saw
you yanking Jeremy's tail just now,” Suzanne teased.
    “I was reminding him to
put it back in his pants,” Ashley said defensively.
    Jeremy snarled at her and
shifted into lion form, ignoring his mother's warning finger. He
wriggled out of his tuxedo and strutted around with a cheeky glint in
his eye.
    See, no pants now!
    “Jeremy Gray! You
shift back right this instant!” Harper scolded. Jeremy simply
shook his head and darted out of his mother's reach.
    Amidst the laughter and
craziness, Serena finally managed to have a stolen moment alone with
Jax. Wrapping her arms around his neck, she nuzzled him lovingly and
sighed. Jax kissed her and growled, “I can't wait to get you
alone tonight.”
    Serena blushed. “I
never thought that I'd have such a big, beautiful wedding, surrounded
by so many people I love. In fact, I didn't think I would ever get
married.”
    Jax quirked a smile. “But
meeting me changed your thinking.”
    “Meeting you changed
everything,” she breathed.
    They were about to kiss again
when Gramma and Ne-ma came bounding up to them. “Oh there you
are! Are you going to throw your bouquet?” they asked eagerly.
    “Oh. Yes, of course.”
Serena grinned. “Let's do it now!”
    “Yay! I'll catch it
for sure!”
    “No way! I'll be right
in front...”
    Serena laughed when Gramma
and Ne-ma began to jostle and elbow each other as they followed her
to the middle of the ballroom. “Come on, ladies! Gather
round! The bride's going to toss the bouquet!”
    Serena gazed at her handsome
groom, and shared a long, meaningful look with him as all the single
ladies crowded excitedly behind her.
    I love you and want you
forever, and I'm so happy that you are mine.
    Jax smiled at her as he held
Ashley's hand. Serena smiled and blew her husband and daughter a big
kiss. Marcus, Staci and Joshua were standing behind them and they
grinned happily.
    Serena took a deep breath and
looked around. This was her beautiful, beautiful family. And she
had so many wonderful friends and neighbors in this warm, quirky
town.
    She remembered what Ashley
had said the first time she visited her kindergarten. This is my
school.
    Serena smiled and whispered,
“This...is my home, my heart.”
    Grinning, she threw her
bouquet high in the air.
    I love you all!
