Chapter 24- The Wedding

Jordan's POV

"Farmboy, wake up, we are going to be late."

"For what?"

"Our wedding, now get out of bed" and I kissed him on top of the head. It took him a sec, but then he jumped straight up, I tried to stifle my laughing, but I just couldn't help it. His hair was all mussed up and he had on the most awful looking boxers I'd ever seen, can't believe I didn't notice that last night, reminds me of his ties, before I started picking them out that is. I headed to the other room to get the kids ready, we were all going to wear, white, except Woody, I'm very against white tuxes on grown men, not tails either, way too proper for me. I found the cutest dress for Em, no real lace, but some embroidery with a satin tie set at empire that was long and went well past her tiny feet, Jack had a little white suit, it was a little big for him, but respectable all the same, I was going to get ready at the church as was Woody, but it would just be easier if they were ready to go. "Woody, you coming?" I asked as I buckled them in their car seat.

"Ya, ya, just give one sec, only half of my face is shaved, unless you like it that way."

"Fine, finish, just hurry."

"OUCH!" I left the kids and ran for he bathroom.

"Are you ok?!" I yelled back, no answer. I got to the bathroom to see him holding a bit of tissue on his face that was quickly filling with blood. "Let me see." I shook his head no. "Oh come on you big baby." he frowned, I kissed him and he released the tissue. "Oh that's nothing big, bet it stings like the dickens though?"

"Tell me about it." he dead panned . We got him cleaned up and gathered everything and headed out to the car. "Jordan, are you forgetting something?" I looked around, my dress, his tux, the diaper bags, oh crap, the babies, I went to run up the stairs and found Woody right behind me. I grabbed Em and he grabbed Jack and we went back to the car and were on out way. Lily and Renee were supposed to meet me there to help me get ready. We pulled up and I recognized their cars. "Come on Jack, you get to hang with the men."

"What if he gets hungry?"

"We'll deal." Woody smiled, I can't believe I'm actually going to marry him, or anyone for that matter. I love him, but who would have ever thought that I, Jordan Cavanaugh would get married, let alone to a cop from Hickville, USA, but I am and I'm actually thrilled about it. I never believed in marriage, heck I never wanted kids before, but the thought of living without him and our children was too horrible to bear. This wasn't a two person union, for now it was a four person union and anyone else that happened to come a long was welcome to join in. I watched him walk towards the church, his tux in one are and Jack in the other, this couldn't be more perfect. Lily and Renee emerged from the building and came and helped me get my stuff together, I grabbed Em and we headed in as well.

"What time is it?"

"10:00," came the reply, but I'm not sure from which of the females surrounding me. Lily was working on my hair, I wanted it down, but she was curling every stand, just the way I used to when I had the time and wanted it to look just right. Renee was working on my makeup, something I didn't wear that often, but was informed if I didn't I would look like a ghost in all the pictures, so I gave in. They finished up just as Emily let out a long wail.

"Guess your hungry?" I asked while playing with her little hand. Then like clockwork I heard a knock at the door along with a slight whimpering, Jack was ready to eat too. Renee ran to the door and opened it just enough for the baby to be passed through. I could hear Woody trying to fight his way in.

"You are not coming in here." was her stern reply.

"I have seen her today you know."

"Not the point, we're at the church and you don't get to look until she walks down the aisle." and she practically slammed the door in his face.

"I didn't pin you as one for so much tradition."

"Well, sometimes it is just necessary." She brought Jack to me.

"Okay guys, lets see how fast we can do this, cause mom doesn't have a lot of time." They helped me get situated and I fed the babies with record speed, thank heavens. I handed Jack back to Renee and she went to take him to Woody, but as soon as she opened the door, one Woodrow Wilson Hoyt fell through the door. I handed Em to Lily and ran and hid.

"I'm sorry Jo, I just wanted to tell you before all the pomp and circumstance, how much I love you and our family, now I'm leaving and you can finish getting ready."

"I love you too." was all I could get out before the door shut behind him.

