Epilogue

Jude looked into the mirror and took a deep breath. 'Alright Jude, you can do this.'

A knock at the door interrupted her thoughts. She turned to the large wooden barrier and with a shaky breath, beckoned them in.

"John?" Jude whispered, pulling away from Tommy. John stood there with a sad smile on his face, tears were stinging his eyes.

"Jude, do you love me?" Jude looked shocked for a minute and looked at Tommy, She met his eyes before turning back to John, she nodded. "Yes, of course."

John wiped his eyes, "Then you'll do everything in your power to make me happy, right?" Without waiting for a response he continued, "Well, what would make me happy, is to see you happy. So go ahead…"

"Come in."

The door opened and John walked in, dressed nicely in his tuxedo. "Hey Cherry Red, are you almost ready."

Jude looked into the mirror again and fluffed her curls, "I think so."

John leaned down and placed a loving kiss on her cheek, probably lingering a little longer than necessary. "Let's get this show on the road."

Jude smiled and stood form the vanity, and took John's hand.

"John, what are you talking about?"

John took a deep, shaky breath. "If you'll let me have the honor of walking you down the aisle and giving you away, I think you should marry Tom."

Tommy, still sitting next to the hospital bed, looked up at John and smiled thankfully. Jude looked between them a few times. "But John…"

John held up his hand, "Cherry, I know you love me, and I know you know that I love you. But I was your first love, and you were mine. But not everyone has only one love in their life; I'm glad that you've been able to experience more than one. I know Tommy will take care of you."

"And who gives this woman, to this man?"

John smiled and wrapped the veil to the back of Jude's head, "I do." He whispered, stroking her cheek with his thumb. He leaned in to kiss her one more time as Jude Harrison. He kissed her cheek and leaned into her ear, "There's still time to get out of here." He whispered, jokingly.

Jude just pulled away, smiled good heartedly, and squeezed his hand. "Thank you, John."

He squeezed her hand again and winked at her, "No problem, Jude."

Jude took a deep breath, dropped his hand, and turned to the love of her life.

Jude turned to Tommy and smiled, "I know he will too."

Tommy smiled and reached forward to run his fingers through her hair. "I love you Jude."

Jude smiled, "I love you too, Tommy."

Tommy looked at John and gave him a small smile, "Thank you, John."

John smiled and nodded, "Just make sure that you keep her happy, no matter what."

Tommy nodded, before turning around and kissing Jude, softly. "We have a wedding to plan." He smiled. Jude placed her hand on her stomach, "But more importantly, a baby to prepare for."

"Do you, Thomas, take Judith Deanna Harrison, to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

Tommy smiled, "I do."

"And do you, Judith, take Thomas Christian DuTois, to be your lawfully wedded husband?"

Jude swiped a happy tear from her cheek, "You bet I do."

Tommy grinned at her. "You may now kiss the bride."

Tommy whispered "Finally," Before moving in and covering her lips with his. Everyone in the chapel stood and cheered. Jude heard a small voice say "Eww…"

She pulled away from Tommy and smiled. Tommy smiled back, "Hello Mrs. Quincy."

Jude smirked, "I thought its DuTois?"

Tommy smiled, "But the man you fell in love with, was Tommy Quincy. So I'm working on legally changing our names to that."

Jude smiled and hugged him. Another "eww" was heard. Jude turned to the little flower girl. "Excuse me, little miss Scarlette Lee, what are you ewwing at?"

The little blonde girl, with dark brown eyes held her basket of flower petals up in front of her face and giggled. "Yucky."

Tommy walked forward and picked her up into his arms, "There she is. C'mon baby girl, let's get down to the reception."

Jude smiled and took Tommy's out stretched hand and followed him out to the limo.

At the reception, Jude and Tommy were dancing up a storm. The crowd was having a blast, Brooke and Kwest (Maid of Honor and Best Man) made the most sentimental speeches to the happy couple. Jude and Tommy were continually getting compliments and good wishes.

Jude was dancing with Tommy when John walked up and tapped Jude's shoulder. "Hey Cherry, I'm heading out."

