CHAPTER 15 (The wedding)
***6 months later***
'Oh my god oh my god oh my god' "Tess I can't do this" Maria said nervously pacing her room. Tess looked at Maria and rolled her eyes. The poor girl had been saying that for the last half hour before calming herself down and convincing herself this was the right thing. It had been a never-ending circle of panic, calm, panic. "Ok, I need to calm down" Maria said while sitting down. "I mean I know he loves me and I love him so it's the right thing to do. Yeah it will be perfect." Maria got up and looked at herself in the mirror. "Oh god Tess I can't do this."
Tess sighed. "Look Maria stop, I can't stand this anymore. You and Michael are perfect for each other all right. No one can even come close to what you and Michael have, not even Max and Liz so stop pacing and stressing yourself out, let me do the finishing touches on your makeup and let's go get you married."
Maria looked at the girl in front of her. "Your right, but what if----"
"Maria" Tess said sternly. Maria nodded and sat down so Tess could finish. Isabel and Liz walked in at that moment.
"Everything well?" Liz asked
"Yep" Tess answered simply. Since they had gotten back Liz still hadn't been very comfortable around Tess who was now happy with Kyle. Liz just couldn't get over everything that had happened, but she was trying.
Isabel looked at Maria with tears in her eyes. "Oh my god Ria, you look beautiful." With that the bridesmaid promptly burst into tears.
Liz ran over to calm the girl. "Hormones" she muttered and the other two laughed. Isabel was 5 months pregnant and very hormonal. Alex was at times scared for his life. Even though she was nowhere near as bad as Maria when she was pregnant, Isabel could still be scary. Those two had eloped 4 months ago then when they got back Izzy told him he was going to be a father. After the initial fainting and panic he calmed down and was actually really happy. He couldn't wait to be a father.
Max and Liz are engaged but wanted to wait a year or so before marriage or kids. They just want to finish college first. Liz a scientist and Max a doctor. Isabel is at college studying to be a teacher and Alex now works in a software company.
Kyle and Tess are still in the dating phase. It took a while before Kyle actually worked up the guts to ask Tess out but when he eventually did he never looked back. Maria and Michael had a bet on how long it was going to be before Tess got pregnant. Those two were just about as bad as them when it came to sex. Tess is now a hairdresser and Kyle is still a rookie cop along with Michael of all people. When Michael had told them he wanted to be a cop they all laughed and thought it was a joke. But then they all learnt he was serious and laughed some more. Kyle managed to get Michael to surpass all the training stuff and was now a rookie cop. Both were up for deputy next month.
***At the alter***
"So, you nervous?" asked Kyle
"Nope" answered Michael.
Kyle nodded his head. "Cool"
***Back in the other room***
"All right ladies it's show time" Necado said walking into the room. He stopped at the site of Maria. "My god, your beautiful." He said
Maria blushed and hugged him. "Thankyou" She had asked him to walk her down the isle. After the shock he had said yes and actually let a tear slip. He had become the most proud 'father' that day. Liz was Maria's maid of honour and Kyle was Michael's best man, which shocked everyone, but Michael had said it was because Kyle had helped him to get Maria back.
All girls had walked out of the room and into the waiting area. When a gentle tune began Liz, Tess and Isabel all started walking down the isle. When they had reached the end the wedding march had started.
"Kyle" Michael whispered
"What" he whispered back still looking at how good Tess looked in her dress.
"I change my mind" Michael whispered still now twitching.
"Change your mind about what?" Kyle asked still whispering
"About being nervous"
Kyle shook his head and gave a small laugh. "You'll be fine man"
"But what if she bails?" Michael asked
"Shouldn't we have gone through this before the wedding started?" Kyle shook his head
"I wasn't nervous then," Michael stated in a whisper
"Dude, don't worry, she's not gonna bail. She wants to marry you as much as you want to marry her ok?"
Michael nodded his head and stood up straighter. His lost his breath when Maria came into focus.
"You ready?" Necado asked softly
Maria smiled "As ready as I'll ever be" She looked over to where Michael stood. He was beautiful. He was wearing a black tuxedo with a white shirt and his hair gelled back.
Michael managed to remember how to breathe when Kyle nudged him. "Breathe man"
Michael nodded then continued to stare at Maria as she walked down. She was wearing an off white gown that flowed to the ground. It was an off the shoulder dress that had small diamonds encrusted into it making the dress sparkle in the light. Michael couldn't think of a time when he had seen her look more beautiful.
As she reached the alter Necado kissed her cheek then shook Michael's hand and whispered "Take care of her or you're a dead man" Michael nodded and Necado went to it next to the twins and Maria's mother in the front row.
Michael took Maria's hand in his and the ceremony began. "We are gathered her today---"
30 minutes later and the ceremony was nearly over. "I now pronounce you husband and wife, you may kiss the bride."
Michael moved his hand around Maria's waist and brought her closer to him. He rested their foreheads together. "Mrs Guerin"
She smiled. "Mr Guerin" she then put her hands around his neck and pulled him in for a passionate first kiss as husband and wife. Everyone cheered while Maria's mother and Isabel had started to cry, Alex and Jim trying to calm them down. Matthew and Joshua were making 'yucky' faces at there parents display.
When they had broke apart Maria looked deeply into Michael's eyes. "I love you Michael"
Michael smiled "I love you too Maria, so much"
Maria hugged him and whispered in his ear "Michael"
"Mmmm"
"I'm pregnant"
