Well, here it is! The final chapter to cover the Aleheather wedding! A bit bitter sweet but I'm happy with the way it all came together and I hope you all are enjoying it as well. Writing this fanfic in particular has been a good form of 'escapism' for me outside my stressful line of work during these times and it warms my heart and makes me feel so good that reading this series to many of you has also provided you with an escape from the world for a bit and that touches me so much in ways that you don't even know. So just thank you to each and everyone of you for taking time out of your day to read this. :) This chapter opens on Alejandro and Heather continuing to dance the night away during their wedding reception. And also where we'll be seeing the last couple additions to Heather's family that were previously mentioned in the show. Keep your guesses on hand and hope you enjoy!

(Alejandro's POV)

Well, I know it's a common saying that a wedding is the 'happiest day of your life'; however… I also wasn't expecting it to be this satisfying.

Between our plan with Kelsey and José going absolutely swimmingly, marrying Heather, and the fact that she has been in a good mood for the most part for the same reasons as I am… things cannot possibly get any better!

Now I just get to enjoy being married to the woman who I can now call my wife and dance the night away with her.

With José and Kelsey already making an escape after 'doing their time' to appease familial obligation… I can't imagine anything possibly going wrong now.

We kept dancing together until I heard behind me, almost sounding mischievously taunting, "Hey Heather feather, happy wedding! Oh, and thanks for the invite! Very generous of you."

Heather feather?

The only person I ever remember ever calling her that pet name was her father.

I saw Heather immediately freeze and tense up as she immediately looked over my shoulder to give whoever was behind me an absolute death glare. Curious, I quirked up an eyebrow and looked over my shoulder.

On first glance I thought it was Heather's brother Damien except I noticed a few key differences.

Namely he looked a few years younger (probably 17 at most) and a little shorter than Damien. Also, that his (while short) hair had a slight wave to it unlike Damien and Heather's pin straight hair. Honestly, if I didn't know Heather or her siblings, I'd assume he was probably Heather's brother based on a lot similar features. His thin gray eyes had a very mischievous look as he smirked at us, mainly at Heather.

I was about to try to ask who he was when Heather said, "Well… it was 'happy' until you came over here. UGH, can't you just go annoy the crap out of someone else?! And you know damn well that I didn't invite you if it were up to me and not my mom. Why don't you go bro it up with Damien or something and leave me the hell alone, Will!"

Will?

But, Will just kept standing there as he extended his hand to me with a grin as he completely ignored Heather and greeted, "Hey, William Edward Lim II, I'm Heather's cousin. But just call me Will. Guess you're the lucky guy who gets to be married to my favorite cousin. Isn't that right, Heather?"

Heather immediately cut him off and almost got nose to nose with him as she spouted, "Oh really?! Favorite cousin? HA! Yeah, right? Since when the hell does double crossing me by sending that video you and Damien took of me while I was sleeping to a weird goth girl and profited off it from "Celebrity Manhunt" define 'favorite' to you, you little scuzzbucket?!"

Will just let out a laugh, before saying, "What? I was 11. Give me a fuckin' break. But, c'mon, you gotta admit cuz, that video was funny as hell. Would have been a shame if me and Damien just kept it to ourselves. But, I gotta know… Do your lips still taste like Bruiser's balls? Or has it worn off by now over the last 6 years?"

Immediately Heather got right in his face and said almost scornfully through her teeth, "Will… say one more damn thing out of your stupid damn mouth and I will ensure that you won't even have any balls to use anymore. Got it?!"

Then out of nowhere a woman, who looked about the same age as Heather and I and also looked as if she could pass for one of Heather's sisters if not for her long wavy raven hair, practically swooped in and grabbed Will by the back of his neck and made him wince as she spouted in irritated annoyance, "Come on, you little pain in the ass. Can you go 5 fucking minutes without trying ruin everything and make us look bad?!"

"Ow! Cass! Lay off!" Will complained as the woman kept up her grip on the back of his neck.

