Chapter 12: I Do
Kira stood in front of the mirror with a sigh. Today was the day. Today, she was going to marry the love of her life that was also the father of her baby. Kimberly came in with a smile. "Kira, you look beautiful," she commented. Kira turned to look at her cousin with a smile.
"Thank you, Kim, this means so much," she told her.
Kimberly embraced her with a smile. "Anytime, Kira," she assured her. Kira sighed as she backed up and looked in the mirror. The dress wasn't fancy, but it was perfect.
She was wearing white buckle high heels, her anti-fancy wedding gown, the necklace Connor bought for her birthday the year before, and instead of a veil, she had a tiara on her head.
The dress was made of silk and satin, it had a belt going around her waist, spaghetti straps, a zipper in the back, and spaghetti straps.
Kimberly was wearing light pink high heels, a pink dress, a necklace Tommy bought for her for Christmas, and her hair was tied in a half-ponytail.
The dress had spaghetti straps, zipped up in the back, a slit going up to her knee, and it was made of silk.
They looked over at the clock and Kira took a deep breath. "Are you ready?" She asked.
"Yeah," Kira replied.
She handed Kira her small bouquet of flowers before both girls left.
Connor was standing at the altar waiting for his bride to come down the aisle. Everything was going perfect. They were having their wedding at the cyber café and Hayley was glad to close her café up for her friends. For the people that came, it was just the Ninja Rangers and Connor's family. It was his brother as his best man, Ethan, and Trent were his groomsmen. Kira's bridesmaids were Tori, Hayley, and Kimberly, who was her maid-of-honor. Cassidy and Devin were recording the wedding.
The music started and Kira started down the aisle. Tommy was going to give her away. The minister stood on the stage waiting. Trent and Ethan had steps made specially for that day. Each young man was wearing their Ranger colors for their ties. Connor smiled as he came down the steps to greet his soon-to-be wife. "Who gives this woman to this man?" The minister asked.
"I do," Tommy replied.
He placed a kiss on Kira's cheek before placing her hand in Connor's. He then held onto their hands. "Take care of each other and love each other forever," he advised. Then he sat down as the ceremony continued on.
Then it came time for the vows. "Connor Lee McKnight, do you take Kira Ann Ford to be your wife? Will you love, honor, and cherish her from rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, and until death do you part?" The minister asked.
"I do," Connor replied.
"And do you, Kira Ann Ford, take Connor Lee McKnight to be your husband? Will you love, honor, and obey him from rich or for poor, in sickness and in health, forsaking all others, and until death do you part?" The minister repeated.
"I do," Kira replied.
The rings were presented and Connor held Kira's hand up as he slipped a ring onto her finger. "With this ring, I thee wed," he vowed. Kira took the other ring and held Connor's hand up as she slipped the ring onto his finger.
"With this ring, I thee wed," she vowed.
They smiled at each other as he held onto her hands. "By the powers invested in me in the state of California, I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride," the minister announced. Connor wrapped his arms around Kira's waist and kissed her. Kira wrapped her arms around his neck as she kissed him back with a smile. "And to all who witnessed, I present to you Mr. and Mrs. Connor Lee McKnight," the minister announced. Everyone clapped for them and then they congratulated them.
Later that afternoon, Tommy and Kimberly pulled the newly weds aside. "What's going on?" Connor asked. Tommy smiled at them before revealing plane tickets. Kira took the tickets and looked at them.
"We spoke to Elsa and she agreed that you two should take a little break. Speaking that spring break officially starts tomorrow, those tickets are for your honeymoon to Miami," Kimberly informed.
Kira gasped as she embraced Kimberly. Connor shook Tommy's hand with a grin. "Thanks you guys, we really appreciate this," Connor commented.
"You guys have been under a lot of stress lately. A little break is just what you need. Don't worry, Christopher will be well taken care of," Tommy assured them.
Kira smiled as she embraced Tommy. "Thank you," she told him. He patted her back before letting her go.
"Anytime, Kira," he answered.
Kira embraced Connor with a smile on her face. Connor hugged her back and kissed the side of her head.
Before the two newly weds went to go on their honeymoon, they went to see their son.
Christopher was fast asleep in his incubator when his parents went to see him. Kira reached into the incubator and held her son's hand. "Dream sweet dreams, sweetie. Mommy and daddy will be back in a few days," she murmured. Connor placed a hand on her shoulder and then they left, knowing that their son was safe.
