I want to apologize for this taking so long to write this. I got really distracted by college, it can be very time consuming. I hope the wait was worth it.
Part 3: Aftermath
Tony couldn't help but smile as he watched Tim walk down the aisle, toward the woman he truly loved. He could see that Stacy was not having the same reaction. Tears were sliding down her face, messing up the makeup that had once been perfection, and she was yelling intensely at her bridesmaids, who were only trying to comfort her.
"Did you know that was going to happen Tony?" Jimmy asked, deeply confused by the turn of events.
"No autopsy gremlin, I did not know. I thought that something like this could happen, and I for one am very glad it did." Tony answered, a new smile on his face as he watched Ziva approach them, "How was Abby holding up?"
"I am sure she will perfect once McGee joins her." Ziva responded, a smile on her face as well, "She was very…."
"Who cares how that selfish bitch is doing." Stacy suddenly yelled, halting all conversations in the room, "She ruined what was supposed to be the most important day of my life. I can't help but believe all of you were in on it. This wedding was just some ploy to embarrass me in front of everyone I know."
Tony and Ziva raised their eyebrows at the accusation, while Jimmy tried to get out of the line of fire by taking a seat in the front pew. Before either of them could answer, and different voice chimed in, "Why do you assume that any of this was done to you and not for Tim?"
Stacy turned her glare on her ex-future-sister-in-law, "I know you've never liked me Sarah, but I never thought you would sink so low as to help destroy my wedding."
"Oh, I did no such thing. But I would gladly have helped if Abby had asked for it." Sarah replied, a glare of her own focused on Stacy as she got up from her seat to stand, "She at least doesn't treat me like a stupid kid and, she actually makes Tim smile, something I don't think I've ever seen you do."
Stacy didn't have a response to that, she didn't understand why everyone was against her. She turned on her heels and stormed out, her bridesmaids and family right behind her, but before she left the room, she yelled, "You're all going to pay for this."
Tony laughed it off with, "I'm sure we will honey." Causing the people closest to him to laugh, while he was pretty sure Stacy hadn't even heard it, "Well, I think this occasion calls for a drink, who's with me?"
"I couldn't agree more my boy." Ducky answered, "But, I do think we should get rid of all these people first, since the bride didn't seem to."
"Right." Tony answered, then raised his voice and said, "I'm sure you've all noticed that the wedding isn't going to happen, so, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. I'm sure all of your gifts will be returned to you when the bride is down having her meltdown. Thank you all for coming."
"Great job Tony." Ziva said sarcastically.
"It was all I could think of to say. And, it worked, they are all leaving." Tony gestured to the line of people now exiting the church, "How about we all get out of these monkey suits and meet back up at your place Boss?"
Gibbs simply nodded his head in agreement before joining everyone else in leaving the church.
!
"I didn't think Abby would go through with it." Tony commented as they all sat around in Gibbs' living room, drinking and eating.
"I did. The entire day I was just waiting for Abby to show up." Ziva responded, the only one in the room with whom Abby had told of her plan and doubts about it.
"I am just happy we never have to talk to Stacy again, that woman scared me." Jimmy commented before taking a drink of his beer, glad he was invited, he had never been to Gibbs' house before.
Jimmy's comment started the entire room to laugh, before Ducky asked, "Did anyone ever tell McGee that we didn't like Stacy?"
"I told him not to marry her." Gibbs answered.
"I didn't think it was an okay thing to say." Tony answered, "Tim just seemed so happy, I didn't want to ruin it for it him. He cares a lot about our opinions."
"I told him." Ziva answered, "I think I lost my credibility though when I told him he should be with Abby. He got very angry."
"Well, it all turned out okay in the end." Gibbs answered, causing everyone to look at him in surprise, he noticed all their eyes and asked "What?"
Everyone just laughed again and Gibbs eventually joined in, happy that everyone on his team was happy and safe. Even if they were breaking a few of the rules.
Reviews would be lovely! Thanks for reading, hope it was everything you wanted.
