At the Motorage bar.

Douglas is with Chase, Harper, Adam, Grace, Bree, Kaz and Leo enjoying his last night as a bachelor, Mercedes brings Douglas a drink.

"Here, this is a wedding gift" Mercedes says "Thanks Mercy, very nice of you" Douglas says "Eh, I have a heart, it's just very small" Mercedes says sarcastically.

She looks at Grace, who now has her pregnant belly visible "the opposite of her belly, you know that a bar isn't very attractive for a pregnant woman" Mercedes says "I know but everyone insists on coming here" Grace says.

"Aw don't worry honey, soon our baby will be here...then you can bring him to the bar and drink whatever you want" Adam says, Chase frowns.

"Adam can't bring a baby to a bar" Chase says "what's wrong with that? I grew up in this bar" Mercedes says "which doesn't surprise me" Chase says sarcastically.

"Hey, my childhood memories are fucking epic, I lost my first baby tooth when a drunk opened that door in my face" Mercedes points to the door "And I thought I was the one who had a troubled childhood" Harper says.

"Have you lived your whole life in this bar?" Bree says "Yeah, childhood, adolescence...There's no reason to leave here" Mercedes says "Our baby won't be raised in the bar..." Grace says.

"About this, are you guys already thinking about how you're going to resolve it?" Douglas says "yeah, like Grace lives in the tower and you here, what are you going to do when the baby is born?" Kaz ask.

"I didn't think of that" Grace says "neither did I" Adam says "It doesn't surprise me" Chase says sarcastically, Harper hits his arm.

"Anyway, it's something you should think about, the baby can't move from here to there every day" Harper says "Harper is right, you guys can't leave the baby with one of you either, I think you two should take care of him" Bree says.

"what do you want to do?" Adam says "to be honest, I want to live with you" Grace says "But what about Elite Force, we need you, you're the only one of us who doesn't have any problems with the authorities" Leo says.

"Only if they don't find out you got pregnant by a criminal bionic fugitive" Kaz chuckles, Grace rolls her eyes.

"Calm down guys, one thing at a time, now I want you to focus on what really matters...my wedding day!" Douglas smiles "Are you nervous?" Leo ask.

"No... I mean, I have nightmares where Krane comes back to life and kills me for marrying his ex often, but I think that's normal" Douglas says "No man, that's not normal" Kaz says "No, it's quite common" Chase says frustrated.

"Do you have nightmares about Krane too?" Grace asks, Mercedes chuckles "of course he does, he's the one who gets laid the guy's daughter, Krane must turn over in his grave" Mercedes says, Chase blushes "Thanks for always making a super relevant and not embarrassing comment Mercy" Chase says sarcastically "I love embarrassing you Cap" Mercedes says.

"Okay, I get it, you all dream about Krane and it's fucking bizarre" Kaz says "Anyway, you shouldn't feel guilty Douglas, Krane wasn't my mom's guy, you are" Harper says.

"thank you, are you happy that I'm officially your stepfather now?" Douglas smiles "I can't think of anyone better, Dad" Harper says and hugs Douglas.

"Get ready to be in Chase's nightmares" Mercedes laughs "Keep talking and I'll be in yours!" Chase says threateningly "Uh he's fierce!" Mercedes smirk throwing the table cloth over her shoulder and leaving.

Grace and Leo return to Davenport Tower in Leo's car, when they arrive in front of the tower they find several reporters, bloggers and other people standing at the door of the building waiting for them to arrive.

"Oh no" Leo says "What's going on?" Grace says "Grace Grace! Is it true that you're pregnant!?" The reporters shout as they approach the car door, Grace makes a scared face and looks at Leo.

"This is what I think is happening?" Grace says, Leo takes out his cell phone and checks social networks and news sites, he shows Grace paparazzi photos they took of her that morning walking down the street in a dress that makes her pregnancy apparent.

Grace looks at him scared "Leo, what do I do!?" Grace says, Leo shakes his head, the reporters are blocking the car door, Tasha appears in their midst.

"Ms. Davenport, What do you know about Grace Harrington's pregnancy?" The reporters ask "I won't answer any questions, please leave, excuse me!" Tasha says.

"Tasha!" Grace says "Come with me darling!" Tasha opens the door and takes Grace's hand, Leo gets out of the car.

