A/N Been busy.. sorry.. I'll probably won't be able to finish things before season 5 starts. It's difficult to write a wedding if you've never been to one…
Previously:
"How are you planning on convincing him, guilting him into it?"
"That's a start." Zoë smiled at her friends before walking with the clerk to put in the down payment.
…
Greg was sitting on the couch as Zoë walked in.
"Had fun?" He looked over the back of the couch.
"Yeah, " She took off her jacket and shoes before sitting on his lap on the couch.
"Found a different dress?" He smiled as she kissed the nape of his neck.
"No." He sighed. "Something wrong?" She softly bit his neck.
"Are you bribing me with sex?"
"Can't I just want to sleep with my fiancé?." She smiled innocently at him. He shook his head.
"It's not going to work." Zoë sighed.
"I'm not trying to bribe you with sex."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
"Liar."
"Are you going to turn me down?"
"Are you kidding me?" He shifted her so she was straddling him before kissing her.
…
"You're still not getting that dress." He said, still a little breathlessly.
"I wasn't trying to bribe you." She smiled up at him as they were getting started on dinner.
"Sure you weren't."
…
Greg walked into the locker-room at lunchtime to find a box with his name sitting on the bench.
'Greg, Hope your day is going good. Love you.'
He opened the box, finding what he guessed where 20 donuts and another note.
'If you assemble them right they spell a 5 word sentence.'
Greg smiled at took the box to the briefing room, the guys where all eating lunch.
"Whoever helps me make a 5 word sentence out of these donuts can have two." They all jumped up and walked towards the box. Seeing the following letters:
'rtysehaIwdrnlel!ates'
"Exclamation mark goes last." Ed offered.
"The 'I' probably goes first?" Spike asked.
"Leaves us with the other 18.." Greg said.
The rest of the donuts each had a letter on them. Spike studied them.
"It's Zoë's, right?" Ed asked him. Greg nodded. "Can't you text her for a hint?"
"Maybe it's got something to do with your wedding?" Wordy asked.
"Her wedding gown." Greg said before looking at the letters, but they didn't contain a G.
"Dress." Spike said, a little excited. "I … dress!"
"What about her dress?" Wordy asked Greg.
"It's a hundred grand.' Ed offered.
"She really wants it." Greg smiled.
"I really want the dress!" Jules assembled the donuts. "That's her message." Greg sighed.
"Why don't you just let her have the dress?" Wordy asked.
"It's a hundred grand.. Her dress'll cost more than the entire wedding." Greg defended.
"She'll keep bugging you about it until you agree." Spike said.
"Probably."
"And it's not like you can't afford it." Jules said.
"True."
"You can buy such nice cars for that kind of money.." Ed said.
"Give her the dress Greg." Jules said. "You'll make her so happy. It's really beautiful."
"You've seen it?" Spike asked.
"Maid of honor standing here. Hell yeah I've seen it."
They heard knocking and all turned around to see Zoë.
"Hey guys." She smiled at the arranged donuts. "See you've figured it out. Did it take all of you?" They nodded. "Anyway, Spike. I need to talk to you, want to grab lunch at O'Malleys?"
"Sure, not sure if my pain in the ass boss and team leader will let me though." He looked at Greg and Ed.
"About what we talked about this morning?" Greg asked her. She nodded. "Sure go, eat lunch. We'll leave you a donut." Spike smiled and followed Zoë out.
…
"So, this serious?" Spike asked as he took a bite from his burger.
"A little." Zoë smiled at him, eating her fries. "I need to ask you something about my wedding." He nodded for her to continue. "My dad obviously can't give me away." He stopped chewing and swallowed his bite, was she going to ask him to? "And I was wondering if you could?"
"Yes, of course!" Zoë smiled. "It's an honour, Zoë. Can I see your dress?" He asked excitedly.
"You can't tell anyone about it. I swear I will kill you.."
"I won't" He held up his hand. "Scout's honour." Zoë nodded.
"Were you even a scout?" She unlocked her phone and showed him a picture.
"You'll never know.. Nice dress." They finished their lunch before going back to SRU. Zoë had her physical with Donna at two.
…
She was looking at herself in the mirror. She never got why people were nervous about getting married, she always thought she would be excited instead of nervous. But sitting there, her hair and make-up done she got it. Jules had forgotten to pick up her dress, they were trying to track down the owner to get the dress. Everyone was already sitting in the church. How hard could it be to track someone down? They were cops..
She was relieved when the door opened and Jules and Donna walked in with her dress. Molly walked outside when she saw them to tell Greg they found the dress.
Zoë got up and they helped her put on the dress, they touched up her make-up and hair before putting on her veil. She took a deep breath.
"Are you nervous?" Jules asked her.
"It's starting to turn into excited." She took a sip of water. "Is Greg already waiting?"
"Has been for half an hour." Donna smiled at her.
