A/N: Thanks for reading. Glad you all enjoyed it.

The four of them were laughing over dinner the next night. The papers were consumed with stories about Ryan's arrest and Leo's return from the dead, so Zach closed the restaurant at the casino so they could have some dinner in peace. They were sipping on drinks when Zach saw Edie out of the corner of his eye. He excused himself and walked through the empty dining room and through the door of the restaurant. Sitting outside was the person he had been waiting for since his late night call last night.

'She looks nervous. I've never seen her look nervous ever' he thought to himself, smiling as she looked up at him. She twiddled with her fingers, unsure of what to do. He sat down next to her on the bench, waiting for her to feel comfortable.

"Thanks for calling" she whispered.

"Greenlee, it's the least I could do. Lord knows I didn't want you to see him in the paper without warning."

"And he's in there?" she asked, staring at the doors he had just come through.

Zach just nodded and waited, wanting her to make the first move. Slowly, Greenlee pushed herself off the bench, running her hands over her skirt, taking long breaths. "OK" she said to no one in particular. Zach quickly opened the door and led her inside.

"Looks like we have one more for dinner" Zach said as they rounded the corner. The conversation immediately ended as Greenlee laid eyes on Leo for the first time in over three years. Elizabeth and Kendall both stepped back from Leo, giving him room. The two of them just stared at each other. He looked her up and down, drinking her in. When he finally choked out her name, she dropped her purse and ran to him, throwing her arms around his neck and he pulled her off the floor and held onto her like his life depended on it.

Elizabeth slid up next to Zach. "You did this?"

"I had to" he said, never taking his eyes off the reunited couple. "I owe Greenlee that much." Elizabeth just nodded and slugged Zach on the arm, smiling brightly at him.

Kendall watched Greenlee and Leo from the bar, stunned at Greenlee's appearance. She thought she would never see her best friend again. Leo finally sat Greenlee down and she looked over at Kendall. Greenlee slowly crossed the room, staring at Kendall. Kendall was frozen to her spot, unsure if she should run or fight. Greenlee looked her up and down, stopping slightly on her growing stomach. As their eyes met again, Greenlee started to smile. The tears Kendall had been holding back started to fall as Greenlee pulled her in for a hug.

"I'm sorry about how I left" Greenlee whispered in her ear. Kendall was too overcome to form a coherent sentence. She just nodded and hugged her friend for all she was worth. Elizabeth looked up at her brother and saw the tears in his eyes. Leo walked over and wrapped his arms around both women and the three of them started to laugh. Just then, the wait staff came in with the platters of appetizers.

"Who's hungry?" Zach asked, walking over to the table with Elizabeth. Leo, Kendall, and Greenlee untangled themselves from each other. Zach pulled Kendall's chair out for her. She leaned in and gave him a light kiss on the cheek. "Thank you" she whispered. "Anything for the love of my life" he replied, pushing her chair in as she sat down, dropping a light kiss on her shoulder.

Zach pulled open the doors for Kendall, who seemed to be moving slower the bigger the baby got. He waited patiently for her to catch up and smiled at her as she walked past.

"Stuff it Slater" she growled out, waddling past the rows of people to Greenlee and Leo. Zach waited for Kendall to sit down, but she pointed at him first. "You go. I need to be on the end." Zach laughed out loud and nodded in agreement. He sat down next to Leo. "I never realized how often a pregnant woman would have to use the bathroom" he said. Kendall whapped him on the shoulder. "I may be a big as a house, but I'm not deaf" she shot back at him. Zach just smiled and nodded, throwing his arm over Kendall's shoulders.

The judge entered and the courtroom became silent. Today was the sentencing for Ryan Lavery and everyone was on their toes. The case had been a slam dunk for the federal prosecutor and a guilty verdict came back just a few days after closing arguments. Ryan's defense team really pulled out all the stops for jury, to no avail. Zach just smiled at Ryan entered and glared at him. His eyes rested on Greenlee and he stopped walking, seeing her sitting with Leo, seeing him protecting her from him. This was the first time Greenlee had been to any part of Ryan's trial, but she insisted that she needed to see him one last time before moving on with her life, which seemed to be moving back towards Leo. She had returned to town, working in the PR department at Cambias Industries. Kendall looked over at her friend who just looked Ryan up and down once before looking away, never giving him her attention again. In this moment, Zach could see the look of a beaten man on Ryan's face and he knew it was over.

Zach just smiled – with the guilty verdict also came the loss to Ryan's parental rights. Zach had set his lawyers on it the minute he had been arrested. The superior court judge had been convinced easily that this man should not have parental rights to a baby that he didn't want in the first place and since he was more than likely going to be in jail for the foreseeable future, the judge agreed. Ryan's attorneys didn't put up much of a fight, which was very telling to Kendall.

They all sat and watched as the judge quickly handed down the 20 year sentence to Ryan. He declined when asked if he had any final words. As the guards led him away, he glanced over his shoulder one last time, looking at the four of them one last time before being led through the door. As Kendall hugged Greenlee, Zach pulled out his phone, quickly dialing. "Liz, it's me. Yeah, it's done. I'll have her call you later." Greenlee tapped him on the shoulder as he hung up the phone. "I think we need to celebrate."

"I think you are right" Zach responded, but they all stopped as Kendall moaned loudly. The three of them looked over at her and Greenlee started to laugh.

"Kendall?" Kendall just glared at her friend.

Greenlee looked back up at Leo and Zach. "Well, looks like that celebration is going to have a few hours, at least, since we need to take Kendall to the hospital." Leo and Zach looked at each other, finally realizing what Greenlee was saying. Leo started to yell for everyone to get out of the way as Greenlee and Zach helped Kendall out to the car.

Four hours later, Greenlee and Leo, along with Jackson and Erica, heard the first young wail come from William Hart Slater.

She heard a knock on the door and turned away from the mirror to see Bianca sticking her head through the door.

"I know you said no men, but…" she pushed open the door to reveal Will sitting on her hip. Kendall smiled as Bianca crossed the room with her son. "I wish I could hold you little man, but your obsession with pulling mommy's hair just won't work today." He dropped a kiss on his cheek and giggled as he smiled up at her.

"You ready?" Bianca asked. Kendall looked over herself one last time and sighed, smiling widely. "Let's get this show on the road." Together, they walked through the halls of the villa that Bianca had discovered right outside of Paris. Kendall fell in love with the place the minute they drove up three days ago, silently cursing herself for not completely trusting her sister to find the perfect location for this wedding. Bianca had every detail perfected, every flower the way Kendall wanted it – the sun even seemed to be shining just for her and Zach on this day. As they rounded the corner, Elizabeth jogged over and took Will from Bianca, hugging each of them lightly before taking her seat. Kendall just smiled and nodded as Bianca lined up in front of her.

First down the aisle was Greenlee, escorted by Leo, who were followed by Bianca and Myrtle. As the music changed and the doors opened, Kendall's eyes locked on Zach, you looked luscious in his tuxedo. It was like the rest of the world melted away as they locked hands. They never took their eyes off each other and as the ceremony closed, Zach planted a hotly inappropriate kiss on his wife, making sure she knew that this time, it was all real.

THE END
