Liz is downing the shot that Leslie has placed in front of her only seconds ago and makes a face. "I really have enough, girls."

"Uh-uh," a other brunette says and Leslie giggles. "It is your last week in freedom, Liz. There is no way out of this tonight."

"God," Liz groans with a smile and is checking the vision of her eyes. "I hate you, Mel."

Melanie Simonelli laughs throaty and orders the next round. She is friends with Liz since high school and never understood why she has chosen Jane's path. "No. No, you don't. You love me, Lizzy. I still can't believe that you finally tie the knot."

"And I can't believe that you really got me drunk."

"And I can't believe that you turned into such a scrub." Leslie slurs with a smile.

"Shut up, boozehound." Liz chuckles and gives her best friend a light shove.

"Oh, I am just enjoying that I can do whatever I want to do right now." Leslie replies and laughs hysterically as she sees Liz' skeptical look.

Melanie is joining the redhead's laughter and nods in the direction of a man who is sitting at the counter and who is eyeing all of them. "So you could hook up with that cute guy over there?"

Leslie is looking long at the stranger and tilts her head to the side, wrinkling her nose. "Nah, he's not my type."

"No? What is your type?"

"Everyone who is looking like Chaz Montoya." Liz answers and hides her smirk behind the neck of the beer bottle.

"And who is named Chaz Montoya," the redhead adds and snickers with Liz.

"Excuse me, girls." Melanie says and gets up to her feet. "I do like blond guys."

"Oh, my." Liz laughs and buries her face in her hands.

Leslie snorts and is skidding closer to the brunette. "So, how are you doing these days?"

"I'm good." Liz says and looks at Leslie with a smile. "I am happy. I am beyond happy."

Leslie smiles relieved and wiggles her eyebrows. "That's a good sign, Liz. It is a good sign when you finally got the nagging voice in the back of your mind shutting up."

"Oh, God, yeah." Liz agrees with a laugh, but then she turns serious again and looks long at the redhead. "Did you have doubts before you married Chaz."

"Hell, yeah. Tons of doubts, Liz." Leslie answers and empties her own bottle. "But they have been baseless."

"Besides the fact that he cheated on you."

"That didn't have to do with our marriage."

"Oh, no?"

Leslie is glaring at her and Liz is scoffing amused. "You are an ass sometimes."

"I know," the brunette laughs and sips her beer. "I know, and I am sometimes sorry for that."

The redhead rolls her eyes and smiles broadly.

Liz starts to pick at the label of the bottle and looks with a frown at Leslie. "Can I tell you something?"

"Yes, unless you are going to tell me that you actually get cold feet again."

"No, I don't get cold feet again. Adam and I … We are thinking about to start our own family."

"And does Adam know about that too," the other woman asks with a smirk.

"We actually talked about it." Liz answers with furrowed brows and nods a little.

Leslie is staring at the brunette and isn't sure for a second if she can trust her intoxicated brain, but then she starts to beam. "Liz, that's great. I mean, that's a huge step for both of you. Are you -"

"Seriously," Liz asks as the redhead trails off and frowns. "Do I really look that irresponsible that I go out and drink even though I am pregnant?"

"No." Leslie answers without thinking twice and she knows that she is absolutely right. Her friend may do some stupid things sometimes, but she never would do that. "And how is Adam feeling about that?"

Liz scoffs and wiggles her brows. "He can't wipe his idiotic smile off his face when he catch me looking at baby stuff." She turns her head and tucks in her chin as she sees the idiotic smile of her friend. "Yap, that's exactly the smile he also have." She groans as soon as she finds herself in a tight hug and makes a face. "All right, Leslie. Stop … Stop it. I really would like to breath."

"You finally made it." Leslie exclaims delighted.

"What the hell do you mean?"

"You are finally a grown up."

Liz takes a deep breath and furls her eyebrows with a smile. "Well, thank you, but all of us already knew that."

Leslie chuckles and gives the brunette a light push.

Liz is standing in the bedroom and is packing some clothes for the rest of the week as she hears a loud sigh. She has to smile and arches an brow. "What's the matter?"

Adam has his arms crossed over his chest and is leaning against the door frame. "I am asking myself how I am going to sleep the next days without you laying next to me."

She starts to smile and shrugs. "I think you already survived lot worse things than this, Adam."

"But back then, I wasn't allowed to touch you." He states and steps closely behind her, brushing her hair to the side. "Or to kiss you."

