A/N: This is going to be the last chapter of this story. I don't own any of the characters.
Charles left the wedding details to Liza but she wasn't sure she wanted a big wedding. She had already had one when she married David. Charles said he didn't care but he didn't need to have a big wedding either, since he had done that with Pauline. Charles had been talking about wanting to take the girls to Disney World when they were off for Thanksgiving break and Caitlin was of course off at the same time. At first, Liza wasn't sure she liked the idea but the 3 girls suggested they get married at the resort. Charles loved the idea. They didn't plan on inviting many people. As they were discussing the guest list for their small wedding, there were a few people neither was sure they should invite. One was Pauline and the other was Josh, who was married to Claire. Charles and Liza had invited Josh and Claire to go out to dinner and Josh and Charles had worked out their differences. Charles said if he was still interested in doing the adult coloring book, he was fine with it. Josh accepted the offer and Charles had Kelsey take over. Liza invited them but wasn't sure they'd accept, since they had a new baby. They said they'd come since Claire's mother would be in town helping with the baby, who would be 6 weeks old by the time of the wedding. They invited Pauline and she said she'd come to be with the girls, so they could spend some time alone. They of course invited Maggie, Kelsey, Diana, Lauren, Zane and Jay and Bob, Julia and Rose, which Caitlin was happy about but Bob was Charles' best friend. Liza also invited some of her friends from New Jersey but none of them were able to come. Liza told Lauren that if she wanted to, she could bring her parents. Bob was standing up for Charles and Caitlin for Liza and of course Bianca and Nicole were in it as well. Everyone flew down to Orlando and went to the Grand Floridian where they were all staying. The wedding wasn't until the next day, so everyone pretty much did what they wanted the first night. Mostly everyone spent time at the pool. Liza was sitting on the edge of the pool watching Charles have fun with the girls. Josh had been swimming and saw Liza, so he swam over to her and got on side of the pool next to her.
"Hey."
"Hey. Where's Claire?"
"She went to call her mom to check on Savannah."
"How's fatherhood?"
"It's great but I get even less sleep than I did before. Thanks for inviting us."
"You're welcome. I'm just glad things aren't awkward between you and Charles anymore."
"Me too. That time I hit him felt great because I was still upset about you kissing him but I also know it was wrong to do what I did. I really am happy for you."
"Thanks. I'm happy for you and Claire. You really deserved to be with someone who could give you children. Like I told you, I'll be their Aunt Liza."
"At first I wasn't sure I was doing the right thing because it was basically a green card marriage but I do love her and I love being a dad more than I ever thought possible."
"Is that a Savannah tattoo?"
"It is."
"Nice."
"Thanks."
"Is Claire going back to work?"
"She'll be back to work at the bar soon but she is trying to work close as much as she can, so it doesn't run into too much conflict with me. If I have to, I can keep Savannah with me at work. Her mom is staying for a couple weeks."
"Good."
Charles swam over to them and sat on the other side of Liza. Then he kissed her.
"Hello."
"Hey."
"Thanks for coming, Josh."
"No problem. Thanks for the invitation."
"No problem."
Then Claire came back.
"Hey, Babe."
"Hey."
"Everything ok at home?"
"Yeah. Everything is great. She went right to sleep."
"She loves Grandma."
"True. How are you, Liza?"
"I'm great. How are you?"
"Great."
"The girls want us to take them to Disney World but I told them that it wouldn't be until the day after tomorrow."
"That works for me. When does Pauline get in?"
"Not until tomorrow at 10 but I think she is leaving the following evening. A part of me hopes she changes her mind about coming."
"She's been busy doing the book tour thing this year, right?"
"Yeah. She loves the attention. The only reason she liked being married to me was because of the lifestyle that came with it."
"I don't like that."
"I'm fine with that. I don't expect you to stay home except I wish you'd come back to Empirical."
"I'm always hearing that from Diana about how she can't find a competent assistant to bring her a decent cup of coffee. We agreed that if we were going to be together, we weren't going to work together."
"I'm not sure I like the idea of my wife working for the competition."
Jay came over to them.
"Liza. Upchuck."
"It's nice to see you too, Jay."
"I like the fact that I will have the wife of the Empirical Boss working for me."
"I don't."
Liza got up and went to join Maggie, Kelsey, Diana, Zane and Lauren.
"What are Charles and Jay bickering about?"
"Guess."
"I'll guess you."
"That would be a good guess."
"Are you coming back to Empirical?"
"Charles wants me to because he doesn't like the idea of me working for the competition."
"I want you to come back."
"Me too but something tells me it wouldn't be as my assistant."
"Do you want to come back?"
