Thanks for all the wonderful reviews. Well this is the last chapter and it's somewhat sad. Hope you enjoy it.


Chapter 25: My Little Angel.

Scott sat beside the pool with his baby son in his arms. It was early morning and they had left Becca to sleep. He yawned and grinned down at JJ.

"Looks like daddy needs to get more sleep," he said and JJ looked up at him sleepily.

"Why don't you go back to bed son? I can keep this little guy amused for a couple of hours," said his father walking over.

"Thanks dad. There are bottles made up in the fridge," he said and yawned again. Jeff smiled at his son then took his grandson from him.

"Hi there JJ. You up for keeping Grandpa amused for a while," he said and JJ gurgled at him. Jeff grinned and walked off.

Scott walked back into the room he shared with Becca. She was still asleep. He brushed the hair off her face and she opened her eyes.

"Hey there," she said smiling sleepily at him.

"Morning beautiful," he replied kissing her lightly.

"How long have you been up?" she asked.

"A couple of hours."

"You should have woke me."

"You looked too peaceful and I'm coming back to join you," he said pulling off his t-shirt and climbing back into bed.

"Is JJ in his cot?" she asked snuggling up to her husband.

"Nope he is with dad."

"So we are all alone?" said Becca gazing up into his deep blue eyes with a cheeky grin.

"Yep," said Scott pulling her into his arms.

"How about working on baby no 2," he said and kissed her.


After breakfast Virgil, Gordon and John dragged Scott away from the others.

"What's going on guys?" he asked.

"We know what Becca and Maddie were talking about last night," said Virgil as they all sat by the pool together.

"Oh right," said Scott guessing Maddie must have told Virgil.

"Yeah so we thought why not have your wedding blessed," added Gordon grinning.

"Blessed?" queried Scott.

"Yeah. Its a little ceremony a lot like the actual wedding service but less formal," explained John.

"See that way you two get to have a wedding day with family and friends present. Plus we can take a load of photos as well," added Virgil watching as Scott began to grin.

"That's a great idea. Do you reckon the Vicar who married you and Maddie would do it?" he asked his brother.

"Dunno I will ask dad. He arranged it," said Virgil standing up.

"We had better get on before dad comes out here after us," said John and they all headed off to various parts of the island.


A couple of hours later and Scott sat in his old room looking through the box that Becca's dad had left for him. Most of it was old Air Force stuff. His medals were in there too. At the bottom, he found a letter and another box. He opened the letter first.

Scott

One day you and Becca will realize how perfect you are together. This item may come in useful if you decide to renew your vows.

Joshua.

Scott opened the box and studied what was inside. He then raced off to show it to his family.


Two months later and everything had been arranged Becca was the only one in the dark about the whole thing, as Scott wanted it to be a surprise. Lucie and Maddie knew she was suspicious though but luckily, JJ was keeping her busy.

Scott sat in his father's office enjoying a drink with his dad. It was something they did most evenings.

"Is everything ok dad. You have been really quiet all day?" asked Scott.

"Yes son everything is fine," he replied smiling. He had spent a lot of the day thinking about his wife but for the first time in a long time, it didn't make him sad.

"Been thinking about mom?" asked Scott. Jeff wasn't surprised that Scott had guessed what was on his mind.

"Yes. I have actually son. She would be so proud of you all and so happy to see you all settled."

"Yeah except Gordo of course," joked Scott. Jeff laughed with his son.

"I think he is slowly beginning to want what you guys have. I wouldn't be surprised if he meets someone before long," said Jeff and he hoped it was true. He had watched his second youngest son grow up a lot in the last few months and it was time he had someone as well.

"Yeah maybe," said Scott grinning. Jeff stood up and pulled a box out of the drawer. He walked back up to Scott and handed it over to Scott.

"What is this?" asked Scott looking at the small box.

"Open it up and see," replied Jeff smiling. Scott opened the box to reveal an engagement ring.

"Is this mom's?" he asked studying it closely.

"Yes it is son and I noticed that Becca is missing an engagement ring so I think you should give her this," he explained.

"Are you sure dad?"

"Yes son. I know that you and Becca never had an engagement but it is only right she should have an engagement ring. Your mom would want you to have it."

"Wow thanks but didn't Virgil or John want it?"

"No son. They felt it belonged to you."

"Will you be ok with seeing it every day?"

"Yes son I will be. Your mom wouldn't want it hidden up in a box. She would be happy to see Becca wearing it. I know she would," he said smiling at his son.

"Thanks dad. You have given me a great idea now," said Scott standing up.

"I have?" queried Jeff.

"Yes. Now I can give Becca a proposal to remember too well I can try anyway. I can't do any worse then the first time," replied Scott remembering how he had told Becca they were going to get married.

"It doesn't matter how you do it Scott or even what you say. As long as it comes from your heart she will love it," he replied and hugged him.

"Thanks dad," he said and ran off.


The day of the Blessing arrived and Becca was getting annoyed with everyone's behaviour. She stood up.

"Alright what's going on? You have all been acting weird for days?" she asked with obvious frustration. Everyone glanced nervously at Scott. Becca spotted this and turned on her husband.

"Scott care to explain?" she asked.

"Sure. Becca I have known you most of my life and have loved you almost as long. In that time there are things I have done that I will always regret but the main one was our wedding," he paused for a second. Everyone sat in stunned silence at what he had just said.

"You regret marrying me?" she asked sadly.

"No I regret the way I married you Becca," he said taking a step closer. Becca instantly stepped back unsure of what he was getting at.

"Scott what are you trying to say?"

"I'm trying to say albeit badly that I want to give you the wedding that you deserve. The one I know you truly wanted."