"Mister Dooley, what can you tell us about the Elite Force situation without Grace Harrington?" Reporters ask "I have everything under control" Leo says, Grace gets out of the car.

"Grace!" Reporters scream seeing the real proof that Grace is pregnant "Don't pay attention to them Darling" Tasha says "there are a lot of them" Leo says putting his hand on Grace's shoulder.

"I think we need to get this over with" Grace says "dear I don't know if it's a no idea" Tasha says.

"Grace, how many weeks pregnant are you?" A reporter asks "25 weeks pregnant" Grace says quickly trying to get past the reporters.

"Are you on maternity leave from the Elite Force?" Another asks "Yes" Grace says.

"who is the baby's father?" A reporter asks, Grace freezes "Uh..." Grace says "now answer or it will be suspicious" Tasha says softly "what do I answer?" Grace says.

"Who is the father? Who? Can Grace answer what the world wants to know?" The reporters need her to ask, Grace is left feeling anxious and scared.

"I don't..." Grace says almost crying, Tasha hugs Grace and tries to get her out of there, Leo watches the commotion scared and worried about Grace.

"Excuse me!" Tasha shouts at reporters.

"who is the baby's father?" Reporters keep asking "It's me!" Leo says loudly, Grace and Tasha and all the reporters look at him in surprise, Leo keeps a serious face.

Meanwhile at Mighty Force headquarters, Douglas and Mr Davenport walk through the aircraft carrier

"Woah I still can't believe The kids were able to do all this in one year" Mr Davenport says "I would say we fulfilled the objective of making them warriors" Douglas smirk

"And how did you and Melody spend this last year?" Mr Davenport ask "It was difficult for everyone, but having her by my side made all this madness of hiding from the government easier" Douglas says "I know, Tasha helped me a lot with that too" Mr Davenport says.

"I still can't believe she really loves me, she's the only woman in the world who understands me and accepts even my issues from the past" Douglas says "She's special" Mr Davenport says.

"She is, but that doesn't make her easy either, the woman hates being contradicted, a straight-laced lady and the most intelligent in the relationship" Douglas shakes his head.

"Does she say that?" Mr Davenport says "She says, what's worse is that she's rarely wrong" Douglas says, Mr Davenport chuckles "finally my little brother will see what it's like to be married" Mr Davenport hugs Douglas.

"it took me more than 40 years to understand what love really is" Douglas shakes his head "I'm proud of you, and very happy too" Mr Davenport says.

"Thank you Donny, in fact this reminds me of something I wanted to ask you" Douglas says putting his hand on Mr Davenport's shoulder.

"remember when we were just two boys dreaming about our company and the future...Our future families?" Douglas says "Yes, I remember, we never imagined it would be so incredible, I mean we imagined great things but our expectations were completely exceeded" Mr Davenport smiles.

"Yes, and we always said we wanted to be each other's best man" Douglas says "Do you want me to be your best man?" Mr Davenport says "Yes, this will be the most important moment of my life and I want you to be the one by my side" Douglas says.

"I will love it! Of course, thank you!" Mr Davenport says excitedly and hugs Douglas.

Leo, Grace and Tasha finally enter the tower, Leo enters the penthouse agitated.

"Leo, what do you think you're doing?" Tasha says "Sorry, I panicked!" Leo says.

"You? I was the one being hammered with questions, the reporters were the people who made the burger and I was the defenseless meat that was being hammered with it!!" Grace makes the hammering gesture, Leo frowns at her analogy.

"Look, I know it was something unexpected, but I didn't see any other way out" Leo says "You know this is going to be the front page of every gossip site, right?" Tasha says.

"I know, but what else could we do that wouldn't hurt Grace's reputation?" Leo says "They'll keep asking questions" Tasha says "we'll make up a story about it, better than risking people finding out about Adam" Leo says.

"Oh yes and there's that too, do you think Adam will accept you lying to the world about his baby like that?" Tasha says "he'll understand" Grace says sitting on the sofa with her hand on her belly.

"see? It's the best way to get out of this, no one will suspect I live with her, we're together all the time, it's to be expected" Leo says "It is?" Grace frowns "No! I didn't mean that I expected us..." Leo says "I get it" Grace says.

"What about Janelle?" Tasha says "She'll understand" Leo says.

"Wait, do you want to lie that we're together?" Grace asks "No, it was just a one time kind of thing...But now we're just friends" Leo says "Oh my God" Tasha puts her hand on her forehead.

