A few weeks later......
~
Max and Lucas lay asleep in the bed, Max's arms being wrapped around him while their legs are entangled, the balcony slide door being open and the windows as well from the fresh warm breeze of the night, them deciding to leave the door and windows open this morning, the thin curtains blowing lightly, Lucas being laid on his back with one of his arms being around Max, her head being laid on his chest.
Max slowly begins to open her eyes, Lucas being seen already smiling down at her, him softly rubbing her arm and his other hand stroking her cheek. The past weeks really they have been in the bed, she is thankful with comes Summer break it is also a break for Lucas as well. Of course he still has to come into work every now and again for the two and a half month period for staff meetings but other than that it is off days for him which he needs.
And where comes them being in the bed most of the time comes them using the bed for...
Pleasurable things.
Max smiles softly with her eyes closed when Lucas gives her a soft peck on her lips, her eyes remaining closed with a smile being on her face, just savoring in the sweet soft kiss. She loves the rough moments, always making her skin hot and body completely excited and that feelings of butterflies frantically flying around in her stomach, but sometimes she wants the slow moments, the soft moments and the sweet moments.
Which is exactly what he has been giving to her for the past few weeks.
And she has been loving it.
"I would say good morning but it isn't." Max says, going to plant soft kisses on the side of his neck.
Lucas closes his eyes with a content smile. "We have to start getting up for the wedding in a little bit probably."
Max turns over a little to look at the clock. "It's only five, we have about thirty minutes."
Lucas smiles more at her, both of them going to put their lips against each others, kissing each other softly and tenderly. Lucas brings her soft body closer to him, her body that just fits perfectly against his. He lays back and closes his eyes when her hand runs down his chest while kissing him, going to kiss the front and sides of his neck. He understands now more than ever why she loves when he kisses her neck, because he absolutely loves it. How soft she goes about it, how her lips curve into a smile.
Her smell and fragrance is completely addicting, to where his nose nuzzles in the crook of her neck to breathe in her smell. Max smiles down at him, one of her hands going through his hair. "I love you."
"I love you more." Lucas smiles.
Max rubs her nose against his while their eyes close. "Let's just make out until we can't anymore, since I still need to walk tonight."
"No complaints here." Lucas says before going to put his lips on hers.
"IT'S ABOUT THAT TIME!"
Lucas and Max jump, Amnerlee bursting through the door, them making sure that they are covered. "Angel—"
"It's time to get up and get ready for the wedding! We're getting ready for the wedding! The wedding! The wedding! The wedding!" Amberlee cheers while skipping over to the cradle, going to pick up Annalise and hold her up in the air, Annalise already giggling while kicking her legs. "Are you ready for the wedding?"
"Gagagagagahagaha!"
"See she is!" Amberlee smiles while holding Annalise to her side. "Say Sissy, sissy."
"Si...gagagaga!"
Amberlee laughs. "Okay new job sis, you make sure our parents get up and start to get dressed I'll make sure that everyone else is awake okay!" She says, going to put Annalise on top of Lucas.
"We're awake Ambie." Max says.
"I said getting up and getting dressed not sitting in bed. Anna make me proud!" She points at her while walking back.
"Babababababababababababa!"
"I'll take that as a okay." Amberlee says before leaving out of the room.
Yes today does make the day of Cassandra and Jonathan's wedding that they are having, and everyone is super excited. Amir and Amberlee planned the whole thing and they both came up with the most amazing idea that Jonathan and Cassandra liked.
"I'm going to go on and give Anna to the kids while we get ready." Max says.
"Okay." Lucas responds, both of them going to get up.
"What about this bra?" Eleven questions while turning to face Mike.
"El I know you might think I am going to sound generic saying this but you literally look good in every bra that you wear." Mike answers.
"Well which one?" She questions again.
"Well let me see the white one again—"
"Hey you guys better be up....." Amberlee trails off and her eyes widening when she sees Eleven and Mike standing next to each other with barely anything on. "Okay...mental note....always knock." She says before closing the door.
