Still Herc's POV
I hug my baby as she stands by me and hug my baby boy and he walk over by Lafayette. "You look... wow." I tell him and he smiles. The ceremony starts and after a bit we say our vows. "I've had bad stuff happen. Sorry for ripping of of you Alex. We both have had a sucky time before we met. But now I get to grow and learn with you. Have experiences I never thought I could have. Have laughs. Have fun. And have a wonderful family. You are all I could ever wish for and all I'll ever need. I'm honored that you agreed to date me, get together with me, be engaged to me, and most of all start a family. I'm so happy to be the lucky man standing here today. I'm glad that you are the one across from me. You have taught me to show emotion, to cry and not feel like a baby, how to be myself and not care. I can never thank you enough for the impact you have made on my life." I  tell him starting to tear up. "I never believed that I would stand at an alter in front of anyone, let alone someone as kind, strong, and loving as you. You make everything better no matter what and you are someone I can always trust and depend on. You are always the best with situations even when it gets tough. You are so strong even when you face challenges. You inspire me everyday and I'm grateful to see you, and love you, and be happy with you and our wonderful family and friends. You are the greatest husband anyone could ever ask for and I promise to stay faithful and love you until the day I die. Thank you for allowing me to spend the rest of my life with you. I look at our kids and think 'I made that. I made that with the best man on the planet.' And I can't help but smile." Laf is in tears as he says this. "Do you Hercules Mulligan, take Lafayette Jefferson to be your husband to cherish and to hold, until death do you part?" "I do." I say with a smile. "Do you Lafayette Jefferson,  take Hercules Mulligan to be your husband; to cherish and to hold until death do you part?" "I do." Laf says through happy tears. "You may now kiss the groom." I kiss Laf roughly, dipping him slightly. I hold his hand and walk toward where we're going to celebrate. Alex waddles behind with Thomas's help. "Are you okay Alex? You seem like you're in a lot of pain." James asks her. "Just contractions. I'll be fine for a while." Alex says calmly. "Wait WHAT?! HOW CAN YOU BE SO CALM RIGHT NOW?!" Thomas is freaking out. "It's fine. The bag is set and the contractions are far enough apart that we're okay." Alex tells him and grabs his hand tightly. She bends over a little grabbing her stomach in pain. "Go home Lexi. You need to get ready for the baby." I tell her. "I'm fine Herc." She says sternly. "Go home." I say sternly back. "I didn't wanna worry you today though." Alex says sounding sad. "Don't stress. Have a healthy baby. We'll keep an eye on Luna for you two." I tell her. "Thomas, take her home. Let her relax." Laf tells him and he nods. They walk off and James walks over to Laf and I. "Hey lovebirds. I need some advice." He says. "What's wrong mon ami?" Laf asks. "I want to have a baby with John, but I don't know a thing. I have a surgery for fertility in a couple days and I'm terrified." He tells us. "Go with it. Kids are surprising so just go with the flow. And work together. Parenting is a team effort, so work as a team." Laf tells him and I nod. "Get ready James. Are you sure you two are ready for the challenges of being a parent? It's not you, John and Nicolas anymore. It's the baby, you, John, and Nicolas. Be ready for jealousy between kids. I had to split an M and M last week." I tell him. "I think I can handle this. I hope John can too." He says. "What about me?" John asks hugging James who jumped at least six inches. "You scared me! Don't sneak up on me like that!" James tells him and kisses his cheek. "Where's the grooms for their dance?"

"The kids Herc! LANGUAGE!"
Play my song.

We dance and he smiles at me. Score! Picked the right one! He kisses me gently and wraps his hands around my neck. "Ready to go find Alex and my brother?" Laf asks. "Yep." I say and get the kids. We hold hands as I drive to the hospital that Thomas said they are at.