"mom, extreme situations require extreme measures" Leo says, Tasha looks at her cell phone "Look, all the TV channels want to interview you, the biggest scandal of the week!" Tasha says.

"whatever, I'm just trying to protect us all" Leo says, Grace thinks "But only if you agree with that" Leo says, Grace puts her hand on her belly thoughtfully "Okay" Grace says "are you sure?" Tasha asks "yeah, I think it's the only way" Grace says.

"so I think you better explain and soon, the entire media is freaking out" Tasha says leaving to answer a call, Leo looks at Grace.

"I can't believe you're going to do this for me" Grace says, Leo sits with her "I'm doing this for your family, I would never forgive myself if something happens to Adam and you and I didn't do anything to stop it" Leo says.

"Aw You are the best friend I could ask for" Grace hugs Leo "Oh my god!" Grace turns away from him "What?" Leo says "I think the baby just kicked" Grace smiles.

"Really?" Leo says "Yeah, here feel it" Grace holds Leo's hand on her belly, the baby kicks back "Woah that's so crazy" Leo chuckles.

"I know, he's been doing that lately,but I haven't had a chance to show it to anyone yet" Grace says, Leo smiles.

"Hey baby, it's your uncle Leo" Leo says and the baby kicks again "Don't tell Chase but I think we already know who the favorite uncle is" Leo smiles and Grace laughs.

"Mom, you look beautiful!" Harper says "Thank you daughter" Melody says.

"where's that dress from, again?" Harper says adjusting Melody's veil "It's mine, I'm going to wear this dress for the second time" Melody sighs.

"Are you okay?" Harper says "it's just, it's my third marriage so... it's a lot of pressure" Melody says.

"Look, Mom, Krane was a mistake..." "it wasn't, it wasn't!" Melody interrupts Harper "Did he make me suffer? Yes, but if it weren't for that I wouldn't have you so I'll never say that my marriage to Krane was a mistake" Melody says, Harper smiles.

"And George..." Melody thinks "You don't talk about him much" Harper says.

"he was amazing, he was my best friend, and a great father to Finn, all he wanted was for me to be happy" Melody says "so he would be very proud for you today" Harper holds Melody's hands.

"Yeah, but... honestly, Douglas is the first guy i...feel like is my soulmate" Melody says "he is, he is....he was the guy who waited for you, waited for you to evolve into the unshakable, strong and intelligent woman that you are today, so that you, each with your unique characteristics, could save each other" Harper smirk.

"You said it nicely, that's why you're my maid of honor" Melody says "I would hug you but it will threaten the dress" Harper says.

"Oh screw it" Melody smiles and hugs Harper, they hear a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Harper says "It's me, Chase....you know the nerdy guy you fell in love with" Chase says, Harper chuckles.

"Is Douglas with you?" Melody asks "No, he's getting ready" Chase says.

"I'll be right back" Harper says, Melody looks in the mirror.

Harper gets out of the living roomand Chase is waiting in the hallway, wearing a navy blue dress suit and a white silk shirt half open at the chest, his gelled hair in a pompadour, with just a strand of hair falling over his forehead.

He looks at Harper, who wears a long navy blue silk dress, with a slit on one of the legs that went up to the thigh, thin straps, high black stiletto heels, with only half of her hair tied up.

"Woah!" Chase sighs blushing "so enchanted princesses really do exist!" Chase smirk "Stop Chay" Harper chuckles shyly "You look beautiful Harp" Chase says, Harper bends down making a delicate bow, Chase smiles.

"I don't think it's cool for you to steal the bride's shine like that" Chase smirks, Harper wrinkles her nose.

"Oh, do you think I should change?" Harper says "Hey, no, don't you dare lay a finger on that dress...because if there's anyone who's going to take it off, it's me" Chase says, Harper smiles.

"You're also look very handsome" Harper approaches, Chase leans in and kisses her "And hot" Harper says softly.

Chase chuckles and holds her tight, kissing her face several times, Harper laughs gently as Chase picks her up and spins her around.

"Stop, my hair, the dress" Harper laughs "You don't care about any of that" Chase says putting her down and kissing him firmly, Harper breaks the kiss "yeah, I don't" Harper smiles and fixes his hair, placing his loose strand of hair with the rest of his hair.

"I came to see how things are going, no surprises?" Chase ask "Nope, just this pleasant distraction that just knocked on the door" Harper smirk, Chase smiles he looks into her eyes for a while.

