RoryPOV-

''Rory,'' Jake begins, standing up and placing his hands on my shoulders ,''Stop pacing. You're gonna wear a rut in the floor.''

It's the big day. I'm getting married today.

I also think I dropped my heart somewhere between the apartment and the restaurant.

''We get you're nervous. But you don't have to be,'' Joe reminds me.

''He's right,'' Ryder agrees.

Harmony's family was nice enough to let the girls use the upstairs office to get ready since it's bigger, while we're downstairs in the smaller office.

''She loves you, dude. And you love her,'' Ryder continues, making Jake and Joe nod.

''I kn-know that,'' I groan, ''I just don't want to mess this up.''

''No offense,'' Joe begins ,''But I think all of our girlfriend's are used to us messing things up. Like the time I forgot to pick Courtney up from the library.''

''Or when I forgot to tell Marley I'd be late to our date,'' Jake supplies.

''And there's too many times that I have messed up with Blair. But if she and I can work it out, then anyone can,'' Ryder admits.

''I just… I know our marriage won't be perfect, but I want today to be perfect for her at least.''

''Then stop worrying. It will all turn out great. Just get out there, and marry here,'' Jake grins.

''I don't know what I'd do without you,'' I admit.

''Awww, see who's feeling better,'' Ryder jokes, pinching my cheek ,''Jake, Joe, the baby's all grown up. He's getting married in two hours.''

''You guys are idiots,'' I mumble, causing the three of them to laugh.

And they are. But I don't know what I'd do without them.

Or without Sugar, for that matter. Luckily, in two hours, I'll be able to spend the rest of my life with her.


SugarPOV-

''You have to calm down,'' Blair tells me, sitting next to me on the couch.

''I c-can't,'' I breathe out, wiping at my eyes.

''It's just cold feet,'' she reassures me ,''every bride gets them.''

''I think it's more than that,'' I play with the belt of my robe ,''I… I think this is a mistake.''

''Sugar,'' Blair begins ,''Are you trying to back out of the wedding.''

I don't know.

''I-I don't know,'' I admit, and Blair sighs.

''Look, you love Rory, right?,'' she questions.

''More than I love myself,'' I nod, ''And that's a lot.''

She smiles a bit ,''You are the love of his life. Hell, I think you are his life. Besides my dad and Kurt, I have never seen two people so right for eachother. I wish that Ryder and I had what the two of you have, We don't, and we never will. We're both too damn stubborn. You and Rory don't have to fight to solve your problems. And you make it work. I guess what I'm saying is… think about this.''

''I have,'' I reassure her ,''I can't stand the thought of having to go through with Rory what my parents are experiencing right now. T-they are going through this messy, harsh divorce. I don't want that.''

''I get that you are scared. But just because your parents had a bad divorce doesn't mean that you and Rory will. They're not, like, inherited or anything. You and Rory will make it work. I know it,'' she stands up and faces me ,''If you really don't want to do this, don't leave my brother at the alter. Just… talk to him. But before you make any rash decisions, answer this: could you really imagine your life without him?''

Never.

''Harmony text me. She and Courtney are here with your dress. I'm gonna go help them,'' she leaves then, giving me time alone.

My phone buzzes, and I smile when I see a new message from Rory.

Rory:

I love you, beautiful, I can't wait to marry you :)

To an outsider, it may seem like a simple text. To me, it's more than enough confirmation for me. I love Rory.

My parents had lack of communication caused their marriage to fall apart. Rory and I? We don't have that problem. The only communication they had was fighting. Over bills, over accusations of one or the other being unfaithful… over me.

Rory and I… we don't want to be like them. We will make it until the end. I don't need to think about it anymore. I love Rory, and he loves me.

This is one decision that I know I will not regret.


KPOV-

''What's with you,'' my dad asks, ;leaning against the wall with me.

''Is it supposed to be this nerve-wracking?,'' I look at my dad ,''I'm not even the one getting married.''

''It's normal,'' he nods ,''I was a wreck on your wedding day. I thought Carole was going to have to slap me before I went hysterical.''

I let out a loud laugh then, the first in a week.

''It's just… I know I agreed to this, but he's eighteen. I wish he had waited a few years, but I guess he knows his heart better than I do,'' I sigh.

''You're one to talk,'' my dad raises an eyebrow ,''If you'd met Blaine in high school, don't you think you would have been married well before now?''

''I guess you're right,'' I admit ,''And they're good together. This will work out. They'll be fine.''

Rory spent months convincing me that, and now I finally get it.

''As much as I love talking about my grandson, that isn't exactly why I came over here,'' he nods towards Blaine ,''What's going on with you two?''

We have had no time to ourselves. We know having kids changes things, but I have had more time to talk to Adam than I have with Blaine in the past two weeks.

Adam, who's funny and sweet and meets me for coffee when I'm headed to my lunch break and he's taking his lunch break from the NYADA dance camp. Who tells me I'm being completely ridiculous, and that Blaine and I should make time together.

But with graduation, the wedding, helping Blair move her things, and caring for Grace, it's been difficult.

Which put a minor strain on our relationship.

