Cowboys And Angels

Chapter 24

John had no clue how chaotic it was to really plan a wedding and he was lucky that he didn't have much to do with it, Bonnie didn't want a big wedding but she wanted a ceremony, John would have rented out the whole town of Blackwater if she wanted but he was glad that she opted for something more small and personal. There would probably be only about twenty witnesses if not only a few more, she had invited her father for obvious reasons, her brother who she was certain wouldn't come but John convinced her to invite him anyway as well as her farmhands, John invited the Marshal and Deputies as well as West Dickens, he might have even invited MacDougal if he had known where the crazy scholar had went.

It had been about a month since John had proposed, he was officially divorced from Abagail and had a marriage license to Bonnie ready to sign but she asked to wait until the ceremony which John was perfectly willing to honor. He was surprised at how things were progressing, the babies were nearly rolling around and were babbling and smiling happily. They loved him, they adored him, in fact, it was hard to believe that any child would smile when they saw him, his numerous scars didn't deter them in the slightest.

"John!" Bonnie called as John cuddled two babies lazily on the sofa, nearly dozing off after a long day of work on the ranch.

"Hm?" He hummed as he propped his legs up on the coffee table. "Babies are sleeping." He stated as Bonnie walked into the room.

Abel laid against his left pec and Hazel laid against his right, both sleeping quietly as he rubbed their backs, listening to their breathing carefully. She stopped in her tracks as she saw the sight in front of her and smiled, wishing she could capture this moment forever in her mind. The sight was too adorable as John's eyes remained shut, but eventually they fluttered open, noting Bonnie staring, he arched a brow.

"I'm listening." He announced softly.

"Oh, sorry I just... This is so cute." She simpered before she approached him and sat next to him, rubbing his leg gently and grinned happily. "Do you have your suit?" She asked looking down at a notebook, filled of multiple lists.

"... No, but I have infants in my arms so you cannot harm me." He mused and winked at her, watching Bonnie roll her eyes.

"Seven days, John." She disclosed, trying to be serious no matter how hard it was.

"Damn really?" He inquired, some shock to his tone. "Didn't realize how fast the date was comin'." He muttered but looked back to Bonnie. "I promise I'll go get it in the next two or three days..." He declared and Bonnie smiled.

"Wedding rings?"

"Got'em."

"Flowers?"

"That was your job."

"Well, we got them... Don't need many anyway." Bonnie mused as she checked off things on the list. "Vows?" She questioned, watching John stiffen. "John Marston."

"Bonnie you know I don't express myself very well, do we really have to do the whole... Sappy vows stuff?" He asked, groaning softly.

"John, I'm not asking for much here it ain't a school essay." Bonnie snorted and John sighed.

"Alright, alright." He grumbled and Bonnie smiled.

"Thank you, love." Bonnie, then kissed John's lips. "Wanna help me put these little ones to bed?" She then asked, and John yawned softly and nodded. "You better not work yourself to death a week before our wedding..." She teased gently and John chuckled tiredly as he carefully handed Bonnie Abel and kept Hazel in his arms.
