"Are you ready?"Harry asked Elena as they looked upon the chapel they were getting married at. Having made arrangements with the manager of the chapel, she only had to change into her dress and meet him at the altar. Tightening her hand in his, she nodded excitedly.

"More than ready. Anything to get this official and let me have a shower and some decent bed rest,"she said brightly. He couldn't help but laugh. She had been getting increasingly cranky since April and Sharon had returned home. The women had been very reluctant to part but the men had been raring to return, especially Jason.

And Harry didn't blame him. April, despite happily spending her last few days with the others, looked increasingly fatigued and lethargic. Maybe she was just not used to being out and about. Even so, she would visit Elena without fail during her stay. Despite her energetic front, though, she would deflate and lean on Jason once they left.

The one who surprised him the most was Cameron. He was very reluctant to leave. Making excuses and delays left and right, Sharon had to practically drag him into the car going to the airport. But it's not that Harry didn't understand his reluctance. From the way he was all over Sharon, the reason was clear. But, come on. This was a bit too much for a man as old as him. He was glad that that weird man had left.

However, now that he was on his way to becoming a married man, a part of him wished that his cousins could have stayed a bit longer. The man he was today was influenced, for the most part, by his cousins. They had shaped him and guided him, celebrating his accomplishments and chastising him when he was in the wrong. Why wouldn't he want to share in this glorious day with them?

Seeing as they weren't there, though, he exhaled loudly and entered the chapel. Only to receive the biggest shock of his life. Ignoring the wailings and screaming, the sound of children running around and laughing, he had to blink a few times to make sure he wasn't dreaming.

Inside was his cousins. The ones he had been sighing over outside. Was he dreaming? If he was, this was the most realistic dream he had ever had. Because one of the babies was screaming so loud that there were echoes.

Echoes that hurt.

Hurt.

Blinking rapidly, Harry realised that this was real. His cousins were really there. With their children. Children that included a baby, three toddlers and two elementary-aged boys who have to hate being confined in a stuffy cathedral. The men was having a difficult time handling all of them.

"Uncle Harry,"one of Cameron's kids cried while he was still struggling to absorb the scene before him. Harry couldn't believe all of Cameron managed to bring all his children over. All of them. His elder two boys, female toddler and one baby girl. Barely remaining on his feet when one of the boys rammed into his legs for a hug, Harry smiled widely at his cousins. They were aware of his presence. That they were able to hear the announcement was a miracle.

"Congratulations,"Jason said while carrying his sniffling twins.These were the twins, a boy and girl, that he had been gifted with after the babies' mother got bored of looking after them. Harry could see that despite their red faces and running noses, they were dressed quite festively. In fact, all of them were. The men in their suits, the boys in a small shirt and black pants while the girls were in fancy dresses. It was evident that they had planned for this.

"How did you know?" Harry was genuinely stunned. He hadn't told them anything because there wasn't time to prepare. And they were only doing a simple wedding. Something just for them. To share the good news with the rest, they had also planned for a reception after the dust had died down. He would never expect them to be here today.

"Yo, little brother,"a voice suddenly came from the entry. Harry refused to turn around. He recognised the voice. In fact, he had heard too much of that voice in the past week.

Too.

Much.

"Ah, your brother told us,"Cameron answered hesitantly before returning to calm his youngest daughter, Dawn.

"We didn't believe it at first until I asked April. Imagine my shock when she corroborated his story." Harry felt himself sweating under his cousin's steely gaze but tried to throw him off.

"It's great to see you all here. Anyway, where are the women?"

"They're off surprising Elena and helping her get ready,"Cameron quickly replied, hoping to stave off a confrontation between Jason and Harry.

"Why are all of you ignoring me-

"

"Hey, Uncle Harry." Hearing another familiar voice, Harry turned in delight.

"Noah. I'm glad you are able to come. Where's your mom?"Harry asked, throwing his arm around his nephew. Noah and the other men greeted each other but the children were surprisingly quiet. All of them were looking up at Noah. Some in fear, some in curiosity. And this was split cleanly between the older boys and the younger children.

