Chapter Twelve
Charlotte Beladore was walking up the aisle of the nave towards the front. Jacobs and Kent got up from their pew to stop her. "My son is dead because of him!" she shouted as Jacobs tried to calm her down.
"Ms Beladore, I'm going to have to ask you to leave the church," he said. "Or Agent Kent and I are going to have to have you removed."
"I am not going to stay silent about this," she said. "My son was murdered by your agency."
"Your son was holding a gun to a federal agent's head," Jacobs said. "Now, let's go." It took both him and Kent to remove her from the nave. With Charlotte out of the way, Arthur turned to Gwen who was trying not to cry.
"Hey, she's gone," he said. "You okay?"
"I'm fine," she said. "Can we just get this over with and get to our reception?" she asked. Arthur chuckled before nodding to the pastor.
"We're ready," he said. The pastor nodded and opened his book.
"The bride and groom have requested that I do the original vows," he said. "Do you Arthur Michael Pendragon take this woman as you lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse as long as you both shall live?" the pastor asked.
"I do," Arthur said. Movement caught his eye and he glanced over to see Jacobs and Kent coming back into the church.
"And do you Guinevere Ashlynn Rylee take this man to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold in sickness and in health, for richer or poorer, for better or worse as long as you both shall live?"
"I do," she said.
"Uh, the rings?" Mo stepped forward and held up the pillow. The reverend took the female ring and handed it to Arthur. "Repeat after me, 'With this ring, I thee wed',"
"With this ring, I thee wed," Arthur repeated putting the ring on Gwen's finger.
"It is a symbol of my undying love and fidelity."
"It is a symbol of my undying love and fidelity." The pastor then handed the male ring to Gwen.
"With this ring, I thee wed," he said.
"With this ring I thee wed," she repeated.
"It is a symbol of my undying love and fidelity."
"It is a symbol of my undying love and fidelity." A sharp cry erupted and they looked over to see Igraine crying out into a handkerchief, her ex husband patting her on the back.
"And by the power vested in by the state of God, I now pronounce you man and wife," the pastor said. "You may kiss your bride, young man," he said.
"I think I will," Arthur said causing Gwen to chuckle and Arthur kissed her softly before dipping her for a more dramatic kiss. The guests clapped and cheered as the groom kissed his bride. Gwen was full of laughter by the time Arthur pulled her up from the kiss.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Mr. and Mrs. Arthur Pendragon," the pastor announced and the guests clapped louder. Music blared through the organ as Katie handed Gwen her her bouquet and the newly married couple walked down the aisle. Their attendants followed by their parents. The reception line just outside the nave formed with the parents of the newlyweds and the bride and groom. Everyone gathered outside with their pouches of rice and flower petals. Once they greeted the guests, Arthur and Gwen prepared to go outside and be pummeled by rice and petals.
"So, how does it feel?" he asked. "You're Mrs. Arthur Pendragon now."
"It's going to be a pain changing my name at the hospital," she said.
"Hey," he said causing Gwen to chuckle before she kissed him chastely.
"Come on," she said. "We have a reception to go to."
The reception at the Hilton Washington Embassy Row was spectacular. The Grand Ball room was the perfect fit for the 100 guests who RSVP'd for the reception. The three tiered wedding cake with white flowers and etching was done beautifully. Merlin, with his low tolerance for alcohol was cut off from the bar by Arthur with help from Morgana. Last thing they needed was the best man to be drunk for his speech. Merlin stood up with his glass and began his speech.
"You two are living proof that speed dating can produce results," he said causing laughter. "I remember Arthur telling me about how his mother signed him up for the event where he met Gwen without his permission. He wasn't happy at first, but in the end he went just to make her happy. The following Monday at work, he told me that one day he was going to have to thank her. He spent the entire weekend with Gwen after meeting her. In those two days, they got to know each other really well and by the time they were well into the relationship, they were like a married couple." Arthur rolled his eyes as Gwen laughed. "I never seen Arthur fit with someone so well. Gwen is a wonderful person and she keeps him grounded. Not to mention she's a doctor so he's covered if he gets sick," he added causing people to laugh. "May you have many years and happy memories together guys." Merlin raised his glass to the happy couple and the guests began clapping.
