Six months later...
"I can't believe it's me!" Amy exclaimed when she looked at herself in the mirror.
"Honey, you look absolutely beautiful," Trish said as she came up behind her.
"Trisha's right, babe. You look like a princess," Lisa said, smiling.
Amy smiled at her two best friends through the mirror. She was dressed in a ivory strapless gown completed with a long ivory train and a 16 inch veil. Her long red hair was pinned up, her diamond necklace Hunter gave her on her birthday last year securely on and her diamond bracelet Cena gave her for her birthday two years fitted nicely around her wrist. On her feet were a pair of ivory high heeled sandals and a diamond anklet her mother gave her on her 18th birthday fitted comfortably around her ankle.
That's because today was the day she's been dreaming about since she was a little girl. The day she's been dreaming about all of her life. And, for once, she was about to exchange her vows with the man she truly loved.
She was getting married today. She couldn't be more happier.
Amy modeled her wedding dress in front of the full length mirror and smiled brightly. Her two best friends whistled in approval when she turned around and faced them.
"What do you think?" she asked them.
"You look beautiful," Trish and Lisa said together and they meant it.
"Thank you," Amy said. Then she turned back around and looked in the mirror once again. Suddenly, tears started falling from her eyes.
"Honey, what's wrong?" Trish asked when she saw Amy crying.
"I don't know. I mean, I'm supposed to be happy but something's missing," Amy sobbed.
"What's missing, Bella?" Lisa asked softly.
"My family. I wish my family was here. I wish my father would walk me down the aisle and give me away. I wish my mother would sit in front of the church and ramble on her little girl getting married. I wish my brother was standing with the groomsmen. But, thank to that jerk Bailey, it won't happen. I never had the chance to make peace with them," Amy finally broke down and admitted.
"We're so sorry, Bella. Losing your family must've been really hard for you to deal with. But, you know something? I think they know how you feel. They're looking down on you right now," Trish said while she hugged the bride.
"You think so?" Amy sniffed.
Lisa reached out and hugged her. "Honey, we know so. Christie, Mike and Billy know you loved them. Think of them as your guardian angels. They're gonna be looking over you all the time, okay?"
"You're right, ladies. Thank you for the wisdom. Now, I can go and marry Hunter without any more problems," Amy said with a smile.
"Atta girl. Well, we're gonna leave you alone for awhile so you can get your pre-wedding jitters out of your system. Holla at us when you're ready." Trish and Lisa left the dressing room, leaving Amy by herself. She looked in the mirror one more time before she reached down and grabbed her bouquet of red roses.
God, this is it. This is the moment I have been waiting for. I'm gonna marry the man of my dreams. I'm finally gonna be happy. I'm moving on with my life. I don't have to worry about Bailey coming after me ever again. I don't have to worry about living in fear anymore. You watched over me for so long and you gave me the strength to stand up for myself, she thought with a smile on her face.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in," she announced.
Vince McMahon popped his head through the door and smiled. "Are you ready, Amy?"
"Yes, I am," she said with a grin on her face. Then, after checking herself in the mirror one more time, she walked out of the dressing room, anxiously waiting to start her new life with Hunter.

Five minutes later...
His jaw dropped.
His eyes were wide open.
His hands became clammy.
When he saw Amy being walked down the aisle by Vince, he nearly had a heart attack. Just looking at the sight of his bride-to-be made him weak in the knees. Hunter knew from the moment he woke up this morning, he knew this woman was gonna turn some heads when they exchange vows and, as it turned out, she did just that.
Vince lifted her veil away from her face and planted a kiss on her cheek before he took his seat next to Linda. Hunter took his place next to Amy on the podium and winked at her before he took her hand into his.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today to witness the union of Amy Christine Dumas and Hunter Hearst Helmsley. If's there anyone, who feels why this couple should not be joined in holy matrimony, let them speak now or forever hold their peace."
No one in the room said a word.
"All right, then. At this time, Hunter and Amy will recite their own vows."
The couple turned to face each other and held hands. Amy smiled at the man she loved while Hunter winked at her.
"Amy Christine, my lover, my best friend, my everything. I love you so much. The day you came into my life was like a breath of fresh air. I knew when I held you in my arms, that this is where you wanted to be. And I knew when I kissed you, I wasn't about to let you go away from me. Even with the bad times, you still stood beside me. Even when the outside forces wanted us to split, we proved them wrong. Baby, since we've been together, I can honestly say that I had never loved any woman like the way I loved you. And, I hope and pray, from this day forth, that you and I continue to love and hold each other. I love you, baby. I just love you," Hunter stated with conviction.
Amy began to cry. She never felt so complete with a man like him before. But, when she looked into his chocolate brown eyes and saw the love dancing in them, she began to smile with pleasure.
"Hunter, I love you with everything I had. When I was going through my problems with Bailey, you stood beside me and you sacrificed yourself to protect me. You promised to protect me with everything you had and you made good on your promise. And I can honestly say that I had never loved anyone the way I love you. Honey, whenever I'm in your arms, I feel safe and secure. Whenever you professed your love to me, I feel like I'm floating on air. And, whenever you kiss and caress me, I feel like I'm gonna melt like butter. Baby, please believe me when I say that I'm gonna continue loving you, holding you, protecting you and cherishing you even after I'm buried six feet under," Amy recited through her tears.
Hunter planted a sweet kiss on her forehead before he leaned over and lightly kissed her lips. Then, he pulled back and looked deeply in her eyes.
"Hunter, do you take this woman as your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer until death do you part?"
"I do," Hunter said while he slid the gold branded wedding band on her finger, then he leaned down and kissed it gently.
"Amy, do you take this man as your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, in sickness and health, for richer or poorer until death do you part?"
"I do," she said through her tears as she slid the ring on his finger.
"By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss your bride."
The room erupted in a loud cheer as Hunter took Amy in his arms and kissed her passionately, slipping his tongue in her mouth. She burst out into more tears when they pulled apart.
"I love you, Mrs. Helmsley," he whispered.
Smiling, she replied, "I love you, too, Mr. King of Kings."
Final chapter will be up sometime this week! I can promise you that!
And, now, here's my thoughts:
First Stacy Keibler leaves to become an actress, then Trish's gonna leave to get married and now, it's a strong possibility that Lita will leave as well. I don't know what the hell's going on with the women's division right now but I do know this: if Lita does decided to leave when her contract expires in a few months, it won't be the same. Lita and Trish were the Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Rock of the women's division and losing them would be a fatal blow.
Don't get me wrong, though. I mean, Mickie James is doing a great job as the women's champion and Candice and Torrie are getting better in the ring. But, Trish and Lita were the reason why I loved women's wrestling so much. And, now, with them leaving (Lita possibly), I don't know if I'm gonna have the same respect for the women now. I mean, Victoria's knee is still bothering her, Beth Phoenix should've been back by now and the whole diva's search had become a waste of time (at least, for me)!
On the other hand, if Lita does leave, several things will have to happen, storyline wise. First off, either she turns against Edge or Edge turns against her. That's most likely to happen in the next month or two. And Secondly, with Trish leaving next month, Lita's prime to be the top diva in the women's division until she decides to go and pursue an acting career.
That's my opinion on this. I know I'm jumping to conclusions about her status with the company but, maybe leaving could be a good thing for her. She can start her own rock band and maybe she'll be a good actress (I saw her on Dark Angel and she kicked some serious ass)!
