It was the following October in the midst of falling leaves and a warm
breeze, in front of friends and family, Sarah and Wes were married on the
McMahon Estate. He wanted to take her the Bahamas to be married on the
beach beneath the stars like she dreamed of, but they decided to stay with
family and friends.
"This is some cool stuff going on here" Madison a college friend of
Sarah's. "Its nothing compared to the party's we threw though, those were
wild even for us"
"You'll have to tell me about these wild parties you threw" Wes smiled.
Sarah laughed, "I can't even remember half of them"
"We had a lot of good times, and your set to have many more and I want to
say how happy I am for you" Madison said "Now if you'll excuse me I have to
accidentally run into that good looking guy over there"
"Maddie" Sarah called out to her." That's Shane and he's married"
"Then I'll find another good looking guy to run into," Maddie laughed
"Who is she?"
"She's a soccer buddy of mine, we were some trouble in the day" Sarah
smiled,
"Well then," he smiled
"Speaking of trouble there is someone else I want you to meet," she said
walking him to a table.
"Should I be worried about this?" He asked as they came to a stop.
"So this is the guy, who's marrying Vince's daughter eh?"
Wes looked at the guy and stepped back a bit, "That would be me,"
"I always said she was the smart one, this just goes to prove I'm right."
Sara laughed, "Wes, this is Steve, he works for my father and he's a good
friend of mine."
"That's right and if you give her any problems, you can be damn sure I'll
be ringing your door bell, and when you answer I'm gonna punch you in the
mouth and the only thing you can do about is pick up your little teeth and
move on"
"Your such a nice person Steve, no wonder everyone loves you. Besides
didn't you use that line before on my dad" Sarah smiled,
Steve laughed and shook his head, "I'm just playin with ya man, but you got
yourself a real beautiful wife her congratulations"
"I know I do," Wes smiled as they walked away, "yeah, he was something I
wasn't expecting"
Sarah Laughed "You know were almost done here and I can't wait for us to
finally be alone"
"We could be alone now if you want" he grinned
"We could but this is our dance" She said as the way you look tonight
started and Wes pulled her out onto the dance floor. "I love this song" she
said as they danced.
"I know" he smiled
"Mind if I step in" Vince said cutting in. "Can I dance with your wife
then?" Wes asked.
"Yeah" Vince laughed "I very proud of you. I'm very proud of all my
children, but you really stand out, you went and did everything on you own
and I'm very happy for you"
"Thanks daddy"
"And I know what I did all those years ago was wrong, but truthfully I
wouldn't change a thing, you really brought something special to this
family. And you'd make your mother very proud" Vince said
"I wish she was here, she taught me a lot and I really miss her" Sarah said
starting to cry.
"I know, but Wes will take good care of you and you know we'll always be
here for you"
"I know, I love you, thanks for everything." Sarah said as the song ended.
Linda and Wes were talking and he had her cracking up
"Yeah I have no doubts about Wes taking good care of you," Vince smiled and
walked on.
After many dances and toasts they were just about finished.
"We are almost done here" Sarah said putting her arms around his neck
"That we are and then it will be a new start for you and me"
"That it will and I can't wait much longer" she smiled
"Neither can I, maybe we should go now. But where has your father
disappeared to?" he asked.
"I don't know I haven't seen him for some time now" Sarah said looking
around.
"You do this every time we have a wedding" Linda said from the doorway of Vince's home office. "You did it at Shane's wedding, at Stephanie's and now Sarah's. You come up here and watch everyone from your window and feel sorry" Vince smiled "I don't know what it is about this window and weddings" he said putting his arm around her shoulders. "You can see everyone and everything that's happening from here, you have control that's the way you like things. Knowing everything and being captain of the ship" Linda said leaning her head against him. "I hate when they get married, it only means that there is someone new to replace me" Vince said. "Vince they'll never replace you. Especially Sarah and you, you guys have that special bond that could never be replaced or broken." "You said the same thing with Shane" Vince smiled. "Actually, It was a bit different, I don't remember fully what I said, but it was close" she laughed. Vince laughed. "I know I screwed up, but honestly I'm glad I have her." "I know, we all are and Wes is going to take real good care of her, he won't replace you, no one could ever replace you. Shane and Stephanie are still around, and they are still coming to you for advice, and everything else. Now come on cause I know their getting ready to go" Linda said pulling him slightly.
