AUTHOR'S NOTE ::: This is the love story of Marty and Todd starting from the very beginning when they first met in college. It also includes several other characters as well as their storylines. This story is based off the hit soap One Life to Live, yet the "history" has been changed somewhat to suit the purposes of this story. Not all the parts of this story will contain erotic sex scenes as there is a plot. First and foremost, this story is a romance/drama, not a sex story. This story also deals with the topic of nonconsensual sex as well as other disturbing material, so if you are bothered by that please do not read any further.

Also, I'd like to note that I do not own ABC's One Life to Live or the characters and I will NOT be receiving any payment whatsoever for writing this story. It is intended for entertainment purposes only.

**Todd and Marty's Wedding Day**

Finally, after so much heartache and countless trials, all Todd and Marty's dreams were finally coming true. Marty was in a small room in the back of the church, getting ready for the ceremony. She stood in front of the full-length mirror, smoothing the silky fabric on the front of her gown. Just minutes before the ceremony, she heard someone knocking at the door.

"Who's there?" Marty questioned.

"It's me... Todd. I need to see you," he insisted.

"Todd, you aren't supposed to see me before the wedding. I am in my wedding dress. It's bad luck," she told him.

"It's alright. All the bad luck has already passed us. We have nothing but good luck and happiness in store for our lives now," Todd stated, pushing on the door.

Moving aside, Marty let Todd enter. He swept her in his arms and kissed her. He then moved back a fraction, staring at her in her wedding dress.

"You're so beautiful. I'm so happy to be marrying you today. You should see how cute the kids look in their wedding attire."

"I did see them. Logan is such a cute little ring bearer. And Lilly-Rose and Samara look adorable in their flower girl's dresses," Marty responded. "Todd, how many more children would you like to have?"

Todd glanced at her in sudden surprise. "Is this is a hint, Marty? Are you pregnant again?"

"Would you be upset if I am?" she asked him. "You know the birth control we were using must not have worked..."

Todd gazed into her eyes and said, "I love our kids and I love you, and if you're pregnant, I'm going to be happy."

Marty nodded. "I just found out yesterday at a doctor's appointment. Todd, we are having another baby."

"Larry already knows?"

"Well, he is my doctor," Marty answered.

Suddenly a strange look came to Todd's face. "Wait a second. The first time it was one baby... then the second time it was two. It better not be triplets this time!"

"We'll get an ultrasound, then we'll know. But I don't think it's triplets," Marty tried to reassure him.

"With the twins, the ultrasounds never showed two babies," he reminded her.

"It's only one baby this time, Todd. And I think he or she was conceived the night you asked me to marry you because you were such an animal that night, making love to me over and over again."

"Like I'm going to do tonight on our honeymoon," Todd said with a smirk. He pulled her to him, kissing her deeply as his hands began to roam.

Suddenly they heard a voice calling out from the hallway. "Todd, are we going to get this wedding started or not?" Larry questioned. "The guests are waiting."

"Be right there," Todd responded.

He then looked at Marty and gazed lovingly into her eyes. "Are you ready for this, babe?" he asked her.

"I can't wait for Larry to walk me down the aisle," she told him happily.

"Let's do it then," Todd said as he gave her one last kiss and walked away.

*~o~*

Todd was standing in the front of the church beside Reverand Carpenter. The bridesmaids Vicki and Jessica came down the aisle accompanied by Clint and Sam, the groomsmen. Little Logan trailed after them, carrying the wedding rings upon a silken pillow. Lilly and Samara joined their brother at the altar, scattering rose petals upon the floor. Soon after Marty entered the sactuary on Larry's arm. She took Todd's breath away as she stepped into the room.

After she had reached Todd's side, the ceremony began. Everyone was quiet as the minister began to speak. Andrew spoke of Todd and Marty's great love for one another and all they had gone through to make it to where they were this day. "Despite all the obstacles that stood in their way, these two never gave up," said Andrew. He then gave Todd and Marty an opportunity to speak their own vows.

"Marty, I just want to say thank you... for loving me... for believing in me. Like Reverand Carpenter said, we've been through so much heartache to get where we are today. But because of your love, I became a better man. I want you to know, you mean EVERYTHING to me. I promise to do whatever it takes to make you happy. You are my light... my love... my everything..." Todd stated.

Marty took a deep breath, trying to remember all the vows she had rehearsed for Todd. In the end, she just spoke from the heart, pouring out all her feelings so that everyone could hear how deeply she loved the man who stood before her. "Todd, even though we have gone through bad times, there were so many good times as well. You've made so many of my dreams come true. And I know the future holds so much more happiness for us. I love you with all my heart and soul. I couldn't live without you. I want to spend the rest of my life loving you..."

After the ceremony was complete, Reverand Carpenter spoke a few words and then he said, "Todd, you may kiss your bride." Todd swept Marty into his embrace to kiss her deeply.

"I love you," Todd said as he broke away.

Todd and Marty mingled with their guests awhile as everyone wished them a long and happy marriage. After an hour or so had passed, Vicki came to tell them that it was almost time to go. "The limo's outside. You two better get leaving on your honeymoon," Vicki said to them.

Todd bent down to kiss and hug the kids good-bye as Vicki was planning to watch them while he and Marty were on their honeymoon. "Bye-bye, Daddy," Little Lilly said as she patted Todd's face.

Looking at Marty, a tear came to Todd's eye. It was the first time Lilly had called him Daddy, and it was the best wedding gift of all.

"Good-bye, Lilly-Rose. You be a good girl for your Auntie Vicki, and keep your twin in line," Todd said as he kissed the little girl on the cheek.

Marty kissed each of her children and left them in Vicki's care. She rushed outside with Todd to the limo, laughing as they were suddenly hit by a torrent of pouring rain. "Wouldn't you know it, Marty... Rain; on our wedding day," Todd said as they sat down in the back of the limo.

"It's alright, Todd. It doesn't spoil it for me. I love you SO much," Marty told him.

"I love you so much, too," Todd responded as the limo pulled away from the curb. "After everything we've been through, I think we are finally gonna get our happy ending."

"No, Todd," she said as she shook her head. "We have no ending; we are only just beginning."
