Starting Over Chapter 4: Devastation and Wedded Bliss Part Two, a passions fanfic

Just a little note, the vows in this chapter are the exact same ones that Luke and Laura said during their wedding and the rings are given with the words from Scott and Laura's wedding. I know, I took them straight from my DVD.

Chapter Four

Devastation and Wedded Bliss

Part Two

"Mama, you have got to be kidding! She's getting married!" Luis yelled, unbelieving of what his mother had just told him.

"It's true mijo. Theresa is marrying Lucky in a small ceremony tonight and he is going to be the twins's father," Pilar told her son.

"But those are Gwen and Ethan's children!" Luis exclaimed.

"No, they are not. Eve told me earlier that they are Theresita's children," Pilar told him.

"Then who is the father?" Paloma asked from her chair.

"Fox is. But Theresita doesn't want him to know. After what has been happening with Whitney, I can understand that," Pilar told her children.

"Yeah, she's going to hurt him this way. By marrying Lucky, she's showing Fox that she doesn't need him and also saying that she doesn't want her children around him and that someone else can be a father to her children," Paloma said.

"I just hope it's going to last for a long time. Theresa has had enough heartbreak for a lifetime. First Ethan, than Fox, than losing little Ethan to Gwen and Ethan. It's already too much for her, she doesn't need anymore," Luis said.

"Dearly beloved, we are gathered today, before God and these witnesses, to join Lucas and Theresa in holy matrimony. Marriage is a blessed sacrament and should not be taken lightly, but seriously and with a loving heart and soul."

"Lucas, repeat after me. I, Lucas Lorenzo Spencer Jr…"

"I, Lucas Lorenzo Spencer Jr…"

"Take thee, Theresa Maria Lopez-Fitzgerald…"

"For my lawful wedded wife…"

"To have and to hold from this day forward…"

"For better, for worse…"

"For richer, for poorer…"

"In sickness and in health…"

"To love and to cherish…"

"Till death do us part…"

"And thereto I pledge thee my troth."

"And thereto I pledge thee my troth." Lucky finished, smiling at his bride.

"Now Theresa, repeat after me. I, Theresa Maria Lopez-Fitzgerald…"

"I, Theresa Maria Lopez-Fitzgerald…"

"Take thee, Lucas Lorenzo Spencer Jr…."

"For my lawful wedded husband…"

"To have and to hold from this day forward…"

"For better, for worse…"

"For richer, for poorer…"

"In sickness and in health…"

"To love and to cherish…"

"Till death do us part…"

"And thereto I pledge thee my troth."

"And thereto I pledge thee my troth." Theresa finished her vow with a smile on her face.

"The rings please," the priest requested.

Theresa turned and handed her bouquet to Carly and Carly gave her Lucky's ring. Lucky turned to Nikolas, who handed him Theresa's ring. The two placed the rings on the bible, where the priest blessed them. Then Lucky took Theresa's ring as they turned toward one another.

"Lucas, repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed…"

"With this ring, I thee wed…"

"In token and pledge…"

"Of my constant faith and abiding love."

"Of my constant faith and abiding love," Lucky finished as he placed the ring on Theresa's left ring finger.

"Theresa, repeat after me. With this ring, I thee wed…"

"With this ring, I thee wed…"

"In token and pledge…"

"Of my constant faith and abiding love."

"Of my constant faith and abiding love," Theresa finished as she placed the ring on Lucky's left ring finger.

"By the power vested in me by the sovereign state of New York, I now pronounce you husband and wife. Lucky, you may kiss your bride."

Lucky didn't hesitate. He lowered his head to Theresa's and they shared the sweetest kiss they had ever experienced. When they parted, they had the brightest smiles on their faces.

"I present, for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Lucas Spencer Jr.!"

"Are you sure we shouldn't tell Fox that the twins are his?" Gwen asked as she and Ethan walked in the gardens.

"Yes. Pilar told me that Theresa doesn't want him to know. She wants him to be happy with Whitney, if that is what he wants," Ethan told her.

"God, is that messed up. No wonder Chad is having a problem with them. The woman he loves more than anything ends up being his sister and opens up the door for Fox to pursue her, which Chad doesn't like," Gwen said.

"Yeah, he is messed up," came Sheridan's voice at that moment from up ahead. "He won't know what he's given up for a long time."

"Yeah, he won't be a father to his children at all," Gwen said. "They won't have a father."

"Yes, they will. Luis just told me that Theresa's getting married tonight to her friend Lucky Spencer and he's going to be the father of the twins. His name will be on the birth certificates," Sheridan explained to them.

"She's getting married! Why? Did he suggest it at all?" Ethan asked.

"No. She did and he agreed to it. By now, I am sure the simple ceremony is over with and she is now Mrs. Lucky Spencer. I hope that their marriage lasts forever," Sheridan said.

"Yes. I hope that their friendship can turn into a lasting love that will keep them together forever. Theresa deserves that happiness," Ethan said with a smile.

"I hope so, as well," Luis said as he came up from behind his fiancé. "Resa deserves to be happy and hopefully she can have that with Lucky."