"Okay, lets get your dress on." Lily said as she handed it to me. I went behind the curtain and pulled it on.

"Can you?" was all I got out before Renee was doing up the back of my dress, then she placed the veil in my hair. "Ready to go?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." I smiled picked up Em and kissed her little face before handing her back to Renee. Lily opened the door and we headed towards the chapel. My dad was waiting for me. I took his arm and the doors opened. First went Lily, who was followed by Renee and Emily. I looked at Garret and he had the biggest grin on his face at seeing Em with Renee. He, himself was holding my little Jack. I could tell they were looking at each other, kinda sweet. My turn now, I took a deep breath and we walked into the chapel. I looked around, Lily had done a great job with the flowers, simple, but elegant, I loved it. The music started to play, but to my surprise it was not the wedding march. I looked at Woody with tears in my eyes as the I began to quietly sing the words to the music being played

Steel on Velvet, silk on stone

Sun-warm leather set against chrome

You're a contrast to what I've become

No one has touched me like you

Like you

You are in my arms breathless and sure

A barefoot ballet on a hardwood floor

So much in sync that we barely move

No one has touched me like

Like you

Red horizon at day's end

Brushing scarlet over your skin

Blushing places I long to kiss

No one has touched me like you

Like you

You are in my arms breathless and sure

A barefoot ballet on a hardwood floor

So much in sync that we barely move

No one has touched me like

Like you

White lace curtain opened wide

Single candle tremblin' with light

My bold passion suddenly shy

No one has touched me like you

like you

You are in my arms breathless and sure

A barefoot ballet on a hardwood floor

So much in sync that we barely move

No one has touched me like

Like you.

I couldn't believe he remembered. It was the song from up at the cabin, the same one that played in the background when our beautiful children were created. I loved that song, it seemed to describe us. I was trying so hard not to cry, but I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. I could see them glistening in his, he knew what I was thinking, we made our way down the aisle. My father lifted my veil, "I love you Jo, just be happy." He kissed my cheek and replaced the veil and place my hands into Woody's, Woody lifted my veil and place it back behind my head. The priest began the ceremony. I couldn't do anything, but look into Woody's sapphire blue eyes. Before I knew it, it was our turn, we had decided to write our own vows. Woody was first.

"I, Woody, take you Jordan Marie Cavanaugh to be my lawful wedded wife. Jo, I love you more than anything and would do anything to be with you, but I think you know that. I'm so grateful for you and for our children. I can't imagine my life without you. I've waited so long to be with you and I would have waited forever, glad I don't have to," he laughed through his tears, so did I, "but I would have. You are worth more than anything on this earth, and you have given me more than I could have ever asked for. I don't know where I'd be without you and I'm glad I don't have to. I'm looking forward to forever, because forever with you and our children is all I want."

"I, Jordan, take you Woodrow Wilson Hoyt to be my lawful wedded husband. Woody, you made me believe in love and family. I had never wanted one until I already had one in the making and that was thanks to you. Our family will always be my greatest accomplishment and that is because of you and what you made me see. You made me see that I could be loved and that I wanted to be, better yet you taught me how to love and to trust and just live life in the here and now. My mom will always be a part of me, but now it will be a positive part, because you stood by me through it all, I was running for so long and what made me stop was you and the gift you gave me in our children. So I, Jordan" I picked up Emily from Renee and took Jackson from Garret, "do take you and Emily and Jackson as my family, forever. We can do this and you made me believe that, I will love you forever because of that."

"You may now kiss the bride," He kissed me, short and sweet, I handed the babies back to their respective Godparents and grabbed Woody into a kiss that seared through me and I'm sure him. It was all we were going to be getting for a while, I might as well make it worth it, right? We finally came apart and he grabbed my hand and ran back down the aisle leaving everyone else in our dust.

I think it needs a reception, and I'm toying on seeing Jordan and Woody handle 2 babies, we'll see. Oh the possibilities. Please review, thanks.