Mike and Eleven shrugging simply in response.
"Uncle Dustin Auntie Suzie!" Amberlee calls out while knocking heavily on their closed door.
"Yes Ambie we're already up and getting ready!"
"Cool!" Amberlee responds, her going over to the stairs.
"Hey Ambie!" Amir calls out when she gets down the stairs, him being in his tuxedo. "Everyone awake?"
"Yep they are." Amberlee responds. "Okay so Cassandra's uncle Doug will be here around six and we gave him the code to the gate so keep an eye out for him."
"Got it." Amir nods.
"I am going to get dressed then help Cassandra with her hair, you just make sure everything is running smoothly and people are getting ready especially William, he likes to wait until the last minute."
"Got it."
"Okay perfect." Amberlee says. "And fix your hair."
"Hey!" Amir throws his hands up while she runs to her room, him just rolling his eyes.
~
"Man I look very good." Steve says while looking at himself in the mirror, him being in black suit pants and black polished shoes with a white buttoned up collared fancy suit shirt and a black suit jacket on with his black tie, all of the boys being dressed alike with the same thing Steve has on.
"Dad you're supposed to be helping Uncle Lucas with the food." Amir says.
"Oh yeah that's right!" Steve says. "Sorry, I got interrupted by my amazing looks."
Amir rolls his eyes, him going over to the door when he hears the bell ring, him opening it and him smiling. "Hello! You must be Doug."
"And you are Amir Harrington!" Doug says with a smile while shaking his head. "Man last time I saw you I'm pretty sure you were like seven."
"Probably." Amir smiles. "Well welcome."
"Thank you." Doug says while looking around. "Man this mansion looks amazing, truly the dream house."
"Yeah it is it's amazing. Here I'll show you to where your niece is." Amir says.
"Thank you." Doug says.
Amberlee gets done curling the last piece of Cassandra's hair, going to put a blue flower on each side of her head, Cassandra being dressed in a long ocean blue sparkly long dress that is strapless, her curly blonde hair touching her shoulders and her makeup being on her face. "There you go."
Cassandra smiles brightly while looking at herself. "Wow." She says.
"Cinderella doesn't even come close to your space." Amberlee smiles.
Cassandra laughs. "Ambie I want to thank you and Amir greatly for this, honestly the idea you came with is absolutely genius, I love it."
Amberlee smiles. "Yeah me too."
Amberlee and Cassandra look towards the door when a knock is heard on it, it opening and Amir and Doug being seen.
"There you go." Amir says.
"Thank you." Doug says, him looking at Cassandra in awe. "Sweetheart look at you."
"Uncle!" Cassandra smiles brightly while she goes to hug him tightly. "I'm so glad you're here."
"I wouldn't miss it." Doug smiles.
"I tried calling Dad and texting him." Cassandra says. "He wouldn't answer per usual but...even if I'm glad it's you walking me down the aisle."
Doug smiles brightly at her. "Your Dad is missing out on something special, but this is your special day sweetheart, no one can ruin that."
Cassandra smiles brightly at him while nodding. "Ambie this is my Uncle Doug."
"I've heard great things." Amberlee says while shaking Doug's hand.
"Me too Amberlee. Man I remember you and Amir both when all of you visited Hawaii years back, pretty sure you were only five or six."
"Yeah I probably was." Amberlee smiles.
"Well I will go on and give you both the room again to get ready." Doug says.
"Thank you Uncle." Cassandra says, Doug smiling before he goes to leave out of the room.
"Wow you weren't lying." Amberlee says. "Your Dad is a asshole."
"Yep he is." Cassandra says while looking at herself. "But it doesn't matter, Uncle is right today is a special day and if he chooses not to show up on that day then that's him. This is the happiest I have been in a long time, very long time."
Amberlee nods her head in understanding. "I really am happy you and Uncle Jonathan found each other, I can tell you bring out the best and him and vise versa, he brings out the best in you, and you are very honest and trustworthy too." Amberlee admits. "You know I remember you from that day my parents and family got SWATTED, how you stayed with us until grandma Karen came, and you didn't know us, shows what kind of person you are."
