August 12th, 2019.

This morning Jessica woke up in her old bedroom next to her daughters.
Baby Samuel was still sleeping in his bassinet.  Since he was still so little and needed his mother throughout the night, Jessica kept him with her, and Sam stayed at the house with Landon and Theodore.

Today Jessica woke up full of excitement.  She is finally going to be Sam's wife after so many years.

Jessica took a shower, then fed the baby while she called Sam.

"Mmm.. Hello?"

Jessica giggles. "Well good morning, sleepy head!"

"Hey baby.." Sam yawns.

"Hah!  You're so sleepy!  Did you party hard last night?"

"Oh yeah!  Beers, strippers, and loud music all night long!"

Jessica laughs.

"No, actually the boys and I went to Dave and Busters and stayed until they kicked us out!  Then I ordered us a round of ice creams at Mcdonald's!  Their machine was working, I think the apocalypse is coming."

Jessica laughs. "Ooh what a wild last night as a single man!"

Sam chuckles. "It was pretty great!
  How was your evening?"

"Pretty good!  I took the girls to get their nails done.  Even Evie!"

"Aw, really?" Sam laughs.

"Mhm!  She wouldn't stop flaunting around showing everyone her fingers, and little chubby toesies!" Jessica says cutely.

"Oh my goodness!  How cute!"

"Yep!  Then we picked up some pasta, and came back home and watched Frozen.
  Over and over and over again!"

"Oh what fun!"

Jessica laughs. "It was great!
.. I do hate that movie though!"

Sam laughs. "I can't wait to marry you today."

"Me too.  I can't believe that after eighteen years.. we're finally doing what we should have done a long time ago."

"Yep.. I love you."

"I know.  I love you too."

**

Jessica stood in front of a full length mirror, just staring at herself in her dress, as her daughter's looked at her in awe.

"Wow.. Mommy, you look like a Princess!" Julia smiles.

"Essstha!  Esstha!" Evangelina tries her best to say Elsa.

"You think I look like Elsa?" Jessica giggles.

"Ya!"

"You look beautiful." Autumn smiles.

"Thank you, baby."

Dorothy snaps pictures of Jessica and her girls.

"I can't believe I'm getting married.  I get to marry my Prince!" Jessica smiles with tears in her eyes.

"Hey he's MY prince!" Julia makes a face, making her mother laugh.

**

Sam's POV.

"How are you feeling, dad?"

"Great, Landon!  I'm gonna marry Jessica!" Sam jumps.

"Don't act like a girl." Landon chuckles.

"I'm just so happy!"

"Me too.  I'm excited to give her my surprise!"

"I know she's going to love it!"

"Maybe even more than marrying you!"

Sam laughs. "Maybe so!"

"No wanna wear dis!" Theodore shouts.

"Why buddy?  Mommy is gonna love how cute you look!" Sam lifts his son.

"Mommy?" Theodore's eyes light up.

"Yeah!  Don't you want her to see you all dressed up?"

"Yeah!  Mommy gonna tink I cuuuuute!"

"Oh for sure!  You think she'll think I look cute in my new little outfit?"

"No!"

"What?!  Oh well I better just go home then, huh?"

"Uh-huh!" Theodore nods.

"You stinker!" Sam laughs and tickles his son.

**

"Are you sure you want to do this?  You know it's bad luck for the groom to see the bride before the wedding!"

"Sarah, I think Sam and I have had enough bad luck.  No more of that.  Only positive from here on out.  I want Sam to see me before anyone else out there sees me."

"Okay.  Well then, come in Mr. Shepard.  Your Queen awaits." Sarah smiles.

Sam walks in and smiles when he sees Jessica.  His breath was taken away.

"Wow."

"Do you like what you see?" Jessica giggles.

"I love it!  How are you so beautiful?"

"Blame my parents." Jessica smiles and shrugs her shoulders.

Sam laughs as he slides his hands on her waist and kisses her softly.

"How are you real?  This doesn't make sense.  You're an angel!"

"Aw, Sammy.."

"I love the way you look in this dress, baby."

"Thank you!"

"I can't wait to rip it off of you!"

Jessica laughs. "Oh Samuel!" She playfully hits his arm.
"Can you believe we made it?"

"It's crazy!  There were times it didn't seem possible.  But-"

"Here we are."

"Here we are." Sam smiles and kisses her once again.

Just then a man walks in, spoiling their moment.

"Excuse me."

"Daniel?!  What are you doing here?  Sarah, get him out of here!"

"No Jessica!  I made a mistake!  I love you!  I love you so so much, please take me back!" Danny gets on his knees and grabs Jessica's hand.

"If you don't get your damn hands off of me, and stand up right now this instant, I am going kill you with my own bare hands."

"Please.  I know now what I did was wrong.  I want to be with you and show you that I've changed!  I've realized that the only time I was ever truly happy was when I was with you."

"Oh shut up!  That's bullshit and you know it!  You don't deserve me.  You don't deserve anything!  Now get out of my life!  I never ever want to see you again, Daniel."

Danny stood up and looked Jessica in the eyes.  He knew it was over.

"I'll always love you, Boo."

Jessica doesn't speak, she just glare at him until he leaves.

"I'm so sorry, Jessica."

"Leave."

"Goodbye."

After Danny has left, Jessica takes a deep breath.

"I'm sorry he came here.. I don't even know how he knew when to come."

