3 Years Later
"Come on, we're gonna be late," Jack urged. Sue did the finishing touches on her hair and hurried after him. They were newlyweds of almost a year now. She never got tired of calling Jack her husband.
"I'm in the wedding party, Jack. I'm right on time," she said, patting his arm to reassure him.
"So am I, and I keep getting text messages telling me to hurry up," Jack responded. They got into the car.
"She said they were at the church already."
"I know."
"Remember our wedding day?" Sue asked, taking his hand into hers.
"Vividly," he smiled at her. "Best day of my life."
"Mine too."
Will had sent a card congratulating them. He had kept in touch as he journeyed around the world for work. Sue doubted she would ever see him again, though.
"Here we are," Jack said, pulling into the parking lot twenty minutes later. They got out, and Levi trotted behind Sue as she hurried to the bride's room.
...
"Big day," Myles said.
"It sure is," Bobby agreed. He was fixing his tie in the mirror.
"About time too."
"You keep saying that," Bobby laughed.
"It just seems like it took forever."
"It did," Dimitrius laughed.
"Well, sometimes relationships take time," Bobby commented. Jack came in then, out of breath.
"Sorry," he said.
"Thought you weren't gonna make it," Bobby said.
"Well, I'm here now. What have I missed?"
"Oh, nothing much," Myles commented.
"You nervous?" Jack asked.
"Who isn't nervous on their wedding day?" Bobby said, smirking.
"As long as the bride doesn't have cold feet, it'll end well," Myles said.
"I hope not," D sighed.
"We'll find out," Myles said as they headed out to where the ceremony was going to take place.
...
"It's beautiful," Lucy said, admiring the dress.
"Stunning," Emily added.
"Wow," Tara said.
"I'm here!" Sue called. They were all huddled around the mirror, looking at the bride as she came in.
"Oh, good. The photographer wants a group shot," Tara said. They all pressed together, and the camera flashed. The photographer then went to capture the men standing at the front of the church waiting.
"It's happening!" Tara crowed.
"It sure is," Lucy agreed. Then they walked out together.
...
Emily couldn't help but notice the look on the groom's face as his bride walked down the aisle behind her bridesmaids. She felt warm and fuzzy inside. She was so happy. After three years, they were finally tying the knot. At 19, Emily was still living at home and looking into secondary education programs. She had been a little delayed since she missed almost a whole year of school, but Myles had helped her get caught up. She officially became his daughter almost a year after he made the proposition. She still called him Myles, though, which he completely understood. He had helped her attend therapy for her trauma, and eventually she came to peace with her brother and her parents' passing. She was still healing, though. She brought her attention back to the ceremony as she filed into line next to Sue. It all happened so fast after.
"We are gathered here today to join into holy matrimony Ms. Lucy Dotson and Mr. Myles Leland the Third..."
"With this ring..."
"I, Myles, take thee, Lucy..."
"I, Lucy, take thee, Myles..."
"You may kiss the bride..."
Jack, D, and Bobby whooped as Myles kissed Lucy heartily on the lips. Tara and Sue also shrieked with joy. Emily could barely speak for crying. She finally had another woman she could think of as another mom.
...
"That was such a beautiful ceremony," Sue said to Jack as they danced. Myles and Lucy were talking to guests around the room.
"It was."
"I'm glad they finally did it."
"Me too."
Dimitrius and Donna were also dancing. Sue looked away so as not to see the intimate thing D had started to talk to Donna about. She caught sight of Emily looking nostalgic and signed to her.
You okay?
Yes, Emily replied. People watching.
Have fun, Sue smiled. Emily smiled back. Myles had kept his promise to get Sue to teach her to sign, and she was good at it. She kept people watching while Melanie was chatting up a storm with one of Myles's friends outside of the FBI building. Her grandparents were busy telling stories of Myles to one of their old friends. Emily eventually got up and went to grab her camera from her coat pocket. She wanted to take some pictures herself.
"Oh!" she cried as she opened the door.
"Whoops," a male voice said. Emily shut the door again, hard, and swiftly went back to the reception area.
"There you are," Lucy said, approaching her. "Have you seen Tara? I wanted to ask her about that place she had mentioned. We're thinking of checking it out on our honeymoon."
"Oh, I saw her all right," Emily said, looking over at the entrance to see Tara and Bobby returning and looking rather disheveled. Lucy raised a brow.
"What did you see?" she asked Emily, getting that impish smile on her face.
"Some kissy, kissy, smoochy, smoochy," she replied, smirking. Lucy gasped.
"Really?!"
"Oh yea."
"I never knew!"
"Don't spoil it for them. Obviously they don't want everyone to know," Emily commented. Lucy rubbed her hands together.
"Oh, I'm so having fun with this one."
"Lucy..."
"I'll chat later," Lucy said, heading over to Myles. Emily just shook her head. Lucy was such a romantic, but it was one of the things she loved about her.
"About what you saw," Bobby said, approaching her.
"Too late," Emily said, gesturing to Lucy, who was whispering to Myles. Both of them looked over at Bobby, who winced.
"Dang it," he muttered.
"Don't go making out in public closets if you didn't want to be found out," Emily scolded.
"You're right. Time to do some damage control," Bobby said, hurrying over to Myles and Lucy. Emily looked around at everyone dancing, talking, and laughing and beamed. It just couldn't get any better than this.