Cassandra smiles more at Amberlee. "That means a lot coming from you especially, the girl made of stone."
Amberlee laughs. "I know sometimes I put you through the ringer but...you're genuine, and I'm glad my Uncle has that, and you deserve it too."
Cassandra smiles even more at her, going to hug her. "Just one hug, I know you hate sentimental stuff."
"Yep." Amberlee laughs, Cassandra laughing before they both pull away.
"But thank you, that means a lot." Cassandra says.
"You're welcome." Amberlee responds. "Well it is getting close to that time, are you ready?"
Cassandra smiles more, her knowing now more than ever despite her nervousness, she is ready to marry Jonathan.
"More than ready."

The slow beautiful music begins to start, the venue being set up in the front yard of the house, the evening sky being evident as the sun begins to set, giving off a beautiful orange and yellow color in the sky, the warm breeze being in the air as well. The girls all sit to the right wearing white bridesmaids dresses, specifically Joyce Max and Eleven wearing the same dresses they wore to their wedding since it was instructed, the other girls wearing white dresses as well while the boys all sit to the left wearing tuxedos with white shirts to match the girls.
Summer is first to make her way down the aisle, her throwing blue pedals down the aisle while she smiles, Steve and Nancy smiling brightly at the scene while they take pictures, her making it to the end before she sits down.
Jonathan begins to walk down the aisle, him wearing a tuxedo as well with a ocean blue shirt to match Cassandra, his hair being gelled back, Eleven putting her hands over her mouth while a few tears leave her, Karen and Sue rubbing her back while they smile, Jonathan going to stand at the left side of the circular flower holder, his hands being clasped in front of him.
Amberlee and Amir are next to make their way down the aisle, Amberlee being in a purple long dress and Amir in his tuxedo, her arm being around his while they both walk down the aisle. All of them smile in union while watching them, Amir and Amberlee looking at each other with smiles before they make it to the stage, going to stand in front of the circular flower holder.
Joyce is next to make her way down the aisle holding a bouquet of flowers, her being the maid of honor for the wedding. Jonathan smiles at her, her smiling back and not helping but wave at him making them laugh, Jonathan waving back at her, her going to stand at the right side at the front.
Jonathan smiles wider when he sees Cassandra and Doug, her being in a beautiful ocean blue sparkly dress, Doug being in his tuxedo while walking her down the aisle. Everyone goes to stand up while looking at them, everyone smiling brightly and Cassandra not being able to hold in her smile as she walks down the aisle, Doug walking her to the front and her going to stand in front of Jonathan, Doug going to stand behind Jonathan since he is best man.
Jonathan smiles at her lovingly while taking her hands, her smiling softly at him while holding his hands.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today, here at the amazing front yard of the beautiful dream house mansion made by yours truly Auntie Max Sinclair." Amir starts causing laughs. "To witness something beautiful, something we never thought would happen because Uncle Jonathan is the most conservative closed off person and we thought he would never find love." He says making everyone laugh out, Jonathan just rolling his eyes.
"Now you all might be confused, ladies especially since I told you all to wear the dresses that you all did on your wedding day." Amberlee says. "And if you all didn't wear a dress I told you all to get one, very firmly. Now why did I ask of that? Because we are here to celebrate the great marriage that is about to happen with Uncle Jonathan and Cassandra but to also celebrate just marriage, good marriage, a true marriage and happy marriage."
"You know I always hear at school about how people's parents are so unhappy with each other and their marriage is about to implode or parents divorces left and right." Amir says. "I don't see that with any of you, all of you have a true and real marriage, a marriage where you all work together in unity and being a team."
"And of course yeah hard times are going to be there." Amberlee adds in. "But you all never let that bring you all down, and I know for a absolute fact you all won't let those hard times bring you all down either." She motions towards Jonathan and Cassandra.
