~Four Years Later~

Juliet's POV

"There we go!  Your hair is done!" The hair stylist put the last flower in my hair, "It looks beautiful!"  I looked at myself in the small mirror.  Small lavender flowers intertwined the two braids on that wrapped around my head.  It did look beautiful.  But not nearly as beautiful as Dani was in her wedding dress.

After 3 years of dating and living together, Alex finally proposed to Dani in September of last year.  We were all overjoyed when she said yes.  Our family is now officially complete.

"I think they're almost ready for you guys to head out there," Ashton, the wedding planner, informed us.  "Let's get you guys lined up."

We went over to the entrance to the aisle.  All of the groomsmen were already there.

"Hey sis," Jesse said and smiled, "Big day, huh?" Jesse, who is now 20, was accepted into Yale University on an academics scholarship.  He was going to become a video game designer.  He also still played soccer. 

"Yeah," I agreed, "Big, big, day.  I miss you a lot, by the way."

"I know," Jesse sighed, "But maybe we'll see each other more often when you get into college.  Where are you going to go?  You're almost 18, you gotta go somewhere."

"I'm not sure yet."  There were only a few more weeks of high school left and I still don't know what I'm going to do with my future.  I want it to be something with art, I know that.  Maybe I'll apply to a few art schools.

I heard the wedding music start.  Jesse and I automatically linked arms, just like in the rehearsals.  We were the first pairs to go down the aisle. 

"Okay, flower girl go."

Gerard took Finch's hand in his and they started down.  Against all odds, Finch did survive past infantry.  She also has autism and is mainly nonverbal.  But she has a smile that the light up the whole room.

"First pair, go."

Jesse and I went down the long aisle.  Joey made a funny face as I passed his pew.  I discreetly flipped him off, and then turned my attention to the front of the room.  We separated and took our appropriate places.  Finally, it was Dani's turn.  As soon as she stepped into view a huge smile stretched across Alex's face.  I've never seen him look so happy.

"Pictures!  Pictures!" The wedding photographer lined everyone up for a photo.  Alex and Dani were in the front, and somehow I got stuck next to Jack.

"How's my little girl?" Jack said and put his arm around me "God, you're getting so big!  I swear yesterday you were a little tiny blonde fetus."

"You saw me 30 minutes ago," I informed him, "And I'm almost 18.  I'm not your little girl anymore."

"You will always be my little girl," Jack told me, "And I bet you 15 bucks to stick your tongue out in the pictures."

"No dumb faces!" Alex shouted from the front "Jack, Jay, that includes you two."

"Damn," Jack pouted, "Someone sure is impatient for his post-wedding sex."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"GODAMMIT COME HUG ME YOU BASTARD!" I grinned and gave Joey a big hug.  Joey and I have still remained best friends through the years.

"Don't call me a bastard," I told him, "You're the bastard."
