Lucas was led back to the waiting area and he met the crew and explained what was happening. He turned to pace back and forth, and Sullivan tried and failed to get him to sit down. Soon, he called Jennifer and she brought Lila to the hospital.
"Uncle Lucas." Lila called out and ran into his arms.
"Hey baby." He smiled and picked her up.
"Is aunt Vic going to be okay?" She asked and he sat with her on his lap and Jennifer sat next to them and took his hand.
"Yeah, she should be okay. The doctors are fixing her right now and we'll be able to see her soon. But she's going to be here in the hospital for a little while."
"So you can't get married today?" She asked.
"Not today Angel, but we're going to as soon as she's allowed to go home." He smiled and she nodded. Sullivan sat beside Jennifer and they hugged.
"It's been forever Sully." Jennifer smiled.
"It has." If I remember correctly, Miss Lila hadn't quite made her debut." He chuckled and Jennifer nodded.
"She's uncle Luke's girl, if you can't tell. He spoils her rotten." She chuckled.
They all sat around got to know Lucas, Jennifer and Lila. Soon though Lucas began to fidget again. It had been almost two hours and there was still no word on Vic. Dr. Miranda Bailey, Ben's wife joined them and agreed to go check on her. She came back and smiled.
"They're just finishing up. It shouldn't be too much longer." She said as she patted his arm and he sighed in relief.
"Thank you, for checking." He smiled weakly back at her. Twenty minutes later, Dr. Link walked out and told them it went great. She'd in recovery for another ten or so minutes before she was moved to a permanent room and they could see her. Lucas thanked him and shook his hand. Lila jumped from her chair and hugged his legs.
"Thanks for making sure aunt Vic is okay." She gave him a toothy grin and he smiled.
"You are very welcome." He smiled and left to go back to Vic.
Ten minutes later they all stormed through the door of Vic's room and smiled lazily.
"I'm so high on these painkillers it's not funny but I better be seeing my favorite niece. Come here Lila. Have uncle Luke help you up." Vic said and they knew she'd be just fine.
"Aunt Vic, are you okay?" Lila asked as Lucas lifted her onto the bed and she cuddled into her left side.
"Yeah, I'm okay." She replied as she pecked Lucas on the cheek and smiled.
"I still get to be the flower girl, right?" Lila asked softly.
"Of course you do, Angel." Vic smiled and Lila's face lit up. Vic noticed Miranda's smirk.
"Any test results you want to bring up Miranda? I know you know." Vic teased but in truth gave her permission to speak up.
"Well all of them back normal except one. I wonder if you know which one Victoria." Bailey teased right back not falling for the bait.
"That'd be the pregnancy test, correct?" Vic grinned and saw Lucas' eyes go huge.
"Seriously?" He asked and she nodded.
"Yep. I told them right before they put me under, just so they didn't give me anything that would hurt the baby. Including high doses of painkillers. There's not much really in my system." She replied as he kissed her.
"I don't understand." Lila said and Vic explained that it meant that there was a baby in her belly and Lila caught on quickly.
"I'm going to be a big cousin?" She asked, her eyes sparkling.
"Yep. Think you handle that Miss Priss?" Vic asked and they all congratulated her and Lucas.
"Thanks guys." Vic smiled.
"We're going to give you guys a few minutes alone. We'll bring dinner later." Travis said and they all left, and Jennifer took Lila.
"He's up to something, that grin on his face said it all." Lucas said and Vic chuckled.
"Yes he is."
**Outside the Hospital**
"So, Miranda could we use the chapel if we can get a judge down here?" Travis grinned.
"She's going to hurt you. But I will arrange it." Miranda smiled and they all split up to get ready for that night.
**At the Courthouse**
Travis and Sully managed to get a judge to agree to bring a copy of a marriage license and perform the ceremony. They made their way back to the hospital and met up with the team.
Maya and Andy had gone to Vic's place and grabbed a nice dress for her. She'd have to be in a wheelchair, but she didn't have to wear the hospital gown. Maybe Travis could help hold her up. It made sense for her best friend to be her man of honor.
The rest of them had gone to get some nice food for afterwards and Jennifer got Lila in her favorite fancy dress. They made their way into Vic's room and she sighed.
"What'd you do Montgomery? I know you did something. Just tell me so I can hurt you." She grinned.
"Well we arranged for you to get married today after all." He smirked and she looked at him.
"I'm going to hurt you, but first I need a hug." Vic smiled as she teared up. He hugged her and she elbowed him in the gut.
"We'll see you in the chapel. The girls are going to help you get ready. And yes, you have to use the wheelchair." Vic sighed and waved them out. Maya, Andy and Jennifer all helped Vic change into the dress and fix her hair while Maya did her makeup. They took all sorts of fun pictures with Lila and Jennifer and had a blast. Soon they helped Vic into the wheelchair and Lila sat on her left knee. Outside the chapel Lila hopped off and Jennifer opened the door. She along with Maya and Andy sat down in the nearest pew and Pruitt come up behind Vic.
"Mind if I walk you down the aisle? I know you don't really have a decent father-figure and I wanted to step in." Vic smiled and nodded before telling Lila to go ahead and then Pruitt pushed Vic into the door and as she spotted Lucas in his everyday uniform she smiled. It was perfect. Pruitt handed her off to Travis who helped situate her to face Lucas and Lucas took her hands.
"Shall we begin?" The judge asked. They nodded. The judge motioned for Lucas to start.
"Victoria, you are the one person, I need you. Every inch of me needs you. You are the most beautiful human being on the planet. I continuously have to restrain myself from losing myself deep in your chocolate eyes. I love you more than anything else and I can't wait to spend the rest of my life with you." He smiled and wiped the tears off her face.
"Lucas you are the first person outside of 19 to actually care about me. I love you for that, and for everything else you've done for me. The first time after my academy graduation that we had an actual conversation, I yelled at you and I thought you were going to throw me out of the conference room window into the barn. The fact that you didn't amazes me every day. I love you with all that I am, and it started that day. I cannot wait to spend the rest of my life with you." She smiled and squeezed his hands.
"By the power vested in me by the State of Seattle, I pronounce you husband and wife." The judge declared and smiled. Lucas bent down to kiss her and smiled.
She smiled and Lucas pushed her back to her room where They all joined her and celebrated.
