It was one day to the wedding, and they spent the whole day in the hotel solving the last details. Olive was back home with Eliza so Red offered to pay for a room so they could stay there for the night.

He came back from the front desk with two keys.

"Here. You can go get some rest now" he said, nonchalantly. Liz giggled.

"Why two keys, Red? Isn't one yours?"

"Oh no, my dear. I already have mine, I've been staying here for the last week. These two rooms are for you and Donald"

"You know we live together, right? We have a daughter." She raised her eyebrows and tried to give him back one key, but he refused it.

"Lizzy, you're getting married tomorrow. I don't care about your current status, I feel we should respect the sanctity of the marriage, so you and Donald are spending the night apart. See this as a test, see how much you miss each other because after tomorrow, there is no turning back."

She turned around as Ressler approached and held her by the waist.

"what did I miss?" She handed him one card key.

"Red wants us to sleep apart tonight."

"What?" He frowned, and then laughed, "this is a joke, right?"

"No. I mean it. And to ensure it I'll escort you to your room, Lizzy, and Dembe here will accompany your groom. And keep guard at the door"

They both looked at Red stunned and shocked. He did take Liz to her room, and it was a big room with a big kingsized bed that she immediately found a waste since she was using it alone. She got ready for bed and then Red left her with a chaste and fatherly kiss on her cheek.

"I'll come and get you in the morning for your day, Lizzy. You'll have a spa day before getting dressed, with massage and skin treatment and everything. See you tomorrow"

She rolled her eyes to Red's ostentations, and smirked as he closed the door. Alone in that room, she realized how much she already missed Donald. She sighed and then crawled under the sheets, hugging one of the pillows and thinking about her man.

She was sound asleep when she heard a weird noise coming from the window. It woke her up and her FBI instincts acted, when she remembered she was on the 10th floor, so it was impossible to be someone trying to enter. She tried to come back to sleep when a knocking sound came from the window.

She rolled on the bed confused, and looked at window to see the shape of a person. She screamed and nearly fell off the bed when he whispered.

"Shh, Liz, it's me!"

"Don? But..." She got out of bed and rushed to open the window, which was more like a glass door to a balcony. There he was.

Questions of how he got there disappeared momentarily as he took her on a passionate kiss, taking her breath away. She jumped and tangled her legs around him as he hoisted her up and took her to bed, laying her over the sheets, never breaking the kiss.

She started laughing on his mouth and then had an uncontrollable laugh attack. He laid beside her, holding her by the hip as she turned to her side and tangled her legs on his.

"What?" He was laughing too. She couldn't stop laughing.

"Did...you...climbed out the window?" He nodded and she covered her mouth with her hands, laughing even more.

"Dembe was like a statue at my door, I tried to get out twice and he wouldn't let me! I had no alternative!"

"Donald! Are you crazy? You could've died!" She slapped him on the chest and he rolled them so he would be on top of her.

"I would die if I had to spend the night without you" she stopped laughing and pouted at him.

"Aww, babe! I missed you too" he went down and kissed her, and there was no more laughing. She pulled his shirt out of him as he explored under her baby doll and it only took seconds for them to be completely undressed. He was kissing all over her body and she panted and moaned in reaction to his touch.

"We are... So... Going to hell..." She whispered when he went back up and was kissing her neck. He laughed and then kissed her on the mouth as they made love.

Hours later, as they laid naked in bed, sated and happy, looking at the ceiling, her head resting on his chest as he brushed his fingers on her hair, while the other hand played with her fingers.

"Red just have to understand he can't stop us!" He chanted, victorious, and she giggled and rolled to lay on her stomach, looking up at him.

"I mean I get it, what just happened was honeymoon material, Donald. He wanted to be traditional."

"Are you sorry?" she smiled a mischievous smiled.

"Of course not." And bit his arm, making him squirm.

She yawned, clearly tired, and he placed a hand on her cheek, using his thumb to stroke her. "You're tired, babe? I'd better go back to my room."

