After making sure that everything was set how he wanted it to be, Joey quickly finished setting up the tray for the breakfast that he had been cooking-all of his own, which made him feel extremely proud of himself-and went to pick up Philip from his crib. Monica and Chandler, Ross and Rachel, and Phoebe and he had all gone on vacation and had rented a house by the beach in Hawaii for a few days. Of course, they had all taken their babies, but they were all asleep. Joey's cast had been taken off just a few weeks ago and, even if he was walking with a small limp, he was almost completely back to normal. When Joey saw that Philip was wide awake and looking at him with his wide blue eyes, Joey grinned and picked him up; kissing his temple and whispering, "Hi, buddy… You ready for what we had been talking about last night…?"
In his six months of life, Philip knew Joey to be his only father. After he and Phoebe had been released from the hospital, they had gone over to live with Joey so that he could help with taking care of him. Joey's and Phoebe's relationship was only getting better throughout time and Joey was always there for Philip's most important moments. He was there for when he first smiled, when he first rolled over, sat up, laughed, and even when he first crawled just two weeks ago. The three of them had been at the park, chasing ladybugs, and Philip had gone from Joey to Phoebe. In short, the three of them were really happy together. When Philip saw daddy, because that was how he knew him by, he grinned and raised his arms for him to pick him up. When he did, he gladly accepted the pacifier and a small black velvet box that Joey gave him.
Grinning, Joey went over to the bed. Phoebe was still asleep; so everything was going to plan. When Joey sat down next to her at the edge of the bed, he sat Philip down on the bed as well and he whispered, "Happy birthday, to you…" As he kept singing, whispering, Phoebe stirred and opened her eyes, smiling. When she saw her two boys right there, she grinned and, when Philip grinned at her and started cooing, she grinned and whispered, "Hey, baby…" Turning to Joey and seeing him grinning at her, she grinned back and sat up, kissing him lightly. "And hello to you too, honey."
With his same grin, Joey kissed her back before kissing her again. "Good morning, baby… Happy birthday." Smiling, he kissed her again and smiled. Grinning, he held Philip up as if he were standing on the bed. At that, Philip giggled and waved his arms, holding the velvet box with both hands. Seeing that, Phoebe grinned at Philip at his happiness, but when she saw the box, she turned to Joey, smiling. "What's that, Joey?"
Joey kissed Philip's cheek before sitting him down on his lap and opening the box, but not turning it to Phoebe. "Pheebs… These past few months have been so, so wonderful. And, in this time, I have found out that I love you with all my heart and that you mean everything to me. You and Philip. I want you two to always be in my life, and I want our little family to grow, Pheebs. I love you, so much…" Grinning, he turned to Philip and gave him the box again, but this time the box turning towards Phoebe. Both of them grinning, they handed Phoebe the box with an engagement ring together, but Joey continued as he smiled at her; tears in his eyes, "Phoebe Buffay, will you marry me…?"
Phoebe had been listening to him with tears in her eyes, but when she saw the beautiful silver diamond ring, her eyes widened and she couldn't help but gasp. When he asked, she turned to him and, smiling, she nodded. "Yes, Joseph Francis Tribbiani, I'll marry you."
Smiling, Joey put the ring in her finger before they kissed each other, holding each other but careful of Phil. When they pulled back, Phoebe grinned at Philip and Joey and hugged them both; happy that the three of them would be together.
That nothing would ever separate him.
**
If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?
Joey waited impatiently at the altar, forcing himself to not pace back and forth. He couldn't; he had to stay calm. The wedding day had come, a year after he had proposed to Phoebe, but even if he knew that everything would be ok and that today was the happiest day in his life, Joey couldn't help but feel nervous. Nervous that maybe he was making a mistake. Sure, he loved Phoebe and Philip, but could he really make it as a father and a husband? He had barely had a serious relationship for two years, and… … With that, he refused to think about anything but the wedding.
If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?
As Ross and Chandler saw that, they chuckled under their breath and patted Joey's back in reassurance. "Everything will be fine, Joe. You love Phoebe, and she loves you. Everything is going to be ok." Joey turned to the guys and, smiling, he hugged both. "Thanks, you guys. Thanks for being my best men. I just couldn't choose."
If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call?
Before they could say anything, the wedding march started, so Joey quickly turned back to his spot. He knew that if Monica saw that he hadn't been there, she would flip even if this wasn't her wedding. She was the maid of honor, just how they had all concluded, though.
If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all?
Joey saw how the little flower girls walked in, smiling at the guests and then at Joey. Both Emma and Melissa were the flower girls, and they looked beautiful in their little dresses and with their flower crowns that they were wearing as they walked down the aisle together. Grinning, Joey gave them thumbs up to encourage them and, when they did the same, he couldn't help but chuckle. They were adorable. Behind them, the two ring bearers walked in; Ben and Christian. Even if there was a big age difference, they still looked adorable in their little tuxedos and holding the little white fluffy pillows for the rings. After them, the bridesmaids walked in; Monica with Chandler and Rachel with Ross.
Everything was perfect.
I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now
Following them, it was Phoebe. Her beautiful white wedding dress had been picked out carefully, and now that Joey saw it, his eyes widened slightly at just how beautiful she looked. As his third best man, Joey had picked Philip, but he was the one that would give Phoebe away. Now that he could walk, he was walking next to Phoebe as she held his hand and they both walked down the isle. He was a little one-and a half year old that was happy and that called him 'Daddy' whenever he saw him. His hair seemed to be exactly like Joey's, even if he didn't have all that much: black and even cut the same way as him; and his bright and happy blue eyes were just like Phoebe's. As he watched her walk down that isle, he knew that what they were doing was right. That they belonged together.
That they were perfect for each other.
We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
When Phoebe saw Joey waiting for her at the altar, looking extremely handsome in his tuxedo, she grinned happily. Aside from the day that Philip had been born, this was the happiest day of her life. She saw how Joey mouthed, 'You're so beautiful…', and she grinned; as if saying that she knew. Even if she always said that she knew she was beautiful when other people said it, when Joey said that to her, she did feel beautiful: he was the only one that would get her to blush when he said that.
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?
The minute that Phoebe and Philip made it to the altar, Joey kneeled down to Philip and grinned at him. And, taking Phoebe's hand in his, Joey picked up Phil and kissed his cheek before handing him to Chandler and Ross. Turning to Phoebe, the ceremony started, and their journey as a husband and a wife would officially begin.
But I know that this much is true
We'll make it through
When the ceremony ended and the "You may now kiss the bride" was said, Joey and Phoebe kissed happily, both holding hands. When they pulled back and they saw each other as husband and wife, they grinned happily. She was the one he was going to love and honor 'til death do them part, and he was the one that she would always be with in sickness and in health.
And I hope you are the one I share my life with
And I wish that you could be the one I die with
Neither had known much about love in relationships. Neither had known how to truly love someone until they came together. Until their lives took a turn that they wouldn't be able to change but that, at this time, they weren't regretting it.
They were happy about it.
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life
Life had played a lot of 'bad jokes' on them. They had been tested with many relationships and, in the end, their love was able to make them see that the only ones that they would be happy with would be with each other.
'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And know my heart is by your side
They were each other's lobsters: there was no better pairing than that.
I hope I love you all my life
