Chapter forty

Ammy's POV

"And now the bride and groom will read out the vows that they have written for each other. Alec, would you like to begin?" the vicar probes, Alec nodding with a grin as he stares into my eyes, his thumbs stroking over the backs of my hands.

"I, Alec Carter, affirm my love to you, Ammy Northman, as I invite you to share my life. You are the most beautiful, Smart and generous person I have ever known, and I promise to always respect you and love you. With kindness, unselfishness and trust, I will work by your side to create a wonderful life together. But what I really want to say is that, Ammy, from the moment I saw you, I knew you were the one with whom I wanted to share my life with. Your beauty, heart and mind have inspired me to be the best person I can be, and I promise to love you for eternity, respecting you, honouring you, being faithful to you and sharing my life with you. God, now I sound like I'm repeating myself" he chuckles nervously, making me giggle as joyful tears begin to well in my eyes.

"It's okay, go on" I whisper encouragingly, smiling at him, him smiling back at me as he takes a deep breath.

"Everything I had just said before is my solemn vow to you. In fact, lets go back to the traditional vows; I take you, Ammy Northman, to be my lawful wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for riches or for poorer, in sickness and in health, for as long as we both shall live" I couldn't help but giggle lightly at his such varied, nervous and random vows, but my God I do love him and they were so romantic in my opinion.

"Ammy, would you like to say your vows?" the vicar asks, I nod my head as Alec wipes away a few stray tears that have escaped.

"The sun smiles on us today, our wedding day, and how can it not, for our love is stronger than forever and our hearts beat together as one. I promise to be a true and faithful partner from this day forward, in all life's circumstances, as we face them together. In the joys and sorrows, the good times and the bad, in sickness or in health, I will always be there for you, to comfort you, love you, honour and cherish you, now and forever more. I love you, always" I tell him, even more tears being released, Alec shaking his head with a smile on his face, he wraps his arms around me and pulls me to him, holding me close.

"We shall now have you two share rings" he announces, our ceremony has been tweaked slightly on our demands. We both accept the rings off of one of the young Angels, Jamie, where he then places my wedding ring on my finger and I place his on his wedding finger, our fingers interlacing as we grin at each other.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride" the vicar announces, me and Alec grinning like fools as he pulls me into his arms, his lips connecting to mine in a long, sweet kiss.

"I love you, Mrs Carter" he murmurs, kissing me again as I smile at him, my eyes briefly flickering to the side where I can see that Delilah is gone. She disappeared when the ceremony began, but I get a bad feeling she is planning something. What, I do not know. I just hope she doesn't know that I am going to her world to kill her, if she knew that vital information I would be doomed. She would be able to devise a plan against me to prevent me from attacking and killing her.

"Come on, let's go and celebrate our marriage" he murmurs, as we turn around ready to walk away, everyone clapping, even my family who are stood to the side our clapping and cheering. Within seconds my family come over to us, mom hugging me before hugging Alec.

"I'm proud of you" dad tells me as he pulls me into a hug for a few brief seconds before he pulls back, his eye staking me in.

"It is almost as if you have turned into a woman overnight. It is strange to see my child growing up so quickly, but I can see that you are mature beyond your years. You will make a great mother, just remember that I am always here for you no matter what. Me, your mom and the twins, your friends, everyone. We are all here for not only you but Alec as well" dad looks at Alec, Alec smiling and thanking him.

"I will let you go, I expect to see you soon, Ammy. Do not be a stranger now that you are married" dad chuckles, making me laugh as I wipe at the few tears that are still falling. I throw myself into dad's arms, holding him close.

"I love you, dad" I whisper before pulling back, leaning up and kissing her cheek. I give mom another hug, telling her that I love her too before I give the twins a hug. After that I take Alec's hand back in mine, after I have told them I will see them tomorrow at our reception – Alec and I decided we were better off having our reception tomorrow so that we didn't have too much stress on one day, what with us having to get ready and arrive on time, etcetera – he leans down and kisses me softly before we make our way through the flower garden.

Eric's POV

"She looked absolutely stunning" Sookie gushes when we get home, the twins running up stairs to get ready for bed.

"She did indeed, I still cannot believe that she is married. She is a young woman, but I do fear that her marriage may not be recognised here, especially with her only being 16. I know it is legal in that Angel world, but it is illegal here in our world" I point out.

"Do not worry about it, Eric. We know that it is there even if people around here do not accept it. As long as we acknowledge it, who cares?"

"You are right, Lover, but I still cannot believe how fast she has grown up. It feels as though it has only been a few days since she was that little confused six year old girl" my memories flashing back to when Sookie found her outside in the dark night, the rain pouring on her. I took a liking to her immediately, she reminded me of all things human. It only made my world when I found out she was truly my own daughter.

"She was going to grow up eventually, Eric. All children grow up one day, now we get to look forward to being grandparents. What do you say, grandpa Eric, shall we cuddle on the sofa and watch films?" Sookie asks with a small giggle, her arms wrapping around my waist as she rests her head on my chest, my arms wrapping around her automatically.

"They will not call me grandpa Eric. That is just humiliating, I am a powerful Vampire, that name just degrades my authority" I shake my head, Sookie laughing at me as she comes over to me, taking my tie in her hands where she pulls me down for a long kiss.

"Look on the bright side, there is still one more Northman left to make an appearance and call you daddy" Sookie reminds me as she places my hands on her baby bump. Daddy indeed.

"So within the next year we will not just have another child, one that we will always love dearly, but we will also have a grandchild. Two babies to deal with. It is just like having the twins all over again" I chuckle, Sookie giggling as she kisses me again.

"Speaking of Jr, he is causing some feelings to arise in me. Care to help me deal with them?"

"But of course, Lover" I grin, picking her up; listening for the twins but they are sound asleep. They fell asleep fast, but that only works to our advantage. With that I carry Sookie into our bedroom where we have a night to remember of our own.

AN: I hope that wedding was okay for you all and the next chapter will be the battle hopefully. Also, I was just wondering if you could all suggest baby names as well as what gender you would like the baby to be. I know I have asked before, but I am still deciding, so all thoughts are appreciated xx

Here is where I got the vows from, Ammy's was from the non-traditional sectoin and Alecs was from the romantic section on this website:
