Epilogue

Two Years Later

Tegan adjusted the bow-tie around her neck before giving herself one last look over in the mirror. The tux fit her perfectly. And the burgundy vest looked perfect as well. One of the perks of being in her position was getting to choose at least a little bit of what was being worn. The burgundy vest was definitely exactly what she wanted. It made her remember those early days with Sara. Back when they were struggling just to live normal lives. Back when they found each other and Tegan wore her burgundy button up on their date.

A smile spread over her face as she remembered how nervous she had been. How romantic she was trying to be. But she was glad that times were different now. Two moderately successful albums, a claim to Indie fame, and now, love was definitely in the air.

"Are you ready Tegan?" Johnny asked from the door of the dressing room.

"Yeah," Tegan smiled up at her bandmate, "I'm so ready."

"Has anyone seen Ted?" Shaun asked as he walked by, "It starts in twenty minutes!"

"Relax," Tegan did her best to calm him, "I think I know where he is. I'll go get him."

"Are you sure?" Johnny questioned, "You've had a really busy week, just send one of us."

"I'm sure," Tegan smiled at his concern, "Besides, he'll need me to talk to."

"Alright, whatever you say." Johnny smiled before she walked away.

Tegan wandered down the church corridor and into the men's bathroom.

"Ted?" She spoke from the door, not wanting to walk in on anything if someone else was in there.

"Tegan?" Ted sounded nervous.

"You okay Ted?" Tegan took a few steps in. Ted was leaning, both hand on the counter, staring into the mirror.

"I'm okay, just so nervous." He looked over in the mirror so as to make eye contact with Tegan, "God I'm nervous."

"Yeah, I bet you are," Tegan walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder, "But you'll be okay buddy. At least you don't have to give a speech."

"Good point." Ted cracked a nervous smile.

"Not for a few months anyway." Ted groaned and Tegan let out a soft chuckle, "Now come on, you don't want to keep Sonia waiting."

Ted looked up and smiled, happiness pouring out of the look in his eyes.

They walked out of the bathroom and toward the chapel, both nervously waiting for their cues to go inside from the wedding planner, Emy.

"Alright Ted," Emy grinned at him, "Go on through those doors."

"Okay." Ted took a nervous step forward before looking back at Tegan.

"You'll be fine Teddy," Tegan smiled at him, "Go on, it's your day man!"

He smiled wide before confidently walking through the door.

"What a lovely ceremony," Lindsey was beaming from next to her girlfriend, "It looked beautiful, the people were great, and it was just so well done."

"How much champagne have you had?" Sara asked with a wink.

"Only three glasses!" Lindsey protested, "That's barely any."

"Linds," Emy shook her head, "Maybe this should be your last one so that you don't go home crying over how beautiful this all was."

"Well excuse me for bragging on your ability to plan a wedding!" Lindsey took mock offense and stuck her tongue out.

"I did do a pretty good job on it." Emy spoke with a wide grin on her face.

"Definitely!" Tegan took a drink of her champagne, "Way better than I did on my best man speech."

"Best woman." Sara corrected, receiving an eye roll from Tegan.

"Best woman speech then."

"Nah," Emy shook her head, "Your speech was great."

"No it wasn't!" Tegan protested, "I said 'You've always been like a brother to me' to my future father-in-law!"

"Oh god," Sara scrunched up her nose, "He's my step-father now…"

"Oh come one!" Emy patted her shoulder, "You couldn't ask for a better step-father. He's rich."

"I'll drink to that." Sara raised her glass and they all joined her in the toast to Ted's wealth.

Tegan blocked out the rest of the conversation. She was too busy focusing on her future wife. The perfectly fitting black strapless dress that she wore as the maid of honor making her look as sexy as ever. Tegan smiled as she thought back to the night of their engagement.

Three Months Earlier:

"Sara," Tegan walked around the dark house, "I'm sorry I was out so late, Emy just wouldn't let me come home until we had gone to every store in the mall."

"That's okay." Sara's voice called to her from the bedroom.

"I just have to put some stuff in the fridge and hang my jacket up," She walked toward the kitchen as she spoke, "But then I'll be sure to give you a good time."

"Wow," She could hear the playfulness in Sara's voice, "Cocky for someone who got home late."

"It can be cock-y if you want it." She couldn't see it, but she could feel Sara's eyes roll.

She finished putting her things away and tossed her jacket over the kitchen counter before walking back to the bedroom.

"Hey bella." Sara smiled up at her from one knee. She was wearing a well-tailored suit that Tegan had never seen before. The room was decorated with little hearts. And upon further inspection, Tegan noticed that they were sewn out of velvet, right up the middle. Tears formed in her eyes.

"You…you did all this?" Tegan choked out.

"Emy helped with some of it." Sara was speaking tenderly.

Tegan looked around again. There were little notes written on most of the hearts. The one closest to her said 'You were in all my dreams. It kept me happy.'

"That's still true, you know." Tegan smiled through her tears as she spoke.

Sara looked at the note and smiled, "It's true for me as well. And now I have something to ask you."

Tegan bit her lip to try and keep herself from crying.

"Tegan Rain Quin," Sara pulled a small black box from her jacket pocket, opening it up and revealing a simple white gold ring, "Will you spend the rest of your life with me, as my wife?"

Tegan couldn't even respond other than a small nod. Sara smiled brightly, tears welling up in her eyes as Tegan held her left hand out, ready for a ring to be on it. Sara placed it on Tegan's left ring finger before standing up and hugging her tightly.

Present Day:

Tegan brushed a tear out of her eye and smiled at her fiancée.

"Are you okay Tegan?" Sara rubbed her arm gently.

"I'm happy." Tegan continued to smile, "You make me happy angel."

"You make me happier bella."

They shared a gentle kiss before pulling away and smiling at each other. Tegan could see the love in Sara's eyes. A love that she hoped she was returning at at least half the intensity.
