"Well, by the power vested in me from God and the state of Pennsylvania. I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may now kiss each other."

Cory opened his eyes as the alarm clock went off, letting the Mp3 player attached play. He sat up and looked around the room. He ran a hand through his full, thick curls as he felt like his entire high school and college education was a dream. He slipped out of bed as he walked into the shower. He could still feel the first time he touched her hand as they shook hands when they met. Then when he and Shawn had found the purse. The prom. High school graduation to college to the moment they connected when she was left alone at the dorm after Shawn left.

He finished his shower and dried off, in a daze. "To feel so real and be a dream." Cory muttered to himself as he hung up the towel and got dressed in a pair of jeans and t-shirt. Before he went into the kitchen. His frown disappeared as he stopped in his tracks. "Well, looks who's finally awake?" A vision of beauty said aloud. 

"Daddy!" "Daddy!" Two little figures squirming in their seats cheered to him. "Amia? Alan?" Cory said as he held the little girl first before moving to take the little boy out of his high chair. He held them both as he showered them with kisses. "Daddy!" Amia laughed along with Alan. "What's wrong with you?" Amia giggled before he let the kids down and walked over to the vision of and in his dreams. "Hello,my Angel." He softly spoke as he pulled her into his arms to kiss her.

"Oooo." Amia said. "Oooo." Her brother, Alan copied. Cory broke the kiss as he caressed the left side of her face, pushing loose strands of hair away. "Cory, what's wrong?" She asked as she searched the joy in his eyes. "I thought I had dreamt the entire thing." He shook his head as he kept smoothing her hair. "I thought that us together and loving each other, and getting married was all a dream. I woke up and thought I was alone and we were a dream." He stated before his picked her up. 

"Cory Matthews! Put me down!" She laughed. "Angela Matthews, I will only put you down if you promise me something." He said as he put her down, remembering a moment like that from a long time ago. "Anything, name it baby." She said as the kids played about. "Promise me Angel, to keep reminding me of us and this." He asked of her.

Angela just smiled as she held Cory's face in her hands. "There's no need to promise that, Cory. Because you'll see it in our babies. In our family and friends. In you. In me. Besides, I trust you with my heart and you trust me with yours. And that is all the proof you need, my love." Angela said as she leaned into Cory. They held each other as Cory felt a tug on his pants' leg. They looked down to see their children smile up at them. 

"Daddy, are you and mommy going to take us to Grandpa and Grandma's?" Amia asked. Cory picked up with both his kids as wife leaned into him. He exhaled a deep happy sigh as he gave a nod. "Sure thing, baby." He told her as he placed a kiss on each of their heads before he handed Alan to Angela, "But first, let's finish eating breakfast then we'll go visit grandpa and grandma and Uncle Josh. "

"Remember, dad is coming to visit us for a couple of weeks, Cory."Angela reminded her husband. "Oh, yeah. Pop-pop is visiting too." Cory said ,sitting down next to Angela after placing the kids in their seats. He held his wife's hand as their kids both cheered,"Yay!" The family of four started to eat while they planned their day.
