Title: List of Ten Things
Summary: When Alex has to go away to New York for a month and won't be able to see Walker at all, Walker comes up with a way for Alex to remember exactly who she is.
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters in this story. They belong to whoever owns the rights to Walker Texas Ranger.
Author's Note: I've had this idea for the last chapter for a really long time. Most of this is chapter is Alex recalling memories of her and Walker before their wedding day but NOT the whole chapter is Alex recalling memories. I hope you like it!
----------------------------------
Chapter 12: For Better Or For Worse
Alex awoke on the day of the wedding in high spirits. She knew that that day she would indeed be 'Mrs. Cordell Walker' and that her dreams were indeed coming true. As Alex went through the few things that were still in her room, she realized that there was a box on the top shelf of her closet.
Pulling it down Alex read her own writing. 'Memories – Cordell and Alexandra' Opening the box Alex found 'list of ten things' from Walker that she hadn't seen in a really long time.
Alex looked through the box, recalling memories both old and new.
Alex remembered the first list Walker had ever given her. It was right before she got on the plane to go to New York. Alex could still remember what had happened at the airport and the conversation they had had. It was also when he had given her the locket, the one that was still around her neck. "I would be fine, but I don't like being away from you. And I won't know how you are. Just promise me you'll come back in one piece." Alex told Walker and they walked hand in hand toward gate 13. "I promise I'll come back in one piece. I'll be really careful. After all I have you to come back too and I want to be the one to pick you up at the airport when you get back." Walker said as he kissed Alex. "You better be the one to pick me up. You're the first one I want to see when I get off the plane." "Okay. And I got you something." Walker said as he took out a small box. Alex opened it and inside found a heart shaped locket. Alex opened it and found a picture of her and Walker. "Oh Walker it's beautiful. I love it and I love you." "Here let me help you put it on." Walker said as he took the locket and Alex picked up her hair so Walker could clip it around her neck. "Thank you." Alex said as she kissed Walker. "And there's one more thing. But you can't open it till you're on the plane." Walker said as he handed Alex an envelope. "Okay." Alex said as she took it in her hand. Alex's flight was announced and she had to leave. "I'll miss you." Walker told Alex, still not wanting to let her go. "I'll miss you too." Alex said as she kissed Walker and then had to turn around and get on the plane. Alex read the list over and over just like so many years earlier when she had first read it, tears once again came to her eyes. She read:

Alex remembered finding the next list in her pocket on the day she was going to skip the meetings in New York that she had to go to. She was still amazed that Walker had been able to get the list in her pocket. She read the list again:
THE LIST OF TEN THINGS ALEX CAHILL SHOULD NEVER FORGET ABOUT HERSELF

7) SHE IS MY LIFE
8) I WANT TO SPEND THE REST OF MY LIFE WITH HER
9) SHE IS EVERYTHING I WANT TO BE WHEN I GROW UP
10) SHE OWNS CORDELL WALKER'S HEART. SHE ALWAYS HAS AND ALWAYS WILL
She remembered finding the next list on the floor by the door in her hotel room. She had instantly realized that it was probably another 'List of Ten Things' from her loving Cowboy. This one read:

2) HE LOVES HER NO MATTER WHAT

4) I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE HER

8) HE STILL WANTS TO ASK HER THAT QUESTION AFTER HE PICKS HER UP AT THE AIRPORT AND THEY GO DANCING
9) I WILL ALWAYS LOVE HER NO MATTER WHAT
10) IF SHE OPENS THE DOOR SHE'LL FIND ME
The last one still got her. 'If she opens the door, she'll find me.' That had made her smile. Alex had opened the door and sure enough, there was Walker. Standing there with that boyish look on this face and looking as handsome and wonderful as ever. Alex jumped right into his arms and kissed him time and time again. Three weeks really was too long for them to be apart. How they had ever made it the past three weeks was a complete mystery to her, but Alex was now content in her Cowboy's arms. She couldn't remember ever being happier in her life then at that moment, but now as Alex thought of everything that had happened to them over the pass few years, she realized that Walker had usually come up with a list to go along with it.
Alex remembered the wonderful night they had had together. How it had started to rain and Walker had kissed the raindrops as they fell on her face. She then remembered how he had picked her up and she had felt so content in his arms as he ran to get them both out of the rain.
The next list had come the very next day as Walker was leaving to go back undercover. Alex read:

