Sally shut the door behind them so they could have privacy in one of the small classrooms at the school. "What exactly did she say Lightning?" Sally asked immediately. Lightning sighed answering "That I've been sending her letters, which I haven't, and with that plus the visits and calls I've made her and then the.. conjugal visit request.. She says that her lawyer says that I gave her time off." Sally covered her mouth in a silent gasp in a sorts of way. Lightning sat down at one of the desk and began thinking of how bad this really was. Sally, thinking if Cleo could actually do that.
After thinking, Sally's best answer was "You should talk to Dianna. She would know what to do." Lightning nodded in disappointment. He really had hoped that Sally would know what to do. Sally then sat up onto the teachers desk. Staring at Lightning and seeing the worry in his eyes as he stared back at her. Both remained quiet for a few seconds as they thought of how on earth they were going to escape Cleo in the end game. After staring at what seemed like forever, Lightning was first to get up and approached Sally.
Standing in front of her, he took her hand and thanked her. "For being by my side. I love you." He then kissed her hand gently. Sally smiled and shrugged it off. Lightning then pulled her legs apart and stepped between them and then kissed the side of her neck. Sally immediately pushed him away by his shoulders and protested "Not here.. Not right now.. I am way to stressed." she admitted. Lightning sighed. "I need it.. I need you." He whined with a pittiful smile all while his hands rubbed at her hips. Sally crossed her arms and raised a brow. Lightning only smiled more. He loved this woman. "Don't make me bend you over and spank you now.." he joked playfully.
Sally rolled her eyes with a smile. "Maybe later Light.. Seriously, we have to deal with this Cleo problem and let's not forget your Mom! She has her doctor appointment in a few days and one of us have to take her." Lightning started to get adjetated thinking about his mother. He just didn't want to accept what was happening. "I won't put her in some home." he reminded for what felt like the millionth time. Sally nodded replying "I know.. But.. What do you want to do?" She asked. Lightning stared at her for a moment. Thinking. What did he want to do? What should he do? He thought and knew EXACTLY what he wanted to do. He smiled slightly before answering "I want to marry you. No more waiting around and no more putting it back. I want to marry you now."
That warmed her heart, but she questioned the timing. "As much as I love the idea of marrying you again now, isn't this.. Bad timing Stickers?.. We gotta prepare legally for whatever Cleo is planning and on top of that your mother and Jackson just got his sight back which means he's going to want to race and yo-"I don't care. None of that comes before this. You. That is, unless you're having second thoughts?" he asked. Sally's eyes widened. "What, no! I definitely want to marry you again." Lightning smiled hearing that. "Than let's get married." He said as he brushed some of her hair behind her ear. Sally smiled as she looked up into his eyes and nodded. It was about time they did anyway...
You can picture it like it was out of a fairytale. ;) Sunset, outside. Now, sense it was kinda last minute, they didn't have the time to order a lot of the fancier and more elegant things they had for their first wedding. So again, it was sunset, right outside of town under a large tree. Best part, sense no one really knew about it, only the people they wanted were there. No ratzi! It was a small amount of people, friends and some family. Lightning's mother and one of his brother's, Chad was there. The others were older and couldn't find the time and that was understandable. Of Sally's, her brother and his wife, his son was in college and no way able to come. Sally's father wasn't able to make it he told them. Sally wasn't going to let that bother her. And ofcorse there was Mater, Lightning's best man. Only groomsman this time.
Sheriff, Flo and Ramone, and the rest of the townspeople that were close to the couple. Cal, Megan and Mera. Bobby and Heather couldn't make it due to Heather being so pregnant and pretty much not able to make it anywhere at this point. And sense it was so last minute, the townspeople did what they could to make this little area look like a wedding. Sense there was no red carpet this time, the folks all brought their welcome matts from their doors and lined them up between all the wooden chairs. Some the chairs were really worn so they were covered in flannel for looks. Flo made a cake, Mater brought old lightbulbs for decorations and Megan used her creative side to clean them, fill them with water and place some wild flowers in them and hung them up. Who could of thought old lightbulbs could look so beautiful.
