I walked down the stairs to see Wheezie sitting on the counter eating a bowl of cereal.

"Morning Wheez" I said. "Have you seen Rafe?"

"He left a couple hours ago" she said.

"Oh, did he say where he was going?" I asked.

"Not a clue" she said.

I smiled walking to the fridge.

"Make breakfast?" She asked.

"Aren't you eating cereal?" I laughed.

"Your food is better" she said.

"Fine" I responded.

I took out the eggs, bacon and hash browns.

"Wasnt there sausage in here?" I asked.

"I think Rafe ate the rest" she said.

I rolled my eyes walking to the stove. Wheezie continued to sit on the counter as I cooked breakfast. I grabbed a plate putting eggs and bacon on her plate. I walked over setting it in front of her. Rafe walked in with two long bags. I looked confused as he set them on the table walking towards me.

"Let's get married" he said.

He snaked his arms around my waist.

"What?" I asked.

"Let's just do it" he said. "Your parents were already married by our age."

"Rafe I'd want them there" I said.

"It would be just us" he said.

"I want to be there!" Wheezie chimed in.

"Of course you'll be there Wheez" I said. "Let's do it."

He smiled placing his lips on mine.

"I just lost my appetite" Wheezie sighed jumping off the counter.

"I already got your dress" he said.

I watched as he grabbed one of the bags slightly unzipping it.

"You got my dress without asking my opinion?" I said.

"Sounds bad but I know you'll love it" he said.

I looked in the bag to see a long white silk dress. It had spaghetti straps and near the top draped down.

"I love it" I smiled.

"Knew you would" he said.

"How are we even going to do this?" I asked.

"Backyard. I already got a priest and our marriage license" he said.

"How the hell did you do that so fast?" I asked looking at him. "You've been planning this huh?"

"Maybe" he smiled.

I sat with Rose in the den as Rafe ran around getting everything in order.

"You should probably be getting ready soon" she said.

I nodded agreeing with her. I walked upstairs to Wheezies room as I sat doing the young girls make up. I applied a thin layer of mascara to her eyelashes before adding some blush to her cheek bones.

After doing light make up on myself, I put the dress on turning around, looking in the mirror.

"How do I look?" I asked Wheezie.

"Like an angel" she said.

I smiled sitting down on the stool as Rose began to do my hair.

"How do you like it?" She asked.

"I like it" I said.

"Good" she smiled. "Oh one last thing."

She ran out of the room and back in with a small hair pin.

"I wore it when Ward and I got married" she said.

She turned me around and put it right about the low bun.

"Thank you" I said.

She smiled nodding. I put the heels on standing up once more. I exhaled walking down the steps. Walking out to the French doors I turned to Rose.

"Want to walk me down the imaginary aisle?" I asked.

"I would love to dear" she said.

I wrapped my arm around hers holding up my dress to walk down the small steps. I couldn't hold in a smile seeing Rafe in his suit. I took another deep breath as he held his hands out for me to hold. I grabbed his hands as my heart began to race.

"I can't even put into words how beautiful you look" he said.

"Stop you're going to make me cry" I laughed.

The priest when on with his spiel as Rafe and I locked eyes.

"I do" Rafe said.

"Do you Elizabeth Carrera take Rafe Cameron as your lawfully wedded husband?" He asked.

"I do" I smiled.

"By the power vested in me you are pronounced husband and wife" he said. "Mister and Misses Cameron!"

Rafe grabbed onto my face placing a long kiss on my lips. Pulling apart Wheezie and Rose clapped.

"Holy shit" I said.

He put his forehead to mine.

"Forever" he said.

"Forever" I repeated.

As the hours passed we stood drinking champagne. Sitting on the counter in the kitchen I thought about my parents. Rafe came in handing me the bottle.

"How am I going to tell them?" I asked.

"Don't stress about it now" he said.

"They're still my parents. They deserve to know their first born is married and no longer a Carrera" I said.

"Hey we'll tell them don't worry about it right now" he said.

I looked at him as he wrapped his arms around my body.

"I love you" I said softly.

"And I love you" he said.
