CHAPTER EIGHTY-FOUR
Martha looked around the room and smiled. Everybody seemed to be having a great time; eating, drinking and dancing. But Martha knew out of everybody there, she and Jack were the happiest.
They were finally married and she'd never felt this happy in her whole life. She had her family, her daughter and she had Jack; her husband. Everything was perfect.
"Are you enjoying yourself?" Macca asked Martha.
Martha nodded. "Best day of my life," she answered with a smile.
"I'm happy for you," Macca told her as he pulled her into a tight embrace. "By the way; you look amazing today," he then said as he pulled away.
"Thanks," Martha exclaimed.
"Mum and dad would have been so happy for you," Macca started. "I'm betting that there here somewhere; watching over you," he said.
"I know they are," Martha agreed with him.
Macca gave Martha another quick hug. "I best go and get myself another drink," he laughed as he held up his empty beer glass and walked off.
Martha spun around to go and find Jack, but instead found herself colliding with Tony. "Sorry," they both said at the same time.
"Just the girl I was looking for," Tony then said.
"Why's that?" Martha asked.
"I just wanted to tell you that I'm glad you're apart of this family," Tony answered. "Also, I just wanted to thank you for making Jack happy and for giving me a grand baby," he told her.
Martha giggled. She knew that Tony was a bit tipsy as he had been drinking a fair bit. But she didn't care; today was a day for a big celebration. "Thank you," she smiled as she gave Tony a hug. "Now, I have to go find Jack. Make sure that he's not getting into any trouble," she joked.
Martha spotted Jack across the room and she slowly made her towards him.

Martha and Jack sat down for a while; talking quietly with each other. Well there wasn't much talking; mostly kissing.
Martha, who was now sitting on Jack's lap, quickly stood up. "Come and have a dance with your new wife," she smiled down at him.
"Lead the way," Jack smiled back at her as she took his hand and led him towards the dance floor; where many other people were now dancing together.
As Martha and Jack wrapped their arms around each other, a new song started to play. Martha recognized the song straight away. It was a song that her mum and dad used to dance to a lot.
Only you
Can make this world seem right
Only you
Can make the darkness bright
Only you
Can make this change in me
For it's true
You are my destiny
Martha wrapped her arms around Jack's neck and pulled him closer towards her until their bodies were pressed tightly together. Jack tightened his grip around her waist and they slowly swayed to the music.
"I love you so much," Martha whispered as she pressed a kiss against Jack's throat.
Jack smiled. "I love you too, Mrs. Holden," he said softly.
Martha pulled away from him and smiled up at him. "Mrs. Holden; I love the sound of that," she laughed.
"Me too," Jack nodded in agreement.
When you hold my hand, I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one and only you, only you
Martha sighed happily and rested her head back against Jack's chest
"Today has been the best day of my life," Jack exclaimed as he ran his hands through Martha's hair. "I have you and Laila; I don't need anything else. My life is complete," he told her.
Only you and you alone
Can thrill me like you do
And fill my heart with love for only you
Only you
Can make this change in me
For it's true
You are my destiny
"I know exactly how you feel," Martha said. "Our life is perfect and I wouldn't change a thing".
Jack kissed Martha's cheek and then slowly moved his lips around to her own lips. He took her mouth in passionate kiss; a kiss that she would remember for the rest of her life.
When you hold my hand, I understand
The magic that you do
You're my dream come true
My one, my one, my one and only you

THE NEXT MORNING
Jack and Martha walked along the beach. Laila was nestled safely in Jack's arms. Martha had one of her arms hooked around Jack's waist. They looked like a perfect happy family.
They sat down in the sand together and Martha rested her head on Jack's shoulder. She reached out a hand and stroked Laila's soft cheek. Jack smiled at Martha and gave her a soft kiss on the lips.
"Do you think you'll be able to get through one night without her?" Jack asked Martha.
Jack had organized for himself and Martha to go away for one night. Laila would be staying with Roo. Because Laila was still so young and still relied on Martha, Jack had decided that it would be best if they just went away for the one night. Once she was a bit older, then Jack and Martha would go on a longer honeymoon.
"I'm sure I could get through one night," Martha answered. "As long as your there to keep my mind off of her," she flirted.
Jack laughed. "Oh, don't worry; I'll definitely be taking your mind off of her," he flirted back.
Martha smiled at him. "I'm looking forward to it," she said huskily.
Jack smiled back at her and kissed her again. "I love you," he said.
"I love you too," Martha said softly as she rested her head back on his shoulder.
Martha looked out over the water. It was beautiful; just like her life now was. She was looking forward to the future that she now had with Jack and Laila. She couldn't wait to see what great things life had in store for her and her family.
As long as she had Jack and Laila by her side; she'd be happy.
