Chapter 6- 5 Minutes

A/N: Right so after this chapter it gets eventful and the plot develops somewhat, kind of. But anyway I hope you like this chapter. It's just really sweet and it's now hard to write stuff that's happening (in this) before the 5th season since the 5th season is SOO GOOD. But I hope you enjoy and review and stuff. Jules's thoughts are in italics, it's pretty obvious that it's her thoughts. Sam's thoughts I haven't really got to yet but I dunno, if it gets to confusing I'll change his into italics as well. Oh and I don't own anything, although I would love to own Sam. Please review

Jules was sitting at an armoire gazing at herself in the mirror. Her light eye-shadow glistened every time she moved her eyes around the room. The lights were dimmed slightly so they weren't painfully bright which ultimately gave a warm glow to the room. The clock on the wall ticked loudly, counting down the minutes and seconds left.

She was nervous. She had no reason to be. Well, maybe she did. She was getting married so nerves were to be expected but; she loved Sam; knew she wanted to spend the rest of her life with him.

Jules stood and stared at herself in the full length mirror. The white dress made her look more tanned even though it was just her natural skin tone. Natalie had done wonders to her face, which shimmered with every movement. Her hair had been curled and left to hang loosely around her shoulders.

Why am I this nervous? This is completely unnecessary. You love Sam. You know you love him. Since day one, you've loved him. There is no valid reason for you to be this nervous.

She sat back down and focused on a point on the wall started sniper breathing blocking out everything around her.

Greg poked his head round the door "Jules are you ready?"

Jules didn't answer.

"Jules?" Greg said slightly louder

"Er, what? Yes" she replied only half hearing the question

"Are you sure?" Greg was cautious. She didn't appear to be her usual confident, flying down walls, self and it scared him a little.

"Yeah I'm fine. I'm getting married" she said with a smile spreading across her face. "Let's go!"

Sam was stressing out. He was pacing back and fourth, rubbing his hands through his now incredibly untidy hair.

"Sam, I swear to God, if you don't stop pacing, I'm going to scorpio you at the alter" Ed said letting his irritation get the better of him.

"sorry, I'm just trying to keep it together. I feel like I'm going to go out there and faint or say the wrong thing, or just doing something really stupid"

"You're just nervous" Ed comforted "that's normal. I'm sure Jules is feeling exactly the same as you. You just have to push past the fear because you know that you love her and want to spend the rest of your life with her"

Sam stared at Ed like he was God

"You're right" Sam sighed "I just have to breathe and remain calm and try not to be sick"

"there you go. And for the record, I'm always right"

The minister came in and told them to go and take their places around the room.

"you're going to be fine Samo" Ed encouraged him, giving him a slight shove out the door.

Jules was standing outside the door where her fiancé had been just been moments before. Nat was fussing with her dress and veil but Jules managed to block her out, sniper style.

"Jules!" Nat's voice yanked her out of her world.

"yes?" she replied acting like she had been paying attention the whole time.

"right, Izzy's going to go first" Nat looked towards Izzy who looked bored out of her brains "because she's the most important" she continued making the 4 year old's face light up. "and then I'll go, and then Greg and Jules will follow because no one cares about them"

Jules smiled and took a deep breath "let's get this done with"

Sam was shifting his weight getting impatient. Guests were arriving and sitting and chatting and he was just standing there- waiting.

"Sam for Gods sake stop fidgeting. I meant what I said about scorpioing you at the alter" Ed whispered.

"I'm sorry. I just would like to get married and women are taking ages" Sam whispered back.

"well Samo, you don't get to decide when you actually get married, the woman does. When she's ready, you'll get married. In the mean time, you need to be patient and go and talk to the guests or something. I'll go and find out when they'll be ready" Ed walked off down the aisle to the doors at the back.

Sam slumped off to find someone who looked familiar to him.

"hi mum" Sam said.

"hi sweetheart. How're you doing? I hope you're not nervous" she asked.

Sam's eyes were skimming the room frantically looking for Ed that he missed his mother's question completely.

"Sam" his mother spoke with a firmer tone to get his attention back.

"Yes?"

"I asked how you were doing but I think you've just answered it" his mother answered matter of factly.

"I'm just apprehensive. I want this to be over and finished but I don't. I just wish the ladies would hurry up. How long does it take for one woman to put on a dress and make up?"

"Oh Sammy one day you will understand that there is a lot more to it than just putting on a dress and make up for example..."

Sam's mother was cut off by the reappearance of Ed.

"Good news" he said popping up behind Sam causing him to jump.

"Geeze Ed, I'm already nervous, do you want to give me and heart attack and leave Jules husbandless before we're even married?"

"If you don't want to know, I'll just go away again" Ed teased.

"No, what's the good news?"

"Soph said the girls should be ready in about 5 minutes" Ed smiled and patted Sam on the shoulder after seeing his expression change from nervous to fear.

Just as Ed was talking, the minister walked in, ushering people to takes their various places and seats.

Sam was starting to panic. Someone was pushing him to his spot at the alter but he was too focused on Ed's "5 minutes" to notice who. 5 minutes till he would never be single again, 5 minutes till he could never look at another girl...

Izzy skipped along the aisle, sprinkling petals along the floor, finishing with a little twirl at the end and went to stand next to her mother. Then Nat walked in, pacing her steps to the beat of the music. Someone in the audience wolf-whistled, earning themselves a very dirty look from spike. Nat went and stood opposite Ed who was standing next to a Sam whose mind was still stuck in those "5 minutes" 5 minutes till I will never be able to have sex with a blonde, brunette and... His thought was cut off by the gasp of the guests as Jules entered. As the room faded into oblivion, Sam knew what the 5 minutes meant- 5 minutes till he got to spend the rest of his life with the woman who risked her career to be with him, the woman he spent my days off with painting her house Santorini blue, the woman who tried to shoot him before he had even started the job.

All Sam could focus on was Jules.

Thank you for reading and I think you should review now. Reviews are good.
