A/N: Final chapter time. Sorry it's so late. I have no excuses, it's been written long enough.

Chapter Ten

Syed stood alone in the room, nervously waiting what was going to happen next. He was waiting for Christian to arrive. He nervously fidgeted with the cuff of his shirt, finding a loose thread and started to pick at it.

"Stop fidgeting," Zainab warned him.

"I can't. I'm too nervous," her son replied.

"He'll be here, don't worry."

"What if he changed his mind?"

"He hasn't, the man worships the ground you walk on. He'll be here so stop worrying and enjoy the day."

Syed smiled at his mother. It made her happy to see him so happy especially after all of the pain and anguish he had been put through over the last few months. It was over now, she hoped. The leukaemia had gone into remission and now all he had to show for it were the pills he had to take to make sure the cancer stayed away. His hair had grown back to its original state, curly and flyaway but no matter how much Zainab pestered him to cut it he wouldn't. Part of her was glad about that; she loved to see him look just as he had done.

"He's here," Masood said as he opened the door to the room. Syed and Zainab turned; first of all to Masood and then to each other, a look of happiness and anticipation crossing their faces.

"I told you he would come," Zainab smiled at her son. "Come on, it's a very big day for you," she took hold of Syed's hand and led him out and down the corridor, towards another room.

Christian was standing there, waiting and looking amazing. Syed had always thought his lover looked good in a suit but the sight of him only confirmed it. He wanted to run up and kiss him there and then; ignoring all the other people in the room. Instead, he walked slowly towards Christian, the biggest smile across his lips. Once he reached him; Christian took his hand in his and ran the other one through Syed's hair.

"I love you," he said quietly.

"I love you too."

"Shall we do this?"

"Yes," Syed smiled and turned towards the officiate.

Their day was finally here after so much heartache, they had made it. It was a small affair, only in a registry office and nowhere near as elaborate as Syed's first wedding had been but it was perfect. They were all each other needed and felt they didn't need a large celebration to show off how happy they were.

Christian never took his eyes off Syed the entire time they said their vows, the smile never left his lips. He thought Syed looked the most perfect and handsome man in the room. Syed turned and looked at his mother and father; Zainab even had a tear in her eye, something Syed thought he would never see.

He was glad she had finally accepted him and Christian together; it meant the world to him that she was there on the most important day of his life.

They were still living on the Square. They had moved back into Christian's old flat above the chip shop shortly after Syed had been given the all clear. Syed was even back working at the unit; again something he thought would never happen. He could not believe how everything had turned out for the best.

And so they joined together in holy matrimony, together forever and nothing now could part them. Christian leaned in and gave Syed a kiss on the lips?

"I love you," he said to Syed again.

"So what do we do now?" Syed asked.

"Whatever we want," Christian grinned and pulled him in for another kiss.
