Author's Note: My apologies for the delay in posting. I haven't had as much time to write with the holidays. Enjoy!
Kellie and Lorenzo started to make their way down the aisle.
"No wedding march?" Tony asked, "Or special song playing?"
"You do realize this isn't a conventional wedding, Mr. DiNozzo?" Diane said.
"El Jefe's daughter marrying his 2nd in command," Tony said, "For Kellie to agree to that I'm sure there's some life or death power play reason. But come on, you have to have a wedding march or something. They can't just walk down the aisle to nothing."
"Tony, just let it go," Ducky said.
"I'm sorry, I can't," Tony said, standing up, "Excuse me, Kellie, you realize you are walking down the aisle to no music."
"Yes, Tony," Kellie said, "Now please sit down before I have my guards forcibly sit you down."
Tony sat down and pulled out his phone.
Kellie and Lorenzo continued to walk down the aisle and as "Love Theme from the Godfather" started playing.
"How was this man ever a federal agent?" Diane muttered.
"Sometimes I ask myself the same thing," Ducky said, "Tony, you of all people should have more respect for Kellie. Regardless of the circumstances, none of this is easy for her."
"But you have to admit playing the Godfather theme song as the daughter of one of the most powerful alleged racketeers on the eastern seaboard marries his trusted friend and most feared hitman," Tony said, catching Jason glaring at him. He stopped talking.
"We're killing him after the ceremony," Lorenzo whispered to Kellie.
"Definitely," Kellie replied as they continued down the aisle until they were standing in front of Jason and Jimmy.
Lorenzo and Kellie hugged before Lorenzo shook Jason's hand and whispered in his ear, "Take care of her and don't hurt her."
Jason nodded as they stepped back. Jason took Kellie's hand as Lorenzo stepped away and sat down, next to Tony holding his gun where he could see it.
"Not another word," Lorenzo said, "Or move."
Tony awkwardly looked forward and decided staying silent was his best option as Jimmy continued with the ceremony.
"Dearly beloved," Jimmy stuttered, "We are gathered here today to witness the marital union of Jason Morgan and Kellie Riley Corinthos-Scott. At the request of the bride and groom, we're dispensing with the usual ceremonial monologues and will be skipping right to the vows and exchanging of rings."
"But what if I want to not hold my peace," Tony muttered.
Before Lorenzo could glare at him, Ducky whacked Tony Gibbs-style upside the back of the head.
Tony stared at Ducky in disbelief.
"That was on Gibbs behalf," Ducky said, "Now behave yourself, Mr. DiNozzo."
Lorenzo smiled and refrained from intervening.
"Mr. Morgan," Jimmy said.
Jason pulled the matching wedding band with alternating diamonds and sapphires in the band out, "Kellie Riley Corinthos Alcazar Scott."
"Did I miss a last name?" Jimmy asked.
"Don't worry about it," Kellie said, "It's Jason's attempt at a joke."
Jason continued, slipping the ring on Kellie's finger, "Kellie, with this ring I, Jason Morgan, take you to be my wife. I don't think anyone would argue that the life we're building together is unexpected and maybe not under the traditional circumstances. I don't feel like I have to promise you anything we haven't already promised each other. But as we start this new chapter, I still promise to always have your back, to be there for you when you need a safe place to fall apart, and to help you see through the crazy."
"Kellie," Jimmy said.
"I, Kellie Corinthos-Scott, take you, Jason Morgan, to be my husband," Kellie said, "If there's anything, I've learned especially in the last year is nothing about our lives is conventional and that frequently the unexpected does happen. If you had told me even a year ago, we'd find ourselves standing at the altar, I'd have said you were crazy. While the things we've both been through this last year weren't what we hoped for, I'm glad that we've been able to help each other through it. With this ring, I promise to stand by your side through whatever happens in our lives. Considering that we met with you holding two guns on me, so it's safe to say anything goes. But I also promise to try to remind of what fun is and the good stuff is."
