Thanks e1981, but I have to dissapoint you. This story will only have 70 chapters, so I'm almost there.

69. The last dance

Stevie and Alex made their way back to the crowd. 'Where have you two been?' Rose asked. 'Uhm just having some moment alone ...', Stevie mumbled, pulling at her dress. 'But we are back again so let us dance. Rose, may your step dad ask you for a dance?' He chuckled. The young Hall rolled her eyes. 'Oh please, step dad sounds so ... nah.' 'Well you may call me anything you want', he said as he led her to the dance floor. 'Alex, just Alex', she spoke with a high voice.

'People, May I have your attention, please!', Marcus yelled out with a glass of champagne in his hand. The blonde bloke was standing next to Regan. 'I think it's time for a toast on our newly weds. Stevie, Alex ..', Marcus spoke sincere focusing on the couple who were settling in front of them. 'It's been an honor to be your best man Alex, but it's probably even a bigger honor to have you as my brother.' 'Wait till you get used to it Marcus', Nick yelled from behind. The crowded laughed, while Marcus focused on his brother and wife again.

'And I don't have just a brother, but now I also have a sister-in-law and I probably couldn't think of anyone better. Stevie, that bloke is crazy about you.' Stevie smiled, looking quickly at Alex who pulled her close. 'Regan ...', Marcus softly spoke. She started to speak; 'Stevie, since I've came to Drovers it has changed me, just like you. We both found love; we've both find a home. You two have taken the long road, for sure and Alex if you ever hurt her ...' '... Yeah yeah, you know where to find me.' 'Right! But I know you two are made for each other, so we both wish you all the best, with Rose, with Aislin and maybe more kids to come.' She raised her glass.

Stevie wanted to step to her, but Marcus' words made her stop. 'Just a sec Steves, I know you want to hug my fiancée and get all girly.' You what?' Stevie's eyes grew big. Regan laughed. 'It's true, we're engaged.' 'Alex, did you hear that', she poked him in his ribs. 'Ouch ... yes I heard that Stevie', he mumbled under his breath. 'That is great!', Stevie screamed before she congratulated Regan. Alex took the easy way and patted Marcus on his shoulder. 'Good choice bro'.

'Oh my, when did he ask you, or did you or what?', Stevie bounced from excitement. Regan tried to calm her friend down so she could tell her story without Stevie keep interrupting. 'Well last night, we talked about what happened yesterday and about you guys and all of a sudden he kneeled down and popped the question.' 'Oh my, Alex did you hear that', Stevie once again pushed him. In return Alex wrapped his arms around her waist, holding her from behind. 'Yes I've heard it.' She looked up with a huge smile, feeling him kiss the top of her head.

'So', Marcus said, 'that will make you two girls sisters too.' 'What?!' The both let out, not realizing it before. Alex had to let Stevie go out of his arms, cause she jumped right into Regan's; jumping along. 'We're gonna be family!' The two brothers watched them relaxed, both their hands in their pockets. 'They have their strange ways', Alex said. 'But they are so irresistible', Marcus added to the dark guy's words.

'Okay, before the bride and groom say us goodbye, let's have a last dance.' Alex quickly wrapped his arms around Stevie. 'Did you hear that, the last dance', he smirked kissing her hair. 'Oh gosh, you are pathetic', Stevie smiled at him, pushing him. 'I meant it in a good way, you know. This day has been amazing. It's just perfect.' She gave him a huge smile, pulling him close while the speakers sounded:

There is no reason, there is no right
It's crystal clear
I hear your voice
And all the darkness disappears
Every time I look into your eyes
You make me love you
Questo inverno finirà
And I do truly love you
Fuori e dentro me
How you make me love you
Con le sue diffcoltà
And I do truly love you

I belong to you, you belong to me
Forever

Want you
Baby I want you
And I thought that you should know
That I believe
And you're the wind that's underneath my wings
I belong to you, you belong to me

Ho camminato su pensieri ripidi
You're my fantasy
Per solitudini e deserti aridi
You're my gentle breeze
Al ritmo della tua passione ora io vivrò
And I'll never let you go
L'amore attraverserò
You're the piece that makes me whole
Le onde dei suoi attimi
I can feel you in my soul
Profondi come oceaniI will belong forever to you

Stevie was all set to throw the bouquet. All the women were trying to get a good spot. 'Well Regan, it must be you', Marcus shouted. Stevie looked for a last time at the female bunch. 'Rose!! Get out of there!' 'It's just for fun', her daughter yelled back. Stevie rolled her eyes, getting set to throw the bouquet. Screaming accompanied the fight for the flowers. 'I've got it, I've got it', Jodi yelled. 'Ouch!' Alex said, his finger pressed on his ear. 'Is she always that loud?', he just said to Rob. The quiet man couldn't resist; 'Yes she is'. Alex glanced at Rob's smirk. 'I didn't meant that. Why does everyone think I'm like that!'. But before Rob could reply another smirk Jodi threw her arms around him. 'I've got it baby!'

'Jodi's screaming is still echoing in my ear. Ouch', Alex stated when they sat in the carriage. 'Ow poor boy', Stevie teased him. 'I'm serious here', Alex stared at her. 'Of course. I'm so curious what they have done with Wilgul.' 'You are sure about Wilgul, aren't you?', Alex asked. She kissed his cheek. 'I'm very sure, it's the perfect place for our family.' 'I like the sound of that, our family', Alex smiled, pulling her closer.
