Chapter 18: The Greatest Day.
Several things had changed from their last attempt at walking down the aisle. Most notably in the wedding party.

On Ron's side: Drakken and Monkey Fist were now standing with Felix and Brick. Felix was still the best man, with the others acting as ushers. Drakken looked the part with a matching tuxedo, while Monty had opted for a formal Kimono.

On Kim's side: Monique was still maid of honor, while Shego had been added to the bridesmaids. Shego had wanted to wear a green formal dress, but had given up in favor of the powder blue dress matching the others.

Tara had been a little uneasy having been coupled up with Monty Fiske, but he had allayed those fears when he bowed to her before asking for her hand as they walked to the front of the chapel. She thought how handsome he looked in his formal blue silk Kimono. A twinkle in her eye as she stole a sideways glance told the mischief behind her eyes.

Kim felt as though she were floating on a cloud as her father placed her hand in Ron's. Try as she may she was having trouble keeping her voice from wavering during the vows. Every time she would recite Ron would gently squeeze her hand in reassurance. Kim was glad Ron had her by the hand when he began to recite his vows to her she felt herself begin to tremble, his voice seemed to cut right to the core of her being as though he was speaking only to her.

As quickly as it started it came to an end. Kim remembered saying her vows and Ron saying his, but it all seemed a blur as he swept her up in his arms after hearing "You may now kiss the bride."

Rabbi Katz began, "We would now like to present, joined in love before almighty God…"

And Pastor Smith finished, "…Mr. and Mrs. Ronald Adrian and Kimberly Ann Stoppable."

Kim had never seen Ron smile so widely, she thought for a moment the corners of his mouth might meet behind his head. As they turned to be presented to the families and friends she pulled him close again into an even deeper kiss to the delight of the audience.

"Boo-yah!" was all Ron could say as he came back up for air.

Both sets of parents came to the front and stood to the side of the newlyweds.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, "The senior Mr. Stoppable addressed their friends, "We are sorry that we won't be having a reception today. With it being Christmas we felt even this might be a bit much for everyone's holiday plans. James…"

"We will be holding a get together later this week. I will see that you all get an invitation, and thank you all for joining us for this special day in all our lives."

A collective gasp rose from the sanctuary when Ron dropped to one knee. His breathing turned rasp and labored, and his face had gone pale.

Mrs. Dr. Possible ran to his side and began to check his pulse.

"I'm alright Dr. P. I'm just feeling a little fatigued." Leaning closer he whispered in her ear, "Just a little help back to my feet, please."

Kim held him with a fearful gaze. 'Not so soon. You can't take him now. He's mine now, you can't have him.'

Her mother looked to her with a subtle smile and silently mouthed, 'He's OK.'

The wedding party made its way back to the Possible home shortly after noon to find the house had received an unannounced visitor while they were away. Dr. Director in her omniscient position as commander of Global Justice had learned of the wedding and had her agents provide a sumptuous feast for their return. Once everyone had their fill of dinner, good-byes were made as the families separated for the remainder of the holiday festivities.

Ron felt more than a little guilty that he had no presents to give during the exchange, which only intensified when presents for him were brought out from under the tree. He looked more than a little uncomfortable when the first package was brought over and set in his lap.

"I really can't accept this Mrs. P. I didn't have a chance to get any presents before I got back."

Mr. Possible broke the encroaching silence. "Nonsense Ronald, you have given to this family more than could ever be wrapped in any package or tied with any bow. You have given to us a daughter, a sister, and now a son-in-law. You gave to us our daughter by watching over her and keeping her safe in the most harrowing of situations, you have also made her happier than I have seen her in quite a long time." The tears could be seen threatening to blind him, "Make my Kimmie-cub happy as long as you can because I know your spirit will watch over her and keep her safe for a long time to come."

Ron sat speechless. Slowly he looked in to his new wife's' eyes, tears glistening on her cheeks.

"You gave to me so many gifts over the years, and this year you provided the biggest one yet. Just sit back and hold me, be here with our family, just be." Kim whispered as she laid her head on his shoulder.

"I knew there had to be another reason you loved me KP." Kissing her cheek softly.

After opening all the presents and finishing dinner, Ron and Kim decided to cleanup the kitchen to the chagrin of Mrs. Possible. Kim working in the kitchen wasn't always the best thing to see. Ron was washing dishes and Kim was drying and putting them away. Having just put the last serving platter away, Kim returned to the sink and slid her arms around his waist.

