open arms. You left and I moved on, I no longer have a mother as far as I'm concerned," he said. He grabbed Dak's hand once more and walked away. Dak heard footsteps behind them and he glanced over his shoulder and saw it was David.

Yelling was heard from behind them. Dak didn't hear all of it, but he caught the gist of it. Cade was mad that Rachel had the nerve to show up like this on Jett's big day with a bomb like that. Rachel was mad at the way she was being treated and Cade told her she brought it on herself and then said something about never caring about the boys. Soon Cade caught up with the three and told them they had to hurry and get in place. It was noon.

Dak and Jett had to part ways as Jett had to get to the gazebo with David. Dak would be walking down the isle with his mom. She wanted to give him away and Zeke had fought with her, but in the end she got her way. Kendall and Logan would also be down at the gazebo with Jett. Dak didn't know where Jett's mother was, but he hoped she wouldn't stick around, he didn't want Jett anymore upset that he already was.

Dak saw his mother waiting for him. She looked beautiful in her light blue and green sundress and sandals. Her hair was up in a loose bun with some of her curls hanging down around her face. Dak smiled at her. She looked at him questioningly.

"Mom you look beautiful," Dak said.

"Thanks, but where were you you're late," Cyndi said.

"Sorry, we had an emergency we needed to deal with," Dak said.

"What happened?" Cyndi asked.

"Jett's mom showed up, I had to calm Jett down and get him away from her. She dropped a bomb and Jett just walked away telling her she couldn't ruin his big day," Dak said shaking his head as the music started. Dak took a deep breath and straightened his tie and jacket.

"You ready?" Cyndi asked.

"As ready as I'll ever be," Dak said. Cyndi held her arm out to Dak. Dak smiled and linked his arm with hers. As they stood side by side it was apparent just how short Cyndi was to him. She was a whole head shorter than her son.

Cyndi urged Dak forward lightly and they started walking. They reached the isle and everyone was standing and looking at them. Dak just looked to Jett after he scanned the crowd and saw no sign of Rachel. He locked eyes with Jett. Jett smiled at him and Dak smiled. He tried to move faster but Cyndi tightened her grip and made him go slow. She chuckled at his eagerness.

Finally after forever Dak reached Jett who had taken a few steps down from the gazebo to meet Dak. Dak stopped and turned to his mother first. He leaned down and gave her a hug and a kiss to the cheek and then turned to Jett. Cyndi let go of him and Dak and Jett walked up to David.

David started with greeting everyone and explaining why they were all here today. "We are gathered here today to join Jett Stetson and Dak Zevon in the union of matrimony," David said.

Dak stopped listening after that, he only had eyes for Jett. He was hardly listening to David. He was just happy that he was finally here. They were finally getting married.

"Ok Dak and Jett have prepared their own vows," David said, "Jett," he said looking at his brother.

Jett smiled and recited his vows. "I love you Dak, more than anything. I know I say that a lot, but sometimes you can't seem to get it through your head and I just like reminding you," Jett said smiling when Dak sent him a small playful glare. Dak knew he was talking about the incident with Jamal this summer. "I know from the moment I laid eyes on you that I loved you. I had a hell of a time convincing you that it was love though," he paused as a few people laughed. "Now that we've been together for seven years I can't see another way of living. I'd be lost without you. I can't wait to start our family together. I just want to remind you once more that I love you and only you and I will no matter what." Dak was in tears when Jett finished talking. He remembered the card Logan had made for him, but he didn't need it. He took a deep breath and gave his vows.

"I remember that first summer you were insistent on dating me and I denied you. It wasn't until our second summer that you managed to get me to realize you were right, that I did like you. I'll admit I didn't think we would last this long. At first I thought I'd lose a friend. I'm glad that we gave us a shot I may have lost a friend but I gained a best friend, and a lover. Jett you are my everything now and I'm ready to share my life with you and Sara," Dak said. He was trying not to let too many tears fall, but it was proving to be hard when Jett was tearing up as well. "I love you Jett with all my heart I want this to last cause, this is it, you're the one I want to be with, no one else," he said. Jett's eyes were a misty with tears, a few even managed to fall down his cheeks.

