Time jump: 1849 (sorry it's necessary) >>>>>>>>>>>>>
Two years since Matthieu was born. Today was Gavroche's wedding. He was marrying Evangeline. "So big boy, now we need to get ready for Gav's wedding.", Courfeyrac said, "Emilia, are you ready soon? Or do you need help getting inside the dress?"
I stepped out of the bathroom in my beautiful gown, which Courfeyrac's mother made. I didn't own any gowns anymore but Evangeline's and Gav's wedding was a special occasion. "Oh wow, I am speechless.", he said.

Then I heard someone knock on the door. I walked down the stairs and opened the door. "Emilia, I need your help. Would you give me to Gavroche?", she asked. I had tears in my eyes. I was supposed to give her away. "I'd love to. You're beautiful, Evangeline. Gavroche is one lucky man."
"So is your husband.", she said, "thank you so much Emilia. I'll see you later." And then she was gone.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Two hours passed and the remaining Amis showed up to the church. "Emilia, I was so worried." She was close to crying. "Ev, what's wrong?" "I am scared that Gavroche won't show up.", she said.
"Oh no, Gavroche is on his way here. He's with one of his friends, visiting our friends graves.", Enjolras said. She calmed down. "Merci.", I mouthed to Enjolras.

{Evangeline's wedding dress}
The ceremony was beautiful. Courfeyrac was proud of his little boy. He remembered how he had taken care of him all those years ago and raised him to the man he has become now. The blonde little boy was now an adult.
He had tears running down his cheeks during the ceremony. Matthieu clapped after they were declared husband and wife. The happy couple left the church and the rest left too. Then we made our way to the Café where the reception was being held. Madame had prepared everything.
We entered the Café and Evangeline ran over to me. She gave me a tight hug. "Thank you so much.", she said with a big smile. Gavroche ran over to Courfeyrac and hugged him tightly. "Thank you so much for everything you weirdo.", he said with a big grin. Weirdo was his nickname for Courf back in the days of 1832.
"We're here for you. Whenever you need us.", Courfeyrac said. "Merci, both of you. You guys are the best adoptive parents a street urchin like me could've asked for. And I wanna thank you too, little brother.", he said.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
It was night and we were in bed. Matthieu has been asleep ever since we left the reception. "Emilia, are you awake?", he whispered. I turned around to face him. "What is it?", I asked, stroking through his messy curls. "I wanna get married. You know, just like Gav and Ev had.", he said.
"We are married. We eloped because we were scared of dying. Also do you really wanna get married without Joly or Grantaire or even Feuilly?", I asked. "You guys, we're here too, you know?", Feuilly said. "You guys better not get married without us.", Joly added.
"See? I told you that letting them elope was the best idea we had.", Grantaire added. Then they disappeared again. "I don't need a wedding gown and I don't need an expensive ring. If it means, having you for the rest of my life, then I'd choose you all over again.", I said.
"How do you do this?", he whispered before kissing me. "I know you for almost 23 years." "I feel like I've known you all my life.", he said, interrupting me. "How long do you think it's going to take until Gav and Ev have a child on their own?", I asked.
"They should wait. Just like we did. Gav is only 28 and Ev only 26. They have all their lives ahead of them.", he said. "Just like us?"
"Just like us."
(A/n: ahhh Gav is married. I hope you enjoy this chapter ♡)