"So let's give a round of applause for all of you, but especially for the two here that is about to say vows and join their lives together in marriage." Amir says, everyone beginning to clap while smiling.
"The time has come for the vows." Amberlee says when the claps stop. "Ladies first."
Cassandra nods before taking a deep breath. "Jonathan I've always admired you, when I always saw you on the TV. The number one thing I liked about is how you never changed yourself after fame, you were still the same person. You were still nice even when I came up very awkwardly to ask you to take my graduation pictures..." she starts making him chuckle. "...and just being a kind and respectful man."
"I've shared things with you that I never thought I would share with anyone else and that is because I trust and love you, something...I honestly never thought I would have." Cassandra admits. "But now that I have it I do promise to always cherish it and always love you, be there for you during your down times and even up times, I promise to always be here, I promise we will still get up at midnight and get our midnight munchies...." She says causing laughs. "And just act crazy together, because it's okay to be goofy and awkward at the same time, I've learned that with you, to always just be myself, and I love you for just being you and bringing out the best version of myself, I love you and I vow to always will."
"Awwwww." Amir says making both of them look at him and Amberlee slap his shoulder. "Ow! I mean yes Uncle Jonathan your turn now, amazing beautiful vows."
Jonathan looks back at Cassandra. "Cassandra when I first laid my eyes on you I was already captivated. I loved how awkward and shy you were, but still loved despite that how you took a chance to ask me to take your pictures and even you give me a tour of Hawaii." He starts. "When that whole SWAT thing happened and when I saw how you were there for us through it all despite you being in danger because of it and how you stayed with the kids and did everything that you could to help I knew from that point on you were genuine too, and I took a chance."
"And I'm glad that I took that chance because it turned into something as amazing as this." He says with a smile. "To bring out the best in me and I vow to always be there for you and never abandon you, I vow to always love you and have our crazy times, me trying to balance bean cans on my forehead and us making so much noise until Max sends that little glare she always does at us...." He says causing laughs and for Max to roll her eyes with a smile. "To just always be myself too, because that's okay. I love you Cassandra, and I always will."
Cassandra smiles while tears of joy fall down her eyes. "I love you too."
Amberlee and Amir smile while looking at each other. "Cassandra Brown, do you take Jonathan Byers to love, to cherish, to hold tight to and to never let go, to be your partner, your husband, your teammate, your soulmate, for as long as you may live?" Amberlee questions.
"I do." Cassandra answers.
"Jonathan Byers, do you take Cassandra Brown to love, to cherish, to hold tight and to never let go, to be your partner, your wife, your teammate, your soulmate, for as long as you may live?" Amir questions.
"I do." Jonathan answers.
"The time as come for ring exchanges." Amberlee says, Summer making her way up and holding out the holder that holds the rings, Amberlee taking the rings out and going to give it to them both. "These rings are a symbol of love, of the strong bond not out of ownership, but out of being a team."
"Repeat after me." Amir says. "This symbols my great love and promise of love and sincerity. I will keep to my vows, hold to my promises, and cherish my mate. Not out of ownership, but out of partnership."
"This symbols my great love and promise of love and sincerity. I will keep to my vows, hold to my promises, and cherish my mate. Not out of ownership, but out of partnership." Both Jonathan and Cassandra say in union while exchanging the rings.
"Well...by the power invested in us by the internet that gave us these cards that gave us the power to marry...." Amberlee says while her and Amir hold up the cards.
"We now pronounce you husband and wife, Mister and Misses Byers." Amir smiles.
"Uncle, you may kiss your bride but please not in a gross manner like my parents." Amberlee smiles, everyone laughing while Max and Lucas roll their eyes.
Jonathan brings her in for a kiss, everyone standing up and cheering loudly, Amir and Amberlee looking at each other with bright smiles.
All of them ready to start celebrating.
~
Amberlee smiles while she looks at everyone talk together while eating, all of the tables and chairs and the food being outside, the moon already being high up in the sky, the music playing while the kids all dance and laugh, most of everyone eating. Amberlee stands where the circular flower holder is, her just smiling at the scene.
