Part Two
Sarah sighed as she tried to go to sleep. She couldn't believe the fact that she was married. She wanted to believe it, but she couldn't. Matt Camden was her husband. She was now Mrs. Matt Camden. Sarah Glass Camden. She wanted to be known as Dr. Glass, but in private matters nothing would do but her married name. Married. How odd that word sounded to her. It was something she never imagined herself saying or even thinking.

Sarah inwardly laughed at the idea of telling the story to her children about the night she and Daddy met. When the nurse told her that there was a cute guy looking for a wife, she had no idea she was going to be that wife. Cute was an understatement, she decided as she lay in her bed as she pictured her husband. Drop-Dead gorgeous would fit him a whole ton better. She wished she had a picture of him so she could look at him right now. Matt Camden, her husband for life.

Sarah smiled as she remembered their first kiss. It had sent fireworks going through her, and it surprised her at the passion that it had ignited in her for a man she had known less than twenty-four hours. It was at that exact moment that this man was going to be the person she would marry. Later, as even more details came out at dinner, she found herself wanting to spend more time with him. She couldn't believe that she was falling in love with someone that fast but it had happened. He was not Jewish, but at the same time, what he said made it seem as if it was something that the two of them could work out together, somehow someday.
Climbing out of her bed, she walked over to her dresser and picked up her purse. In it was something that had changed her, and her life, forever. She pulled out the small black box and opened it to reveal her gold wedding band. It served as a reminder that what had happened last night at the justice of peace office had been real. She was now Matt's wife.

As Sarah stared at the ring, her mind wandered back to last night.

Flashback

"Are you sure you want to get married tonight?" asked Matt as he and his fiancée walked toward his car.

"I'm sure if you're sure. I mean, telling our parents is going to be hard, but I know that I want to marry you," Sarah whispered. Matt gently pulled her to him and gave her a gentle yet passionate kiss on the lips.

"Then let's do it. Right now, it's eight thirty. Why don't you call and see if the court house is opened. If it's opened, we'll go from there" Matt said as he started the car.

After receiving confirmation on the office being opened, Matt and Sarah headed toward the nearest jewelry store. As Sarah paid the salesperson for both of their wedding bands, Matt borrowed her cell phone. He made a quick call to a hotel nearby to reserve a room for the night. The hotel clerk asked for the name of the people staying there and Matt answered: "Mr. and Mrs. Matt Camden."

After the simple wedding ceremony, the newlyweds headed towards their hotel suite hand in hand. Sarah and Matt could not stop staring at each other or their simple identical wedding bands. As they reached the doorway to their room, Matt reached one arm around her waist and the other under her knees.

"What are you doing, husband of mine" asked Sarah, still slightly in shock about being married to him.

"Carrying my wife over the threshold," Matt whispered as he unlocked and opened the door. Sarah blushed as Matt gently put her on the ground. Sarah slowly put her arms around his neck as Matt's arms tightened around her waist. The two slowly leaned in together- their lips meeting in a kiss. The kiss, much like the kiss after they were pronounced husband and wife, was soft and sweet.

"I love you, my wife," Matt whispered before meeting her lips in another gentle kiss. Sarah, after the kiss was finished, whispered, "I love you too, my husband."

The newlyweds once again kissed and this time the kiss was more passionate than any they had previously shared, and a fire began to burn in both of them. As their hands began to wander, Matt began to gently back her towards the bed. The two fell back and with Matt landed on the bed with Sarah underneath him. The two then began the awkward yet very real process of knowing each other as husband and wife.

End Flashback
Sarah's face began to flame at the intimate memory. It helped her realize, that what had happened last night was real. It would be a long, hard wait until the day her father remarried her. She could not wait until that day.

Slipping her ring box back into her purse, she decided to leave it there until she could put in into her locker- the one place her parents would never check. She also grabbed her camera off of her dresser and placed it in there, realizing that tomorrow would be the first chance she could have to get a picture of her and her husband together. She would also get one of him, and one of Ed and Ruthie for Ruthie. She wanted the picture of him now, so she could see him right now.

She realized then that sleep would be the best cure for what was ailing her- a lonely heart. She already knew she would be dreaming of the man she was now able to call her husband- Matt. He was the man who had kissed her so tenderly and passionately on her doorstep after whispering "I love you, Mrs. Matt Camden."

Author's Note: I revamped this one. It used to be called "The Night After." It was slightly hard to read, and when I started reformatting it, I edited and changed some things. Let me know what you think of this version of it.

I also realize Matt and Sarah aren't exactly a popular couple- since their are so few fanfics about them. I would however, appreciate, reviews telling me what you think of the story.
