The Good Witch's Gift Page #7

Well, anyway...

It's time for you two to

start your new life together.

Jake, would you escort our guests?

With pleasure.

Cassie did a wonderful job.

It's a beautiful room.

Who gives this woman to

be married to this man?

I do.

Dear friends and family,

we are gathered here today

to witness the loving union

of Jake Russell and Cassandra Nightingale

in the sacred bond of marriage.

Jake, please place the

ring on Cassie's finger.

Cassie, with this ring

I give you all that I am and ever will be.

With this ring, I thee wed.

Cassie, please put the

ring on Jake's finger.

As I place this ring on your finger,

I give you all that I am and ever will be.

With this ring, I thee wed.

At this time,

Jake and Cassie would like to

say their own vows to each other.

Cassie, not long ago you came into my life.

And nothing has been the same since.

Words can't easily express

all that you've given me.

In fact, I can only think of one.

Magic.

I love you.

Um, Jake...

You gave me a home when I had none,

a home in your heart.

And you gave me a family

when I had none.

And I will love and cherish them

as I will love and cherish you.

Doesn't take a crystal ball to know

that you and I will be

each other's strength

and hope and joy.

And, um...

this is my promise to you.

A love that's never going to end.

By the authority vested in

me as Mayor of Middleton,

it gives me great pleasure to

pronounce you husband and wife.

Jake, you may kiss your bride.

I've got something to show you.

Is this... a wedding cake?

It's a cookie cake.

I took all the baked goods at hand

and Lori and I used icing

to hold it all together.

Oh, George, what would we do without you?

Cassie...

what if I stayed here?

In Middleton? That would be great, George.

Not just Middleton.

In Grey House.

I could run the place.

What an interesting idea.

Well, I got it from you.

- Did you really?

- When you said

you couldn't be in two places at...

... once.

You know, it's a big job.

I could use a big job right now.

On one condition.

You wouldn't do all the work alone.

We'd be equal partners.

If you'll excuse me,

I need to welcome all my guests.

Won't you come in?

How'd you know I was out here?

Well, you weren't in there, so I

thought maybe you were out here.

Well, I, uh... came to get my little girl.

Family is a very powerful force

this time of year, isn't it?

I don't exactly have a family anymore.

Oh, Leon.

Where there's love, there's family.

You don't have to keep running.

So, come in from the cold.

Whenever you're ready.

- Thank you, Betty.

- You're welcome.

Isn't she a lovely bride?

Hope I'm not late for dinner...

Gwen?

Hello, George.

I thought only Cassie popped up like this.

I brought my daughter and

grandchildren with me for a visit.

They've never seen snow, but...

now the weather station

says no snow this Christmas!

Well, they're wrong.

Cassie's forecast is for snow. Tonight.

- Well, I hope she's right.

- You can bet on it.

Is snow the only reason you came back?

You're the only reason I needed, George.

I guess you haven't heard, but...

after the honeymoon,

I'm moving into Grey House.

Really, George?

It's a big house.

- I know.

- Lot's of room...

Yes, yes, there is.

It can use some of my Irish hospitality.

No doubt.

There we go.

Excuse me?

I wanted to give you this.

It's all there.

The money from the Shelbyville Bank job.

It was hidden under the floor of your shop.

Cassie's shop?

Yeah, well, it wasn't a

shop when I stashed it there.

It was just an abandoned building.

Okay.

This isn't exactly the right time or place.

No, it is the time.

Cause I want my little

girl to see me do it.

I had a plan to win Jodi back.

I figured I could convince her

to run away and live with her dad.

But then I realized...

that you can't buy love.

And I don't want to run anymore.

So how do we know this

isn't just another con?

It's not a crime to return the money.

And Leon has done his time.

Look, I know I've made

some big mistakes, alright?

And I know it's going to

take time for everybody

to trust me again.

But I'm going to stay right

here and do whatever it takes.

Cause I want that second chance.

I want a family again.

Jodi, I've never had

anything but love for you.

And I know how much I hurt you.

I saw the hurt in your eyes the other night

when you dropped the

silver dollar off for Santa.

You were watching that family

on the street, weren't you?

That happy family.

And that's all you

really want for Christmas.

Not this... money.

You said it yourself, angel.

I was a god guy once.

So can you let me be that guy again?

A second chance.

I guess a second chance is worth a try.

Jake!

I put a lock on his car, he

can't go anywhere. He's...

He's... right here.

Yep.

Uh, Chief?

Does this mean that I'm off duty now?

Well, Derek, you put this in the lock-up.

Then do whatever you want.

So...

what do you say we get an early

start on that Christmas date?

I'll save you a seat at dinner tonight.

Would this be a good time

to say "Merry Christmas"?

It's going to be a very merry Christmas,

cause tomorrow morning...

I'm going to wake up with my family.

Do you know the moment that

I fell in love with you?

It was when I first saw

you come down your stairs.

Well, it took me a little

longer to fall in love with you.

It was when I reached

the bottom of my stairs.

Of course, I didn't know what I was in for.

Well...

you still don't.

Cassie!

You are a bundle of Christmas surprises.

Well, there's a lot more

where that came from.

- Really?

- Mm-hmm.

Look, it's snowing, just

like Cassie said it would.

How did...

Magic happens.