"What do you say we take a nap when we finish up in here?" Kim cooed into his ear.

"I'm feeling better now KP…" he paused a moment."Do you mind if I still call you that or would you rather KS?"

"Call me by what ever you feel is right; just remember when you introduce me to people that I am now Mrs. Ronald Stoppable."

Reaching over the sink he hung up the rag and dishtowels to dry. Gently turning around in his wife's arms he leaned down and held her tight against him. Caressing her hair with a light hand he kissed her forehead.

"Ron… let's go take a short nap. You were pretty fatigued at the church this morning." Her voice became playfully sultry, "You're going to need your energy tonight."

"Why is tonight going to be so different than any other night?"

Kim gave him a gentle, but firm swat on his rear. "You've got another present waiting for you."

His Ronness took over as he pulled his wife, how he loved that, in close for another round of tongue jousting. Just as they were about to meet they heard their names being called from the living room.

"Kimmie, Ronald would you come in here a minute? There is someone here to see you." Mr. Possible called with a slight laugh in his voice.

A short and rounded gentleman stood as they entered the room. He had a familiar look with his light colored sweater and light brown slacks. His glasses sparkled in the light of the Christmas tree. Gently he held out his hand to the two young heroes. "It has been a long time Miss… excuse me, Mr. and Mrs. Stoppable."

Kim spotted his monogram on the sweater. A flamingoat. "Mr. Paisley, what are you doing here." Moving over to the couch she motioned for him to retake his seat.

"Well…" Paisley began, "I have been following your exploits for a while now, and when I heard about your husbands illness, I couldn't help but be moved. I never got to repay you for your rescue all those years ago. So… here I am, a little late, but I would like to do something for just the two of you."

"Mr. Paisley, it's a very nice gesture, but Kim and I have everything we could want." Ron squeezed Kim's hand. "I know I do."

"Please as a small gesture from one of your oldest and longest standing rescues. Let me do just this one little thing."

Both Kim and Ron blushed, but Kim got to the starting gate first. "We never used any of the favors for ourselves. I mean we used them to get around the world to help others."

"It was never about personal gain Mr. Paisley." Ron finished.

Paisley sat forward to the edge of his seat and looked both teens in the face, "I would hope that in this one instance, you might consider this not a favor for you, but a favor for me. I never had children of my own, and with all the money and wealth I accumulated over the years, let me just this once make your lives a little bit brighter."

Ron lost his composure at that; tears ran down his cheeks. He had done all he could for others most of his life, at great personal risk most of the time, and yet no one had ever done anything just for them. He had gone around the world to reform Kim's foes, to make her life free of worry and pain, at the cost of his last few months of life. Now here was someone willing to help make his just a little happier.

Realizing Ron's pain Kim threw her arms around his shoulders and pulled his head onto her shoulder. "It's all right Ron…It's alright, go ahead I'm here." Kim looked back to their benefactor, "On behalf of my husband and myself, we accept your gracious offer."

Paisley stood before them and placed a gentle hand on their shoulders. "I will have my driver return for you when you are ready to go, here is the number to call." He placed a card in Kim's hand as he turned to go.

"But Mr. Paisley, where are you sending us?" Kim asked.

"I have a small villa in the mountains out north of town. I don't get up there very often. It's kind of smaller than I'm used to, but you should find it most comfortable. I've had my staff ready it for your arrival and the house is stocked for as long as you would like to stay. You may invite your friends and family if you would like, however I would hope that you would take a couple of days and consider it as your official honeymoon lodge. It's only fifteen rooms on a remote mountain top, but I thought you might enjoy getting away from things for a little while."

Kim had all she could do, consoling Ron, and trying to stifle the tears forming in her own eyes. Paisley stopped at the doorway, turned and smiled. Kim was only able to mouth her appreciation as he turned to go 'Thank You…'.

Mr. P and Drakken accompanied Ron back to his home to gather some clothes and retrieve his overnight case. Monty and Duff had been shocked at the honeymoon getaway that had literally appeared from nowhere. Monty just snickered when Drakken told him about the honeymoon lodge. Duff just laughed at Ron's mile wide grin as the two began making risqué comments.