Jude pulled away from Tommy to face John, "Wait, what? Where? Why?"

John smiled, "Don't worry I'll be back. Darius gave me a little time off to go travel for a little bit. I'm going to backpack through Europe. I've always wanted to go to France, Italy, England."

Jude smiled and hugged John close. "Well, thanks for everything. I love you."

John smiled and squeezed her hands, "I love you too," he turned to Tommy, "Be a good husband."

Tommy smiled, slapping hands with John, "I intend to, man."

John turned to walk away but he turned around again, "Wait a minute, who's watching my goddaughter while you two are shacking it up on your honey moon?"

A petit woman with long, curly dark hair, and blue eyes to match Tommy's stepped forward. Struggling to hold a squirming Scarlette on her hip. "That would be me."

He practically threw the wriggling toddler to Tommy with a huff, "I tried to distract her but she kept wanting her daddy."

Tommy smiled and hugged the small girl close, "Hey baby girl." (Sorry, just need to brag for a minute. My cousin who first got pregnant when I started posting this story, just found out that she's having a girl!!!! I was so excited so I made their baby a girl.)

Jude smiled and kissed her daughters cheek, "Scarlette, why can't you be good for Aunt Annie?"

Scarlette just giggled and shrugged, snuggling into her daddy's neck.

'Aunt Annie' turned to John, "Sorry, my brother has horrible manners. And apparently so does my new sister-in-law." She said with a smile, sticking out her hand. "I'm Anastasia. Tommy's sister."

"Little Sister." Tommy mumbled. Jude just took his hand and smirked.

Anastasia rolled her eyes, "Only by a few years. I'm the same age as Jude!"

Jude smirked at Tommy, "She has you there."

Tommy rolled his eyes, "Excuse me wife, but shouldn't you be siding with me?"

Jude laughed and nodded. "Sorry, sorry."

John looked at Jude and wiggled his eyebrows, sticking out his tongue. He tuned back to Anastasia and smiled, "Well then, let me escort you to the dance floor."

"But wait! What about Scarlette?" Tommy asked Anastasia, motioning to the girl, starting to get drowsy in his arms.

John looked at Tommy, "C'mon man dance with your daughter." He stuck out his elbow for Anastasia to take once again.

Anastasia giggled and blushed, taking his arm and following him. Jude smirked and shook her head, "Ahh, the Johnny Boy charm, makes every girl melt into a pile of goo."

Tommy looked at her, "You're not jealous are you?"

Jude looked at Tommy and started laughing. "What? No! Please…"

Tommy laughed nervously, "And when you say no it's because you don't think there's anything between them. Because they're just friends and…" Tommy rambled nervously.

Jude smirked, "Anastasia is fine. John will take amazingly good care of her. Besides, I was going to set them up anyway. Don't you think they look good together?"

Tommy looked to the side when John and Anastasia were spinning around each other. John pulled Anastasia close and whispered something in her ear. She threw her head back and laughed. Tommy growled, "No one looks good with my sister."

Jude chuckled and looked down, "Paul used to say the same thing about me. I doubt he would let me date you."

Tommy smirked and nodded. Scarlette lifted her head and looked at her mom. "Mommy, I talked to Uncle Paul last night. And Uncle Reid too!"

Jude smiled and patted her little girl's head. "Oh yeah? And what'd they say?"

"Uncle Reid said that he loved me and thought I looked pretty in my dress." She said shyly playing with the lining of her little baby yellow dress. Jude smiled and nodded for her to continue. "And he said that you looked pretty in your wedding dress. He said that he'd see you in your next dream."

Jude smiled, Tommy too. Scarlette continued to talk; "Uncle Paul said that you looked beautiful and that he was glad that Uncle John walked you up to Daddy today. He also said to tell you that you're too good for Daddy and to tell Daddy that if you hurt Mommy that he'd kick your donkey. Which I don't really get. Do we have a pet somewhere?"

Jude laughed and kissed her daughter's cheek. "No honey, don't listen when Uncle Paul talks like that."

