A/N I don't own the songs 'Unconditionally' or 'Red' and with Red there is a video on YouTube which I am using as the main idea of it so watch that with it. Lucy is singing it but the video is playing in the background. (the link is http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zz-cbG2hrrI)
Riker's POV
Wow. I can't believe it. Today is the day. I think as I look in the mirror and fix my hair. The door opens to reveal my brothers and Ell. "Dude, you're finally getting married!" Rocky exclaims as he slaps my back. I smile weakly at him as I move my shaking hands to my tie and attempt to do it up, but my hands were shaking so much that it was impossible to do. In the end Ross ties it for me "you have nothing to worry about Riker. You are marrying an amazingly talented and kind girl" he says. Suddenly I bolt to the bathroom and empty out my stomach of that mornings breakfast. "I can't do this" I say weakly after re-brushing my teeth and trying to remove the stench of vomit from my mouth. They lead ignore my comment and lead me to the church to wait for Lucy. I spend some time greeting family members before being ushered by my mom to the alter. "I can't do this mom" I say looking into her eyes. The organ starts and she says "I know you can" before taking her place with the rest of the congregation.
Well... Here goes nothing.
Lucy's POV
Mark takes my arm and we follow Rydel, Maria and Darcy down the aisle to where Riker was standing. I'm surprisingly calm about today. I always anticipated that it would be me shitting myself and him being the calm one. That idea went out the window when I was standing next to him and seeing him looking as if we was going to pass out or be sick. I give his hand a reassuring squeeze. Our eyes meet. "I'm sorry" he says before turning and running out of the church. Everyone gasps. "Did he just do that?" Ross asks stunned. I look at him before saying "I'm going after him" and making my way down the aisle. "Lucy, you have no idea where he is" Rydel pointed out. I turn back to the congregation. "Listen. There is a man running about who should be my husband. You think I don't know where he goes if he needs to clear his head?" I say and spot Rocky's face light up. "The beach" he says. I smile at him before making my way out of the door.
Riker's POV
I can't believe it. I abandoned her at the alter. How could I stoop so low? I think as I wonder aimlessly down the beach. I stare out at the waves. She hates me. She won't want to be with me anymore. I humiliated her.
Lucy's POV
"Rike?" I ask uncertainly. He turns and takes a glance before turning on his heels and trying to run off again. I reach my hand out and grab his arm, turning him back to face me. I can see the look of sorrow and guilt on his face. We sit on the sand and I study his face. "Why'd you not tell me that you weren't ready to get married?" I ask softly. "Because... I... I guess that I... Didn't want... To tie you down..." He replies. I move closer to him and take his hand in mine. "Why would you think you are tying me down?" I ask. "Because when I am away. I don't want you to maybe meet a really nice guy and then not be able to act on it because of me" he softly says as he averts his perfect hazel eyes . "Hey, hey, hey..." I start as I gently turn his face to me and wipe away the tears that had started to fall. "I love you with all of my heart Riker Anthony Lynch. No one can change that or even compare to it. I am the mother of your child and I know that know matter where in the world you are, whether it be in America or in Australia I will never stop loving you. You are absolutely-" I am cut off by Riker smashing his lips into mine in a passionate and emotional kiss. "Incredible" I finish resting my forehead against his as his hand rest on the back of my neck. The sound of clapping starts up behind us. I turn to see Rydel, Ross, Rocky, Ellington and the rest of the congregation standing there. "So you don't hate me?" he asks. I laugh slightly. "Of course not! I just shared my vows with you Riker" I answer gently ruffling his hair causing him to bat my hand away. "Could we actually start the wedding now?" Riker asks. I look at him "I thought you didn't want to get married yet?" I say confused as he pulls me up with him a new spark of life in his body. "I think... I think I don't want to spend another moment without you being my wife" he answers. My jaw drops as I look at everyone else. He says the sweetest things! I think as the priest starts the service.
