Chapter 1

"I hope I'm not interrupting?"

Clark turned at the sound of the voice and grinned, allowing a small sigh of relief to leave him.

"Not at all Mr. President. Although I must say that I'm relieved it's you. It explains the extra security. For a few minutes I thought it may be some less pleasant types."

"No, and for today call me David."

"Mr. President I can't-"

"Clark, this is your wedding day, I am merely honored to be a guest. Now do as I ask or do I need to make it an order?"

"Alright David, but just for today. You're still my boss."

"I think that title belongs to your wife." He replied, and Clark laughed as he nodded.

"Yes it does, and speaking of she seems to be quite paranoid. She had her room covered in lead, just so I don't take a peek before the ceremony."

The President laughed before he shook Clark's hand.

"I'll see you shortly." He said and then he excused himself, just as Casey walked in.

"So I see he made it."

"Yeah, but something's off Casey."

"Probably just pre wedding jitters Clark." He replied, but Clark shook his head.

"No, I can't explain it, but something's just off. Do me and favor and watch out for Sarah?"

"Just until I walk her down the aisle. Then that's your job."

"Believe me, I've never looked more forward to anything in my life."

"Alright Kent, enough with the lady feelings." He said before walking out of the room, and Clark just laughed. Twenty minutes later Clark found himself incapable of laughing; in fact, he was barely capable of breathing as he watched the most beautiful woman he had ever seen walk down the aisle on the arm of John Casey. Sarah seemed to be walking on air as she made her way down the aisle, wearing a white strapless dress that hugged every one her curves, the small amount of cleavage hinting at what was beneath.

"Breathe Clark." The President said from where he stood beside him, preparing to officiate the ceremony. He had been reluctant when he was first asked, but when Clark and Sarah insisted they would have no one else he had agreed. Clark exhaled, his eyes never leaving Sarah's. She smiled at the effect she was having on him before coming to a stop just short of the alter.

"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. I have had the honor of serving as President for the last three years, but never has any duty meant as much to me as the one I perform today. Who gives this woman to this man?"

"I do, her partner and friend." Casey spoke up as he placed Sarah's hand in Clark's.

"Very well, now the rings." He said, and Hobbs passed them over from where he was standing just in front of Dom, Brian, Han,Roman, and Tej. Sarah and Clark had debated over bridesmaids and groomsmen and finally had Dom, Han Brian, Roman and Tej as groomsmen with Hobbs as best man given both their histories with him, while they had Chloe, Lois, Letty, Amy, and Zondra as bridesmaids with Carina as maid of honor.

"The couple have elected to say their own vows."

Clark held the ring in his hand as he looked into Sarah's eyes, amazed at the amount of love he saw in their depths.

"Sarah, I remember the day I first saw you. I was finishing up an article for the Torch and you walked in asking for a word in private. The first thought that went through my head was that I had to be dreaming. There was no way that someone as amazing as the woman standing in front of me would ever give me the time of day. Then you had to go and make it harder by telling me that we had to date as part of our cover. It stopped being a cover that same day. When I heard you argue for us with my father, I knew right then that I'd found the one person I want to spend the rest of my life with. I give you this ring as a promise, that even though I don't know how I've earned your love, I will spend every moment of the rest of my life attempting to be worthy of it."

By the time he was done Sarah had tears in her eyes, and it took her a moment before she could speak. However, when she did it was in a voice so full of love and passion that not even the most talented of actors could imitate.

"Clark, when I first got the job as your handler I promised myself that was all it was. The first time I talked to you, all of that went out the window. You became my best friend, my true love and my whole world and-"

Sarah's words were suddenly cut off by the sound of a gunshot. Clark instantly shoved the President to the ground, covering the man's body with his own, knowing that Sarah was right beside him.

"Got your gun?" He asked, and she nodded.

"Thirty foot rule remember?"

"More like thirty inches." He replied as she pulled the gun from a holster at her thigh just as secret service agents convened on where they were.

"Well I'm going to put thirty rounds into whoever ruined my wedding." Sarah replied looking more pissed than Clark had ever seen her.

"You might want to hold off on that." Clark said and Sarah looked at him as if to ask whether or not he had lost his mind.

"Gibbs, tell me he's alive." He said, and Sarah glared at him.

"Clark if you don't tell me what the hell is going on in the next three seconds-"

"No time." He replied, grabbing her in his arms and racing off, coming to a stop a few seconds later right in front of a ticking clock.

"Clark is that-"

"A Russian suitcase nuke, originally meant to be used on subs with a thirty mile blast radius." He said as he finished flashing.

"Can you disarm it?"

"I certainly hope so. Otherwise our entire wedding party as well as half of Metropolis is going to be dead in the next three minutes. I need you to slowly pull the device out of the case." He said, and she nodded doing as he asked.

"Now slowly remove the cover." He instructed.

"Good, now comes the hard part. We have to cut the four wires at exactly the same time or this will be the shortest marriage on record. I can still-"

"No Clark, just tell me when." She said, cutting him off as she pulled the knife from it's usual place by her gun.

"On three. One, two, three." He said, firing his heat vision at the same time Sarah swung her knife.

"Clark, why can't we ever have one day to be normal?" Sarah asked, relief clear in her voice as she saw the timer stop.

"For us, this is normal Sarah." He replied, kissing her on the lips.

"You know, I think we broke tradition."

"Somehow I think people will forgive you."

"Gibbs, Ziva, good to see you." Clark said as he stood up and shook the older man's hand before embracing the woman beside him.

"Sarah Kent, meet Leroy Jethro Gibbs and Ziva David NCIS."

"Pleasure. Not to be rude, but I don't remember your names on the guest list."

"That was my bad Sarah. They weren't strictly on the guest list. They were here to provide protection."

"Protection for who Clark?"

"For the two of you Mrs. Kent. Someone put a kill order on you both."

"I cannot BELIEVE that you didn't tell me!"

"I didn't want to worry you, and they were just rumors."

"Obviously not, considering you had a Marine sniper and a former Mossad officer on standby, and now we've got an international assassin right down the hall!"

"I know Sarah, and I promise you I'll find out who did this."

Instantly Clark knew that was the wrong thing to say as he was suddenly centimeters from a very pissed off Sarah Walker Kent.

"I don't want you to find out who did this, I want you to be honest with me!"

"I was trying to protect you!"

"I don't need protecting! If you aren't honest with me about this, what else have you been hiding? Is there something with you and Ziva-"

"That's enough. We shouldn't be doing this. This is supposed to be the happiest day of our lives and we're at each others throats."

"You're right. I'm sorry, I know nothing's going on between you and Ziva. It's just with all the stress over the last minth, what with planning a wedding that didn't even get finished and now finding out there's a price on our heads...I'm not thinking straight."

"Sarah look at me. You are my wife, I don't need a piece of paper to prove that. Now let's let Casey and Jack deal with the assassin. You and I are going on our honeymoon."

"After I question him."

"Sarah, baby please. As much as I enjoy watching you work you're not likely to get anything right now."

However, Sarah Kent wasn't to be dissuaded, and Clark just sighed as he followed his wife down to Castle's interrogation room. This was not going to be pleasant.
