Sera laughed softly as he carried her up the stairs, her fingers absentmindedly drawing soft shapes along the back of his neck. His warmth, his steady heartbeat, the way he said “Finn and Sera” like it was the most natural thing in the world—it made her chest swell with emotion.

When he set her down gently in their room, she didn’t let go right away. Her arms lingered around his neck, keeping him close for a moment longer.

“Finn and Sera,” she echoed in a whisper, her forehead resting against his. “Just like it was always meant to be.”

She closed her eyes, breathing him in, heart calm and full. “And soon… maybe there’ll be more to us. A new little someone who gets to grow up knowing what real love looks like.”

Sera opened her eyes and smiled up at him, fingers trailing along his jaw. “But for now, all I need is this. You. Here. With me.”

She tugged him gently down into a kiss, slow and lingering, before whispering against his lips, “Let’s end the best day of our lives wrapped up in each other.”

Sera smiled against his lips, her fingers brushing softly through his hair.

"You're sweet," she whispered, her voice low and affectionate, "but I think the dress has done its job tonight." She pulled back just enough to meet his gaze, her eyes warm and full of love. "It got me to you. That’s all I needed."

With a soft laugh, she slipped her arms from around his neck and gently turned, her fingers finding the zipper of the gown. “Maybe you can help me out of it?” she asked over her shoulder, a playful glint in her eyes despite how tender the moment was.

She trusted him—not just with this, but with everything. Her heart, her future, her forever.

Once the dress was off and carefully laid aside, she turned back to him in her slip, reaching for his hands.

“Just hold me tonight,” she whispered. “That’s all I want. Just you. Just us.”

Sera stirred slowly beneath the covers, the early morning light spilling softly through the curtains. Her eyelashes fluttered as she felt the familiar warmth of his arms around her, his lips brushing hers in tender kisses. She hummed softly, sleep still clinging to her voice as a smile tugged at her lips.

"I love you too..." she whispered, eyes still closed, leaning into him with the kind of comfort only he could bring.

Her fingers found his, intertwining naturally as she finally blinked open to meet his gaze. The sight of him—messy-haired, eyes full of love—made her chest swell.

“Married,” she whispered with a breathy laugh, still not quite believing it. “I woke up married to my best friend.”

She kissed his nose, soft and slow. “This is already the best day of my life... again.”

Sera blinked awake to the warmth of his lips on hers, a slow, sleepy smile curling at the corners of her mouth. Her eyes fluttered open, immediately meeting the soft adoration in his.

“Mmm… husband,” she whispered with a dreamy sigh, reaching up to run her fingers gently through his hair. “I could get used to waking up like this.”

His words made her chest ache in the sweetest way, and she leaned up to kiss him again—gentle, loving, full of quiet gratitude. “I love you more than anything, Finn. And now I get to call you mine forever.”

She tucked her head beneath his chin, curling into his arms and soaking in the peaceful stillness of the morning. “Think we can stay like this all day?” she asked softly, voice muffled against his chest. “Just you, me, and the rest of forever.”
