2 Days Later:
Maggie was helping Grace zip up her dress. Maggie found it in the church basement. She and Grace had fun trying it on. "Still can't believe it fits." Grace smiled looking in the mirror.
"Abe hasn't seen it has he?" Maggie asked putting the veil in Grace's fixed hair.
"Not at all." Grace smiled slightly. "Nobody but you has seen it."
"Still can't believe it's a freaking Kleinfeld dress." Maggie smiled looking her over in it. "Gosh you look great. I'm jealous."
Grace smiled slightly. "You looked amazing at your's and glenn's. You being in your mama's dress." She pushed Maggie's bangs from her face. "You and Glenn could always renew your vows."
"We might." Maggie smiled slightly. She fixed her dress and stood up. "Ready?"
Grace nodded and walked with her to the church, everyone was inside waiting.
Glenn smiled seeing his sister. "Oh my." He looked her over. "Beautiful." He extended his arm. "Ready?"
Grace smiled and locked arms with him. She had a bouquet of sunflowers, and nodded. "Yes. Very ready."
Maggie had went inside and was at the doors. Abe was turned to face Father, and couldn't turn until 10 seconds after the kids came down, he could watch that, but couldn't watch Grace until he was told to by father.
Grace smiled as she went up the steps, Glenn knocked, and Maggie opened the doors. Everyone was standing. She walked in, and everyone gasped as she walked in. She was trying to not run - nor - cry as she walked with Glenn.
She had made it 5 steps in before Father tapped Abe on the shoulder and told him to turn around. She smiled big, she hadn't seen him in his dress blues he kept from the army. It never really clicked with her, on how many medals and other things he earned during his career. She looked at his face and smiled brightly.
Abe turned around and looked at her, he could have sworn an angel came through the door. He kept his composure, and refused to full on cry, but he managed to slip one tear, as he smiled back at her. He stood tall and smiled more.
Grace smiled and continued walking, and saw Carson was wearing his pajamas' She knew that would just happen already. She wasn't going to fight him, Pj's where just comfortable. Rick was holding him.
Father smiled at Grace and Glenn. "Whom is giving her away?"
"I am." Glenn said and kissed her cheek. "Kick ass sis." He handed her to Abe and walked back to Maggie in the front row.
Abe smiled taking her hands and helped her up the steps. "You look gorgeous, stunning."
Grace smiled and held his hands, "You look handsome in your dress blues." She had given her flowers to Enid.
Father smiled and started the ceremony. "Today we join, Abraham Ford and Grace Rhee to join them in marriage…" He continued on with it until they got to the personal vows. "Now Abe would like to share personal vows he had written up." He smiled at Abe.
Abe smiled and looked at her. "To be honest, I never pictured myself getting in a relationship - or married or kids. That's not the order we went in, I mean look at our son he's over their currently attempting to rip off Rick's beard." He chuckled lightly, as did Grace and the others. "That's okay, that things don't go in order or as planned." He glanced down for a second then looked back up at Grace. "To be honest, I'm glad you came stumbling into my campsite that night. I was planning on ending everything.." He sighed. "I honestly felt like a failure, I had scared my ex-wife, Ella and the kids away, because I was protecting them, and they ended up dying, and my first girlfriend Em.. and daughter" He sighed. " I left, because of...well, you know the reasons.." He nodded. "I'm glad as hell to have met you that night when you were on the run from the people of termitus." He smile slightly. "I probably wouldn't be here otherwise. You look like a damn angel caught in that bear trap." He watched her eyes, his sparkled slightly. "Thank you for saving this stupid old man." He pulled out the thread, and tied it around her finger...
" I know when two people really love each other - really - want to get married it has to be a natural - they have to make that decision to love each other everyday. Even when things are hard, They don't give up on it. It's a choice to love each other even if it's by a thread." He smiled, redoing how he proposed. "I… let that thread break once..." He said pulling the thread away from her gently, "This time I won't. I promise." He said sliding the ring down the thread onto her finger, "I love you Grace. Thank you for being there for me and loving me too even when i didn't deserve it. Thank you for our son, and angel daughter." He let the tears fall.
Grace smiled listening to him and nodded, letting her tears fall down her face. Wen he re-created the proposal, she smiled more and watched him. "I love you too, Abe."
Father Gabriel looked at her, "You're turn."
"How can I go after that." Grace laughed looking at the floor for a second then at him after composing herself. "Make all the ladies in here cry Abe." She laughed softly. She could tell they were, and possibly a man or two.
Abe smiled and chuckled slightly, watching her.
Grace breathed and smiled. "Abe, I love you so much. I didn't think I could love anyone, after all the abuse I went through with, with Andrew." She sighed softly.
"I'm thankful you were there that night when I got hurt and ran off from termitus. I couldn't thank you enough for taking me in, and making me feel at home and comforting me - When I thought, everyone in this room was dead.." She smiled more, "We formed a bond quickly, It was like we couldn't go on being separated from each other. We tried going on supply runs alone, and we just couldn't." She looked at him more. "Thank you for being there and bringing me back to my family. I thank God everyday for you, and for all you have done for me." She caught herself for a second. "You are always supportive, of me and a great daddy to our son, and would have been to our angel baby." She breathed and smiled keeping her brown eyes locked in his blue eyes. "You have always been my rock, and I can always count on you. You got me through things I was to scared to do alone.." She looked at his hands. "I mean, hell you got war wounds from my hands, because I was that scared having Carson." She laughed softly. "Thank you for taking those for me."
Abe chuckled slightly. "I'll do it again."
"I know, people where probably not thrilled with out age differences. Age is just a number, and it means nothing.." She smiled more. " I promise, to always be patient with you, and try and talk things out with you, and never stop loving you or doing things without you. I love it that you are so involved as a daddy, and as a husband. I can't wait to see what the future holds and what else is in store for us. I love you Abe." She smiled and slid the ring onto his finger using the thread also. "Our love is eternally twined together like this thread. One thread alone isn't strong enough, if you add more. It gets stronger - Abe you are my thread as well as our kids. We are so strong right now, and are only going to get stronger, in the next 8 months.." She bit her lip wondering if he caught that hint, she said her vows really loud to make sure they heard her.
Abe watched her and smiled as she slid the ring on, then paused for a second to listen to her more, then he let out a laugh, and smiled bigger. "Really?"
Grace nodded, and smiled bigger. "We're having another baby." She laughed and let the tears fall more.
Everyone gasped for a minute
Abe laughed and pulled her into a hug. Grace smiled and hugged him back tightly. She hadn't told anyone, well except Harlan knew. Abe pulled back looking at her. "Seriously? Not pulling my leg?"
Grace laughed and shook her head. "No." She stood up and kissed him. Abe kissed her back.
Father just shrugged and laughed. "Keep on kissing your bride?" He watched them and smiled. "We don't need to finish."
Everyone laughed and cheered. Father hushed them.
Abe pulled back and smiled. "Sorry father." He laughed holding her hands again.
Grace blushed and smiled, "Sorry Father." She looked up at Abe. "Please continue."
"Do you - "
"I do." Abe laughed.
"Me too." Grace smiled.
"In all of the above?"
"Yes!" They said in unison.
"Alright - Alright." Father laughed, "Mr and Mrs Abraham Ford." He pronounced them. "They are also expecting another baby." He smiled.
Abe pulled her in for a kiss, and kissed her hard. Grace kissed him hard and wrapped her arms around them. "I'm so happy." He said softly into her ear.
"Me too." Grace smiled big and kissed him more.
