Ellie, Mike and Finn stopped by Allie's the next day. Ellie wanted to tell Allie everything and give her the adoption papers that Mike had signed. They knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer.

"Hey, guys." John said when he answered.

"Hey. Where's Allie?" Ellie asked.

"In the bedroom." Ellie nodded and headed that way with Finn. She walked in the room and saw Allie sitting up in bed. "Hey, slacker."

"Hey." Allie laughed. "Did you get the papers signed?"

"Yep." She smiled and got them out. "Signed and delivered."

Allie smiled. "That's a pretty ring. So is it official? You guys are getting married?" Ellie nodded. "That's great. Because John and I are too. When I'm all healed."

Ellie smiled and hugged her. "That's great. We're both getting our happy ending."

"Yes." Allie laughed before sighing.

"What?" Ellie asked. "I know you Allie, so don't say nothing."

"Randy told the cops he wants to see me. And I told John I needed to see him to get closure. I have to Ellie."

"I understand that. I can't believe he worked with Drew and that he was there when Phil died."

"I know I'm shocked too." Allie replied. "This was someone I thought I knew and he helped kill someone and then helped kidnapped me and Finn and almost got me killed. I have to talk to him and get closure. I want to be able to move on with John without the baggage."

"I can understand that. I wanted to ask you about something. When would the adoption be final?"

"I sent it to Chris on my laptop and he can have the paperwork filed by lunch so six months from today. Why?"

"Then six months from today is when we're getting married. It was actually Mike's idea. He said we could celebrate that day as the day we became a family."

Allie smiled. "I think that's a great idea. It's the perfect way to celebrate."

"I thought so too." She smiled. "I really have fallen for him, Allie. I never thought I would have the chance again after Phil. But I have it now. I'm free and I can have the life Phil and I dreamed of. But with Mike. I'm not trying to replace Phil, you know. I love Mike and I want him."

"I know that." Allie smiled. "I'm so happy for you. You and Mike are perfect together."

"He's an amazing man. I really do love him."

"That's great. I'm so happy you finally get what you deserve."

"And so do you." Ellie smiled and hugged her. "I know John will give you the family you want."

"I hope so too." Allie smiled.

"So, Ellie wants you to adopt Finn." John said as he and Mike sat in the living room.

Mike nodded. "In six months he'll be my son. And she'll be my wife." He said smiling

"That's great." John smiled.

"So, what about you and Allie?"

"I asked her to marry me and she said yes. So now we just have to decide on the date." He smiled.

"But?"

He sighed. "Randy wants to see Allie and talk to her. And she is going to go see him."

"Closure. That's what this is. She needs to see him and to know why he did what he did. You shouldn't worry. She loves you. And you're going to have an amazing life together."

"I hope so."

"You will. John, Allie and Randy were married at one time. He helped Drew. She needs to know why and how he could do that. I can see how she looks at you. She loves you."

John nodded. "I know she does. I guess I'm a little insecure."

"Why? You're freaking hot!" They hears from the steps. They turned to see Ellie standing there.

"Just what I wanted to hear my fiancé say. That my brother is hot." Mike said smiling. Ellie rolled her eyes and walked over to him kissing him.

"You're sex on legs. You have no need to worry."

"And after I just threw up in my mouth, I was about to go get dinner. Anything you guys want?"

"You know if you have the ingredients, I can fry some chicken."

"I think Allie has everything." He said walking into the kitchen. He looked in the fridge and cabinet. "Yeah she has everything."

"Good. Then why don't you go spend time with her and I will cook. And Mike can help me." She smiled at him.

"Having a chef in the family is going to make us all fat."

"Probably." She laughed as he headed to the bedroom where Allie was.

Mike turned to Ellie. "So, you and Allie talk?"

"Yep. She send the papers to her law partner who will file them and we can plan our wedding for six months from today."

Mike smiled. "Good." He said before kissing her.

John walked in the bedroom and saw Allie on the laptop. "Looking at something good?"

"I am." She smiled. "I'm shopping engagement rings and wedding rings."

"You want some help?"

"Sure." She smiled as he walked in and sat down by her.

"What type of ring did you want?"

"I want something simple not overdone. But beautiful. I like princess cut or cushion cut." She said as they looked through rings. "What about you?"

"I have no idea about different cuts of rings. As long as you're happy with the one you choose, I'm happy too." She smiled. "I love you and I just want you to be happy."

"I am happy as long as I have you." She said before kissing him. "And I found the perfect ring." She pulled away and turned the laptop to face him. "This is perfect. It's one point five carats in a princess cut on a white gold band. It's part of a matching set."

"Well if it's the one you like, then it's yours."

She smiled. "So, we have wedding plans to make."

"Well we know Ellie and Mike are getting married six months from now."

"So, we should get married before them. I don't really want a big wedding since Ellie and I don't really have any family other than each other. So how about we just do a simple ceremony at city hall?" She looked at him. "Unless you want a big wedding. John, I want you to have the wedding you want. I already had the big wedding. And this is our wedding. And I want you to have a say in what you want."

"I want a life with you as my wife and a couple of babies that look just like you. I don't care how big the party is to get to that point."

She smiled and kissed him. "So, small civil ceremony?"

"Yes. And let's do it soon. Say in the next few days? We can go apply for the license and then get married right then. There is no waiting period. So, set the date."

"One week. Let's get married one week from today."

"Alright. One week from today." She smiled and kissed him. She couldn't' wait for them to be married. And a small, civil ceremony was exactly what she wanted. She just wanted to be married to John And she didn't' want to waste anymore time.
