Prompted by guest- Joe and mercy get married.

Chapter 24- I do:

Joe sat down on his bed and pulled the small box from his pocket. Smiling he opened it and watched how the diamond in the middle of the ring sparkled. Mercedes was going to love it. He was over Lindsey, after all she had slept with his brother but Joe wasn't going to dwell on her. It was just going to be him, Mercedes and JJ. The problem was, he didn't know when he could get Mercedes on her own.

Mercedes sat down and thought. She thought how her life had changed, she and Joe had been in a steady relationship and for once in her life things were going well. Fair enough Lindsey was still about but Joe didn't love her, and that was enough for Mercedes.

"Alright you?" Myra asked as she walked into the McQueen household to find Mercedes sitting on the sofa. "Yeah I'm fine mum" Mercedes replied and Myra set the shopping bags down on the work top. "You sure, you just looked very deep in thought. Like in a trance" Myra commented and chuckled to herself. "I was just thinking about Joe" Mercedes said and Myra raised her eyebrows.

"Ooh, when's the wedding?" Mercedes frowned, "he hasn't asked me to marry him." Myra nodded but couldn't hide her laughter. "So what we're you thinking about then?" Myra asked sitting down next to Mercedes. "I was thinking about how happy we are" she said, sighing. "I don't remember the last time I was this happy." Myra smiled, this was the Mercedes she liked to see and despite Mercedes saying no, she knew they would have a wedding.

Joe went downstairs into the Roscoe kitchen and found Robbie and Ziggy, no doubt talking about girls. "Hey you two, you got a sec?" Joe asked walking over to them as the two of them stopped talking. "Yeah, what about?" Robbie asked and Ziggy smiled a cheeky smile; he knew it was going to be about a girl. "Is it about a cheeky Mercedes?" Ziggy asked Joe shot him a glare.

"I'm going to ask Mercedes to marry me" Joe said and Robbie and Ziggy both stood there shocked. Joe had only been with Mercedes for a few months and now they were getting married. "Are you sure?" Robbie asked. Joe frowned, "course I am Rob. Why do you not think I should marry her?" Ziggy senses that things could quickly get out hand, decided to step in. "No course he ain't, we're both just a bit shocked" Ziggy said walking forward and slinging his arm around Joe's shoulder. "So what are you planning on doing?" Ziggy asked and Joe thought for a second. "A nice meal, then I'll pop the question." Ziggy nodded, "alright then, me and Rob will get some stuff sorted won't we?"

Robbie frowned and scoffed, not wanting to admit that he was happy to help his brother. "Great, get your girl down here for 6pm" Ziggy said. "Hold on, you two are gonna organise a date night for me and Mercy?" Joe asked, unconvinced that this would go to plan. "You just get Mercedes down here for 6pm and leave the rest to us" Ziggy said as he lead Joe out of the room.

"Right then, let's get started" Ziggy said as he turned round to face Robbie after Joe had left. "Hold on, how are we gonna do this?" Robbie still not even sure why he agreed to this in the first place. "I have my ideas" Ziggy said smiling and Robbie could feel a little sense of dread in the bottom of his stomach.

As Mercedes and Myra talked, Mercedes felt her phone buzz. She pulled it out and looked at it; she had one new message from Joe. She opened it and smiled when she seen it. Myra noticed this and couldn't help herself. "Who's pleased you?" She asked and Mercedes smiled. "Joe has invited me round for dinner, tonight at 6pm" she explained and Myra smiled.

"Aww Mercy, we need to get you ready" Myra said as she pulled Mercedes of the sofa. "Mum! You do realise we have like 5 hours before I have to go" she said as Myra pulled her up the stairs laughing.

Joe sat in the pub and thought. He was hapoy, Mercedes was happy so everything was going to plan. He thought about what Ziggy and Robbie would be doing, and he was starting to doubt his decision of leaving them in charge. He looked at his watch and realised it was 5pm, he put his pint down and got up to leave.

"Right then, I think we're done" Ziggy said as he and Robbie stepped back from the kitchen. They decorated the bench with a red table cloth, clean white plates and wine glasses. They'd also sprinkled little hearts over the bench to spice it up. The room itself, looked pretty good. They'd dimmed the lights and placed red and blue lights around, while they had a curry cooking on the hob with a chocolate dessert in the fridge. Ziggy and Robbie were proud.

Joe walked into the house and was going to go upstairs but he couldn't help himself. Joe walked past the stairs and into the kitchen; when he walked in, Joe couldn't believe his eyes. His good for nothing brothers, had actually been good for something. "Zig, Rob, did you do all of this?" Joe asked he turned to face them. "Yeah" Ziggy replied. "What do you think?" Robbie asked. "I think it's really good" Joe said and Ziggy smiled. "Well you better go and get ready."

At 5:45pm Joe was ready. He'd showed and changed his clothes so he was wearing some smart trousers and a shirt. He made his way downstairs to find Robbie and Ziggy both in the living room. "Er, you two aren't staying" Joe said walking into the living room. "What you going on about, I can't miss this special moment" Ziggy said and Robbie smirked, agreeing with his brother. "Go now" Joe said sternly and the two Roscoe boys got up and walked out, both tutting and smiling as they walked past Joe.

Once he'd made sure that Ziggy and Robbie had left, Joe walked into the kitchen just to check that everything was alright. It looked alright. He checked in his pocket that he had the ring and yep he did, so Joe was ready to go.

6pm on the dot was when the doorbell rang and Joe jumped from where he was in the living room, diving to the front door. He opened it and couldn't believe his eyes. Mercedes was standing there in a royal blue dress, he hair in curls and beautiful white high heels. "You look beautiful" Joe said as he invited Mercedes inside. "Thank you" she said blushing slightly.

