The ceremony began and Jake couldn't help but notice that Elizabeth seemed a bit jumpy. She did not like the fact that Jake had been staring so longingly at Sam while she was walking down the aisle to marry him, and she certainly didn't want him to remember the truth. That would ruin the perfect life she had single-handedly built for the two of them.
"Are you okay Elizabeth? Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Jake asked her. For a second as he said those words Jake almost hoped she would say she didn't want to marry him anymore. "Of course I do Jake, there's nothing I want more." Elizabeth smiled at him. Jake's gaze once again wandered over to Sam and Danny while the priest was speaking. He loved that little boy and Danny adored Jake.
Sam liked the relationship between the two, especially since Jake genuinely cared about Danny. Sam felt bad that Danny didn't have a real father in his life, but no one could replace Jason, and she made sure her son knew all about him. The I do's were being said and of course Elizabeth said I do before the priest even finished speaking. Jake hesitated for a second, gave one last longing glance at Sam, and said I do. This was the path he had chosen to take since he had woken up a year ago, and he had to stick to it. Whatever he was feeling for Sam he needed to just forget about.
Elizabeth could not have been happier. Jason was finally hers after all this time. "He can never find out," Elizabeth thought to herself. Besides, Sam and Danny had been getting along just fine without Jason all this time. "Sam has known Jake for a year now and they still haven't realized they are husband and wife. It's pretty obvious that Jason never loved Sam, he's always loved me. He hasn't even felt a connection towards Sam this whole time." With this happy thought Elizabeth practically skipped down the aisle with Jake at her side. What Elizabeth didn't realize was that Jake did feel a pull towards Sam, he just wasn't sure why.
The whole town had showed up for Jake and Elizabeth's wedding. Carly had decided to make peace with Elizabeth after she had donated Jake's kidney to save Josslyn, and even though Jake was actually alive Carly appreciated what she had thought she did all the same. Sam had tried to make peace with Elizabeth as well, especially since Danny and Jake were brothers but there was always strained tension between them and probably always would be. They had a long and complicated history with one another and it was hard to forget it. As Elizabeth and Jake were getting ready to have their first dance as husband and wife, someone came clumsily running into the room. As Sam turned to face the door she saw Spinelli, disheveled and clearly out of breath. "Spinelli, did you just run all the way here?" "Fair Samantha it was a matter of utmost urgency that I get here as soon as possible. Alas, I see the vows have already been spoken. Never mind that though, you will all be very interested in what I have to say."
