I was sitting in the room as I finished getting dressed. Curtis came walking in and I smiled at him. They didn't care much about tradition on the train. He was going to be walking me to the wedding. Well actually I had my choice, it was between Curtis or Mason. I thought it was better to ask Curtis to do so.

"Ready to go?" Curtis asked seeing me as I put in the earrings from his mom. He smiled and I looked at saw him and Colt standing there in their suits.

"Look at you two!" I said and they both smiled. I walked over and kissed Colts cheek which he quickly wiped it off. I looked at Curtis and he smiled down at me.

"You look beautiful." He said and I smiled. He leaned in and gently pressed his lips to mine. We had become better with being slightly intimate over the past 2 weeks but we knew what tonight was. I was apprehensive still but Curtis told me he didn't care about train protocol he would follow my pace.

"I'm ready to go when you are." I said and he smiled.

"Well I have a surprise for both of you first." Curtis said and I smiled. He interlaced his fingers with mine and we headed out of the room. We started walking back to the train car where the wedding would be held and I saw it getting all set up and I smiled at how beautiful it looked but Curtis kept walking. I became apprehensive and Curtis just looked at me.

"It's okay Esme...trust me." Curtis said and we walked the way to the car right before the last train car.

"Wait here." He said and I nodded as he knocked on the door and it opened. I saw Tanya and Tommy standing there. She got a nod from Curtis, she rushed me and hugged as Tommy rushed to Colt.

"Oh my god Esme, you look beautiful!" She said and I smiled.

"Thank you, you don't think its too much?" I asked and she shook her head.

"You look like a princess." Tommy said and I smiled at him.

"How does he know about princesses?" I asked and Tanya looked at Curtis.

"Curtis didn't tell you he brought books back for the kids?" Tanya asked and I looked at Curtis shocked.

"No, he didn't." I said.

"And I'm working on better food." Curtis said and I smiled at him.

"So are you officially Mrs. Everett now?" Tanya asked.

"No, 1 hour until then." Curtis said.

"I'm sorry you cant come." I said and Tanya shook her head.

"I got to see you now and that's all that matters." Tanya said. We all just stood around talking for a while and then Curtis sighed.

"Esme...we have to go." Curtis said and I nodded.

"I love you Tanya. I love you Tommy." I said hugging both of them and kissing their cheeks.

"We love you too." Tanya said and then looked at Curtis. "Take care of my girl and Colt." She said and I smiled and he nodded with a smile.

"Always." Curtis said and I smiled. Tanya and Tommy went back to their train car and we headed back to the window car.

"Will Wilford show up?" I asked as we got in the car?" I asked.

"No, but he has cameras and can see everything so he will most likely be watching us get married." Curtis said and I nodded. Soon Mason walked into the train car after everyone else making her presence known walking up to Curtis and I.

"I will be marrying you two. Wilford wanted to be here but cant leave the engine." Mason said and we nodded. I sat Colt with Becca in the front row as Curtis and I stood with Mason. It was a quick ceremony. We said the words, exchanged the rings, said the vows, then it was time for the kiss.

"Curtis you may now kiss your bride." Mason said and Curtis gave me a small smile. He leaned in, placing a hand on my cheek and giving me a small but passionate kiss. Once we were done everyone in attendance clapped and we smiled. Colt came running over to us and Curtis picked him up.

"Is Curtis my dad now?" Colt asked emphasizing it. I looked at Curtis and he smiled

"Yeah little man, I am. You happy?" Curtis asked and he nodded and wrapped his arms around Curtis' neck and hugged him.

After we had a small dinner at the reception it was time to have time alone and go back to our car. Colt was already with Becca and her son. Once we got in the trail car I kicked off the heels and Curtis laughed.

"Haven't been in heels for years and now my feet are dead." I said and Curtis loosened his tie. He picked me up bridal style and took me to the couch so I could relax.

"Whiskey?" Curtis asked after he set me down and went to the drink cart. I looked at him and sighed.

"Actually I'm going to go change out of the dress. Why don't you pour us some drinks and bring them into the bedroom in a few minutes?" I asked with a smirk and Curtis nodded.

"Sounds good." Curtis said and I got up grabbing up my heels and walking into the bedroom. I took the dress off once in the room and hung it up in the closet. I grabbed the lingerie I had been gifted by a seamstress on the train. I ran my fingers over the delicate material and sighed. This was my life now, my life with Curtis...my husband. I gave a small smile as I picked up the lingerie set and started getting ready. I heard a knock on the door and knew Curtis was asking if he could come in.

"Come in." I said and stood with my hands on my hips waiting for him to walk in. He came in carrying 2 glasses of whiskey which he almost dropped upon seeing me.

"Esme..." He said and I smiled at him.

"Hi husband." I said. He dropped the 2 glasses on whiskey and rushed me, crashing his lips to mine.
