This story is the third part in the Friendly Neighbours series. Before you read this you should read Friendly Neighbours and Friendly Neighbours; Moving in. I'm starting this story with the end, the following chapters will lead up to this moment .
Levy looked at her reflection in the full length mirror. She had never felt more beautiful. Her blue unruly hair where held back with a headband in white lace. The beautiful makeup accentuated her eyes and the earrings had the shaped of joined hearts. The strapless dress had a close-fitting bodice covered in tiny white pearls and the long skirt was flowing down her legs and almost reached the floor. She would never had found this wonderful dress if it wasn't for Erza.
Erza had done an amazing job with Natsu's and Lucy's wedding and she was doing the same amazing job with Levy's and Gajeel's. Sure they had to stop her sometimes when she got a little too carried away, but it wouldn't be this perfect without her. Erza had total control and wasn't going to let anything ruin this day.
Levy turned around and smiled at her friends who were gathered in the couches behind her. Lucy, Mira, Juvia and Cana were all smiling back at her.
"I'm getting married!" Levy said. She resisted the urge to jump with joy, the heels on her shoes where to hight for that. She didn't want to walk down the aisle with a sprained ancle.
"You are! And we are so happy for you!"
Lucy gave her a hug, and the others joined in.
The door opened and Rogue walked in, holding two small sleepy children in his arms.
"Wow, Levy, you're beautiful!" he said and his cheeks turned a little red.
"Thanks Rogue. You look great."
He was wearing a white suit and his resemblance to Gajeel was even more noticeable at the moment. They really looked like brothers and now they behaved like brothers too. A lot had changed since Rogue moved in with them and he had opened up a lot since then. He could still be quiet and a bit stand offish, but so was Gajeel.
Levy reached out and took the sleeping little girl into her arms. Her twin brother shifted in Rogue's arms and continued to sleep. At the moment he didn't mind that his sister was no longer next to him.
"They just fell asleep", Rogue told her. "Your mother is talking to Erza at the moment, but she's practically begging me to give them back to her. She really loves being a grandmother. Everybody loves them."
"Of course they do," Levy said with a smile. "So, how's the groom doing?"
"He's nervous, definitely nervous," Rogue said. "He's… rambling that you might have changed your mind, that you finally realized that you deserve someone better."
"Has he been talking to Jet and Droy?"
"He was actually talking to them when I left. Jet was telling him to stop being so stupid. And then he told him that if he didn't show up at the altar or hurt you in any way he would make sure he'd regret it."
"Jet said that? My Jet said that?"
Levy couldn't hide her surprise. She knew her two best friends had learned to tolerate Gajeel but they still didn't like him that much.
Rogue nodded. Before he could say anything else Levy's mother came into the room.
"There you are," she said and took Yajeh from Rogue's arms and held the still sleeping boy close to her. "Levy, you are so beautiful!"
"Don't cry, mom," Levy said and hugged her. "You have cried three times already."
"I can't help it. I'm so happy for you."
Levy hugged her mother tightly and felt her own eyes water. No tears, she wasn't going to cry. Erza would be upset if the makeup was ruined when she walked down the aisle.
"Are there any room for us?" Lucy said and joined the hug together with the other girls.
Levy gave her kids back to Rogue and hugged everyone tightly.
"I'm getting married!" she exclaimed again.
Her mother gave her a kiss on the cheek and then she brought both kids with her and left the room. Rogue left with her. He was going to check up on Gajeel again. The ceremony would start soon.
"Come here, let me fix your makeup," Lucy said.
Levy sat down and Lucy fixed the mascara and the eyeshadow and put on just a little bit more blusher. Levy was beautiful and Lucy was so happy for her. She thought about her wedding with Natsu. It had been such a great day, and now it was Levy's turn.
"There you go," Lucy said and hugged her.
"I'll tell Erza we're ready," Cana said and she and Mira left the room. Lucy hugged Levy again and then smiled at Levy's father who entered the room.
"You are so beautiful," he said and Lucy could tell how proud he was of his daugther.
She left them as he held out his arm ready to escort her down the aisle. She found Cana, Mira and Juvia and they got ready to walk down the aisle. Cana gave Erza the signal to make the music start and the door opened. Levy and her father smiled at each other as the walked out of the room.
