Sunshine (Jeller + Bethany) - one shot
a/n: I missed a scene from Jeller with Bethany during the wedding, so I decided to write that. I hope you like it!
I took a few steps away from Jane so that I would lose sight of her. It was our marriage, and I was as close as possible to her, still stuck with all that moment, but it was only a moment with our friends that I lost sight of her.
It was not long before I noticed this, and then my gaze ran across the garden. Allie was on her back talking to Dr. Hirst, Stuart was seeing something on Reade's cell phone, and Patterson was laughing wildly about something as he moved Sawyer's hair.
I thought that probably Jane was holding Tasha somewhere out of my sight, along with Sarah and Roman, who now saw themselves as brothers in the same way that Jane and I saw them.
I took advantage of the moment of distraction of all and entered the house that was next to the garden where the celebrations were taking place, in search of a moment alone. Most of the place was still in that romantic mood, but I was looking for an isolated place.
I had spent so much time not thinking about love and worried about everyone around me that I never thought it would ever be love. But today, there after receiving the yes of the woman of my life, I knew that I had found it forever.
It was funny to think that I had found her in the most worrying moments of my life. She was the hurricane of my life, but it was also the home of peace that I never thought I would ever experience. She took away all my doubts and confirmed all my certainties. She silently questioned who I was, and made me an even better man. That was to be the love of my life.
My thoughts were interrupted as I slowly heard a soft voice or something almost inaudible. The sound came from the next room and I then slowly went through the compartments.
"You are my sunshine, my only sunshine. You make me happy when skies are gray." My favorite voice sang out of tune. It was Jane singing with Bethany in her arms, a scene to take my breath away and throw in the bottom of the pit any stone from the wall of my heart.
"You'll never know dear, how much I love you," I continued, which frightened her quickly and made her look at me, but then she smiled and turned her eyes to the baby.
"Please do not take my sunshine away," Jane finished. Bethany, so little, understood nothing of what Jane was singing in the song of Johny Cash, but she smiled in a way that reminded me when Allie said that she kicked whenever she heard me sing that same song.
I hugged her from behind so the three of us were there, dancing and humming that song, until Bethany started to kick, signaling that her moment of calm was over. Jane and I laughed and she then took the child from her lap and placed it at shoulder height, which gave me a better view of her.
"So you were up here with mama Jane, huh?" I said looking at my little girl and she and Jane laughed.
"I had danced with almost everyone, but not with her so I thought it was appropriate to come here to do this," Jane said.
"Forgot to call me?" I said with a look of contempt and she then looked at me in a provocative way.
"Can not I have a moment alone with your daughter, man?"
"Of course you can," I said, and then I kissed her, which made Bethany laugh a delicious laugh.
"Apparently even she likes me to kiss you." I bent and caught Bethany in my arms, stroking her back and sniffing her scent of baby. She was already holding her hand in her mouth and staring at me. There was no way I could not fall in love with such a small, handsome being and watching her, next to Jane, I felt my heart even smile at that moment. I lifted my head with a smile to look at my wife and then she teased me again, kissing me one more time.
"So I guess you should do it more often."
I did, and then she and Bethany smiled again. The baby, as crazy about Jane as I was, held out her unoccupied arm as we approached, and she picked it up again with a care and affection born of one who loved her very much. I kissed my two girls and looked at them and deep inside felt something I had never felt before: I had a family, a family of mine and not just one of which I belonged.
