Mercy has often wondered what was worth living and caring for. But, now she knows that it's her family and the others living in Camp McCarran. And as shown, she is quite capable of dealing with the various injuries that her family has gotten over fighting the damned Fiends and the Legion. Well, any who were still loyal to the old Casear of course.
The others are now loyal to her uncle and well, they help find the camps and tell the Rangers were they are. And many have opted to defect to the NCR as head scouts or as hand to hand trainers.
Mercy is thankful for those have watched over her for the past two months or so before she went into labor once back home. and, well, it took several hours until she delivered two healthy baby girls they named Hannah, after her mother and the other Carly. after a childhood friend of hers. Bitterroot smiled as they both cried tears of joy over their new born daughters.
and the wedding plans were started to be worked on once there and it started picking up speed. And the day that the wedding was placed to be on had dawned bright and clear and Mercy was happy for it when Manny handed her her mother's wedding gown and said. "I'm sure your mother would have loved to have had the chance to have seen you wear this Mercy girl."
She smiled and replied. "And to be honest papa, I wish mama was here. But I know that she's watching over us all from Heaven or where ever our souls go after death." And she slipped into the dress and it fit her like a glove even after she has given birth to twin daughters, who within their own time, will become heart breakers after their mother and grandmother.
Her mother's companions were invited and well, she's blushing madly as Boone told her how she looked just like her mother. The music was started while Bitterroot shifted his weight from foot to foot when he saw Mercy dressed up like a doll and she was escorted down the aisle by her father and her godfather on either side of her.
Arcade was doing the ceremony as a favor to Hannah, who had over nineteen years, ago had asked him to do so if he could and he agreed. The two exchanged their vows when Arcade asked the groom, "Bitterroot, do you have the ring?" And the 23 year old soldier nodded as he replied. "I do have it. It was once my mother's. And now, well she figured it was time to pass it on." And slipped his mother's wedding ring onto his wife left ring finger as Arcade told him. "You may now kiss the bride."
And the two kissed each other with love and trust. When Hannah and Carly started whimpering for some attention and Mercy sighed as she said. "I suppose that duty calls," as she went to the babies and started breastfeeding first the one and then the other as they settled into the gathering after the wedding had happened.
Once back inside the airplane terminal, everyone was milling about as she shifted Carly around a bit as she and Bitterroot, who was holding Hannah at the time, were the centers of attention for over the next several hours when they were finally rescued by her father and her mother's companions for a smaller gathering inside a tent. Sarah smiled as she said. "It's good to see that you two had finally gotten married after everything that's had happened and all without the shit hitting the fan too. Well done you two, well done."
Mercy nodded in answer as Hannah started to cry a bit and she gave Carly yo her father as she took her and cradled the babe close to her heart and quietly began singing a gentle lullaby. "Hush little one, be not afraid/I'll be here for you/ For as long as you and Carly will need me and papa/Sometime, further on down the road/ You'll both love and hate how we try and guide the two of you/ Down the right path/ But also within time/ you and Carly will know that we do this out of love for you both are our daughters/ And we will always be there until it's time for you two to stand tall/ And it's for us to let both of you go/ But until then, just know this/ We'll be there when you and your sister need us until the end of time."
Both Carly and Hannah quieted down and both fell asleep as they were put into their joint crib for a much needed nap. And well, Mercy hasn't had a chance to drink on account of the fact that she's not old enough for it yet and she's also breastfeeding her twin daughters too. And she is now a wife and mother who now has the chance to live a dream that she's been having for over the past five years, a clinic in Novac for those who have opted to rebuild it and occupy the town as traders and farmers.
