Chapter 26- The Missing Groomsman

Watching one of the men she despised most get married disgusted Sam to even think about, but now that Drew was going a little spirit inside her was jumping for joy. But it was for the kids. It would be a family moment, that's all. She needed to get her memories and her own feelings under control before she could even go there.

Lucas and Willow joined Patrick, Terry, Epiphany, Felix, Brad, Amy, and the other staff from GH on the left side of the church. He sat next to Epiphany but kept looking over at Felix and Brad, but then would lower his gaze.

Audrey was sitting in the front row with a walker on one side of her and on the other side sat Jake.

On the right side, Carly sat in the front with TJ and Josslyn. Behind her, Julian, Alexis, Kristina and Leo sat. Drew, Sam, Danny, and Scout (wearing dress pants and a pretty top) sat behind them, but Danny quickly turned to Sam.

"Can I sit with Jake, please?" he asked.

"Sure," Sam said.

"Can I go too?" Leo asked Julian and Alexis. "Please, pretty please."

Julian shrugged. "I don't see why not."

Danny and Leo hastened to the front row on the left side and sat down with Jake.

"So, what do you guys think of this freak show so far?" Julian asked.

Alexis smacked his arm. "Julian!"

Kristina shrugged. "Molly seems happy. I don't really care one way or the other though."

Scout tugged on Sam's blue dress. "Wh-wh-why are you all wearing dresses?"

"Because it's a wedding, sweetie," Sam said. "We wanted to dress up."

"But the older boy will take your dress."

Sam sighed.

Drew cleared his throat. "What that boy did was wrong. But he wasn't after just any dress. The dress you were wearing was very old and had something attached to it that he wanted."

"But Grandma gave it to me."

"Grandma didn't realize what was in the dress, Cookie," Alexis said. "I'm so sorry that happened to you."

Scout shook her head and crossed her arms pouting. "I don't want no dress. I have no dress."

Sam wrapped an arm around her. "You don't have to wear a dress if you don't want to." She smiled sadly at Drew.

Soon, the music started, and Ric and Sonny, both in black and white suits, took their positions up at the front with the priest.

"That's weird," Alexis said, turning around slightly in the pew.

"What is?" Sam asked.

"Molly said Cameron was going to be a groomsman."

Sam turned her attention to the back. Aiden, looking adorable in a suit with a black bowtie, stepped forward with Violet in a puffy lavender dress.

"Violet has a dress!" Scout buried her face into Sam's side and clung to her. "Violet has a dress!"

"It's okay," Sam whispered. "She's safe. Just like you at Molly's wedding. Look."

Scout peeked but buried her face again and started crying.

Violet dropped flower petals along the aisle as she and Aiden walked up to the front. Aiden stood beside Sonny, and Violet sat with Audrey.

Next, Molly walked up solo, in a slimming purple dress, carrying a pretty bouquet. Sam smiled at her as she walked up to the left side of the front of the church.

Sam turned to the back of the church once more as Robin appeared in a matching purple dress to Molly's. She walked up and stood next to Molly.

Everyone rose as Steve walked in with Elizabeth wearing a lacy white dress and a veil hanging from her long wavy hair. They slowly made their way to the front, but Elizabeth paused.

"Where's Cameron?" She looked at Ric.

"He was vomiting this morning," Ric said. "Said there was a flu bug going around at Lila's Kids."

Josslyn turned to her mother and Sam caught her scrunching her face.

"Well, maybe we should wait until he's well," Elizabeth said.

Ric shook his head. "He said we should go on without him."

"I don't know," Elizabeth said. "I want all my boys here."

"He said he didn't want to ruin your special day." He reached for her hands and led her up to the priest. "Come."

Steve sat next to Audrey.

Elizabeth shrugged and handed her bouquet to Robin. She turned to Ric and they joined hands. She smiled at him.

"Friends, we have joined here today to share with Richard Lansing and Elizabeth Webber an important moment in their lives," the priest said. Their time together, they have seen their love and understanding of each other grow and blossom and now they have decided to live out the rest of their lives as one."

Sam moaned, but smiled a little, when Scout let go of her. She climbed onto Drew's lap so she could see a little better.

"Aiden's mommy really pretty," Scout said. "Auntie Molly too."

"Now, Richard," the priest continued. "Do you take Elizabeth to be your lawfully wedded wife, promising to love and cherish, through joy and sorrow, sickness and health, and whatever challenges you may face, for as long as you both shall live?"

Ric smiled. "I do."

Molly smiled over at her dad.

"Anddo you Elizabeth, take Richard to be your lawfully wedded husband, promising to love and cherish, through joy and sorrow, sickness and health, and whatever challenges you may face, for as long as you both shall live?"

Elizabeth opened her mouth when the doors at the back swung open and Jason stood there awkwardly. He slowly walked in but stayed at the back. "I… I object."

Gasps and whispers spread around the sanctuary. Elizabeth and Ric turned. Elizabeth's mouth was slightly agape.

Jason's eyes were locked on Elizabeth, but Ric was glaring at Jason.