"Thinking about when you will be married?"
Amberlee looks over at Jonathan when he goes to stand besides her. "Me? Marriage?" Amberlee laughs before shaking her head. "Yeah I don't think so."
"You never know." Jonathan shrugs. "Thank you, you and Amir both."
"Yeah of course." Amberlee nods.
"I actually wanted to tell you something, which I'm pretty sure everyone already kind of knows but they are waiting until I say something." Jonathan says while turning to face her.
Amberlee turns her body to face him as well. "Okay?"
"Of course me and Cassandra are going to have our honeymoon at Hawaii and we will he coming back in a months time but I will be moving there with her." Jonathan reveals. "My photography business would skyrocket there, since people are constantly taking pictures there and since people always want massages at Hawaii too her business would be better there, both of ours would."
Amberlee nods her head. "Wow, I mean yeah you're right."
Jonathan smiles softly at her. "Doesn't mean I'm going to be gone forever."
"No I know it's just...I'm going to miss our talks and when we went out to the hill." Amberlee says.
"We can still have those talks Ambie, that won't change." Jonathan says. "As for the hill we can always do that whenever I visit, our vise versa when you all come to visit Hawaii, which is going to happen more frequently since I will be moving there."
Amberlee smiles more. "Yeah, it truly is the dream state." She nods. "But that's completely okay Uncle, not going to lie I'm going to miss you."
"I'll only be a call away." Jonathan says.
Amberlee smiles at him, going to hug him tightly, Jonathan smiling while he hugs her back. "I love you Uncle."
"I love you too Ambie." Jonathan says back.
"Attention attention ladies and...I forgot the other part." Amir says making everyone look at him. "The time has come for the dances between all brides and grooms, the current bride and groom and the use to be ones on their special day. Let's consider tonight at night of reminisce, a night of nostalgia, a night to remember the special day that was shared but please remember that children are still here!" He says causing laughs. "We're reliving the weddings not the honeymoons!" He points at everyone.
Everyone goes to begin dancing, Summer Sarah and William still playing around while Karen and Claudia talk with each other, Erica and Holly being seen taking pictures with each other along with Gerald being Holly's boyfriend now, Robin and Vicki dancing and playing with the kids.
Nancy smiles while Steve twirls her around, their foreheads being connected. "This is nice."
Steve smiles at her. "You look beautiful Nance."
"Thank you." Nancy says back. "Are you mad? That we never had a reception?"
Steve shrugs a little. "The way we did things I liked, just as long as I am married to the woman I love, the mother of my children, the girl I was in love with since High School, the girl that changed my life, that made me the person I am today."
Nancy smiles more while looking at him, going to lean her head on his chest. "And you changed mine."
Steve smiles more, both of them softly swaying to the music.
"You know even though we went country science fair nineteen fifties theme this is nice too." Suzie says.
"Yeah it is." Dustin smiles while they both dance. "You look stunning."
"And you look handsome as ever." Suzie smiles at him.
Both of them smile at each other as they dance with each other.
"It seems like forever ago since we got married." Joyce says.
"Hey we're not that old." Hopper says back.
Joyce laughs. "No I didn't mean it like that." She says back. "I'm so glad he found love Hop, he deserves it so much."
Hopper smiles while he looks at Jonathan, him and Cassandra talking and laughing with each other while they dance. "Yes he does."
"Hey you remember when you were walking down the aisle and you almost tripped because you wore those shoes your Dad told you not to wear?" Charles questions with a smile.
"Hey we don't talk about that." Sue rolls her eyes. "It was a graceful trip no one even noticed, except you of course."
"I notice everything dear." Charles says back. "But you still looked amazing then, just like you look amazing now."
Sue smiles at him. "So do you." She says back.
Eleven smiles when Mike twirls her around and brings her back to him, both of them smiling at each other. "I love this so much."
"Me too." Mike answers, both of them slowly swaying to the music. "This day will never go away from my mind El, it will always be like it was yesterday, because it was that special. From the first day El that I saw you, in that big yellow shirt, you soaked from the rain...I knew you were the one."