10) AND THE FINAL THING ALEXANDRA CAHILL SHOULD REMEMBER DURING HER LAST WEEK IN NEW YORK IS THAT CORDELL WALKER LOVES HER AND STILL WANTS TO ASK HER SOMETHING
A man that worked at the hotel had delivered the next 'List of Ten Things' that Walker had sent Alex. How he was managing to do this was still a mystery, but a mystery Alex enjoyed. This list was different then all the others. It read:

Alex remembered how Walker had finally asked her to marry him. She had been the happiest person on Earth. And the following morning, Walker had yet another 'List of Ten Things' Alex remembered the conversation they had had about why they loved each other. "Why do you love me? You tell me why you love me and then I'll tell you why I love you." Walker said as he tried to make a deal with the beautiful woman sitting in arms. "I love you Cordell Walker with everything I am. I love you more then you'll ever know. As for why I love you well if I told you every reason we'd be sitting here till forever. I love you because you've always been there for me when I needed you the most. You were my rock and the only person that was able to keep my sane sometimes. Every time I let work become too important to me, you had a way of making me remember what life was about just my looking at me. Every time you smiled at me, I fell in love again. And even at my lowest moments, your winks made me feel safe. I know that sounds strange but every time you winked at me during a really horrible time, I somehow knew that everything would turn out just fine. I love that you are your own person. You don't get influenced to easily by other people. And you stand up for what is right. You always do the right thing no matter what. And then every time that I think you are completely hopeless and will never change, you do something to surprise me. When you came to visit me in New York, I knew that I would be able to make it rest of the time I had to stay there. I never even in my wildest dreams ever dreamed that you would come to New York just to see me when you had an undercover assignment to be working on. I guess I love you because you're you and I wouldn't have it any other way." "Really?" "Yes, really. Now why do you love me?" Alex questioned him. "I love you Alexandra Cahill for more reasons then you'll ever be able to guess. I love you so much and would die for you and do anything for you. You are my life, you make me whole, and without you, I would be completely lost. You are the light at the end of the tunnel when I'm down and you always know what to say to make me feel good. I love you because you are Alexandra Cahill and you won't let anyone change anything about you. You're proud of who you are and I love that about you. Alex you are the most independent, stubborn, strong-willed, good-looking person I have ever met. You know exactly who you are and what you want out of life. And most of all you know how to get it. When you start something, you finish it. You won't stop halfway through and say I give up or it's too hard. And you are the most beautiful woman in the whole world. I always thought your beauty masked who you really are, but it doesn't. It just enhances it. Your smile makes my heart skip a few beats and every time you walk into a room, I can feel myself turning red and smiling. You are everything I want to be when I grow old and one day I hope you will be my wife. And you don't look to me to make you happy. You take responsibility for your own happiest. Although I hope one day, I will be able to make you even happier. I guess I love you because you love yourself so much. You loved yourself from day one and because you loved yourself, you were able to love me too and I was able to love you." The list the next morning had had to do with that conversation. This one read:
LAST NIGHT I TOLD YOU WHY I LOVE YOU. WELL I DON'T WANT YOU TO EVER FORGET. SO THIS IS THE LIST OF TEN THINGS THAT ALEXANDRA CAHILL SHOULD ALWAYS REMEMBER ABOUT WHY CORDELL WALKER LOVES HER SO MUCH
1) SHE IS INDEPENDENT
2) SHE IS HER OWN PERSON
3) SHE KNOWS WHAT SHE WANTS IN LIFE AND HOW TO GET IT
4) SHE KNOWS WHO SHE IS AND I LOVE THAT SO MUCH ABOUT HER
5) SHE IS THERE FOR ME NO MATTER WHAT I DO
6) EVEN THOUGH IT TOOK ME FIVE YEARS TO ASK HER TO MARRY ME, I KNOW THAT SHE WOULD HAVE WAITED FOREVER BECAUSE SHE LOVES ME TOO
7) SHE IS THE KINDEST PERSON I KNOW
8) SHE MAKES ME WHOLE. SHE MAKES MY LIFE COMPLETE AND GIVES MEANING TO IT
9) SHE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WOMAN I HAVE EVER MET
10) AND THE FINAL THING ALEXANDRA CAHILL SHOULD REMEMBER ABOUT WHY CORDELL WALKER LOVES HER SO MUCH IS BECAUSE SHE IS HERSELF. SHE'S PROUD OF WHO SHE IS AND WHERE SHE COMES FROM. SHE WON'T LET ANYONE CHANGE WHO SHE IS. AND BECAUSE SHE LOVES HERSELF SO MUCH AND KNOWS WHO SHE IS, SHE WAS ABLE TO LOVE ME TOO.
The things he had said had without a doubt made her the happiest person on Earth. Alex had found the next list waiting for her at home after a night of dancing.

