Two Months Later

*Dixie's POV*

"Today's the day I become Mrs Casey!" I yelled like a mad woman, running around our apartment. Matt merely chuckled, Katniss in his arms as we left for 51. 

----------

I was holding a bunch of daisies in my hand, my favorite flower. Mills was carrying out the wedding. Kelly, Matt's best man, stood beside Mills. 

Gabby and Sylvie were standing on the other side of Mills, Gabby carrying Katniss in her arms. The rest of 51 were in their dress blues. 

"Guys." I gasped. The front of 51 were decorated with fairy lights and flowers. It was beautiful. Absolutely gorgeous. 

I was wearing normal uniform, except that I had slapped on some makeup and put my hair into a dutch braid, inserting some dried flowers in it.

"You're gorgeous." Matt whispered as he took my hands into his as we stood in front of Mills. Sylvie was holding my bouquet, standing beside Gabby, letting Katniss grab at the petals. She was almost four months old already. 

Mills started, "We are gathered today to celebrate the matrimony of our two friends. Captain Matthew Casey and Dixie Cohen. We shall proceed to the vows. Do you, Matthew Casey, take Dixie Cohen as your lawfully wedded wife, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

"I do." Matt replied with absolute confidence.

" Do you, Dixie Cohen take Matthew Casey as your lawfully wedded husband, to have and to hold, from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do you part?"

"I do." I replied. 

"You may kiss the bride." Mills said to Matt who whisked me off my feet. I jumped, wrapping my legs around his waist, leaning down as Matt kissed me. I heard Gabby squeal and when I looked up, she was covering Katniss's eyes.

When we finally broke apart, 51 erupted into cheers. I jumped down and Otis picked me up onto his shoulders and we paraded around the firehouse. 

I giggled, trying to get down. When Otis finally put me down, Gabby handed Katniss to me and Matt hugged me while I was carrying Katniss. We were finally married. 

We were married.

We had Katniss.

I was so happy.

It was all I ever wished for.

I couldn't wish for more.