''Look,'' my dad takes my silence, answering the unsaid question ,''The first year is hard. Even harder for you guys, because you were going into it with three kids, your job that takes up most of your time, and bad histories with relationships. But you two are good together. Of course, this will not work if you don't make it work. But I know you two will. Now, if you need me, Mr. Anderson is dealing with my crying wife and his crying wife. I'd better go help him.''

My dad, my hero, pats me on my shoulder before walking over to them.

Blaine is looking at the place cards in the dining hall of the restaurant, where the reception will take place.

He jumps when I wrap my arms around his waist, before settling into my embrace and letting me press a kiss to his cheek.

''I love you,'' I remind him.

''I love you, too. What was that for,'' he turns to face me, wrapping me into a hug.

''I just… we need to make some alone time. Soon. I love you, and you love me. And the kids are our worlds,'' I admit ,''But I'd much rather confide in you than Adam.''

''Adam?''

''We get coffee together for our lunch breaks,'' I admit ,''About the same time that you are taking Grace to the park or something, or meeting up with Sebastian and Dani. You deserve a break, Blaine.''

''Thanks, but so do you,'' he kisses me then ,''Kurt, I love you. And I completely, without a doubt, trust you. I am glad you have a friend like Adam. But I think you're right: we're supposed to talk to eachother. We'll make some alone time, soon.''

The way he winces when he says Adam's name doesn't go unnoticed, but I ignore it in favor of enjoying the fact that we're finally going to be together.

''We'd better go,'' he takes my hand ,''The wedding starts at two. That's in fifteen minutes.''

''Yup,'' I sigh ,''Let's go watch our son get married.''

''He didn't rush into this, Kurt,'' he reminds me, looking at our entwined hands ,''Sometimes you just know that you're with the one.''

That puts everything into perspective, because I know what it's like to find the one. I think part of me knew that was Blaine from the beginning, but the other half wouldn't accept it. The smarter half had to make me be with Blaine, forcing the other side to give this man a chance.

And that's the greatest chance I have ever taken.


RoryPOV-

''Calm the hell down,'' Ryder whispers as Grace toddles down the aisle, soaking in the coos from the audience.

''Here goes nothing,'' I mumble, waiting for Sugar and…

I don't care how cliche' and expected and unoriginal this sounds, she has never been so beautiful than in that moment.

The way she's smiling at me, the way she waves at me as her dad walks her down the aisle, the way the white dress and veil make her look like… like an angel…

She is gorgeous.

She stands across from me, bright eyes on mine, and… this is it. I'm about to get married.

''Dearly beloved,'' Sam begins ,''We're gathered here today to join Rory Hummel and Sugar Motta in matrimony.''


SugarPOV-

''And now the vows. Rory,'' Sam smiles at my fiance'.

Soon to be my husband.

''Sugar Motta,'' Rory takes my hand ,''I love you so, so much. I remember when we met, and I basically made a fool out of myself because I tripped over my shoes and couldn't speak. And you… you asked me if I needed to go to the nurse.''

That pulls a laugh from the audience, and Rory rubs his thumb on the back of my hand.

''It took me a while to ask you out. But you agreed to go to the homecoming dance with me, and then we were dating. The first few months were really, really rocky for us. We were both working with our insecurities and fears, and the freshness of being in our first relationships. Looking back, I don't regret any of it. Now look at us: getting married. I promise to be the best husband I can be, and even eat food I don't like just because you do, and to always help you whenever you need it. I love you.''

''And now,'' Sam grins at me ,''Sugar?''

''Rory… I was terrified to give you a chance. I've heard horror stories of couples, and seen what relationships can turn into,'' I glance at my parents, then back to Rory, ''The thing is, I would get hurt a thousand times even if it meant only being with you once. I.. you are my other half. The better half. The half that lets me know we are going to be okay. I don't know where I'd be, what' I'd do, if I didn't have you. And, after today, I won't have to wonder.''


RoryPOV-

''Do you,'' Sam begins ,''Rory Hummel, take Sugar Motta to be your lawfully wedded wife? To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for rich, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?''

''I do,'' I smile at Sugar, who reaches up to wipe some tears from her eyes.

''And do you, Sugar Motta, take Rory Hummel, to be your lawfully wedded husband? To have and to hold, from this day forward, for better, for worse, for rich, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do you part?''

''I do,'' she whispers, taking my other hand in hers.

''May I please have the rings,'' Sam looks at Ryder, who hands him the rings, and then Sam gives them to us.

I rub my thumb over the ring after sliding onto her finger, and Sugar does the sam to mine.

''By the power invested in me, I now pronounce you husband and wife,'' Sam beams ,''You may kiss the bride.''

Sugar's soft, warm, lips press against mine, and the cheers from our family and friends fade into the back.

''Ladies and gentlemen, I'd like to introduce to you, for the first time ever, Rory Hummel, and Sugar Motta-Hummel!''

The next few minutes are a blur, Sugar and I so wrapped up in each other even as our family and friends hug and congratulate us.

''I love you, Mrs. Motta-Hummel.''

