A/N: I know, I know. I haven't updated for a while. But I do have a life other than fan fiction you know.

Just kidding! But I did have school all month! But I'm back now and that's all that matters. Plus that, I'm taking an English course to improve my writing. Oh and remember in chapter three when I said I had never been in a romantic relationship? Well, that is now un-true. As of two weeks, I had a boyfriend. Had, as in past tense, as in, as of two weeks ago, he's splits-ville! Though the slime-ball (or as Mr. Zahos, my Gov and Econ teacher says, Scum de le Scum) still won't leave me alone! I swear, if he touches me one more time, I'm going to sick my big football playing friend Milton on him! Ok, ok, maybe I won't. But I'll still send him to the office! Unwanted physical contact can be labeled as sexual harassment, you know.

One more thing, this is the last chapter. Sorry! But I'm working on another full length story called "Mr. Monk and the Maid". Synopsis: Monk takes in a pregnant woman and hires her as his maid.

I hope you guys will like that one as much as this one.

Now, to the shout outs!

Amymimi (for chapters 6, 7, 8 and 9): First off, I love your new story! Second, Thanks for saying that I seem to be reading Monk's mind perfectly. I'm on fire!

Third, yes, Hitch is the character played by Will Smith. Since you haven't seen the movie yet, I can tell you without revealing too much, that it is hilarious! "Personally, I find that quite hilarious." – Jason, EMT.

Fourth, I too believe that Monk is a tough guy under pressure. He may be a "scaredy-cat" most of the time, but when it counts and the chips are down, BOOM! He's there!

Misha: Sorry for the cliff hangers, but it made you come back didn't it? No seriously, I am sorry for the evil cliff hangers. I hope you like this chapter!

bringirl2001: I think Natalie maybe insane. You're right! Who in their right mind would reject "The Monk"?

Katydidit: First off, I'm glad you liked the minister and (more importantly) that you enjoyed the last chapter. Second, sorry I didn't update sooner, but stuff happens.

Chapter Ten: Stop That Wedding!

As Randy and the minister were talking, a young woman with a book in her hand saw them from across the room and a confused and bemused look crossed her face. She crossed the room, determined to find out the answer to her question. When she reached them, she cleared her throat the way only a woman who is angry could. Randy looked up, and smiled sheepishly. "Uh. . .Hi?" He said.

"Excuse me but, who are you and why isn't he outside?" She pointed to the overweight minister beside her. Randy stood up and extended his hand for the young woman to shake. "I'm Randy." He introduced himself. The woman didn't do anything except stare an angry hole into Randy's soul. After a moment, she turned to the minister. "Sir, they need you in the courtyard - now." At that, she gave Disher one last nasty look and left. He sighed and mumbled under his breath, "I hope this goes well."

I ran as fast I could. I think I might have gotten lost a couple of times, because I once ended up at the parking lot.

Once I got directions form a hotel employee, I headed off towards the courtyard.

About ten minutes later, I saw rows and rows of white, wooden folding chairs and heard a booming voice say "If there is a reason that this two should not be wed, speak now or forever hold your peace." I ran even quickly than I had been before and yelled as loud as I could "No! Natalie don't! Don't marry him!"

I heard the wedding guests gasped as I ran down the aisle. Natalie turned around, as did Danny. "What is wrong with you!" Danny demanded of me. He walked towards me menacingly. Though part of me wanted get away, the other part of me stared at Danny bravely. I must be nuts!

"You-You won't get away with this, Haze." I told him, still maintaining eye contact. He looked surprised at first, but then smirked at me.

"Oh?" he said. He laughed and pulled Natalie to his side by grabbing her hand and harshly pulling her. He pulled out a gun from inside his tux and aimed it at Natalie's head. The guests gasped again and even screamed, and Natalie struggled to escape. But she couldn't. It really scared me and made me ache to see the strong woman become so weak and give up. I growled at him and started at him, but he cocked the gun. "Don't even think it, Monk," he threatened as he stroked Natalie's hair. "Or my lovely bride here becomes a corpse bride."

I broke eye contact with Danny when I heard something. I looked over Danny's shoulder and saw Captain sneaking up behind the homicidal nut case. I smiled a little and Danny saw it. "What are you smiling at?" He was about to turn around when the captain grabbed the gun and started to wrestle it out of his hands. Natalie was finally able to fight back and gave Danny a hard, swift kick at. . .well. . .below the belt. Danny let go of the gun and fell to ground - in a fetal position. Stottlemeyer knelt down and slapped handcuffs on Danny.

Natalie looked at Danny for moment, then at me. She rushed to me and hugged me tight. "Thank you." she whispered in my ear.

"For what?" I asked, as I pulled back to look at her.

"For knowing that Danny was bad news. . .and for not letting me marry him. . .even when I was so terrible to you."

I pulled her close to me and stroked her hair. I smiled as I said, "Two way street."

She looked back up at me and smiled, too. "Two way street." A moment of silence passed between us before Natalie said something I thought I'd never hear her say. "Adrian, I now realize who I love." she stopped and I looked at her, anticipating the rest of her statement. "You."

Something came to my mind. A very brilliant idea that I just had to go through with. I let go of Natalie, but held her hands in mine. I then knelt down on the ground, my heart beating madly. "Natalie Jane Teeger. . ." I paused and watched Natalie's face as her eyes widened in surprise. "Will you marry me? Right here? Right now?"

She looked. . .shocked. "Here? Now?" she asked. "Adrian, this is so unlike you. This is way too spontaneous for you."

I became afraid. Was she rejecting me? "I-is that a no?" I asked.

She smiled lovingly at me and shook her head. "No its not that." She gave her head one last shake. "Of course I'll marry you." She bent down and gave me a gentle kiss.

I broke the kiss after a moment and jumped off the ground, pulled Natalie into my arms and twirled her around in a circle. I stopped suddenly and said, "What about Ambrose?" I shook my head and smiled eagerly. "I'll call him."

". . .And by the power invested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife." I smiled at Natalie, she smiled at me. "You may now kiss the bride."

And I did just that.

A/N: The end! What were expecting some big musical number?
