Chapter 39

Jason held Katherine tight as they swayed to soft melody playing from the speakers, her head resting lightly on his shoulder and her arms draped lazily down around his neck. The sweet scent of cherry blossoms filled his nostrils as he breathed in her scent.

"That was really a beautiful ceremony." Kat said softly, almost dreamily. "I'm so happy for Tommy and Anna."

"Me too, she's good for him." Jason nodded. The ceremony had been simple, but still elegant. Jason had served as the best man, wearing a black tux with yellow bow-tie and pocket square. Anna's best friend, Jasmine, had been the maid of honor wearing a strapless yellow gown. Kat and Adam had been the other members of the wedding party, matching Jason and Jasmine. Lilly had been the flower girl wearing a yellow fluffy dress and a halo of white roses in her dark blonde hair. Tommy had been dressed exactly like his groomsmen, with the exception of a large red rose pinned to his jacket. Anna was a vision of loveliness. Her gown had been a mermaid design with a peekaboo backing and long sleeves in lace. A yellow sash was tied around her waist and she carried a bouquet of white and yellow roses. There was just a hint of a baby bump under her gorgeous dress, but she didn't care if anyone figured it out.

"Any word on when Zack is finally going to pop the question to Kimberly. She's been having a hard time today." Kat picked up her head, gesturing toward the short brunette with her chin. "She's really starting to think that he's never going to marry her."

"I'm so surprised that she hasn't demanded he marry her yet." Jason chuckled as he looked over at Kimberly where sat alone at a table with Kyle on her lap. Her soft brown eyes watching the bride and groom on the dance floor, a hint of sadness etched deep in them. "I keep telling Zack to stop waiting for the 'right' moment and just ask her already. Part of me thinks he's not ready, even though he pretty much already committed himself to her. It's a big step to say 'I do'."

"I know what your saying. It's killing me to not tell her that Zack plans to propose soon." Kat groaned as she laid her forehead against Jason's broad shoulder.

"I'm surprised you've been able to keep that secret for as long as you have." Jason teased.

"You're not funny." Kat said into his shoulder. "And for that comment you're not getting any."

"Can I least stay in our bed?"

"I'm not sure yet. You just might have to use the spare room downstairs."

"Harsh Snowflake." Jason rolled his eyes, knowing full well that Kat was making empty threats. In the last month since their return from New York, she had become almost insatiable. Hardly keeping her hands to herself. She'd starting smiling more and taken an interest in planning their wedding. She was settling in nicely as a housewife. They'd talked once about her finding a job, but she wasn't sure what she wanted to do. Jason had converted part of the basement into a studio for her, and Lilly, which she spent a lot of time in, getting herself back into shape or teaching Lilly new moves.

Kat wasn't fighting against her psychologist anymore, and had opened up to him. The doctor had told Jason that, while she wasn't fully recovered, Kat was making tremendous gains in her mental health. Going back to New York seemed to be exactly what Katherine had needed.

"Ladies and Gentleman, may I have your attention." Zack called over the speakers. The room fell quiet and all eyes quickly went to him. "First off, I want to say congratulations to the happy couple. It's about time Tommy, and Anna, welcome to the family. Secondly, where is my lovely baby mama? Kimberly?"

"She's over here!" Rocky waved his hands, pointing at the petite woman trying to hide herself behind her baby.

"Ah, there you are!" Zack grinned. "I have permission from Tommy and Anna to give you a very special gift. So baby, this one is for you."

The lights suddenly went out except for the disco ball hanging from the ceiling as the soft melodic tune filled the air. Katherine didn't recognize the tune, but Jason suddenly nodded his head leaving Kat to guess that he did. Just then the spotlight flashed on and there stood Tanya with a microphone. Her strong voice belted out the words to a romantic ballad, as Zack led Kimberly out onto the dance floor, leaving Kyle with Rocky.

Jason wrapped his arms around Katherine from behind, as he leaned against his strong frame. They watched Zack and Kimberly dance in the middle of the floor all by themselves. When the music ended Zack took Kimberly's hands into his own as he dropped down on one knee in front of her.

"Oh my God!" Kimberly cried as she looked wildly around the room.

"Kimberly, you have been the sunshine in my life for years now. You've given me the most precious gift I could ever ask for, our son. You've been my biggest supporter, my rock, my reason to live, my companion. I think it's time I finally gave you the one thing that you want from me. If you'll have me, I'm ready to ask you to be my wife." He took out a small red velvet box and opened it for her. Kimberly's hands flew over her mouth as tears streaked down her cheeks. "Kimberly Ann Hart, will you marry me?"

"Yes!" Kimberly nodded ecstatically as Zack slipped the ring out of the box and onto her finger. Kimberly admired the shinning gem on her finger as he eyes widened. "You got my grandmother's ring?"

"Yes." Zack nodded.

"Oh Zack, you're the most wonderful man ever. I love you!" Kimberly pulled him to his feet before claiming his lips with hers.

"Congratulations!" People cheered. Tommy stepped out onto the dance floor with Anna, giving both Kimberly and Zack a hug.

