Chapter 19:
A/N: Kristina is only three in my story and not five. Sorry! Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Sorry that its taking me so long my nieces were visiting.
It was the day of the wedding. Nikolas got ready with the groomsmen , Lucky, Sonny, Ryan and Nathan, who was the ring bearer, in one side of the house while Courtney got ready on the other side with Carly, Elizabeth and Lulu as well as Kristina who was the flower girl. The wedding was going to be outside at Spoon Island in the garden. The guys were wearing just plain black tuxs.
"Big day today huh?" Lucky asked his brother."Yeah. To tell you the truth, I cant believe that its only been one year." Nikolas said as he was helping Nathan down off the dresser and handed him a black box.He had just got done getting dressed and Mike was going to take him for a walk. "You wanna know what happened last night after Courtney got home?" Nikolas said as he was buttoning his shirt. "Not if its anything like what I walked into that one day. No. Sorry." Lucky said putting his tie on. "No its not. I promise." he said as he turned to face his brother. "Courtney got home about thirty minutes after I got there. She walked in said hey and asked if Nathan was sleeping and I told her no and that I had to tell her something. She was like okay and does it have to do why he isnt asleep yet. I looked at her and was like yes. I started telling her what I was going to tell her and Nathan came screaming in." Nikolas said looking at his brother. "What were you going to tell her?" he asked. "Hold on. Im getting to that part. Anyway as I was saying he ran in and then stopped screaming and running when he saw Courtney. She was like hey sweetie and he ran over to her and she picked him up and you'll never guess what he said." "What did he say." "Hey mommy." Nikolas said looking at his brother. "Wow. I didnt know he was calling her mom not that it matters because she basically is his mother." Lucky said looking at his brother. "He wasnt. He started calling her that yesturday. He usually calls her C. and Courtney and I decided a while ago that we wouldnt make him call her mom because biologically shes not even though if you ask me she is his mother." "So how did this start?" Lucky asked. "We were driving in the car and he was silent for most of the ride and then he said something, so I turned the radio down and asked him to say it again. He said. "Wheres mommy?" and at first I thought he was talking about Emily so then I asked him. "Are you talking aboiut C?" and he was like "Yea." so I dont know where he got it from or when he decided to call her that." He said putting his tie on. "What did Courtney say?" "Well we talked about it last night until like one in the morning. She said that she didnt want to take Emily's place even though she wasnt here." "Emily doesnt have a place though." Lucky said cutting his brother off. "I know and I told her that and I was like well here are the two options.1) We can continue letting him call you mommy because he did start that on his own and its not like hes stupid or anything. Your like his mother but he knows that Emily is his real mother or 2) We can tell him to stop calling you that and to call you C or whatever." "Well what did she say?" Lucky asked. "She said since he started that on his own that she will allow it but she wants him to know that even though she isnt his mother by blood she still loves him like it and that is what we agreed on." Nikolas said as he was sitting putting his shoes and socks on.
At the other part of the house, Courtney was telling everybody over there what happened last night. They all thought it was just the sweetest thing. The bridesmaids were wearing blue dressed that resmembled the one she was wearing the night he proposed to her. Courtney was wearing a strappless dress that at the top was tight and was satin with design and the bottom poofed out. Courtney was in the room with the bridesmaids and she was already dressed. She was sitting on a chair talking to everybody when there was a knock on the door. "I'll get it just in case its Nikolas." Carly said as she got up and answered the door. She talked to whoever it was for a minute before telling them to come in. It was Mike with Nathan in his right arm. "Momma." He told Mike as he pointed to Courtney. "Is that your mommy?" He asked Nathan. "Yea." he responded. Mike went and sat beside Courtney. "You look beautiful princess." Mike told her. "Thank you daddy." She said as she gave him a hug. "Here." Nathan said handing a black box to Courtney. The room was silent. They were just watching Nathan. "What is it?" Courtney asked Nathan. He nodded is head. He didnt know what it was. She opened it.In it was a heart shaped locket with a picture of Nathan in it and a note that said 'Here's your something new'. "Did you get this for me?" she asked him. "No." he responded. "Daddy." "Oh daddy got it for me." she said. He said something in gibberish which Courtney or anybody else couldnt make out. Mike helped Courtney put it on. "What time is it?" Courtney asked. "Time to get married now lets go." Carly said back. "You ready?" Carly asked her as she handed Courtney her roses. "Been ready." she said back. "You got your something blue, new, old and borrowed?" Carly asked her. "New" she said as she pointed to the locket. "Old and borrowed" she said as she pointed to the earrings "and something blue." she said as she left her dress half way up her leg to show her garter. "Great. Lets go." Carly said. "Okay." Courtney said as she followed Carly and everybody else out the door.