"Mom is with Elena. She was dragged away by a redhead woman but I'm not worried. Looks like she knows her,"Noah explained while looking down in apprehension. "So, um, who are the pipsqueaks?"

Leaving his cousins to carry out the introductions, Harry pulled his brother to the side. No one knew about the wedding. He had told no one about, least of all his brother. So how had he known? And why did he think he had so much liberty as to invite people to his brother's wedding?

"So are you ready to take back the company?"Xavier asked once they stopped. Another thing to add to the list of grievances. Harry was almost ready to tear his hair off. Xavier had been relentless in shifting the responsibility of the company back to Harry. At every opportunity, he would bring this up. If only he would be as relentless with running the company itself.

"Of course not. Lay in the bed you made,"Harry said derisively. "And why are you even here? I didn't mention anything about this to you."

"You didn't exactly kept quiet about this." Now that he was not getting his way, Xavier was uninterested in the conversation. Clenching his fists in a bid to control himself, Harry wondered why they always fell into the same pattern every time they talked. Harry at the mercy of his brother's attention span. "And it's not like you have anything else to do after the wedding. So why don't you take over the company?"

"What do you mean nothing? I'll have my wife to think about and the boys to prepare for. Maybe remodel the house to be more baby friendly. There are a lot of things to do-"

"Well, I have to think about my boy, too."

"He's almost an adult. I'm sure Jessica has raised him well enough that he knows what to do and where he wants to go. And now that we know he's related, I think Cameron and Jason won't let him go down the wrong path."

"I'm still his father. There are things that only I can impart."

"Like how to mistrust his mother's words?" Harry knew he was hitting a sore spot but, at this point, he was sick and tired of his brother. He still didn't believe that one of the directors, from the Board of Directors, was the one responsible for chasing Jessica away. This was the director that had been the driving force for reinstating him as the CEO. The director he had the closest relationship with. The director who was the father figure in his life. And since he couldn't do so, Jessica would not entertain him. Which was a shame.

They had gotten closer to Jessica and Noah; the both of them visiting almost everyday. And, because of that, his brother came as well. Only to be ignored by Jessica every time. The only progress he'd made was with Noah. Even so, Noah was still wary of him. So Harry wasn't surprised when Xavier grabbed his collars. Glaring at each other intensely, they separated when Noah got between them.

"Guys, can you put a can in it until after the ceremony?"Jason asked drily, pushing Noah to join Cameron and the kids. Luckily the twins had calmed down enough to be separated from him. Flashing the two of brothers a worried look, Noah complied and left them to Jason. They were still glaring at each other, making Jason sigh. "Look, I know the both of you still have some things to work out but Elena is almost done getting ready. I don't think this is the kind of atmosphere she is looking for in her wedding."

Snapping out of it at that reminder, Harry straightened his collars and, with a last glare, headed to the altar. He nodded to the staff, signaling he was ready. Looking to the door, he saw that Cameron and Noah was having their hands full corralling the children to the seats. Jason was still with Xavier at the side, speaking to him even though Xavier looked unconcerned. On the other hand, Xavier's attention was fixed on his son. Even though the chapel was small, the noises coming out of the young's mouth made it sound like twice the capacity was there. But it made for a lively wedding.

Suddenly the door opened, making his heart still. Only for it to start again when he realised it was the women coming in. April and Sharon slipped in and joined their family. At their entrance, Xavier went to his seat and Jason strode to Harry's side. Where the best man usually was.

"Cameron and I talked about it and figured that I was the best one,"Jason explained from the side of his mouth when Harry looked at him in curiosity. Then all the adults stopped talking, the wedding march having begun.

Harry, unconsciously, straightened and his heart sped up. All the noises and people faded away, his eyes focusing on the woman who had entered the doorway. Her slow march down the aisle made his mouth dry and neck sweat.

Oh god, oh god, this was real. He was really getting married. In just minutes, this was going to be official.

And he couldn't wait. This was the one thing he had wanted since the moment he had clapped eyes on her. They had traversed a long, winding, thorny path with obstacles in their way. Mostly those they had imposed on themselves. But finally they were here.