David continued on and Jett took Dak's hands in his and smiled brightly at him. They exchanged rings with grins and were hoping David would hurry up with this.

"Jett do you take Dak-" David started.

"You bet I do," Jett said cutting his brother off quickly. He wanted to get to the next part. He was eager for this.

"Dak do you-" David started.

"Oh, yes I do," Dak said quickly cutting David off as well. He like Jett was eager for this to be over. The crowd laughed at their eagerness.

"Well then, I guess I now pronounce you married," David started. Jett leaned in and captured Dak's lips in a kiss. "You may continue to kiss," David said shaking his head. Everyone started to clap and laugh and some people, James and Carlos, made wolf whistles. Dak and Jett parted and walked down the isle together. Kendall and Logan followed them.

After that everyone wanted pictures of the four and then of Dak and Jett, then each with their best man. They wanted pictures with Zeke and Dak and Jett and then Cade with them. Dak asked where Sara was and saw Kendall holding her off to the side talking to Logan. Cyndi was going crazy with the pictures, but Dak didn't mind. He was finally married to Jett after everything they had been through this last summer, it was an amazing feat. Dak was just so happy and didn't want to be away from Jett for too long. Soon family members were posing for pictures with the two and congratulating them. Zeke and Cade managed to get away from Cyndi and her camera for a bit.

The only thing left was surviving the reception. Dak took a deep breath. He knew Sylvia and Jenna who offered to stay and help her were both working hard to get the food out for everyone so it could be ready when they headed to the mess hall for dinner. He was sure she had also roped Carlos, James, and a few of the others to help her as well. He didn't see Lucy, Camille, Heather, or Jo anymore. He knew they all knew how much this day meant to him and he was glad they were helping.

"You ok?" Jett asked.

"I'm still in awe that this actually happened, I mean for awhile there everything seem to be falling apart and then your mother showing up," Dak said.

"I know, I thought everything was going to fall apart too," Jett said, "but today I was determined to make you a Stetson even if it killed me," he added.

"I know what you mean, but I'm a Stetson now," Dak said smiling. It was even legal too. He'd have to do some more paper work before he officially became a Stetson, but this was the start.

"You guys are finally married," Kendall said walking up to Dak and Jett once more with Logan right behind him. Logan was holding Sara who had on a little fluffy pink dress and a pink bow in her black hair. Logan looked at Dak and smiled.

"Wanna hold your daughter?" Logan asked.

"Yes," Dak said holding his arms out. Logan laughed and handed the infant over to her papa. Dak smiled brightly down at his daughter. This just felt right. Jett placed his arm around Dak's waist and he pressed a kiss to the side of his head. There was a click and Dak looked up and saw his mother standing there with her camera while Kendall and Logan laughed at the glare. "Mom don't you think you have enough pictures?" he asked.

"That's the first picture I have of you two with Sara ever," Cyndi said, "now just smile," she added in a tone that made him do as she asked. Dak plastered a big smile on his face, not that it was hard since he was so happy to begin with.

Cyndi got a few more pictures before Carlos came to get her to for Sylvia. She had to go talk to her and make sure everything was fine with the food. Carlos stayed behind for a moment though.

"Sorry I didn't stick around, I had to help set things up in the mess hall with my mom. She got me James, Lucy, Camille, Jo, Katie, and Heather all working," Carlos said.

"It's ok," Dak said smiling at the Latino.

"We all wanted to wish you guys congrats on finally getting married," Carlos said grinning.

"I know, this has been a long time coming," Jett said nodding his head.

"Well I better get back before my mom sends one of the girls after me," Carlos said. Dak nodded his head and said good bye to Carlos.

"So, what time do we need to be to the mess hall?" Kendall asked looking down at his watch. Dak did the same.

"half hour," Jett said looking at Dak's watch. Kendall nodded his head and grabbed Logan's arm.

"We're gonna go talk to my mother," Kendall said as they walked away. Dak knew they weren't going to talk to Jennifer though. He knew Kendall had other plans. Dak smiled as he felt Jett's arm around him.