"Ladies and gentlemen can we have your attention, my sister Stephanie and I have a few things to say before the couple takes off." Shane said getting everyone's attention. "Yeah, Sarah, first of all, we're all so very happy for you and you couldn't have found a better man then Wes. And we love you very much" Steph said a little bit tipsy. "We couldn't have asked for a cooler sister then you, we are definitely lucky to have you in our lives and I believe Wes truly does understand how lucky he is to have you in his life also. Ladies and gentlemen this is to Sarah and Wes. And before I go I believe Mom and dad have a few things they would like to say" Shane said handing the stage over to Vince and Linda. "This is real a joyous event and for two people like Sarah and Wes to finally come together, what makes it even better is, they went through a lot to get here, believe me I know. And I've come to believe they can survive through it all. As Shane and Stephanie have said it really has been a great to have Sarah in our lives and we were blessed to have three great children." Linda smiled. Vince stepped up "I've spoken in front of extremely large crowds and I believe this is one of the hardest moments in a father's life, when he has to step aside and let someone else take care of his little girl and let me tell you when I first met Wes, I gave him hell and yet he's still standing tall. Wes really is a great guy, I don't think I could find anyone better for her and I'm glad it's him taking care of my baby girl. As the family has said before me here Sarah is the best, as all of our kids are, but Sarah just never forget that we love you always" Vince said before walking off with Linda.
Within the next two years, Sarah and Wes bought a house in Greenwich and an apartment in Chicago, but still spent the weekends in their New York apartment. They made trips to Chicago every now and then to make sure that all was running well at the hotel and they had started on a new project in New York, in which was expected to draw an even bigger crowd then the Chicago opening. Sarah laid on the bed reading when she heard Wes come home and up the stairs. "Your home early," she said putting the book down. "Why shouldn't I be," he smiled tossing his jacket on the chair and lying besides her. "Besides the most beautiful woman in the world is right here," "You're such an ass kisser you know that," she smiled, "I love your ass," he laughed as she lay there in his arms. "I'm so tired, this sucks." "Yeah but it will be soon," he smiled kissing her forehead.
Wes raced through the hospital doors, followed closely by Vince and Linda. "We're looking for our daughter" Vince said reaching the nurse's station. "More importantly I'm looking for my wife" Wes said. "Well, is you daughter the same as his wife" The nurse asked. "Yes, where is she? Quickly come on woman I don't have all day" "I need a name sir," The nurse said calmly. "Courier, Sarah." "Why weren't you with her?" Vince asked. "Why weren't you?" Wes asked Vince. "I was working, that's where I was suppose to be" "As was I, she told me she'd be fine with Stephanie" Wes said. "You still should have been there," Vince countered "Will the two of you shut up" Linda said, the nurse smiled and tried not to laugh, "Follow me Mr. Courier and sir you and your wife may have a seat over there" the nurse said taking Wes through some doors.