They all got up and made their way outside right before the garden. They stood behind the tall bushes that way Nikolas couldnt see Courtney until she came out. The groomsman were waiting for them. Ryan and Lulu were the first to go. "Hey Lucky." Sonny said as his arm was around Elizabeth's arm. "Yeah." "Since we traded at the wedding do you think we could trade for a little while longer." Sonny said. "What are you talking about." "He's talking about wives Lucky." Carly told him. "No thats okay. You can have yours back and I'll take mine home with me." Sonny and Elizabeth looked at each other."He just doesnt know that baby is mine does he?" Sonny said to Elizabeth. Her and carly began laughing. "Oh he has no idea." She replied right before they left. Then it was Carly and Lucky. They were the best people. Nathan and Kristina were suppose to be next but Nathan didnt go down. Just Kristina did. Nathan stood there scared. He didnt know who half of those people were. He turned around and ran out of the aisle towards Mike and Courtney behind the bushes. "What wrong sweetie?" Courtney asked him as she squated down trying hard not to get her dress dirty. He said something in gibberish. She could tell he didnt go down because he was scared. "Why dont you just run to daddy baby?" she asked him. He shook his head no. "Okay. How about you go down with me?" He looked at her and thought to hisself for a minute before nodding his headyes. "Okay then thats settle." She said as she stood straight up. "Daddy do you mind if you carry him in your right arm?" She asked Mike. "No problem." He said as he picked Nathan up. "You ready now?" She asked him. He shook his head yes.
Everybody was starting to worry where Courtney was. Some didnt see Nathan run out. It was a few minutes after he did that Courtney was finally coming. She had her arm in her dads while he held Nathan with the other one. When Nikolas saw Nathan he just shook his head slighty as she just laughed quietly. "Pass him to Lucky, when we get up there." She told her dad just loud enough for him to hear. "okay." he whisper back to her. They got up beside Nikolas when Nikolas took him from Mike and passed him to Lucky. Mike gave Courtney away and sat down beside her mother. They went on and had a traditonal ceremony. When they got to the vows the preacher asked "The rings?" "Right." Nikolas said as he turned around to Nathan and held his hand out. Nathan reached in his pocket inside his jacket and pulled out two rings and place them in Nikolas's hand. "Cute.' Courtney told Nikolas. "We had to pratice that all morning." he said back to her. She just smiled. The proceedewith the vows which were the tradidtonal ones because Nikolas thought if you write your own, you weredomed. "Courtney. Do you take Nikolas to be your lawfully wedded husband?" The preacher asked. "I do" She said while looking at Nikolas. "And Nikolas, do you take Courtney to be your lawfully wedded wife?" "I do." Nikolas responded. "Then by the power invested by me I now pronouce you husband and wife. You may kiss your bride." The preacher said as he closed the bible. "Dont take to long now. We're hungry over here." Lucky said as Nikolas pulled Courtney towards him and she wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his around her waist and kissed her. Everybody began clapping. They only kissed for about a minute when she pulled away. Nikolas turned around and grabbed Nathan from Lucky and held him in his left arm as his right one was wrapped with Courtney's and walked down the aisle with her. They stood at the end thanking everyone for coming and then took pictures.
When they were done they went and joined everyone else at the reception. "I would like to introduce to everyone, Mr. and Mrs. Nikolas Cassidine." Lucky said over the mic. Everyone clapped as they walked in and had their first dance to 'Must Be Doing Something Right'. They danced along with everyone else for a little while until it was time to eat. While everybody was eating Lucky stood up. "Now that Im eatting, I can make a toast." He said as he held his glass up and people let out little giggles at the remark. "Its great pleasure to see my brother and nephew happy now but even a greater pleasure to have Courtney a part of our family. Congratulation guys." he said as everybody raised their glasses and said "Cheers." It was now Carly's turn. "I dont have much to say" she said as Sonny said. "Thats a shocker." "Shut up Sonny. Anyway as I was saying I dont have much to say except that I wish you's happiness with lots of memories and I'm glad that I now have a brother-in-law and a nephew. The only thing that Im waiting on now, Courtney, is a neice so you better get moving." Carly said as she held her glass up and everybody toasted to that to. "You're going to have to wait a while for that one Carly." Courtney told her as she sat back "Hopefully not to long." Carly said as she passed Courtney and wentto dance with Sonny.