He always looks at her with the same sparkle in his eyes as if it were the first time, just as she feels her heart speed up whenever she feels his hand gently touch her skin, as if it were the first time, Chase caresses Harper's cheek.

"You got the answer you wanted" Harper smiles "Uh...yeah" Chase shyly walks away, returning to reality, Before he walks away.

Harper holds his hand and gently kisses it, looking into his eyes, he smiles "I love you too Harp" Chase says as she lets go of his hand and goes back to the room with Melody, Chase sighs thoughtfully walking away from the door.

At Davenport Tower, Leo, Finn, AJ and Daniel are ready to go to the wedding, and are waiting for Grace to get ready.

"Grace!! Hurry up!" Daniel says "We're going to be late for the ceremony" AJ says "the ceremony is in an hour, there's time" Grace says on the second floor.

"One hour is about the time it takes to drive there, let's go!" Leo says "look as long as we don't miss the cake part, I don't care" Finn says, Leo rolls his eyes.

"I don't understand women, what is there to do with your hair and face?" Daniel says "clearly things you have no idea about" AJ says, Daniel glares at him and Finn laughs.

They hear someone at the door, Leo goes to the door and Grace goes downstairs.

Leo opens the door and finds Janelle standing in the doorway with her arms crossed.

"Janelle? What are you doing here?" Leo asks "Are you going to be a father!!?" Janelle screams irritated and shows the video from the previous day where Leo says he is the father of Grace's baby.

Leo's eyes widen as does everyone in the room "he's screwed now" Finn says "No, Janelle I can explain" Leo says "We're going to wait in the car, we're on leave" AJ says pulling Finn and Daniel with him.

"Car? where are you going? Why are you dressed like that?" Janelle asks seeing Leo with a suit and a black striped dress shirt

"We're going to...uh" Leo thinks "It doesn't matter! What matters is that you made me look like a fool in front of the whole world, did you stop to think about that!?" Janelle says.

"I was going to explain it to you but everything happened so fast" Leo says "Are you the father of her baby Leo!? You cheated on me?" Janelle asks irritated.

"No, I would never cheat, that's horrible, I would never do that to you!" Leo says "so why did you tell the whole world that you are the father!" Janelle says.

"Janelle, Leo has nothing to do with this" Grace says "Grace, excuse me" Janelle says "of course" Grace leaves with her head down.

"Why!?" Janelle asks, Leo sighs "Janelle, I love you, but unfortunately I can't give you a full explanation of everything for reasons of protecting my family" Leo says.

"and I'm not your family?" Janelle says, Leo looks at her surprised, as if he just noticed something "Did you happen to think about when or how to tell me about this stupid lie you told everyone?" Janelle ask "No, like I said it all happened very quickly" Leo says.

"do you have any idea how humiliating it was for my family to see my boyfriend claiming to be the father of another girl's baby on TV in front of me" Janelle says "I imagine" Leo says upset.

"I don't understand why you did that and you wouldn't even tell me if I hadn't knocked on your door!" Janelle says "You would never understand" Leo says "try to explain!" Janelle says.

"I can't, I can only tell you that now I need to keep this lie to protect my family and I want you to understand that!" Leo says firmly, Janelle shakes her head "and being seen by everyone as a cheater's girlfriend?" Janelle says.

"well, it doesn't have to be like that, if you care more about other people's opinions than me" Leo says irritated.

"I thought you trusted me" Janelle says "and I thought you understood that my work and life are not easy to deal with" Leo says, Janelle fills her eyes with tears.

"Leo, I really like you, I went through a lot to be with you, unimaginable things! But look at us, we barely spend time together because I don't even know where you go when you're not in the tower, and when you're in the tower you need to go on a mission, You don't tell me anything, you keep secrets and the worst thing is that you don't even care about it! You don't even remember me!" Janelle says.

"And you remember? When did you came here? You're always in Mission Creek and when you come here, it's because you found out about something that happened to me like now, but you are never here when things happen, and when I really need it, we are very different, you never agree with me!" Leo raises his voice.

"maybe because I don't even know you anymore you only keep secrets" Janelle says "It's not about that anymore Janelle, you always come to ask me to be a good boyfriend and keep you company but what have you done for me?" Leo asks "I've been by your side!" Janelle says.

