Gaia's P.O.V.
Today is the day! The day I finally get to marry Blake... If I don't have a panic attack. I'm so glad I didn't turn out to be pregnant, I didn't want Blake to go through all the scare again, especially if the baby wasn't his.
"Hi honey, you ready?" my mom walks in. "Oh my, you look beautiful."
"Thank you" I smile. "I'm ready, I just need a couple of seconds to myself... to sink it all in"
"All right, I'll go check on the kids and bring them to you."
"Okay" Seconds later, someone bolts through the door... "Kellan! What the hell are you doing here?!!"

Blake's P.O.V.
"I can't do this man" I tell Taylor.
"What do you mean?! It's what you always wanted man!"
"I know, and I do but... she's never wanted to get married. I can't force her man"
"So what are you "The runaway groom?"
"No... Maybe I should talk to her."
"No way man, you love her and you're gonna marry her"
"I don't want to force her to do this"
"I'll be right back and you better be here when I do"
God! How can I do this to her? How selfish am I? I do love her and I want to marry her but she's never wanted to, she hates weddings. Maybe I should cancel it...

Gaia's P.O.V.
"Leave!" I say angry.
"No, did you find out? You never called me"
"Yes, and there's no baby. Now, go!"
"No, I can't let you marry him."
"Oh screw you! Blake has been waiting for this day for years! You are NOT going to ruin it!"
"We'll see what he has to say when I talk to him"
"No! You're not ruining this day for him. I swear to God Kellan, if you go near him..."
"What? You'll what?"
Someone knocks on the door and steps in "Hey G, we got a-- What the fuck are you doing here?" Taylor ranted.
"Leaving" I say.
"When Blake sees you--"
"No! Blake can't see him Taylor. He'll lose it and he's been waiting for this day for so long. I am not gonna let this asshole ruin it"
"About that... We have a problem."
"He got cold feet?" Kellan taunts.
"Okay! We're here!" my mom and dad step in with the kids... This cannot be happening!
"Hi mommy" Asher speaks.
"Oh! What's going on here?" my mom asks calmly.
"Hi, look at my handsome boy" I go give him a big kiss on the cheek.
"Boy you got some nerve coming in here and ruining my daughter big day!"
"Her day? She doesn't even want to marry him... All she says is 'Don't ruin his day. He's been waiting for this day for years'... Do you even love him?"
"Oh my God! Okay everybody just stop!!" everyone stares at me. "Okay, Taylor, take me to Blake. Dad, get this prick out of here and make sure he can't get back in, please try to do it discreetly. I don't want Blake finding out he was here. And mom... just tell people I'm a little late or something."
I pick Penelope and grab Asher by the hand and follow Taylor. When we get there I knock on the door and go inside with the kids.
"Taylor, I can't-- Gaia... wow" he exhales.
"Daddy!" Asher runs to him and Blake picks him up.
"Hey bud"
"I love you" I state before he can say anything, walking towards him.
"What?" he was astonished. "Babe you look beautiful... But you know it's bad luck to see the bride before the wedding, right?"
"Oh, forget about that. That's superstition, you know I don't believe in that.... You having second thoughts?"
"No, no. Never with you." he caresses my face with his right hand "But I think you are."
"Why do you think that?" I ask worried.
"Because I know you"
"Well you finally missed one." I smirk... "Everything I need... everything I want, is right here in this room... I love you... I want to marry the man of my dreams and that's you."
"Okay. You sure you wanna do this?"
"Positive... Now, can we please go get married already? I can't wait anymore." I smile.
"Me either, let's go" I give him a deep kiss before I leave.
"Yuck" Asher says covering his eyes. Blake and I both chuckle at his expression.
"All right, come on baby. Let's go get ready" I tell Asher.
"Hey" Blake stops us. "I love you"
"I love you too" we give our final kiss as boyfriend and girlfriend.
....................
All right, this is it. Everyone's ready and in place. I'm nervous as hell. I'm an introvert and don't do well in crowds, but I have to get through this.
"You ready sweetie?" my father asks as he takes my arm.
"Yes"
"I can't believe my baby girl's getting married"
"Don't worry dad. I'm not going anywhere"
As we talk the band plays "Here comes the bride" and I start to walk with my father. Everyone's eyes were on me. I try to ignore that fact by just looking at Blake, who waited for me at the altar with a smile on his face.
When I get there Blake takes a step forward to accept the hand off, as they say. He shakes my father's hand and my father kisses me on the cheek. I'm lead by Blake and I pass my bouquet to Jada, my maid of honor, and so it begins...
"Dear friends and family, we are gathered here today to witness and celebrate the union of Blake and Gaia in marriage. In the years they have been together, their love and understanding of each other has grown and matured, and now they have decided to live their lives together as husband and wife..."
"May you always need one another, not to fill an emptiness, but to help each other know your fullness. May you want one another, but not out of lack. May you embrace one another, but not encircle one another. May you succeed in all important ways with each other, and not fail in the little graces. May you have happiness, and may you find it in making one another happy. May you have love, and may you find it in loving one another."
"Now, I understand you have some vows to each other. Who would like to go first?"
"I'll go" I say..... "Throughout the years I never thought this day possible, given our past... But I guess life had other plans. It brought us back together for some reason, and even though I don't know the reason yet, I plan on finding it for the rest of our lives... I want us to be that couple that really does stay together. Where everyone is like, "Wow, they're still together?" I never want to stop falling in love with you. And I want to be able to look by my side and have you next to me anywhere that life decides to take me. I promise to respect you as a whole person with your own interests, desires, and needs, and to realize that those are sometimes different, but no less important than my own..."
"I love you... Not only for you but also for how you are as a person outside of our home and for giving me the best gifts that life can bring, which are our two little babies... I promise to keep myself open to you, to let you in to my innermost fears and feelings, secrets and dreams. I promise to grow along with you, to be willing to face change as we both change, keeping our relationship alive and exciting. And finally, I promise to love you in good times and in bad, with all I have to give and all that I am, in the only way I know how... completely and forever."
"Blake..." The pastor continues.
"Right... G, you have been my best friend, mentor, playmate, confidant and my greatest challenge. But most importantly, you are the love of my life and you make me happier than I could ever imagine and even thought possible.... I don't know if it's too cheesy to say that the feeling hit me the moment we made eye contact in class but... you have made me a better person, as our love for one another is reflected in the way I live my life and in our children. So I am truly blessed to be a part of your life, which as of today becomes our life together. You know me better than anyone else in this world and somehow still you manage to love me. You are my best friend and one true love. There is still a part of me today that cannot believe that I'm the one who gets to marry you."
"All right... those were some nice words. I see you got some people crying in here" Blake and I spot our two mothers crying of joy.
"Let's continue... Do you Blake, take Gaia to be your wife, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"
"I do"
"And do you Gaia, take Blake to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do you part?"
"I do" I chuckle biting my bottom lip and we exchange rings.
"And now, by the power vested in me by the State of California, I hereby pronounce you husband and wife... You may now kiss your bride."
Blake pulls me to him and gives me a deep kiss. Our first kiss as husband and wife.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, I present to you, for the first time, Mr. and Mrs. Griffin"
"Finally!!" someone yells as they all cheer and clap together....
