   Lafayette stood in the mirror and adjusted his tie for the thousandth time, a habit he had picked up when he got nervous. Although he really didn't have anything to fear. He was just going to a groomsman for Aaron, but he wanted to do a good job. Then Thomas' figure appeared in the mirror beside him.

"Hey Gilly, are you almost ready to go?" Thomas asked.

"Oui..." Laf sighed, adjusting his tie one last time.

   Then the grooms men amd groom entered the great hall where the wedding was happening and took their places. Lafayette scanned the small audience for his fiance's face, only to find he was nowhere to be seen. He gave Alex and John a questioning look, but they just smiled and shrugged.

Then the doors opened.

    First to walk down the isle was Peggy, smiling as she made her way down the isle. Then came Eliza, with a soft, mild mannered grin. Then came Maria as the maid of honour.

     After that came Angelica holding  Aiden, Maria's seven month old son, snuggly in her arms as his tiny fists grabbed the sides of the pillow that the wedding rings sat on.

   The doors opened once again to reveal Hercules, a basket of flower petals in his hand and a smirk on his face. He made his way down the isle, throwing petals as he went, covering the floor with ovals of pink.

Then the music began to play.

   The music played and the doors opened to reveal Theo in all her glory. Her white gown decorated with bits of lace and little bit of glitter. It was one of Herclues favorite creations. Theo linked arms with her father and they continued down isle.

    Herclues stood beside Lafayette on the groom's side, to spite being the "flower girl" and they watched Theo make her way down the isle. When they reached the end, she kissed her fathers cheek and went up to stand beside Aaron.

   Together the two stood face to face, and the priest began his speal. The crowds watched with anticipation as the couples presented their vows, and put on their rings. Then it was time for the final words.

" Aaron, do you take Miss Theodosia Prevost to be your lawfully wedded wife?"

"I do." Burr said, a singular tear of joy slid down his face.

"And do you, Theodosia, take Aaron Burr to be your lawfully wedded husband."

"I do." Theo said breathlessly.

"Than by the power vested in me I now pronounce you husband and wife." The preacher finished. " You may kiss the bride."

    The crowd watch as the couple came together for the long awaited kiss. The crowds cheered and Lafayette felt Herclues reach out and take his hand.

      After speeches and a delicious cake provided by Laf. The crowds gathered for the dance. First dance was Theo and her father. Then it was Theo's turn to dance with her husband.

    As they watched, Lafayette smiled and rested his head on Hercs shoulder. Herclues responded by taking Laf's hand pressing a kiss to the engagement ring on his finger.

"I can't wait for our wedding." Laf whispered.

"Me either babe." Herclues whispered. "Want to dance?"

"Definitely."

*,*,*,*,*,*,*,

"Actually guys, We have a big announcement." Aaron shouted, shooting a nervous glance a Theo's father. "We are going to have a baby."

    The crowd filled with cheers and Aaron received an approving nod from Theo's father. Then Theo picked up her bouquet, and the girls gathered around. However, Theo had already choosen somebody to catch it.
She turned around to face her back toward the crowd and threw it as far as she could.

   The bouquet flew across the air a plopped into the lap of one freckled faced boy. John stared surprised at bouquet of pink roses that fell from the sky. He turned to look at Alex, who was down on one knee.

Proposing.

"Cami mon cheri," Lafayette said sweetly "eat your breakfast."

"Ok Papa, is daddy coming home for dinner tonight?" Cami said sweetly.

" I don't know mon cheri, perhaps he will."
