One Year and five months Later…
"Mommy, up, up." Shannon said walking over to her mother on unsteady legs. Robin bent carefully down; being sure not to mess up her dress.
"Mommy!" Annalina screeched happily as she made her way over. Robin smiled at her two little girls and gestured to Brenda who came and picked Annie up while Robin picked up Shannon who they called Shannie up.
"We need to get them dressed." Robin said. "The wedding is starting in two hours." She added as she headed across the room to the closet where their dresses hung. Shannon and Annalina had matching pink dresses with white lace along the top and little pink silk flowers embroidering them. Robin struggled with Shannon who was very reluctant to put the dress which she had dubbed as 'icky' on. Brenda was doing a little better with Annalina who had always been much calmer. Finally after thirty minutes they had gotten the girls into their dresses and were putting on their matching white patent leather shoes, Robin placed two flower shaped barrettes in their hair and allowed the girls to totter around the room. Robin straightened up and smiled to herself. She would be marrying Patrick today.
Patrick…
Patrick was wrestling his son's into their mini-suits that Robin had bought them. Shawn was shaking his head vigorously and hiding behind Pete's leg. Pete smirked at Patrick. Alex wasn't much better he had crawled under a desk that was in the room and was refusing to come out. "You could help me you know." Patrick said.
"I could." Pete said with a nod; not moving to help, instead he smiled down at Shawn who was looking at him with wide brown eyes. Patrick rolled his eyes and headed behind the desk to grab Alex, he just managed to grab the little boy before he crawled past him. Patrick just managed to get Alex into his suit and had turned back to Shawn.
"Shawn."
"Nuuh."
"Shawn." Patrick said in a stern voice. The little boy let out an exasperated sigh while his brother pulled at his tie frustrated. Finally Shawn released his hold on Pete and walked over to his Dad allowing him to put him in the offending garment. "Bring them to Robin, okay? They're supposed to walk down with the girls." Patrick said nodding at his friend.
"Come on guys. Come with Uncle Pete." Pete said as he bent down and lifted the boys up and headed out of the room. They both waved bye to their Daddy over his shoulder.
"Knock, Knock." Pete said when he reached Robin's door. The door was opened a second later by Brenda who stepped back and allowed him to enter. "I brought you something." He said as he put the kids down next to their sisters.
" 'Awnie." Shannon said grabbing her brother's hand. "Om see." She added pulling him over to a large piece of lint she had spotted on the ground. Alex and Annie were currently having some conversation which made no sense to any of the adults in the room.
"You look beautiful." Pete said to Robin. She grinned at him.
"You don't look so bad yourself." Pete smirked at her and turned to Brenda.
"You look gorgeous as always Miss Barrett." Pete said giving her an innocent look.
"Shove it." Brenda responded. Pete gave her a scandalized look. And Robin looked amused at least until she heard a shout come from Shannon who had run behind her brother and was gesturing wildly.
"What happened, Shannie?" Robin asked.
"Mouse." Shawn said sounding excited. Brenda immediately took a step back. As did Annie. Alex and Shawn both look excited at the prospect. Robin had wrinkled her nose up and was holding her skirts off the floor.
"Where's the mouse Shawn?" Robin asked her son. While Shannon continued to duck behind her brother.
"Un'er desk." Shawn responded. Robin reached out and pulled Shannon and Shawn back. "I yike mouse." Shawn said looking at his mother reproachfully.
"Well I don't." Robin said just as the door opened and Liz walked in.
"The priest said he's ready to start." Robin decided to worry about the mouse some other time and herded her children out into the main hallway. It took her, Brenda, and Liz to get the children into line. First would be Alex with Annie and then Shannie with Shawn. Then Maxie and Georgie. Finally Liz and Brenda would follow. Pete excused himself and slipped past the group and up to the altar to stand with Patrick.
Amazingly the kids made it down the aisle with few incidences. Although Shawn had pulled Annie's hair from his position behind her; which caused the little girl to shriek and hit him; which in turn outraged Shannon. So, Shannon had slapped her sister; which made Alex mad so he made to hit Shannon but Shawn grabbed his arm. Fortunately they did this where within reach of Patrick and Pete who each grabbed two of the children. Maxie, Georgie, Liz, and Brenda followed and next came Robin and her Dad. Patrick smiled as he looked up to meet her eyes, he'd never seen someone look more beautiful. The priest waited until Patrick and Robin had linked hands before beginning.
"Do you Patrick Noah Drake take Robin Anna Devane-Scorpio to be your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, to honor and cherish, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"
"I do."
"Do you Robin Anna Devane-Scorpio take Patrick Noah Drake to be your lawfully wedded husband to have and to hold, to honor and cherish, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?"
"I do." Robin said smiling up at Patrick.
"Then by the power vested in me by the Lord God and the State of New York. I pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss the bride." The priest said. Patrick grinned and leaned down capturing Robin's lips just as he heard four very scandalized sounding gasps. They broke apart to see Shannon burying her head in Shawn's shoulder; while Shawn had closed his eyes tight. Alex had his hands over his eyes. And Anna was glaring at her parent's reproachfully. Patrick and Robin grinned at each other and linked arms heading back down the aisle. While Brenda, Liz, and Pete herded the kids after them. Everything had worked out in the end. As they had always known it would.
A/N Review. There will be one more chapter and then it is complete. I may do a sequel if you want the sequel review and let me know. But I won't update if I don't get reviews.
