Rebecca found Nick outside in the grotto, leaning against a tree.
Rebecca sighed and walked over to him. He heard her coming and turned to face her.
Rebecca took his hand in her.
"Babe, you can't let her get to you. It's what she wants" She said.
Nick sighed, "I know, but when she say's I don't love you…….."
"I know you love me. That's all that matters" Rebecca said.
Nick didn't say anything.
Rebecca sighed again, "Look, if she can't see our obvious love for each other, then that's her problem. I don't care what she thinks."
Nick smiled, "I guess you're right. That's her problem."
Rebecca smiled back and kissed him gently.
"Come on, let's go back inside. I left Claire with Summer" She said.
Nick grinned, "Yeah, we better go, don't want Summer to forget about her"
"Nick!" Rebecca said, smacking his arm.
"Kidding! Kidding!" He said.
They went back in together.
An hour later, Matt and Summer left for their honeymoon. And the guest's left.
Rebecca, Jamie, Aaron and Kelly are cleaning up after the reception. Nick, Luke, Alyssa and Jason all went home to put babies to bed.
"I've got to say girls, you certainly know how to throw a wedding" Kelly said.
"Thanks" Rebecca said.
"So, I noticed Summer's parents weren't here. I mean, I know she ran away when she was 16, but it's her wedding for goodness sake" Kelly said.
"We sent them an invitation, but we weren't planning on them coming." Jamie said.
"The Black's aren't very pleasant to be around." Rebecca said, "Plus, it would probably be kind of dangerous if they did. They don't like muggles."
"Muggles?" Kelly asked.
"Non-magic folk, like yourself and Aaron." Jamie explained.
Kelly nodded, "Oh, okay. Yeah, I think I remember my husband talking about them when he was still alive, the Blacks, I mean."
"Yeah, well, they disowned her when she ran away."
Kelly gasped, "No!"
Jamie nodded, "Yeah. Her uncle left her a lot of money and stuff though, so she wasn't completely without anything. He died a couple years back though."
"Well, at least some family cared about her" Kelly said.
"I offered to adopt her, but the Potter's basically did all ready." Aaron said.
"Well, you don't have to adopt her anymore!" Rebecca said.
They all laughed.

Matt and Summer are on their Honeymoon in the Bahamas. They're walking on the beach together.
"This is so weird" Summer said as warm sand squished between her toes.
"What is?" Matt asked.
Summer looked around. There were no muggle's within hearing distance.
"Not having wands" Summer said quietly, just in case.
"Yeah, it does. Almost makes me feel unprotected. I don't know where'd you put it anyway." He said, gesturing to Summer's black and white bikini.
Summer giggled, "True"
The sand slowly receded into rock as they walked. They walked up a giant rock which was jutting out over the water.
They just stood there, watching the waves hit the rock nosily. Summer leaned her head on Matt's shoulder.
Summer sighed happily, "This is great. You, me, and the beach. I like it."
Matt leaned his on hers, "Me too."
Suddenly, Matt started to back up. Her let go of her hand, and kept moving backwards, grinning mischievously.
"Matt?" Summer asked suspiciously.
He just kept grinning and backing up. Once he got to the bottom where the rock met the sand and paused, and then launched himself towards Summer.
Summer knew what he was about to do.
"No! Matt, no!" She yelled.
Too late, Matt grabbed her and jumped into the water below. Summer's scream was cut-off as they hit the water.
They both came up for air at the same time.
"Matthew Reed!" Summer complained.
Matt just started laughing; Summer splashed him.
Matt turned to swim back to shore. Summer put her hands on the top of his head and put her wait on him. It worked; Matt's head went under the water. But Matt was just as quick. He grabbed her ankle and pulled her under with him.
When they came back up Summer splashed him again.
"No fair!" Summer pouted.
Matt grinned, Come on, don't be such a baby. Just because I beat you"
She just stuck out her tongue.
"Very mature, Summer" Matt said, laughing.
Summer gave a defeated sigh.
"Fine, you win." Summer said.
Matt grinned, "Of course I do, I'm the man"
Summer rolled her eyes, "Yeah, that's why we beat you in the prank-off in fifth year."
Matt scoffed, "I was going easy on you girls"
Summer raised her eyebrows, "Mmhm, sure."
"You know what; whoever reaches the shore first is the man." Summer said.
Before Matt could protest, she took off swimming. Matt sighed and then followed.
Summer was sitting on the beach when Matt finally made it to the shore.
"How…Do….You….Do….That?" He asked, out of breath form the swim.
Summer just grinned at him.
"All right, I think that's enough beach for today, you ready for diner?" Matt asked after he caught his breath.
"Sure, but I'm not moving till you admit, I'm the man" Summer said.
Matt rolled his and sighed, "You're the man Summer."
"Aw, thank you honey" Summer said.
Matt rolled his eyes again and helped her up.
Summer and Matt stayed in the Bahamas for a week and a half, and then returned to London.