"No! You're not climbing out there again!"

"Liz, if Red comes in the morning and finds me here we're in trouble!"

"I don't care! You're not doing that again, you crazy! Besides, I sleep better with you here"

"Awwn" he took her in as she laid her head on his shoulder, cuddling in the crook of his neck.

"Besides, Red wants me to go to a whole spa thing to relax for the wedding, but little does he know that all I need to relax is you in the morning." He laughed out loud.

"So you're just keeping me here so you'll have morning sex?" He was now stroking his fingers on her head, making her relax, and she was on the verge of sleeping.

"U-hum" she hummed, and then fell asleep immediately. He moved to adjust to a comfortable position with her on his arm, and then fell asleep himself.

Early morning she woke him up with kisses.

"Happy wedding day, groom" she smiled and then placed a chaste kiss on his lips.

He stretched and held her hip as she straddled him and bent down to kiss his face again.

"Happy wedding day, bride" he laughed as she placed small kisses all over his face, and moved his hand up and down her sides when her mouth found his, and they kissed intensively.

Things were heating up when they heard the noise of a key card opening the door, and both rolled out of the bed, falling on the floor with a thud.

"Ouch!" She complained as they hit the carpet and they hid there as they heard Red coming into the room.

"Lizzy! Rise and shine, it's your day!"

Thank god the bedroom was separated from the rest of the room by a door, so Red didn't see immediately that Donald was there. They took some time untangling the sheets from them as they tried to stand up and she looked desperately for her pajamas that were somewhere on the floor. She let out a scream when they heard Red approaching the bedroom door as she put on her baby doll and Don found his pants and shirt, and she pushed him quickly to the bathroom.

"Hey, hey!" He whispered as she shoved him into the bathroom and was about to close the door.

"What?" She whispered back, and he stole a kiss from her. She laughed and kissed him again.

"Stop!" She pushed him with a palm on his chest, more like feeling him rather than pushing him away. Red was about to open the double doors to the bedroom when he grabbed her wrist and pulled her again for a kiss, and then ran inside the bathroom as she turned around and jumped startled with the sound of the door shutting and the double door being opened at the same second.

"Are you okay, Lizzy?" Red measured the mess of sheets on the floor, the bed extremely messy and a nonchalant Liz trying to fix her messy hair as she moved towards him.

"Yeah, I was... I was in the bathroom and the door slipped shut, that's all"

Reddington squinted, suspicious, but then changed the subject.

C'mon, I've brought you breakfast. Red fruits and yoghurt, you don't want to exaggerate on the food today."

"Sure! Sounds nice" she glanced at the bathroom door once more before leaving the bedroom and going towards the counter on the little kitchen by the door of the room.

She ate listening attentively to any noise that might come from the bathroom as Red went on and on telling stories of weddings of people he knew.

"you never told me about your wedding, Red," she commented, not sure where that came from. He looked down, a bit upset.

"Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to." She apologized, but he stroke a hand on her shoulder, signaling that it was okay.

"It was a much simpler wedding. I wanted to have a big wedding like this one, but Carla, she denied it. She begged for a simple wedding, so I had to comply. My plan was to give my daughter a wedding like this, so thank you for allowing me to give it to you" she smiled at Red, and he sighed. She moved out of the stool and placed a kiss on his cheek. He wiped the tears from under his spectacles and then changed the subject.

"well, are you ready? Your day is about to start with a full body massage. Let's go?"

"Hum...erm... Lemme just, hum... I need to use the bathroom." She moved quickly into the bedroom, leaving him confused by the living room. She entered the bathroom and saw Don sitting on the toilet wearing just his pants. The danger of the situation and the sight of his bare chest turned her on, and she loved it. He stood up and moved straight to her as she closed the door, pinning her on it and capturing her lips on his. She pulled him close and moved her hands on his back as he took her head between his hands, sinking his fingers on her hair.