Eventually she looked over at us and introduced, sounding surprisingly pleasant, "Hi, I think you maybe kind of saw my husband David and I earlier, but I'm Cassandra Sharpe, Heather's cousin. Sorry about my little brother."

I held out my hand and shook her free one as I replied politely, "Alejandro Burromuerto Ledvora, pleasure to meet you."

"Likewise." Cassandra returned before she paused and looked over at Heather as she said, concise but surprisingly almost 'friendly' in a way, "Heather."

Then even more shocking, Heather actually seemed to return the gesture back with a slight smirk, "Cassandra."

Well, until I realized she was also smirking at Will, who was still having the back of his neck gripped by his sister.

"Will, c'mon, mom and dad are looking for us. And they're not going to wait around just because you want to start dumb shit all the time for no damn reason to embarrass us. Just like when you put that whoopie cushion on David's chair when he first came over to meet mom and dad. And don't even get me started on you putting itching powder in my wedding dress."

Cassandra practically spat as Will immediately retorted, "Yeah, and? It was too easy… and it was funny! But what made you think I was gonna do anything this time?! I was just talking."

"Ugh, you are such a liar. The day you don't embarrass me, mom, or dad at every event is the day of David and I's golden fucking anniversary. Now come on, you little dick-weed."

Cassandra retorted as she started dragging Will away from us.

I was trying to recall meeting them earlier, but the only extended family of Heather's I met were her Uncle Liam and Aunt Janice (who I now assumed had to be Will and Cassandra's parents).

But, there were only so many people we saw in the receiving line and I'm even pretty sure we missed a lot of my cousins.

And I have many compared to Heather considering her father's an only child and her mother only has Heather's Uncle Liam as her brother… it's really not too much of a contest considering my mother's brothers alone having at least 2 children apiece.

And then there's my second and third cousins on both sides added onto that.

Although Mr. and Mrs. Wilson did invite a lot of friends and business associates from what I've seen so far.

Then pulling me out of my thoughts, I heard Heather remark, sounding almost satisfyingly amused, "You know what? Forget what I said. Not everyone in my family is completely useless."

Eventually we got back in step and I was about to ask her more about her cousins until Heather looked over and was giving something a confused yet intrigued look.

I looked over and immediately saw what she meant as I saw Leshawna and Harold walking out onto the dance floor together and looking like they were talking as they got in step together on the floor.

Although we ourselves kept dancing, we also couldn't help but look on in intrigue at what was occurring.

({No POV})

Meanwhile on the other side of the dance floor, Leshawna and Harold were busy chatting away and catching up after not seeing or talking to each other in years.

"That's pretty cool you're working as a club promoter. And that you bought a house. Nice!" Harold commented with a grin as they kept dancing.

Leshawna smiled and shrugged before saying, "Thanks Harold, but I can't take all the credit. If it wasn't for the arrangement with my friends, I probably wouldn't've pulled off the house in the city. My mom thought I was crazy, but I'm glad I did it though! And I've got a pretty nice gig goin' on at the club so I got nuthin' to complain about. But, enough about what I'm doin', what about you? What've you been up to?"

Leshawna actually was very curious about Harold. While internally he was definitely still the same 'Harold' she remembered, but just the everything about him now that she was seeing made her curious about what Harold was really up to after all this time.

Not that she was complaining at all about what she was seeing from her perspective… but she was intrigued nonetheless.

Harold looked like he was trying to figure out exactly where to start until he looked up slightly and started after letting out a breathy sigh, "Well… after high school and season 3, I just kind of moved on. After the finale, I went home to Calgary and just got ready to go to university and majored in forestry. Ever since I was a kid, I always wanted to be out in the woods behind my house and exploring stuff. Then after a year of that, I got into this club at Uni called Venture Group with some other people in my major. It was awesome! We'd hike, camp, go whitewater rafting, and rock climbing. The climbing was something I got kind of addicted to. I did rock climbing before but it wasn't until I got to university that I got obsessed with it. It really requires a lot of skill and critical thinking… and it turned out being pretty awesome exercise! Especially climbing pretty sheer cliffs can get you to work up a good sweat."

