Jake reads: "Saying it then, against what comes: wife." Lily puts her hand on Rick's, without looking over. Rick takes a breath, fighting to contain his emotions. Jake continues: "While I can, while my breath, each hurried petal can still find her."
Henry and Karen stand face-to-face, looking into one another's eyes.
Jake closes the book and smiles at Tiffany, who grins back.
Karen reaches up to stroke Henry's cheek. In turn, he touches hers, and a tear traces its way toward her chin. Softly, they kiss. The camera moves back, and then further back, showing us the two of them clinging to each other in the middle of the ballpark.
The officiator pronounces Jake and Tiffany husband and wife. Lily watches them, touched, while Rick watches her and realizes what he almost lost. Jake and Tiffany kiss, and the officiator invites everyone to rejoice. The guests stand and applaud. Eli's like, why not? Lily steps up to congratulate the couple, and Rick watches her go. He glances around, looking jumpy, and makes a move. There's a flurry of excitement and congratulations as everyone hugs and mills around the newly married couple. Lily glances around for Rick, who's busy sneaking off. Lily continues her search, heading for the back rooms of the bookstore.
Lily finds Rick outside the kitchen, standing by himself and loosening his tie. She quietly asks if he's okay. He takes her by the arm and pulls her into the kitchen, past the wedding cake. Urgently, he grips her shoulders and apologizes, saying he's been "horrible" and he's made her sick, and he doesn't know what got into him. Lily immediately tries to make him stop, saying she wants him to listen to her. He refuses, saying, "Listen, I don't want to be away from you. I can't be away from you." Lily protests that he can't pass up his opportunity. He seems not to hear her, saying, "You are everything that I want." She says she's not letting him turn it down. He insists that he's staying. "No you're not. I'm turning down the syndication deal," she says. He says she's not. "Yes, I am. Our family means too much to me," she insists, touching his cheek. She says that if the syndicators want her now, they'll want her in a year. Rick argues that if Colin wants him now, he'll want Rick in a year. "I can't be away from you," Lily whispers urgently. He echoes the sentiment. "Plus, I'm pregnant," she says, getting misty. Finally, something that stops Rick's blabbing. He guppies, and asks, "What?" She says she suddenly remembered being nauseous like this in the past. "You're pregnant," he breathes, still not fully grasping it. "A hundred percent," she whispers. She studies his face and asks if he's upset. "What an...incredibly smart thing to do," he answers softly. She beams, and he asks, "My god, where are we going to put it?" Heh. "Uh huh," she says, giving her eyes a playful roll. They go back and forth a little longer, as Rick struggles to absorb the reality of it, and finally, they kiss. They stand, foreheads touching, and Lily asks if they should go back in. "Where?" Rick asks. She reminds him about the wedding. "Yeah, in a minute," he whispers, and they kiss some more. The camera slowly pulls back, and we fade to black.
