Back to the Future

Chapter 15

A/N: I'm really sorry that I can only post once this week, I'm really busy with school and extracurriculars. I might not be able to post next week at all, and if I can't, I'm really sorry. I do have a lot of ideas for the next chapter, so I might be able to squeeze in time to write. I hope you like this chapter, remember to vote and comment!!!

Sophie slowly opened her eyes, glancing around at the group of people surrounding her. Then the pain hit, it seemed worse than before. She started screaming out in pain, she was holding back the inflicting but she didn't know how long she could hold it off.

"No, no no no," Grady muttered, "Put her back under."

"No," Keefe said, then he turned to Sophie, "Numb."

Everything stopped. All the pain disappeared, and the urge to inflict was gone. She blinked slowly, coming back to reality. She sat up slowly, staring at Keefe, "No. No you didn't," she gasped.

Keefe looked down, "I had to."

"No, you didn't," Sophie sighed, "Did you go into another coma this time."

"No, I embraced the procedure, so it was enacted quickly," He clearly recognized her pained expression, "Sophie, I've had 30 years to perfect this. It was going to happen anyway in a couple of weeks."

"You should have had that time," she protested, even though she knew she didn't have much of a point. She knew that it was because she always wanted to protect people and didn't want anyone to make sacrifices for her.

Keefe sighed, "I love you, and I would do more than trigger something I've already had for years."

Sophie smiled slightly, but then her smile dropped, "Where is she? You said you didn't go into a coma meaning you were awake and had power when it ended. Power over her."

Keefe ran his hand through his hair, "She's in the hallway."

Sophie glanced over at Ro, "Can you tie up Lady Gisela please."

Ro's eyebrows raised in surprise, "Blondie, you really know your husband don't you? Hunkyhair only makes sense to me like half of the time." Ro walked out to the hall, and dragged Lady Gisela back inside. "Any of the bodyguards want to help me lock this sparkly elf lady in one of your sparkly elf prisons?"

Sandor and Grizel grabbed her and walked out. Everyone else was left staring in shock.

"Ok, seriously, what is going on with this husband and wife stuff?" Fitz asked, his face starting to turn red.

Sophie sighed, "We're married,"

"No," Fitz and Grady said at the same time.

Fitz opened his mouth to continue, but Grady cut him off, "I don't care if this is some big reveal about what has been going on with Sophie, but everyone out! I'm talking to my daughter and her 'husband' alone!" He yelled.

Sophie's eyes widened, and everyone else walked slowly out in shock. When they were finally alone, the silence was awkward and Grady was just staring at them.

"I'm sorry," She blurted out, her cheeks flushed red in embarrassment when she saw Keefe's offended face, "Ok, well... not exactly sorry."

Grady's face reddened in anger, "What do you mean by that Sophie?" Grady whipped over to look at Keefe, "And you, you aren't saying anything. You didn't ask for my permission!" His face saddened as he turned back to Sophie, "You got married without me."

"No, I didn't..." Sophie groaned, "This is why I didn't want anyone to find out."

"Find out what?"

"Um... Keefe and I are," she paused, "from the future."

Grady stared at her in shock, "What?"

"Yeah. Basically in the future, 30 years to be exact, Keefe and I are married and a couple of weeks ago we woke up back in our 16-year-old bodies. We know how to get home, but we were actually enjoying the experience and it's a break from work. Besides, everything should reset after we go back, so what's the harm?"

"Sophie–" Grady started.

"Hey wait," Keefe interrupted, "I know I'm a little slow sometimes, but if I had asked, for example, today to marry Sophie would you have said yes?" Grady stared at him, "Ok, well you got mad at me for not asking for permission, but not that she was young. I'm just curious,"

Grady looked down, and after a long moment of silence, he spoke slowly, "Jolie died before she got married. Sophie does so many dangerous things, and as much as I insist it won't happen, a small part of me doesn't think she's going to make it to the end of this war alive." Grady looked up at Sophie, "If Keefe had asked me if you could marry you, I would have said yes. I want you to have a beautiful wedding, to see you in a white dress, to give you away." Tears started running down Sophie's face, and Grady pulled her into a tight hug. "I love you so much kiddo,"

"I love you too, Dad," she sobbed into his shoulder.

After a couple minutes, Keefe said quietly, "Grady, could I talk to you for a moment, alone?"

Grady pulled away from Sophie and looked over at Keefe, "Of course,"

They got up and walked out, leaving Sophie to deal with the hoards of her family and friends that walked in as Grady and Keefe left.
