Cops, Bombs & Firemen - A Blue Bloods story

Epilogue: Happily Ever After

One year later:

The year flew by and soon it was the night of Jamie and Grace's rehearsal dinner. They had a wonderful dinner with their families and the members of the wedding party, and then Jamie and Grace decided to take a drive before he was to drop her off at Kate's house for the night. That was the only tradition that her family had insisted on, he was not to see her until the wedding. They'd stopped near Central Park and had taken the time to enjoy each other before cuddling in the back seat.

"You seem to be holding up pretty well for someone who is about to meet close to a hundred firefighters tomorrow." Grace smiled as she cuddled into his chest as he wrapped a blanket around them.

"Yeah because meeting most of the firefighters that work with both your dad and brother won't be intimidating at all." he said sarcastically rubbing her back.

"I promise they will be nice, many of them have known me since I was a kid, and some of them know that they will have to deal with my dad. Most of them don't want to deal with the FDNY commissioner on a good day, so pissing off his daughter on her wedding day to the PC's son, yea not gonna happen." she chuckled.

"That's good, I know some of them gave you a hard time about seeing me in the first place." Jamie kissed her on the forehead.

"Ha, it's not like your fellow cops were thrilled about you being with me either. Like Eddie for instance. At least we get along now." she smirked.

"This is true. I'm just glad that she came around and that she's cool with me accepting that promotion. Even if it does mean me getting transferred to another precinct." he agreed.

"Well, she was right about one thing. You do look good in Sergeant stripes." she said kissing his chest.

"Oh really, well you look good in everything...and nothing." he grinned as he kissed down her throat.

"Well Sergeant Reagan, you will have plenty of time to continue this tomorrow after our wedding. I'll be the one in the white dress." she grinned as she reached up and grabbed her clothes.

"I guess I need to get you to Kate's. Although, not gonna lie, I'm gonna have a hard time sleeping without you next to me tonight." he said as he began to get dressed.

"Awe, me too baby. I don't sleep well without you either. But just think, by this time tomorrow night, I will officially be your wife and we will be on our way to St. Barths." she said as she got dressed herself.

"I can't wait." Jamie smiled, and then he dropped her off at Kate's before going to stay with his dad and Grandpa.

The following day everyone gathered at St. Patrick's Cathedral for the wedding. Jamie and Grace were having a church wedding and then the reception at a banquet hall near Central Park. It was exactly what Grace's parents had always wanted for their only daughter.

Grace was in the room with her bridal party getting ready. Her dress was a simple mermaid style dress with long lace sleeves and buttons down the back. She was looking forward to seeing the look on Jamie's face when he saw her in it. She chose to wear her hair in a half-ponytail and a lace veil fastened to it with a comb. Her makeup was done and she looked stunning.

"You look beautiful." Erin smiled as she hugged her soon to be sister-in-law.

"Uncle Jamie is going to be speechless when he sees you." Nikki agreed.

"You look perfect." Kate said as she dabbed her eyes with a tissue.

Kara and Rachel nodded their heads in agreement as her mom gave her a hug.

"Now you ladies do not start crying. We'll have to start over on your makeup if you do. You look wonderful Honey." Laura smiled.

"Thanks Mom. Now for the true test. What do you think kids?" Grace said as she turned and looked at Julia and her nieces, Haley and Rebecca.

"You look like a princess Aunt Grace." Haley said.

"Yeah like Cinderella." Julia agreed.

"Thanks babies." Grace smiled.

All too soon her brother was poking his head in and telling them it was time to start. The wedding flew by and in what felt like minutes, Jamie and Grace were heading off to meet their guests at the reception. After the toasts were given and the meal was devoured, the couple danced the night away with their friends and family. Before long the couple was heading to the airport and were off for a week long honeymoon. When they got to their hotel, Grace kept remembering what Julia had said as the couple had said their goodbyes.

"Uncle Jamie was right, he is Aunt Grace's prince."

"Mmm, whatcha thinking about?" Jamie asked as he handed her a glass of champagne.

"Nothing, I love you my prince." Grace said as she took a sip and gave him a kiss.

"I love you more my princess." he smiled as he picked her up and carried her into the bedroom to show her just how much he loved her.
