A/N: Final chapter, but look for a sequel to start shortly. Thanks for all of the favorites, follows and especially reviews. Reviews always appreciated. :-)

Seth sits on the bed in his room and sighs. He pulls out his phone and begins typing.

Celeste is curled up on her bed crying. "I can't believe I hurt him." she whimpers.

Her phone alerts her that she has a text. She sees that it's from Seth and reads, "I do know that you love me. I love you too. Goodnight."

She smiles and replies, "Goodnight."

She goes to his room the next morning. "I want to explain." she says.

"Okay." he replies calmly.

"Some people have told me they don't see how I've made it in this business because I don't think things have to be a certain way." Celeste states. "I get the concept of a chicken heel. I just don't think the role should be played by someone with incredible ability. Seth I love you. And I think you're amazing in that ring. I don't want anything to overshadow that."

Seth pulls her close. "I do understand what you're saying. But I really do think this will be good for me in the long run."

Celeste closes her eyes and takes a deep breath. She looks up at him and says, "As a fan, I will completely hate it. As a co-worker, I will enjoy fighting you." She smiles. "As the woman in your life, I will support you."

Seth smiles and kisses her. "As long as the woman in my life supports me, everything will be fine."

"Speaking of life," Celeste begins. "We have been talking about the wedding, but not where to live."

"Wow." Seth says. "I really hadn't thought about it with how much we're away from home."

"Well I have." Celeste says. "I want us to find a house in Iowa."

"Are you sure?" Seth asks. "I mean you love Knoxville. The waterfall, your church."

"I do love it. I will visit those places when I can, but I need to move on and create a new life." Celeste insists. "I don't have my mother, but you have yours and should be near her when possible. Plus, I really did like the church Liam and Joanne took us to."

"You're certain about this?" Seth inquires.

Celeste smiles. "Where you go I will go, and where you stay I will stay. Your people will be my people."
Seth is perplexed. "What?"

"It's from the book of Ruth. Technically she was saying it to her dead husband's mother, but it's used a lot in wedding ceremonies."

"Thank you." Seth replies. "I just want you to be happy."

"I am happy." Celeste assures.

It's the Raw after Payback. Batista had quit earlier in the evening, leaving Hunter and Randy alone in Evolution. The Shield come out for the main event, which was supposed to be Roman versus Randy. Before they head out Seth whispers to Celeste, "Really lay it on me."

She smiles knowing what he's referring to. Celeste admires her boys as they boast about their victory. Seth makes a point of insisting the reason the Shield survived was because of their brotherhood. Randy and Hunter make their way down the ramp. Hunter carrying his sledgehammer over his shoulder causes Seth to exit the ring and grab a chair.

Hunter says, "In case you haven't figured it out yet, what I do better than anybody is adapt. Last night was plan A, tonight plan B. There's always a plan B."

Celeste leans against the ropes glaring at him. Roman and Dean step forward. Out of the corner of her eye, Celeste sees Seth raise the chair and screams as he hits Roman in the back. Dean is momentarily stunned, then charges at Seth, only to be hit in the mid-section with the chair. Celeste collapses, trembling, pleading with Seth to stop the assault as he continues to bash Dean with the object. Seth ignores her. After he curb stomps Dean onto another chair, he exits the ring and hands Randy a chair. As Randy enters the ring to torture Roman further, Seth reaches in and pulls Celeste out of the ring.

"Let's go." he says.

She spins around and slaps him hard across the face. "WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" she shrieks. In reality she felt bad realizing she'd hit him harder than she intended, but had to continue to play the scene as if she were shocked and disgusted by his actions.

Once they get backstage, she apologizes, "I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hit you that hard."

"He deserved it, since he hit us so hard!" Dean interjects.

Seth laughs. "It's okay. I told you to really lay it on me and you did."

Heading into Money in the Bank, Roman was feuding with Randy. Dean and Celeste had harassed Seth and the Authority until they agreed to put Dean in the MITB ladder match against Seth and four other Superstars.

During the chaotic match, Kane had interfered on Seth's behalf to take out Dean. In retaliation as Seth neared the top of the ladder, Celeste entered the ring, raced up the ladder and took him down with a hurricanrana. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to thwart the Authority's plan, and Seth still managed to win the briefcase.