She grunted as he pulled apart, taking a deep breath to recover as he fixed her hair behind her ear, their eyes fixed on each other's.

"I...have to go." She whispered, and in reply he kissed her with open eyes, observing as she melted. "Don..." She cried, trying to push him away, but only pulling him close instead.

"We'll never make it to the aisle" she laughed, and he put his forehead against hers, laughing too.

"Red's waiting. Give it five minutes after we leave and then you can go, he'll never know."

"Will I see you again later?" He asked, his piercing eyes on hers making her heart swell.

"Well, sure. I'll be the one in white" the both grinned, and then he kissed her, a sweet and slow kiss.

"I love you, Liz." He whispered as they broke apart, and she leaned again to give him a quick kiss before opening the door.

"I love you too" she smiled, and then turned to get out of the bathroom, grinning like an infatuated teenager as she reached for her robe and went away to meet Red.

The rest of the day went by marvelously well, the spa day Red gave her was amazing, but she spent the day checking on her phone for messages from Don and Eliza with updates on Olive. The time came for her to get her hair and make up done and then step into her dress, and when she finally saw herself ready as a bride, she gasped and teared up.

Eliza was there with Olive, her baby daughter wearing a lovely pink dress with a matching hat, and her friends from college wearing a lavender dress Red had chosen for the bridesmaids.

"Oh, Liz! Look at you!" Her friend Susan exclaimed, standing up next to her to help her adjust the veil around her shoulders. "I mean, I know you got married before, but this doesn't compare"

"I know why, Suz" she glanced at herself on the mirror and smirked "this time I'm marrying the love of my life. This glow is how happy I am!" Her friends giggled and she turned around to pick Olive up.

"Hey, baby! How about we go meet dad, hun?" Olive giggled at the mention of her father, and all the women around her melted with the baby cuteness. She kissed Olive and then gave her back to Eliza.

"I'll go find a place for us on the ballroom, honey. See you later!" The woman squeezed her hand and then went outside, followed by the bridesmaids.

She was alone looking at herself on the mirror when Red came in, neatly dressed in a tuxedo, with his signature fedora hat. He gasped at her sight. She turned around and swirled her skirt as he approached.

"Lizzy, lizzy! you are... Perfect!" She giggled as he reached for her hands and took her into his arms as they waltzed. She rested her head on his shoulder and they swayed with no music, just feeling the moment like father and daughter.

"Are you happy, Lizzy?" He asked, and she smiled.

"Yes, very."

"That's all I need. Let's go, Donald is waiting for you."

And he offered her his arm, she took it and they marched out of the room.

The room was all fuzz with everybody in there talking. Donald was nervously trying to fix his tie as his mother fixed his hair, and he fought her to stop it.

"Oh Donnie, donnie, I'm so proud of you and Liz!"

"Okay, mom, go sit, will ya?" He kissed her cheek as she frowned at him, shocked after he dismissed her so harshly. She raised her eyebrows at him and sat down on the front row as the wedding march announced the bride was coming.

He wasn't still satisfied with his tie, twirling and fumbling with it as the doors opened, but then nothing else mattered. Liz was a vision. She was smiling and everybody looked at her in awe, no more than Donald, who felt his heart sink at the sight of the woman of his dreams walking in towards him.

Red held her firmly but it was clear he was trying not to cry as they walked down the aisle, and slowly Don's breathing adjusted to receive his bride in control of his emotions. As they reached the end of the corridor, Red gave her a kiss on the hand before giving it to Don, and he took her arm on his to finish the way towards the judge.

He was still uncomfortable with his tie, so she just unclasped it and tossed it aside, opening the first button on his shirt. They both laughed as the judge cleared her throat to start the ceremony.

Whatever the judge was saying, it was more like background noise as they looked at each other, focused only on themselves until she called their attention for the vows and the exchange of rings.

They said "I do" and then the woman declared them husband and wife, and they kissed while everybody in the room clapped and cheered.