To Leshawna… that actually seemed to explain a lot.

And it also made sense to her knowing Harold and knowing his renaissance man outlook with learning about and how to do as many things as possible from all those camps he talked about for as long as she's known him.

Again, this one piece of information she just found out about seemed to explain kind of a lot about 'everything'.

Sure Harold was still a pretty lean 'string bean' to her, but at the same time you could definitely tell even with the suit on that he had more filled out muscle tone. And again, it's not like Leshawna was exactly complaining… quite the opposite actually.

But, she tried to keep herself in the present moment as she asked, "But, still, I remembered you used to be online and then you just vanished from my friend lists. So, what's been going on?"

Harold shrugged before confessing, "Honestly… I kinda got rid of all my social media after the show. It was just kinda that extra headache in my life that I wanted to get rid of. But, I'm glad I did it! Being on TV was cool and everything but… I just kinda wanted to do my own thing and figure out what I really wanted to do. And I ended up doing something pretty crazy that cost me most of my savings and a loan after being a forest ranger for a year. So... I started my own camp on a huge property about an hour and a half north of Toronto."

Leshawna titled her head before questioning, "Um… you did what now? You started a camp?"

Harold just grinned and shrugged again before replying, "Yeah… my parents thought I was out of my mind at first. But, Gosh! I was 22 and I wanted to go for it. It was just something I really wanted to do. Growing up, I used to be really shy so that was why my parents started signing me up for camps in the Steve Sanderson Organization. I learned a lot of stuff and met a lot of people that helped me come more out of my shell, but… I just felt like I could've done more. And that those camps could've been more. And that I could reach out more to help more kids who could use some stability in their lives and learn skills to help them be well-rounded, make friends, and boost their confidence. So, on my downtime at the forest preserve where I worked I planned things out, found a big plot of land for sale, and took out a loan. It could've failed… and I knew that. But, it was my dream and I had to at least try to make it happen. And… it worked. I started the Harold McGrady Skill Camp and I guess being on TV helped me out since a lot of younger parents in their 20's and 30's who watched me on Total Drama saw my camp and signed up their kids for it. We started out small with a lot of basic summer camp stuff and I threw in a lot of activities I learned from camp growing up and the kids were having a blast!... And so was I. It just felt… good. Like I found my 'calling', you know?"

Leshawna was almost speechless at everything Harold just told her about what he was now 'doing for a living' and… she was very impressed and also proud of him for doing something and taking a risk most people would be too scared to go for.

This was reflected as Leshawna smiled and replied, "Harold, that's so good! A little crazy, but… that's really impressive that you were able to pull that off! I bet it's really rewardin' doing that. So you're runnin' that whole thing all by yourself?"

Harold smiled back and said, "Yeah! Especially since it was pretty much something I built from the ground up by myself. But, it also makes it that much more important to me. Even though, I do have a lot of counselors and volunteers I took on to help out since it was getting too much for me to handle too fast. I just couldn't turn any of the kids away. And there's always something to do. The property has an old and pretty run down two story farm house on it that I've been renovating myself and live in on the property. It's pretty peaceful honestly, but… it can be a little too quiet sometimes by myself up there."

Leshawna felt a rush go over her as Harold just looked her right in the eye, causing her to look away on reflex as her only form of defense as she got out, "Harold…"

It was very obvious where the direction of the conversation was now going, to both of them.

But, it didn't seem to deter Harold from continuing as he said, "Leshawna, I'm serious. Just give me a chance. A real chance. I know a lot happened when we were on the show and it's been a while since we last saw each other, but nothing's changed with how I feel about you. I still meant every word I said to you in those poems back on the island. Because I've dated a couple other girls since then and… nothing I felt with any of them is the same as I felt with you, and still do."

Leshawna was so caught off guard and eventually led to the point of her looking back only to get locked in by his eyes just baring into her.

It didn't matter how much she was trying to deny anything he said or her own 'feelings'... she couldn't.