"If you were, you would know me well enough to know that I lied on camera and that I would only do it for a greater reason, and you wouldn't be yelling at me because of your reputation was ruined!" Leo says irritated, Janelle sighs.

"What are we doing?" Janelle says "I don't know!" Leo says.

"Leo, are you going to tell me why all this is happening?" Janelle asks one last time "I can't, I want to but I can't, can you understand that?" Leo says "I can, but...I can't continue like the sucker in the story, and pretend that everything is fine" Janelle says, Leo nods his head.

"I don't think this will work, you're right, we are very different, and we live very different lives" Janelle says, Leo looks at her seriously "Yes" Leo says dryly.

"it's not that I don't love you, I do, you're my best friend and the coolest guy I've ever met..." Janelle smiles slightly "I understand, I love you too, but maybe we're not... we were meant to be together" Leo says with a heavy feeling in his chest.

"I think we should break up" Janelle says, Leo sighs holding back tears.

"I don't want to lose you" Leo says "that's why...if we break up now, we'll avoid fighting worse and losing each other's friendship forever" Janelle says, Leo takes a deep breath.

"maybe it's better this way" Leo says "Come here" Janelle opens her arms with a crying look, Leo hugs her tightly with a tear running down his face.

"I loved every second with you" Janelle says "And I loved it even more" Leo says, the two try to process the information hugging each other for a while longer.

After a while, Janelle leaves and Leo gets in the car with the others.

"let's go!" Leo says putting on his safe belt pretending to be fine "how was it?" Finn asks "it was just a fight" Leo says.

"But are you guys okay?" Grace ask "Yes, yes" Leo says "are you okay?" AJ asks "Yeah" Leo says and gives a fake smile.

"are you sure? she looked angry" Daniel says "what is this, an interrogation? I said I'm fine, Now no more questions because we have a wedding to go to!" Leo says starting the car.

Everyone looks at each other with a suspicious look.

"How do i look?" Douglas says "like a guy who redeemed himself 100% in life" Chase smiles, Douglas smiles shaking his head.

"I had the opportunity to live two completely different lives, but nothing will erase my evil past...but at least my future will be something to be proud of" Douglas says "your future will be amazing, I'm proud of you" Chase says.

"Thank you Chase" Douglas looks in the mirror, Chase thinks "Uh Douglas I want to talk to you...about something" Chase says.

"Chase I told you, no work and being Capitain for today okay" Douglas says "No, it's not about that it's about me and..." Chase says, Douglas turns to him.

"I want to ask you something" Chase says slightly nervous, Douglas puts his hand on his shoulder "You have my blessing" Douglas says, Chase frowns.

"You were going to ask my blessing for you to marry Harper, right?" Douglas smirk "How did you know?" Chase says "You're going to be 20 this year" Douglas says "Oh, yeah" Chase sighs.

"I know how much you love her, and how much she loves you, and you are her father figure if you said no or thought it was crazy... I wouldn't be able to..." Chase says "it's okay Chase, I think it's amazing that you thought of me, I appreciate that" Douglas says "yes, sure" Chase says.

"are you really thinking about doing this?" Douglas ask "If our messy life allows me" Chase smiles slightly.

"Don't think too much, just go ahead" Douglas says "it's just...there are some things I need to resolve first" Chase says.

"you don't need to worry about anything, you and Harper are already married at heart" Douglas chuckles, Chase laughs gently "I think so" Chase looks down.

"But it's not whether she'll say yes or no that's your concern, right?" Douglas says "I just want to start my life with her without worrying about anything else" Chase says.

"There will never be a time when there is nothing left to worry about Chase" Douglas says "I know, but you got I'm saying" Chase says "Yeah I got It" Douglas says.

"Well look at me, it's never too late" Douglas says pointing to his groom's outfit, Chase laughs "It's about time" Chase smiles.

"But you don't intend to propose marriage to her today, right" Douglas asks worriedly "No" Chase chuckles "Great, I don't want you to steal my moment" Douglas fixes his spiky hair.

"Sure" Chase says "today all the attention will be on me" Douglas laughs, Chase rolls his eyes.

"let's go!" Douglas hugs Chase and the two leave.

"is this good or bad?" Kaz ask "Well, it's nice to see you dressed like a man sometimes, and not like a nerd teenager, you know" Bree blushes.