Seth and Celeste decided to wed on August 30th. Yes just a year and six days after she was going to marry John. Seth and Celeste prayed together and were in counseling with Pastor Mac. Everyone was in agreement the couple were heading in the right direction. Seth had asked Roman to be his best man. He informed Dean that Celeste had something special she wanted to ask him to do for the wedding.

"You're not gonna ask me to be your maid of honor are you?" Dean teases.

"Sort of." Celeste replies.

"You're kidding?" Dean asks.

"It's not like you have to wear a dress. Just a nice suit and stand next to me." she explains.

He smirks. "Yeah I guess I can do that."

"There is more." she adds. "Will you walk me down the aisle?"

He puts his arm around her shoulders. "Well as the son of the bride, that is kinda my job right?"

She laughs. "Yep. Wow, your little brother is gonna be your dad. That's some weird soap opera stuff we're getting into."

"We're wrestlers. We live a soap opera." he claims

"True. There is one more thing." She takes a deep breath and blinks back tears. "I'm gonna have a seat for my mom. When Seth and I exchange rings, I'll hand you my bouquet, would you lay it on the seat?"

He gives her a hug. "I'll be glad to."

Even though Dean was her attendant for the wedding, Celeste did love girl talk with the other Divas.

"You're going to look beautiful." insists Nattie.

"Thank you." Celeste beams.

"Are you nervous about the wedding night?" Nattie asks. Celeste had made it known once that she was saving herself for marriage.

"Not really." Celeste answers. "I've waited a long time and I'm looking really forward to it."

"You're a lucky girl!" inserts newest diva Summer. "Seth doesn't have a lot to work with, but what he's got…oh my."

Celeste feels herself going numb. What the heck is she hearing?

"Shut up, Summer!" Nattie snaps. "Celeste doesn't need to hear your garbage!"

"What? I'm just telling her she's got something to look forward to." Summer insists.

Celeste dashes out of the locker room, nearly running down Naomi.

Seth finishes his Chipotle and throws away his trash. Suddenly, he's hit with an urgent feeling that something's not right with Celeste. He approaches the women's locker room as Nattie is coming out. "Hey Nattie. Is Celeste in there?" he asks.

"No. She just ran out. Summer…."

"Oh no." Seth groans, not needing to hear any more. He goes to find his fiancée. He sees her pacing in the parking area. "Sparky?" he says softly.

"When were you with Summer?!" she snaps. She knew Seth had not cheated on her, so her rage sort of surprised her.

Seth takes her hands. "Come here." He leads her to a bench. She can't look at him as they sit. "It was shortly after I found out Claire was cheating on me. I'd ended things and Summer was just out of a relationship. We thought we could do the whole "friends with benefits" thing. It only happened a couple of times and I realized that I couldn't do it. I need and want a real connection."

Tears fall from Celeste's eyes and she sighs. "I don't even know why I'm so upset. I knew you weren't a virgin. I also know that once you accepted Jesus, the past doesn't matter. You're a new creation."

Seth pulls her close. "If I could take back every time I gave myself to someone else I would." He looks into her eyes. "You have to know that I don't think about or want anyone but you. I'm never going to want anyone but you for the rest of my life."

She kisses him. "I believe you. I love you."

"I love you too." he says.

The big day arrives. Frances and Roman's wife, Olivia help Celeste with her dress.

"You look like a princess." says Roman's six-year-old daughter Rochelle.

"Thank you." Celeste beams.

There is a knock on the door. "Father of the bride." Dean calls jokingly.

"Come in." Celeste calls.

Dean enters the room and exclaims. "Wow! You look amazing. Are you as jittery as the groom?"

Celeste laughs. "Not quite, but a bit."

Seth and Celeste exchange vows. Celeste smiles as Seth's voice softly cracks as he recites his. Time comes to exchange rings and she hands her bouquet to Dean. She watches as he places it on the seat with her mother's picture and tears come to her eyes. She feels Seth squeeze her hand and faces him. "I got you." he mouths. After they exchange rings, they take communion together just before they are pronounced husband and wife. They kiss and delight in knowing this is the beginning of a beautiful life together.

THE END
