It was later during the planning when Carolina realized a important thing about her fiancé, she didn't know his name. "York this is something I should probably know but what is your name?" York looked up from the tablet with a dumbstruck expression "How is it that after years of being in the project together and then living together as civilians for two years do we not know each others real names?" They both looked at each other and Carolina saw York's lips twitch with a suppressed laugh but seeing this just set off Carolina which caused York to joined in. This drew the attention of the three AI who only looked on in confusion as their Agents held on to each other laughing. "Oh god I can't breath" Carolina gasped.

"Well it is pretty ridiculous we have just been writing 'Free' at the end of our names when we need to sign things." York said and Carolina laughed softly under her breath.

"So what is your name really?"

"Richard Haroway. You?"

"Carolina Church." York blinked.

"Wait your name is really Carolina?"

"Never wondered why there is no north or south in my name? After all there are two states called Carolina but only one agent. Besides where do you think the director got the idea of the codenames?"

"You were the first Freelancer." It was not a question just a fact. Carolina was just thankful that he was not asking questions about the director. She was pretty sure few of the freelances were aware of the directors last name and in York's list of important things to remember it was likely not very high up there.

"Yes." They both sat in silence. "Yo-Rich- arch this is going to take some time to adjust to."

"Can you just call me York? I like it better than Richard and besides everyone else will just get confused." York said with a small smile.

" I'm confused never mind everyone else."


The wedding a month later was nothing fancy. Carolina wore the only skirt she had and York wore his cleanest clothes. The ceremony was held in the meeting hall in front of a large part of the town because who doesn't like a good wedding? Even the Agris family whom York and Carolina worked for had come. Just before the ceremony started a small figure darted up to Carolina, it was wild cat who carried a small bouquet of wild flowers. The moment Carolina had a good grasp the wild cat disappeared. Carolina stared after the girl before looking at the wild flowers which were fresh and very colorful. "Never seen Wild Cat get that close to a person" Caleb Jr. said from his place beside her. As Carolina had no idea where her father was, and would bet the house that he would not be even be remotely happy that she was getting married, Caleb Jr. had volunteered to give her away/prevent her from falling on her face with the death trap known as heels which had been forced on her by Susan, Caleb Jr.'s wife.

Carolina took a deep breath as music started to play. In any of the short daydreams Carolina had she had never thought her wedding would be to a fellow soldier on a planet she was couldn't get off. She also didn't think she would ever marry but here she was and to be honest there was no where else she would want to be except maybe out of these heels.

Every one was standing on two sides the chairs were all different as people had bought their own. Carolina could see York standing next to the mayor. There was this look in his eye that Carolina didn't reconse but it made her blush slightly. "Ready?" Caleb wispered in her ear. Not in the slightest was carolina's mental reply.

"Where's the brave soldger, Carolina?" Iota wispered in her head

"You have been wantting this for a long time even if you didn't know it then, don't be a coward!" Eta told her.

"It's just like another mission your leading your old team, only now the objective is to get married, be confident." Iota suggested, pulling at some of her memories of missions, normally this would annoy her but she knew they were both just trying to help.

"Yes" She wispered to Caleb and he startd to lead her down the aisle. Then she was facing York and the mayor dressed in a bright vest was reading from a book and music was playing but Carolina was focused on York and he was focused on her.

"I do" She heard him say as she slipped a copper band around his finger.

"I do" She said as he slipped a identical ring on her finger.

"I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride."

The kiss was slow and sweet.


Afterwards a few people gave the newlyweds gifts. The local smith gave them a set if pots and pans, a woman who made a hobby of wood carving whom Carolina had befriended caved them a wooden set of bowls and plates and the Agris family gave them produce from the farm as well as spices and herbs, a few other people gave gifts as well.

The other guests all tossed a coin in a basket for the couple. Both York and Carolina had protested at the tradition but the Agris family which had helped the couple plan the wedding had been firm on this point. "If you don't do it you both label your selves outsiders and show arrogance because if the basket is 'ent there it means you have no need for money so let them throw their pocket change in the basket it is cheaper than a gift but you can get a lot from such thing." Caleb Sr.'s wife had told them.

After the celebration York and Carolina worked to move York's things to Carolina's larger room. With this done they pulled their AI for the night before getting ready for bed though both doubted there would be much sleeping.


Sorry this is so short And took so long the first part was not planed but I realized that normally you know the name of the person you are marrying so that bit got put in. The wedding was a little tricky to write as well. I don't even like what I wrote in my notebook that much so I wrote more of it later in the day and replaced the chapter. Sorry for the really cheesy ceremony but I have not been to a wedding in ages. I realized as I was writing this that I didn't write chapter three the way I wrote it in the notebook meaning that for you readers the Agris family basically just poped up out of no where. At some point I am going to get a beta or ask my friend and we will revise the chapters and I will fill that in. But just to clarify the Agris family is the family that York and Carolina work for. Caleb SR. is the old man who hired him and Caleb Jr. is his son. Not that this is reverent in any way but I am currently fighting with my cat for the bacon. Anyway this chapter was prompted by two guests who asked me to "post soon". Review and I will post the chapter otherwise it could take a while. I own nothing.
