So far it had been a very lovely ceremony. Well, excluding the "what?" chants the fans continued to scream after the priest's every sentence. Stephanie wore a beautiful white dress that showed off her curves, and a smile firmly set on her face. Hunter looked dashing in his traditional tuxedo, seeming to exude happiness, as he had been for the past week or so since he found out about his wife's pregnancy.
"Well, JR, this has been great so far! A few more minutes and Stephanie and Triple H's vows will be complete!" The King crowed loudly, a huge grin stretched across his face.
JR rolled his eyes. "Joy of joys, King."
In the middle of the ring the priest continued, "If any man can show just cause, why they may not lawfully be joined together, let him now speak, or else hereafter for ever hold his peace."
Even the roar of the crowd died down at this point, everyone waiting on baited breath to see if someone would come out and interrupt the ceremony. The near silence lasted for nearly a minute, and just as the priest was about to go on familiar music blasted from the Titantron. Everyone in the arena, from the crowd, to the four in the ring, to the wrestlers in the back, watched in shock as the millennium clock counted down, and the Undisputed Champion came to a stop at the top of the ramp. He wore shiny, tight, black vinyl pants, black boots, and a Y2J hockey jersey; a smirk rested on his lips.
The crowd, unsure of the reasoning for the champ being out there, began to grow noisy again with confusion. They weren't the only ones, however.
"Y2J! Y2J! Folks, the Undisputed Champion, Chris Jericho, has just arrived on the scene! He's interrupted Stephanie and Triple H's vow renewal! What could the champion want out here? Why has he interrupted the ceremony?" JR asked, surprise clear in his voice.
The King looked torn. "I don't know, JR. He's the Undisputed Champion! A living legend! He can do whatever he wants to do! I just hope he doesn't ruin this moment for Stephanie... but I have a funny feeling about this. Something big is going to happen tonight!"
Finally, as the crowd began to let up, Jericho brought the microphone he had carried out with him to his lips. "I know everyone is curious as to why, I, Chris Jericho, the one and only Undisputed Champion, a living legend, would be out here right now. Trust me, I have a very good reason." He turned his focus from the arena in general to the people in the ring. "You know, I'd love to let you continue with your little ceremony and all... but there's one small problem. There is no way in hell I'm letting the woman who's carrying my child get married to anyone who's not me, let alone that big nosed jackass down there."
At first, it seemed as if the entire arena had been put on pause. Then, as if a switch had been flipped, the building erupted. The fans became almost deafening as they absorbed the information. A small group in the front row by the announce tables in particular seemed extremely excited. They each had signs of varying colors reading "Smoochy Dreamers Forever."
One, a tall girl who’s silver streaked black hair practically reached the floor, could be seen jumping up and down and heard yelling, "I knew it! I knew it! Yes!"
Meanwhile, two shorter girls with her yelled at the same time. The first sing-songed, "Hah! I told you! I told you!"
The other grumbled loudly, "Finally! Took 'em long enough, didn't it? As if I haven't been saying it all along!"
In the ring, Triple H turned wide angry eyes from Jericho to Stephanie. The Billion-Dollar Princess, for her part, was paying her husband absolutely no attention. She stood staring at Y2J in shock for a few moments, before a smile began to grow on her face. A smile ten times as beautiful as the one she'd forced on earlier to marry Triple H.
Hunter, seeing her smile, grew even more incensed. He shouted at her, "Stephanie! What the hell is this?!"
Before she could even attempt to answer, Chris went on, "Yes, jackass. You heard me right. My baby, not yours." He smirked. "I've heard you have a bit of a problem in that department anyway, so you really should have guessed!"
If Hunter was angry before, he was furious now. With a growl, he quickly spun to face his wife. Stephanie immediately began backing away from him when he began to advance on her, a look that promised pain darkening his features.
Suddenly, the crowd burst into another loud cheer as Jericho ran down the ramp at full speed, sliding into the ring behind Triple H. Borrowing a page from Edge's book, Chris speared him hard into the mat.
He quickly rose and kicked the prone man a few times before moving over to Stephanie and helping her out of the ring and back up the ramp. When they reached the top, they turned back to face the ring where Triple H was struggling to his knees. After wrapping a secure arm around Stephanie's waist, much to the delight of the fans and Stephanie herself, Jericho glared down at Hunter.
Malice clear in his voice he warned, "Oh, and one more thing. If anyone, especially you, comes near Stephanie... Well, let's just say I'm going to have a hard time stopping myself from getting sent to jail."
He used the arm around Stephanie to pull her to him for a passionate kiss, to which cheers and cat calls went up from the crowd, before releasing her and entwining their hands to lead her to the back. Even as they disappeared from view the cameras caught the genuinely happy smiles on their faces.
Back at the announce table, JR and The King were having a hard time saying much of anything. After a few tries, JR finally managed a few words. "In all my years... I can't say I've ever been this surprised. I think I'm literally speechless."
"Well, yeah, JR! I mean... this day will go down in history! Can you believe it? I can't believe it, and I just saw it!" The King exclaimed excitedly.
JR finally got himself together somewhat and said, "For those of you who just joined us... Ah, hell. Let's just watch the clip, I don't think you'd believe me if I told you."
Behind the commentators, three girls shared smiles as they once again watched their dream come true.

Author's Notes: The priest's words are an excerpt from The Form of Solemnization of Matrimony from the "Book of Common Prayer" which I found at http://www.ultimatewedding.com/, which has many different ceremonies and pretty much whatever you need to know about weddings.
Author's Notes 2: I'm considering writing a sequel, 'cause even I want an explanation to what happened in this fic. *lol*