He couldn't have asked for a more beautiful bride. She was glowing. Her golden hair twisted in a soft updo, strands of hair flying over her face. Her eyes were shining and her face practically beamed. Slowly, he relaxed and impatience filled him. He wanted to stride up the aisle and be beside her. That would be much faster than waiting for her.

"Wait,"Jason whispered, his hand coming up over his arm to restrain him. Harry spared him a glare but held it in. She was coming closer. Much closer.

And then she was there. Right beside him.

Harry's mind was in a daze, everything around him shrouded in a thick layer of fog. He didn't even hear what the officiator was saying. Upon Jason's nudge, he recited his vow and he vaguely heard Elena recited hers. His hands were shaking when he had to put on her ring. He was comforted when he saw that Elena was trembling as well. The ending of the ceremony was slightly clearer and finally they were announced husband and wife.

Elation filled him, his limbs felt lighter than they have ever had. Embracing her close, he couldn't help the tears that filled his eyes. She was his. He was hers. Nothing was going to split them apart.

Now, to officially make her his. Looking down her face, he slowly lowered his head to join their lips. Before he could do so, a couple of twins wedged themselves between the couple. Forced apart, Harry managed to keep a hold of Elena's hand while looking down at Jason's children. Jason tried to step in but Harry, catching his eyes, shook his head.

The female of the pair was looking belligerently at Elena before smiling sweetly at Jason. Raising her arms, Harry couldn't help but answer her silent plea to pick up. Watching the actions of his sibling, the little boy shyly looked up at Elena. Instead of picking up, he just took hold of her hand and stuck close to her.

Looking helplessly at each other, Harry and Elena smiled before smiling.

This was a fitting start to their new life.

------@@@------

Walking down the corridor, the sun shining through the windows that lined the hallway, Elena looked over the list in her clipboard, making sure that everything was in order. She had just left the bride and bridesmaid to get ready so in the meantime, there were the decorations, cake and caterer to look after.

It was tough assisting a bride with her wedding. This was a favour but she takes her responsibility seriously. Nothing would go amiss with her there. But there were so many things to think about. Luckily she hadn't gone down this route for her own wedding or else the boys would have come out early.

Speaking of her boys, her ears caught familiar mumbles coming from the other end of the hallway. Two familiar babbles with a male voice that was dear to her heart. Her lips lifting up into a smile, she sped up, eager to meet them. Her legs practically lightened when they came into view.

"What are you guys doing here?"she asked as she lifted one boy into her arms. Kissing and sniffing his sweet baby scent, the baby giggled hysterically before settling into her embrace. Accepting the kiss on her cheek from Harry, she spared him a glance before playing with the other baby boy in his arms.

She had missed her boys so much, having to be away from them during this joyous occasion. These two hefty bundles who were a few weeks away from their sixth month on earth. Little Caleb and Little Ethan, they were the most adorable babies ever. And she had been surrounded by babies, having visited Sharon and April often after giving birth.

Being identical twins, both of them had her blonde hair but Harry's light blue eyes. When they came out, Elena had marvelled at their tiny sizes. But they packed on the weight immediately after, becoming bigger than those their age. But they were both very active, having just learned how to crawl so refused to be carried as often these days. Although they behaved similarly, their own personalities were beginning to shine. Caleb, the one in her arm, was the more boisterous twin. He loved to play and move around. If no one was there, he would not stop for anything. On the other hand, Ethan was the more curious twin. Not that Caleb wasn't curious but Ethan was the one who would be found opening something or tearing a packet. But despite the troubles the both of them got into, Elena loved them so much. Which was why she had left them with the other children while completing her tasks.

"I wanted to check on how you're doing. And they happened to be awake,"Harry said, also playing with the baby in her arms. Elena had to take out her earring before Caleb pulled it out. But her eyes were fixed on her husband in disbelief.

"Really? So was I dreaming when I recall putting them to sleep just half an hour ago?" From Harry's refusal to meet her eyes, she had her answer. But she couldn't blame him. He had been quite busy with the company and wasn't able to play with them as much the past few days. "So how's Xavier?"

