He brightened the butterfly tie standing next to the mirror when his mother came to the room.

"What are you doing here?" He asked looking at her. "I thought that you will be wait upstairs."

"I have to check if you are here. Because considering what happened during last half of a year I can't be sure of that."

"Mum… this time I will be on my wedding…"

"I hope so. But I need to check anyway." She added. "You know we work so hard with Alexis and Lanie to adorn the boat. So I will be angry if it was doing for nothing."

Because Kate and Rick experienced a lot in their life to get married so they decided that it will be the best if this time the wedding will be modest. They planned to get married on the boat which was anchorage next to writer's house in Hamptons. It should in some way made that this time no one would be grabbed. Beside the people who was responsible for that was in prison or dead they wanted to better to be save then sorry. On ceremony should be only family and friends from precinct.

"Thank you mother for what you've done for us." He said looking in her eyes.

"Your welcome, kiddo" she grabbed his hand. "I'm happy for you. I just wanted to be a part of that. Although after your behavior in hospital I thought that this wedding felt through.

"You know what Kate said me in the hospital? That she believed in my innocence. That she know me so well that she knew that I couldn't do something like that. She chose to believe me. The same as she did it before when 3xK made that I was a suspect in murder investigation. The same as she didn't give up looking for me for this two months."

"So, my dear, you are lucky that this women will be with you the rest of your life. Because this is true love. And I'm glad that you finally find it after those two previous false starts."

He didn't say anything but in his look she saw that he was thinking the same way.

"Go now" Martha gently said him that it's time. "I just hope that this time you wrote a good vow. Because those two were a crying shame."

"I wrote this vow that she never forget it."

"Very good, because she deserve it."

"I know" he said and he went to the dick, where soon she should open a new chapter in his life.

Martha followed him with her eyes.

She felt the soft breeze which made that her dress started to dance. It wasn't the same dress which she had last time. That dress was too tight and made that her broken ribs hurt. This time she had modest white dress which reached up to her knees. Lanie adjusted her light scarf which she had on her shoulders. After a while appeared her father which gave the doctor understand that she could go to the altar. Woman gave Kate a wedding bouquet, squeezed her hand to show her support and went away.

"Ready?" Jim Beckett gave his daughter an arm.

She smiled to him and grabbed him. She looked on the sky full of stars and took a deep breath.

"Yes" she whispered.

They went slowly by the white carpet. Around them the white balloons danced on the wind. At the end of a road he was waiting. In her head appeared thousands of thoughts. Everyone was about the one. The fact that he was standing there. Wearing black suit he was waiting for her with a smile which lighted up his face. For a while he would be hers. Finally. Her heart started beat faster couldn't wait for that.

They stood face to face. In his eyes she saw endless love. She heard like her father said to Rick something about taking care of her. The ceremony started.

Lanie gave her a wedding ring. Kate put it on Rick's finger and said her vow:

"Since I met you I've got a reason to live. You add a little magic to my life. You had my back when I needed it the most. And however people said that we are from different worlds for me you are my whole world. I want to wake up every morning by your side, share with you happiness and sadness. I love you and I will till death do us part."

Now was Rick's turn. He gently took her hand and put gold wedding ring on her finger saying:

"From the moment when we've met my life became amazing because I met extraordinary woman. You are my inspiration and with you I am a better person. The life is like a dance. It's good when you have a right partner. My heart says me that I just found one. And I want to dance with you till the music play and longer. I promise you love, fealty and that I don't leave you till the death do us part. I want to be with you when we are healthy and ill, when we are young and beautiful as well as when we'll be old and wrinkled. I love you and I swear to you that I never stop."

"By the power invested in my by a state of New York now I pronounce you husband and wife." The priest's word made that her dream came true. "You can kiss the bride."

He drew her and gently touched her lips. In this moment she felt that she was safe. That she finally walked down from the edge of insurance and found heaven in his strong arms.