"I miss working with you guys but can Charles and I work together?"
"Zane and I are back on and we get along at work. We're trying to keep things separate."
"Kelsey is right about that. We're still competitive with each other though."
"That's for sure."
"It's a little different for the two of you. I'm about to marry the Boss. Our agreement was, if we were going to be together, we weren't going to work together. I don't want to be treated any differently by him and I don't want business to come between us."
"I see your point. How'd things go with Josh?"
"Great. He seems really happy."
"Are you and Charles going to try to have a baby?"
"A few months ago, I thought I was pregnant. I went to my doctor and I was told that I definitely was not pregnant. I was advised to not even try. It is what it is. It doesn't bother Charles either way. He knows I love the girls and I know he loves Caitlin. He's done more for her in the time we have been together than David has done for her in her entire life."
Charles joined them but sat behind Liza, wrapped his arms around her and they laced their fingers together.
"Who won?"
"We're going to have a meeting about it when we get back."
"I'm not going to want to even think about going back."
"Me neither."
"I'm getting tired."
"Me too."
Charles got up and then he helped Liza up.
"Caitlin, we're going to head up to bed."
"Ok. I'll bring them up later."
"Ok. Just not too late."
"I know."
"Behave yourselves, you two."
"We will. Night, Daddy. Night, Liza."
"Night."
Bianca and Nicole got out of the pool and went to give both Charles and Liza a hug and a kiss goodnight.
"Goodnight, everyone."
"Goodnight."
Charles took Liza's hand and then they headed up to their suite. They got ready for bed and made love before they fell asleep. A little while later, everyone else went up to bed as well.
The next morning after breakfast, the ladies went to get their hair and nails done at the Salon. While they were there, Pauline's flight arrived and she went to the resort. She got checked in and went to the Salon.
"Mommy!"
"Hey, girls. How are you, Liza?"
"Starting to get a little nervous. I don't know how he's so calm."
"That's just how he is. He was like that when we got married too. I really am happy for the two of you."
"Thanks, Pauline. That means a lot. I read the book. It was great."
"Thanks. I hope Charles wasn't too embarrassed about it."
"He never read it. He just couldn't do it. At least right now."
"I hope he does eventually."
Once they were finished at the Salon, they went to get ready. Pauline took the girls to her room and they got ready there. Once everyone was ready, they went downstairs.
"Mom, you look beautiful."
"Thanks, Sweetie."
"I am so happy for you and I think Charles is such a great guy."
"Yeah, he is."
Caitlin hugged Liza and then they got ready to start. The girls headed down the aisle and then Caitlin headed down. Liza started down the aisle and a part of her couldn't believe she was doing this again. She also hoped nothing would go wrong. She got to Charles and then she handed Caitlin her flowers before she took Charles' hands in hers. They both started to become emotional as they exchanged vows and rings. Once they were pronounced husband and wife, they kissed and everyone applauded. Mr. and Mrs. Brooks headed back up the aisle followed by Caitlin and Bob and the girls. The 3 girls hugged them and then Bob congratulated them before everyone else came to congratulate them. They had pictures taken both inside and outside with the Castle in the background. During their first dance, they held each other, gazed into each other's eyes and kissed. Charles danced with the 3 girls as Liza danced with Jay and even Josh. Charles danced with Pauline too. Everyone ate and then they cut the cake. After more dancing, Charles and Liza decided to call it a night. Pauline was keeping Bianca and Nicole for the night and Caitlin was staying with Rose and her parents. Liza and Charles went to their suite and spend most of the rest of the night making love and holding each other.
The next day, everyone who was going went to Disney World. Caitlin and Rose ended up having a great time and even enjoyed going on rides with Bianca and Nicole, so Charles and Liza could go on things together. Kelsey, Zane, Lauren, Maggie and Diana all went and really enjoyed themselves. Diana found herself spending time at the wedding and at Disney with Jay. Josh and Claire spent part of the morning at Disney World and then they went to Universal for a while before they headed back to New York. They didn't want to leave Savannah any longer than they needed to. Pauline left that night as well. Everyone else stayed until Sunday. Upon their return to New York, they spent time with Caitlin before Bob and Julia took her and Rose back to school.
Liza had done some thinking about whether or not she wanted to go back to work at Empirical. She liked working for Jay but she also understood that Charles didn't want her working for the competition now that they were married. She wasn't sure what she had planned to do. She was happier than she had been in a long time and she wanted to stay that way for as long as she possibly could. She knew Charles would treat her differently than David ever did and she had more in common with him than she did with either David or Josh. Charles loved her for who she was and not for how old she was. She had definitely gotten her happily ever after.