"And now Jason and Kellie have chosen to sign their marriage certificate as part of the ceremony," Jimmy said with Diane Miller and Lorenzo Alcazar serving as witnesses.
Diane and Lorenzo moved to the front as Kellie and Jason signed the certificate.
"With the power invested in me," Jimmy said once Diane and Lorenzo sat back down, "I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride."
Jason brushed Kellie's hair out of her face and gave her a gentle kiss.
Kellie and Jason turned to face the back of the church.
"I now present to you Mr. and Mrs. Jason Morgan," Jimmy said.
Jason and Kellie began to make their way back down the aisle. The Godfather theme began playing again, this time with the vocals. Before anyone knew what happened, Kellie had bolted and had one of Tony's hands yanked behind his back with Tony bent over the pew. Kellie used her free hand to press Tony uncomfortably against the pew.
"Do I need to remind you any further of what happens when you piss me off?" Kellie said.
"No," Tony squeaked. Kellie released him and Tony stood up. By this time, Jason had made his way over.
"Have fun reigning this one in," Tony said to Jason.
Kellie lunged toward Tony, but was stopped by Jason.
"He's not worth it," Jason said.
"I'm standing right here," Tony said.
"Besides, you have a plane to catch," Lorenzo said.
"And I will make sure these get filed," Diane said, holding the marriage license.
"On that note," Ducky said, "Congratulations to both of you whatever the future may hold."
"Thank you, Ducky," Kellie said, "And Jimmy for all your help."
"You just get home to your boys," Jimmy said, "And hopefully the cops will have found Alyssa by then. That's all that matters."
Kellie, Jason, and Lorenzo made their way to the exit.
"You're welcome," Tony said, "For the wedding music. And Morgan..."
Jason turned back to glare at Tony causing him to think twice.
"Congratulations," Tony said meekly.
The Airport
Gibbs, Leon, and Jackie were waiting on the tarmac by the plane when Jason, Lorenzo, and Kellie arrived. Lorenzo exchanged pleasantries before boarding the plane to get things ready.
"Mrs. Morgan," Leon said, "It's been a pleasure. Excellent work as always."
"Thank you for allowing me to announce my resignation at the press conference," Kellie said.
"It was the least I could do," Leon said, "I wish that you had been able to work that out differently."
"Did Jason get the rings I told him to get?" Jackie asked.
Kellie raised her left hand, "He mentioned you suggested these."
"As long as you like them?" Jackie said.
"They're alright," Kellie said, trying not to crack a smile.
"The wedding went off without a hitch," Jackie asked.
"DiNozzo's lucky he's still alive," Kellie said.
"What did he do?" Leon asked.
"Treated the ceremony like it was his own personal Godfather movie," Kellie said, "Right down to playing music from the movie."
"He is a movie buff," Leon said, "But I will have a word with him."
"Next time we're both in the same town, drinks," Jackie said, hugging Kellie. She turned to Jason said, "Whatever you do, keep this one happy. She deserves it."
Leon's pager buzzed, "If you'll excuse me. Safe travels Kellie and I hope you find your daughter soon."
"Gibbs, I knew you liked me," Kellie said.
"Just making sure you actually get on the plane," Gibbs said.
"In that case," Kellie said, starting up the stairs.
"Corinthos," Gibbs barked.
"The case is over, at least the joint part of it," Kellie said.
"You did good," Gibbs said.
"Wait, I'm going to need you to repeat that," Kellie said.
"You followed orders," Gibbs said.
"Every damn one," Kellie said.
"Now go bring your daughter home," Gibbs said, "If you need anything…"
"Thanks, Gibbs," Kellie said, and boarded the plane.
Gibbs stopped Jason, putting his hand on his shoulder.
"Do not let anything happen to her. Do you hear me?" Gibbs whispered, "I better not hear you got her tied up deep in the mob again or hurt her in any way."
"Or what?" Jason asked.
"I have skills that will make yours seem like child's play," Gibbs said before letting Jason board the plane.
