"We love you too." Reece said, tears filling his eyes.

Autumn pulled back and let everyone else congratulate the couple. Carly came up to them, and in her nature, she screamed.

"My work parents are getting married!!!!!" Carly screamed, hugging Reece tight.
"Yes, yes we are." Reece said, winking at Marjorie.

Marjorie blushed before looking down at her hand, looking at the ring. She clutched her chest, feeling all the feelings, it all hitting her at once. She started crying again, trying her best to hide it. Reece noticed her crying, letting go of Carly and rushing to her side.

"Gorgeous what's wrong?" Reece asked, rubbing her back.
"I'm sorry, it's nothing." Marjorie sniffled, letting out a nervous chuckle.
"It's not nothing, dear. You're crying. It's obviously something." Reece said, kissing her head.

Marjorie looked up at him, grabbing his hand and dragging him outside. Reece was very confused, but he went along with it.

"It's just my emotions are everywhere. Like I keep getting in my own head." Marjorie said, pacing back and forth.
"Oh gorgeous." Reece said, sighing. "What's wrong?"
"I am just so emotional and I don't know why!" Marjorie exclaimed. "I just feel like I'm not the best for you."
"Marjorie." Reece said, getting her attention. "You are the best thing that has ever happened to me. You are the one thing I've managed to get right in this lifetime. I'm so deeply in love with you. Don't you see that?" Reece asked, cupping her cheeks.
"Yes." Marjorie nodded.
"Don't ever doubt my love for you. It has no bounds. I love you. I love you. I love you. I'll spend the rest of my life showing you that." Reece said, gently kissing her lips.
"You'll still love me, even when you hate me?" Marjorie said, obviously still doubting herself.
"Even when I hate you? Marjorie Frances, I could never hate you. Never ever." Reece said, kissing her once more.

Marjorie laughed, causing Reece to instantly smile. He wrapped his arms around her, holding her tight. He pulled away, wiping her tears, doing his best not to further smudge her makeup. He placed one more kiss on her lips before taking her hand and leading her inside.

"Marjorie, you alright?" Siobhan asked, meeting them at the door.

Marjorie looked up at Reece. He nodded, kissing her hand and walking away. Marjorie sighed as she silently led Siobhan to a table, sitting across from her.

"Today has been emotional." Marjorie laughed, holding up her ring finger. "This week has been emotional. It's just..... I never thought I would be in this position. With the love of my life, with my chosen family..... truly enjoying life."
"Understandable." Siobhan said, giving Marjorie a reassuring smile. "I've felt like that my entire life. When I started dating Roger, and he started.... um..... doing the things he did, I felt stuck. I felt like I was in the same cycle my mother was, sticking with an abusive man and ultimately meeting my death. You guys taking me in and helping me find myself and my true love, changed everything. I cannot thank you guys enough for that."

Marjorie smiled at Siobhan, getting up and pulling the blonde in for a hug. Siobhan reluctantly accepted it, wrapping her arms tightly around her.

"We're all proud of you, Siobhan. You broke the cycle." Marjorie said, pulling back.

Watching from a short distance, was Clodagh and Vivian. Clodagh was holding a wiggly Quinn, Vivian doing her best not to laugh.

"Marjorie is so good at comforting people, it's insane." Vivian said, clearing her throat.
"No kidding." Clodagh said, giving up and placing Quinn on the floor.

Quinn speed-crawled over to Autumn, who immediately picked her up and cuddled her. Vivian laughed, seeing the redhead cradling two babies.

"We've all come so far in these past few months. You and Sorscha started home reno, I started dating Bon and moved in with her, Autumn and Winter had their rainbow baby, Mia and Char are together, and now Marjorie and Reece are getting married. Lady Luck is on our side, that's for sure." Vivian said, leaning against the wall.

"Amen." Clodagh nodded, watching Reece closely.

"I'm so lucky." Reece said, blushing at the thought of Marjorie.
"Being in a room with you two makes me sick." Mia said, rolling her eyes.
"Amelia." Charlotte yelled, raising an eyebrow.
"Sorry baby." Mia said, pouting. "Also, I found something in my drawer a couple weeks ago."
"The thing we used when we had throuples?" Reece asked, crossing his arms. "Sickening you still have that."
"Jesus Christ. No. Unfortunately. Anywhooo......" Mia trailed off, reaching in her purse. "This."

Mia pulled out a navy blue camera, which had space stickers all over it. She placed it in Reeces hand, anxious to see his reaction.

"Is this the camera I had when I was a teen?" Reece asked, his eyes lighting up.
"Sort of....? The actual one is in my drawer, but I forgot that Roger smashed the living hell out of the inside. So I looked it up online, found the same camera, and purchased it. I still had some of the stickers in that drawer. I know it's not exactly the same, but I tried." Mia said, throwing her hands up.

Reece was in shock, his eyes welling up. Mia held back a smile, trying not to have any reaction. Reece set the camera down and hugged Mia, taking her by total surprise.

"Thank you." Reece said. "This means so much to me."
"Of course. If you turn it on, you'll see I put the old SD card in. It should still have photos on there." Mia said, smiling.
"I'll look at them later." Reece said, pulling back and taking the camera in his hands. "Thank you, Amy."
"You haven't called me that in years." Mia said, taken back.
"I know." Reece nodded. "Just wanted to see if you'd freak out."
"I hate you." Mia scoffed.
"No you don't!!" Reece yelled, walking away.

Reece chuckled as he walked up to Marjorie, who was now holding Logan. Reece flipped the camera on, taking a picture of the two of them.

"Is that the camera you had as a teen?" Marjorie asked, giggling.
"Kinda." Reece nodded. "It's the same brand, Mia bought me a new one."
"How sweet of her." Marjorie smiled.

Reece hit the image button on the camera, looking at the picture he took of Marjorie and Logan. He studied Marjorie—- her slightly wavy bob, her red nails resting on Logan's chest, her left arm supporting her head, and the slight smile she had plastered on her face. Reece sighed to himself, shutting off the camera, wondering how he got so lucky with a picture-perfect girl.