"Spike?"
"Ready when you are." Jules reassured her.
Molly walked back in.
"Everything's ready." Zoë nodded.
"Can you get Spike?" Molly nodded before opening to go get Spike.
…
"You ready, Greg?" Ed asked him, standing next to him at the front of the church.
"I'm ready, I'm just glad they were able to get the dress."
"So, where was your honeymoon going again?" Ed asked, distracting him from the long wait.
"We're going to spend a night at the plaza's bridal suite before jumping on an airplane to the Bahamas tomorrow." Ed nodded.
…
Spike knocked before walking in.
"Hey, you wanted to talk to me?"
"Yeah, how do I look?" Spike smiled at her.
"Beautiful. I'm sure Greg will be speechless." Zoë smiled back. "You sure you're ready to get married?"
"Yeah."
"Because as your giveaway person. You can always blow it off, I'll tell them." Zoë hugged him gently.
"I'm good, but thanks." She took another deep breath. "Let's go."
…
Donna, Jules and Molly were waiting outside. The double doors were still closed, she stood behind them. Knowing Greg was waiting for her on the other side, she smiled at the thought.
"Are you ready?" Zoë nodded. They looked at the time and noticed they only had a few minutes to go before the music would started playing, letting them know it's time to go.
"Looking forward to the rest of your life?" Donna asked her.
"Yes, definitely. Looking forward to my honeymoon, just being married.."
"Kids?" Jules smiled at her, she knew she wanted kids pretty bad.
"Kids." Zoë smiled back. "Definitely."
The music started playing, Zoë watched as her bridesmaids and maid of honour walked down the aisle first. She smiled at Spike before taking his arm and walking down the aisle.
Greg looked up to meet her eyes. They smiled at each other, Zoë was oblivious to all her friends sitting there. Greg in his turn looked her up and down. Watching the dress intently.
She thanked Spike at the end before standing next to Greg.
"Nice dress." He smiled at her.
"It's worth a car."
"It sure is." They took hands and turned towards the reverend.
…
"You have prepared your own vows?" Zoë and Greg nodded. He nodded for Zoë to start. Zoë looked at Greg.
"I had some trouble with these. So just.. yeah.." She cleared her throat. "I, Zoë Washburne take you Gregory Parker to be my lawfully wedded husband. I promise to be by your side and care for you. To stick by you through bullet rains and hockey games." She smiled at him, she still didn't completely get it. "I promise to support your choices, both personal and in work. But most of all I promise to love you until death do us part by natural causes." She smiled at him.
"I hope I get them right." He swallowed once. "I, Gregory Parker, take you Zoë Washburne to be my lawfully wedded wife. I promise to care for you and love you. I will be by your side from this day forward, I promise I will never take you for granted. Not only will I always keep my bullet proof vest on, I will also visit you in the hospital." Zoë smiled, sure that would be happening more than once. "But most of all, I promise to be your friend who you can always count on."
They exchanged rings.
"You may now kiss the bride." Greg stepped towards her and gave her a short, sweet kiss before turning towards their friends and walking up the aisle together.
…
Zoë and Greg were enjoying the few seconds of peace and quiet they had while slow dancing. They hadn't had much of that so far, so decided to dance figuring no one would interrupt them.
"So, Dean seems to be having a good time."
"Yeah, I'm glad Ed was able to convince Clark to come. I love your dress, by the way."
"You do?" She looked up at him.
"I do." She smiled before putting her head back on his shoulder. "How do you think everything's going so far?"
"Good, it's going good."
They had dinner and were waiting for the cake, after that they would say goodbye to everyone before going to the plaza.
Spike was sitting next to Zoë at the table, while Ed sat next to Greg.
"Like the cake?" Zoë asked Spike, he had cleared his plate within minutes.
"I do, it's really great!" Zoë smiled at him.
"Want some more?" She offered him her piece, she had only taken a few bites.
"No, you eat it."
"I'm stuffed. Between the snacks, entrée, main course and everything in between.." Spike smiled at her and gladly accepted the cake.
"You know, you're supposed to offer me your cake." Greg whispered in her ear. Zoë turned her head and smiled back.
"What about we start saying goodbye now everyone is still seated and I'll give you something entirely different." Greg smiled at her.
"Sounds like a plan." He got up before extending his hand to her. They said goodbye to everyone before making sneaking away.
…
"So, that was our first try at making a baby." Greg smiled at her.
"You sure you're ready? I don't mind stopping by the pharmacy to get birth control."
"Getting cold feet?" He gently pushed a strand of hair from her face.
"No, getting pregnant on our honeymoon would be perfect."
"It usually doesn't happen with the snap of your fingers, you know."
"I know, I don't care if it takes us one or one hundred nights."
A/N feel like the vows could've been so much better.. but it's just so damn hard!
Want me to write the honeymoon, or can I skip passed that? Most votes count.