"Hey I dress like a man!" Kaz says "Come on Kaz" Bree says "Well, I already act like a man if I dress like one I look very intimidating, and I don't like humiliating other guys" Kaz says convinced.

"I wouldn't care, If you looked intimidating, it's really hot" Bree says softly, leaning towards him, Kaz looks around when he sees that no one is near, he gently holds her face and kisses her softly, Bree smiles into the kiss.

Kaz breaks the kiss to look at her and her delicate lips and then into her eyes with a slight smile "I Lo...like you!" Kaz says choking mid-sentence, Bree frowns "I really like you, Bee" Kaz says.

Bree smiles and adjusts his clothes "I really like you too Kazzy" Bree says with a delicate smile "Today I don't want to think about anything else okay, just about us" Bree puts her hand on his leg.

"Douglas is one of us, he had his days as a villain, a murderer, a bad guy, but look at him today" Jack says "You're a little princess inside, aren't you Jack?" Mercedes says, Ledger chuckles.

"What would you do if you fell in love then?" Jack says "I don't fall in love" Mercedes says "that's something someone who would fall in love would say" Ledger says.

"No, I don't open up my life to fall in love" Mercedes says "What if it happens?" Jack asks, Mercedes chuckles shaking her head.

"I just want to continue living freely, being myself, if someone is willing to live all this by my side I won't stop it" Mercedes says looking at the altar.

"Yeah, I think we should live life with the people we love without the pressure of having a ceremony... no one gives a shit what color your wedding flowers are, just be happy together and fuck the rest" Ledger says, Mercedes looks at him, and he continues looking at the altar thoughtfully.

"Well, I'm a romantic guy" Jack says "you don't say" Ledger says "I want to get married one day" Jack says, Mercedes laughs "who would marry you?" Mercedes laughs.

"well I know very well the type of woman She would have a strong, uncontrollable, adventurous personality, tough demeanor, persistent, funny, impulsive, not afraid to break rules and experienced in many ways like me" Jack smirk "The closest thing you'll get to that is a dog" Ledger says.

"And I thank you so much for taking care of me, son, I wouldn't have been able to handle everything that happened in my life without having you there by my side" Melody says.

"Do you think Douglas can handle the job?" Finn asks "Yes" Melody laughs "in case you change your mind I'm here to take you back home" Finn says, Melody hits his arm lightly and he laughs.

"Ready?" Harper says taking the bridesmaid bouquet "I've never been so ready" Melody smiles, Harper waves to open the door to the altar.

The music starts playing and the doors open, everyone gets up.

Naomi walks in throwing flowers in a delicate little white dress.

"Aw Chase she stole your job" Adam says, Chase glares at him "I'm too old for this" Chase says sarcastically, Mr Davenport smiles at Naomi proudly and she runs to him as soon as she sees him,

Harper enters soon after, Douglas takes a deep breath, Chase looks at Harper and smiles, she looks at him and waves her hand quickly, making Chase chuckle.

Finn and Melody enter, all eyes turn to Melody but she just looks at Douglas.

Douglas smiles, Melody and Finn arrive at the altar, Finn puts his hand on Douglas' shoulder "She's all yours" Finn says, Melody looks at Douglas and smiles.

Jack starts crying, Ledger and Mercedes look at him confused "What the fuck?" Mercedes says "I said I'm romantic and I love weddings" Jack blows his nose "Oh for God sake" Ledger says.

"We are all gathered here today, to unite this man and this woman in holy matrimony" the ceremonialist says, Harper is next to Melody and Mr Davenport is next to Douglas.

Chase keeps looking at Harper during the ceremony, she feels his gaze "the bride and groom are right there" Harper says silently moving her lips "I know that" Chase whispers and smirks, Harper smiles and bites her lip containing the smile.

"You can say your wedding vows today" the officiant says, Melody sighs.

"Douglas, I always seemed to choose the wrong path, I never knew my place in the world, when I met you i was afraid of getting involved with the wrong people again, i was very restricted with her relationships, with that I managed to get my life together, become a mother and a PhD, and forgot the girl I used to be...until I found you, you changed everything" Melody smiles.

"You are the one who made me reconnect with a good part of my past, a part that I didn't even know existed, all my achievements became more meaningful with you, you never gave up on me, even though I rejected you and was rigid, which is in fact a part of my personality, you never gave up on me..." Melody takes his hand.