Whether she liked it or not, she couldn't deny that everything Harold was saying to her was completely true. And that her 'soft spot' and attraction toward him was just as present now as it was since that moment on the dock when they kissed during Harold's elimination.

Because as much as Leshawna tried to repress it and 'snap herself out of it' since then, she did like Harold… a lot.

During her time since season 3, Leshawna had dated and had a couple boyfriends that ultimately didn't work out for one reason or another and were pretty easy for her to move on from them.

But, Harold?...

As much as Leshawna tried continue to deny it even now… she just couldn't do it anymore as she kept her rare speechless eye contact with him.

Harold's look softened even more as he kept trying to make his case and clear the air with absolute honesty with his feelings, "Leshawna, whether you believe me or not, I just want you to know this. No matter what, I'm still willing to do whatever it takes to win you over. I'll drive down to Toronto on the weekends, take you out on dates, and spend any extra time I can with you and treat you like you deserve to be treated. Please… all I'm asking for is a chance."

Leshawna looked away for a second as she bit her lip, really looking like she was processing everything Harold just said.

Harold sighed and looked down, thinking she was going to reject him again, until he heard, "Well… you don't have 'win me over' that much, ya know?"

Harold's head sprung up again only to see Leshawna giving him, while genuine, a teasingly flirty slight smile with a look that matched.

Harold went wide eyed as Leshawna leaned in and gave him a slight peck on the lips, making him freeze up in shock at her making a move on him.

Well, until she leaned next to his right ear and commented, slightly teasing and playful, "And hey, play it right and maybe you can show me what all that climbing's done for ya, if ya know what I mean?"

After that Leshawna gave him one last slight smile with a wink in his his direction at a still in shock Harold on the edge of the dance floor.

But, as Leshawna walked off confidently to the bar to get herself a drink, Harold slowly formed a slightly love struck and dazed grin as he readjusted his glasses, clearly knowing exactly what she was 'referring to', as he said in his current state, "Gosh…"

Later that night

With the wedding reception done and everyone going off to either continue partying into the early hours of the morning or going to bed, Heather and Alejandro decided to drive back to their apartment in Toronto.

With their move in 2 weeks and their lease ending in a month, the two wanted to make sure they were still taking advantage of their 'private space' while they still had it in Canada.

That and they were immediately leaving on their honeymoon the following morning to Venice at 9 am, so they wanted to make sure they got some sleep before then.

Once Alejandro unlocked the door and opened it, Heather looked as if she was about to walk inside until Alejandro stopped her before saying, "Well better-half, shall we take advantage of finally having some privacy on 'our day'?"

Immediately, Alejandro scooped Heather up bridal style in his arms as he looked deep into her eyes with a smile on his face and carried her over the threshold of the door as per common wedding tradition.

The whole situation was practically giving Heather flashbacks to season 3 when they were 'married' for the challenge and Alejandro carried her across the falls.

"A little 'on the nose', isn't this?" Heather remarked with a smirk.

Alejandro just shrugged as he replied, "Oh Heather, there are many remarks you can make about me, but… I am nothing if not consistent on doing things like 'this' properly. Besides, it's not often I get to carry el amor de mi vida in a wedding dress not once in my life… but twice."

Heather just smirked and put her hand on the side of his face, smoothing her thumb over his cheek before saying, equally as teasing and leading as he was, "Okay, well if we're doing things 'properly' here… isn't there anything else you want to do to make this 'official', or do you just want to keep me waiting?"

Alejandro's eyes were practically seeing into her now as he leaned closer and said, his smile softening and his tone going lower and almost wanting, "The last thing I'd ever want to do is keep you waiting, especially not now… that you're my wife."

Both of them chuckled as Alejandro put Heather back on her feet to close and lock the door behind them, both of them wasting no time as Heather threw her arms around Alejandro's neck, now engaging in a passionate kiss.

They seemed to be on a one track mind yet also seemed intent on savoring every detail in this moment. Both of them continued to chuckle to themselves as they kept kissing.