"Ok," replied Becca still clueless as to what he was on about. Scott noticed this and knew it was time for some action. He knelt down in front of her and Becca's eyes widened in surprise.

"Scott what are you doing?" she asked as he pulled something out of his pocket. She glanced around the room at the others who were all smiling excitedly.

"I'm not like John or Virgil when it comes to making fancy speeches but a wise man told me to speak from the heart so that's what I'm going to do. I love you more then words can say. You give me a reason to get up in the morning, you put up with me when I'm in a bad mood and you never complain when I rush off in the middle of the night. Will you marry me," he said and then added grinning. "Again."

Becca looked down at the ring still trying to comprehend everything he had said to her.

"I think she is a still a little confused honey," said his grandma.

"Why don't you tell her what you have planned for today," prompted Virgil.

"Today?" asked Becca.

"I have arranged for us to have our wedding blessed. A kind of renewal of our vows. A way for me to show my love and commitment to you and my family. If you say yes of course," he explained hoping she would say yes.

"Yes," she replied quietly and only Scott realized she had spoken.

"What did you say honey?" he asked still kneeling on the floor.

"Yes I'll marry you," she paused and then added. "Again."

Scott placed the ring on her finger then stood up and kissed her. The others all cheered.

"I'm sorry that didn't come out as well as I had hoped. I'm really bad at this," he said looking embarrassed.

"You're better at it then you think," she replied and kissed him again.

"Well on that sweet note. I think it's time we stole you away Bex. You can't get married in your jeans," said Maddie grabbing her hand and dragging her out of the room before she could argue.

Lucie and Tintin followed them into Maddie and Virgil's room. Maddie pointed at the dress hanging on the wardrobe. Becca walked over to look at it and then turned round to the girls.

"This was my mom's wedding dress," she said.

"Yeah. Your dad put it in that box of stuff he gave to Scott. He knew that one day you might need it," explained Lucie.

"We just made a few minor alterations to it," said Tintin.

"Wow thanks guys," she replied and hugged them all.

"Your step mom asked us to give you this too," said Lucie handing her a letter. Becca opened the letter and began to read.

Dear Becca

If you are reading this then my heart must have finally given up. Here are a few things I always wanted to tell you. The day you were born was the happiest day of my life. The first time you smiled at me I lost my heart to you. I have never felt more proud of you then the day you joined SRS. You are my greatest achievement.

I hope that one day you and Scott will be as happy as your mom and I were. I know he is the man you are meant to be with. He will look after you and the baby.

I will always love you my little angel

Love dad.

Tears poured down her face and the others all panicked that they had upset her.

"Are you ok honey?" asked Maddie wrapping her arm around her.

"Yeah it was just what I needed to read. Thanks," she replied and wiped the tears away.


Scott watched as the door slipped open and Becca came out. She looked so beautiful it took his breath away. They had decided to approach the vicar together.

"Wow," he said smiling at her.

"Thanks," she replied smiling at him. He took her hand and they walked out together.

The service was conducted and a few tears were shed mainly by Parker and Grandma Tracy. Becca's step mom was there too which Becca was happy to see. Everyone congratulated the happy couple and tons of photos were taken by Gordon who was in charge of the camera. He managed to catch some amazing shots of everyone.

Later that evening Virgil and Maddie sat at the piano playing various pieces of music. They finished the piece they were currently playing and Virgil stood up to make a short toast.

"I just wanted to congratulate the bride and groom on their second big day. Becca you look beautiful but I can't say the same for you bro," he said and everyone laughed.

"It's taken you two a long time to realize what the rest of us have always known but we are glad that you have. Its obvious you belong together and I hope you have a wonderful life together. Now would you please make your way to the dance floor for your first dance," he said and sat back down at the piano.

Scott guided his beautiful bride to the dance floor and wrapped his arms around her. Virgil began to play a familiar tune to the both. Becca looked up at Scott her eyes shining.

"Our song," she said and he kissed her lightly.

"It had to be this. It just fits somehow," he replied and she laid her head on his shoulder.

"Yeah. It will always mean something to me."

"Me too."

"Thank you for today Scott it has been wonderful."

"I just wanted you to have a day to remember. Like you should have done in the first place," he said and looked sad for a moment.

"No matter how it happened Scott. I still married the man I loved. I just didn't realize it then. I love you Top Gun."

"I love you too beautiful and I will never stop loving you."

"You better not," she said and pulled his head down so she could kiss him. He tipped her to the side slightly and deepened the kiss.

"Uh small people in the room bro," said Virgil walking over with his nephew In his arms. Scott took his son from his brother and gazed down at him.

"Hi little guy mommy and daddy are very proud of you for being so good," he said as JJ gabbed his finger.

"Yeah so you make sure you are good for Uncle Virgy and Aunty Maddie ok," said Becca kissing her son's head.


Jeff stood on the balcony holding his grandson and looking in at his family. They all seemed so happy. They had been through some really tough times but always seemed to bounce back. He knew the bond between him and his sons had grown much stronger. He had two beautiful grandchildren and he had a feeling there would be more before long. He turned to stare out at the sea and thought about Lucy. She would have loved today and he hoped she was watching over them all. He gazed up at the sky.

"I miss you Lucy," he said.

"I miss you too," whispered a silent voice across the sea. Jeff smiled and turned back to his extending family and watched them all having fun. He saw Scott lead his wife away from the noise and knew they wouldn't be seen again tonight. He looked down at their baby boy who had fallen asleep in his arms. Life was good.


Authors Note: That's it guys. I'm really sad to say but up next is Gordon's story and Jeff's last statement about life being good is about to change. Thanks for all the wonderful reviews. Hope you all enjoyed it. Love ya.