Ron said his good byes to his parents and told them he would call them in a couple of days. Ron began to blush profusely when his mother took him by the arm and began to lead him into the kitchen. Luckily his father intervened before Ron was lost for the remainder of his honeymoon. Silently he hoped Kim was having better luck with her packing.

"Princess… you're not going to take that, are you?" Shego inquired.

"Yeah. It's my honeymoon Shego."

"Well I thought we might like to do a little skiing while we are there." As she grabbed the sweater.

Shego returned to her rummaging through the suitcase. "What do we have here Kimmie?" as she pulled a small box from the bottom of the bag.

"Gimme that Shego." As she dove for the package.

Shego only had to move a step back out of Kim's reach as she opened the box. Shego's cheeks held a bright blush as she slammed the lid closed. "Where did you? When did? Never mind… that is just sick and wrong, no that's wrong/sick Kimmie, I didn't expect for you to even think of this. Does your mother know about this?"

Now it was Kim's turn to blush.

"Actually Shego, we got it while we were shopping for Kim's original wedding." Ann said coming up the stairs. "We saw it but Kim was so embarrassed about getting it while we were there I went back afterwards and bought it for her. I gave it to her after the bridal shower."

"You have your Red Cross first aid certification up to date Kimmie…" Shego teased.

"What do you mean?"

"Well…when your husband of the last few hours sees you in that he is going to need recessatation. Most assuredly mouth to mouth recessitation." Shego chuckled.

Shego brought out one of the bags for Kim as her mother was giving her some last minute advice. The bright hue of pink in her cheeks brought a wide grin to Shego's face. Even implied revenge was better than nothing.

The men returned shortly with Ron sporting an equally shaded face, matching his wife's. Bags were stowed in the trunk as friends and family said their farewells. Just as they were shutting the trunk a pair of late arrivals ran up, Bonnie and Tara.

"Hold up There a minute. Kim we have something you are going to need." Bonnie placed a small package in her hand. "This has worked well for me, I know you probably won't need it, but I thought every little bit helps."

Kim opened the box to reveal Bonnies signature perfume. Kim just looked at the girls with an incredulous stare.

Bonnie leaned in close and whispered in her ear, "It's sure to rev his motor even in sub-zero weather." A devilish grin crossing her face.

Kim and Bonnie glanced over to where Tara had Ron trapped against the car. Ron had a look of panic in his eyes as Tara threw her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly. Kim just smiled setting Ron at ease.

"Ron, just make sure you take care of yourself up there. Don't let Kim wear you out too much." Tara looked back over her shoulder toward Kim and Bonnie. "Sorry Kim, but you we didn't have an opportunity to prepare for this wedding, and there is something I wanted to do for a long time now, but I never got the chance." Tara quickly turned around to a surprised Ron and kissed him.

Ron looked like he was going to bolt from the scene in terror, fearing Kim's response. A soon as Tara loosed her grip on Ron he quickly checked for low flying wives. Kim just stood there shaking in laughter. Her laughter soon ended when Bonnie sauntered up to a still stunned Ron and performed a repeat of what Tara had just inflicted on her husband, this time slow and sultry, and in no hurry to stop.

"Bonnie do you mind, this one is mine." Kim snarled through gritted teeth. "You had your chances before this. Now step away from the husband and nobody gets hurt."

"Calm down Kimmie, Ron is all yours. We just never got a chance to embarrass him after the wedding this morning, not to mention Tara was the only one who ever thanked Ron for saving us at Wannaweep. When we heard about your honeymoon we decided to get it over with before you left."

Tara looked rather sheepish, "Yeah Kim, you've got him all to yourself from now on. It was all in good fun, don't hate us forever, please?" Tara leaned in close to Kim and whispered. "Ron means a lot to us too."

Kim could only smile at the truth as she hugged Tara setting her friend at ease. Bonnie looked slightly afraid when Kim approached her and wrapped her arms around her one time adversary. Tears could be seen running down both girls' cheeks as Kim hurried into the limousine.

Ron took a seat beside Kim as the driver closed the door. Kim slid over closer to her husband and rested her head on his shoulder. Snuggling up closer he took her hand in his and sighed deeply.

"I don't know how this will end Kim… but I'm glad you're here with me." He looked deeply into her eyes, "Now I know it will all be perfect."