''I love you, too, Mr. Hummel,'' she beams, pressing another kiss to my lips.

Yup. This was definitely the right choice. No looking back, and no regrets.

Nothing but love.


BPOV-

''You think she had too much cake,'' Kurt jokes, looking to where Ryder, Blair, and Grace are with Rory and Sugar.

''Definitely,'' I nod, watching Grace attempt to dance with Sugar and Blair while the boys watch on.

Blair picks up Grace, walking up to Ryder as Rory joins Sugar.

''They look like a real family. Do… do you ever wonder if it would have been better to let them raise her, but we just helped them out,'' I ask.

''I think about it a lot, yes,'' Kurt nods ,''I know they love her, but I think they feel a lot better by having Grace be with us.''

Ryder takes Grace from Blair, and you can hear her laugh as he holds her. Blair just looks at two of her favorite people, a content smile on her face.

''I guess you're right,'' I admit, then look to where Rory and Sugar are.

''Look at those two,'' I grin at Kurt, ''It's like they're the only two people in the world.'

''Hmm, I know the feeling,'' he kisses me then, sitting next to me.

We may have been a bit doubtful, but now I wonder why. It's clear that Sugar and Rory are meant to be. And they do have us, if they need anything. We're always there for them, yeah?''

''Of course,'' he takes my hand ,''Are we okay? After that talk we had earlier, I have to know.''

''We're fine. Look, I know people say we'll never make it, but we've come so far and we'll keep going. I don't care what they say. I love you, and you love me. We trust each other.''

''Exactly,'' Kurt takes my face in his hands and kisses me ,''And I solved our little problem. We're gonna have the rest of the night to ourselves.''

''What do you mean,'' I question him, and he smiles.

''Blair and Ryder will take Grace to their apartment. Which leaves you and I the whole night to do whatever we want… which just happens to be eachother,'' he teases, and I choke on the water I was sipping, ''We can leave after Sugar and Rory go off for their honeymoon.''

''Sounds great,'' I nod ,''I can't wait.''

Because it really has been too long.


KPOV-

''I'm proud of you,'' I tell Rory as he waits for Sugar.

They leave in two hours, and dad is taking them to the airport.

''Yeah,'' he beams, and I nod in response.

''Look, I know you love Sugar. And I know you are an adult. I just… I sometimes have trouble seeing you as a grown up, not that ten year old little boy I adopted. But you have grown into a strong, handsome, loving young man. And I couldn't be more proud of you. I love you, Rory.''

''I love you, too, dad,'' he hugs me, and I gratefully accept it ,''I know you say grandpa is your hero, but you are mine. I can only hope I am as good as a dad as you are.''

''You will be,'' I encourage him ,''And Sugar will be a great mom. I have so much faith in the two of you. You… you remind me a lot of your uncle Finn. Don't ever lose that.''

''He sounds awesome,'' Rory admits ,''I… I won't. I promise.''

''Good,'' I look to see Sugar walking over ,''Congratulations, sweetheart. I guess you'd better start calling me Kurt, or dad.''

''Thank you, Kurt,'' she beams, then looks to Rory as if he is the only thing that matters ,''Ready?''

''Ready,'' he grins at her, then looks at me ,''Bye dad. I love you.''

''I love you, too. And you, too, Sugar. You're part of this family now,'' I remind her.

She and Rory leave after a heartwarming goodbye, and I think Sugar, Blair, Amber and Lilly cried the longest, even more than I did at the wedding.


''I love you,'' I tell Blaine as we walk to our apartment, and he opens the door.

''I love you, too,'' he takes my hand and leads me to the bedroom, ''Less talking, more kissing and undressing?''

''Definitely,'' I respond, then nearly tackle my husband onto the bed for some alone time that is much needed.

And greatly appreciated.


BlairPOV-

''She is adorable,'' Ryder looks to where Grace is fast asleep in our bed.

We'd stopped by the apartment on our way to our one bedroom apartment to get Grace's pajamas, and a change of clothes.

''She is,'' I nod, changing into my own pajamas ,''I can't wait to have more kids.''

''One day. Not now, I mean,'' Ryder begins ,''It's hard enough for us. I know our parents are helping, but you only have your job at the Spotlight Diner. And I have my job at the music store, but the one at the summer day camp ends at the beginning of August.''

''I get that,'' I remind him ,''And we're being really careful.''

He follows me to the kitchen, pulling out two glasses.

''I know you do. And I know we're being really careful, and always using protection,'' he pulls the juice out of the refrigerator ,''And you know I love you, but neither one of us is ready for a baby.''

''I know,'' I run my hand through my hair ,''I just… I know it's not easy, but I wouldn't want to do this with anyone else. I know we're still trying to figure it all out, but I'm glad I get to figure it out with you. I love you.''

''I love you, too,'' Ryder kisses me ,''And… it's nice just having this place to ourselves, yeah? Let's not rush into having a kid before we can provide for them.''

''You're right,'' I lean into his embrace ,''Besides, I'm only eighteen, and you're nineteen. We have time.''

Plenty of time. And I'm gonna spend it with you.
