Chapter Text
“For the first time ever I am honored to introduce Mr. and Mrs. Eliot Spencer.” Everyone applauded as we entered the ballroom. The train on my dress had been pinned up so it wouldn’t be in the way when I was walking around. We wanted the reception inside due to the fact that it was still pretty cold out at night.
Eliot and I walked up to the front table to sit with our wedding party. The table was set with our china of choice, a pure cream colored set with roses painted on for accents. I was still not feeling too well because of morning sickness, which is a very bad name for something that happens morning, noon, and night. Eliot was drinking for two and enjoying it greatly. “You need to stop rubbing in the fact that you can enjoy a nice cold beer right now.” I teased my husband.
I loved being able to call him that. “Sorry, I shouldn’t be rubbing it in. But I am really happy right now.” He leaned over and kissed me on the cheek. Sophie and Nate were sitting next to Eliot and Parker was sitting between me and Alec. Nikki wanted to sit down with her family.
The meal was served to us and the guests all raved about the food. I was just enjoying the company of those I loved around us. The crew was enjoying the liquor and I was nibbling at the food since I did need some protein.
“Ladies and Gentleman please turn your attention to the dance floor as our bride and groom have their first dance as husband and wife,” the DJ announced in to the mic as Eliot and I stood up. We walked over to the dance floor and Eliot swung me into his arms. The first chords of the song “Can I Have This Dance?” started playing from the speakers. Hardison had helped us record our own version so we could have it be even more special. (I am aware that it is from HSM but I loved the meaning and words)
We waltzed around the dance floor and I couldn’t take my eyes off his. “You look amazing in a tux Cowboy.”
“I am nothing compared to the magnificent creature I am holding in my arms Bug.” I smiled at him and kissed his cheek. “You look heavenly in that dress. If you weren’t already pregnant that would surely change tonight.”
“You are a horny all the time type of man. I am glad you are since I love to have sex all the time, but I am a bit nauseous right now thanks to you.” I looked down at my belly and gave him a pointed look.
“Not exactly sorry about that Darlin. But I wish you weren’t so uncomfortable.” I placed my head on his shoulder and sighed.
“I can’t believe that I found you. Growing up I never thought I would be able to open up to anyone besides Nikki, much less fall in love.”
“Well I am glad I can prove that wrong because I don’t think it is possible to love you more and then you do something that proves that I can. You are my soul mate Victoria.” I smiled and leaned back just far enough to catch his lips with mine.
The kiss caused the surrounding people to cheer and me to chuckle. As the song drew to a close and the next one started I was on cloud nine. We enjoyed another spin around the dance floor. The song Mine by Taylor Swift was playing and the rhythm was just country enough for Eliot to dance without cajoling from me. I was enjoying just being in his arms.
After that song we took a short break while Peter ran to the dance floor because he had just learned how to do the dance to the next song. The Macarena had been on repeat in the car and around Peter the past few days. He was a five-year-old who was very excited that he could dance with the adults.
He was so cute in his little white tux and black shirt. His little bow tie was a very deep purple, a mix of mine and Eliot’s color choices. He was loving being dressed up like his daddy, but I wouldn’t be surprised if he took it off to change soon enough. He ran up to Parker and Hardison and they did the dance with him. I was glad to see that they were back to making heart eyes at one another.
The first few chords of the song Smooth Criminal by MJ was something that made me chuckle. Eliot gave me a look with an eyebrow raised. I shoved him from my chair and he laughed at me. He almost lost his balance. Nikki came over to my chair and grabbed my hand as Worth It by Fifth Harmony started playing. I shook my head at her, but it had been her favorite song since it had come out. She and I grooved out with each other and more people had joined the crowd on the dance floor.
A couple faster paced songs played for a little bit and I was enjoying the time with my family and friends. Songs like Mr. Saxobeat, and Promiscuous were a few that I enjoyed. A few of them may be older songs but since both Eliot and I had grown up on that music we decided it was a good fit.
The song Lost Boy, by Ruth B, started playing with its powerful piano chords. I stood from my chair and walked over to my nephew and squatted to his height. “Master Peter, may I have this dance?” He blushed a little and took my hand when I held it out. I picked him up and swung him around to hear his glorious giggle.
I sung the song softly to him as we moved around in a slow dance fashion. He would smile even brighter when he heard his name. “My name is Peter!” I laughed.
“Yes, and not only are you my partner in crime, but you can be my Peter Pan to if you want?” He nodded so hard I was imagining his head popping off. I couldn’t help my laughter as the song came to an end. Eliot tapped on Peter’s shoulder and we both turned to look at him.
