Chapter 27

Rory POV

Things were working out perfectly. Finn and I had managed to get everything done that we wanted. We got the marriage license, we got the Pre-nup signed, Colin got it overnighted to his Dad who got it filed, I got a dress, we managed to find a minister that would marry us. Everything was set. We were getting married tonight on the beach.

I was sitting on the balcony enjoying a cup of coffee watching the sun rise. Everything was finally happening. By the end of the day Finn and I would be married and we were having a baby. Finn and I had decided that when we got back to Hartford that we were going to start looking for a bigger house. We needed room for the baby but we also needed office space for each of us. I wanted something more family friendly and Finn had agreed.

I was pulled from my thoughts by Finn's voice. "What are you doing out here?" He asked me.

I turned and smiled at him. "I was just thinking about everything and watching the sun rise." I told him.

He walked over and sat beside me. "What you thinking about?" He asked me.

I smiled at the question. "I was thinking about how happy I am. We're finally getting married, we're having a baby. I feel like this whole Australia nightmare is finally going to be a distant memory." I said.

He put his hand on my thigh. "Me too babe. Me too." He said.

Finn and I had decided to spend the day together. We told everyone to leave us be until four o'clock. We spent most of the day curled up on the balcony. When four o'clock came around we separated so that we could get ready.

I was in the bathroom fixing my hair when out of the corner of my eye I saw Mom and Steph. I turned and looked at them. "What?" I asked.

"We were just noticing how happy you are." Steph said.

"Well, I have multiple reasons to be happy. The main reason being that I'm finally marrying the love of my life." I told them.

Mom walked up and hugged me. "I'm really happy for you babe. Kinda wish your dad was here for this." Mom said.

"Dad will understand. Especially since Finn and I called him. Logan is videoing the ceremony so that we can show everyone back home." I told them.

We finished getting ready before we had to make our way down to the beach. I stood there in the bedroom and looked at myself in the full length mirror. I was excited that we were finally getting married and starting our life together…officially, but part of me felt like it was a dream. Part of me thought that we'd never get here. At one point in time I felt like Finn's time in Australia was never going to end. When I'd seen him for the first time in three years at Steph and Colin's engagement party I had wanted nothing more than to jump in his arms and kiss him with everything that I had. When he'd kissed me for the first time in three years, everything that I'd loved about him all came flooding back.

I was pulled from my thoughts by the sound of a throat clearing. I turned to look at the doorway and I saw James standing there. I smiled at him. "You look beautiful Rory." He said.

"Thanks." I said.

"I remember the first time that Finn brought you home. Charlotte was so excited. It had been a long time since Finn had brought a girlfriend home to meet us. The entire day, Charlotte kept telling me that she was sure that you were going to be the one that Finn married." James said. I stood there and listened to him. "When I decided to send Finn to Australia, Charlotte was so mad at me. She didn't speak to me for weeks. She told me that I was ruining Finn's happiness and yours. I knew though. I knew that when he came home that the two of you would find your way back to each other. I knew that the two of you would end up here. I knew it the day that he brought you home." He said.

"It means a lot, you saying that. But there's something that you need to know. And please don't mention it to Charlotte, I don't want to upset her." I said and he nodded. "Shortly after Finn left for Australia, I was sick. I ended up at the hospital. I found out that I was pregnant. At first I was upset. I was upset because Finn wasn't there to share the joy with me. But then I started to get used to the idea that there was going to be a tiny person that was part him and part me. When I went back for my doctor's appointment, they couldn't find the heartbeat. I was devastated. When I started meeting with my therapist, she told me that the miscarriage wasn't my fault…not directly anyway. She told me that I most likely miscarried because I was heartbroken." I told him.

"I'm sorry Rory. I had no idea." James said.

"Of course you didn't. I get that you think that you thought that you were doing what you thought was best, but what if we hadn't been able to work things out? What if we hadn't been able to find our way back to each other?" I said. "I have loved Finn for a long time, and when you took him away from me, it nearly killed me…literally. I know that it's not an excuse but I know that deep down had you not sent him away that he and I would have been married a long time ago. When I graduated from Law school, two of my best friends got engaged and found me three days later unconscious from alcohol poisoning. I could have died. And it was all because you sent him away. So when I say this, you can trust me on it…if you get in the way of my relationship with him again, I will bury you. Got it?" I said.

He nodded. "I am sorry, Rory." James said before he turned around and walked out.

It was another few minutes before I made my way downstairs and out to the beach area where Finn and I were getting married.

Finn POV

Colin, Logan and I were standing on the beach waiting for Rory to come down when I noticed my Dad was nowhere in sight. I know that he had said that he wanted a minute with Rory before the ceremony. I hoped that he would be nice, but more importantly I hoped that he wouldn't get Rory upset. With her having a previous miscarriage I knew that she was going to need little to no stress.

It was about fifteen minutes later when I saw her. She was so beautiful. She always had been. She looked beautiful in whatever she was wearing. I looked over to the minister. "We're ready." I told him.

He looked over to the DJ that we'd hired for the afternoon and evening and he started the music. I turned to look back at Rory. She walked down the steps to meet Luke who was waiting for her. She linked her arm with Luke's and they walked down to where I was standing. I held my hand out for her. "Take care of her." Luke told me and I nodded.

Rory and I turned to face the minister. "Rory and Finn, have invited you all here to witness as they enter into matrimony. This is not a decision that should be entered into lightly. Do the both of you enter into this decision of your own free will?" The minister said.

"We do." Rory said.

The minister nodded. "Rory and Finn have written their own vows. Rory, would you like to begin." The minister said.

"Finn, before I met you, I only dreamed about what love could be like. I had been in a few relationships, but with you everything was different. I felt like every emotion that I felt like every emotion has been heightened. But the one thing that I have learned in the years that I have loved you, is that I find more ways to love you each and every day. I promise to love you, support you and always be there for you through the good, the bad and the ugly for the rest of my life." Rory said.

"Finn." The minister said.

"Wow, that's umm, tough to follow." I said, laughing. "Rory, you are my rock. You make every bad day that I have good. You make me laugh. You make me smile. I knew the moment that I met you that you were it for me. I knew the moment that I met you…I was going to marry you, have a family with you and grow old with you. You amaze me every day. You have this unique way of making everything better when it feels so dark. I love you, Rory. I will spend the rest of my life loving you." I said.

I looked into Rory's eyes and I could see the tears begin to fall. "I love you." She said.

"And I love you." I said.

"Do you have rings?" The minister asked. Rory nodded. She opened her free hand and handed the rings to the minister. "Rory, place this ring on Finn." He said. Rory put the ring on me. "Finn, you do the same." I took Rory's ring from him and placed it on her finger with her engagement ring. "These rings are a memento of the vows that you have made to each other. Cherish them as you cherish each other. By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." The minister said. Thank god. I grabbed Rory and pulled her to me, kissing her like my life depended on it. When I pulled back I noticed that everyone around us was walking back towards the hotel where we were going to be having dinner.

"How do you feel?" I asked her.

She wrapped her arms around my waist. "I feel perfect." She said. "I feel like everything is exactly how it should be."

Rory POV

Finn and I walked around on the beach for a bit before we headed back up to the hotel to meet everyone for dinner. When we walked into the conference room where dinner was being set up, I looked around and saw everyone that I cared about. I saw family and I saw my friends that I cared so much about. I was happy. I had finally married the love of my life and we were starting a family. I felt like everything was perfect.

It's hard for me to believe because there are parts of this story that have turned out completely different then how I originally imagined it. Hope that you guys enjoyed this chapter.
