Live For The Fear

Chapter 24

A/N~~~ I'm extremely sorry for my absence. Like I said before, I was helping taking care of grandma. Not only that, I have crappy Wifi. I know I've lost lots of readers interest in this story because of my "writing breaks" I guess you could call it. To my loyal readers, thank you for sticking with me. Enjoy~~

    Jackie's POV~

     I squeezed Jonathan's hand with excitement, it finally happened. We're married. We stopped at the end of the aisle and I flung my bouquet behind me. A scream rang out.

"I got it!!!!!!" Harley squealed hugging Joker. Everyone followed behind us to a banquet room. Joker and Bane ran off to the tables with food. Red snuck up behind us.

      "Congratulations you two," she smiled.

      "Thank you, Pamela," Jonathan replied. I said the same thing as well. Jonathan wrapped his arm around my waist and lead me to the long table where the bridesmaids and groomsmen would sit with us. Once we sat down he snuck a strand of hair behind my ear.

       "You look gorgeous, but. . . when don't you?" he smirked. My cheeks heated up. I gave him a quick peck on the lips as a thank you.

       "Toast!!" Victor called out tapping his champagne glass. Pamela stood beside him. Everyone took a seat at the tables and gave them their attention. Pamela cleared her throat before speaking.

      "All of us have spent many years together as partners and. . . sometimes we wanted to kill each other," A few chuckles filled the room," No one and nothing has been able to bring us together like this; so to Crow I thank you. Most of us know Jonathan as stern, intelligent-"

    "Don't you mean a moron?!" Edward called out. Laughter erupted and I smiled at Jonathan.

     "I mean you DID propose to me so. . .," I started. More laughter filled the room; Joker's laugh by far being the loudest. Jonathan leaned to my ear.

    "That makes me a genius, not a moron," he chuckled deeply.

     "Anyways, we never thought Jonathan as a kind, caring, man. Crow, you brought out the best in him. I couldn't imagine a more perfect couple. I wish many years of love to you both," Pam finished with a bright smile.

    "Pamela, I think you stole a chunk of my toast," Victor smiled," Jonathan, you made an excellent decision to marry Crow. You make an indestructible couple. Crow, you're a lovely woman and I hope you treat Jonathan greatly. Jonathan - and Scarecrow- make sure you treat Crow like a queen. Your child will be amazing because of the fine qualities they'll get from you both. To Jonathan and Crow!" Everyone cheered and drank a sip of their wine. Well, I had a nonalcoholic apple cider wine.

     "Shall we dance?" Jonathan asked taking my hand. "We shall," I grinned. He smiled brightly and lea us to the center of the dance floor. Clayface actually wanted to be our 'DJ' for the wedding. He started to play a song for us. *Play video* The melody was so familiar...

    Jonathan smiled at down at me as we started to dance. I've never mentioned how tall he is compared to me, he's 6"1; I'm only 5"6. "I love you, Mrs. Crane," he whispered as he pulled us closer together. Mrs. Crane. . . Now I'm Jackie Cecilia Crane. I like the sound of that.

   "I love you, too Mr. Crane," I whispered back. I started to melt into his arms as we swayed with the song. I remember the song now, it's Smile by Sixx A.M. Everyone has that one song that makes them calm and happy, this was that song for me. Now that I think about it, it makes sense that Jonathan and I would dance to this song.

   Before I knew it, the song had ended and people were clapping. More people crowded the dance floor. Jonathan weaved us through to our table. We watched everyone smiling and dancing together. I noticed Edward and Y/N make their way to the dance floor, too. Jervis grinned at us and came on over.

   "May I borrow your bride for a dance," Jervis asked.

     "I don't see why not," Jonathan replied helping me up. Jervis clapped his hands together excitedly and took my hand.

   Jervis took me into the crowd of people and began twirling me around, moving to the beat of the music. Jervis and I have become such close friends, I realized. Besides the girls of course. We both laughed at how we were dancing. He really tired me out by the end of it. I felt exhausted. Jonathan smirked at how tired I looked once I sat with him.

   I snuggled my head in the crook of his neck. His arms wrapped around me. "This is perfect," I smiled.

     "Perfect's an understatement. I've never seen anyone this way before. We seem. . .," Jonathan was at a loss of words. I don't blame him.

    "It's special then," I corrected my earlier statement.

     "It really is," Jonathan smiled.

Harley ran over to us and pulled me up. "Cake time?" she asked with puppy eyes. I looked at Jonathan. He sighed and stood up. "Food and cake time!" Harley announced. Jonathan and I's cake was marble inside with hazelnut cream; it was covered in white frosting with black and purple Victorian designs; it was topped with a skull. Perfect. Everyone gathered around. Jonathan put his hand over mine on the handle of the knife and we cut a slice. We broke it in half and linked arms.

   This wasn't going to be pretty. He partially did put some of the cake in my mouth but smeared the rest on my lips. Jonathan and them started to laugh. I smashed the piece of cake in his face erupting more laughter. I smiled and cleaned up his face. He cleaned up my face as well.

*Afterwards* Jonathan's POV~

     This was an amazing day. I sat on our bed and took off my coat waiting for Crow to change out of her dress. She came in the room shortly. I was shocked; she put on the outfit the girls had given her. "I thought I should wear it since they wanted me to," Jackie said shyly looking down at her outfit.

    "You look fine, don't worry," I smiled. Jackie smiled back at me and sat with me. She brought out the camera Cat had used to take pictures for the wedding. The pictures were sweet, funny, and great. My favorite in particular would be the picture of Jackie and I having our first dance; we were close together and smiling at each other. Soon Jackie fell asleep and I decided to rest as well. It was a long day.

    I tucked us in. My hand wandered to her stomach and I rested on my elbow. My child is there, I thought to myself. I stared down at Jackie. She was so beautiful.

   Hopefully our child takes after her. . . not me.
