The McCord Children

The Start

Author Note: I wrote this story because I loved what Henry said, that the children were supposed to be cute. I hope you enjoy my story.  If I screw up with terms or grammar.  I'm sorry!

~January 1989~

~HENRY~

Henry nervously fingered at his cuff links, because in less then fifteen minutes his fiancee will become his wife.  His life would change in a matter of minutes Elizabeth Faulkner will become Elizabeth Faulkner McCord.  He would have a wife to stand beside him, and love him.  His parents Patrick and June McCord were making sure their son looked his best on his wedding day. 

"Mom, how do I look?"  He looked for his mother's approval.  He wanted to look good for his future wife. 

"You look like you, Henry."  She smiled.  "You and Lizzie are gonna make beautiful grandbabies for me."  His mother smiled.

"Mom, that is not gonna happen for a bit."  Henry blushed.

"You never know." His mother winked. 

"Mother..."Henry sighed.

"Stop pressuring him, June." Patrick walked in looking very sharp.

"Well, I got to tease him some how." June smirked.

"He's gonna be late to his own wedding, if we don't get him there on time."  Patrick got his son and wife out the door.

"Son, are you ready to become a married man?"  Patrick wanted to make sure his son was doing the right thing by marrying the girl. 

"I'm sure, I fell in love with her when I saw her walk across the lawn at University of Virginia."  Henry smiled remembering her walk across the lawn that day.  "The next day, I saw her again and that time she saw me."

~Elizabeth~

Elizabeth stood in her room gazing at the mirrors that surrounded her. Her white dress flowed down and around.  While she was thinking, her mother walked up to her and kissed her on the cheek.

"You look beautiful,Lizzie."Her mother, Elaine began to cry.

"Mom, don't cry." Elizabeth told her mom. " You're gonna make me cry."

"Henry is a great man." Elaine told her daughter.

"I know." Elizabeth smiled. Looking back into the mirror

Her mother picked up the vail and kissed her daughter's forehead and placed the vail over her face.  Her father stepped into the room.  "Hey Liz, are you ready to become a McCord?"  He smiled a tearful one.  His daughter was gonna to be married.  Yes, they still had Nathan, Elizabeth's younger brother.  Elizabeth was their golden child the one they always loved to brag about.  Elizabeth was always taking the harder AP classes.  The American Government Minor and History Major.  His Liz was so smart, he always dreamed of her making it big.  Elizabeth was also the athletic child who played basketball, soccer, and track.  Their Lizzie always loved to try new things and was always the first to try something new.

"Ready, my girl?"  Russel held his hand out for Elizabeth to take.

"I'm ready."  Elizabeth took her father's hand.  These were her final steps as Elizabeth Faulkner and soon she would make new steps as Elizabeth McCord.

~Elizabeth and Henry~

Henry walked down the asile seeing many of his friends and family on one side.  He looked at the other side seeing her family and friends.  He felt love from both sides who were excited for the next chapters of their lives.  He saw his groomsmen and bridesmaids walk down paired up together then splitting to each side of the alter.  The music that everyone knew to be the brides song started.  He looked up to see everyone stand up and Lizzie's eyes who were so bright and happy as she walked down the asile.  He felt so happy. Seeing her walking towards him just like the day they first met.  He felt like he was falling in love all over again.

He took her from her father's arms and into his when they met at the alter.  Elizabeth was so beautiful in her wedding dress.  He just wanted to kiss her then and there.  Elizabeth smiled at him, and he smiled back. 

The officiant began the wedding.  The whole ceremony was beautiful, then it was time for the vows.

The officiant began, "Elizabeth Jane Faulkner, do you take Henry Christopher McCord as your lawfully wedded husband?"

Elizabeth spoke up with a smile, "I do."

"Henry Christopher McCord, Do you take Elizabeth Jane Faulkner as your lawfully wedded wife?" The officiant asked Henry.

"I do."  Henry smiled.

"In the state of Virginia, I lawfully pronounce you husband and wife!  You may kiss the bride!"  The officiant told them.

"I love you."  Henry whispered to Elizabeth before he gave her a passionate kiss.  The families and friends cheered for them. 

~Elizabeth and Henry~

~The Reception~

"May, I please welcome Mr. and Mrs. Henry McCord!"  The Band announced.  Their friends and family cheered as they ran into the reception hall with a big smile.  "Here is there first dance as Mr. and Mrs."  The Band announced, who began to play Earth Angel by the Penguins.

Henry twisted and spun Elizabeth on the dance floor.  The family and friends began to join them on the floor.  Henry's mother and Elizabeth's father took the newly weds away from each other till the song ended for the mother-son dance and father-daughter dance.  The couple walked back to the table, and ate the food that was served at their wedding with a glass of champane.  They heard clatters of the glasses wanting a kiss, which they did. Multiple Times.  The couple took a bite out of the piece of cake they were given, which was a red velvet cake with a choclate frosting.  The couple decided to sway the night away after that.  The family and friends started to leave so they decided to leave for their trip to their honey moon.

"I love you Henry, thank you for making me so happy."  Elizabeth kissed her husband.

"I love you and our future."  He kissed her back.  "I will love the future children that we will be blessed with someday."  He gave a passionate kiss before starting up the car and driving of to their location of their honeymoon.
