It was now almost two weeks until the wedding and Laura seemed to be stressing about the fact that she didn't have something borrowed or something blue. Mia was now on mission to try and make her adoptive mother happy. She had been wondering around trying to think of something blue. Finally giving up she headed for the science labs.

"Hey uncle Mer. Can I ask you a question?"

"Yes Mia. What is it?"

"What could I get mom for her something blue?" McKay stopped and looked up from his laptop and thought to for a couple of minutes. Finally he said, "Has she got her bouquet yet?"

"I am unsure. She scares me when she starts speaking about the wedding." Mia said.

"Well you could always get her a blue bouquet of fake roses." McKay suggested. Mia looked puzzled by this.

"Why fake?" she asked confused.

"Because real flowers make Laura cry." Mia looked at Rodney with a confused look on her face. "How would I get these flowers?" she asked. Rodney chuckled and said, "Don't worry about it. I will sort it out for you."

"Thank you uncle Mer. What about her something borrowed?" Rodney waved a hand dismissively. "Don't worry about that either. I have that one covered."

"Ok uncle Mer. See you later for dinner." Mia said smiling and left Rodney to his work.

Two weeks later he was walking towards her quarters to pick her up. As he approached he knocked on the door and let himself into her quarters. What he saw was Laura trying to walk in her white shoes, she hadn't noticed him enter, as she was too busy looking at her feet. She had one hand holding up her dress so that she could see her feet and the other hand on a blue rose bouquet. He cleared his throat; she looked up startled, "Hey. Am I late?" she started to walk towards him and stumbled, he caught her before she fell on the floor, "Thanks. These shoes are gonna drive me nuts." He looked around and noticed her white trainers by the door.

"Why don't you wear those? Isn't your dress long enough to cover them so that no-one can see them?" Laura looked up mischievously.

"Never thought of that! Thanks Rodney." She smiled at him and took off her shoes and put on her trainers. She stood up and smiled. "There all done. You ready to go?"

"Yes. I was wondering if you had managed to find something borrowed?" he asked nervously.

"No. I couldn't find anything. Why?" Rodney looked at her and handed her a rectangular velvet box.

"What's this?" Rolling his eyes he said, "Well open it and find out." Laura opened the box. Inside was a beautiful heart shaped necklace with small diamonds embedded into the shape. She looked at Rodney, "Rodney I couldn't possibly…" He held up his hand, "Please. It would mean a lot to me if you would wear it today." He blushed and she walked up to him and gave him a hug. "I would be honoured Rodney." She picked the necklace out of the box and fumbled with the clasp. "Would you mind?" He took the necklace from her hand and fastened it around her neck. She turned around and smiled. She took a deep breath and said, "Should we go?"

"Yeah. But there's one thing I think we should do first."

"What's that?" she asked confused. He walked up to her shoes and picked them up. He held out his hand, she looked at him quizzically before taking his hand and they left her quarters. They ran to the nearest balcony and Rodney handed her, her shoes. "Go on then."

"Go on then what?"

"Throw them in." Laura looked at him happily and handed him one of her shoes. "On three?" Rodney looked at the shoe and said, "OK. One…"

"Two…"

"Three!" They said together and threw the shoes into the ocean. They gripped the railing to stop them from falling over with laughter. After a couple of minutes they stopped laughing and Rodney turned to her and said, "Ready to go?"

"Yeah why not?" Rodney held out his arm and Laura took it and they walked towards the gateroom.
