A\N: This is my last Willicia story for a while (well I say that now but we all know I'll have more by next week), and this one is a fluffier one than my recent ones. This will be short but sweet and full of Willicia goodness, something I need today. (This takes place at the end of season 4, and it was Will on the other side of her door, not Cary so Alicia is still at Lockhart/Gardner)
I hope you enjoy this one, Angels.
Will Gardner looks at the photo that sits on his desk. It was taken 4 months ago at his wedding. The wedding that made him Alicia's husband and Zach and Grace's stepdad. It's by far one of his favourite pictures from their wedding day because it was taken when he had held out his hand out for her. It was taken when he promised Zach and Grace that he'd always take care of their mother like he'd always done.
Flashback- Wedding Day:
Will Gardner feels like his heart will leap out of his chest when he sees Alicia walking towards him with Zach and Grace on either side of her. She looks breathtaking in her white strapless dress, with her hair down her back in curls. She wears a smile on her face. Before he can blink, Alicia's hand is being placed in his by Zach. Both Zach and Grace kiss her on the cheek.
"Will, please take care of our Mom, like you've always done?" Grace asks him quietly, Will smiles at the two teenagers in front of him.
"Always." He says to the teens as she wraps his fingers around her hand, looking into her eyes.
"Hi." He mouths.
Hi." She mouths back.
Their eyes are locked together and it's just him and Alicia.
His eyes stay on hers throughout the ceremony and when it comes for him to say his vows, he doesn't need to think about what he's going to say, he's known what he's going to say for years.
"Alicia, I knew from the second that I saw you standing alone at our L1 pool party that we'd be here, no matter how long it took us, no matter what happened to us to get to this point, I knew we'd be here. It took one marriage and two amazing, smart kids for you, and one busy law career for me but we're here, we made it here, Leesh. I've spent the last 19 years loving you from afar, and I'll spend the rest of our lives loving you and your children the way you deserve to be loved." Will says, with a look at the two teenagers who are sitting with Diane, Kurt and Cary. It's time for Alicia to say her vows.
"Will, I didn't want to get married again, not after my first one, but when you asked me if we suddenly were to have good timing just for an hour. What would that look like? I knew then I wanted to marry you, but because of obvious reasons, I couldn't so I settled for the next best thing, we had an hour which turned into a night which turned into the next seven months of my life. Then when you turned up at my door three months ago, cupped my face in your hands and kissed me without a care in the world. And when you kisses me, I knew that it was it: I needed to marry you and I wanted to be married to you forever. You made me believe in love again, and I promise I will spend the rest of my life being married to you." Alicia says with tears in her eyes, their eyes still locked together.
Their smiles match as he cups her face in his hands and kisses her as her husband. They ignore the cheers and claps coming from their closest family and friends, Zach and Grace being the loudest, and walk down the aisle, he only keeps his eyes on his wife.
Arms wrap around his neck which brings him out of his wedding day.
A kiss is placed on his earlobe.
"I'll love you forever." His wife says in his ear. He chuckles. He'll never tire of hearing those words come from his wife's mouth.
"I'm okay with that." He replies as he looks over to his side and gives his wife a smile. He can't believe this woman, this smart, sexy, beautiful woman, is his forever. He gets to his feet, looks over at Diane's office which has his partner, David Lee and Julius, and kisses his wife deeply. He can see the eyes of the occupants of Diane's office and the hallway, staring at them but Will and his wife don't care. They love each other and they don't care who knows, not anymore.
"We should get out of here before we end up having sex in front of everyone." Alicia says into his mouth, Will chuckles and pulls away. "I'm free the rest of the day." He says, Alicia kisses him one last time before he leaves his office, turning to look over her shoulder. "I'll grab my stuff and meet you outside the door." His wife says before sashaying out of his office.
Ten minutes later, after shutting down his laptop, packing it and his case files up and saying goodbye to Diane who only shook her head, Will leaves his office and catches his wife's hand in his and they walk out of their law firm, hand in hand, his eyes on her.
He's only had eyes for Alicia Gardner.
A\N: I know the ending is a bit bad but if I;m being honest, I'm not feeling well as the heat is getting to me (I don't do well in the heat), and I have 3-4 stories that need doing. I hope you Angels are keeping safe in this heat and are having a good week and I hope you enjoy this one.
