Chapter 13

"Yes, AJ, yes. I want to be your wife."

"Oh you’ve just made me the happiest man alive! I love you so much," he said picking her up and spinning her around.

Jesykah gripped him tightly. She was still crying tears of joy. After the first few months of their relationship Jesykah had realized that she could get used to waking up next to him everyday, kissing him for the rest of her life, making babies with him, calling things "theirs" instead of mine or yours. Jesykah sat back on the couch taking the past moments in. Wow! Who thought I’d marry AJ McLean. AJ sat down next to her and kissed her deeply. He pushed her back on the couch and climbed on top of her. She excepted his weight and their hands explored each others bodies. That night after making love they fell asleep in each others arms.

**Next Morning**

"Come on, I have to give you my gift!" Jesykah said anxiously trying to pull AJ off the couch.

"Oh babe, why now? Lemme sleep just a little more."

"No, now! you gotta come now!" she said, jumping up and down, like a little child.

"Fine! Lemme get a shirt on!"

AJ followed Jesykah into the next room. She went over in the corner and pulled a brown and black beagle.

"I know she’s nothing like Delilah, and I know she could never take the place of her but I thought this was just as good, knowing how much you love puppies."

"Oh this is great. Hey! I may love puppies, but I love you a whole lot more."

"Maybe we should call everyone and tell them the news?"

"What news?"

"AJ!" she said before smacking the back of his head. "What news do you think?"

"Sorry, the dye must be going to my brain," he joked pointing at his head.

"Must be."

"I think Kevin is still at Brian’s with Kathryn. Nick could possibly be there too since Bekah came."

"Most likely." She replied.

"5-5-5-5-4-7-9. Hey Ryn, is Brian there?"

"Yeah, hold up a sec AJ." she said setting down the phone.

"Hey Bone," Brian said.

"Yo B! Get everyone in the room and put me on speaker phone."

"Ooookay, but why?"

"Just do it!"

Brian laughed. "Okay, you’re on speaker phone. Now what?"

"Me and Jesykah wanted to tell you guys that we’re getting married."

There was a lot of screaming and cheering on the other end. "Way to go, AJ!" they heard Nick call.

"Did you set a date?" Howie asked.

"Yeah we were thinking March 3." Jesykah said.

"Oh, a winter wedding! I love those!" Daniella shrieked.

"Well, guys we’d love to chat more about this but we gotta call my mom." AJ stated.

"All right. Congratulations again!" Brian said, before hanging up.

"AJ did your Mom already know about this?"

"Yeah, she did. Sorry, sweets. Couldn’t keep something like this from my Mom."

"Oh that’s quite all right, this just makes things so much clearer."

"What do you mean?"

"I mean, that last night she to you to call her and let her know, I had no clue what that was all about. Also, she told me to call her mom."

"Oh yeah, I guess it does make sense now. Anyways, I still have to call her."

"5-5-5-1-9-7-8."

"Why do you do that?"

**AJ’s End Of The Call**

"Do what? Hi Mom!"

"Yeah. She said yes!"

"March 3rd."

"Yeah, she likes winter weddings too."

"Okay, well bye Mom. Have fun with Dan." With that AJ hung up.

"Who’s Dan?"

"Dan I guess is some guy she met at that Christmas party last night. I’m glad for her. She hasn’t really gotten around to dating since her divorce with my Dad. Especially going back and forth with tour and promos and stuff."

"I’m happy too. Did she seem enthused?"

"Definitely."

"I can’t wait."

The next few months were spent preparing for the wedding. Jesykah made the tough decision of having Juliana as her maid of honor, so naturally AJ had Brian be the best man. None of the guys were upset as long as they were assured to be paired with their girl. The girls went out and got fitted for dresses and the guys did the same with their tuxedos. Jesykah got more tests done for the cancer and once again found she was clean.

March 3rd, 2000

"Are you ready girl?" Rebekah asked.

"Ready as I’ll ever be."

Just then Jesykah watched as AJ’s cousin Kerri walked down the isle throwing flower petals everywhere. Behind here was her brother Brandon.

"Awww they’re so cute," Kathryn admired.

"Yeah they are," Juliana agreed.

Each girl walked down the isle with their man and then the Wedding March started. Everyone stood as Brian’s dad walked Jesykah down the isle. He gave her a kiss on the cheek and went back to the rest of his family. Jesykah said everything she had to say but didn’t really take it all in until she heard, " I now pronounce you Mr. and Mrs. Alexander McLean. You may now kiss the bride." AJ kissed her and it was a kiss she would remember forever.

AJ and Jesykah had decided on going to Cancun for their honeymoon. They made love almost every night *AN: Sorry I couldn’t resist! They did it in between this and the first time but I wasn’t about to write out all the times the deed was done all right? Just to make that clear to all of you.*

A week after they got back from their honeymoon Jesykah announce she was pregnant.

"Oh baby! Woo hoo! I’m gonna be a daddy!" AJ exclaimed.

"Yes, you are, and I’m going to be a mommy. What should we name it?"

"If it’s a boy I say we go with Alex."

"No, I’m not naming my baby boy after you!"

"Why not?"

"Do you know how confusing that will be for me?"

"Okay fine dear, how about Anthony Scott. I always liked that name as well."

"That’s nice AJ. I like that. I was thinking for a girl we could name her Jana Marie."

"That’s beautiful, and I’m sure she will be just as beautiful as her Mom, if it’s a girl."

"You still know how to make me blush."

"Well that’s me for ya."

"Very funny, hun."