Scarlette laid her head back on Tommy's shoulder and yawned. "I like it when Uncle Paul talks to me. He talks to me about lots of stuff. He tells me stories about Mommy, and he tells me about how you met, and he said that it's because of him that I have brown eyes. That's why I sleep."

Jude raised her eyebrows, "Oh now, that's the only reason?" Scarlette nodded, causing her parent's to laugh. Tommy gently shook Scarlette.

"Hey now. Don't do to sleep yet. You haven't even danced with Daddy yet. Our song's coming on."

Scarlette lifted her head eagerly and jumped down. She ran to the dance floor and Tommy motioned to Kwest, who was working as the DJ, to put on their song. Kwest nodded and clicked a few things on the computer. Then a tropical, familiar tune filtered through the speakers.

(Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison)

Tommy pulled Scarlette into his arms as the other people cleared the floor. Scarlette giggled happily as Tommy spun her around.

Hey where did we go,
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow,
Playin' a new game,
Laughing and a running hey, hey
Skipping and a jumping
In the misty morning fog with
Our hearts a thumpin' and you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Lucas reached out for Brooke, who smiled and took his hand. They walked onto the dance floor and started to dance themselves.

Whatever happened
To Tuesday and so slow
Going down the old mine
With a transistor radio
Standing in the sunlight laughing,
Hiding behind a rainbow's wall,
Slipping and sliding
All along the water fall, with you
My brown eyed girl,
You my brown eyed girl.

Kwest left the table to walk up to Sadie. "I know you have green eyes, but would you like to dance?" Sadie looked up at Kwest and smiled. She nodded and took his hand.

Do you remember when we used to sing,
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da

Darius smiled as people started to flood onto the dance floor once again. He took his little girl, now not so little, and began to dance with her.

So hard to find my way,
Now that I'm all on my own.
I saw you just the other day,
My how you have grown,
Cast my memory back there, Lord
Sometime I'm overcome thinking 'bout
Making love in the green grass
Behind the stadium with you
My brown eyed girl
You my brown eyed girl

"Daddy! Put me down!" Scarlette squealed. Tommy smiled and put her down, but only so she could climb onto his feet and hold his hands as he continued dancing.

Do you remember when we used to sing
Sha la la la la la la la la la la te da.

Tommy looked over at Jude and smiled. "My blue eyed girl." He mouthed. Jude smiled and put a hand to her heart as she watched her baby and now husband dance together.

John walked up to Jude and smiled, nudging her slightly. "So Anastasia seems great."

Jude smirked, "I knew you'd like her."

John looked over at her shocked, "You set it up?!"

Jude tried to hide her smile and shrugged, "Maybe."

John shook his head. "Well it worked. I'm putting off my traveling until after you get back from the honeymoon, then she's going to come with me."

Jude's jaw dropped and she looked at John, "Wow, that's moving kind of fast though, isn't it?"

John shook his head, "Nah. I mean, it is, but I feel like I've known her forever. I could probably tell you anything that you ask me about her."

Jude decided to test him, "Favorite color?"

"Red."

"Favorite fruit?"

"Apples."

"Favorite…"

"Person? Her brother. But, like me, Scarlette is quickly catching up."

Jude smiled. "I guess you do know her." John smiled, "I won't hurt her, so if you could please convince your husband to give me a chance. I would appreciate it."

Jude nodded and looked at him. "Things ended up pretty good, didn't they?"

John nodded, wrapping his arms around Jude, "Better than pretty good. We're all doing great."

Jude pulled away and looked around. People were dancing, laughing, loving. There was not one sad face anywhere. Out in the crowd she could swear she saw Reid standing next to Paul. Both well dressed in tuxedos. She held their gaze, "Yeah, we're all doing pretty great."

Reid smiled and winked at her. Then the light pitter-patter of rain on against the windows could be heard. Jude smiled widely and Paul disappeared form Reid's side. He reappeared next to her and stroked her hair, "Your dream wedding." He whispered before kissing her cheek. Then he evaporated, along with Reid.