Heather eventually backed Alejandro against the wall in their entry way as Alejandro smoothed a hand up her back from her waist as he started unzipping the back of her wedding gown.

Heather also seemed to be wasting no time as she assisted in pulling off her wedding dress before getting to work on his clothes.

As they did so, the two tried to stumble toward their bedroom in an equally passionate frenzy, both of them clearly ready to start their married life together with their wedding night.

And thus the Aleheather wedding saga has now unfortunately come to a close. :( HOWEVER, the future of more content can now ensue so keep your ideas coming! Speaking of, I will address one thing. A lot of you have been asking me to write a more detailed sex scene for Alejandro and Heather and I am VERY flattered that you want it and have confidence in my writing for it! But… I've just never written extremely in depth intimate scenes between characters since I've just always considered myself more of a romance writer rather than an erotica writer, if that makes any sense? And that kind of carries over into who I am in real life as well. What myself and other people do behind closed doors isn't anyone else's business and writing those sorts of scenes is just out of my usual 'writing comfort zone'. However, if you all REALLY want it, then I will challenge myself to write one for you! Just let me know! :) Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the Leshawna and Harold interaction that showed these two will start 'seeing more of each other' in the future. Again, they were a random crack pairing that started in season 1 but I love these two together and their dynamic cracks me up. Also, can we take a moment to appreciate and laugh at this quote from season 2. Because I rewatched TDA recently and this cracked me up to the point of tears when I was reminded of it:

Harold: (In the confessional listening to Courtney's CD and receives a letter from Leshawna) "It's from Leshawna! 'Yo Harold, if you listen to that skinny, rich girl song and think about me, I'll have to kill you…'"

I am DEAD! XD Seriously, what makes this show great to me is the character interactions and the insane amount of quotes this show has given us as fans. That's why it will always hold a special place in my heart. :) Anyway, now onto the final piece of the puzzle in Heather's family who I now added to my fanfic universe. During the "Celebrity Manhunt" special before TDWT aired, we saw the infamous Heather and Gwen internet rivalry that sparked to me Heather's magnum opus toward Gwen of 'The Loser Gwen Show'. However, Gwen then retaliated with an embarrassing video of Heather staying home the night of her semi-formal with her cat Bruiser licking Heather's lips while she was sleeping… and that the footage was sent to Gwen by 'Heather's little cousin'. Ya'll, that was enough confirmation for me to give Heather an extended family! So, let's meet the little stinker who was responsible for lampooning Heather across the internet, William 'Will' Edward Lim II. Now Will in many ways is like a slightly younger version of Damien (who is 20 at this point in the story). He's just a 17 year old little shit that loves pranking people and laughing at their misery, hence why he and Damien probably get along so well! Haha. Although Will took it one step further by literally profiting off that video that he and Damien shot together of Heather and has now led into part two of Heather's family. And that is Heather's other cousin and Will's older sister, Cassandra Sharpe (née Lim). As you all could probably see… Cassandra has been embarrassed by her little brother's mischievous and 'shit starting' behavior one too many times in her life and is not afraid to put him in his place to keep him from 'further embarrassing her and the family' in her eyes. Long story short, but due to their closeness in age and plight with their respective younger brothers, Heather and Cassandra actually get along well and have worked together to 'get even' with their brother's pranks on them in the past. ;) They just don't see each other all too often which also probably helps them get along better as well. And for those of you who may remember WAY back in "Propositions and Conniptions" when Heather was talking about her cousin's wedding she recently attended, that was Cassandra and her husband David's wedding she was referring to! So there you go! :D I had been wanting to work these characters in for a WHILE but there just never seemed to be a moment that made sense… but them being in attendance at Alejandro and Heather's wedding seemed like a perfect opportunity. Anyway, thanks again so much for reading and keep your suggestions for things you'd like to see coming in! I always love to hear from all you lovely people regardless. :) As always constructive feedback is always very much appreciated and I will see you all in the next update!

Stay safe, healthy, and classy as always!