Liz is straightening up and tilts her head to the side as soon as she kisses her neck. "In a couple of days I am all yours."

"I wasn't aware that I am currently sharing you." He mumbles and smiles.

"You know what I mean." She replies and takes a deep breath.

"If it would be about me we already would've been at the clerk's office."

"Which would break your mother's heart, not to mention those of my mothers."

Adam nods slowly and wiggles his brows. "True."

Liz turns around and gives him a peck. "Come on, walk me out."

He huffs in disapproval and grabs the black traveling bag.

Jane is setting the dining table and takes a deep breath. She isn't sure why she has an uneasy feeling, but she has to look at her adult daughter every five minutes. Somehow, she is feeling like she is losing her only for once and for all. She never understood what Angela meant when she said that it is feeling like you are going to lose a little of yourself when your own kids suddenly are grown up, move out of the house, have the first relationship, the first heartbreak and before you know it the kid you have raised is getting married.

She is looking again at her smiling, twenty-six year old daughter and has to swallow down the limp in her throat. She can still see how she and the little girl with big brown eyes and wavy brown hair are standing at the sink of the kitchen and preparing water bombs at hot summer days.

Or how she almost lost her patience because Liz didn't want to get out of bed and get ready for kindergarten or elementary school.

And now she is looking at a young woman who is having a glass of white wine with her wife.

Liz has noticed that her Ma has been unusually quiet since she had arrived at her parents' home and the looks of Jane every now and then, and it hasn't gone unnoticed that Jane avoided every physical contact with her, on the contrary to Maura. The blonde is almost squeezing her to death every now and then, and is peppering her face with kisses when she gets the chance to do so.

She takes a deep breath and frowns. "Ma, are you alright?"

Maura stops her task and looks up from the chopping board as soon as the question is out in the room. She tried to keep the conversations with her wife at a minimum since they got out of bed and noticed that the Italian is more then grumpy.

Jane doesn't look at her daughter and purses her lips, and is glad that she can use her hair as a curtain. "Yeah, I'm fine." She says with a husky voice and clears her throat.

Liz raises her eyebrows high and glances at the blonde. "She is not handling my wedding very well."

Maura is licking her lips and wipes her hands in a kitchen towel. "You are still her little girl, sweetheart, just like you are mine. And you know that she can't handle chances very well when it comes to you."

The younger woman nods slowly and set the glass in her hand on the island before she is rounding it.

Jane can see the movement in the corner of her eye and straightens up. "Kid, what are you doing?"

Liz has to smile at the name and engulfs her Ma in a tight hug. She closes her eyes as Jane's body went rigid and holds her even closer. "I love you, Mama."

Jane has never been more grateful then in this moment that her daughter isn't as tall as she is and she starts to hug Liz back. She closes her eyes and a tear is tickling down her cheek. "I love you too, baby." She whispers into the younger woman's hair and has to smile because her daughter turns back into the ten-year old spider monkey. "I love you so much, Lizzy. Would you mind if Mom join us?"

Liz starts to shake her head and inhales the scent of Jane deeply. "Not the slightest bit." She whispers.

Maura doesn't need to hear it, she joins them as soon as her wife gives her the sign. She runs her hand over her daughter's head, and all of a sudden she can remember how it has been to hold Liz in her arms for the very fit time.

Liz can see the emotions coming up in hazel eyes and she leans her forehead against Maura's. She doesn't need to say out loud that she loves her mom just as much as she loves Jane. Somehow, they always knew what they are feeling for each other since day one.

Jane is sniffling and squints up at the ceiling. "Okay, I need alcohol now, a lots of alcohol."

Maura starts to chuckle and interlace her fingers with Jane's, and kisses her daughter's forehead. "Yes, me too."

Liz rolls her and chuckles, raising an hand. "I don't turn that down."

Maura looks long at her wife and all of them burst out laughing.

Jane is sitting in the front row and is clinging to her wife's hand, her body is still tense while she watches the ceremony and she has to swallow several times. She feels like a truck is standing on her chest since she has walked Liz down the aisle.

She isn't used that two cops get married and that none of them is wearing their dress uniform, that they insisted that each of the guests are also dressed in civil. And in the same time she can recall how she has felt as she was standing there and told the love of her life her wedding vow. She turns her head and has to smile because of that memory.

Maura has to smile broadly as soon as she feels her wife's on her and squeezes Jane's hand.