"No, it's not your fault, don't apologize!  He's gone.  Everything's okay."

"Yeah." Jessica smiles softly.
Do you have your pin?" She asks.

"Right here.  Do you have yours?"

"On my bouquet." Jessica shows him.

"Perfect." Sam smiles.

"They should be here right now." Jessica looks at Sam in tears.

The two each had a small pin with their angel's picture.  Jessica had a gorgeous picture of Simba, and Sam had a picture of Everly.

"They are here, Jess."

Jessica looked at Sam and nodded her head.  Sam then wrapped his arms around her and held her tight as Jessica cuddled into his chest.

**

"I now pronounce you, Man and Wife.  Sam.. you may kiss your bride."

Sam and Jessica lock eyes with smiles on their faces.

"Get over here, you!" Sam grabs Jessica and kisses her passionately.

"Hey dat ma dada!" Evangeline pouts and places her hands firmly on her waist.

"Shh!  Calm down, you crazy girl!" Julia laughs.
"They're in Looove!  They'll probably make a baby later!"

"NO!  No mora!" Evangeline crosses her arms, and narrows her brows at her parents.

**

Sam and Jessica were announced as husband and wife, and then made their way to the center of the dance floor for their first dance.

"Kiss the tears right off your face
Won't get scared, that's the old, old, old me
I'll be there, time and place
Lay it on me, all you're hold, hold, holding

Time, time only heals if we work through it now
And I promise we'll figure this outI will take your pain
And put it on my heart
I won't hesitate
Just tell me where to start
I thank the oceans for giving me you
You saved me once and now I'll save you too
I won't hesitate for you

Don't you ever say goodbye
Cross my heart, and you can keep, keep, keep mine
If I could only read your mind
Then I could map out all the ways to make it rightTime, time only heals if we work through it now

I, I promise we'll figure this out"

"Jessica.. there is no one I'd rather ride this crazy ass ride with than you, Button."

"Ditto, Sammy Wammy." Jessica giggles looking up to her husband.

"I love you, my wife."

"I love you too, hubby!"

Sam smiles and kisses her nose.

"I could just eat this little nose, it's so cute."

"You're so silly!" Jessica giggles cutely.

"I will take your pain

And put it on my heart

I won't hesitate
Just tell me where to start
I thank the oceans for giving me you
You saved me once and now I'll save you too
I won't hesitate for youPull me close and I'll hold you tight
Don't be scared 'cause I'm on your side
Know there's nothing I wouldn't do for you
Pull me close and I'll hold you tight
Don't be scared 'cause I'm on your side
Know there's nothing I wouldn't do for you"

Later that evening.

George Strait's song, "You Look So Good in Love", came on, and a memory came back to Sam.

"You wanna know something?" He asks.

"Yesh!"

"Well.. This was right before we found out Megan was sick.. we were at a wedding, and it was the evening I figured out you were pregnant with Theo..
  This song came on and.. you and.. That Man danced.  I was so jealous!  The words.. they just got to me.  I sat there and tried my hardest to fight back tears because I wanted more than anything for you to just love me!
The way he sings.. You look so good in love.. it was true, Jess.. though you're always gorgeous, that night your smile shinned so bright.  Maybe it was the happiness of the baby.. I don't know.  But it was special."

"Well I must be Stunning right now.. because now I am truly in love.  I've only ever been in love with you, Sammy.  Only you."

Sam smiles and takes her hand. "Wanna dance?"

"I thought you'd never ask me!" Jessica giggles.

"Oh, how you sparkle
And oh, how you shine

That flush on your cheeks is more than the wine
And he must do something that I didn't do
Whatever he's doing
It looks good on youYou look so good in love

You want him
That's easy to see
You look so good in love
And I wish you still wanted me"

Just then, the kids run towards them.  Dorothy walks over and hands the baby to Jessica.

"Oh hi, guys!  Hey little guy, are you hungry?  Do you need a diapy?

  Well actually.. you look pretty relaxed!" Jessica smiles and kisses Samuel.

"You look so cute in your little suit, Sam Sam.  All of my boys look so handsome all dressed up!"

"Tanks!" Theodore blushes.

Jessica laughs.

"My mommy is sooooo CUTE!"

"Aw thank you, Teddy!  You're such a sweetheart!"

"I know!"

They all laugh, and that is when Landon decided to give Jessica her gift.

"Jessie.. Here you go."

"Oh what is this, honey?" Jessica takes the paper.

"Read it!"

"Okay!" Jessica giggles, and reads the paper.

"What?  Oh my gosh!" Jessica immediately tears up.

Sam smiles and takes the baby.

"Oh honey!" Jessica kneels down.

"Will you be my mommy, Jessie?"

"Yes!  Oh yes, baby boy!"

"Good!  Here's a pen.  Sign it!"

Jessica laughs and turns Julia around to use her back as a place to right on.
"Hey!  Hey!  Watch the dress!  Watch. The. DRESS!" She shouts.

"Jewels!" Sam laughs.

"Sorry, Juju!  Here, Landon!  I'm all yours!" Jessica smiles and holds her arms out.

"YAY!  I love you, mommy!"

"I love you too, baby!" Jessica kisses his cheek.

"Wow.. look at this.  Look at what we have, Sammy.  Look what we did!" Jessica smiles up to her husband.

"We're a great team.  I love you, Button."

"I love you, Sammy!"

The two share a deep passionate kiss.