Stephanie, Vince and Linda sat waiting to hear any kind of news, and Shane was on his way in from New York and Marissa would be there any moment. "Mr. and Mrs. McMahon" a tall doctor approached them. "I've been sent here with the news that you're the new grandparents of a baby boy, Congratulations, in a few moments you'll be able to see your daughter," He smiled as he walked away. "Can you believe it, a boy? Another man to carry out the business." Vince smiled as they walked down the hallway. "You better watch out with that, I think Wes would kill you for saying that and not to mention you're going to spoil him," Linda laughed. "Me, You shouldn't be talking, you'll spoil him just as bad as I will" Vince laughed as they Turned the corner "I thought we would never see grandchildren waiting for Shane, and Steph doesn't seem in any kind of hurry to have kids." "This is the room" Linda said opening the door. Wes had his arm around Sarah, as she held the baby boy in her arms. "Mind if we come in" Vince said smiling. "Not at all" Sarah smiled. "He's so adorable" Linda smiled as Sarah handed her the baby. "He's going to be a wrestler, no doubt about it. So have you come up with a name?" Vince asked playing with the baby. "Actually, we have. Wes and I have talked about this and we would like to name him after you, dad, after all this is your first grandson" Sarah said. "And secondly my son will not grow up to be a wrestler" Wes said "You'll be destined to do great things with that name. Stick with grandpa and you will be the best" Vince smiled "The child can't even crawl and your talking about make him into a great wrestler, I should smack you" Linda laughed. "Well you could do that later, right now let me hold my grandson" Vince smiled "You do realize that from this point on our son will never have to worry about a things, he's going to spoiled by your parents" Wes smiled at Sarah Sarah laughed, "Yeah I know "So how you feeling?" Linda asked "Tired, extremely tired" Sarah said. "Well then we won't keep you up, Come on Vince we'll get something to eat and wait for Marissa and Shane," Linda said getting up. "Why don't you meet me down there?" Vince asked. "You know, I'll walk with you and get something myself" Wes said getting up from Sarah side. "I won't be long," he said kissing her forehead. "All right" she smiled Wes and Linda left and Vince pulled the chair closer to the bed. Vince smiled as he held the baby in his arms. "It's been so long since Steph was a baby; I forgot how great it is. Having a child is one of the greatest joys in life" he sighed, "after all these years, I still kick myself for letting you go all, I should have done something or at least tried" "Why would you worry about something so stupid as that? Really, I think we're as close as we could ever be, and nothing will change that" "I know but the fact of the matter is I still let you go and everyday I feel bad cause your one of the greatest joys in my life and I can't tell you enough how proud I am of you and how much I love you" The tears started to build up in Sarah eyes, "You know? Now I'm gonna cry" "You know its true and now you've blessed us with a grandson, the fact you want to name him after me, I couldn't be more honored." Vince smiled "Well now that I really made you cry, I go and I'll send Wes up" he said laying the sleeping baby down. "Dad, I just want to let you know, that with out you I wouldn't be where I am today. And I'm glad you came back for me and I love you too" Vince kissed her forehead "Get some rest, you need it, cause you won't sleep for the next twenty years" Vince walked out into the hall and found Wes half asleep in a chair. "Hey where's my wife?" he asked kicking the chair. "She's down in the cafeteria with Marissa and Stephanie" Wes said. "Your a very lucky man, you know that?" Vince smiled. "Vince, I'll always know how lucky I am," Wes said struggling to get to his feet. Vince laughed at him before giving him a hand "Get in there," he said giving him a push. Wes slowly walked in and sat on the chair besides her bed. "Sit here" Sarah said moving over, as Wes lay next to her. "Today, you gave me the greatest gift, I could never be more happy then I am right now and I truly am lucky to have you" he said as she rested her head on his chest. "Yeah, I know" she smiled. "And I certainly hope he has his father's good looks" "And he'll have your athletic talent, your charm, your drive for success and love for life" he smiled. "I so happy, look what we've created. Our son will be the luckiest kid in the world; he has every chance in the world to be what he wants" "And it would all be because he has you for a mother. You'll teach him all about the good things in life and then your father will try to put him in the business" Wes smiled. "Yeah there's no stopping that, But between the two of us I'm sure he'll turn out to be the best" Sarah smiled fighting the sleep. "You need to rest, get some sleep. I'll be here with you" Wes said. "I know you'll always be here" She said closing her eyes.
"You do this every time we have a wedding" Linda said from the doorway of Vince's home office. "You did it at Shane's wedding, at Stephanie's and now Sarah's.
