The next morning, I walked to the church doors—the church that had ‘closed’ due to the virus running rampant and infecting people. Pulling the door open with a fuckin’ wet wipe for Christ’s sake, I walked into the room and started looking for the man in charge.
My eyes found the minister who was set to marry my baby girl this weekend, and I grinned.
“So,” I said, walking up to him but making sure to stop six feet away. “I want to talk about this…”

“Daddy,” Ares said from the back seat. “What in the heck are you doing?”
I looked at her in the rearview mirror just as I was pulling into the parking lot.
“If you can’t guess,” I teased, eyeing her wedding dress that she’d put on despite her protests. “Then maybe you aren’t my daughter.”
She rolled her eyes then looked at her soon-to-be husband.
“I mean, I know you think you know what you’re doing, but I want to wait. I want to get married in front of my friends and family.”
I pulled into the parking lot just as she finished her statement, and her breath caught.
Her eyes went wide when honks started to fill the air around us. We passed by Reese and Luke. Bennett in his squad car. Mercy and Miller. Then the rest of the entire old and new SWAT team from their various cars, too.
Hayes cursed, his mouth going into a wide grin.
“How…” she breathed, looking at all of the people.
“Hayes actually gave me the idea,” I admitted, grinning at Hayes’ face. “It was a good idea, too. I just ran with it.”
Ares’s eyes filled with tears as she looked to Hayes and pressed a kiss to his mouth.
Together we got out of the car, my daughter blowing air kisses to all the random cars that were parked six feet apart in the parking lot.
She took in the large white screen that was displaying the church altar with the minister who she’d chosen to marry her at the front of it.
Her eyes went to me, then to her husband. “This isn’t going to get you into trouble, is it?”
I shrugged.
“Don’t you know,” I teased. “I’m all for breaking all the rules.”
Then my baby girl got married in the church of her dreams with the doors wide open, and all of her friends and loved ones watching on from their cars.
It might not have been what she wanted, but she would remember it as the best day of her life all the same.

That’s a lovely shade of bitch you’re wearing.

“Why are we going to Conleigh’s house again? I thought we decided it was for everyone’s best interest to stay away from each other. We don’t want to expose the kids,” Steel said.
I looked over at him with a roll of my eyes.
“I thought so, too,” I admitted. “But you know how she is. She called and begged me to come over. And I’m not usually one to deny my daughter when she’s crying that hard.”
