Wow...Thanks for all your responses! I'm so sorry this is also a short chapter, but it will get better soon. I promise. I'm depressed right now, so things aren't going so well in the writing department. At any rate, here is Chapter Six!!

"Not really...Jack." I said sadly. "And drop the Susannah tone!"

Jack Slater grinned sheepishly. "Sorry, Suze."

I nodded and ruffled Jack's blonde-ish hair. How he ended up blonde, I don't know. "What happened?"

"Lindsey told me what Paul did." Jack said, his little voice going quiet. "And big brother or not, you don't do that and expect to get away with it." I nodded. "So I told Lindsey I was going to go to the police, or you and Father Dom because the police can help, yanno? But Paul overheard me- since I'm staying with Grandpa Slater for your wedding today- and decided that wasn't going to happen."

Anger flowed through me, white hot and murderous. Paul has now killed not only his girlfriend, but his unborn child, and his little brother! I think this warrents a "What the bloody hell?!"

I blinked back a few tears. "Dammit. Have I mentioned how much I hate Paul?" Jack and Lindsey both nodded.

"Well, I just wanted to share this with you, Suze." Lindsey said. "I suppose we'll see you in two hours at the beach?"

"Yeah. But go warn Father Dom, in case Paul shows up." I said quietly. Jack and Lindsey nodded before dematerializing.

I felt way guilty about Jack's death as Gina came back in and fixed my hair. If I hadn't gotten all "Oh, let's invite Jack since he still writes to me and was a sweet little guy" then he'd still be alive. He seemed OK, and more outgoing than he had been alive, especailly calling me Susannah for no reason whatsoever other than to annoy me.



"Father Dom, are you alright?" I asked, holding my dress up to protect it from the sand of the beach. I was waiting for Brad and Jake to lay down a carpet at the front of the aisle where Jesse and I would stand for the ceremony. "You look kind of sad. Anything other than the obvious bugging you?"

The obvious being Jack standing around, taking everything in.

"Oh no, Susannah, I'm fine." Father Dom said. He patted my hand. "Is your father going to walk beside you down the aisle?"

Now it was my turn to look sad. My father had shown up the night before to say he wouldn't be coming. He dematerialized before I could ask why, and had promptly burst into tears. This morning, I had asked Andy- somewhat awkwardly- if he wanted to walk me down.

"Of course, Suze." Andy said. He pulled me into a bear hug, that somehow wasn't weird. "I would have understood if you didn't want me to, but I'd be honored."

"No." I said. "Andy is though."

Father Dom nodded. Gina and CeeCee immediately bombarded me and took me back to a tent at the back of the aisle. Andy was waiting for us, since the ceremony was due to start soon.

The whole thing went perfectly. Everyone- including Paul, who'd shown up unexpected and unwanted- was well behaved. Father Dom said a lot of words, Jesse said, "I do.", I said, "I do." and we were married.

The reception/graduation party was perfect as well. People danced, listened to music, ate, congradulated us more times than I can count, and generally had fun.

Until the power in the hall we were in went out.

And I felt someone grab me from behind.

And was then knocked out.