"You were the light I needed in my darkest moment" Melody says, Douglas smiles "And I fell in love with everything about you, every moment we spent together...I can feel that the entire universe aligned itself for me to reach you...And just like the universe, my love for you is infinite" Melody says emotionally.

"Melody, my Melody, lives my whole life in deafening silence until I begin to hear the Melody of my heart that led me to this moment" Douglas says, Melody chuckles.

"I know you love puns with music... you made me a better guy, I thought no one would ever be able to love a guy like me, or understand me...The whole world never understood me, but you... are the only person in the world who resonates with me" Douglas says.

"Before I even met you, you already changed my life, you gave me a daughter..." Douglas says, Harper smiles "along with that, you gave me hope, you saved me...Seeing who I really am, not who I was, bringing fully myself back from the shadows, making me capable of love...You make me happier than I ever thought I could be" Douglas smiles, Melody presses her lips together to keep from crying.

"Douglas Orville Davenport, do you accept Melody Stone, as your lawful wife, to love and respect her, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, until death do you part?" The officiant says "I do" Douglas says and smiles at her.

"Melody Stone, do you accept Douglas Orville Davenport, as your lawful husband, to love and respect him, in sickness and in health, in joy and in sorrow, until death do you part?" The officiant says "I do" Melody says and smiles and wrinkles her nose.

"So by the power invested in me, I now declare you, Husband and wife" the officiant says, everyone watches happily.

"You can kiss the bride" the officiant says, Douglas lifts Melody's veil and looks into her eyes, and leans in to kiss her gently.

Everyone stands up and applauds them celebrating "Woah! Applause for Dr Melody Davenport PhD!! Woaaah!" Harper says, Melody laughs as everyone celebrates.

Everyone goes to the wedding party.

Leo is at a table with Bree and Kaz talking about his breakup with Janelle

"Oh Leo I'm sorry, I know how you liked Janelle" Bree says taking Leo's hand "Yeah but, it was for the greater good, she doesn't fit into the way I live my life, and that's okay" Leo says trying to conform.

"I'm sure you'll find someone who fits so well into your life that you'll even forget what it was like to live without them" Kaz says "Yeah like there wouldn't be a happy and complete life without this person" Bree looks at Kaz and smiles.

Leo sighs "Yeah, maybe you're right I just need to...wait" Leo looks down, Bree hugs him to comfort him.

From afar Mr Davenport and Tasha are drinking champagne and Mr Davenport looks at Bree and Kaz suspiciously.

"is something wrong Donald?" Tasha asks "do you think there might be something going on between Bree and Kaz?" Mr Davenport says.

"Well they do spend a lot of time together, but maybe they're just close friends" Tasha says "I don't know, they're too close to be just friends" Mr Davenport says suspiciously.

"Donald stop! You're paranoid and let's just say there's something going on between them, Bree is a woman now she knows how to take care of herself" Tasha says "No no Tasha she's still my little girl" Mr Davenport whimpers.

"Donald, she's an adult, and a very responsible one, she knows what she's doing" Tasha says "but I'm not sure Kaz is the right guy for her" Mr Davenport says.

"He's a super nice guy, I like him... maybe you just need to get to know him better" Tasha says, Mr Davenport shakes his head, Tasha laughs.

All the single girls at the party gather to catch the bouquet, even Harper who is drinking at a table with Chase.

"Aren't you going to catch the bouquet?" Chase asks "Nope" Harper smirk.

"are you sure?" Chase ask "it's just a silly tradition" Harper says.

"Okay, what if I'm just waiting to see whether or not you catch the bouquet to make the decision whether or not I'm going to propose to you?" Chase says "You're not that kind of guy" Harper says "okay" Chase shrugs.

"You're kidding, right" Harper says, Chase looks around enjoying the party "Right?" Harper says worriedly "I don't know, you're the one worried about that" Chase smirk.

"Oh and you don't think about that?" Harper says, Chase shrugs making fun of her.

"Chase!" Harper says "it doesn't matter to me" Chase says looking away pretending he doesn't care.

"Three two one!" Melody throws the bouquet that was going to fall into a girl's hand but suddenly the bouquet flies in the opposite direction.

Harper uses molecularkines to pull the bouquet to her hands, all the girls look at her indignantly.

"Ha, it's mine...Bye bye bitches!" Harper waves sarcastically and geo-leaps away, Chase laughs watching the girls run after her from his table.
