Nick wiped a joyful tear off Liz's already tearstained face and leaned in for a soft, gentle, long kiss. When they finally pulled apart, he grinned. "I love you, Mrs. Carter."
"I love you, too, Mr. Carter," she replied.
"Can I tell you something? You guys are definitely a couple that's gonna last," the Elvis impersonator said. "You don't see too many of those in Vegas chapels."
"Thank you," Nick said.
"Um, honey, you do realize Kevin is gonna kill us?" Liz said when they got outside.
"Man, I hadn't thought about that." He paused. "You know what? Who cares? I love you, and I want everyone to know it. If Kevin has a problem with it, that's his problem."
On the way home, they discussed how they were going to break it to everyone. It wouldn't be easy in the least bit. Luckily, when they got back to the hotel, the first person they encountered was Brian. "Uh, Brian, can we tell you something?" Nick asked cautiously.
"Sure. What?"
Nick dragged him into his and Liz's room. "You have to promise not to tell anyone, especially Kevin," Liz said.
"Uh, okay..."
"Don't freak out on us. Liz and I...we got married this afternoon," Nick confessed.
"What? You're kidding!" Brian exclaimed. "Are you crazy?"
"Be quiet...no, we're not kidding, and you said you wouldn't freak out on us!" Liz replied in a shushed voice.
"No, I didn't. Nick told me not to freak out on you. I never agreed. You got married?" he said incredulously.
"Yes, we did. Liz is pregnant," Nick stated. "I love her."
"Man, I'm happy for you guys, but Kevin is gonna be pretty pissed off," Brian said.
"We know. We didn't really think of that until after we got married."
"I can't believe our little Nick is married," Brian teased. "And he got married in a Vegas chapel."
"We're gonna have a real wedding after she has the baby," Nick informed him.
"Do I get to be your best man?"
"Of course. I was yours." Nick paused. "Please don't tell anyone. We'll break the news."
"Who all knows?"
"The two of us and you...oh, and our witness and Elvis," Liz said.
Brian snickered. "You were married by an Elvis impersonator. Never thought I'd see that happen. When do you plan on telling everyone else?"
"Well, we're gonna call the guys together for a meeting maybe downstairs in the restaurant. Kevin can't freak out in a restaurant," Nick said.
"Okay, let me know what's going on."