Lightning stood, in a suit, no tie, under the tree waiting for his bride to be who wasn't even there yet. Sense she had to get ready someplace else. Behind Lightning was Mater and his mother. Mater leaned close and asked "Before the bride gets here, was I suppose to bring rings?" Lightning snickered and answered "No." They hadn't had time to technically get any rings. Then Flo's thunderbird pulled up and Ramone, dressed in an extravagant purple suit, walked around and opened the passenger door. Sally stepped out, and straightened up her dress. It wasn't an actual wedding gown. Just a white maxi dress with spaghetti straps and a navy blue belt around her and blue fringe around the top of her breasts and a small single, dusty blue flower pin in her hair. Her hair was down and wavy like.
Still, Lightning smiled seeing her. Just happy to finally remarry the love of his life after the crazy past two or three years?..
Not sure there. sorry...
Sally walked up the isle of welcome mats alone with a blushing beautiful smile as she made her way up to Lightning then stood in front of him holding a bouquet of wild flowers or weeds as some people called them. The three kids saw their mom as they sat in the front row. Ece jumped down and ran up to her mother and took her hand. Sally stopped and looked down at her daughter then back to Lightning. Lightning, who smiled a little more seeing dear little Ece in her white summer dress walking Sally up the isle on her own. It only made the moment more memorable and sweet. Sally and Ece stood in front of Lightning. That's when Lightning noticed the necklace Sally was wearing. It was the one he gave her so many years ago with the number 95 engraved on it. "You wore the necklace." He exclaimed. Sally smiled and nodded then Sheriff cleared his throat to speak.
Ece looked at her father then back at her brothers who were slightly picking on each other. Then Minty motioned for Ece to come stand by her so the child did. Sheriff then spoke up asking the couple quietly, "Um.. How you two wanna do this?.. I didn't exactly make up a speach.." Sally smiled answering "That's fine, I'll start." Then she looked at Lightning, gazing, taking his hands. Wow he had the blue-est eyes. "Lightning.." She stood there and her smile faded. She was overcome with emotion and the memories of their first marriage together. Lightning's smile faded as he opened his mouth, but Sally stopped him and continued with her words as tears gathered in her eyes.
"I am so sorry for disappointing you.. I started this.. It was my fault we began failing each other to begin with. I let you down and I couldn't hold up my end of our vows." Everyone was a little surprised and felt a little awkward hearing this as wedding vows and could honestly feel their pain and love to sense everyone invited knew of everything that had happened between the two of them. Sally swallowed hard and continued "For that, I'm so sorry. I wasn't there for you when you needed me most." Tears running down her cheeks, lip quivering "I hate letting anyone down and always try to please everyone and especially you and I gave up on you for no good reason and it broke my heart when you..." She paused and shook her head. She began to think ans realize that maybe she was embarrassing Lightning with this.
"I am just so really sorry for that.. I really love you. I choose you. Again. Even when you make me mad, I promise my love will not fade this time. I know we are going to fight and frustrate each other.. We're human.." She took a deep breath and wiped her eyes. Lightning smiled a little and used his thumb to gently wipe under her eyes. Sally snickered saying "Good thing I barely wore any make up huh?" Lightning snickered back with his charming smile. "Lightning, I will go to battle for you and choose you always and I will keep choosing you. Every single day, I will love you." Lightning smiled and it became silent. Sheriff looked to Lightning and muttered "Guess that's your turn." Quietly. Lightning sighed and began.
