A Different Type of Family

Becoming One

The beach was warm and nice and the waves were beautiful. Stef Foster was in a nice white suit as she waited in front with  Brandon next to her. Lena with her dad and Ty and both men in her life were going to give her away. For Ty it would be easy, but not for Stuart. Lena was his baby girl since the day they found out the gender. Lena smiled as the music started.

Guests smiled as they saw Lena walk down the aisle in her wedding dress all lovely and happy. Dana cried as she saw her baby girl walk down the aisle escorted by her husband and oldest grandson. She held 18 month old Ty on her lap as he slept. It was well passed his nap and he was sound asleep.

On the opposite aisle, Sharon held Callie, while Frank had Caleb and Mike had Callum. The 17 month old triplets were asleep as well. Lena came down the aisle as one of Jade Owens three flower petals on the floor. She was the daughter of Jaden and Janelle Owens and fellow Offices at Stef's station. Behind Jade was Bradley as the ring bearer carrying a pillow with two rings.

Both kids reached the front as they stood near Brandon. Stef winked at Bradley as he winked back. Soon, Lena reached the front as both Stuart and Ty gave Lena to Stef, who smiled.

Stuart went back to to sit next to his wife. The justice of the peace, Sam Wilton smiled at the two women before him and took a minute. "Who give Lena Adams away?" he asked.

Stuart and Dana got up. "Her mama and I do," Stuart added in a choke as he wiped his tears. They sat back down. "Me too," added as everyone laughed. Stef and Lena smiled at their oldest child and nodded.

Sam Wilton began. "Do you Stef take Lena Adams to be your lawfully wedded wife. In sickness and in health, love and pain, good and bad?" he asked.

"I do," Stef added. "I do. I do."

"Do you Lena, take Stef Foster to be your lawfully wedded wife. In sickness and in health, love and pain, good or bad?" he asked.

"I do. Absolutely I do," Lena added. Sam Wilton smiled.

"Can I have the rings?" he asked. Bradley came over and presented the pillow to his moms and they each took a ring. Stef took it first and eyed Lena.

"When I first meet you I was floored and it was love at first sight," Stef added. "I want to grow old with you you my love and raise our babies together," Stef added as she slipped the ring on Lena's finger and kissed her hand.

"When I first meet you I felt a jolt in my system and it was love at first sight for me as well. I want to grow old as well and raise our kids and see our babies grow up with kids of their own," Lena added as she slipped the ring on Stef's finger as well.

Sam Wilton wiped his tears. "You may nice kiss each other," he added as they dd that.

"Everyone I would like to officially introduce Mrs. and Mrs. Stephanie and Lena Adams Foster," he added. Every one stood up and cheered for the happy couple.

At the reception hall, Stef and Lena were all smiles as they danced with each other and their kids. Dana and Sharon were tired and took the triplets and AJ to the hotel room that was connected with the hall. 

"They are all sleeping," Sharon added. "Callie hung on the longest though."

"I'd say. Was Stef that way as well?" Dana asked.

"Yes and far worse," Sharon added. "Callie is mild."

Dana nodded in a yawn and went to get ready for bed. Sharon went to bed as well.

In the next room, Mike, Frank, Nate and Stuart put the twins and Ty to bed. 

"They are out," Mike added as the other three men nodded and smiled. Mike was about to leave.
