(Earth, 6 months later….)
Standing beside Zedd his hands in mine, we both look to the people around us, Kerch at his side, Jason at mine, Zordon before us, as Hayley, the kids, former Rangers, and family all sit behind us under the shade that the trees around us provide.
Seeing that we've joined hands as he'd asked, Zordon continues with the ceremony. "Your hands now joined, as are your spirits, I bless this union in the name of the higher powers, myself, and those around you. Now you may both speak of what you wish to one another."
Deciding to go first Zedd smiles brightly as he turns to face me. "Thomas, I know that I'm not the best at expressing what you need me to express in words or promises, and I know that sometimes I don't understand all that you say, or promise, or do. However I do give my word that so long as we are joined I will try my best to understand or at the very least tolerate some of the all too strange things that you do. Such as eating peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches that contain Doritos smashed into the middle of them. Or how you always insist that I stop at every stop sign, or red light even when there are no police officers around. Or even when you make me sit through 'Jurassic Park' for the five hundredth time and explain to me for the six hundredth time how such a concept is plausible in theory." Well it is. "In short, I promise to do my best to make certain you are happy and healthy, to be there for you through all of the good and most definitely all of the bad because after all those are the times when it is most fun." Smiling as I give a playful scowl he continues softly. "And of course because I love you."
When it's clear he's finished I take a breath and squeeze his hands unsure who I'm reassuring at the moment, him or myself, before I respond. "Zedd, I know that you're not the best at expressing yourself in words or promises, and like you I don't always understand everything you say, or promise, or do. However that really doesn't matter. Because you show me how you feel and how much you love me every day. When you do that I don't need words or promises. You let me be me, and despite my sometimes better judgment, I try my best to let you be you. Even if it means that you drag me to completely illogical movies involving explosions and invasions and all too predictable endings. Or that you go out with the assurance that you are just going to have a drink and play cards and end up bring home a goat at three in the morning that you claim you 'found'-"
Smile growing at this Zedd gives a nod. "His name was Stan."
Barely keeping myself from collapsing into laughter, I nevertheless pull it together and continue. "And name Stan. Or even that sometimes you make me so mad I think I might just throw you out a window, I try. And I'll continue to try because I love you, and I have a feeling you're probably the only one alive that could put up with me for the amount of time we will be together."
"Very nice, I think." Zordon responds softly, before gesturing to Kerch and Jason to give us our rings. "Now Zedd place the ring on his finger, and Thomas place yours on his."
Slipping the silver band onto his finger as he does the same to me, we both link hands once more afterwards.
"In the name of the higher powers and those around you, I now pronounce you joined. You may seal the joining with a kiss."
Kissing him firmly, I can't restrain the happy smile marring my face as we separate. "I love you."
Leaning into my ear, and about to proclaim his own love for me, Zedd however gives me something much, much different instead. "I'm pregnant." Of course he is.
The End
-o-
Oh thank the higher powers it's OVER! Geez. And no don't even ask for another part concerning Zedd's supposed pregnancy, I don't do male preggars it makes me ick, no ass babies! Anywho hope you all enjoyed it, don't know when I'll do something new, but I prob will end up doing a new Zedd/Tom story sometime in the future so if you're into that keep a look out.