"Sally.. I love you. I have forgiven you and will never bring what happened to the table. We are here today because you, a beautiful and loving woman decided to forgive me. I messed up so much more. I am.. So ashamed that I showed my absolute worst side to the best thing that has ever happened to me. I'm sorry.. I can promise you I will always love you and always want you. That you will always be in my head. Sometimes as a nagging voice, but I'm okay with that." A few people laughed at that. Sally rolled her eyes and shook head with a smile before Lightning continued "I can't promise you a perfect relationship, but I can promise that as long as we're trying, I'm staying. No matter what. I love you and I will not fail you as the husband you need and deserve this time. I will not fail as the father.. I should have been all along." He took her hands again and finished,
"And I think I said this the first time around, but I'm gonna say it again. Thank you. Thank you for being the love I needed when I didn't think I needed love at all. You changed me, it softened my stubborn, arrogant self. And... Even though I didn't know it at the time, it saved me.. You saved me. I will never risk losing you ever again." Sally immediately wrapped her arms around him in a tight embrace! Lightning held her closely and tightly in his arms. Everyone saw that they truly loved each other. They pulled apart and Sheriff had to wipe a few tears from his own eyes. Which was funny. Mater quietly asked "Shoot.. Are you cryin?" Sheriff shook his head, but he was. It was funny.
Then he asked sniffling "Do.. Do we have the rings?" Sally answered that with "We didn't buy any.. Well order any yet." "Actually I had picked up something. For you, at least." Interrupted Lightning. Sally watched curiously as Lightning opened his jacket up and took out this small silicon ring that he had obviously gotten from the little store in town at a discount price. Sally smiled a little as he admitted "It's not ideal.. Or very nice. But it's"-"Perfect. It's thoughtful and it's perfect Stickers."
Lightning smiled very happily hearing that. He then took her hand and said "With this.. Ring.. I promise you, you will never walk alone. My heart will be your shelter and my arms your home. We will walk through everything together. I hope you feel deeply loved, because you are indeed. I hope you feel the joy that I feel looking at you today for the rest of our lives." He slipped the ring on. A little oddly sense the silicone waa a little stick to skin kinda. Sally smiled and wished she had though of something so simple and sweet.
Then she took off her blue single flower hair pin and pinned it into the collar of Lightning's suit jachet saying "With this.. Pin.. I marry you. You are the love of my life and my best friend." Mater cleared his throat. Sally laughed and corrected "Second best friend. I love you." It was the sweetest and cheapest little wedidng and yet it was perfect! With that, Sheriff then said "I now pronounce you, man and wife. You may kiss the bride." The two locked lips gently and kissed then hugged among the applause and cheers, whistling. They broke lips and Minty nudged Lightning which grabbed his attention "I like this one." She said. Lightning snickered and nodded. "Me too." he agreed. Sheriff then announced "I introduce, Mr. and Mrs.Monty McQueen." Lightning heard that name and looked at Sheriff like really? Sheriff pounted toward Minty saying "She made me do it.. Legally." Funny.
Then the kids ran up to their parents and honestly, this wedding felt better than the first one! Megan approached them with Cal. "Here." She handed Lightning an envelope. "What's this?" Lightning asked. Sally followed with "We said no gifts Meg." Cal nodded and spoke up saying "Well, we talked and wanted to do this." Lightning opened the envelope and inside was a reservation certificate, receipt and plane tickets. "Can't say no. You work for me, and I'm making you go." Cal added. Lightning and Sally were shocked a bit. "But the kids?" Said Sally. Megan answered quick with "They'll be fine with us. I have the next five days planned out." "Five days!?" Sally exclaimed! Cal nodded replying "You two need it, deserve it. It's sort of a wedding gift and thank you." Cal placed a hand onto Lightning's shoulder saying "Thank you." Lightning wasn't sure what for exactly, but nodded.
"Five days? What are we gonna do with ourselves and no kids or work?" Asked Sally. Lightning only smiled and chuckled "Oh I can think of a few things." he answered. Sally glared playfully and slapped his chest with the back of her hand gently. Cal spoke up saying "You two have fun. Just drop the kids off tomorrow sometime before you head out. And leave us the suv.. We'll need the seats.." He reminded. Lightning nodded and shookhis friends hand before they left. Lightning and Sally were congratulated by everyone before they and the kids went back to their own home as well...
