Chapter 14: The Wedding
Gaston visited Maurice to inquire about the whereabouts of Jackie and her mother. Maurice informed him that Jackie, Peggy, Martin, and Martin's children had relocated to England. He mentioned that Jackie wanted to distance herself from Gaston's uncle, and Gaston understood her desire to escape. When Belle returned home, she apologized to Gaston for her previous rudeness. Gaston reassured her, saying, "You don't need to apologize. You realized we weren't meant for each other, and I'm grateful for your rejection. If it weren't for that, I would never have met Jackie." He emphasized that there were no hard feelings between them.
"Can we be friends?" Belle asked.
"Yes, I would love to be friends," Gaston replied.
Afterward, Gaston went home and began packing for his trip to England. His mother and siblings were accompanying him, and he was reluctant to leave them behind because he feared that his uncle might harm them. LeFou was also traveling to England with Gaston. He was worried that Jackie was angry with him, and he didn't blame her. Gaston felt guilty about Jackie losing their baby and regretted that he hadn't protected her from his uncle. He sincerely hoped that Jackie could eventually forgive him.
Later on, Gaston, his family, and Lefou found themselves in England. While Gaston's family and Lefou headed to the hotel to rest, Gaston set out to find Jackie. He knew her address because Maurice had informed him.
Spotting Jackie outside, Gaston called out, "Jackie!"
She rushed over to embrace him.
"I'm so happy to see you! I was worried you might be upset with me!" Jackie exclaimed.
"Are you alright?" Gaston inquired.
"I'm fine, and I'm really glad you're here," Jackie responded with a smile.
"I truly apologize for what my uncle did to you," Gaston said with a heavy heart.
"I don't hold you responsible for your uncle's actions. I care about you, Gaston, and I'm not upset with you. I just want nothing to do with your uncle!" Jackie said, frustrated.
"You don't need to worry about that. I think we should relocate to New York. Lefou and I have found jobs there. I love you, and I hope you still want to be my wife," Gaston suggested once more.
"Yes, I still want to marry you!" Jackie responded joyfully.
Peggy rushed outside when she spotted Gaston and ran to embrace him. Gaston took Jackie, Peggy, his family, and Lefou out for a meal. Jackie agreed to move to New York with Gaston, knowing that Martin would look after her mother. Gaston's family was also planning to move to New York.
Prince Adam
Prince Adam was thrilled to be human again and couldn't wait to marry Rachel. Rachel's sister Belle and his cousin Andrew were already married. Andrew wanted to move to New York and Belle agreed to move with him. Belle was happy that Jackie was also moving to New York. However, Jackie and Peggy were not coming to Prince Adam and Rachel's wedding because she did not want to come back to France. Larry and his family were not invited to the wedding. Prince Adam was angry with Larry for falsely putting Jackie in jail for something she did not do.
Andrew forgave Prince Adam, and both Andrew and Belle planned to attend the wedding. Ryan and Andrew were going to be Prince Adam's best men. Belle aspired to become a teacher, and she successfully landed a teaching job in New York. Coincidentally, she would be working at the same school as Andrew. Andrew and Belle bought a house and would be neighbors with Gaston and Jackie.
The following day was Prince Adam and Rachel's wedding day. After their marriage, they will be crowned king and queen. Henry was happy that Prince Adam changed his ways when he became king. He knew that Prince Adam was going to be a great ruler. Many people attended the wedding. After the wedding, Prince Adam and Rachel were heading to Paris for their honeymoon. The whole kingdom hoped that Rachel would return pregnant, but she wasn't ready to be a mom. There was a party after Adam and Rachel were crowned king and queen.
Jackie earned her paralegal degree and planned to work until she became pregnant. She wanted to be a full-time mom and hoped to have more children in the future. Meanwhile, Gaston and Lefou owned their own bar. Although Jackie couldn't attend King Adam and Queen Rachel's wedding, she sent them a wedding gift. King Adam hoped to become a father and was open to the idea of Rachel becoming pregnant on their honeymoon. However, he didn't want to rush her into starting a family. It's important to note that King Adam married Rachel because he loved her, not just to have children with her.