"We'll get our chance to sneak off later, Mr. Stetson," Jett whispered in his ear. Dak shivered as the words traveled down his spine. Dak fought back the moan.

"I know," Dak replied in a strained voice as he fought off arousal.

"You like being called Mr. Stetson," Jett purred into his ear. Dak just nodded his head not trusting his voice.

"Stop it, I'm holding Sara," Dak said looking down at his daughter. Jett laughed and nodded his head.

The two spent the next half hour walking around and talking to relatives and friends. They eventually found Jamal. Jamal smiled when he saw Sara. He made his way over to them with Tia beside him.

"Hey guys," Tia said smiling at them.

"Hey, how is she?" Jamal asked looking at Sara.

"Great," Dak said, "would you like to hold her?" he asked.

"Can I?" Jamal asked looking up at Dak.

"Yeah, I mean we did agree to let you be a part of her life," Jett said laughing.

"Don't tell her I'm her dad though, I don't want her getting upset that I gave her up. I mean it's not that I didn't want her…" he trailed off.

"Ok, you can be her fun Uncle Jamal?" Jett asked as Dak handed Sara to her biological father. Jamal nodded his head as he looked down at her.

"One day she'll ask about her biological mom and dad," Dak said looking at Jamal.

"When she's old enough to understand that it's not that I didn't want her," Jamal said. Dak and Jett both nodded their heads.

-Summer Nights-

Kendall laughed as he pulled Logan along one of the paths. He had really gone to talk to his mother. He had said hi, but she got distracted and he decided to have some fun. Kendall pulled Logan into one of the empty activity cabins.

"Kendall what are you doing? We can't have sex in here," Logan said pulling his hand from Kendall's.

"I know that, but we can make out for a bit," Kendall said grinning. Logan laughed and shook his head. His laughter was cut short when Kendall's lips pressed to his. Logan immediately responded by parting his lips and running his tongue alone Kendall's lips.

Kendall moaned and parted his lips. The battle for dominance began and Kendall grabbed Logan's hips and squeezed them getting the upper hand. Logan whimpered and moaned into the blonde's mouth as his tongue hit his sweet spots. Logan broke the kiss throwing his head back.

"God Ken," Logan said tangling his fingers into Kendall's hair as the blonde's lips moved to his neck and up to the spot behind his ear. Logan turned to mud and went weak in the knees. Kendall backed Logan into a table and Logan jumped up onto the table. He grabbed the back of Kendall's neck and pulled him into another heated kiss.

Eventually Logan's watch beeped and Kendall pulled back to look at the brunette. Logan just pushed the blonde away and stood up from the table.

"Dak would kill us if we were late," Logan explained.

"You think of everything don't you?" Kendall asked laughing. Logan smiled and nodded his head. He grabbed the blonde's hand and pulled him from the cabin and they started down the trail to the mess hall.

They reached the mess hall just as Dak and Jett did. Dak was no longer holding Sara and they didn't looked surprised to see Kendall and Logan.

"Have fun?" Jett asked.

"Oh yeah," Kendall said earning a nudge in the ribs from Logan. Dak and Jett just laughed at the two. The four headed inside and to the head table where they were going to sit with Zeke, Cyndi, Cade, David, and Sara. Sara was actually in a small rocker on the floor right where Dak could keep an eye on her. She was still too small for a high chair with her being a week old and all. She was high enough for Dak to see her and that was all he cared about.

The four of them took their seats with the others and started talking a bit. The food wasn't going to be served just yet. The hall started filling up and late comers who had missed the wedding were coming up to congratulate Dak and Jett. The two just smiled and thanked them while Jett had his hand on Dak's thigh under the table. Dak however was paying more attention to Sara sometimes. He was making her smile and wave her arms in excitement. It was cute.

Well I've done this chapter a few times and I think this turned out pretty good. I don't know, but just a warning there will be a big bomb dropped in the next chapter and it might change some things a bit, but I'll let you guys decide. I hope to get it up by next weekend.

Always