Next Alex picked up the key necklace that Walker had given her when they went on their weekend getaway to Lake Ebby. She could still remember some of the words in his letter and list. 'This is the key to my heart.' Alex picked up the letter and then the list and read them both.
SWEETHEART,
I KNOW I'VE NEVER SAID IT ENOUGH BUT I LOVE YOU. ANYWAY I WAS IN THE JEWELRY STORE THE OTHER DAY (I CAN SEE THE SMILE COMING TO YOUR FACE AS YOU READ THAT) AND I SAW THE PERFECT THING THAT REMINDED ME OF YOU. NOW I KNOW YOU'LL PROBABLY NEVER WEAR IT, BUT I DIDN'T CARE. ALEX, YOU HAVE THE KEY TO MY HEART AND I THOUGHT THAT MAYBE YOU WOULD LIKE THIS. LIKE I SAID, I KNOW YOU'LL PROBABLY NEVER WEAR IT, BUT STILL YOU DO HAVE THE KEY TO MY HEART. AND IF YOU WANT TO KNOW HOW YOU GOT THE KEY TO MY HEART, READ THE NEXT ENVELOPE, IF YOU HAVEN'T ALREADY.

FOR A WHILE NOW I'VE BEEN WONDERING HOW YOU COULD LOVE ME, A DIRTY OLD COWBOY. I MEAN I KNOW IN THE BEGINNING WE DIDN'T REALLY LIKE EACH OTHER BUT OVER THE YEARS YOU'VE SHOWN ME HOW MUCH YOU LOVE AND I HOPE I'VE BEEN ABLE TO SHOW YOU HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU.

