Chapter 120

It takes an extraordinary amount of will to not just run down the aisle and kiss Maggie breathless, but Alex manages to keep the slow pace. Her father's arm linked with hers certainly helps her keep her cool. Barely.

Jeremiah leads her to the front and kisses her cheek. "I'm so proud of you, Alex." He murmurs in her ear before pulling back and beaming at her.

There are tears in his eyes too and Alex feels another slip down her cheek. She turns back towards her fiancée and her world once again narrows down to them. She steps towards her, taking her place at Maggie's side. Alex holds out her hand and Maggie takes it, the two beaming at each other. They barely even register Kara taking her place by Alex's side and Lena taking hers at Maggie's.

"You look beautiful," Maggie breathes.

She takes the time to look Alex up and down, from her perfectly curled hair to the bottom of her dress, swishing in the light breeze an inch off the ground. Maggie beams at the woman that in a short time will officially (finally) be her wife. Alex grins dopily at the dimples she sees.

"You look very handsome." Alex winks at her. Maggie chuckles because Alex has never managed to successfully wink at her, both eyes always end up closing.

Alex takes the time to take in Maggie's outfit and she can't wait to tear it-

J'onn clears his throat, breaking through their haze. "Your so-called 'space father' is right here, and can hear the thoughts you two are thinking rather loudly."

His words cause everyone that can hear him to laugh softly, and Maggie and Alex to blush.

Maggie pats J'onn's arm with the hand that isn't holding Alex's still. "Sorry, J'onn."

J'onn just shakes his head, fondness in his eyes as he looks at his Earth Daughters. He clears his throat again and begins the ceremony.

"Friends and family of the brides. We are gathered here today to celebrate the love between Maggie and Alex. And to show our encouragement as they take the next step in their relationship. As you all may or may not know, I have known Alex for a long time. Long enough for her to start calling me her 'Space Dad.' " Chuckles run through the crowd at that and the two women smile warmly at him. "And I can honestly say I have never seen Alex so happy or relaxed as she has been since you came into her life, Maggie. You've helped her glow, and to my agents' amusement, also bounce." People laugh again and Alex blushes but doesn't stop grinning. "And I haven't known you for as long, Maggie, but I've noticed a difference in you too. Alex has that effect on people, either they're terrified of her, or they love her. In Winn's case, it's both." He jokes.

"He's not wrong," Winn murmurs.

"You two have a love that most people spend their lives searching for. You have been through so much together, and have come out stronger because of it. You have a relationship that is 'goals' as Kara would say." J'onn pauses, his Adam's apple bobbing. "And I couldn't be more proud of you if you were my own blood."

Alex lip wobbles and she wipes away some tears that slide down her cheeks. She reaches out and squeezes J'onn's hand as his other reaches up to brush away tears of his own.

"Usually during wedding, the officiant needs to remind the couple about their roles in the marriage. But with the two of you, I don't think that's necessary. You already do everything I could say. So instead, I'll let you two get to what we have all been waiting for: for you to make us cry with your vows."

"Everyone's already crying." Winn points out, sniffling. "You're good with words, Papa Bear."

Kara blows her nose on one of the tissues she had stuck into the pocket of her dress since she knew she would cry a lot. She wordlessly hands one to Winn.

"Welcome to the family of crying dorks," Alex jokes.

Maggie just beams at Alex. "Good thing I knew what I was getting into."

Alex chuckles and squeezes Maggie's hand, happy that they can keep holding hands throughout this. "Who goes first, babe?"

"I can go." Maggie clears her throat and begins. "Alex, when I first met you, you looked intimidating as hell in your armor. But then you opened up your mouth and stumbled over your words."

"In my defense, you were smiling with those dimples."

Maggie beams at her, cocking her head slightly, dimples showing and Alex gestures to her face like that proves her point. Alex makes the zipping her lips motion at J'onn's amused raised eyebrow.

"Mm. It didn't take long to figure out why you were so flustered. And then I flirted, but I never imagined it would go anywhere." Maggie smiles softly as Alex squeezes her hand. "You are royalty, Allie, and incredibly beautiful. We were both gay messes." They both chuckle and Alex kisses Maggie's hand. "But right from that first kiss, I knew you are the woman I want to spend my life with. The woman I was already falling for, despite us not knowing each other for very long. That's the best thing about our relationship, Danvers. We keep falling. But we fall together, and we catch each other." Maggie's lips twitch up more and more tears come to her eyes. "Allie, I never thought I would be lucky enough to have a love like this. So I promise to cherish you and every moment we spend together. I promise I'll miss you every second we're apart. I promise I'll always keep your best interests in mind, and I promise I'll fight alongside you and kick butt." Alex lets out a watery chuckle. "But most of all, I promise that I'll love you. You're it for me. I love you, Allie."

Alex takes a tissue from Kara and wipes at her eyes. She leans in and gives Maggie a peck on the lips. "You too, Mags. Forever."

Aah!! Guess who nearly cried multiple times while writing this in front of her family! Me! Next chapter is Alex's vows! Hopefully Maggie's were okay, and maybe made you cry in the best way ;) Thank you all for reading and for your lovely comments! Stay awesome!
