Epilogue

Joe

Two weeks later…

The gazebo is decorated and it’s close to sunset. Our wedding was supposed to be small, but as soon as we told Chief the big news he started inviting everyone he laid eyes on. Kayla thought it was cute, and I didn’t have the heart to tell him to stop. I don’t remember a time when I’ve seen him this happy, so the more the merrier. Barbie and Shaw were a big help with making today perfect, and I know Kayla wouldn’t have gotten the day of her dreams without them.

I walk to the edge of the gazebo and take my place next to the minister as the music begins to play. There are flowers everywhere and bales of hay instead of chairs. It feels simple and perfect, just the way we wanted it, and I can’t believe I’m getting married to the love of my life.

Kayla didn’t want to wait long, and neither did I. We managed to pull this off in two weeks, which is good because I couldn’t have waited another day.

The music gets louder and everyone stands up. In the distance I see Kayla and Chief exit the back of the house and walk towards us. My heart beats louder with every step she takes, bringing her closer to me.

Her dress is strapless and an antique cream color with flowing lace. It was her mother’s and the seamstress in town was able to rush the alterations for us and wouldn’t take a dime for the work. It looks so beautiful on Kayla and I’m so happy that her mother could be here with us in this way.

When I look into Kayla’s eyes, she smiles at me so big I think my heart is going to burst in two. She’s so damn happy she’s nearly bouncing with each step and I feel the same way. This is so beautiful and special, but damn are we excited and ready to have this wedding.

I glance over at Chief and see him wiping away tears as they approach the altar. We know he’s just as happy as we are too, but we’ve all got Ben and his wife in the back of our minds. I think today is hitting him hard, but soon we’ll be celebrating and there won’t be time for tears.

Without thinking, I step forward and pull Chief into a hug. “I’ve got her now, but we’re not going anywhere,” I whisper to him, and I feel his arms come around my back.

“Thank you, son,” he says to me and I hear him breathe a sigh of relief.

I pat him on the back and then lean back to look at him and see he’s finally got a smile on his face. He turns to Kayla and kisses her on the cheek before he steps back and answers the minister’s question about giving the bride away.

Finally I have a hold of Kayla and I tighten my grip on her. “You’re not getting away ever again.”

“My feet are firmly planted next to yours.