Eleven smiles brightly at him, her arms going around his neck and her laying her head on his chest while they both dance.
Lucas and Max's foreheads are both together while they softly sway to the music, both of their eyes being closed. One of Max's arms are around his neck while the other one is on his chest, Lucas hand going on top of hers on his chest and going to place it right in the middle of his chest, right where she can feel his heartbeat while his other hand is on her back.
It is like they are back at their wedding day, back at the mansion that Henry lent out for them, back at the front of the large ballroom while they are in their own world.
"You feel that?" Lucas softly whispers, Max nodding her head. "You and our daughters make this possible, right here."
Max smiles softly while her eyes are still closed. "I'm nothing without you all." She says softly. "Lucas?"
"Hmm?"
Max opens her eyes while leaning her forehead more against him, him opening his eyes and looking at her. "You're my hero, my guardian Angel, my savior, my rock, my strength, my all, my heart, my soul my mind my everything." She says. "My life started with you, as soon as you came up to me asking me to go trick or treating with you while wearing proton packs."
Lucas laughs in response. "My life started with you too."
Max smiles while closing her eyes and rubbing her nose against his, her leaning in closer to him and giving him a soft slow lingering kiss on his lips, both of them pulling away after a minute, both of them still continuing to dance slowly to the music.
Amberlee stands with a smile while she looks at everyone dance, her holding Annalise to her side while Annalise plays with her necklace.
"Bubu ba." Annalise gets out while playing with Amnerlee's necklace.
Amberlee smiles while looking down at her necklace, it being the purple necklace reading 'Angel' that Lucas got for her. "Dad got this when I was six, don't worry he is going to give you your own too you're just to young and you are probably going to end up putting it in your mouth to much." Amberlee says. "But you will have one just like me and mom have one."
Amir goes to stand besides Amberlee, his hands being in his pockets. "You know Ambie, we're a pretty good team."
Amberlee looks over at him. "You seem better."
"So do you." He comments. "You never really said what happened with you."
"Maybe I'll tell you but...tonight is about them." Amberlee looks back at them.
"Yeah." Amir nods.
"But we do make a good team Amir." Amberlee looks over at him. "We do, and I can't wait for our teamwork when we built our business up, because I know with you I can trust you, even though you are a hedge hooker."
"Still don't know what that name means but that means a lot, I can't wait to build our business up too." Amir mentions in response.
Both of them look back at everyone dancing, Amir and Amberlee more so looking at their own parents dance, seeing how deeply in love they are with each other just by looking at them. That is what lets them know that their love is powerful and it is genuine.
"You think we will ever find love like our parents?" Amir looks over at her.
Amberlee scoffs while shaking her head. "You might, really that is not interesting to me." She admits. "But...at least if we ever do find love, if we ever do get married...we'll know how it is suppose to be, how it is suppose to look like."
"Yeah exactly." Amir nods, him smiling at Amberlee. "We did good Ambie."
Amberlee smiles while looking at the scene. "Yeah, yeah we did."
Jonathan and Cassandra smile while they dance together. "Don't you just feel, lighter, brighter?"
"Happier?" Cassandra finishes for him. "All of it."
Jonathan smiles, him going to cradle her face softly making her close her eyes, him going to give her a soft kiss on her lips, her eyes remaining closed after they pull away, her having a smile on her face.
"Can I admit something?" She questions.
Jonathan smiles more, feeling like he is getting a sense of Deja vu when they were at the airport after the whole swatting situation. "Of course you can."
"You always make my knees weak when you kiss me." She lightly laughs.
"Yeah? Like this?"
Cassandra sighs softly when he kisses her once again, them pulling away after a minute. "Mhm."
Jonathan laughs small, both of them continuing to sway softly to the music.
All of them married dance together, all of them being in their own worlds while the music plays, all of them being back at their special day, all of them looking back at the day when they poured out their feelings....
And dedicated their feelings in willing and beautiful matrimony.
