Chapter Four

A night of celebration and love

After the small short wedding ceremony, everyone gathered at Lucky and Theresa's new penthouse in Harborview Towers for a small reception.

"To Theresa and Lucky, may the future bring you happiness, joy, and love," Ric said as he raised his glass in toast to the couple. Most of the glasses were filled with champagne, except Theresa and Emily's were filled with apple juice. Lucky didn't want anything to harm the twins. The twins that were now his children.

Glasses clinked together between the friends and family who were able to be there for the young woman and young man who had sworn to be together forever just an hour before.

Lucky smiled at the sight of his friends enjoying themselves before he and Theresa stepped out onto the balcony and looked out over the city. Theresa smiled at the sight of the city lights glittering before her.

"This feels so good, Lucky. Looking out over PC from our house is so different than looking down at Harmony. This feels so right," Theresa said.

"It feels different for me too, Resa. I've never truly seen the beauty of the night lights of PC before. Maybe this is what I needed. To marry you and become something I've wanted to be for a long time," Lucky said.

"I know. This feels so right to be your wife and to have your children. Maybe what I wanted for years with Ethan was just me living in a fantasy. This is no fantasy. This is the way it should be," Theresa said.

"This is definitely the way it should be. Our paths were leading us to this moment. Maybe that's why it all happened. Elizabeth and I weren't soulmates. Neither were Sarah and I nor Summer and I. It was always meant to be you and me," Lucky said.

Theresa gazed up at the face of her new husband and decided it was time for the most important words of her life. "I love you."

Lucky smiled. "I love you too, Resa. I've loved you for a long time. I just never expressed it."

Theresa walked into her husband's arms and placed her hand on the back of his head and pulled it down to hers. Lucky took the hint and kissed her passionately.

Carly watched her cousin and cousin-in-law through the doors of the balcony as they kissed, and smiled. She could see how they felt about one another. She could see the love between them when they had said their vows during the ceremony.

Sonny came over at that moment and looked out the doors and smiled. "They finally admitted it. They finally know how they feel about each other."

"Yeah, they did. I could see it when they said their vows, but they finally know. I definitely know, that because of that love, they will be together forever," Carly said.

"They've loved each other for years, but they've hid it for a long time. They were never able to admit it before. Either it was Resa and her dream about Ethan or Lucky was with Liz or Sarah or Summer. But I think this is the way it was meant to be," Sonny said.

"I agree with you, Sonny. This is fate. It took all this time and these circumstances for them to admit that they love each other. And I know it will not change. Nothing will tear them apart, ever," Carly said.

Ric came over at that moment and looked out the doors as well. "Maybe we should get them in here so everyone can see their feelings for themselves."

"Well, I know a good way for them to show that," Sonny said.

"How's that?" Ric asked.

"The first love song they ever danced to. The song that their feelings developed from in the first place," Sonny said.

"OK, go play it while Ric and I get them back in here," Carly said.

Sonny nodded and walked towards the stereo while Carly and Ric opened the doors to the balcony. "Hey you two! How about we get you two a first dance?" Carly yelled out to them.

Lucky laughed at his cousin. "Sure, cous. We'll be right in."

Carly and Ric waited by the doors while Lucky and Theresa kissed again before they walked back inside.

A moment later, the song began to play and Lucky and Theresa laughed a little. Sonny remembered so well the song that they had first danced to, the song they had fallen in love to. They moved to the middle of the space that had been cleared for dancing and began to slow dance as they had all those years ago.

I walk the wire every night

I can't decide between wrong and right

I've lost control over the things I do
