In Sickness and Secrets

Us

"One week" I said softly as i walked into Addison's office this time with my arm bandaged

"Lennon!?!" She asked grabbing my arm

"What? oh its fine its stitched up" 

"What the hell happened?!"

"Bullet, its nothing" 

"You got shot?!?!?" 

"I'm fine Addie" 

"But you- i-"

"Relax, there's a week until we become wives and I'm not letting anything get in the way of that i promise" 

"Promise?" She sniffled

I kissed her softly "I promise" 

A week later we were standing back to back in our dresses about to see each other for the first time.

"Ready?" I asked

"Yeah" she said softly as we turned around our eyes meeting each other

"oh my god, your dress is perfect" i gasped as she pulled me closer

"so is yours Love" she whispered kissing me softly 

"Okay, you walking first?" i asked

"yeah, okay. fuck this is scary but a good scary" 

"I know, I'm so shaky. but it'll be okay right? we'll get Married and be wives forever" 

"It will be okay, im sure. and if its not we'll survive together" 

"I Love you" I called after her as she started walking toward the isle 

"I love you too Lemon" She called back before she turned and walked down the isle.

Then it was my turn. i was standing at the end of the isle holding my moms arm as she started walking me down the isle toward Addison.

Addison was already crying and i was close to crying, as i reached the end of the isle my mom took my flowers and moved to the side as Addison took my hands.

"Hi" She smiled tears still falling down her cheeks

"Hi" I replied a soft smile through my tears.

"We are gathered here today to celebrate the love and commitment of Addison and Lennon as they join their lives in marriage. They have written their own vows to share with each other." the officiant spoke

 "Lennon, from the moment I met you, you brought light into my life in a way I never expected. You challenge me, ground me, and fill my heart with joy, every single day. You remind me to laugh when things get too serious and to believe in love when I'm scared. Today, I promise to stand by your side in the good times and the tough times. To love you not just for who you are, but for who we'll become together. I choose you, Lemon, now and always." Addison spoke her voice choked with emotion as she looked down at me.

"Addison, you've always been my greatest surprise. You saw me in ways no one else ever has, and you loved me even when I didn't know how to love myself. With you, I've found a home, a partner, and my best friend. I vow to cherish you, to laugh with you, and to hold you through all of life's storms. You're my compass, and I promise to love you with all that I am, forever and always." I said softly tears flowing down my cheeks

"Addison, do you take Lennon to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love, honor, and cherish, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?" the officiant asked

"I do." Addison replied looking into my eyes both of us crying and holding eachothers hands tightly 

"And Lennon, do you take Addison to be your lawfully wedded wife, to love, honor, and cherish, in sickness and in health, for as long as you both shall live?" The officiant asked me

"I do." i replied with a soft smile but my voice still full of emotion

"By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you wife and wife. You may kiss the bride!" the officiant announced

and with that Addison grabbed my hips gently and pulled me against her kissing me deeply as my arms went around her neck. 

"I love you" She sniffled putting her forehead against mine

"I love you too" i said shakily but a smile on my face.

 My mom handed me and Addison our flowers and we linked arms as we started waling down the isle together. Married officially.

i leaned against Addison as we walked both of us grinning like children being given candy. 

"you might need some help walking tomorrow" Addison husked into my ear as we walked

my face turned bright red "Addie!" i hissed

"what?" she asked innocently

"you know what" i laughed as we finally made it out the room with everyone else.

she wrapped her arms around my waist and pulled me against her my arms around her neck again, 

"I love you Lemon" She said softly kissing me

"I love you too Adds" I whispered against her lips.

she kissed me deeper as we stood there just lost in each other, the veils of our dresses around us as we held each other in the hallway the flowers still in our hands.

We gently started swaying as the kiss continued until Addison pulled back her eyes locking with mine

"i believe we have some flowers to throw and a first dance huh?" She asked

"Yeah, come on" i giggled pulling her after me and into the reception room.

everyone was already stood around the dancefloor, me and Addison turned our backs too them as we held hands and both threw the flowers at the same time. 

Addison's Auntie Caught my flowers and My cousin caught Addison's.

with that everyone moved of the dance floor and me and Addison stood in the middle holding each other tightly as New Years Day By Taylor Swift started playing.

"I knew you would pick this song" She chuckled softly as we started swaying

"yeah?"

"well its always been your favourite and we've danced to it so many times, in the kitchen, in the backyard, in your moms house when we went to visit her in Australia, in my office, in your office, in the park" she listed 

"we have haven't we" i said softly 

She nodded and kissed me gently as we continued swaying together in the middle of the dance floor, 

"I love you wife" she Whispered making me instantly start crying happy tears again

"I love you too Wife" I said back also making her cry again.