“Excuse me sir, may I cut in? I would like to dance with my wife.” I put Peter down as he nodded.
“Wait, Leliot, you are my uncle now right?”
“That I am munchkin. You are my nephew just like you are Tori’s nephew.” That made Peter beam. He ran back to his mom and dad and it looked like he was telling all about what happened in the last few minutes. “That little boy is damn cute.” Another slow song, Somewhere Only We Know, started and Eliot took me into his arms. “Seeing you with him in your arms has me day dreaming of the future. I wonder if we are having a boy or girl?”
“Or one of each? Twins run in my family. Would that be okay with you?” His smile only grew.
“I couldn’t be happier with that news.” He pulled me closer for the rest of the song and I received a nod from Parker that she was ready for our little surprise when I was. I had been working with Parker on a dance and we had quickly taught it to Nikki. Sophie was not a huge choreographed dancer.
When the song drew to a close Eliot was all set to just continue dancing but I took a step back. I held up a finger to tell him to just wait a moment. I walked to Parker and she handed me my spandex shorts and helped me take off the train of my dress and pin up the skirt portion so it was above my knees. I was barefoot since I had kicked off my heels and Parker was wearing her patented converse.
I walked over to the DJ stand and grabbed a stick mic. After checking that it was working I took a deep breath. “Hello everyone, and thank you for coming to celebrate with me and my amazing husband Eliot. I actually have a surprise for him since he knows that I am never normal. So Cowboy if you could take a seat in the chair that Nikki is positioning and everyone else if you could vacate the dance floor?” I handed back the mic and Nikki and I moved into the formation with Parker.
The song Honey I’m Home by Shania Twain began playing and we did our little dance to it. Eliot was smiling for the whole thing and even laughed a few times. I ended the song with sitting on his lap and my arms around his neck and he kissed me. This obviously lead to cheers from the audience. After the applause died down Parker and Nikki helped me with my skirt again to put it back to the original floor length.
Another country song began playing because Eliot got some say in the music. I laughed as he swept me into his arms and did a dance that felt quite a bit like square dancing. Being a southern belle myself I knew the song, Any Man of Mine by the same artist, and I sang along, much to the humor of my husband.
Cha Cha Slide began playing and Peter was again excited because he was able to do this dance. He stood between his parents and me. The whole crew joined us on the floor and we kept laughing at each other and our antics.
The beginning of Stuck Like Glue by Sugarland made me laugh because it was the song Eliot had chosen for the garter toss. “All the single men on to the dance floor because it is time for the garter toss!” the DJ announced. A chair was brought out for me to sit on and I was hoping Nikki or Chris was covering Peter’s eyes. Eliot was not known for behaving.
He crawled under my skirt and I could feel his fingers against my thigh. A shiver ran down my spine when I felt his tongue and teeth against the garter. He moved the garter down my leg and kissed my ankle quickly before crawling back out and standing up. All the guys cheered at the sight of my garter in my husband’s mouth. Eliot made a show of turning around as if he was going to just toss it over his shoulder, but quickly turned back and fired it directly at Alec.
Hardison blushed and tried to not make eye contact with anyone else in the room. I saw that Parker was smiling though. I had a feeling that no matter who actually caught my bouquet, a certain blonde would end up with it at the end of the night.
The song Man I Feel Like a Woman began and I stood up with my bouquet and waited for the women to gather around. I turned around just like Eliot, but I stayed that way. I gave a few trials and then really threw it. Amy from the Brew Pub actually caught it, and I saw Parker eyeing the flowers. She would end up with it no doubt.
The night was full of a few faster songs and then it was time for Eliot and me to take our leave. Songs like Drops of Jupiter made me smile since I was able to spend it in my love’s arms. The song Party For Two came on and I chuckled. We said our good byes and made our exit.
Nikki had giggled and told me that the song choice for us leaving was clever. I held Eliot’s hand as we climbed into his beautiful orange muscle car and drove away. We were spending the night in a hotel and then leaving for our actual honeymoon in the morning.
We arrived quickly since I was only really paying attention to Eliot’s hand holding mine, and he walked up to the front desk with me. All this while he never let go of my hand. We checked in to the honeymoon suite and made our way to the elevators with a parting congratulations from the man behind the desk.
Eliot was a total gentleman until we entered the room. He had me sit on the bed and took off his tux jacket. He grabbed a box and removed his Seston from inside. I was a little curious what was going on. Eliot undid his bowtie and hit a button on a remote. The song Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy played through hidden speakers.
Just as Eliot turns to me, I grin at him. “Oh I plan to.” I spoke seductively and he pounced.