"He's fine. Managed to get out of the meeting and arrived right on time. Still mad that Jessica isn't here though,"he related, bouncing Ethan in his arms. Both boys were slowly settling in for a nap. Elena was relieved. She didn't want cranky boys during the ceremony.

Looking at Harry and the circles under his eyes, she couldn't help but soften against him slightly. Xavier was still insistent on him coming back as the CEO but Harry managed to placate him by acting as an Advisor. The company was back on track and had improved as well. These didn't come without a cost.

Harry had to shuttle back and forth, from the company to the house, to take on the responsibility of a new father and Advisor.With barely enough sleep from the twins' nocturnal cries, he had to also assist his brother where possible. The one upside was that he didn't have to travel. This reduced a lot of stress from her end.

And her one issue, one worry about getting married was unsubstantiated. Harry never brought work home. He had to stay late but he was always back by the time for their bedtime. The twins were able to play with him and she believed their bond with him was stronger than with her. Some might sulk but she was glad that they had this bond with their father.

"Jessica is coming but only during the reception,"Elena told Harry while they headed back to the room designated for the children.

She kept in touch with Jessica, even after their return. The bond they had built, as partners of the Reynold brothers, kept them going. And she felt comfortable with going to Jessica about baby-rearing stuff. Jessica spoke to her as well about Noah and, sometimes, Xavier. It appeared that Xavier was still pursuing her. Which Jessica was not entirely opposed to but there was something holding her back.

Harry and Elena shared a look before shaking their heads. They had decided not to get between the two of them. Although Noah was coming to them to complain and whine about his parents often.

Even though Noah was back in college, he visited them often. It helped that his college was in California. He had become an integral part of their family. The twins viewed him as an older brother of sorts. And with Harry helping Xavier, it meant that Xavier also came to their house often, strengthening the father-son bond.

Hearing the sounds of laughter and crying behind the door, Elena was almost reluctant to let Caleb go. She wanted more time with her chubby little boy. Harry looked the same too. They stood there for a long moment before sighing.

"I have to get back to Jason. He is becoming a mess with the wedding just hours away,"Harry said softly as he dropped a kiss on Ethan's head.

"Yeah. And for someone who was remarkably calm during her hens night, I have to cross some stuff off my checklist otherwise April might blow a gasket." Sniffing Caleb's head one last time, Elena sighed.

The both of them nodded and then opened the door.

AN: Hey guys. This is the LAST CHAPTER!!! Hope you like it. Thank you so much for sticking with me even when I was taking so bleeding long to complete this. I frustrate myself sometimes. Don't worry, this isn't the end!

For more on Jessica and Xavier, please look out for their book next year, tentatively. I'll be focusing on AR for now and maybe rework AP before working on their books. And, and, and I could, maybe, include more on the offsprings. Let me know what you want to happen in the book :)

Also, if you're not aware, I have a ko-fi account. I will post some mini one shots there, like every 1-2 weeks. These will be more slice of life stuff that happens during or after the story. They will, hopefully, not affect the plot but knowing me, it could possibly affect them slightly. My brain and fingers go rogue sometimes. Just putting this disclaimer out there.

https://ko-fi.com/saiyidah

The purpose of the account is for you guys to contribute if possible for the cost of 1 coffee. No pressure, obviously, but I would appreciate if you can check it out. There's already one post there, called "Sharon and Cameron goes shopping". Let me know what you think. Here's an excerpt:

"Why is there a frozen meal here?"Sharon said, holding up the item in question. She couldn't help but cringe in disgust. Looking at the culprit, she waited for him to 'fess up.

And between you and me, the next one shot is about Jason and April and the twins going out together. Keep it to yourself, k.

Anyways, please VOTE and COMMENT if you like this ending. Follow me on Wattpad for updates. Read my other books, guys. Hope you can also support the rewriting of Accidental Roommates!!

THANKS!

P.S. if you can help me revamp my ko-fi or wattpad page, let me know. I'm so bad at this :P