"And now, back to the party!" Rocky called out over the speakers.

"Rocky!" Tanya's voice carried over the groans without the aid of a microphone.

"I think he's a dead man." Kat laughed as the music once again resumed.

"Yeah." Jason chuckled.

"Look over there." Kat pointed toward the table Kimberly had been sitting at earlier. Lilly was holding Kyle's hands as he stood, trying to get him to dance with her.

"She really likes babies." Jason nodded as he watched his daughter pick up Kyle. She placed him on her hip, holding him tight as she danced to the music with him. Kimberly made her way back to her son and watched Lilly with a smile.

"Have you told her about Tommy and Anna yet?" Kat questioned.

"No, not yet. Tommy wants to be the one to tell her."

"She'll be so excited." Kat nodded.

"Do you want to dance some more?"

"Of course." Kat grinned letting Jason take her hand and lead her out onto the floor. Halfway through the song, a strong hand took hold of her wrist, causing the couple to stop dancing.

"May I?" Tommy asked. Jason nodded, putting Kat's delicate hand into the grooms and wandering off to find the bride for a dance.

"I'm very happy for you Tommy." Kat said he wrapped an arm around her waist.

"Thanks Kat." Tommy replied. "Do you ever wonder what our lives would be like if this had been our wedding?"

"Sometimes." Kat nodded. "At times when I'm working on plans for mine and Jason's, I find myself purposefully choosing something different so that it's nothing like what I had planned for you and I."

"I'm happy that you found him, Kat. Jason is an extremely lucky man to have claimed your heart."

"Thank you, Tommy." Kat smiled. "I'm glad that you found Anna, she's good for you."

"She completes me." Tommy nodded. "I'm glad she gave me another chance."

"I... I'm glad for that Tommy." Kat averted her gaze from his soft chocolate eyes.

"Kat, what's wrong?" Tommy asked softly.

"Nothing." Kat shook her head.

"Kat..."

"It's just... you... you once said that about me. That I completed you." Kat looked back at him, trying to fight back the tears. She gave a small sad laugh. "It's stupid that it bothers me, I have Jason. I love him so much."

"It's not stupid Angel Eyes." Tommy shook his head. "You completed the man that I was ten years ago, but I've changed so much and so have you."

"I know."

"Can I tell you a secret?"

"Of course." Kat nodded as she gently wiped away a stray tear.

"Sometimes I'm very jealous of Jason."

"Huh?"

"He got you to open up like I never could. He holds you like I never could. In ways I think he is better for you than I ever could have been. Even when we lost Charlie, you didn't lean on me the way you lean on him."

"Tommy..." Kat started but Tommy quickly cut her off.

"Relying on someone isn't a bad thing Kat. That's what marriage and love is supposed to be. Being each others support and foundation. Despite what you're thinking right now, you are that for Jason. Without you, he would be lost."

"Thank you Tommy." Kat nodded as she threw her arms around his neck in a tight hug. "I love you."

"I love you too Angel Eyes." Tommy replied. "Now I'm going to go rescue my bride from Jason and his terrible dancing."

"He's getting better." Kat laughed.

"Thanks to you." Tommy winked and then left her alone.

"Have a nice chat?" Jason asked from behind her after a few moments.

she' "Yes, thank you." Kat grinned as she turned around, instinctively her arms found their way over his shoulders around his neck. "I love you Jason, so much."

"I love you too Kat." Jason replied before placing a soft kiss on her lush pink lips. "I can't wait for our big day."

"Me either Jase." Kat grinned. "April can't come fast enough."

"We could always step it up like Tommy and Anna." Jason chuckled.

"No, no, no. My family has already booked their tickets for an April wedding. No changing it." Kat shook her head. "Besides, I have a feeling that I'll be busy helping another bride-to-be with her wedding. Now that Kim's finally got the proposal, I don't think she'll be wasting any time planning her wedding. I bet they're married before Halloween this year."

"That's only four months away, do you really think she'll have a whole wedding thrown together that fast?"

"Who do you think helped Anna pull off this shotgun wedding?" Kat raised an eyebrow. "I wouldn't be surprised if she's already got the whole thing planned and now just needs to go buy everything and make reservations."

"True enough." Jason laughed. "Have you decided where you want our wedding?"

"I was thinking outside or the beach." Kat shrugged. "What do you want?"

"Anything, so long as I get to marry you."

"You sure? I mean it's not too late for Kim and me to switch grooms. You could marry her."

"Kat." Jason rolled his eyes.

"I'm serious, you and Kim would make a handsome couple." Kat grinned. Jason didn't respond, instead he dipped her backwards and claimed her lips in a searing kiss. "Or maybe you can marry me." Kat said breathlessly against his lips after he'd released her.

"You sure?"

"You might have to kiss me like that again just to make sure."

"I'd be happy to." Jason grinned as he once again claimed her lips.

"Oh yes, most definitely. Marry me." Kat nodded as Jason brought her to an upright position.

"Good." Jason grinned. "Now what do you say we make some moves on the dance floor? I want to show off my dancing lessons."

"I'm right behind you Jase." Kat grinned.
