Wedding Day Bliss
Jax and Skye had planned their wedding quickly, partly because Skye wanted to wear a regular wedding dress and not a maternity one, it was hard to believe that the day was finally here, after all they had gone through, together and apart, they were going to become man and wife.
Some of the guests had already began to arrive, they were greeted by Jax and AJ along with some other family members. Alan and Rae both agreed that they would walk Skye down the aisle together and Monica put up no protest.Jax had been the key in the wedding planning, this was for Skye, and he would except nothing less than perfect for her. Anything she wanted she was going to get.
Skye Quartermaine sat impatiently in the bridal room of St. Timothy's. Her gown was white satin, strapless with a six foot train. Her ravenous red hair was up with diamonds sparkling through out. Her make up was natural and flawless. "Am I doing the right thing?" She asked out of the blue.
Rae knelt down infront of her, placed her stead hand over Skye's shaken ones, "Do you love him?"
Skye's eyes began to tear up, "Yes"
"Do you want to spend the rest of your life with him?"
"Yes"
"So do you think you're doing the right thing?"
"No"
Skye's words were a shock to her, "Why not?"
"Because I don't want to tie Jax down and I know that if we get married and have this baby that he'll always be tied to me and I don't want that for Jax."
"Have you talked about this with him?"
"No" Skye answered honestly
"So you want to spend the rest of your life with him and you love him you just don't want to marry him?"
"Right"
"Honey, Jax loves you and this baby".
"I know Mom but, Jax deserves so much better, more than I could ever give him".
Rae touched the tear running down her daughter's cheek, "Why do you think that?"
"I know it, I'll do something to mess things up and Jax being as loyal as he is will want to stay with me and I can't bare the thought of him throwing his life away on the count of me".
"Skye, it's a little late to back out now".
"I know but, I don't think I can go through with it".
"Skye, listen to me, you're strong and you can do this, you can have Jax's love forever, if you're strong enough to have this baby after they said it was impossible then you can have love".
Skye's spirit began to pick up, "You're right Mom, Jax and I are going to be married today and nothing is going to stop us".
"Okay, you finish getting ready, your Father and I will be waiting outside when you're ready".
"Alright".
Rae took a long look at her daughter, at first the were enemies and finding out they were mother and daughter was terrible news. They didn't have a great relationship but, it was a relationship.
As Rae exited the room Monica entered, "Monica, how are things going out there?"
"Things are running along great, right on schedule".
"That's good to hear"
"Are you okay?"
Skye put on a bright, cheerful smile, "Yes, I'm truly happy, Jax and I are going to get married and spend the rest of our lives together, there's nothing more I could ask for in this world".
"If anyone's entitled to happiness, it's you Skye".
Monica smiled as she stood in front of her stepdaughter, a year ago they hated each other, the thanksgiving food fight, the trouble with Janine and Edward was all proof of that. They weren't best friends now but, they were building a better relationship and learning how to be a real family.
"Thank you, Monica"
"I'm going to have a seat and the next time we speak, you'll be Mrs. Jacks"
Skye smiled, "I like the sound of that".
Monica left the bridal chamber and Skye was once again alone with her thoughts, "I'm doing the right thing, I'm doing the right thing" Skye repeated as she was speaking her thoughts aloud.
Outside the main church doors, Rae and Alan stood waiting for their daughter.
"I never thought I would have a daughter to give away" Alan spoke, breaking the silence.
"I never thought I would have a child" Rae confessed.
"Well, we can thank Father for that".
"Good old Edward, doing what he wants and always getting away with it, no matter what the cost is".
"But, Skye, was too high of a price, I wish I could have watched her grow up". Alan said regretfully.
"Me too" Rae agreed, "But here we are getting ready to give our daughter away".
"I never could have imagined in my wildest dreams".
Rae glanced down at her watch, "Skye should be coming out about now".
"She'll be here, women are always a little late". Alan joked.
"Ha ha, very funny Alan"
A few more minutes passed and still no sign of Skye, "Maybe we should go check on her" Alan suggested.
"Oh, God" Rae gasped.
"What?" Alan asked alarmed
"Skye, she was having second thoughts"
"It's called cold feet".
"No, she was talking about how, she didn't want to tie Jax down and that marrying her would ruin his life and how he deserved better".
"Rae, why didn't you say anything before?"
"Because, I talked to her about and she said that I was right, that Jax did love her and that nothing would stop them from being together".
"Maybe she's changed her mind" Alan said as he took off in direction of the bridal chamber, Rae following close behind him. As he approached the room, he began calling out, "Skye".
There was no answer as he turned the door knob and pushed it open. "Skye?" He called again. He saw nothing but, an empty room "Skye?" Rae called out.
Alan quickly checked the bathroom as Rae looked around the room searching for a sign of Skye. "Bathroom's empty". Alan announced walking back into the main room.
"I don't see any note or anything indicating that she left".
Alan walked over to the vanity, "Keep looking"
"There's got to be something"
Alan looked up as he felt a slight draft, the curtain was dancing in the air, with an open window behind it, "Rae, I think she left".
"Alan, that's impos........." Rae stopped mid sentence after noticing the curtain.
"What do we?" Rae asked
"We get to Jax quickly and tell him what's going on" Alan responded calmly.
Alan and Rae rushed back down the hall and as soon as they got to the church doors, they sprung open and the wedding march began to play. Everyone rose up for the bride to enter, turning their attention towards the doors but, there was no bride, only Rae and Alan.
