Chapter CHAPTER 20
A month later,
“Do you take Eric Forrest as you beloved husband”?
Jesse smiled and said :
“I do”.
“Do you take Jesse John, as your beloved wife”?
Eric wore a teasing expression and said:
“I absolutely do”.
Jesse and Eric stared loving at each other. The officiating priest beamed at them.
When it was time for the exchange of rings, everyone cheered. Derek, Kelvin , Bryan, John, Zach, Lincoln and others all clapped for the newest couple in town. Lincoln made sure he clapped the hardest for them . Zach was Eric’s best man while the co-commander's daughter was Jesse’s chief bridesmaid.
They were in Arith, Some people from Earth, had travelled back with them to Arith. The forces of Earth and Arith had been united. The were now one!
********
Zach was dancing with a girl, when Declan came over to join him.
“You must be enjoying your stay in Arith”.
“Sure, I am , you”?
“Very much”.
“If I think about how we came to be here, it feels unreal”.
“Very true, it’s so unreal” Zach said dancing.
“I have never seen Eric this happy” Zach said.
“Its mind blowing”.
“Kennedy will rot in jail, that’s sure”.
“We made sure, so he is definitely”.
“Oh that reminds me” Declan said.
Zach looked at him expectantly.
“How did you know I would be interested in Kennedy’s case”.
Zach smiled at him and said:
“There are certain things that are better left unsaid”.
“Oh really”.
And they laughed at that.