Joe lead Mercedes through to the kitchen and she sat down at the decorated bench. "This looks nice" she said and Joe laughed. "Don't worry, I didn't do this; it was Ziggy and Robbie." Mercedes smiled, "well that explains it then." The pair ate and laughed right into the night, with Joe constantly thinking about when was the right time to ask the question. Joe decided that now right, he just hoped that she would say yes.

"Joe that was lovely" Mercedes said as she finished her dessert. "I'm glad you liked it" Joe said taking the plate away and reaching in his pocket. He got on one knee next to Mercedes and she frowned. "Joe what are you doing?" She asked taking a sip of her wine. "Mercedes, I can't remember the last time I was this happy. With me, you and JJ I feel like my life is complete, so I'm asking you this to make sure it stays complete. Will you marry me Mercedes?"

Mercedes stared down at Joe after his speech; she was speechless. "Yeah, yeah course i will!" Mercedes got up and hugged Joe still screaming. Joe just smiled and hugged her back. "Come one then, put it on" she said pulling away from the hug and holding out her hand. Joe slipped the ring on her finger and the pair kissed. For the both of them, this was perfection.

6 months later

Today was the day of Joe and Mercedes wedding. They'd waited six months and now it was finally here. Surprisingly, both families had taken the news well. Joe had decided that he was going to have Freddie, Ziggy, Robbie and Jason as his best men simply because he couldn't choose between his brothers. Mercedes had decided that decided that John Paul would give her away, Theresa, Celine and Cleo would be her bridesmaids and Myra would be her maid of honour.

"Are you nervous?" Jason asked Joe as he walked into the living room to find Joe tying his tie in the mirror. "You know what, Jase I'm not" Joe replied and Jason nodded, glad that his brother was happy. "You ready?" Joe asked Jason. "Yeah" he replied. "Good cos I think you're the only one" Joe said as he made his way to the bottom of the stairs. "Are you lot nearly ready!"

"Mercy, don't go spilling anything down that dress" Myra said as Mercedes went downstairs in her wedding dress. "Don't worry mum, I won't." The McQueen house was chaos. Everyone wanted to see Mercedes in her dress while they were all trying to get ready themselves.

"Ooh look at you" John Paul said as Mercedes went downstairs. "What do you think?" Mercedes asked, wanting to know if her brother approved. "I think you look lovely" he said, Mercedes smiled and sat down next to him. "Are you sure?" John Paul asked and Mercedes frowned. "Sure about what?" Mercedes asked. "Today" Josh Paul replied. "Yeah course I am."

"Fred that's not how it goes" Robbie said running down the stairs after Freddie. Freddie said he'd 'help' Robbie with his shirt and how the tie went but instead had managed to nearly choke Robbie and get a not in the tie. "Well it is now" Freddie said smirking. "What's all the noise for?" Joe asked as he walked into the hallway. "He's screwed up my tie" Robbie said, looking at Freddie while pulling on his tie.

"Freddie what have you done?" Joe asked, not in the mood for any of his brothers games. "Nothing, just offered to help the kid tie his tie." Joe sighed, "Robbie come on" he said ushering Robbie into the living room.

"Right then, everybody ready?" Myra asked as she looked around the living room. John Paul was dressed in his suit looking very handsome; Celine, Theresa and Cleo were all in their bridesmaids dresses and they looked beautiful. Myra had a light pink dress which she loved and she'd picked it especially. Then Myra looked at Mercedes, her daughter. She looked stunning. Her hair was up in a bun with bit drapping down that had been curled, while her dress was a clean white which sparkled in the sun.

"Yep, I think so mum" John Paul said and Myra nodded. "Right then, let's get going!" Myra and the McQueens made their way out of the house and down to the pink limousine.

"Right then boys, this is it" Joe said as he got out of the car at the church. They'd managed to get out of the house in time, with everyone looking correct. "You ready?" Ziggy asked Joe as he stood next to him in front of the church. "You know what Zig, I am." The Roscoe boys walked into the church for what would hopefully be Joe's last time getting married.

"Ooh Mercy look at this" Myra said as she got out of the limousine, staring up at the church. "Ahh, it's gorgeous" Celine added as John Paul helped Mercedes out. "Watch your stepping" he said. Once Mercedes was out the McQueens made their way inside.

20 minutes later and all of the guests had taken their seats; now Joe was waiting for Mercedes to walk down the aisle. He looked around and saw that his brothers were standing and sitting around looking slightly bored. He smiled to himself, then he looked at Celine, Theresa and Cleo who were sitting down talking, no doubt about their dresses.

He heard the music start and his breath hitched. This was it. He turned round to face the vicar, swallowing and tried to hide his excitement. He let a smile escape his lips and as the music went on longer he knew that Mercedes was getting closer. He turned to his left and there she was. She looked amazing.

The pair said their vows and the guests were silent, promising to remember this moment forever. "You may kiss the bride" the vicar said, rounding off the ceremony. Joe and Mercedes leaned into one another and kissed, they pulled apart and looked at the guests. Everyone was cheering and smiling; this really was the happiest day of their lives.

Thank you so much for reading, please review and if you have any suggestions then please feel free to leave them :)

Also, I am sorry for the delay in updating but I have been weighed down by school work. So I'm letting you know that I am NOT abandoning this story but updates might be a bit slower than usual :)

Next chapter prompted by guest- where do Jason's eating issues really come from? When he was younger, he was bullied at school for being chubby. Nobody knows, but Jason seeks comfort in food and feels disgusting afterwards, causing him to purge and promised never to eat again