Adam, who is dressed in a light gray three-piece suit, takes a deep breath and frowns a little. "From the first time I laid eyes on you, I absolutely melted, literally." He says and smiles after he has swallowed hard. "My hands were clammy and I became a sweaty mess. And there was something about that feeling that let me know there were good things to come." He pauses and furls his brows, smiling broadly. "From our first date, to our first handshake, our first kiss, our first Sox game, and for my sake - a Cubs game."

"Who the hell likes Cubs." Jane hisses and glares at Clarissa Laverty, Adam's mother.

"Sssh," Maura hisses sharply because she want to prevent a discussion between the two women just because of a damn baseball rivalry.

Liz is wearing a plain white wedding dress with a fishtail and her hair are up in a loose bun, and she smiles from ear to ear. "Today I can say that I have had my favorite first. Today I marry the man of my dreams and begin the first day of the rest of my life with you." She smiles sweetly as he steps a little closer. "I feel like the luckiest girl in the world, Adam. I've called you my favorite for a long time and I promise to hold you as my number one in my heart."

Jane is taking a deep breath and tries to hide her smile, unsuccessful. She looks at her wife and nods proudly and sadly in the same time.

Liz smiles like Cheshire cat and suppresses the urge to shrug. "I promise to love you, to be faithful to you, to be your partner and to always be your friend."

Jane looks at Maura as the priest gives his blessing and smiles broadly.

Liz doesn't rally know what happens as Adam pulls her against his body a presses his lips to hers and the audience are starting to clap their hands and wolf whistle. She giggles as he lifts her off her feet with ease and realizes that they really took the last step together.

Jane is sitting at a table and is watching how her daughter and Adam are talking to some of their friends and takes a deep breath, furrowing her brows. She turns her head to the right as soon as she feels an hand on her own and smiles through gritted teeth as she looks into the hazel eyes of her wife.

Maura can exactly see what the Italian is thinking in this moment and is understanding it completely. "It's okay, Jane." She whispers and is squeezing Jane's hand.

"I can understand you, Jane." Clarissa says and is sipping her drink. "It's hard for me too. I mean, none of us do have more children and suddenly they are adults who just got married."

"And now we know how our own parents." Jeremy Laverty adds and smiles a little at Maura who is nodding approvingly.

Jane scoffs and leans back in her chair. "Well, I think all of us knew that that day would come."

"But you didn't expect that it would arrive so fast?" Clarissa asks with a knowingly smile.

The Italian looks long at her and blinks a couple of times. "Yes," she answers with a laugh and the others are joining her. She is flinching when a pair of hands are rubbing her shoulders and looks up to meet other brown eyes. "Hey," she laughs.

Liz is smiling softly down at her Ma and furrows her brows. "Hi. You okay?"

The older brunette takes a deep breath and looks at the others. "We have food, we have alcohol. So yeah, I am fine."

Maura is rolling her eyes and looks at her daughter too. "You are leaving?"

Liz is smiling at her as well and nods approvingly. "Yes."

The doctor and takes a deep breath and gets up from her chair, engulfing her daughter in a tight hug. "You be careful, okay."

Liz is nodding again and makes no move to break the hug. "You give me a call when something is wrong, we are only a stone's throw away."

Maura chuckles and nods. She can see that Adam's parents are also not ready to let go of their only son.

Jane is literally clinging to her daughter and she hates herself for the single tear that has escaped from her eye without permission.

Liz is smiling sadly and takes a deep breath. "Ma," she mumbles.

Jane pulls away and wipes the tear off her cheek and then she pats Adams shoulder. "You take good care of her, all right."

Adam is smiling broadly and nods once. "Scout's honor."

She is looking long at him and then she rolls her eyes. "Ah shucks." She states and engulfs him in a hug as well, and Maura's and Liz' eyebrows shoot up high in surprise.

Adam is surprised as well and chuckles as he hugs the older woman back. "Alright."

Liz can't hide her broad grin and frowns. "Um, can I have him back now?"

Adam straightens up after Jane had released him and glances at her with furled eyebrows. "You are aware that I am not a dog, right?"

Liz is eyeing him and tilts her head to the side. "No? Damn!"

He rolls his eyes now and starts to push the brunette towards the door while the others are laughing. "Come on, let's go."

Jane shakes her head laughingly and turns it as she hears a loud sigh. She furrows her eyebrows as she looks at the blonde and wraps an arm around Maura's waist, pulling her closer.