They danced a little bit more before it was time to take the garter off and throw the bouquet. Jessie caught the garter and Lulu caught the bouquet. After that was over Courtney went and sat down and talked to Carly and her old best friend Maria who came in just for her wedding. "So who is this little guy?" Maria asked as Nathan climbed on Courtney's lap. "This is my baby." she said rubbing Nathan's hair. She could tell he was getting tired because he put his head on her chest. "Your momma never told me you got knocked up and had a kid." Maria said. "He's not mine biologically. I just married his dad. You know you havent got any smarter than the last time I talked to you." Courtney said to her friend. "Oh well Im sorry its just I havent talked to you in like four years." "I know and sorry I never called." Courtney said back. "No its fine. You've done real good with your life. Better than I would have ever imagined and Im happy for you." "Thanks. Im happy with the way my life turned out also." She said as she kissed Nathan on the forehead. "Yeah the only thing thats missing is my neice." Carly said. Maria just laughed. "Carly, I told you once. You are going to have to wait for that one." She said as she spotted Nikolas walking towards her. "Now drop it." Courtney said back to Carly. "Nikolas must be on his way over." Courtney just shook her head yes. "Hey baby." he said as he sat beside her. "Hey." "Is he sleeping?" he asked her. "I dont know. Carly is he sleeping." "Yes he is sleeping." Carly told Nikolas. "Want me to take him that way he doesnt ruin your dress?" Nikolas asked Courtney. "No he's fine. Hes not dirty or anything and he took his shoes off before climbing up here." "Okay. If thats what you want." he said. "Hes fine. Really. Besides, I want to spend time with him before we leave." "Yeah that reminds me. We have to leave in like thirty minutes so Im going to take him to Elizabeth and Lucky. They're leaving now because Elizabeth is tired from the pregnancy and Cameron is about passed out." "Okay." she said as she passed the sleeping baby to Nikolas. "Be back in a minute.Love you" he said as he kissed her and walked away. "I wish I had a boyfriend like that let alone a husband."Maria said."Yeah I know I got lucky."Courtney said. "Yes you did and that'll be you in a few months anyway." Carly said. "What will be me?" Courtney asked not knowing what she was talking about. "Pregnant and tired." "Carly drop it please atleast for right now. Trust me when we decide to have more kids, I will let you know first. Okay?" "Fine." she said as Sonny made his way to the table. "Love you, have fun in Fiji,and the wedding was great and I had funand make sure you tell Nikolas I said bye." Sonny said giving Courtney a kiss on the forehead."Lets go Carly. You have your own kids at home and stop trying to talk Courtney into getting pregnant." Sonny said as he started walking away. "Better be soon though." Carly said as she walked away before Courtney could responded. "Well I've gotta go. I have a long drive back. I'll call you sometime." "Okay bye." Courtney said as she gave her a hug. "Ready Mrs. Cassidine?" Nikolas said as Courtney jumped. She didnt know he was behind her. "Yes Mr. Cassidine." She said as she got up. They said goodbye to everybody who didnt leave yet and left.
They got to the hotel about fifthteen minutes later. "Ready?" Nikolas said as he took the key from the clerk. "No. You have to wait down here until I call you." She said as she went to grab the key from him but he pulled it back before she could. "Why?" "Because I need to get ready and I know that if you go with me I wont be able to." She said as she looked at him. "You dont have to get ready though. The only thing Im going to be doing is taking you out of that dress and making love to you until its time to leave tomorrow." He said eyeing her. "Stop that. There are little kids around." she said trying hard not to laugh."I dont care. Im not losing this fight." He said. "You're going to because I didnt spend a lot of money on lingerie for nothing." She said quietly. "Baby we have all week for that. Now you are wasting time arguing with me." "No because Im going to win this one." She said as she looked at him. "If thats what you wanna think." He said as he started walking towards her. She turned around and started walking backwards."What are you doing?" she said as she watched him walking towards her."You better be careful. You might trip over your dress."He said as he walked fast to catch up to her.He picked her up."I guess Im going to have to carry you up there then." he said as he made their way to the elevator. She just laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck. "And tell me how you are going to get the door open?" "Easily. You are going to open it." "Really and what makes you think I would do that?" she asked as he carried her off the elevator. "Because you wouldnt be so comfortable in my arms if you didnt want to." he said making a comment about how she didnt fight him. She opened the door and he shut it with his foot behind him. He laid her on the bed and put his hands around her wrist. "Okay so you won that one but I want the next one." she said looking up at him. "Deal." he replied as he bent his head down and kissed her. He took the dress off like he wanted to and made love to his new bride all night until it was time to go the next day.
