White dress. Hair up. Pink bouquet. Sam stood in the penthouse living room. Her white gown was simple, white, and mermaid style, showing off her curves perfectly before flowing out around her knees. The detail was minimal, a little beading contouring the sweetheart style neckline, a blue sash, matching his eyes, tied around the small of her waist. Her hair was done in a simple donut bun, sitting high on the back of her head. No veil, she hadn't wanted one, she had wanted to see his eyes locked on hers, none of her vision blocked by any flimsy material. Her makeup was simple, natural like Jason had always seen and loved it. In her hands, she held a small bouquet of pink and white roses, simple and conventional, even though she and Jason had never been conventional. She was ready to go, ready to remarry her one and only.

Around her stood Maxie, Molly and Kristina. Though she had opted not to have any big wedding party, they had insisted on helping her get ready, along with her mother. Her father had come along as well, because he was the one escorting her down the aisle. Danny, too, was there, ready to help his grandpa Julian walk his mom to his dad. To say that Danny was excited was an understatement. After years of helping his mom mourn his dad, after years wishing he could meet his dad, call him dad, be loved by his dad, after years of wishing he could have a full family like Georgie had, he didn't want anything more than for it to be him, his mom and his dad, forever. That's what he had told them when they announced to him that they would be remarrying, and he was the one who got to announce the wedding to pretty much everyone, including his grandma Monica, uncle A.J., uncle Franco, Grandpa Julian, aunt Molly, uncle Rafe, aunt Krissy, uncle Johnny, Spinelli, and, of course, Georgie - Sam had told her mom herself as well as Maxie.

She turned away from the mirror they had brought into her living room, meeting the expectant eyes of her loved ones. They all smiled at her, nodding their heads in approval. She felt a slight blush come up onto her cheeks.

"You look beautiful, mom" said Danny, standing from his place on the couch and walking up to her. She smiled and leaned down to hug him.

"And you look super handsome" she told her son, squeezing his shoulders tightly before letting go. Danny looked up at her, still smiling.

"Dad is gonna love it" he pointed out. Sam smiled and watched as he went back to his place on the couch. Nobody else spoke until they were driving to the chinese restaurant - where they had gotten married the first time and would be married the second.

She climbed out of her seat, stepping onto the cobblestone path leading to the door of the chinese place. Molly, Kristina and Maxie kissed her cheek quickly before telling her they'd see her inside - or, well, outside. After that, she and her parents were greeted by the elderly couple who she had been surprised to know were both still alive - even twelve years after the first wedding, the first time they had met the elderly owners of the restaurant. Danny had gotten confused, and asked his Nana Alexis what they were saying. Alexis had just shrugged and told him she didn't speak Chinese any more than he did. No one knew what was being said, so Sam would just nod and smile every little while as they spoke. Eventually, they told her everyone was standing around outside, as planned, and Alexis made her way outside to join the group - not before giving Sam a kiss on the forehead and telling her she was happy for her. Sam had smiled and nodded, thanking her, before she intertwined her arm with her dad's, and took Danny's hand in hers. She held her simple bouquet in her free hand.

There was no music, no seats. In fact, in Sam's eyes, there was only Jason - and maybe, just a little, the young boy whose hand was squeezing hers. Before she knew it, her dad was taking her bouquet, and son, and she was standing face to face with the love of her life. The minister, the same man that had married them the first tim, told them to join hands. Tears already welling up in her eyes, she felt his strong hands embrace hers in the most loving and comforting way possible. And then the minister spoke, but she barely made out any of it, not until the same words escaped Jason's mouth, his love for her coming though loud and clear. And then, she found herself repeating the words she had barely processed upon hearing them, as if instinct was telling her what to tell her husband. And then, she heard the minister tell them to exchange their vows, and she saw Jason take in a deep breath before he spoke.

"Sam, I fought for ten years to come back to you, and when I finally did, I was so, so happy. You know I'm a man of little words, so I'll say this as simply as possible. I love, Sam. And I never stopped. And I never will" he said, short and sweet, and everything she needed to hear. Tears were welling up in her eyes already, and she knew they were going to fall when she spoke her own vows of love to him.

"Jason, I spent ten years grieving for you, unable to move on. I never stopped loving you, no matter what. And when you came back, Jason... I was so, so happy. This, right here, to have you and Danny and for us to be a family, this is all I ever wanted. I loved you. I still love you. I always have. And I always will" she let out, choking out the last few words through her cries of pure joy. They didn't exchange rings, since they already had the ones with which they wed sitting on their fingers. So, after a few chinese traditions, they were officially married again, and they sealed it with a kiss, just as passionate as the one they shared at their first wedding. As she pulled away, her cheeks tearstained and her eyes newly watery, she smiled, biting her lower lip as she did. Their eyes were locked, brown on blue, until she felt an arm wrap around her waist. She looked down to see her son's blue eyes looking back up at her. She smiled and hugged him back, her one arm around Jason, the other around Danny, as they all hugged like the happy family they were/ The cheers of the rest of the family and friends were tuned out she focussed on the two blond-haired, blue-eyed boys holding her tightly. Danny and Jason, both holding her. It truly was her greatest dreams realized, all she ever wanted.
