Friends, We Are Invited Here Today ...

Wedding Day -- T minus 7 Hours

Bobby wakes up for the first time in weeks without Alex wrapped up in his arms, he misses her. Longing for his wife to be, he breathes in her scent from the night before and smiles at the memory of making love to "Detective Eames." One last time … the next time she'll be Mrs. Alexandra Goren …Bobby's feet are starting to get cold.

Alex wakes up for the first time in weeks without Bobby's arms wrapped around her, she misses him. She wore his T-shirt to bed so she would have his scent to wake up to. She smiles at the memory of making love to Bobby the night before and how every time he called her Eames, they both laughed. Today she would become Mrs. Alexandra Goren … Alex's feet are starting to get cold.

Bobby gets up and makes himself a cup of coffee, he starts to think about what Dr. Lovett had said the day before. Unresolved issues heading into a marriage … was it in his best interest to start a marriage off that way? What about Alex? She was the one marrying the whack job. Were they really happy … was she really happy? He needed to see her … he needed to call off the wedding. He couldn't let the woman that he loved so deeply, marry a whack job.

Alex goes down stairs at the Eames home to find her Father reading the paper and drinking his coffee.

"Good morning Lex … less than 7 hours to go … getting cold feet yet?"

"They're like ice, Dad."

"Honey … that man worships the ground you walk on and I've never seen you happier. Put some heavy socks on and go get ready for your wedding."

"I know Dad and I feel the same way about him but he needs to deal with some things and I think he's hiding behind his feelings for me."

"What do you mean?"

"He's happy and in love … he's suppressing the bad stuff. He was diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder after Tates but he hasn't gone to Olivet or talked to me about it."

"You're afraid it's going to come out at some inopportune time."

"I don't care when it comes out but Bobby will and it will devastate him if I get hurt in the process. I'm afraid for him Dad, not me."

"Did you talk to him about this."

"No, everything has been so good between us … I just didn't want to rock the boat."

"Lessen number one in a marriage, the boat rocks … it's the nature of the beast. Lessen number two, if there's love, the boat won't sink!"

"Thanks Dad … I think I just need to hear his voice."

"I'll leave you alone, remember … warm socks."

"Bobby? Are you up yet? Pick -up. Bobby?"

"Eames?"

"We're getting married in like 6 hours … are you getting all your "Eames" out of you?"

"Yeah, about the wedding."

"Is Lewis going to pick you up or are you driving over here yourself?"

"Alex, can you come over? I think we need to talk."

"What? I can't … we can't see each other before the wedding."

"I want to call the wedding off Eames."

"WHAT!"

"Baby, I'm not good enough for you … you need someone that … that isn't a whack job with unresolved issues … you need Mr. Perfect and I'm Mr. Damaged goods."

"Put some fucking warm socks on and get your ass over here Goren or I will hunt you down and unload my clip into you … got it!"

"Did you just threaten my life, Eames?"

"Yes … what are you going to do about it … arrest me?"

"Ah … ah … you're not really going to shoot me … are you?"

"Bobby, do you love me?"

"More than I can put into words."

"Try … what do you want engraved in your ring?"

"Mon Coeur Est A' Vous."

"What does that mean Bobby?"

"The joy of my heart is you."

"We're getting married today. My feet were cold when I woke up this morning too … but you have a way of warming up my entire body."

"Is that all this is? Cold feet?"

"You told Dr. Lovett that it wasn't in your best interest to live your life without me. I hate to bring up the Testarossa case again but you know that if you didn't make it out of that alive … It would not have been in my best interest to remain a police officer. I would have crawled into a deep dark hole Bobby … we can't be apart any longer. The joy of my heart is you."

"I'll put those socks on."
