A little while later, Zed's elelids started to twitch. He slowly opened his eyes, blinking in response to the light in the room. Why did everythin seem so fuzzy and why couldn't he remember what happened to him? The last thing he could recall was going into the bedroom to see for himself that Elle was alright and then there was a big blank.
"Zed?" Kay said as he looked anxiously down at his friend. He wasn't quiet sure of what to say, how to explain what Zed had seen. What had happened between him and Elle was beyond words.
"What happened?" Zed murmured, his words a bit thick and slurred. Why did his voice sound so funny as if it was coming from the bottom a great well.
"You had a little accident," Elle said as she leaned down and felt his pulse as she checked the monitor. "How do you feel? Do you hurt anywhere?"
"No. What happened? I was going into the bedroom and then...." Zed shook his head a bit, trying to clear it. Why couldn't he recall what happened after that?
The three agents breathed a sigh of relief as they realized that Zed had no recollection of the scene that he had walked in on. Maybe this could be fixed after all.
"Zed, there's something that you should know," Kay said, fumbling for the words to explain this. It was funny when he thought about it. Over his years with the MiB, he had explained millions of strange things, convincing innocent humans that the man-eating alien that had just turned them into lunch was in fact a harmless statue. When it came it explaining his new bride, the best thing in his life, he was at a loss for words though. He wanted to get things just right, wanted to let Zed know exactly how much Elle meant to him, how much this marriage meant to him. He knew that everyone was going to think it was a mistake, something brought on by the stress and worry of Elle's injuries and Kay knew it was much more than that. Sure, her being hurt had something to do with it, but he knew the feelings he had for her had always been there. He had just been afraid to act on them, had been afraid until that night when he held her life in his hands, his breath mingling with hers keeping her alive. his fear of letting her know how he felt had been washed away by the fear that he could loose her and she would never know. How could he explain that though?
Suddenly Elle spoke, "We're married, Zed," she whispered as she held out her hand so that he could see her rings. "Kay and I are married. We went and found a justice of the peace last night."
"What?" Zed cried as he stared at his two agents in shock. Kay was supposed to be taking care of Elle, not.... Suddenly some of what he had seen in that bedroom started to come back to him. "The two of you were....."
"I love her," Kay whispered. He didn't know what else to say except the simple truth, "I love her more than anything."
"You...." Zed was extremely surprised by what he was hearing but as he looked up at them, he did notice something different about Kay, a sutile relaxation and a light in his eyes that Zed had never seen before in all of the years that they had been friends. That light increased when he looked at Elle, he notice, and then he saw the light in her eyes, the same light.
He took a deep breath and then smiled up at both of them. "Congradulations," he told them.