Looking down at the box, Alex realized that there were no more lists in it. She knew that there had been a couple more lists from Walker and she found them on her dresser, right where she had put them a little while ago. Alex returned to her bed seconds later and added the other two lists to the ones already in the box. But first, she read them over.
The next one had come right after they had gotten back from Lake Eddy. Oh, they had some good times at the lake and some bad. But this last camping trip had turned out better than all the others and she missed camping with Walker too.
LIST OF TEN THINGS CORDELL WALKER WILL MISS THE MOST ABOUT CAMPING WITH ALEXANDRA CAHILL (SO TO BE WALKER)
1) BEING AROUND HER SO MUCH
2) NOT HAVING TO RUN OFF EVERY FEW MINUTES TO DEAL WITH A PROBLEM
3) JUST GETTING TO SPEND TIME WITH HER
4) TALKING ABOUT THE WEDDING PLANS THAT HAVE TO BE MADE
5) SEEING HER SLEEP AT NIGHT
6) KISSING HER TO WAKE HER UP WHEN SHE'S SLEEPING
7) JUST BEING AROUND HER ALL THE TIME
8) OH AND DID I MENTION MAKING THE WEDDING PLANS?
9) BE ABLE TO HOLD HER WHEN SHE SLEEPS
10) AND THE LAST THING I'LL MISS IS SPENDING SO MUCH TIME WITH HER
The final 'list of ten things' had been more then just a list, it was a letter too. Walker had given it to her just last night and it was about why he couldn't wait for today to come. But it had come. Today was their wedding day and soon they would be husband and wife. Alex reread the list and then the letter.
THE LIST OF TEN REASONS WHY CORDELL WALKER CAN'T WAIT TILL TOMORROW WHEN HE'S MARRIED TO ALEXANDRA CAHILL
1) SHE'LL NO LONGER HAVE TO GO BACK TO HER APARTMENT AFTER SPENDING THE NIGHT AT THE RANCH

9) I'LL GET TO WAKE UP EVERY MORNING TO HER SMILING (OR SLEEPING) FACE
10) I'LL BE MARRIED TO MY BEST FRIEND IN THE WHOLE WORLD
Alex, I know I never say it enough or at often as I should. But I love you so much. You are the light of my world and the only reason I get up some mornings. After a long day at work, your smiling face is all I need to see to feel better. When you walk into a room, you're the only one I notice and that day in court, you were the only person I noticed. I loved you from that very moment Alex. And I knew we would be together one day. Through all of our troubles we've made it through and because of that and our love, I know we'll be able to make it through whatever life throws at us. Alex, I love you and everything about you. I can't wait until tomorrow when you are my wife. I'll be married to the greatest woman on the planet, who also happens to be my best friend. And no matter what Alex, know that I love you. –Love, Walker
Getting up off her bed, Alex closed the box and added it to the things that needed to be taken over to Walker's ranch so it would be ready for them when they got back.
Looking at her watch, Alex saw that she had to get up and ready for the wedding. No way she wanted to be late to her own wedding. Running around her apartment, Alex gathered up all the things that she needed right away and wanted for the other girls to arrive so they could start doing their hair and be ready in time.
---------------------------
Five hours later found Alex getting ready to walk down the aisle to where Walker was waiting for her. Then the music started and Alex walked down the aisle with her dad.
"Who presents this woman to be married to this man?" the minister asked as Alex and her dad reached the end of the aisle.
"I do," replied Gordon. He gave Alex a kiss before giving her away.
Walker took Alex's hand and together they took the few steps so that they were in front of the minister.
The minister talked about marriage and what marriage meant. They came the time that both Walker and Alex had been waiting for forever.
"Cordell, do you take this woman Alexandra to be your wife? To have and to hold from this day forward? For better or for worse? Forsaking all others? For as long as you both shall live?" the minister asked him.
"I do," Walker told him and everyone at their wedding. The words were music to Alex's eyes.
"Alexandra, do you take this man Cordell to be you husband? To have and to hold from this day forward? For better or for worse? Forsaking all others? For as long as you both shall live?" the minister asked her.
"I do," Alex replied and just like Walker's words had been music to her eyes, Alex's words were music to Walker's eyes.
"By the power invested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride," the minister told them as Alex and Walker leaned in to kiss each other. "I'd like to introduce to you all for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Cordell Walker."
Walker and Alex walked up the aisle and at the same time, they walked off to make more memories together.
THE END!

Okay I hope you all liked my story. Sorry nothing bad happened in it. But the next story I'm writing and posting (after I get back for vacation) will have more of a plot to it. So yeah please review and let me know what you thought. Oh and sorry if this ending was a little cheesy. I'm really no good at writing endings to stories.
