"A part of you has grown in me. And so you see, it's you and me together forever and never apart, maybe in distance, but never in heart" - Brooke Zuroweste
It's wedding day now and Christi is bouncing her feet nervously as she was getting her hair and make-up done. She was so scared but excited at the same time.
"Christi stop fidgeting or you're going to get burnt with curling iron!" Veronica teases.
"I know. I just can't. I'm nervous, scared and excited."
"That's normal but you need to calm down or your hair and makeup are going to look like crap." Veronica said gently bouncing Harmony.
"I'm trying but I also feel like…" she trialed off looking for the right wording as she hasn't told anyone but Veronica as she just wants to make sure that she really might be pregnant then she thought of one and then blew a raspberry.
Veronica laughs and says, "That's expected since…"
"Stop right there! I know."
Veronica looked at her.
"YOU HAVEN'T TOLD!" she asks shocked.
"I just need to be 100% sure. Right now I'm like 10%. I'm waiting for my doctor to call me and tell me." She said as her cell rang.
"Well speak of the devil!" Veronica said handing Christi her cell phone.
Christi picks it up and she smiles brightly.
"Yes, thank you. These next two weeks I'm not going to be home but any time after that I will be." She said.
She's silent for a moment then says, "That's fine."
She silent again then hangs up.
"So?" Veronica asks.
"It's true!" she squeals smiling.
"YES! Where's Mark? I'll drag his ass in here!" Lexie squeals figuring it out.
"Two floors down room 506." Christi said.
"Okay I'll be back!" Lexie said going and running down there.
She gets there and knocks on the door and Mark opens the door finishing tying his bow tie. He was already dressed all he had to put on was his jacket then he was done.
"Mark, you gotta come upstairs. Christi has something uber great to tell you!" Lexie squeals bouncing grabbing his hand and dragging him out of the guys room.
They get back up there and Lexie knocks forgetting to grab the room key when she ran out.
Veronica opens the door and says, "Wait a minute she's getting her dress on and is having a minor panic attack."
"Let me guess because of the uber good news?" Mark asks.
"Yup." Veronica said.
"Okey dokey Ronnie it's on all they're doing is lacing the back up and trying to suffocate me!" Christi giggles about her friend Maria from Miami.
"Hey they showed me how to tie and I'm doing that!" she laughs.
Mark comes in and smiles.
"Oh sweetheart you look gorgeous." He said.
"Thanks daddy." She smiles.
"So what's this great news that Lexie literally dragged me away from getting ready for."
"Well in seven months Seth is going to be an older brother." Christi smiles.
"That's great!" Mark said and he went and hugged her tightly.
"Yea, now go finish getting ready and not a word to Alex. I just found out. I was 10% sure before now that I know for sure I wanna tell him tonight."
"Okay." He said as he left to go and finish getting ready.
"Grandpa is mommy okay?"
"She's fine sport just really excited and nervous but more excited."
"Is mommy…"
"Yea she is and how did you find out?"
"I heard mommy and someone named Maria talking and mommy tell her."
"Yea well she just the confirmation today about it."
"Awesome! Does daddy know?" Seth asks point to Alex.
"Not yet, she's going to tell him tonight."
"Okay! I'll stay uber quiet! Am I still pushing Harmony down since she's the flower girl?" he asks as he was the ring bear and Harmony was the flower girl.
"As far as I know." Mark said as the planner came in.
"Five minute guys." She said.
"Okay thanks Amy." Alex said as she left.
"Five more minutes left of being a bachelor Alex then you're tied down for life." Jackson teases.
"And I couldn't be happier." Alex counters back.
A few minutes later they all head down and Alex starts bouncing on his toes as he was really nervous as well.
They start and when the wedding march starts Alex looks and smiles when he sees Christi coming down on Mark's arm.
When they get up to the vows Christi had happy tears rolling down her cheeks and she was just happy she used waterproof make up because if she hadn't her makeup would have been running down her face.
"I, Alexander Michael Karev, take you, Christina Jasmine Sloan, to be my partner, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know. I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together, getting to know the woman you will become, and falling in love a little more every day. I promise to love and cherish you through whatever life may bring us."
"I, Christina Jasmine Sloan, take you, Alexander Michael Karev, to be my partner, loving what I know of you, and trusting what I do not yet know. I eagerly anticipate the chance to grow together, getting to know the man you will become, and falling in love a little more every day. I promise to love and cherish you through whatever life may bring us."
Seth smiles and bounces. He was happy to getting a father and that he was going to be an older brother he was also happy that his mom was happy with someone who made her really happy as well as him.
"Can I have the rings please?" the priest asks smiling at Seth who nods eagerly and takes the box that Alex had given him from his pocket.
Alex smiles and ruffles Seth's hair making him pull away scowling making Alex chuckle.
The priest Alex what to say as he places the ring on Christi's hand to join it's matching engagement ring.
"I have for you a silver ring. The most precious metal symbolizes that your love is the most precious element in my life. The ring has no beginning and no ending, which symbolizes that the love between us will never cease. I place it on your finger as a visible sign of the vows which have made us husband and wife." Alex said sliding it onto her hand.
Christi smiles and repeats what Alex had just done.
"I have for you a silver ring. The most precious metal symbolizes that your love is the most precious element in my life. The ring has no beginning and no ending, which symbolizes that the love between us will never cease. I place it on your finger as a visible sign of the vows which have made us husband and wife." She said sliding his wedding band onto his hand.
"By the power invested in me by the power of Seattle, Washington I now pronounce you husband and wife you may kiss your bride."
Alex smiles and wraps his arms around her waist and pulls her to him making her laugh and he kisses her. She wraps her arms around his neck and smiles into the kiss.
Mark grins and says, "Alright you two enough of that!"
Christi pulls back and starts laughing going bright red in the face as Lexie slaps him playfully and Veronica throws her small bouquet of flowers at him.
"That was mean!" she giggles.
The rest of the day goes well and Christi and Alex head up to their hotel room for the night before they head to Greece in the morning for two weeks.
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7
