Pulling Me Through Part Three
Again, so sorry for taking so long to update. I've been revising so much for three exams that I have in January, so it's been pretty time consuming. Anyway, I hope everyone enjoys this chapter and please review! Oh, and Merry Christmas! I hadn't been planning on doing this, but think it's a good idea. This chapter will be the last one in this part and it will also be the last chapter in the series.

Chapter Seventeen
Riley's POV
It had been a little over a month since our argument and I was absolutely stubborn at the fact that Andy and I were never going to get back together. Hell, I didn't even want to anymore. Well, that was a lie, but still. He had infuriated me. He'd pissed me off beyond belief. In what world can it be wrong to help someone who had been in hospital?
I was spending today like every other day since we argued…holed up in my room with Savannah and Zane. Once I was in there, I only needed to leave to get them food or put them down to sleep. Once I was in there. It was virtually impossible for anyone to reach me. I didn't anyone apart from my two babies.
Today was like any other day. I heard banging or some odd shouts from outside, but I didn't bother to go out and check what it was. I heard voices from downstairs happily talking about something that I didn't care about. It was only the group. They knew by now that I was never in the mood to talk about anything. So, I simply left them to it…didn't bother saying hello to them.
For an hour, the banging and the chatter continued before I heard a soft knock at the door. It cracked open an inch and Andy's head popped round. He gave me a warm smile that I didn't return before sitting on the floor next to my bed.
"Hey, Ry" He sighed. I didn't answer. Simply stared off past him and refused to make eye contact. "I want to show you something"
"I don't want to see it" I said…finally breaking the deafening silence. "Whatever it is, I don't want to fucking see it."
"You still want to marry me?" He asked as he grinned up at me. How could he find something like this amusing? Did our relationship or should I say lack of relationship not mean anything to him?
"What do you mean?" I asked as I fixed him with a stony glare.
"If you want to marry me, get your dress on and come downstairs" He laughed. "Ry, I love you. I acted like a dick and I have no idea why. All I know is that I want to see you in the white dress and I want to hear you say 'I do'" He sighed as he pressed his forehead against my own. As much as I had been saying I hated him, my heart was racing. Today was going to be the day we were going to get married. I hadn't even seen it coming.
Without letting my brain tell me otherwise, I leant forward and pressed my lips up against his own. His hand wrapped tightly around my waist, pulling me down to the floor with him. As my hand stroked his silky hair, I found myself realising that I had missed having the privilege.
"Of course I'll marry you"
Everything went like a blur as soon as I had said those words. Sammi and Sandra came bustling in with my dress and were practically stripping me off as Andy dropped a quick peck on my cheek.
"You're already wearing your dresses?" I questioned as I looked at them in confusion as they pulled my shirt over my head. Hell, they'd seen me having contractions…they could see me naked.
"Please, you and Andy are the best couple in the entire world. We trusted the fact that you were going to see yes." Sammi explained with a smirk. Scout was now in the room and was dressing Zane and Savannah. Sammi picked up the long, flowing dress that was had been my best purchase. I stepped into it as she pulled it up and zipped it up. She insisted on me being completely natural. A touch of makeup and a brush of my hair was all I needed. Within ten minutes, I was completely ready.
"Jesus, I got ready for my wedding in ten minutes" I laughed. "Must be a record."
"Good, now get your ass downstairs" Sandra ordered as she took Zane in her arms. He looked gorgeous in his little suit and Savannah looked simply stunning in her white dress. They hurried from the room, leaving me to have a moment of peace as I looked in the mirror at myself. The day I believed I would only ever get to dream of had finally arrived. All eyes were going to be on me and, for once, I was looking forward to it. With a grin, I walked downstairs and into the garden.
Andy's POV
Everyone was in their correct places. Jake was stood beside me and Zane in his arms with the rings. The seats were filled with our friends. This was without a doubt one of the best days of my entire life. Before I even had a chance to take in anything else, the music started. I kept my back turned to her, wanting to see her for the first time when she was standing by my side.
Riley's POV
It was beautiful. White seats sat behind Andy and a ridiculous amount of flowers were strewn around the garden. Scout and Sandra held the train of my dress as Sammi took her seat next to Jinxx. I hoped they would get back together. I walked up the aisle with pride on my face, loving the sight of Andy in front of me with his back turned to me.
Once I reached the top of the aisle, Andy turned to look at me, his jaw dropping as he drank me in. It felt nice to know that I had this effect on him.
"Are you ready to begin?" The priest asked. Andy and I simply nodded. "Greetings and welcome. We are gathered here today to celebrate the marriage of Andrew Dennis Biersack and Riley Jane Pitts. Andrew Dennis Biersack will you take Riley Jane Pitts to be your wife? Will you love her, comfort her, honour and protect her and forsaking all others to be faithful to her for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do" Andy declared a grin rising to his face.
"Riley Jane Pitts will you take Andrew Dennis Biersack to be your husband? Will you love him, comfort him, honour and protect him and forsaking all others to be faithful to him for as long as you both shall live?"
"I do" I repeated as I flashed Andy a smile. I couldn't believe this day was actually happening.
"Andy, repeat after me" The priest ordered. "I Andrew Dennis Biersack take you, Riley Jane Pitts"
"I Andrew Dennis Biersack take you, Riley Jane Pitts"
"To be my wife, my better half, and my best friend"

"Andy, please take Riley's ring and as you place it on the ring finger of her left hand repeat after me" Andy took the ring from Zane and held it over my finger "With this ring I thee wed"
"With this ring I thee wed"
"Promising to love and respect you"
"Promising to love and respect you"
"Sharing good times and bad"
"Sharing good times and bad"
"In sickness and in health"
"In sickness and in health"
"Till death do us part"
"Till death do us part" With those final words, he pushed the ring down my finger.
"Riley, please take Andy's ring and as you place it on the ring finger of his left hand repeat after me" He said as I took the ring from Zane and copied Andy's movements.
"With this ring I thee wed"
"With this ring I thee wed"
"Promising to love and respect you"
"Promising to love and respect you"
"Sharing good times and bad"
"Sharing good times and bad"
"In sickness and in health"

"Till death do us part"
"Till death do us part" I pushed the ring down Andy's finger before giving him a warm smile.
"By the power vested in me by the state of Ohio, I now pronounce you man and wife" The priest smiled. "You may now kiss the bride" Andy's lips were rapidly on mine as he pressed kiss after kiss to my lips. "I now present to you Mr and Mrs Biersack"
Sammi's POV
Throughout the whole ceremony, I had been thinking about how much I wanted to get back together with Jinxx. I had missed him over the time that we had split for. I had missed his kisses and his romantic words. All I wanted was to feel his warmth as I fell asleep in his arms.
"Hey, do you want to get back together?" I asked as I tried to make it sound as casual as possible.
"Are you for real" He asked as his eyes went wide with shock. Oh, how I had missed how adorable he was. Without saying anything, I pressed my lips to his and grinned.
"I love you Jinxx" He simply wrapped his arms around me and nodded back.
Andy's POV
"Thanks for marrying me" I whispered to Riley as we stood at the buffet table. She grinned at me before pressing a quick kiss to my cheek.
"Thanks for making me Mrs Biersack" She laughed as she let her head rest on my shoulder.
"I love you, Ry" I mumbled as I kissed the top of her head.
"Hmm, I love you too"