Gwen let out a soft groan as she sat down on the bed. It's been hours since the end of their reception, the only guests left were family as Arthur and Gwen made their way to the honeymoon suite. She craned her neck to see where Arthur was, but she couldn't see him. She stood up from the bed and reached behind her to untie the back of her dress. She groaned in frustration when she couldn't reach them. "Let me help you with that Mrs. Pendragon," she heard Arthur say and his fingers undid the ties of her dress. "I like the dress by the way," he said.
"Yeah, I got that when I walked down the aisle." Arthur finished untying the dress and she turned around, holding the front of the dress.
"Thank you," she said. "I'll be right back," she added giving Arthur a chaste kiss.
"But, can't I watch?" he asked. Gwen closed the bathroom door behind her answering his question. Arthur sighed out as he pulled off his tuxedo jacket and sat down on the bed. He laid back onto it with a sigh and closed his eyes. The door to the bathroom opened, but he didn't hear it. Gwen quietly walked over in her new Georgette Baby doll lingerie that she bought just for this night. No sense in having someone buy it for her for the bridal shower. It was something they could keep between themselves. Arthur made no indication that he heard her come into the bedroom, so she carefully got onto the bed and straddled him. This caused him to wake up and looked up. Arthur froze seeing his wife in lingerie that he didn't think she owned. "Arthur?" she asked worried that he might have been in shock. "Say something."
"God have mercy." Gwen giggled before Arthur grabbed her hips and pulled her down onto the bed.
"Ah!" she squealed.
"Where did you get this?" he asked.
"Fredrick's," she answered. "Do you like it?" she asked causing him to burst out a chuckle.
"I love it," he said. Gwen giggled before wrapping her arms around his neck and pulled him down into a kiss. Arthur groaned in surprise before kissing her back. Clothes stood no chance against their hands. Gwen carefully removed his clothes being that they were rented. Left in his underwear, Arthur began to remove the flimsy top that she had on. "Did I tell you how much I love this on you?" he asked. She giggled before lifting her arms to allow him to remove it from her. He kissed her on the lips before moving them down her neck. "God, I love you so much," he said in between kissing her neck. Without warning, she flipped them over to be on top. "Was it something I said?" he asked.
"No," she said. "There's no need for foreplay tonight."
"Straight to the chase," he said.
"There's plenty of time during the honeymoon in Hawaii for foreplay." She pulled down his boxers before sitting on top of him. "Besides, I've been wanting you out of that tux since I saw you in it." Arthur groaned when she swayed her hips and he sat up to help her remove her underwear. She shifted again to get a hold of him causing him to groan against her neck. She chuckled slightly before easing onto him, both letting out a deep groan.
"Two weeks is too long, wife," he said. She squealed again when he flipped them over. Her legs came around his waist and they soon found a rhythm. They made love like they hadn't in a long time, even though it was only two weeks. Arthur entwined his fingers with hers and pulled her hands over her head. "God, you feel so good," he said.
"Arthur," she moaned tightening her legs around his waist. It caused him to groan deeply, burying his face into her neck. He began to nip at it with his teeth. Gwen freed her hands and ran her fingers through Arthur's hair before pulling his head up and kissed him senseless. Moans were softened by each other as they neared the brink point. Arthur could tell that Gwen was not at the same point as him and reached down in between them to hurry her along. Gwen gasped out, breaking their kiss, and moaned loudly. "Arthur." His fingers continued to work their magic and he could hear Gwen losing her mind.
"That's it, baby," he gasped, his own walls coming down. "Come for me, baby," he said into her ear. Gwen squeezed her legs even tighter before letting out a loud moan before saying his name as her orgasm overcame her. Just as she exploded, Arthur removed his hand and braced himself against the bed as he exploded with him own orgasm. Gwen gasped out a laugh as if she knew something he didn't , but he made no comment as he put his weight onto his arms so he wouldn't crush her. "Oh, wow," he said looking at her. Both breathing heavily.
"What?" she asked.
"I knew there was a reason for marrying you," he said earning him a smack on his arm. "Ow!" He rolled off her and sank into the bed. "I'm glad we're not flying early tomorrow," he said.
"Me too," she said curling up beside him. She put an arm over him and sighed happily. "I love you," she said.
"I love you, too," he said. Soon, the energy they had finally wore off after a long day and they fell fast asleep.
Nine months later, Gywdre Alexander Pendragon was born.
